Of course, he couldn't do it now. The wine hadn't been poured yet.
"Sit down, sit down."
Zhou Zhenhua placed the old lady on the seat, followed by the first, second, and third grandmasters.
He sat on the right side with his wife.
On the left side of the main seat was the seat of honor, and it was just right for the three elders to sit.
As the head of the family, it was just right for him to take his wife as the right-hand man.
Sitting next to Yu Fanghua was He Yuzhu and his sister, followed by Yu Haitang.
He had no choice. He was young and his seniority was low. This also meant that he indeed treated her as family and not an outsider.
Yu Haitang was satisfied with this and could not help but feel closer to Zhou Zhenhua.
"Today, I will say a few words on behalf of the host.
I'm very grateful to the three of you for coming today.
Of course, he had to thank Zhu Zi, Yu Shui, and Haitang for helping him clean up the table of food. It had been hard on them.
Finally, I would like to thank my grandmother and daughter-in-law.
All these years, you've been worried about me.
Today, I'll take this opportunity to express my stance to everyone.
The Zhou Zhenhua of the past was dead.
Standing here today was the reborn Zhou Zhenhua.
In the future, I will definitely take care of my wife and children and live a good life. You, Zhu Zi, Yu Shui, and Haitang will all be witnesses.
That was the truth.
Grandma, say a few words and let's eat?”
The deaf old lady looked at Zhou Zhenhua, then at the three old men, and laughed.
"Good, I have a good grandson. I believe him.
The few of you, help her more in the future. Don't let her go down the wrong path.
This table was full of good dishes. If they were cold, they wouldn't taste good.
Eat, eat."
The old lady picked up her chopsticks and everyone started to move.
"Old Madam, don't worry. We watched Zhenhua grow up. He's not a bad child.
It's good now. In the future, you'll enjoy life.”
An old man poured a glass of wine for the old lady.
"That's right, that's right. In the future, we'll help keep an eye on it. Nothing will go wrong.”
Second Uncle and Third Uncle had already started eating. Their chopsticks went straight for the big piece of beef.
"Zhu Zi, what are you waiting for?
Are you waiting for me to pour it for you?"
He Yuzhu had been staring at the First Uncle, deep in thought. When Zhou Zhenhua woke her up, she quickly got up and poured wine for them.
There should be rules for pouring wine.
Yu Haitang was the youngest, but she was a guest. She couldn't let the guest pour wine, and she was a girl.
Only He Yuzhu was suitable.
As for He Yushui, Zhou Zhenhua was afraid that she would pour the wine on the two old men.
She stared at the two hungry wolves, her eyes almost spewing fire.
Zhou Zhenhua was quite frightened.
This girl was not afraid of anyone when she had a temper.
Zhou Zhenhua picked up a duck leg and placed it in front of him. He held Zhou Yueyue in his arms and fed her a little.
"Daddy, I can eat by myself. You should also eat quickly. Otherwise, Second Grandpa and Third Grandpa will eat all the vegetables in our house.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's voices instantly disappeared.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's hands stopped in mid-air. They didn't know whether to drop or retract their hands.
Zhou Zhenhua was overjoyed. His daughter was the best at talking.
"Yueyue, don't talk nonsense. Look, isn't this table full of dishes for everyone to eat?
If we eat it all, we should be happy.
Nowadays, frugality was advocated and food could not be wasted.
The two grandpas are setting an example for us.”
Listening to Zhou Zhenhua's serious lie, Yu Haitang and He Yushui couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Yes, yes, yes. Yueyue, your father is right.
You can't waste it. Haitang, eat more too. Don't be shy. There are no outsiders.”
" Master!" He Yushui called out, but his face was twitching. Zhou Zhenhua was afraid that she would turn around and cramp up.
"Haha…that, right, we're afraid of wasting it.
Come, come, Zhenhua. We haven't had a drink together in a long time. Let's go.”
"Second Uncle, I'll do it on behalf of my brother. My brother swore that he would quit drinking in the future.”
He Yuzhu was also holding back his laughter in his heart. He took the opportunity to vent while drinking.
"First Master, this first cup of wine is to be given to you.
In the entire courtyard, you are the fairest.
I'll do it first."
He Yuzhu first blocked Zhou Zhenhua's drink and then began to toast.
She gulped it down and felt bored.
He knocked down the wine cup, and not a single drop was left.
First Uncle quickly reached out to stop him."Zhu Zi, don't drink in such a hurry. Sit down, sit down, let's drink slowly.”
"Old Yi, you're in the wrong. The child has already dried up, so why aren't you happy?”
Second Uncle was furious.
First Uncle could only drink it as well. The degree of the scattered white melon was not low. First Uncle's face turned red and he only went down after a long time.
This wine cup was not small. It was a big wine cup that was half a meter in size.
This could even be called a cup. There was no other way. It was called a wine cup.
He Yuzhu's alcohol tolerance was not bad. Usually, she would drink a few taels at home when she had nothing to do.
The few old men took turns to walk around, and even Yu Haitang drank with him for the first time.
She only took a sip, but she felt that He Yuzhu was quite magnanimous.
"Daddy, I want to eat pork ribs."
