C181 inherited the mother's genes

Zywane had always thought that the reason he had such a high alcohol tolerance was because he inherited his mother's genes.

Dad added some anthracite to the stove, and the fire burned fiercely, radiating a great deal of heat from the stove and the chimney, and the atmosphere in the room was warm and peaceful.

His mother was sitting in the second place, on his right, while Chen Yao was sitting next, on his left. As for Zhang Wei, he was sitting face to face with his father, who was one of the lowest labourers.

The dishes were all served in a sumptuous manner. Many of them were the specialties of the mountain: Lentinus edodes, radish stewed rabbits, fried turtles, and a few other unnamed wild dishes. All of them were purely natural.

At 7 PM sharp, the New Year's Eve meal started.

Dad sat upright on the job and picked up the wine cup, "Mom, your baby is back today. Our family is reunited again. Although I haven't been able to come back for the new year, and we have lost a daughter, but this year Little Chen came to our house to celebrate the new year, which means our daughter is here. Little Chen is my darling's friend, he came all the way from the south to our home for New Year's and to experience life, and to be able to live in our house is our honor. Today's new year, I won't say anything else, but I just want to welcome Little Chen to our house for the new year.

Chen Yao held the wine cup and looked at her father with her big, shining eyes.

"We don't drink this first cup of wine." His father slowly tilted the wine cup towards the ground and said, "This first goblet of wine is to pay respects to my baby's deceased grandparents and give them a happy new year in the other world."

Everyone followed his example and spilled the wine on the ground.

His father suddenly turned to Chen Yao and asked: "Little Chen, is the old man from your family still alive?"

"Grandpa, grandma, dad passed away. Mom is safe." Chen Yao replied.

Father nodded. "Come, daughter, pour the wine."

Chen Yao held the wine pot and poured for everyone to drink.

His father raised his glass and said, "We will not drink this second goblet of wine. Let's toast to the long-lost elders of the Chen family and wish them a happy new year from the north. We wish them a safe life in another world. "Come!"

Chen Yao gratefully looked at his father: "Thank you, Uncle."

They sprinkled a second glass of wine slowly onto the floor.

After pouring the third glass of wine, Dad picked it up and looked around happily: "Today is the year 30. During the new year, everyone is reunited, come, let's have a drink together, this wine has 3 levels of meaning, this meaning, family reunion, physical well-being; the second level meaning, welcome little Chen to my house as a guest, experience life; the third level meaning, the baby has been out for so many years, it's been a long time, it's good, otherwise my leg surgery wouldn't have been successful, I would have lost the 100 thousand yuan that the baby sent back. I just had an operation on my leg and the doctor told me to drink less. I'm so happy today, I'll make an exception and have a drink, hur hur. "Come, cheers!"

"F * ck!" Everyone raised their glasses and downed the wine.

His mother looked at Chen Yao, "My daughter, if you can't drink, then just drink up. There's no need to do it."

Chen Yao smiled, "Aunt, it's fine, it's fine if you drink a little."

Mother busily called Chen Yao for food, and said: "Little Chen, when you get to my house, treat it as your own home. Don't hold yourself back, don't stop with chopsticks, talk about food, and eat evilly (eat more)!"

's mother had spoken so many dialects all at once that Chen Yao couldn't understand clearly what she meant, but she knew that she wanted him to eat more. She hurriedly smiled and nodded.

Zywane stood up and handed the glasses to his parents. "Dad, mom, a toast to you and your elder this year. We wish you both good health and good spirits!"

His parents happily downed the wine in one gulp.

Then, Zywane sat down.

He had to stand up obediently and put the wine cup in the hands of his seniors. The seniors sat there without moving, the juniors did not drink, the juniors would drink, and the juniors had to stand there and wait for their seniors to finish drinking and put down the wine cups before they could sit down.

Chen Yao carefully observed Zywane's actions and waited for Zywane to finish drinking. She immediately poured a cup for the two elders, then followed suit, standing up to carry a cup for Zywane's parents, saying in a soft, Wu-sounding Shandong language, "Uncle, sister-in-law, this is my first time here in Shandong for the new year. I do not understand the customs here, I will also follow Zywane's example and bring you two elders a cup of wine.

Chen Yao's shoddy Shandong language had a rich southern flavor, it sounded extremely funny. Zywane was so happy that his mouth was half open as he looked at Chen Yao in a daze.

Mom and Dad was so happy that he drank it all in one go, and called Chen Yao happily: "Quickly sit down, my daughter, eat!"

Chen Yao waited until her parents had placed the wine cup on the table before sitting down.

Zywane looked at Chen Yao's actions, this girl learned very quickly, her adaptability was strong, her heart was meticulous, she had always felt that the Southerner was not a traditional Chinese style, did not respect Kong Meng's methods, did not understand how to treat people and objects, and from time to time, she would call the Southerner Xiao Nan Man. It seems that from Chen Yao's perspective, she had to change this point of view.

The food prepared by his parents was very delicious, Zywane ate happily and asked Chen Yao: "How's the taste?"

