When asked about the cattle dealer's recovery, the smile on Xiaoduo's face became a little more troubled.

"How do you say this? It used to take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, but that's the amount of time it takes to recover properly." Xiao Duo said.

"Although the uncle is in bed for recuperation, he can't help but drink wine. He drinks more or less half a cup every noon and night. Originally, the swelling in his legs disappeared day by day, but in the past few days, he has been recovering.

After drinking, the situation worsened again and the pain worsened."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua looked at each other and frowned.

Xiaohua said: "You shouldn't drink alcohol if you're injured. Your uncle is confused about this matter. You and Katsuo can't be confused!"

Xiaoduo felt a little aggrieved: "Sheng Nan and I took turns persuading him, but he could listen to everything else, except for drinking, where he was really stubborn.

In his own words, if he doesn't drink for a day, he will lose his sense of being a human being. Compared with the past three meals a day, he drank a bottle of water for each meal. Now he only drinks a little or two at noon and night.

It only adds up to a glass of wine, so we can’t stop him, so we can only turn a blind eye, which is just to postpone his days of bed rest!"

Xiaoduo lowered his head and sighed helplessly.

Xiaohua still insisted on her own idea: "This is not possible, you still have to say what needs to be said. When I go to see Uncle Xiang later, I will give him some kind words to persuade him."

Xiaoduo raised her head with a happy face: "It's okay if you try to persuade me. You represent my mother's family. Maybe he will listen to my mother's family's opinions."

Yang Ruoqing also smiled while listening to their conversation.

"We will try to persuade him together later. I believe that Uncle Xiang is a sensible person and will understand that by recovering from his injuries as soon as possible, he will lighten the burden on his children."

…

After lunch, Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua left with satisfaction.

She got on the carriage and lowered the curtain of the carriage. As the carriage was driving on the road, Xiaohua said to Yang Ruoqing: "Sister, he must have listened to what we advised Uncle Xiang earlier, right? I saw that he was sitting on the bed and listening.

Nod, your attitude is very good!"

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's hard to say. Maybe he was persuaded by us at that time. Maybe he can endure not drinking for three to five days, but if he doesn't drink for a long time, his perseverance will have to be tested. This is not an easy task."

For men, smoking and drinking are addictive.

This kind of addiction is not only the long-term penetration of nicotine and alcohol into the body's mechanism, but also the dependence on the mental level.

Drinking to relieve sorrow and smoking to burn away loneliness are all men's sentiments, aren't they?

Especially for a man like the cattle dealer who has been dealing with tobacco and alcohol all his life, it is very difficult for him to completely quit drinking.

Whether he wants legs or wine, no one else can decide for him, the key is his own choice.

After the Xiang family saw off their parents, Shengnan turned around and went into the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

"You were exhausted from cooking such a large table earlier. You go and take a rest, and I'll take care of it."

Xiaoduo couldn't bear it and pulled Sheng Nan away.

Katsuo smiled and put the apron around his neck, "As long as you take good care of Jiaojiao, you have done the most important thing. The work in the kitchen is not tiring for me at all. Come in quickly!"

Katsuo turned around and went into the kitchen, humming a song, washing pots and dishes.

Xiaoduo also smiled sincerely, turned around and walked towards the main room.

Father Xiang stood at the door of the hall with a cane in his hand, staring at every move at the door of the kitchen with a tigerish face.

Seeing Xiaoduo coming this way, Father Xiang stood in the middle of the hall door with his cane.

Xiaoduo was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at his father-in-law in confusion.

Father Xiang said with a dark face: "My wife Shengnan and I raised Shengnan. This boy has never been in the kitchen for so many years. My wife, you have the ability to train a big man so well!"

Why does Xiaoduo feel uncomfortable hearing this?

"Dad, are you praising me or criticizing me? Please forgive my daughter-in-law for being stupid and not being able to understand clearly," Xiaoduo said.

Father Xiang smiled strangely, "I wouldn't dare to criticize your daughter-in-law even if I gave you a hundred courages. No matter who she is, if you don't like it, just turn around and complain to your mother's family, file a complaint, and ask your mother's family to come over and help lobby.

I can’t afford to offend, I can’t afford to offend!”

Father Xiang shook his head as he spoke, walked into the house on crutches, and went to the cattle dealer's house.

Xiaoduo was left standing alone at the door of the hall, confused.

Recalling his last words, the more I thought about it, the more I realized there was something in it.

Asking your mother-in-law to come over as lobbyists? This...could it be referring to the time when the former sister and Xiaohua persuaded the uncle not to drink while he was recovering from his injuries?

Wanting to understand this, Xiaoduo was furious.

At that moment, he also went to the cattle dealer's house, "Uncle, have you rested? I have something to do with you."

Then the cattle dealer's voice came from the room: "It's not a break, Duo'er, come in."

Xiaoduo entered the house. The cattle dealer was sitting on the bed as usual, and Father Xiang was sitting on the stool beside the bed.

Seeing Xiaoduo come in, Xiang's father snorted and turned his head to the side.

Xiaoduo ignored Xiang's father and went straight to the bed.

"Uncle, I have to explain something clearly to you." Xiao Duo said.

The cattle dealer looked at Xiaoduo kindly: "Whatever it is, just tell me. Come, sit down and talk."

Xiaoduo shook his head: "I can just stand and say it."

"Uncle, when my mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to visit you for your leg injury, they talked about drinking. Yes, it was indeed them who asked me about your recovery before, so I said a few things."

"Whether it's me telling them that you haven't completely abstained from alcohol, or them advising you to toast when chatting with you, we sincerely care about you and hope that your injury will heal soon. We don't have any other meaning.

Please don’t misunderstand.”

Hearing Xiaoduo's words, the cattle dealer subconsciously looked at Shengnan's father sitting beside him, and the smile on his face faded a bit.

Shengnan's father also knew that the cattle dealer was sizing him up, so he raised his head and said confidently: "In the past, your uncle drank three bottles of wine a day, but now he only drinks one cup a day. Are you going to say this too?"

"You don't drink. You don't know what wine means to a man. What's wrong with drinking one cup a day? I didn't stop drinking when I was sick. Isn't this how I still live well?"

Xiaoduo frowned and turned around to argue with Father Xiang: "This is what the doctor said. The doctor said that my uncle is taking medicine. During the medicine, he must abstain from alcohol and eat as little spicy food as possible."

"What did the doctor say?" Xiang's father pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled strangely, "If you believe the doctor on everything, then you can't eat anything, you can't drink anything, and you're afraid of choking if you drink the northwest wind!"

Xiaoduo was so angry that she blushed, "Dad, how can you say that? We are all doing it for my uncle's good, why are you saying the opposite? When my uncle's legs and feet were strong in the past, he could go wherever he wanted, in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, whatever he liked.
