Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

As the saying goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she is.

Never mind the meaning behind this statement.

Now, Shi Xiaona saw that the situation was getting a bit awkward, so she came over to help.

"Lao He, look at you, the child is here and you let him sit."

As she spoke, Shi Xiaona stretched out her hand towards Wang Ze.

"Xiao Ze, sit down, it's okay. Don't bother with this stinky old man, he's just like that."

Seeing Wang Ze still a little embarrassed and "at a loss", Shi Xiaona winked at He Wushuang.

Sometimes, the old saying is true.

Just like "I forget my parents when I have a husband".

He Wushuang started to pull Wang Ze to sit down before he even received Shi Xiaona's signal.

They even began to actively fight for opportunities for Wang Ze to perform.

"Dad, Wang Ze heard that you like listening to music, so he asked someone to buy two genuine vinyl records from Hong Kong Island."

"Yes, yes, Xiaoshuang is right."

After hearing what He Wushuang said, Wang Ze immediately stood up again.

He took out two vinyl records from the backpack on his back.

"Uncle Ho, these are two albums released last year by a band called Beyond that I asked someone to bring back from Hong Kong Island."

"Well, okay, thank you."

He Yuzhu took the two records, took a glance at them, and then casually put them aside.

have to.

He Yuzhu is still pretending to be aloof.

This time, Shi Xiaona couldn't stand it anymore.

He glared at He Yuzhu fiercely, then smiled and gave way to Wang Ze.

"Xiao Ze, come and have some fruit. These are all bought by Auntie early in the morning. They are very fresh."

"Okay, thank you auntie."

Although, Wang Ze said "thank you".

However, the movements of his hands were different.

She took out a bag of cosmetics from her backpack and handed it to Shi Xiaona.

"Auntie, I don't know what to give you, so I brought you the cosmetics made from pure Chinese medicine developed by my classmate. I hope you don't mind."

"Oh my, look at you kid, just come if you want to, it's not your first time, what do you need to bring?"

Shi Xiaona took the cosmetics with a smile.

seriously.

Sometimes He Yuzhu just didn't understand.

Why is it that when you give gifts to women, no matter how old they are, as long as they are cosmetics, they will be happy?

After receiving the cosmetics, Shi Xiaona became even more cruel to He Yuzhu.

"Lao He, it turns out that Xiaoze is visiting us for the first time today. You can cook some delicious dishes yourself and have a nice drink with Xiaoze."

As she spoke, Shi Xiaona seemed to change her expression, and said to Wang Ze with a smile:

"Xiao Ze, don't leave for a while, come and have a bite to eat at noon."

Speaking of this, Shi Xiaona's "elderly care" came out.

"Xiao Ze, let me tell you, even though Lao He is like this now, he is actually a master chef of Shandong cuisine. His grandfather, Xiao Shuang's great grandfather, was a master chef of Shandong cuisine, and the tradition has been passed down to Lao He's generation. The dishes he cooks are so delicious."

After talking about He Yuzhu, Shi Xiaona’s revelations were even more shocking.

"Although none of our children have inherited this skill, they have been influenced by it since they were young, and none of the meals they cook are bad. This includes Xiaoshuang. Even though we don't let her cook, the dishes she cooks are even more delicious than those of her two brothers."

He Yuzhu understood what Shi Xiaona meant by this.

Isn't it that in the minds of the older generation, it is normal for a new daughter-in-law to cook and do housework when she comes home?

Shi Xiaona is indirectly praising Xiaoshuang's strengths.

This will save the couple from having conflicts over this issue in the future.

But He Yuzhu was not happy.

When a couple lives together at home, the one who cooks the most will always be the one who cooks the best meals.

He Yuzhu doesn't want his daughter to deal with pots and pans all day long.

"Hmph~~~"

Before Wang Ze could say anything polite, He Yuzhu stood up directly.

"Lao He, where are you going?"

Seeing He Yuzhu walking into the inner room, Shi Xiaona felt a little unhappy.

Also.

When the new son-in-law came to visit, the father-in-law gave him the cold shoulder.

Do you still want your daughter to have a hard time after she gets married?

However, He Yuzhu is not stupid.

He still clearly knows that he is now playing "He Daqing" instead of "Sha Zhu".

