Chapter 88 New Year’s Eve Dinner

“Set off firecrackers!”

Following Mingming’s call, the crackling of firecrackers sounded. The two children turned sideways, covered their ears and closed their eyes, but unconsciously wanted to see the explosion of firecrackers, so they quietly opened one eyelid and peeked over.

Lin Wei also covered one ear, and touched Rarity’s head with the other hand: “Go in!”

Rarity raised her head and glanced at Lin Wei, but didn’t move, then turned to look at the firecrackers. It wasn’t until Zong Shao walked over to say that dinner was about to start that he turned around reluctantly, but he kept looking out as he entered the door.

When Lin Wei and the two children walked in, Zong Shao closed the door, the sound of firecrackers was cut off, and only the warm greeting of Mother Lin was left in the room, asking them what they were drinking.

Mingming didn’t hesitate: “I want to drink soda!”

“Okay, here’s a soda, where’s Rarity?” Mother Lin asked again.

Rarity said, “I want soda too.”

Lin’s mother distributed soft drinks to the two children, and asked Lin Wei and Zong Shao again, but before Zong Shao could answer, Lin’s father said, “Xiao Zong accompany me to drink two cups.”

When the father-in-law spoke, Zong Shao naturally did not hesitate: “Yes.”

Lin Wei said, “I drink glutinous rice bars.”

She bought a total of two kinds of liquor, one is Xifeng wine in box, and the other is glutinous rice wine brewed by local people.

The former was considered a relatively high-end liquor in this era, with a high degree of concentration, but the taste was average, so Lin Wei couldn’t drink it anyway. But Father Lin likes to drink this kind of liquor. He has also tasted coconut wine, glutinous rice wine and lychee wine.

The glutinous rice wine was prepared for herself and Lin’s mother. Lin’s mother had a similar taste to her daughter and could accept glutinous rice wine, but she didn’t drink much, so she poured it in one cup, so she didn’t pour much for herself.

After pouring the wine, Father Lin suggested everyone to have a drink.

Everyone raised their glasses, because it was a large round table, and Ruirui was not tall enough to touch the glass with his arms, so they shouted, “Me, me, and us!”

When several adults saw it, they took down the wine glasses and touched the two children one by one.

After clinking the cups, obviously satisfied, he raised his head and drank all the soda in the cup, then held the cup in both hands and stretched it out in front of Lin Wei: “Mom, I’m done!”

Lin Wei looked down and saw his empty glass, picked up the open soda on the table and filled him, and said, “Eat the vegetables first, don’t drink the soda all the time.” By the way, she also filled Rarity’s glass.

“Know it!”

Mingming agreed with one bite, stretched out his chopsticks and poked a fish ball and bit it.

Rarity followed suit, poking a fish ball and eating it.

Father Lin took Zong Shao to eat, drink and chat. At first, the two of them mainly ate vegetables, but when Father Lin got drunk, they mainly turned to drinking. Zong Shao was still holding chopsticks at first, but when his father-in-law touched cup after cup, he had to put down his chopsticks and drank with him.

Seeing her when she was talking, Mother Lin poked her husband’s arm with chopsticks: “Take it easy, don’t drink too much for the New Year’s Eve.”

Lin’s father said “Okay, okay” in a perfunctory manner, but he quickly filled himself and Zong Shao with wine. Mother Lin rolled her eyes and wanted to talk, but Lin Wei stopped her and said, “Let them drink it for the New Year’s Eve.”

Zong Shao also said: “Mom, don’t worry, I can drink enough.”

“Look, the daughter-in-law and son-in-law said so, don’t worry about it, eat yours.” Lin father said, raised the glass and touched Zong Shao.

Mother Lin was very annoyed, but she didn’t say anything and turned to talk to Lin Wei.

Without the restraint of his daughter-in-law, Lin’s father dragged Zong Shao to drink more vigorously. By the end of the meal, he had not eaten much, and he was already drunk and confused. Zong Shao is okay. He doesn’t drink often, but his drinking has always been good. He looked quite sober at this meeting. When he saw his father-in-law collapsed, he put down his glass and said, “I’ll take my dad upstairs to lie down for a while.”

Mother Lin said angrily, “Let him lie down here and drink as soon as he eats. It’s endless.”

“Dad is also happy for the New Year.” Lin Wei said in a roundabout way, getting up and helping Zong Shao up to the second floor.

It’s just that the stairs in their house are not wide enough, and they can barely fit two people side by side, and three people can’t squeeze together. In addition, Father Lin was so drunk that he stumbled from side to side while walking, and it was a little difficult to help him up.

“I’ll carry Dad up.” Zong Shao said, stepping over to Father Lin and letting him lie on his back.

Zong Shao also drank almost a pound of white wine just now. Although he has a good amount of alcohol, people seem to be fine, but those who are drunk are heavy, plus Lin’s father is tall, Lin Wei can’t help but feel a little worried, and asks, “Can you do it?”

Zong Shao turned his head and looked at Lin Wei with burning eyes: “Do you think I can do it?”

Lin Wei reflexively went to see Father Lin, and she was relieved when she saw that he was so drunk that he started talking nonsense, and glared at Zong Shao. He didn’t care much, and laughed twice.

Seeing that they were parked under the stairs, Mother Lin thought it was impossible to get Father Lin up, so she persuaded him, “Let him sleep on the sofa.”

Just as soon as she finished speaking, Zong Shao picked up Father Lin and said loudly, “Don’t worry, Mom, I can do it.” Then he carried Father Lin upstairs.

Lin Wei was not at ease, and followed behind, supporting Lin’s father’s shoulders and walking up.

