Chang Xing didn't know what to say, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Xucheng is doing Wanyi's best."
But Wu Wanyi quit: "Xucheng, what are you doing outside all day now?"
"Sister, what can I do? Our family background is not good, and no factory is willing to take me in. Now I rely on recommendations to go to college, so I can only stand aside. People with terrible grades can go to college, but I can't go. I can What are you doing?" Wu Xucheng said with great resentment.
"Xucheng, what do you mean? Your parents made the mistake of giving birth to you, right?" Wu Wanyi could tell that Wu Xucheng was obviously blaming his parents.
Wu Xucheng naturally refused to admit it: "I didn't. Who can I blame? I can't find anything to do now. You said that if I don't go out and hang out, I stay at home every day and become an eyesore?"
"Xucheng! The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes. Your sister has just come back, and you are just like quarreling with your sister. What are you talking about?" Shen Zhuru quickly scolded his son. It was the first time that his son-in-law came back. Regardless of whether he was satisfied or not, Wu You still have to have family rules.
"Which..." When Shen Zhuru called Chang Xing, she couldn't remember Chang Xing's name again.
Wu Wanyi was very unhappy: "Mom, my name is Chang Xing! You can't remember it."
"Oh, Chang Xing, you and Wanyi sit down for a while, and I'll get some food. You just came back, so you should be hungry," Shen Zhuru said.
"Mom, let me help you. Chang Xing, please move those things to the kitchen. I can't move them," Wu Wanyi said.
Chang Xing and Wu Wanyi entered the house. All the things they brought were still in their bags and had not been taken out. Several bags were full. Except for one bag containing clothes of Chang Xing and Wu Wanyi, the rest were It's some bacon or something, very heavy.
Chang Xing nodded, stood up and easily moved all the bags into the kitchen except the one containing clothes.
As soon as Chang Xing opened the bag, all the various cured game meats in the bag were exposed. Shen Zhuru's eyes widened when he saw it.
Who can produce so much meat these days? Although Donghai people don't like to eat bacon, they are not so pretentious these days, and they are very satisfied with eating meat.
What's more, the bacon brought by Chang Xing is different from ordinary bacon. Ordinary bacon is smoked, and the meat will have a smell of smoke. People who like it will find it very fragrant, but people who don't like it will find it unpleasant. Wen. Chang Xing knew some of the eating habits of the Donghai people from Wu Wanyi at that time, so he processed them in a special way. The various game meats were well preserved and did not have that smoke smell, especially because Chang Xing used After treatment with Reiki, it tastes more beautiful than fresh meat.
"Before Chang Xing came here, he went to the mountains several times and hunted some prey. Unfortunately, I couldn't carry it, and there were still many that I couldn't bring with me." Wu Wanyi said regretfully.
The Wu family is in a bad situation now, and the days when they eat meat are naturally very rare. Shen Zhuru can't even remember the last day when his family ate meat. Anyway, it is very far away.
"Do you really often eat meat there?" Shen Zhuru couldn't believe it.
"We in rural areas can raise our own poultry and livestock. Our brigade has enough food, so eating meat is not difficult. Our brigade has a pig farm. We have to kill several pigs a month and we can eat meat every few days," Chang Xing said. .
"I really didn't expect that your rural areas are doing so well now," Shen Zhuru said.
"Mom, actually not all rural areas are like this. Xianjiqiao is doing much better than other rural areas. The Xianjiqiao brigade has set up a machinery factory, a gardening farm, tea, various fruit trees, pigs and chickens, It’s so impressive that some nearby brigades don’t have enough to eat. Compared with the Xianjiqiao Brigade, it’s far behind. Every household in the Xianjiqiao Brigade has electricity. It’s almost the same as in our city,” Wu Wanyi said.
"That's good, that's good. I've always been worried about you suffering in the countryside. I didn't expect you to enjoy happiness there. It's much better than us." Shen Zhuru accidentally revealed the situation at home.
"Mom, are you having a hard time at home?" Wu Wanyi immediately heard the implication.
"Well, our family is not well-connected. Your father was also marginalized in the workplace. From a senior expert to a handyman, he was just short of being kicked out of the research institute. I retired early. The whole family pointed at your father alone. salary." Shen Zhuru sighed.
"Have you received the money I sent you?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"I've received it. I've saved it all for you. It's not easy for you to be alone outside. Now that you have a family, the money should be treated as your private money." Shen Zhuru said.
"Mom, tell me, I sent you money to support your family. You are living such a hard life, why don't you know how to spend the money?" Wu Wanyi complained.
