After a busy afternoon, Yang Ma and the others prepared a large table of dishes. Together with Mr. Xuan and Yang Dongxu's father-in-law, the large family filled the large round table in the restaurant.
"Come on, come on, first wish the old man good health, let's get a glass." As soon as the wine was poured out, Uncle Shengli couldn't control the greed in his stomach and immediately picked up the glass.
The special wine Yang Dongxu brought back was all vintage wine brewed by pure grains. The wines sold on the market now are all wines blended with alcohol. They seem to taste good, but if you let them sit for a while, they won’t become old wines.
Because the wine blended with alcohol needs to be drunk in time. Not only will the taste deteriorate if you let it go, it may even expire for you.
The wine brewed from pure grains is different. As long as the wine is properly sealed, it will become more and more fragrant as it is put in. It doesn’t taste overwhelming at all in your mouth, not to mention how beautiful it is.
"Slow down, it's like you've never had a drink." Seeing his uncle pick up the wine glass and others take a sip, he felt bored and quickly went to pour a second glass, but his aunt gave him an angry tug.
These are all members of the family, so they can say whatever they want without paying any attention to face. Otherwise, if this is a meal out, although I don't like the appearance of my husband as an alcoholic, I still have to save the face that should be put in place.
My aunt controls my uncle Shengli so strictly. Why do Yang Dongxu’s grandparents, as well as Father Yang and his father Yang, who are the eldest brother and sister-in-law, still support her without saying anything?
One is naturally because my uncle Shengli is too messy and needs someone to take care of him, and the second is naturally because my aunt is a sensible person and knows when to slap someone in the face and when to save her face.
For example, now, when a large family sits together, there must be something to say, otherwise the whole family will be divided if they hide it and pretend to be there.
"Yes, uncle, please drink it slowly. This wine is old wine. Although it is pure grain brewing, if you drink too much, you will not have a headache the next day.
If you drink so hard, if you get drunk after a while, you will go straight back to the house and sleep without having more than a few drinks. "Zhou Ya also said beside him with a smile.
While talking, he was picking up vegetables with Mr. Xuan and his grandparents.
"Then slow down, slow down." The uncle smiled a little sheepishly, but he kept pouring the wine in his hand.
When he saw his aunt just rolled her eyes, she almost raised her hand to hit him with chopsticks.
"Jiejie, you come to be the wine commander. I'll pour wine for grandpa and your eldest father later." Yang Dongxu reached out and took the bottle that his uncle had just filled with wine and placed it in front of Jiejie.
"I'll come, I'll come. Let's drink together later. I'll pour it for you. Dad, don't drink secretly." Jiejie covered the bottle and put it on the other side of him to prevent his father from stealing it.
"You bastard, what are you talking about?" Uncle Shengli glared at his son angrily.
"Okay, it's not like I won't let you drink. Don't drink so hard. Just like Zhou Ya said, be careful if you drink too hard. When the alcohol gets stronger, you can just fall asleep.
There's enough wine for today, so you can drink. When you leave, ask Asahi to get you two more boxes. "Dad Yang couldn't help but said, "Come on, come on, use your chopsticks to eat and don't be idle. "
"Yeah, yeah, drink slowly, drink slowly." Uncle Shengli nodded repeatedly, but he still took a sip of the wine first, and then picked up the food with chopsticks. The wine was so fragrant that he couldn't help it.
The aunt glared at him angrily, but she still stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for him and put it in the bowl. The greasy and sweet food can relieve hangovers and protect the stomach a little.
Some of the vegetables that are easy to chew are placed on the side of the old people, and the remaining bones and vegetables that are not easy to chew are placed on the side of the young people.
Jie Jie and Wen Chen each held a pig's trotter and gnawed it. Yang Dongxu couldn't help but pick one for himself. This thing had been stewed for a whole afternoon and was soft and glutinous. It was very delicious.
The old man didn't have a good appetite, so he ate something and got off the table. He went to the living room where the heating was fully turned on to make tea to help relieve the greasiness. At the same time, he talked about the difficult years of their age.
The conversation was very speculative. After all, even Mr. Xuan was a man who had gone through great hardships, so he sympathized with the difficulties of state-owned enterprises.
The young man with a good appetite at the table continued to eat and stuff. Father Yang and his uncle were doing boxing, and Yang Dongxu occasionally participated in the helping scene.
Jiejie also took Xiao Wenchen to fistfight, but instead of drinking, the two of them were betting on the last pig's trotter in the casserole. However, it was not who won the pig's trotter, but who lost and chewed up the pig's trotter.
The most indispensable thing at the end of the year is delicious food. Their two children have been chewing from morning to night, so the loser is chewing a pig's trotter, which will definitely last him, but it is also more interesting this way.
Seeing that his son lost to Wen Chen, he gnawed a pig's trotter with a nonchalant expression, then took little Wen Chen to wash his hands, said hello and ran outside.
This was obviously the end of the appointment with my friend, and there was more than a little sadness on my aunt's face.
"Look, look at how old I am. I know how to play. I don't care about my grades at all. I got less than 400 points in the final exam. I am not in a hurry. I just know how to play every day without reading any books. .”
"I think Jiejie is quite smart. He may be obsessed with reading, but he is smart in other aspects, so he will definitely have no worries about food and clothing in the future. You are always stuck and insist on him studying." Yang Ma said.
