Wine is a good thing. If you are in a good mood, drink some wine. If you are in a bad mood, drink some wine.

During lunch, Uncle Tan took out the bulk wine that he had been reluctant to drink at home, took a plate of peanuts, and started to drink by himself.

"Dad, let me have a few drinks with you." Tan Jianjun took down a tea bowl from the table, took out the wine bottle and poured it into it.

"You don't know how to drink, why did you pour so much?" Uncle Tan quickly reached out and took the bottle back.

"Can't I learn if I don't know how to drink?" Tan Jianjun picked up the wine glass and smelled it under his nose. The spicy smell of wine filled his nostrils, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Just say you don't know how to drink anymore." Uncle Tan took a sip of wine, which was so spicy that he threw a peanut into his mouth.

Tan Jianjun is not a drinker. During festivals and festivals, he only drinks three small cups at most. The total of the three cups only amounts to one or two glasses of wine.

Tan Jianjun picked up the wine glass and took a small sip. He smacked his lips and his expression softened, "Hey, why is this wine different from what I usually drink? It was bitter and spicy last time, but it tastes a little sweet today."

,Did you change the wine?"

Uncle Tan: "What kind of wine should I change? It's the one I didn't finish last time. If you can drink it with sweetness, it means you have to drink a lot. People who know how to drink always feel spicy and sweet. Otherwise, what are you doing drinking that thing? Do you suffer?"

"

Tan Jianjun picked up the wine glass with a wry smile on his lips, "I heard people say that wine can relieve a thousand sorrows. I'll drink it and see if it can relieve it? Dad, one of us can do it."

"It's a relief." Uncle Tan clinked glasses with his son and took a sip of the wine. "At most, you don't know anything when you're drunk. You'll be fine when you wake up."

"Uh-" The hot liquor entered his throat, and Tan Jianjun let out a long breath of alcohol, "Dad, have you ever been drunk?"

Uncle Tan said: "Why have you never been drunk? The first time I got drunk, I was still young. I remember I was only sixteen or seventeen years old. I drank too much and slept all day and night. It scared your grandma."

"Eh." Tan Jianjun wondered, "You are so young, why did I let you drink so much wine?"

"Your father asked me to drink it." Uncle Tan wiped the corners of his mouth with his palm, "Do you know about Zhang Xizi's second uncle?"

"I know, Zhang Xizi keeps talking about how capable his second uncle is all day long."

"Yes, yes, that's him." Uncle Tan narrowed his eyes and fell into recollection, "That year, the second uncle came back from outside, wearing a military uniform and a big hat. He was so majestic that we all went to their house to watch the fun.

During lunch, the second uncle didn't let us go. He cooked a few dishes, opened the good wine he brought back, and drank with us young people.

You don’t know, that was the first time I drank such a delicious wine. Firstly, I was greedy for drinking, and secondly, I was very energetic. Zhang Xizi, Su Dajiang and I competed in drinking. In fact, we were

My drinking capacity is not great, but no one admits defeat. I drink too much from time to time, but I am still okay, and I can still find a home by myself.

When I got home, I fell asleep on the bed. Your grandma came to see me. She couldn't wake up no matter how hard I shook her. She was so frightened that she called the Barefoot Doctor. You said that drinking too much was not a disease, so the Barefoot Doctor asked your grandma to come over.

Give me more water to drink. When I wake up the next night, your grandma asks me and finds out that I drank it at Zhang Xizi’s house. Your grandma is so angry that she goes to their house and beats up Zhang Xizi and his second uncle.”

"Haha." Tan Jianjun smiled, and he could imagine his grandma's majestic appearance, "What did my grandma say when she came home?"

"What can you say? Your grandma just said how could you make me drink so much wine when I'm still a child."

"Dad, did you get drunk again later?"

"There is no way to get drunk without drinking. I got drunk later, but I was never as drunk as that time."

The two of them drank and talked. They didn't realize that Tan Jianjun had drunk two ounces of wine. He saw that his face was red, his eyes were blurred, and his tongue began to tie. "Dad." Tan Jianjun shook his head and tried to wake himself up, "I

No, I’m going to take a nap first.”

"Go ahead." Uncle Tan smacked his lips, "With your drinking capacity, you won't be able to practice Taoism no matter how hard you practice."

After drinking, Tan Jianjun fell asleep very quickly. In his sleep, there were not so many troubles, only Si Qiao and his child. He was a plump eldest son who loved to laugh. He grinned and giggled with his toothless gums whenever he was teased.

He laughs loudly and calls him daddy.

Tan Jianjun, who was sleeping soundly, smiled. It was true that wine could relieve worries.

It was only thanks to Gu Mingxia's help that the marriage exchange was possible back then, and now she went to find someone else. Aunt Tan felt really shameless and asked for help. She couldn't do anything with nothing. In the afternoon, while there was nothing else to do, Aunt Tan picked up fifty

Put eggs into a basket.

Gu Mingxia knew that something was wrong since she knew that Hongmei had run away. She couldn't afford to offend Huang Dujuan. He was afraid that she would be blamed for such a big loss. Fortunately, Huang Dujuan has not yet been able to offend her.

