The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Every son-in-law who comes to the wife's house for the first time knows this.

The situation was quite awkward. Apart from being able to make friends with the dog, I didn't know anyone else.

Not only that, they still have to face the curious gazes of the neighbors and the socially awkward uncles and aunts, and they have to deal with them hastily.

"Come on, come on, one person, one person~!"

“Fuck!”

At noon, my father-in-law’s family had a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner.

There are not only chicken, fish, meat and eggs on the table, but also many fresh seafood. After steaming, add some soy sauce and a few green onions. It is so sweet~!

Yes, in the words of Cantonese people, it is called sweet.

But Li Feng couldn't taste any sweetness at all. He just felt that it was quite fresh. If he ate too much, he was afraid that he would develop gout stones. If he didn't eat it, it would be a bit too pretentious.

The adults picked up their wine cups and toasted each other in the old lady's house. Li Feng lowered his head and ate mantis shrimps with great relish. The chili oil in the oil dish far exceeded the upper limit of the Yuezhou people's consumption.

"Well, son-in-law can't drink?"

Li Feng couldn't remember who the elder next to Huang's father was. After drinking with others, he saw that the son-in-law of the Huang family was still motionless, with his head down and busy eating, as if he was out of the matter, so he asked in confusion.

"I took the medicine, but I can't drink. The doctor said I can't drink alcohol~!"

"Then let's have some tea. Tea is fine. Tea can replace wine. My nephew's husband is handsome and has an extraordinary demeanor. It's a rare opportunity for him to come. Come and accompany your cousin to show his appreciation~!"

He nodded thoughtfully and stretched out his arm to him. Li Feng had no choice but to pour a cup of tea, then got up and left.

Of course, considering his seniority, he had to lower the wine cup to show respect.

The uncle was happy that he had saved face, and he quickly pressed his palms together, motioning Li Feng to sit down.

Not many people drink at my father-in-law's house. Maybe people from Guangdong don't like to drink that much. There are several tables of people, and only this table has two or three people drinking white wine.

The children who did not get their turn to sit at the table, holding their bowls and chopsticks in their hands, looked curiously at the older brother sitting at the main table and the younger sister in her great-grandmother's arms, their eyes rolling around.

"Come and try some yellow croaker fish maw, it's good for your health. My nephew's husband is working in Beijing now, too?"

Maybe Li Feng was feeling depressed today and didn't talk much, and was also rather unfamiliar with the relatives here. His cousin, who had just had a drink, tapped the table with his chopsticks, scooped out a piece of fish maw, and gave it to Li Feng.

Before Li Feng could say anything, Huang's father immediately gave him a look, and the son-in-law immediately understood and let his father-in-law do his job.

"I'm a junior cadre from the military factory, in charge of vehicles. Nothing else. Eat, eat~!"

Father Huang didn't want to reveal anything more about this uninvited relative. At the main table, those who knew would know, and those who didn't know would naturally not know.

Since my son-in-law doesn't drink, no one would ask him to drink. Those who are close to him would not ask such questions in this situation.

"The cadres are good, and the military factory is good. I was wondering why you are wearing a military uniform. The one who drives the trucks must be from the Transportation Department. The Transportation Department is a good place~!"

"For example, the drivers of the trucks from the city's transport company that go to our dock to transport fish always pick up the best ones. As a cadre, you have to manage what you should manage. Otherwise, some drivers are really outrageous!"

Under the influence of alcohol, or perhaps taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Feng, this presumptuous cousin, criticized the Yuezhou Transportation Company.

"Come on, Baiquan, we haven't seen each other for a long time, about five or six years, we are already estranged. If you hadn't come to deliver fish this time, we wouldn't have met~!"

"My health is getting worse year by year. I can't compete with you guys. Come on!" Dad Huang took a sip. Just then, Mom Huang, who was sitting next to the old lady, glared at Dad Huang, indicating that he shouldn't drink.

