Chapter 44 I Want to Sit at the Children's Table
"Azure is waiting for Misty Rain, and I'm waiting for you
The moonlight was salvaged, and the ending fainted
Like the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, it is beautiful by itself
you have a smile in your eyes
..."
The replay of the Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV. Jay Chou, who was dressed in a black suit and whose jaw line had not yet begun to round, sang his masterpiece "Blue and White Porcelain" affectionately.
But at this moment, no one appreciates the charm of Jay Chou's music, everyone is busy with their own affairs during the Spring Festival party.
The children ran to the door to set off firecrackers, and some played hide and seek.
The little face was flushed with cold, and the snot was about to flow into his mouth. He just lay on the pile of firewood and said nothing. Decades ago, he was a good ambush fighter.
The men took poker and set up two card games in the house and in the yard.
They played the local special [Enough Level] bluffing, shouting one by one, and those who didn't know thought they were fighting, and those who didn't have wheels were booing next to them, and it was very lively.
Most of the women gather in twos and threes to chat.
Mainly sharing interesting gossip and the recent situation of relatives and friends. For a while, this woman cheated, and for a while, the old man ran away with debts, and the last time it must be a chicken lost, and scolded the whole village for half a night.
Wei Yang didn't get involved with the bustle of the three legions. He sat on the balcony on the second floor, enjoying himself while basking in the sun and eating melon seeds.
Today is the second day of the new year, and the rule in Zaoshi is to go back to her mother's house on the second day and third day, so Wei Yang's family came to grandma's house.
Wei Yang's grandparents are still alive, so everyone gets together every year.
Compared with the sparsely populated Wei family, the old Wang family has a large number of people. Wang Yunping has two older brothers and two older sisters, and two younger sisters and a younger brother.
There are eight sisters in the Wang family, and Wei Yangguang has more than a dozen cousins, and several of them are married. The annual Chinese New Year gathering is very lively.
…
"Eat, eat."
When it's time for dinner, the second aunt and grandma who are in charge of the spoon direct everyone to clean up the table and prepare to serve dinner.
Due to the large number of people, several tables were divided, one table for men, one table for women, and one table for children.
There are a little more people on the men's side, and they plan to share a few to squeeze in the children's side, Wei Yang volunteered.
"I'll sit at the children's table."
The uncle pushed him down: "Why are you sitting? I'll talk to you later, Xiaolong, you go over there, Zhenzhen, you can't drink, go too."
There are many relatives, but there are people in the world, and when there are too many people, there are often indistinct distinctions.
The second uncle who works in the bank is the most valued son-in-law in the family all the year round. The honest little uncle cooks every New Year's party. If the grandpa hadn't asked the son-in-law before the banquet, he would have almost forgotten him.
The older generation is like this, and so is Wei Yang's generation.
Cousin Lei of the uncle's family became a contractor, and the uncle was tough when he spoke. Cousin Lei was more valued than several uncles.
Cousin Long, who was pushed to the children's table just now, dropped out of elementary school. He has been a mess these years, and he usually doesn't come to trouble. Naturally, he is not welcomed by the elders.
In the past, Wei Shan and Wei Yang were well treated.
After all, the father runs a shop with an upper-middle income, and the son is a college student.
Don't underestimate the status of this college student, not to mention the cousins who are still in school, Wei Yang's cousins are basically junior high school or technical secondary school.
Wei Yang, a drama student, is already one of the only two undergraduates in his family.
As a college student, plus Wei Yang's good drinker, he was still favored by uncles and others before, and this year it is even more so.
Although Wei Yang felt that he was just a little red just now and not a star, but to his relatives in his hometown, it was all on TV, so it was okay.
Ask from all over the world to find out if there are any children who have been on TV, this is not a star but something! ?
For the first time, Wei Shan surpassed his second brother-in-law who had oppressed him for the rest of his life, and sat next to his father-in-law as the first son-in-law.
Old Wei's mouth was almost crooked.
What's so great about working in a bank? I gave birth to a good son and took him with me.
