father-in-law of the nation

Chapter 326 Gifts
At noon that day, Wang Shen returned to his hometown, just in time for lunch.

This time when I came back, I was quite cautious, and no one got the news except the family.

There is no way, Wang Shen was really scared after being surrounded by villagers last time.

how to say?

Whether it was relatives or fellow villagers, they were eager to invite Wang Shen to a banquet.In this case, if they refuse, it will be very embarrassing to these elders in their hometown.

If he doesn't refuse, he simply doesn't have time to do all these things.

So, a dilemma.

Back home, because she hasn't seen her for a few days, daughter Wang Xiaoying misses her father and sticks to Wang Shen's side all the time.

The whole family was sitting in the hall for dinner, Qiu Hongmei said in a timely manner: "Xiao Shen, Wei Wei is getting married, tomorrow, you will accompany your father there."

The Weiwei that Qiu Hongmei mentioned was none other than Wang Shen's uncle's child, who was two or three years younger than Wang Shen, and Wang Shen's cousin.

As for the family conditions of Wang Shen's uncle, it can be said to be quite good.

There is a supermarket with a reasonable scale in the city, and it has an annual income of hundreds of thousands.

Compared with ordinary people, they are already in the ranks of the rich.

Obviously, the relationship between Wang Shen's family and his uncle's family is not very close.

In fact, this situation is quite normal in rural areas.

Don't look at it as a relationship, as long as the economic strength of the two families is too different.

Then, the frequency of walking will be less.

Basically, I only walk around during the holidays or when there are relatively big things, and I don’t have much contact at other times.

As for the reason, it is clear at a glance.

Originally, with such a relationship, when Wang Shen didn't come back, the old couple would bring Wang Xiaoying to congratulate them.

It's just that, in such a crowded environment, it's a little uneasy to bring the old couple Wang Xiaoying with them.

Therefore, since Wang Shen came back, Qiu Hongmei brought it up in a timely manner.

Anyway, with such a relationship, if only Wang Dali went to congratulate him, it would seem a little distant and contemptuous.

In the eyes of outsiders, it may be felt that Wang Shen's family has opinions on his uncle's family.

However, if Wang Shen and Wang Dali go together, there will be no miscellaneous worries.

Wang Shen understood what Qiu Hongmei meant. After all, he was born and raised here, and he knew the ways of the world in the countryside, so he responded without saying a word, "All right."

To be honest, Wang Shen didn't meet his old cousin very often, if it wasn't for a relative's family like his uncle, he really didn't want to go.

It was hard to come back to take a rest, but something happened again, Wang Shen could only sigh secretly.

As for why Wang Shen went there in the afternoon, it can only be said that different places have different customs.

Here, as long as it is a happy event of marriage, the guests will be entertained the night before the wedding.

The next day, the young man followed the groom to meet the bride.

Bring the bride back and hold a banquet to thank the guests.

Probably this is the process.

After lunch, Wang Shen played with Wang Xiaoying for a while, then got up and prepared to go to the city with Wang Dali.

Wang Dali specially changed into expensive clothes that he only wore during the New Year. After he was well prepared, he went out with Wang Shen.

As for Wang Xiaoying, she stayed at home with her grandmother Qiu Hongmei.

At first, the little boy was unwilling, but when Wang Shen told her that he would take her to participate in the Speeding Forward program after this matter was over, the little boy reluctantly agreed.

Wang Shen still wore a mask and sunglasses to prevent others from recognizing him when he went out. After a while by car, the father and son arrived in the city.

However, Wang Shen did not let Wang Dali go directly, but took him straight to the bank.

"What are you doing at the bank? Your mother has already prepared Liqian and sealed it in a red envelope for me." On the way, Wang Dali asked suspiciously.

Hearing the words, Wang Shen stopped and asked, "Dad, you have prepared the gift money, but have you prepared the money for playing cards?"

"Playing cards? Your uncle knows that I don't play cards, so he won't let me go to the table." Wang Dali responded.

"Dad, that's usually my relatives, so I won't force you to come to the table. But now it's my uncle's family holding a wedding, I don't know how many relatives will come. What's more, you are still Weiwei's uncle, and among those relatives , you are the oldest. At that time, they will definitely ask you to play cards at the table. Otherwise, so many people will see that your uncle is not playing cards and others are playing cards for entertainment. Isn’t it unreasonable? Besides, your uncle is here, Even if your uncle didn't let you play cards, wouldn't those people who arrange guests at your uncle's family find someone to play cards with you? Think about it, no matter how you are an uncle, your uncle's family will definitely arrange for you, otherwise it will be embarrassing. .” Wang Shen explained in a soft voice.

When Wang Dali heard this, he really made such a reason, opened his mouth and said, "How about we go later?"

Wang Shen was a little speechless, and said: "Dad, don't worry, our family is not short of money. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to play cards. As the oldest uncle, how can your son embarrass you? I will go to the bank to withdraw 10 yuan later. Yuan money. After going to your uncle’s house, they arranged for you to play cards, so you go. If you lose, it’s all your son’s money. You can lose with confidence. Our family has plenty of money. Think about it, if your son is worth a billion in the future, even if you lose A few hundred thousand is just a small fraction, so you don’t need to have psychological pressure, just do whatever you want.”

Why did Wang Shen conclude that if Wang Dali went, he would be asked to play cards at the table?
it's actually really easy.

It can be said that this has become a custom.

To be precise, Wang Shen's uncle's family held a traditional wedding, and many guests would be there.

What do you do after you arrive?

You can't just stare at each other, can you?
So there must be entertainment.

That is playing cards!
And Wang Dali is the oldest kind of uncle.

In the whole scene, others can be negligent, but his uncle will definitely make arrangements, no matter what, he won't let him stare alone, and will definitely find someone to play cards with Wang Dali for entertainment.

Now that it has been planned, in order to remove the worries in his father's heart.

On the way, Wang Shen planned to withdraw a sum of money and give Wang Dali to sit on the table confidently.

No matter how you say it is also an uncle, face must be in place.

Besides, isn't it just that little money?

Even if you lose everything, it's not a problem.

You can't lose face even if you lose money, right?
What's more, for the current Wang Shen, these are small money.

Hearing what Wang Shen said, Wang Dali didn't know what to say.

He understood what Wang Shen meant. He was the oldest uncle, and he couldn't lose face if he lost anything on that kind of occasion.

"That's fine. Although 10 yuan is nothing in your eyes, it is not a small amount in Dad's eyes. If you lose, it will be very distressing." Wang Dali responded, paused, and then added , "Dad knows it well, when the time comes, try to lose more slowly."