"Silly boy, it's not easy for you to go to the countryside and join the queue. Why do your parents have the nerve to spend your hard-earned money on you? Although our life is difficult, it is still easier than yours in the countryside." Shen Zhuru said while saying While sitting, I started to prepare the meal.
At this time, Wu Wanyi's father, Wu Duming, returned home. When he saw the bags placed in the living room, he asked Wu Xucheng, who was lying leisurely on the chair: "Xucheng, who is coming to our house?"
"My sister is back." Wu Xucheng said.
"Your sister? Wanyi!" Wu Duming was very happy.
"Dad!" Wu Wanyi quickly pulled Chang Xing out of the kitchen.
"Wanyi, are you really back?" Wu Duming saw Wu Wanyi with his own eyes, and only then could he truly believe that his daughter was really back.
"Dad, he is Chang Xing." Wu Wanyi pulled Chang Xing to Wu Duming.
"Dad." Chang Xing called.
"Okay, okay, Chang Xing, come and sit down. Xucheng, go get your brother-in-law a cup of tea." Wu Duming ordered.
Boss Wu Xucheng reluctantly ran over and poured a cup of tea for Chang Xing.
Wu Duming was very concerned about the situation in the countryside and asked Chang Xing a lot about the countryside. Wu Duming and Chang Xing got along well with each other, and Weng and his son-in-law talked about many topics and were very speculative.
Wu Xucheng had never said as many words to Wu Duming as Chang Xing did.
Wu Wanyi finally showed a knowing smile when she saw the husband-in-law talking happily. She had always been worried that her family would reject Chang Xing. Now it seemed that her worries were unnecessary.
When the mother and daughter were together, Shen Zhuru finally said everything without reservation.
"Actually, your father's behavior in the research institute has a lot to do with his own temper. When the experts from the Soviet Union came here in the past, he said in the unit that the experts from the Soviet Union might not be reliable. At that time, he offended several people who were hostile to the Soviet Union. A leader that Chinese experts attached great importance to. Later, the Soviet Union withdrew its experts and took away the results jointly developed by the institute and Soviet experts. At that time, everyone was saying that there were no good people in the Soviet Union. Your father also said, Su In fact, Chinese experts are not all bad people. What your father said is the truth. After the experts from the Soviet Union came, they did solve many production problems. But what your father said was very inappropriate." Shen Zhuru said with a bitter smile.
"My dad has this kind of character. He never tells lies." Wu Wanyi was not surprised.
"I know he has this character, but there are some things that should be said and some things that should not be said. The score is clear! If your father hadn't made a lot of contributions to the institute, some of the research projects of the institute would still be inseparable from your father. It's just I'm afraid the consequences will be more serious." Shen Zhuru still has lingering fears.
The conversation between Chang Xing and Wu Duming moved from the coffee table to the dining table, and a jar of monkey wine brought by Chang Xing was also placed on the table.
"This is the monkey wine I got from the mountains. It's wine made by real monkeys. Dad, try it. It tastes pretty good." Chang Xing said.
Wu Xucheng said disdainfully: "In the past, when my dad was a senior researcher at the institute, my family would drink Maotai liquor during the holidays. That's delicious, the national liquor. I don't know if the wine made by a monkey like you is clean."
.”
"Don't drink it if it's not clean. Do you know how monkeys make wine?" Wu Wanyi said dissatisfied.
"If you don't drink it, don't drink it. Monkeys making wine must be a lie. Even if monkeys really make wine, the wine must be unhygienic. Maybe there is monkey urine in it." Wu Xucheng said.
"What do you know? Monkeys make wine because monkeys like to store food and stuff many fruits into tree holes. These wild fruits ferment in tree holes and become wine. Because monkeys hide all kinds of wild fruits in tree holes.
Tree holes, the wine fermented in this way has a very good natural taste. Moreover, the fermentation time of monkey wine is very long, and the various flavor substances in the wild fruits are completely integrated into the wine. The longer it is left, the stronger the aroma of the wine will be." Wu Duming
I still know something about Monkey Wine.
"Dad, do you also know about monkey wine?" Chang Xing was very surprised. Wu Duming summarized the brewing process of monkey wine pretty much.
"I used to go to the mountains with my colleagues and heard from people in the mountains. This kind of monkey wine is very rare. How did you get it?" Wu Duming asked.
"I found it accidentally in the mountains. There are several big jars. When I got married, I drank a lot, and this is the only jar left." Chang Xing said.
