This made Gu He's face turn even greener. The white wine in his own house only costs 30-odd yuan a bottle, and his own daughter-in-law is too extravagant to even bring it out.
Usually, he eats like a pig, but when it comes to being filial to his parents, he disappears.
And then there's his sister-in-law, Gu Chen's wife, who is so generous!
She just bought over a hundred yuan worth of wine, and that's for two bottles!
The contrast is just too great.
At the moment, he's staring at the ant hole on the ground without saying a word, wishing that he could shrink, shrink, and then disappear into it.
It's just so embarrassing!
In the past, he was considered the promising one in the family, and there was nothing to say about his filial piety.
But now that Gu Chen has returned, he really is inferior in every way, and he is outshone in everything.
Gu Chen can even afford to buy such expensive wine for his father, but he can't even afford to buy wine that costs more than 30 yuan.
He glared at Fan Xiaoli fiercely.
Fan Xiaoli was just ashamed and surprised.
My goodness, he bought wine that costs more than 100 yuan just like that?
Is he that rich?
In comparison, she felt like a country woman with no experience in the world, who wouldn't even part with thirty yuan for a bottle of wine.
Moreover, Gu Chen had come back for a visit only once, and she had brought such an expensive gift. How could she feel comfortable presenting her thirty-odd yuan bottles of wine in the future?
It was like giving gifts at New Year's: if someone gives you ginseng as soon as they meet you, how could you feel comfortable presenting your own bok choy?
It would be a total embarrassment.
Gu Hang saw the wine and swallowed hard, letting out a small sigh.
'Chen Zi, I appreciate your good intentions, but it's enough for me to be able to smell this wine for the rest of my life! When we get back, take it back, it's too expensive.'
'It's not easy for you two to get along, so live well together in the future. If you're free, come visit the family more often, so your mother can be happy too. You have no idea, over the years, your mother has often missed you, and cried many times in the middle of the night.'
He really didn't want to drink it, but the thought that his children had made the effort meant more to him than anything else.
After all, he was the youngest son, and no family loved their youngest son more.
He was already very happy that Gu Chen was back.
Shen Cuizhi gave Gu Hang a dirty look.
'Who's crying? Who's crying? This little brat, I'm not worried about him!'
Gu Hang smiled and was about to hand the wine to Ji Pianran for her to take back.
This made Gu Zhigang anxious.
'No, Dad, this is a gift from Chen Zi and his siblings. It's not good to return it during the New Year.'
'Yes, this wine must have been bought in the city. The big department stores won't give you a refund!'
Gu He chimed in from the side.
What they didn't say out loud was that they also wanted to try this over-a-hundred-yuan wine. If their father didn't drink it, they would!
Especially Gu Zhigang, who had only drunk such good wine once before, when the factory had entertained the county leaders.
Over the years, he has never had it again!
Gu He is different. He has never drunk such wine since he was a child. He can get by with a few dollars of white wine and a dish of peanuts.
Usually, he doesn't feel any difference, and he especially doesn't understand why those people sell a bottle of wine for tens or hundreds of dollars.
Isn't it all just wine?
What's the difference.
Last time he took a sip of beer and vomited directly.
It tasted strange in his mouth and was like horse urine.
He has never drunk horse urine before, but I think it should taste like that.
'Grandpa, I'm a man now, I want to drink too!'
Xu Xu said from the side, and Gu Hang was also at a loss. Usually, he loves his grandson the most.
Gu Zhigang glanced at Liu Lizhen and was very satisfied. She is worthy of being his daughter-in-law, she really knows how to please people!
He can't say that he wants to drink, or his father-in-law will beat his grandson, right?
If that doesn't work, he'll just let the grandson cry.
The father loves his grandson the most, and if he cries, he will surely give in.
'Yes, Dad, it's the New Year, it's just a token of our appreciation. Don't worry about whether you can get a refund or not, even if I don't get rich from the extra 200 yuan, I can't have a good time?'
Gu Chen didn't think it was a big deal. Since they bought it, they should let their family have a good time during the New Year.
They can't return the wine.
