Overall, this dinner at the Ni family was quite harmonious.
Except for Ni Chen, who didn't smile at all during the whole process, everyone else was quite enthusiastic towards Chu Heng.
Especially the fourth child, Ni Zhen, who was called brother-in-law when they met, and was very close to him.
Since it was a family dinner, and Ni Chen didn't pay much attention to Chu Heng, and Ni's father's drinking capacity was not very good, everyone didn't drink much, and the banquet ended around six o'clock.
Then the family changed the battlefield and gathered in Ni's father's room to drink tea and chat.
After Chu Heng chatted honestly with his future father-in-law and mother-in-law for a while, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a pile of books under their bed, and immediately saw him bending down and pulling out a high school algebra textbook from it with a face filled with surprise.
His expression was even happier than when he saw Tiger Pencil Wine.
After flipping through the book a few times, he saw that it was still in good condition. He smiled brightly and asked Father Ni next to him: "Uncle Ni, whose book does this belong to?"
Ni's father, who was a little drunk, looked at it with half-squinted eyes and said with a smile: "That was Yinghong's textbook when she was in high school."
"Can you give me this?" Chu Heng asked quickly.
"We are all a family. If you want anything you can do, just take it." Father Ni glared at him with feigned anger: "You kid is so out of touch."
"Then I won't be polite."
Chu Heng happily held the book in his hand, and then chatted with Ni's mother about the pregnancy of the widow of the Zhao family in the east of the city.
They chatted until nearly half past six before he stood up and left.
Guo Kai is still having a party. If he doesn't go, his grandson will scold his mother.
Mother Ni smacked her lips with unfinished thoughts. Although there was no further progress, she did not force him to stay. She happily led her family to the gate and sent him to the gate.
"There's no need to send it off uncle, auntie, I'll come back another day."
In Miss Ni's reluctant eyes, Chu Heng turned around, got into the car and drove away.
The nights are getting darker and the temperature is getting lower.
A strong wind suddenly blew up in Sijiu City, rolling up the snow foam that had not yet melted on the ground and sending it straight into people's necks.
"What's Po Tian? He was fine just now."
Chu Heng cursed and tightened his collar, pedaled his bicycle hard with his head lowered, and rushed toward Donglaishun in the wind and snow.
By the time he arrived at the place, it was already past six-fifty, long past the agreed time.
First, he found a nearby car storage place and paid to store the car. Chu Heng ran into the hotel shivering.
As soon as he walked in, he smelled the faint smell of mutton in the air, which was also mixed with the smell of sesame sauce, chive flowers, fermented bean curd and other condiments.
It makes people excited.
Chu Heng, who was not full, stopped talking and walked around the door, and soon found Guo Kai and others sitting in the southeast corner.
Except for the high-ranking old company commander who didn't come, He Zishi and Hu Zhengwen both arrived, and Guo Xia also sat aside.
He hurriedly walked over and said to the people with apologetic expressions: "Sorry, brothers, I was delayed for a while at my father-in-law's house!"
"If you don't come here, you idiot, we'll leave."
Guo Kai rolled his eyes at him, pointed to the empty seat opposite, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hurry up and sit down, there are a lot of people waiting for you, Yapu is big enough..."
"I will punish myself with three drinks." Chu Heng pulled out the stool and sat down. Without saying a word, he took the Erguotou on the table and poured himself wine. He drank three drinks in a row, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was quite sincere.
"He's still a man." Guo Kai nodded with satisfaction.
"Chat with my mother-in-law for a while, or else I would have been here early." Chu Heng smiled and brought the small bowl with the ingredients, mixed the sesame paste and other ingredients inside with chopsticks, and poured it out of the hot copper pot with water splashing. I picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and stuffed it into my mouth.
Bashi!
After he swallowed the meat into his stomach, Guo Kai picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, I want to toast you. Thank you for arranging the work for my Guo Xia."
"You drink so much, do you think this idiot is interesting?" Chu Heng rolled his eyes at him, picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp, without any ambiguity.
I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to drinking, I have never been drunk by anyone!
As soon as Guo Kai saw this posture, he also took a sip of wine, and then quickly took a small piece of tofu from the copper pot to suppress the smell of alcohol. He glanced at the person who drank four cups in a row and his expression remained unchanged. A heartfelt thumbs up: "Aquaman is Aquaman."
"That's right, otherwise you think it's in vain?" Chu Heng refilled his glass with pride.
After he had eaten a few more mouthfuls of food, Guo Xia picked up the wine glass at the instruction of his elder brother and said with a squeak: "Um...Brother Hengzi, thank you for finding me this job. From now on...I won't bother you anymore. "
"There's no need for this. Just based on my relationship with your brother, I should take care of you." Chu Heng touched him funny.
It's not easy for a silly boy to say such kind words.
The group of people just ate and drank until about eight o'clock.
Guo Kai was still as greedy as ever. He drank more than two kilograms of wine and was unconscious when he left. He was carried back by Guo Xia.
Chu Heng was fine. Although he had more than two kilograms of wine, most of it was poured into the warehouse.
This shameless guy said goodbye to the others and quickly fled away on his bicycle.
After arriving home, he quickly washed up and got into bed to rest. He had to go see Ergou in the middle of the night.
Because he drank, he fell asleep very quickly. After a few minutes of preparation, he lay on the carved canopy bed and fell asleep.
Snoring like thunder.
Miss Ni on the other side had insomnia at this time.
She held the handkerchief and gently touched the writing on it. Her mind was full of that man who was sometimes domineering, sometimes arrogant, and sometimes gentle.
Has he gone home? Did he sleep? Was he drunk? Will he fall to the ground and freeze to death outside without anyone caring...
After thinking wildly for a long time, the girl clenched her handkerchief and fell asleep.
The wind outside became stronger, and it roared like an evil spirit roaring.
When the eleven o'clock bell rang, Chu Heng opened his eyes, smoked a cigarette to refresh himself, then put on his clothes and hurried out of the house.
Because of the wind, it was extremely cold today. Even if he wore an extra cotton-padded jacket, he was still being blown through from head to toe.
By the time he arrived at Pigeon Market, he was almost like a popsicle.
Ergou had arrived at this time, and he came by himself. Chu Heng glanced at the trembling lonely figure from a distance, quickly took out a scarf and wrapped it around his head and face. After patrolling the area as usual, he showed up and said: Signal.
Ergou, who saw the signal, hurriedly ran to him and said tremblingly: "Brother, I have to make you make a trip this day. It's a shame."
Chu Heng sniffed hard, hugged his arms and asked, "Hurry up and tell me how much you want."
"Rice is the same as white flour at 500 jins, stick noodles at 3000 jins, and oil at 200 jins." Ergou said quickly.
"Get the money ready. See you at this time tomorrow." Chu Heng nodded, wiped himself away and walked back. After turning a corner, he took out his bicycle and rode home in a hurry.
