Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1081 Meeting the In-Laws (End)
The two then started drinking. Although Jiang Yan didn't like Maotai very much, he was happy today and drank it all in one gulp. He really couldn't handle this sauce-flavored wine and couldn't help but frowning.

“Is it delicious? Does it taste better than Erguotou?”

Bai Wensong's words made Jiang Yan speechless. He felt that this person was really so annoying, and his hands were a little itchy.

"It's OK! That's how liquor tastes in my mouth."

"Brother, come and try these. These are the signature dishes here. They were developed in recent years and are unique here. Especially the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which was heavily developed and is different from the usual ones."

"Oh, really? I'd really like to taste it." Cheng Mingde said.

But at this time, Bai Wensong interrupted.

"Old Jiang, don't you feel any nobility from drinking this?"

"No, Lao Bai, what do you mean today? Are you going to ruin the place?" The good-tempered Cheng Mingde was not happy and questioned directly.

"It's nothing special. I just wanted to ask how this good wine tastes. There's nothing else to it."

"I think your brother-in-law looks down on me as your relative! He feels that we are all country bumpkins, right?" Jiang Yan looked at him with a smile.

"No, I just feel that this wine can't be so expensive." Bai Wensong said.

"I've told you, all liquor tastes the same to me, no matter whether I like it or not. I usually try not to drink if I can. Besides, I don't want to drink now and no one can force me to drink." Jiang Yan was a little angry and didn't give him any face.

"Is there any direct difference between being rich or poor? Ordinary people have their own way of drinking."

"Ordinary people have their own way of drinking. What they drink is, at best, liquor like Sanbai. Those high-end liquors are still drunk by others. Liquor is divided into different grades."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan was happy. He finally understood how Bai Songwen looked today. He must have been a very active person before.

This person is just too self-righteous. He was dissatisfied with the country from the beginning, and he couldn't hide his faults, so he was punished. Now he is active again. After all, the reform has been carried out, and he thinks he is right.

"Is it interesting to talk about superiority and inferiority here?" Jiang Yan asked again.

"Why is it boring?" Bai Wensong asked.

"It seems that you are one of the ones who have not been reformed." Jiang Yan said directly.

In fact, they were not arguing about whether Moutai was expensive or not. Bai Wensong thought that although they were clearly saying that everyone was equal, they had to make someone special. Was he wrong before? Was his suffering in vain? Bai Wensong was such a handsome man!
If it weren't for his father's protection, he would have been thrown into the cowshed long ago. He just stayed in the countryside for a few years. He felt very uncomfortable. He didn't think about those days at all.

"It's not our fault that we have to go to the countryside. They just have prejudice and opinions against us." Bai Songwen jumped up when he heard Jiang Yan say that, and stood up and spoke loudly.

"Ambition does not depend on age, and reason does not depend on the volume of the voice. But you can't explain this to me, and I can't get angry about this."

"I was born an orphan and was adopted by my master when I was young. Later, I came to the old city and was adopted by my grandmother. Then I joined the party, went abroad to study, and started working."

"My background and history are quite clean. From the time I returned to China from the Russians until I resigned and started my own business, I have walked steadily for decades without any disturbances. As for me, I am quite satisfied with my work."

"Maybe it's because I have a high status! The people around me are basically people who have been hanging around in Forty-Nine City. Now basically they are doing pretty well and are also top figures in Forty-Nine City."

"So, if you are not satisfied, don't tell me. Anyway, I am very satisfied with my life." After saying this, Jiang Yan raised his glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and smacked his lips.

"As for this Moutai, to be honest, many people gave it to me, but I refused it. Don't be picky, I just can't get used to the taste. I've always either drunk Erguotou or Fenjiu, but I just can't get used to this sauce-flavored liquor. But now that I'm older, I still like to drink some rice wine."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Let's switch to rice wine. I want to drink some of this wine, too."

"Your talk is all fallacy, unfair, absolutely unfair, just like this wine." Bai Songwen said. "You didn't shout for fairness before liberation?" Jiang Yan didn't give him face at all and spoke directly.

"Why did you shout after liberation?" Or did you feel indignant because your own interests were damaged? But now most people are benefiting, so who do you think you are?"

"What is fairness? I feel that fairness for the majority is the real fairness."

"That's different. Is there absolute fairness in this world?" Bai Wensong continued.

"Yes! It depends on how you look at it. I think it's fair."

"So you have to look forward! Only when the country is doing well can we do well. Don't you think this is true, brother?"

"Yes, the country is good only when it is good. Come on, let's drink this. He just said that this is a twenty-year-old girl's red wine." Guo Mingde came back with the wine and filled Jiang Yan's glass again.
"Come……"

The two clinked glasses, drank another glass, and then quickly asked everyone to eat.

"Okay, it's over, let's try this dish, the cooking is amazing!"

In this way, a period of twists and turns was over. Bai Wensong curled his lips and said nothing more. However, he was still a little indignant in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Bai Yang was having a good time at another table, but was glared at several times by his sister-in-law.

"You are such a bad guy! You feel good just watching your brother make a fool of himself like this."

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't care, but my brother has suffered a lot from his mouth, and someone needs to teach him a lesson."

The atmosphere then became better. The meal lasted quite a long time, but not much wine was drunk. After all, among the group, Jiang Yan was the youngest.

……

When they returned to the hotel at night, Jiang Sirui used hot water to get him a towel and said, "You drank so much!"

"Not much, no one is drunk!" Jiang Yan smiled, "But this family of in-laws is quite interesting."

"Why are you still arguing with him? He's his uncle. What do you want Zimo to do in the future?"

"It's alright. Let's go, it's his business from now on."

"By the way, the car shop in Qingdao called and said they have found a house. Let's go take a look tomorrow. I'll make a call first."

Jiang Yan picked up the hotel's phone and dialed the number. He called the sales manager of Qingdao Mercedes-Benz.

"I'm in Qingdao now. My son works here. Do you have any cars in stock in the warehouse? If you do, please drive three to me tomorrow. If not, please temporarily transfer three cars from the branch office to me. I need them tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, no problem, I'll arrange it right away," the other party said.

"How's the house going?" Jiang Yan asked.

"It has been arranged. Tomorrow my secretary Xiao Liu will bring the salesperson they have found to find you and take you to see the house." The other end continued.

"Okay then! Let's set off on time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Jiang Yan said and hung up the phone.
