Conquer the beautiful chairman

Zhang Wei has always believed that his large amount of alcohol is inherited from his mother's genes.

Dad added a few pieces of anthracite to the stove. The fire was burning. The stove and chimney radiated a lot of heat. The indoor atmosphere was warm and peaceful.

Four people sit around the eight immortals table. Dad sits on the table from south to north. This is called work. It's the natural position of parents. Mom sits in the second place. On the right side of dad, Chen Yao is next. On the left side of dad, Zhang Wei, the lowest working people, faces dad face to face.

The dishes are very rich. Many of them are mountain specialties, such as mushroom chicken, rabbit stewed with radish, fried turtledove, and several kinds of mountain wild vegetables that can't be named. They are all pure natural flavor, fragrant and appetizing.

The new year's Eve dinner starts at 7 p.m.

Dad sat on the job and took the wine cup: "his mother, today the baby is back, and our family is reunited again. Although Yaya didn't come back for the new year, we lost a daughter, but this year Xiao Chen came to our new year, it's our daughter. Xiao Chen is my baby's friend. It's our honor to come all the way from the south to spend the new year in my family, experience life, and live in my family. I won't say anything else for today's Spring Festival. Anyway, I welcome Xiao Chen to spend the new year in my family, and take care of the place where he doesn't care

Chen Yao holds the wine cup and looks at her father with big eyes.

"We don't drink this first drink." Dad holding the wine cup, slowly leaning down to the ground: "this first glass of wine, to the baby's dead grandparents, give them a new year, let them have a happy year in another world."

We all learn from dad and sprinkle the wine on the ground.

Dad suddenly turned his face and asked Chen Yao, "Xiao Chen, are all the old people in your family still alive?"

"Grandfather, grandmother and father have passed away, and mother is here." Chen Yao replied.

Dad nodded: "come on, girl, pour the wine."

Chen Yao took the thermos and filled it one by one.

Dad took up his glass: "we don't drink this second glass of wine. Let's pay respects to the old people in Xiao Chen's family. We'll give them a new year's greetings from the north and wish them peace of mind in another world. Although they are far away, they will certainly feel it. Come on

Chen Yao looked at her father gratefully: "thank you, uncle."

The second glass of wine was slowly sprinkled on the ground.

When he filled the third glass of wine, dad picked it up and looked at everyone, jubilant: "it's 30 years old today, and every family is reunited. Come on, let's have a reunion wine. This glass of wine has three meanings. This meaning means that the whole family is reunited and healthy; Second, welcome Xiao Chen to my home to experience life; The third meaning is that the baby has been out for these years, which means that he has run far and mixed well this year. Otherwise, the operation on my leg will not be completed, thanks to the 100000 yuan sent back by the baby. Soon after my leg operation, the doctor told me to drink less. I'm happy today. I'll make an exception to drink. Ha ha... Come on, do it

"Dry!" Let's drink together.

Mother looked at Chen Yao: "girl, if you can't drink, just sip a little, don't do it."

Chen Yao smiles: "Auntie, it's OK. It doesn't matter to drink a little."

Mother was busy and asked Chen Yao to eat food, saying: "Xiao Chen, when you come to our house, you should be your own home. Don't be restrained, don't stop chopsticks, don't talk about food, don't eat too much!"

Chen Yao couldn't understand so many dialects when her mother came out all at once, but she basically knew that it meant to let her eat more. She was busy smiling and nodding.

Zhang Wei stood up and handed the wine cups in front of his parents to them: "Mom and Dad, this year, I'd like to offer you a cup of wine. I wish you good health and good spirit!"

My parents drank happily.

Then Zhang Wei sat down.

This is a grand ceremony on the North wine table. When you serve wine to the elder, you should stand up and hold the glass with both hands to the elder. The elder will sit still, the younger will not drink, the elder will drink, and the younger will stand there. When the elder finishes drinking, he can sit down.

Chen Yao watched Zhang Wei's movements carefully. When Zhang Weijing finished drinking, she quickly poured wine for the elder. Then she stood up and served glasses to Zhang Wei's parents. In the soft Wu dialect of Shandong, she said, "uncle, aunt, I came to Shandong for the first time. I don't understand the customs of your place. I'll serve you a cup of wine like Zhang Wei. I wish you a happy new year My aunt is healthy and happy New Year

Chen Yao's poor Shandong dialect has a strong southern flavor. It sounds very funny. Zhang Wei's mouth is half open and looks at Chen Yao foolishly.

Dad and mom happily drank it all again, happily greeting Chen Yao: "sit down, girl, eat evil!"

Chen Yao and her parents put their glasses on the table before sitting down.

Zhang Wei looks at Chen Yao's behavior. She is so quick to learn, adaptable and careful. She used to feel that people in the South didn't understand Chinese customs, respect Confucius and Mencius, and treat people with courtesy. From time to time, she called the south little Nanman. It seems that from Chen Yao, she has to change this point of view.

The food made by his parents was delicious. Zhang Wei was very happy and asked Chen Yao, "how does it taste?"

"Well! Delicious Chen Yao is eating the food with a big mouth, full of praise: "the taste is very suitable for my taste, ha ha..."