"Go back, change your clothes, and cook."

Since He Yuzhu has such a cool and aloof personality, his actual actions must be good, right?

There were 12 dishes filling the table.

This is what He Yuzhu actually did.

"Xiao Ze, can I have a drink?"

As the last dish of canned yellow peaches was brought to the table from the kitchen, He Yuzhu began to speak.

Wang Ze smiled shyly.

"Uncle He, I can drink, but not much."

"As long as I can drink it."

He Yuzhu nodded and took out a bottle of Hutoufen, which was almost 30 years old, from the wine cabinet behind him.

There was a "pop" sound.

He Yuzhu opened the bottle cap naturally and was about to pour it for Wang Ze.

"No, no, no, Uncle He, I'll do it, I'll do it."

The frightened Wang Ze stood up reflexively and took the bottle.

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu handed over the bottle with an expressionless face.

But in my heart, I nodded with satisfaction.

It’s the same old saying.

As the old saying goes, a person's character can be seen from his drinking habits.

This is actually a huge subject.

Actually, alcohol does not have the effect of making cowards braver.

All it has is a "magnifying glass".

It can amplify everything that's going on in your mind.

So, there is the saying that “the drinking habits reflect a person’s character”.

But, never use "I drank too much" as an excuse after you do something bad.

Because, if you really drink too much, alcohol will cause your brain to issue a "forced standby" command.

in other words.

During the period between "being high" and "standby", the person who can control himself is a person with good drinking ability.

and.

Drinking habits are not just about how one behaves after drinking too much.

You can also watch the whole process from the beginning of pouring the wine to the end of the party.

Because, this includes a person's family education and cultivation.

Of course, there may be many people who don’t like to drink, or can’t drink, or because of the current fast pace, they don’t know some of the rules at all.

However, there are some things that you don’t need to know, but you should know them.

For example, He Yuzhu poured the wine just now.

Let's just put it that way.

Even if they don't know that the elders are pouring wine for the younger ones, the younger ones should take the initiative to pour the wine. Or, if the elders really want to pour, the younger ones should stand up and hold the wine glass to show respect.

Then change it to something else.

Not to mention my family, just do whatever you want with me.

Just say you're out and about.

What? When you are sitting at a table, you can have an elder serve you food?

You can't, right?

the same.

Not only that.

There are some other "rules".

For example, how much wine should be poured, how to toast, where is the position of the rim of the cup, how much wine should be drunk, and so on and so forth. There are so many things to think about.

Don't tell me yet.

With this set of procedures, if you are "cramming" at the last minute, it is easy to be exposed at some stage.

However, after He Yuzhu's observation.

This kid Wang Ze performed very well from beginning to end.

have to.

This is not a wine putty, but a house with wine putty.

Because, let’s be serious.

He Yuzhu himself couldn't remember such a long set of rules.

For some places, He Yuzhu only remembered them after seeing Wang Ze's work.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu is the elder.

There is a reason for everything he does.

There is no question of whether to show weakness or not.

However, as He Yuzhu drank, he realized something was wrong.

He, He Yuzhu, has gone through so many years of military career. If we don’t talk about “drinking two and a half kilograms of liquor and beer at will”, then we have to talk about the “alcohol battlefield”.

However, Wang Ze on the opposite side was able to follow He Yuzhu's pace and drink cup after cup without blushing or getting nervous.

You know, it's only been a little over an hour since I started drinking.

There were two of them, but each of them took a bottle.

Now, He Yuzhu was worried.

According to the rules of Northeast China, you have to accompany the visitor well.

(I don’t know about other places, but in the Northeast, where I live, the son-in-law is considered qie.)

So what does it mean to accompany well?

There is a very simple standard.

That means you drank too much.

But now, I can’t accompany you well. I can’t accompany you well.

Besides, He Yuzhu wanted to see what Wang Ze looked like when he was drunk.

oh~~~

Forget it.

Since he didn't have much to drink, He Yuzhu changed his tactics.

Start pulling slowly.

and then.

There is a saying circulating on the Internet in later generations.

"When a man is half drunk, he can talk you into a state of heartbreak."

That's it.