"Hm!" "Delicious!" Chen Yao ate the food in large mouthfuls as she praised the dishes non-stop, "The taste is very suitable for my taste, hehe …"

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

"This scorpion is very delicious." Chen Yao pointed to the yellow-orange scorpion on the plate and said.

"Your uncle went up the mountain to catch these. They're all alive. They exploded on the spot." His mother looked at Chen Yao happily and said, "Little Chen, eat more."

His father raised his wine cup again and said to Chen Yao: "My daughter, come, bring a cup of wine to your mother and your family.

Chen Yao hurriedly stood up and raised his own small wine cup with both hands. She placed the opening of his own wine cup slightly below Father's, and clinked his cup with him. "Thank you Uncle!" Then kill it and sit down.

Seeing this, Zywane thought that it was possible. Chen Yao knew the custom of toasting from the north as well. This kind of drinking etiquette was a way for juniors to show respect and respect to their elders or subordinates who would drink to their superiors. If their peers drank like this, then they would show great respect to their seniors. The south was far worse on this point. They didn't care about these things. They just wanted to drink. It didn't matter if you were an elder or a junior, it didn't matter if you were an elder or a child. This was one of the differences between the wine cultures of the North and the South.

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

The Spring Festival Gala began at 8 AM and was about to arrive.

Chen Yao picked up the wine pot and poured a cup for Zywane and herself. She then picked up the cup and looked at Zywane with sparkling eyes, "Zywane, let me toast to you."

Chen Yao's expression was very solemn, unlike her usual teasing, and the expression in her eyes was a little strange.

Zywane was at a loss of what to do, so he quickly picked up his glass.

Chen Yao continued to look at Zywane with sparkling eyes, "It's been a while since I've known you, I feel your rapid progress, I feel your rapid growth, and New Year has arrived. I congratulate you on your past achievements, and wish you great achievements in the future. "Here, I'll toast you."

Zhang Wei immediately raised his glass and said, "Okay, Chen Yao, thank you!"

The other party was a guest, so he should lower his glass a little. Just as Zhang Wei was about to lower his cup, Chen Yao also lowered his, and the two of them went back and forth until their wine cups reached the table.

Zywane looked at Chen Yao, "Haha, let's exchange our respects, we are of equal standing!"

Chen Yao laughed, raised his cup and finished it in one gulp.

Looking at the couple's mutual respect, Mom was overjoyed. She stood up and said, "You two take your time to drink. Your father and I will eat dumplings."

Chen Yao hurriedly stood up, "Aunt, I will go to the wok with you to prepare some dumplings. Let uncle and Zhang Wei have a drink and chat with each other."

His mother smiled and said, "Alright, alright. Let's go together then."

Zywane knew that his mother would definitely be more than happy to have Chen Yao go to the wok with her. She definitely had a lot of things to discuss with Chen Yao, hehe … Go on, as long as Mom doesn't reveal anything!

The women went out, leaving two men in the hall.

His father picked up the wine glass and happily said, "Son, let me toast you. You brat, you've made a good living this year, earned some money, and even found a wife. Fine! "He's much stronger than father in the past!"

Zhang Wei drank it all in one gulp and said to his father, "Dad, drink less. Didn't the doctor tell you to drink less? This body is the first. "

Usually, my dad doesn't drink much anymore. But this new year, when you come back, my dad will feel really comfortable, and with the addition of the person you brought back, my mom and dad will feel really happy! Little Chen, I think you're a pretty good girl. You should treat her well, learn from her if she's capable. Nowadays, people only have lazy, tired, stupid, stupid, intelligent, and poor people everywhere they go. As long as they had skills, they would always have food wherever they went. At the very least, they wouldn't die from hunger. My family has lost 30 mu of orchards. If not for my dad learning the craftsmanship of growing these fruit trees and being able to prune and mow them, my family would not have had any extra income. With these few mu of land, when will we be able to build these tile-roofed houses? When can I buy a farm car? "

In the early days, when people called him father or mother, they would call him mother or father. Later on, they started to be fashionable, learning from the people of the city, and when it came to Zhang Wei's group, all the children started calling him father or mother. However, the word "father" and "mother" would often come up. In order to differentiate between the two parents, Ya Ya Ya called Second Aunt's parents, calling them's parents, especially when their parents were together with Second Aunt's family.

Dad, you and mom are old, so it's time for us to enjoy the blessings of a few years. In the future, do less work and rest, and I'll make good money outside. It's enough to support you and mom.

"That's fine! This is our lifeblood, a treasure pot, a small bank, silly! Without these orchards, our family would have to go to the northwest wind? I was thinking, these 30 acres are all aged apple trees, changing heads doesn't mean much, and it even cost me a lot of effort. The dry fruit market these few years is not bad, and our mountain region is also suitable for growing dried fruits, so after spring, we can cut down the orchards, plant chestnut trees, and plant chestnuts! "

Hearing that, Zywane felt that his father's words made sense. "Sure, that's a good idea."

"Chestnut management is rough, cold-resistant, and has fewer pests and diseases. It's easy to sell on the market, so the price is high. It's most suitable for the current development." Looking forward to the new year, Dad is high-spirited, full of pride.