"You sit in the office all the time, and you don't move much. We are floating on the sea with fishing boats every day. If we are not in good health, we can't bear it. Give it to me, I can't sit still anyway~!"

"By the way, where's Beibei? Beibei, come here and show your uncle. Good girl, you've grown a lot taller. When you were little, remember, I used to hold you in my arms~!"

Anyone with social awkwardness will become even more awkward after a few drinks. He called Huang Beibei over and touched the back of his head. His face was like sandpaper and wrinkles appeared from smiling. He looked even older than Huang's father who had gray hair.

"I can't remember how old I was then~!"

Compared to the son-in-law who has to endure it silently at the hands of his father-in-law, Huang Beibei doesn't pamper anyone when he returns to his hometown. He doesn't care who his cousins ​​or uncles are. He won't acknowledge any of them unless he gives them red envelopes.

"Okay, then you can remember this this year. Next time you see your cousin, you have to call for help~!"

He took out a red envelope from his pocket, which looked like it was made of cut-out couplet paper. He quietly handed it to Beibei behind Lao Huang's back. The girl's face changed immediately.

"Happy New Year, cousin. I will definitely remember this in the future~!"

My sister-in-law is really a dog. She didn't pretend to push it back at all. She just stuffed it into her pocket, and her mouth was like honey. Her expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.

Maybe she was afraid that Huang's father would take it back, so she ran away with the bowl in her hand and hid at the next table. When she saw her brother-in-law looking at her in amazement, she immediately smiled and showed the red envelope in her hand to her brother-in-law as if to show off.

"Baiquan, when you got off the plane, was the airport closed? I heard today that something happened at the airport last night and it's closed now?"

The family ate and drank, and got to know Huang's son-in-law. When they were almost done eating, they put down their chopsticks and started their daily chat.

"It seems like something happened. When we got off the plane, we saw soldiers coming. We didn't join in the fun. Our backs hurt after sitting on the plane all day. How could we have the time to watch the fun~!"

Aunt Huang took her granddaughter from the lady's arms, picked up a piece of vegetable and stuffed it into Huihui's mouth, pretending nothing had happened. Even Li Feng couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

"It's a big deal. I heard it's related to foreigners. Maybe they found some contraband. Anyway, it's a big deal. It's still sealed off. Passengers have moved to nearby airports to catch flights~!"

"I'll ask someone later to find out what date your flight is coming back. Don't delay me then~!"

Huang's father is still a little unpredictable. Given the situation last night, it is normal to be blocked.

Old Huang glanced at his son-in-law. He had originally planned to go back tomorrow, but now it seems that it is uncertain when he will be able to go back.

"Uncles, aunts, and nephews-in-law, let me apologize first. My flight is tonight and I have some things to deal with at the factory as soon as possible. My parents' flight is the day after tomorrow, so they shouldn't be delayed~!"

Li Feng thought for a moment and took the initiative to say that a joint investigation team had been set up. It was related to nuclear facilities and atomic bombs, and the director actually appointed him personally. He would not refuse.

As for the Investigation Department, as soon as the plane from Beijing landed, they had to take that stupid foreigner back to Beijing. This time, he came to visit his father-in-law's family as a relative, and it was just to get to know the family. It was too hasty.

"Men, you should still put your career first, especially when you are so young. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders. If things are urgent, just go back first. After all, you will get used to it after a while. Just bring Huihui back to visit when you have time~!"

My father-in-law's eldest brother is easy to talk to and gentle, with a similar temperament to Huang's father. The two of them are very similar. Unlike my cousin's father, he knows that Li Feng's real position is factory director.

Even if the meeting time was short, it represented that the Huang family recognized this son-in-law.

The old lady’s teeth have almost all fallen out and she can’t speak much, but she is also sensible.

He let his grandson-in-law sit next to him, holding his hand, and said nothing. With a kind look in his eyes, he just looked at the younger generations who were chatting.

The old lady was satisfied just to see him once. (End of this chapter)