This means that I am sure that my aunt has basically given up her obsession with studying for her son before she dares to say it. Otherwise, it will be like what happened a few years ago. Whenever she talks about this matter, she always feels that the Yang family looks down on her, and she My son Jiejie has no future prospects.
"What can he do if he doesn't go to school? He will only be eighteen after graduating from high school next year. What can he do at the age of eighteen? He can't go out to work, right?" The aunt's face was full of sorrow.
Then he raised his foot and kicked his husband. This man was really heartless and never asked how his son was doing in school.
He often opposed her and secretly took Jiejie, who was being kept at home to study, out to catch fishermen. She was so angry that she chased the two of them away with a stick.
"Why don't you send him to join the army? There's no point in going to a junior college or a technical school. Jiejie graduated from high school after all, so he was sent directly to the army to serve as a soldier for two years.
Although the diploma will be stuck when lifting the stem, the basic lifting is not that difficult for the diploma. It would be a good idea to mention the basic military rank in the military in a few years. When the time comes, it would be a good idea to change careers and directly join a government unit. Yang Dongxu said.
Yang Dongxu's words made my aunt's eyes light up, but then she frowned, "Being a soldier is a good place to be, but can he be able to sit in an office with his personality?
After joining the army and changing careers, you basically join the public security system, right? With his temperament, he definitely doesn't want to sit in an office and prefers to rush to the front line. "
Although the pattern is a bit small, as parents who are on the front line of hedging, their son must be worried and may even persuade him to change his career to something else. This is all human nature.
"Then let him join Sanwan Travel Agency first. I know the manager of Sanwan Travel Agency. I will arrange for him to join Jiejie after he graduates during the summer vacation.
Jiejie's personality and mouth are very suitable for sales or tour guides. We don’t ask him how much money he can earn in a travel agency.
The main thing is to let him exercise, get in touch with more people and learn about the ways of the world. After two years, when he reaches his twenties and his personality becomes calmer, we will have a shop no matter in the county or in the city. We may find some business for him, or open a shopping mall. Zhou Ya also said.
"This is good." The aunt nodded repeatedly.
The B&B office of Sanwan Travel Agency here is in Wuli Town. It only takes half an hour to ride a small electric donkey back and forth.
Compared to joining the army and not being able to see your son even once for a year, it is definitely more reassuring to do things under your nose.
Just like Zhou Ya said, it doesn't matter how much money Jiejie can make at the travel agency. The main thing is to exercise and accumulate some social experience.
When he was twenty years old, he would find a matchmaker to find a daughter-in-law. No matter what kind of business his son and daughter-in-law wanted to do, they would have shops in the county and the city, and they would not be hungry even if they collected rent.
"Which travel company should I go to? In my opinion, just go to Xiaowu's trucking company. After graduating next year, let that kid directly take the driver's license test for a large truck.
Then go directly to work at Xiaowu's trucking company, the salary is whatever you want. The main purpose is to train people as a big truck driver, so that I can temper that boy's overly aggressive temperament. "
"It's so dangerous to drive a big car." The aunt immediately refused.
This is the difference between being a father and being a mother. Although my brother-in-law is usually a bit unreliable as a father, he is definitely just right when it comes to training his son, and he just throws it into a difficult place like a truck driver.
As a former truck driver, my uncle Shengli knows how tired a truck driver is. If his son can survive for a year and a half, he will definitely have a stable temperament.
Moreover, driving a big car all over the country has no less experience than being an employee of a travel company, and the big car drivers are all talented people. It can really sharpen their skills, which will be very helpful to my son in the future.
The aunt's thoughts are different. Although she wants to train her son, she is still afraid that her son will suffer. Otherwise, becoming a soldier is actually a very good option.
"Is there any danger? It's not like there used to be robbers on the way, and if you throw them into Xiao Wu's company, they will definitely be given familiar routes. They will be familiar with people along the way. What could happen? ?
Besides, we can't let him run long distances in the beginning. We can just run to a few nearby cities. He can go there on the same day and return the same day, or go back the same day and return the next day. What can happen if he only goes back and forth for a day or two?
Look at the people in Xiaowu, their academic qualifications are not as good as our son's? But now, whether he is doing business in Shiliba Village or in the county, he is considered to be the number one person. Why? It’s not something that’s been tempered bit by bit.
Just do what I say and it will definitely be right. In two years at most, this guy's character will definitely be stable. Then he will choose a wife for him to get married, and make arrangements for whatever he wants to do later - work together! "
I have to say that my uncle’s idea is really good. Today’s truck drivers are really tempered, because in addition to driving and pulling goods, sometimes they also have to help with loading and unloading, and even work with them from time to time. The owner of the goods and the buyer are arguing with each other.
Being able to smooth out all these relationships and reduce conflicts is definitely a talent.
"What a waste of life. Even if Jiejie is farming at home, he doesn't work as a truck driver. He is so tired every day that he stinks and is as dry as charcoal."
After my aunt got married, my uncle still drove a large truck for a few years. My aunt had been driving a truck for a while. She knew very well how difficult this industry was and was determined not to let her son endure such hardship.
"You bitch, you have long hair and short knowledge, you..."
"Yang Rufei, what did you say?" Seeing that my uncle had obviously drunk too much and started to talk nonsense, my aunt stood up directly.
The uncle immediately shut up. The discipline he had received over the years was still very effective. Although he was a little drunk at the moment, he could instinctively shut up when he heard his wife's shouts.