"These are all pure green vegetables, ha... Wild vegetables and game, the purest farm food in the mountains!" Zhang said happily.

"This scorpion is delicious." Chen Yao said, pointing to the orange scorpion on the plate.

"Your uncle went to the mountain to catch them. They were all alive and fried now." Mother looked at Chen Yao with a smile and said happily, "Xiao Chen, eat more."

Dad picked up the glass and said to Chen Yao, "girl, come and bring a glass of wine to your mother and her family. Give them a new year's greetings and a toast!"

Chen Yao quickly stood up, holding her small wine cup in both hands, making her cup slightly lower than her father's, and clinking a glass with her father: "thank you, uncle!" Then take it. Sit down.

When Zhang Wei saw it, he could. Chen Yao also understood the etiquette and custom of toasting in the north. This kind of drinking custom is the way that the younger generation drinks to the elder or the lower level drinks to the higher level, which shows respect and respect for each other. If the average generation drinks like this, it shows great respect for each other. This is far from being true in the south. I don't want to talk about it at all. I just want to drink carelessly, whether you are the elder or the younger, whether you are the elder or the younger. This is one of the differences between North and South wine culture.

After the necessary etiquette procedures, everyone began to eat, drink and watch TV.

The Spring Festival Gala starts at 8 o'clock and will arrive soon.

Chen Yao picked up the jug and filled it for Zhang Wei and herself. Then she picked up the wine cup and looked at Zhang Wei with her eyes shining: "Zhang Wei, I'd like to offer you a glass of wine."

Chen Yao's expression is very solemn, not as funny as usual, and her eyes are a little different.

Zhang Wei was a little at a loss for a moment, so he picked up the cup.

Chen Yao's eyes continued to look at Zhang Wei: "I've known you for a long time. I feel your rapid progress and growth. The new year is coming. Congratulations on your past achievements and wish you prosperity in the future. Next year, you will achieve better and greater achievements. Here's to you. "

Zhang Wei quickly raised his glass: "OK, Chen Yao, thank you!"

They are guests, so they should lower their glasses. Zhang Weigang moves the glasses down and Chen Yao moves them down at the same time. They come and go together, and the last two glasses are on the table. They are even!

Zhang Wei looked at Chen Yao: "ha ha, respect each other, be equal, be polite!"

Chen Yao laughs and drinks up.

Mother looked at the couple's mutual respect, heart happy bloom, stand up: "you slowly drink, I and your father under dumplings."

Chen Yao quickly stood up: "aunt, I'll go to the pot house with you to make dumplings. Let uncle and Zhang Wei drink and chat together."

Mother smile: "good, good, let's go together."

Zhang Wei knew that his mother would like Chen Yao to go to the pot house with her. His mother must have a lot of words to talk with Chen Yao. Hey, hey... Let's talk, as long as my mother doesn't show up!

The women went out and there were two men left in the hall.

Dad picked up the wine cup and said happily: "son, dad and you have a drink. Your boy is doing well this year. He earned money and found a daughter-in-law. OK! It's much better than dad used to be! "

Zhang Wei drank it all and said to his father, "Dad, drink less. Didn't the doctor tell you to drink less? The body comes first

Dad killed: "it doesn't matter. Dad will have a drink for the Spring Festival today. Usually, dad doesn't drink much. When you come back for the Spring Festival today, dad feels comfortable. In addition, when you bring your partner back, mom and dad feel happy! I think Xiao Chen is a good girl. She is good-looking, capable and capable. You should treat others well and learn more from them. Nowadays, people are lazy to death, wood is tired to death, only stupid to death, wood is smart to death, wood has the ability to suffer from poverty wherever they go. As long as they have a craft, they can eat wherever they go, at least they will not die of hunger. We have lost 30 mu of orchard. If my father hadn't learned how to cultivate the fruit trees, pruned them and looked at the diseases and insect pests, what extra income would our family have? When would we be able to build this big tile roofed house depending on these mu of land? When can I buy a farm car? "

Dad has a characteristic. When he gets happy, he uses "Dad" and "Dad" alternately. In his early years, in the village, all dads were dads and all moms were niangs. Later, he began to catch up with the fashion and learn from city dwellers. In Zhang Wei's time, children began to call dads and moms, but dads often use the words "Dad" and "Niang". In order to distinguish the two parents, Yaya calls the second aunt as her parents, especially when they are together.

"Dad, you and my mother are old, and they should enjoy a few years of happiness. In the future, we should do less work and have more rest. I will earn enough money to support you and my mother. This orchard can't earn a few dollars a year. I don't think we can sell it."

"No! This is the lifeblood of our family, cornucopia, small bank, fool! Without this orchard, my family will go to the north and West? I'm thinking that these 30 acres are all old apple trees, and it's not meaningful to change their heads again. I think the dried fruit market is good in recent years, and our mountain area is also suitable for planting dried fruit. Simply, after spring, cut down the orchard, plant chestnut trees, and plant chestnuts! "

When Zhang Wei heard this, he felt that his father was right: "OK, this is also a good way."

"With extensive management, cold resistance, few diseases and insect pests, easy to sell in the market and high price, chestnut is most suitable for current development." Looking forward to the new year, dad is full of pride.