Wei Yang himself received unprecedented attention. He was seated between the uncle and uncle, and the second uncle poured the wine himself. Before the second uncle was promoted to the manager of the bank, he was not arranged by this standard.
To be honest, it's a bit cool, but if he can choose, Wei Yang would still prefer to go to the children's table.
The difficulty of eating with these middle-aged and elderly elders is not to drink, but to listen to them tell you some great truths.
It’s fine if these principles are really useful, but due to the difference in generation gap, many times the principles said by these elders often do not match your values.
But out of politeness and family affection, you can't refute in person, so you can only bear to listen. Not only do you have to resist the desire to complain, but you also have to nod and cooperate from time to time. This is the most torturous thing.
Wei Yang is not afraid of drinking, he can single out three uncles and several uncles alone, but he is afraid that they will brag if they drink too much.
Uncle Wei Yang, in particular, works as a security guard, holds the heart of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and is "proficient" in a series of things such as history, biology, technology, politics, finance, military affairs, and philosophy.
Let's put it this way, according to his uncle's self-confidence after drinking too much, the Trisolarans have to kneel at the door to listen.
That is to say, if you were born at the wrong time, if you didn’t meet Bole, but if you were born decades earlier, or were supported by noble people, China has unified Eurasia and colonized Africa and America...
What can Wei Yang do, uncle, apart from being a little snobbish, he has always been nice to him.
Moreover, it is human nature to be more utilitarian, even Wei Yang himself, in fact, it is difficult not to consider those external factors, and treat all relatives equally.
But snobbery may not matter, but bragging is too much torture.
Wei Yang Rang Chui's brains were about to explode, and his spirit was greatly traumatized. It took a lot of perseverance to keep silent, but he couldn't bear it any longer.
So Wei Yang took the initiative to attack, and he couldn't just shut up, so he just put him down, which was quiet and relieved.
"Uncle, what you said is very good, let me drink one."
"The financial crisis is like that, come on, let's have another one."
"It turns out that Qin Shihuang was like this, uncle, do it."
"..."
In less than twenty minutes, under Wei Yang's coaxing and irrigation, the uncle had already started to slip under the table.
The world finally stopped halfway, but Wei Yang still hadn't finished venting his anger. He looked around with a glass of wine, and looked at the second uncle who was trying to show off his relationship with the local leaders, and smiled slightly.
"Second Uncle, it looks like I'm going to be promoted, come, my nephew wishes."
A few hours later, except for his own father Wei Shan, his elderly grandfather, and his uncle who had high blood pressure and could not drink, all of them were put down by Wei Yang.
The uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle were lying on the sofa and snoring, the second uncle and the fourth uncle were helped to rest in the house, one cousin was smirking at the wall calendar, and the other cousin sat on the ground with a flushed face and cried bitterly. Cry, there is also a cousin squatting in the toilet with his cousin husband and vomiting...
Wei Yang's vengeance was avenged, and he was in a good mood, but he also got a lot of jealousy from his cousins and cousins.
Especially the cousin of the second uncle's family, who just got married a few years ago, was newlyweds, mixed with honey, felt sorry for her husband, and couldn't help complaining about Wei Yang.
"It's fine if you feed my dad and them, but what are you doing feeding him? He can't drink."
Wei Yang looked innocent: "I don't blame me for this. My brother-in-law insisted on dragging me to drink, saying that I didn't go to get married, so I have to make up for it. If I don't drink, I won't give him face."
The cousin was speechless, looking at her husband who was still squatting in the toilet and did not dare to move, she was angry and distressed.
"This time I've saved my face. After getting married, I came back to my old man's house for the New Year. I smelled the restroom cleanly."
Losing face is still a trivial matter, Wei Yang is a little worried about the cousin who is crying and chanting a woman's name.
He quietly asked his mother for his cousin's name, and found that it didn't match the name his cousin said. Wei Yang recalled the murderous look in his cousin's eyes just now, feeling worried.
Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year will not die...
Wei Yang secretly made up his mind that next year he would have to sit at the children's table if he said anything. These people don't want to brag, they just make up a lot of things, so there's no way they'd have the fun of grabbing meat with the children.