Hearing Gu Chen say this, Gu Zhigang was even more enthusiastic and kept persuading him.
'Then...then you all drink less, we'll keep this wine and serve it to guests.'
Gu Hang gave him a look. Did he say that because his face was leaning against Gu Chen?
Is he really his only son?
It's really frustrating to compare people, how did he raise such a thing.
But he still didn't say anything. After all, it's the New Year, and no one wants to be unhappy.
Besides, this is his son's filial piety.
Shen Cuizhi knocked on the table. Apart from Gu Chen, none of her sons had given her any peace of mind.
'Come on, what kind of face is that? You know exactly what kind of person you are.'
Her eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law never gave her a kind face, apart from making her do the work and look after the grandchildren. She often hated them to the core of her being.
'Forget it, then have some. It's rare for the family to be together, so let's drink and have some fun.'
Gu Hang waved his hand and unscrewed the bottle of wine.
In the past, they drank from bowls, but now they can't. The wine cups in the cupboard were taken out, and everyone poured some. Even the little grandson dipped his chopsticks in and took a sip.
'Grandpa, I want some too!'
Tangtang waved her chubby little hand, saying that her two brothers and uncles and father were drinking, and she wanted some too!
It must be something delicious, and Tangtang wanted some too!
"This?'
Gu Ren was dumbfounded. How could this little girl drink?
Not to mention a sip, just look at the two little brats, they dipped their chopsticks in and took a sip, their faces wrinkled up like chrysanthemums.
This little girl, can she do it?
"Tantang, be good, this isn't good to drink, it's bitter, look at your two little brothers.'
Gu Hang smiled and patted Tantang's head.
Shen Cuizhi on the side also laughed, 'Children don't drink alcohol, Tantang is good, grandma will heat up some sugar water for you.' Afterwards, she glanced at Fan Xiaoli and said, 'Xiaoli, bring over the orange powder from your side.'
'Eh, I'll go right away!'
Fan Xiaoli dared not refuse at this point. After all, Gu Chen had brought out more than a hundred yuan worth of wine. If she were to be stingy, she was afraid that there would be no place for her in this family.
Tangtang looked at Xu Xu's crumpled face and her little head shrunk.
It seems that Grandma wasn't lying; it really is bitter.
But why is Grandpa enjoying it so much? She couldn't figure it out with her little brain.
At this moment, Gu Hang only felt like flying. This good wine is really different!
As the saying goes, this wine is nourishing, the more you drink, the younger you feel.
Wuliangye, five grains, needless to say.
Gu He was extremely surprised when he saw his father like this.
Is this wine really that fragrant?
He took a whiff and was overcome by the mellow fragrance. Gu He swallowed, and just as he had done at home before, he gulped it down in one go.
As a result, he was choked.
Tears and snot were coming out, and Fan Xiaoli kept patting his back from behind.
This was supposed to be a hundred-plus-yuan bottle of wine, but why was it still choking him?
All the talk about a soft entry and a smooth throat was just a lie!
It was only after a long while that Gu He recovered.
He gave a thumbs-up, saying there was no doubt about it, it was great!
Gu He thought it over and decided that he shouldn't have drunk this wine.
After this sip, how could he drink cheap wine in the future?
It was simply no better than horse piss!
"Chen, I was drinking too fast just now and couldn't taste it, so let's have another glass?'
Gu He said with a smile. He had choked a little earlier, but now the sweetness was slowly returning and he could taste the fragrance.
'Drink, we haven't seen each other for so long, let's toast to our parents together!'
Gu Chen finished speaking and poured himself a glass, standing up, 'Dad, Mom, you've worked hard over the years, it turns out that I was inconsiderate, I won't do it again in the future!'
Gu Hang smiled and pursed his lips, then nodded, "Good, good.'
Afterwards, he poured a glass for Shen Cuizhi, "Come, you try it too.'
Shen Cuizhi's eyes widened, and there was a hint of reluctance in the smile in her eyes.
'Forget it, it's so expensive, if I save some for you, you can drink more.'
Gu Chen laughed, 'Mom, what are you talking about, as long as you want to drink it, I'll buy it for you every day!'