He Yuzhu pretended to be "excited" and started to talk to Wang Ze about Xiao Wushuang's childhood.

Anyway, there is only one meaning behind the words.

"My daughter is my little cotton-padded jacket. Now I hand her over to you. If you dare to let her down, I will kill your whole family."

finally.

After He Yuzhu was so annoyed by the repetitive talk, the parents of both sides met to discuss the date for the two children's wedding and set it.

Next Sunday.

Now, Shi Xiaona, who had long been fed up with watching and listening to this, began to summarize.

This ended the drinking party.

. . . . . . . . .

When He Wushuang came home after sending Wang Ze home, he saw Shi Xiaona playing...

No, it was Shi Xiaona who was chattering about He Yuzhu who was drinking tea and smoking.

"Dad, you're sober now."

Well known.

Sometimes, when you are drinking, you don’t feel anything.

Once you stop, it will take a while before you get "high".

And the person who is drunk cannot bear to hear words like "you've drunk too much" or "wake up".

That's what He Yuzhu is like.

"What? I'm not drunk, okay?"

Fortunately, He Yuzhu is one of those who can control himself.

After saying that, He Yuzhu put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, leaned back on the sofa, and rubbed his head.

"But, I have to say, Xiaoze is a really good drinker. It's all because of these. He is fine."

"Dad, what are you talking about? I winked at you, but you ignored me and insisted on drinking with Wang Ze. Who can you blame?"

Looking at Xiao Wushuang who was covering her mouth and laughing, He Yuzhu was completely confused.

"Huh? When did you wink at me?"

"That's when you turned around to get the wine."

Xiao Wushuang spread his hands innocently, and then explained:

"Wang Ze told me that his family has been practicing medicine for generations, so he grew up in an alcoholic environment and is now a heavy drinker."

"Ok?"

Now, He Yuzhu was a little confused.

"What does this have to do with anything? How can doctors be associated with being able to drink?"

"According to Wang Ze, in the room, after the disinfectant alcohol evaporates to a certain degree, the alcohol will enter the human blood through the skin, and then be transformed and excreted. This is the same as drinking alcohol. The only difference is that this kind of alcohol will not go through the esophagus into the stomach."

He Wushuang spread his hands innocently again.

(To explain, normally, it is difficult for alcohol to enter the blood through the skin because the evaporation rate of alcohol is faster than the rate of absorption into the skin. However, in fact, if the alcohol concentration is higher and the room is smaller and more airtight, it is possible. For example, in an operating room.

Here, this plot is written based on a news report about the chief orthopedic surgeon of a hospital in Yancheng.

A week later on Sunday, as agreed, He Yuzhu went to meet his in-laws.

Good guy.

It’s also to show my respect for He Wushuang.

Or maybe it's to show his respect for He Yuzhu.

Anyway, Wang Ze’s grandparents, great uncle, great grandfather, a dozen people in total, all came.

Well....

Big brother, don’t talk about second brother.

The same goes for He Yuzhu's family.

Every one counts, all are here.

Even Wang Fengting's family and the family of Wang Fengting's wife Sun Min's eldest brother came.

This time.

More than 40 people turned the originally spacious private room into a "university boys' dormitory."

But, that’s fine.

Both parties know each other's "sincerity", so they can talk openly about some things.

For example, the bride price.

"General Meng, how much dowry does our Xiao Shuang want?"

"It depends on your intentions. Anyway, no matter how much you give, I will return it, and then let Xiaoshuang take it back to their little home."

For example, the wedding room where a couple gets married.

"General He, we older generations all know that the younger generations don't like to live with us. They dislike us and don't want to be together. As for our family, we don't intend to offend them. We have prepared a new house for the young couple in Duanku Hutong and are waiting for them to move in after the decoration is completed."

"Okay, since your family has provided the house, then our family should do the same. We will pay for the decoration and appliances."

Just like that, after both sides finished talking about the "simple" things, they started talking about the most complicated things.

That's what a wedding is about.

Just to brag.

Both parties are well-known figures in their respective industries.

In this case, the scale of the wedding will definitely not be small.

So, here comes the question.

Where to do it? How to do it? Who to do it? Who to invite?

Who is the officiant? Who is the witness? Who is the introducer?

Etc., etc.
