As the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law must always meet her parents-in-law.
Chen Zhiguo and He Yuyu have been getting along for some time.
I have never seen the face of my future father-in-law, He Daqing, but I have always seen the face of my future uncle, Shazhu.
Since he wanted to confirm his marriage to He Yuyu, this elder brother-in-law had to meet him formally.
When Sha Zhu was arrested before, Chen Zhiguo and this bastard uncle almost had a fight.
But Silly Zhu is a person who cares about face. He thought that being scolded by his future brother-in-law would be a great shame in his outlook on life.
Silly Zhu felt that his brother-in-law should treat him like Xu Damao treated Lin Zhen.
Instead of dragging him down like 25,000 to 80,000 yuan, he should teach himself a lesson as a film police officer.
But since he was arrested and sent to jail, Chen Zhiguo has not visited him once.
After he came out, he didn't take the blame, but now he was preparing to come over on New Year's Eve. Silly Zhu said he didn't want to see him at all, and even wanted to kick Chen Zhiguo out of the house.
Hearing what Qin Huairu said, Shazhu said angrily: "When I was in the detention center, it was understandable that he didn't visit me, but I've been out for two months, why did that kid only think of visiting me now?"
Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Stop being so childish. We've mentioned the rain several times. It's you who doesn't let people come, and you even say you'll beat them away when they come!"
"I said?"
"Hmph! What were you talking about on Laba Day? Have you forgotten?"
Silly Zhu was speechless for a moment, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Qin Huairu said: "This is the New Year's Eve, so I came here with all my heart. Don't be stupid. If you don't entertain me, it's your fault. You don't want your sister anymore, and I still want it!"
Silly Zhu smiled disdainfully and said: "Hey! Your relationship with Yuyu during this period is closer than mine!"
"That means I am her natal sister-in-law, and she is my sister-in-law. If your father doesn't come back from Baocheng, of course I will have to arrange for her marriage!"
"Okay, okay, I'm going to prepare the dishes right now, and set a formal table for him, which can be regarded as an engagement banquet."
"It's not enough to just set up a table. When your future uncle comes to visit you, you have to find someone to accompany you at the wine table. You are the only man in our family, so we can't just drink with you two at the table, right?"
The old rules are very particular when a new guest comes to meet the girl's parents for the first time.
In rural areas in the north, if an unmarried person goes to his future father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings, there must be a person who carries a basket to hold back the wine.
The father-in-law's family has to entertain guests in a proper manner and find a neighbor to keep him company.
In the first year after the marriage, the uncle officially takes his daughter-in-law back to her parents' home, and the seat at the banquet table must be given to the new uncle as a sign of respect.
Only when you respect your son-in-law and treat him as half a son can you rest assured that your daughter will not be mistreated by her husband's family.
Such a mother-in-law is a person who cares for her daughter in a sensible way.
If he tries to create problems for the new brother-in-law and makes it impossible for the new guests to come to the stage, it will make his parents' family appear to be powerful, but it will make his own daughter miserable.
After the daughter and son-in-law come home, they will definitely not live happily, and they are guaranteed to have a quarrel.
This kind of mother-in-law is an ignorant person.
Silly Zhu doesn't like Chen Zhiguo, but it's his first time here, so there's really no need to embarrass him.
After all, my younger sister helped me maintain the relationship between Yuhua and Feibiao mother and son during this period.
He often carries Fei Biao to his home. Based on this alone, Sha Zhu doesn't want to cheat his sister.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, but I don't want to invite him because of his age. The only young man in the courtyard I can get along with is Lin Zhen. Even if Xu Damao is my brother-in-law, even if he doesn't go back to my parents' house, I won't.
We can’t invite him here, and Liu Guangtian is even less worthy.”
Qin Huairu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I know you despise Yan Jiecheng and Liu Jianguo, you hate Liu Gen'er and Liang Zi, and the only person you really admire is Lin Zhen. It happened that I fainted last time, and you asked him to
I haven’t had a drink yet, so go and invite him this time.”
"Okay, if he's suitable, I'll go right away."
Lin Zhen was preparing New Year's Eve dinner with Lou Xiao'e in the kitchen, while several children went to the alley to set off firecrackers.
Looking up, Shazhu walked to the door with a smile.
"Lin Zhen, happy New Year, I wish you a happy New Year."
Lou Xiao'e burst out laughing. Lin Zhen frowned and couldn't help laughing: "Silly Zhu, are you okay? You are one year older than me, and you are an elder brother. How can you wish me a New Year's greeting without making a fool of yourself.
"
Silly Zhu chuckled and said: "Hey, why do you have to pay so much attention? Are you free at night?"
"What's up?"
"Let's drink together."
"No! I don't have time, and I won't drink with you if I have time! I've taken note of it, but you can't drink wine well."
Silly Zhu chuckled: "Just do me a favor, the younger generation in the courtyard, I am willing to ask you."
Lin Zhen smiled helplessly and said: "Then I'm really flattered. Forget it, I don't have time. How can I help you by drinking with you? It's true."
"Oh, I can't help it. Qin Huairu asked me to invite a guest. After much deliberation, I can only invite you. Yu Yu's partner came to see me officially in the evening. As Yu Yu's mother-in-law, I can't let him go.
Road, right?"
Lin Zhen suddenly smiled and said: "So it's Chen Zhiguo who is coming? Hey! You said that you stupid Zhu is so slow to do everything, and you are far worse than Xu Damao. Didn't I agree if you told me earlier? Chen Zhiguo is mine
Good brother, it’s his first official visit to my wife’s house to meet her parents, so of course I’m willing to help receive him.”
"Ah? When did you become brothers with that boy Chen Zhiguo?"
Lin Zhen smiled and said: "Isn't it time to finish drinking tonight?"
"Yes! I've made it possible for you two. Thank you. Don't forget to come. I won't take you too long."
After Silly Zhu left, Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Master, your diary was written down in vain. Aren't you still drinking with Silly Zhu?"
Lin Zhen shook his head helplessly and said: "This is like being in a world where you can't help yourself. Sometimes you can't be so stubborn. You're as motionless as a stone sculpture, and you can't deal with interpersonal relationships."
Lin Zhen had long wanted to find a chance to get to know Director Zhang and the others.
I have always had a good impression of Chen Zhiguo. This young man is about the same age as Liu Guangtian.
He is an upright person, but a little too upright, and he never shows mercy to ruffians.
Therefore, he and Silly Zhu dislike each other.
This time, I really had no choice but to bite the bullet and come here.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Zhiguo rode a bicycle and came to the courtyard with two large bags of gifts.
Most of the neighbors in the courtyard know him.
As soon as he entered the door, the third uncle Yan Bugui smiled and said: "Hey! When it comes to governing the country, do you want to handle cases or visit relatives?"
Chen Zhiguo smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. San, I am just a commoner after get off work. Don't tease me. I'm here to visit relatives."
The third aunt smiled and said: "You didn't bring someone to stop the wine? Silly Zhu invited a wine god, the kind who can drink ten pounds and not get drunk. You will be drunk today!"
Chen Zhiguo chuckled, "Aunt Three is teasing me again. How can you not get drunk after drinking ten pounds? Let's stop chatting. I'll hurry over."
When I arrived at the middle courtyard, I saw that it was Shazhu and Lin Zhen who came out to greet them.
Chen Zhiguo's heart skipped a beat.
I thought to myself, this uncle is really going to get me drunk, why did he invite the forest worker who is famous for being intoxicated?
