My elders invited me for my birthday. What should I do with the dining table?

1. I don't think you need to say anything at the dinner table at that time. They must have a lot to say to you. So by that time, you just need to be patient and tell them right away! If they have nothing to say to you, you can try to say something grateful and then say something reassuring to them.

2. Toast is definitely a must. They must be your elders, so you should respect them one by one. But I think it's all old-fashioned. They are more experienced than you, so they will pay you back. At this time, you should pay attention to: (1) No matter whether you respect them or they respect you, you should pay attention to the fact that your glass mouth cannot exceed that of your elders. Explain that your cup must be lower than the cup held by your elders. If the distance is too far, when toasting, raise the cup and tap the table with the bottom of the cup. Holding the glass very low means the same thing, and all drinkers should know this rule. (2) When the elder pours wine for you, or when you pour wine for the elder, be sure to pick up the cup with both hands. Then return the cup with both hands. If the elders poured it for you, you should offer it with both hands. But it is best to take the cup from the elder when you see it is empty. (3) I don't think I need to say this, that is, don't fight with your elders, don't care how much you drink, and don't care how much your elders drink. I think it was very casual at that time, so you must never say who was drunk. (the premise is that you can't drink too much. You have to stay seven minutes drunk and three minutes awake to cope with the later situation. As for what to say, you have to improvise, because the plan will never keep up with the change. Anyway, all you have to say is gratitude

3. If your elders say they want to propose a toast to you, and if you think your drinking capacity is ok, then you should do nothing first. If you can't drink, just say that you have difficulties, and ask your elders not to embarrass you. I think if you say this, no elder will force you to drink again, but if you drink with your elders, there will basically be no toast, and you will basically drink at will. There must be a lot to say. Then you're not fighting for wine, you're saying goodbye, so you're basically talking. As for what you need to improvise, but thank you, someone else's elders must have come to give you a farewell dinner. You should thank them.

If you don't want them to worry about you, you can say that you don't have to worry about me. I will take care of myself and do well in the army. I won't let you down. I'll call you when I have the chance. But don't say that I am not a child, because in their eyes you will always be a child.

The most useful thing is health and happiness if you like. So you can say: take care of yourself, don't be too tired, and pay more attention to rest. Then, if you are healthy and happy every day, don't think these words are old-fashioned, but they are the most practical and useful. What can compare with having a good figure? What can compare with being happy every day? What did you say?/Sorry? Finally, you can take what you said at the dinner table and say that you don't have to worry about me, pay more attention to yourselves, I will take good care of myself and call you as soon as I have the chance. That's all.

According to your situation, you certainly won't have the opportunity to speak on your own initiative. Basically, your elders will give you something. You just need to talk to them patiently.

I hope my answer can help you, thank you! I wish you good health and all the best, and make them proud of you.