"Don't be afraid of having too little of a good thing." Wu Duming said with a smile.
Wu Duming carefully picked up the cup, took a sip, then put the cup down and extended his thumb: "It tastes good! Moutai can't compare with this."
"I have never drunk Maotai." Chang Xing said.
"Anyway, this wine is the best." Wu Duming said.
"Dad, what's so good about this wine?" Wu Xucheng didn't believe it.
"What do you know? When it comes to preciousness, this monkey wine is much more precious than Maotai. Moutai can be bought in department stores. You may not come across this monkey wine in your lifetime," Wu Duming said.
"Then let me have a try." Wu Xucheng was about to reach out for the wine, but before his hand could reach it, Wu Wanyi had already opened the wine.
"What kind of wine are you drinking? If you don't know how to drink, don't waste it. In your mind, Maotai is the best. Go ahead and drink your Maotai."
Chang Xing smiled and said: "Wanyi, just give him a taste. Even if he goes to Xianji Bridge in the future, he may not be able to drink monkey wine."
"Okay, your brother-in-law has spoken. Let me give you a little taste, otherwise you will never smell it." Wu Wanyi said.
Wu Xucheng smiled awkwardly and took the half glass of wine that Wu Wanyi poured for him. The main reason is that the smell of monkey wine is so good, otherwise he would not be interested in it. But the smell of this wine is so tempting and mellow.
Long.
Taking the glass of wine, Wu Xucheng looked at less than half of the wine in the glass and was very dissatisfied: "Isn't this too little?"
"Try it first, don't waste it. You don't care about it, but dad does." Wu Wanyi said.
Wu Xucheng reluctantly admitted it, picked up the cup and took a sip. The delicious taste of the wine was like an explosion in his mouth, filling Wu Xucheng's mouth with the aroma of wine.
"Hey, it's really delicious. Sister, give me some more." Wu Xucheng held the cup and handed it over.
"Does it taste good?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"It tastes good." Wu Xucheng nodded repeatedly.
"Just now you only said to taste it, but now you have tasted it. Anyway, you have also drank monkey wine. I will leave the rest for dad to drink slowly in the future. If you want to drink it, go to Xianji Bridge Brigade, let's see if your brother-in-law can still be found." Wu Wanyi said.
"What if I can't find it?" Wu Xucheng asked worriedly.
"Then you'll be in trouble." Wu Wanyi said with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, you have to take care of my sister. She is already married and she is still bullying me." Wu Xucheng said.
"I can't help it, Xucheng. At home, your sister is in charge of me. I just listen to whatever she says." Chang Xing said with a smile.
"That's a good saying. At home, you have to listen to your wife. Come on, son-in-law, cheers!" Wu Duming laughed and clinked glasses with Chang Xing.
Wu Xucheng looked at these two henpecked people with great disdain and said, "I really admire you two! Being henpecked seems to be very honorable."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, his head became swollen. Shen Zhuru hit Wu Xucheng on the head hard: "What? Your father is afraid of his wife, do you have any objections?"
"No, no, I don't have any objection. I think it's better to be henpecked. I'll learn from my dad and my brother-in-law." After Wu Xucheng finished speaking, he was hit on the head again.
"Did I make a mistake again?" Wu Xucheng rubbed his head.
Wu Wanyi giggled: "Silly brother, how can you be afraid of your wife? If you are afraid of your wife, won't your parents have a hard time in the future?"
"How long will you stay at home?" Shen Zhuru asked while eating.
"Mom, we just came back, aren't you going to drive us back? Is it possible that there is no rice at home for cooking?" Wu Wanyi said dissatisfied.
"You damn girl, is that what I mean? I want you to spend the New Year here and then go back. You haven't come back for so many years, and we didn't even attend the wedding. If you come back now, I don't know how long it will take to come back. ." Shen Zhuru couldn't help but burst into tears as she spoke.
Wu Wanyi said quickly: "Mom, I also want to stay at home for a few more days. But Master is alone at home, and he is eighty or ninety years old. How can we feel at ease when we celebrate the New Year here?"
"But our family hasn't celebrated the New Year together for so many years. It's rare that you come back and just celebrate the New Year before leaving. Is that okay? Chang Xing, please tell me." Shen Zhuru looked at Chang Xing pleadingly.
often I’ll go back after celebrating the New Year here.”
"Look, Chang Xing agreed. Your daughter was born in vain and you don't know the mother's difficulties at all." Shen Zhuru immediately became overjoyed.