He didn't come to see her, so he probably forgot all about her.

Looking at Aunt Tan at the door, Gu Mingxia lowered her face and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think your family is doing? Now let me do the waxing in the middle."

Aunt Tan kept smiling and said, "Sister, this is all my fault. I didn't take good care of Hongmei. Don't be angry. I'll make amends to you."

Gu Mingxia held her hand on the door frame, "Hongmei has been running away for how long, and you just remembered to apologize to me, right?"

Aunt Tan said with a sneer: "Sister, let's go into the yard and say okay. It's inconvenient to talk at the door."

Gu Mingxia looked Aunt Tan up and down, then turned and walked into the house, "Come in."

In summer, people want to cool off and put a square table in the shade of the yard, where they usually eat and rest.

Gu Mingxia took the lead in sitting at the square table, mouthing to the low chair on the side, "Sit down."

"Hey." Aunt Tan carefully placed the basket on the table before sitting down. "These are the eggs laid by the chickens at home. Come over here and let you taste them."

Gu Mingxia glanced sideways at the basket, "I have one at home." After that, she pointed to the chicken coop and showed it to Aunt Tan, "Look, I also have several chickens in the chicken coop."

Aunt Tan: "What you have is yours. This is my little thought."

For the sake of the eggs, Gu Mingxia softened her tone and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"What else can happen? My in-laws are so stubborn now."

Gu Mingxia frowned, "Hey, old sister-in-law, such a big thing is not just a matter of two people, so who can be spared?"

"Yes." Aunt Tan accompanied her carefully, "But their family's requirements are too high, and our family cannot afford it."

"What is your request? Tell me."

"Their family said they wanted Hongzhu to marry Hongmei instead."

Gu Mingxia picked up the cup and was drinking water. When Aunt Tan said this, a mouthful of water hit her throat, "Pfft, cough, cough, cough..."

"Ouch, why are you still choking?" Aunt Tan quickly stood up and turned behind Gu Mingxia to help her beat her back.

"Ahem." After coughing, Gu Mingxia coughed out tears. After she calmed down, she waved her hands and said, "That yellow cuckoo really dares to think about letting red pearls replace red plums. How old is Song Sili and how big are the red pearls?

When they stand together, they don't look like a couple, but to me they look like a father and daughter."

Aunt Tan smiled awkwardly, "It's not for Song Sili, but for Song Sijian."

"That doesn't match it either. Did you agree?"

"How can I agree? I'm not the stepmother." Aunt Tan said: "The main thing is that Song Sijian's child. I don't think he is a grown-up child who has lived a good life, and is a spoiled child."

Gu Mingxia: "Then their family is willing?"

Aunt Tan: "I definitely can't agree to it. Now I'm asking for money if I don't accept it."

Gu Mingxia nodded in agreement, "It's reasonable to ask for money. Your family can't support anyone, so you can give them money. How much does their family want?"

Aunt Tan: "It's four hundred yuan. Do you think our family is so poor that we can't make ends meet? Can we afford four hundred yuan?"

Gu Mingxia was so shocked that her mouth opened wide, "Four hundred! How dare you ask for it!"

Aunt Tan: "No, you think I can't afford a hundred yuan even if I'm serious about paying a bride price to marry a wife. They want four hundred yuan, just because they don't give our family a way to survive."

Gu Mingxia: "Then what do you mean by coming to me? Let me tell you first, I don't have any money to borrow."

"I won't ask you to borrow money." Aunt Tan said, "I will help people to the end and send the Buddha to the West. My boss has told me about this. I would like to trouble you to go to the Song family and talk about it so that they don't have to ask for money."

"No, no, no." Gu Mingxia shook her head, "I can't hide from Huang Dujuan. You're stupid. I'll send him to my door myself."

"Sister-in-law, I beg you, sister-in-law." Aunt Tan clasped her hands on her chest and begged: "I have no choice now. You are the only one who can speak, so please help me."

Gu Mingxia put her hands together and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't embarrass me. I really can't help you with this matter. You'd better go find someone else."

"If I can find someone else, I won't come to you." Aunt Tan burst into tears, "Sister-in-law, I'm begging you."

Gu Mingxia was in a very difficult position. She really didn't want to meet Huang Dujuan, but Aunt Tan looked so pitiful that she couldn't bear to refuse her any more, "Sister-in-law, you're just trying to catch up."

Aunt Tan said sincerely: "Sister, no matter whether this matter succeeds or not, my sister-in-law will be grateful to you forever."

"Okay." Gu Mingxia reluctantly agreed, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to go to see Huang Dujuan alone. How about this? You and Tan Jianjun will go with me tomorrow, and I will be the intermediary to negotiate with them."

"Okay! Thank you, sister." Aunt Tan thanked Gu Mingxia again and again. She picked up the corner of her clothes and wiped the tears from her face, "What time do you think we should go tomorrow?"

Gu Mingxia thought for a while, "Let's go in the morning. Let's have a quick meal and then set off."

"Then, I'll tell Jianjun when I go home." Aunt Tan felt reassured and was about to walk out.

Gu Mingxia hurriedly caught up with the basket, "Sister-in-law, take your eggs away."