"Alright, let's eat the ribs. Grandma, try this. You can eat it.”
For the sake of the old man, these dishes were basically cooked.
The old lady looked at the bowl in front of her. It was filled with gratification as her grandson and granddaughter-in-law picked it up.
"Alright, don't care about me anymore.
Come, give it to me, Little Bao 'er. Hurry up and eat some. I haven't seen you move your chopsticks for a long time.”
"It's okay. She can eat more. I'll eat when she's full.
There was so much meat that he couldn't finish it no matter how hard he ate.”
This was a good opportunity for him to bribe the little girl. No, he couldn't call it bribery. He called it nurturing the father-daughter relationship.
Yu Fanghua picked up food for Zhou Zhenhua. She watched Zhou Zhenhua feed his daughter while teasing her. The two father and daughter got along very well, which made her completely untie the knot in her heart. She only felt that this day was getting more and more promising.
"Don't worry about me. Hurry up and eat.
Take care of the two girls and yourself. Eat more. You're so skinny.”
Yu Fanghua blushed and quietly twisted his soft flesh.
She quickly retracted her hand.
With so many people around, she had never been so bold to do such a thing. She felt that it was exciting.
"Hiss…who did you learn this from? You even know how to pinch people.”
"Hmph, there are some things that women don't need to learn.”
"Alright, alright, alright. I surrender."
As he spoke, the smile in his eyes almost overflowed.
Such a lively personality suited his age. If he followed the rules too much, it would be boring.
At this moment, the dining table was divided into three camps.
He Yuzhu had made up his mind to beat the three masters to the ground.
Yu Haitang had already switched positions with him, making it easier for him to fight.
Then, the three women put on a show and gathered together. They chatted and laughed together from time to time.
Women's games always ended at a strange point.
As for Zhou Zhenhua, he was talking to the old lady with his daughter in his arms.
He was quick-witted and would say a few witty words from time to time, coaxing the old lady so much that she couldn't see her teeth.
At the same time, Qin Huairu and her family were also eating meat.
In the morning, Jia Zhangshi nodded her head for the first time and gave two yuan to buy meat.
The whole family sat together and ate braised pork.
This meat was bought in Pigeon City.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to buy meat at the market at noon.
Pigeon City was also a black market. As for why it was called Pigeon City, there were three explanations.
The first theory was that the Eight Banners disciples in the past did not have to worry about food and drink, and they would gather together to play when they saw their children. Play what?
Fighting crickets, fighting dogs, fighting cocks, carrying cages and holding birds.
They were comparing whose bird was better, whose cry was crisper, and whose feathers were prettier. This matter was originally quite serious, but it was more or less a little inappropriate to say it out loud.
Later on, the Qing Dynasty was gone, and these rich playboys also declined. Without the glory of the past, they could not afford to play with those birds.
He started playing with pigeons. Pigeons were cheap. They gathered together all day to compete with pigeons or buy and sell pigeons.
Over time, there were more markets for bartering and buying and selling other things, which became the pigeon market.
The second theory was that when Pigeon City was first formed, the country had cracked down on anyone who wanted to sell something.
Therefore, he thought of a way to hang a pigeon coop in front of the door.
If they stood him up inside, it meant that this shop had something to sell. If the cage was empty, it meant that the items had been sold out.
It was equivalent to a secret code.
The third theory was that these people who were shopping in Pigeon Market were afraid of being caught by the red armbands. They wrapped themselves in coats and did not show their faces. They stuck their heads out and walked through the streets like pigeons.
Wasn't the market that a group of pigeons visited called Pigeon Market?
No matter what, Pigeon City was formed.
Former Country
The family cracked down on private business. This was speculation.
However, after three years of natural disasters, coupled with the fact that Big Brother Mao Xiong, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, betrayed the revolution, our country's lack of resources has become even more serious.
The planned allocation was simply not enough.
Therefore, the local governments turned a blind eye to Pigeon City. They couldn't really starve the people to death, right? Then wouldn't society be in chaos?
Therefore, in 1965, no one was arrested anymore. As long as it wasn't too overboard, everyone would pretend that they didn't see anything.
Of course, if you went to the pigeon market and showed off, saying that your family was rich and could buy meat, that was purely because you were stupid. You deserved to be locked up for a few months.
"Mom, this red braised pork is too delicious. It would be great if I could eat it every day.”
The stick was so full of oil.
Jia Zhang-shi was even more afraid that she wouldn't be able to snatch it, so she picked up another piece before she could even eat it.
Meanwhile, Qin Huairu was thinking about the little locust flower as she fed the little one.
"Mom, I also want to eat locust flowers every day.”
The little locust flower was at its cute moment, so it spoke in a childish voice.
"Huai 'er, you don't have to say this to Mom. You have to tell Grandma that all the money in the family is under Grandma's control.”Little Dang was the only one in the family who cared about his mother. He knew that Qin Huiru had it tough.
Qin Huairu glanced at Little Dang with a gratified expression, then at her mother-in-law, who was eating in an ugly manner. She did not say anything.
"Qin Huairu, why are you looking at me? You are the daughter-in-law of the Jia family. Are you not satisfied with me being the head of the family?”