Although Zong Shao was not too drunk, he walked upstairs with a steady pace. After a while, he went up to the second floor and sent Father Lin to the second bedroom, making him lie on his side.

After adjusting his father-in-law’s sleeping position, Zong Shao straightened up and looked at Lin Wei: “How is it?”

Lin Wei gave him a sideways glance, then turned around and said, “Let’s go to dinner.”

Zong Shao followed, but after walking out of the second bedroom, he hugged Lin Wei’s waist, took her to the master bedroom, and pressed her against the door panel to kiss. As the smell of alcohol invaded her mouth, Lin Wei was also forced to raise her head. Because of her surprise, her eyes opened slightly wider than usual, and she stared straight at Zong Shao, almost forgetting to breathe.

Seeing her breathing more and more quickly, Zong Shao released her lips, his tone was flat but secretly proud: “Can I do it?”

After Lin Wei regained her breath, she didn’t answer him, only asked, “Are you drunk?”

“No.” Zong Shao denied it, with his left hand around her waist, his right hand on the back of her neck, and his thumb stroking her smooth skin.

Lin Wei didn’t fight with the drunk, she pushed him with her weak arm and said, “Let me go first, we have to go down to eat.”

“you have not answer my question yet.”

“Weiwei, Xiao Zong, do you still eat?”

The voice of Mother Lin came from downstairs, and Lin Wei said loudly, “Come on! Look, Mom is calling us.”

“You answer me first.” The drunk Zong Shao was stubborn.

Lin Wei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Is this matter so important?”

“Very important!”

Lin Wei was helpless: “Okay, you are the best, is that enough?”

The corners of Zong Shao’s lips curled up, and he lowered his head to kiss Lin Wei’s lips again, Lin Wei froze: “If I don’t go down, my mother will come up!”

Zong Shao had no choice but to turn the deep kiss into a light kiss on the corner of his lips.

When her body was free, Lin Wei immediately opened the door and walked out. She went downstairs and said, “When Dad is gone, I won’t let you drink so much alcohol in the future.”

Mother Lin, who was standing at the entrance of the stairs, heard this and asked, “Xiao Zong is also drunk?” It’s like being drunk.

But the young couple didn’t say a word, and Mother Lin didn’t ask any more questions. She greeted the two of them to sit down in the dining room and said, “Come, come, come, let’s eat food, and stop drinking.”

Lin Wei responded, and the next second realized something was wrong: “Why are the soda bottles empty?”

She bought a total of four bottles of soda yesterday. Before dinner, her mother opened two bottles, poured a glass for each of the two children, and there was a little more than one bottle left. Later, after clearly asking Lin Wei to pour the soda, Zong Shao opened the two bottles in front of her, and she poured a glass for each of the children, and there was still a little more than one bottle left.

But now, there are only four empty soda bottles left on the table, and when I look at Mingming Ruirui, they are all full of soda.

Lin Wei held the empty bottle and asked with a serious expression, “What did you drink?”

Seeing that Lin Wei was angry, the two children became quails, and said clearly, “Isn’t it okay to drink?”

“Then I didn’t let you all finish drinking!”

Rarity retorted, “But Mom didn’t let us finish it.”

Quite reasonable, Lin Wei laughed angrily and asked, “Drink so much soda, do you still have food in your stomach?”

Ruirui clearly discussed it, and the dishes can be eaten every day, and there are so many dishes that my parents and grandmother will definitely not be able to finish them, even at night. But after the soda meal, the mother may not let them drink it. Usually, the mother does not let them drink soda.

Because of the idea that I don’t drink more now, maybe I won’t be able to drink it at night, so Ruirui will quickly dry up the soda when the adults are not around.

Therefore, they don’t panic at all now, and they will have stomachs to eat delicious food in the evening!

Looking at the eyes that were clearly rolling around, Lin Wei knew that the brothers still had plans, snorted softly in her heart, and ordered a few large dishes with chopsticks, saying, “We will finish these dishes, and we will not leave them for them.”

Mother Lin and Zong Shao glanced at the two children and agreed, “Okay.”

The two brothers who were playing with abacus: “…”

…

Because they secretly filled a belly of soda, the brothers could only watch their parents and grandmother gulp down sweet and sour pork ribs, braised chicken with potatoes, braised fish and other delicacies.

Although they had moved a few chopsticks before drinking the soda, but this could not make up for their hurt hearts, so the brothers were unhappy until they took a bath at night.

But after returning to the room, the two children received big red envelopes from their mother and grandmother successively.

After getting the red envelope, the two children quickly opened the red envelope.

The first to open was the red envelope given by Mrs. Lin, because she had already recognized a lot of words, and after taking out the two banknotes inside, she quickly calculated the total amount: “Two dollars!”

Whether Lin Wei goes to a state-run restaurant, a vegetable market or a supply and marketing cooperative, she will bring her two children with her. In addition, they usually work hard to earn money, so she clearly understands how difficult it is to earn two yuan, and how hard it is to earn two yuan. What a huge sum of money.

Therefore, when holding the money, he clearly wrote “surprise” in his left eye and “get rich” in his right eye, and he was almost dizzy with happiness.

But the happier thing is still to come. Rarity opens the red envelope given by her mother. There is only one red packet in it, but in the middle there are two big words – Wu Yuan!

Mingming couldn’t help but asked excitedly, “Are we going to post it?”

Rarity calmed down a little, but her voice trembled a little. “Okay, it seems so?” This was the first time he’d seen so much money at his age.

Seeing the excited expressions of the two children, Lin Wei, who planned to collect the red envelopes in the name of saving them tomorrow, decided to postpone the receipt of the red envelopes until the eighth day of the new year.

Let’s keep them happy for a few more days!
