Chapter 408 City People Are So particular

Ever since Wang Xiulan was lectured by her mother-in-law, she has been like a child who has done something wrong. She has been muttering something on the way here. Now she was left in tears by the eldest brother's smile.

I was thankful that there were not two tables, otherwise, whoever saw the eldest daughter's smile would wonder if it was because her mother was too harsh on her and that she was so happy after getting married. It was probably because she was expressing her true feelings and was no longer pretending, celebrating that she had finally escaped from this home and got rid of her mother's clutches.

When the girl wasn't paying attention, I twisted her butt and quietly warned her to be more restrained. What was she trying to do by laughing so happily? Did she want to go back to her parents' home in the future?

My mother's little trick was still discovered by Luo's mother, who was staring at her daughter-in-law. Seeing the eldest sister covering her butt with a confused look on her face, Luo's mother's face was full of joy. She pulled Wang Xiulan and started to get close to her.

Sighing and tentatively saying that a son is no longer under the control of his mother, the youngest son is a typical example of someone who forgets his mother after getting married, and he looks like he wants to form an alliance, but unfortunately Wang Xiulan doesn't seem to understand...

The eldest sister's new house is in the yard next to the second sister's. It is the one that Director Wang said the leader called to ask to stay. The conditions are much better than the second sister's. It has two main rooms that are similar to the two rooms of Sha Zhu.

Luo's father is quite capable. A few days ago, Luo Zhenghao came home with a betrothal gift of 100 yuan and said that it was all his salary. He meant that his parents were still struggling with how much to give, so in order to avoid any accidents, he would pay for it first.

Zhang Xingwang was shocked, mainly because of the bicycle that came as a dowry. After much persuasion, Zhang Xingwang only asked for 20 yuan.

The next day, the eldest sister came back with a message, saying that the Zhang family gave the bicycle as a dowry, and the Luo family couldn't lose face, so Luo's father gritted his teeth and bought a watch for the eldest sister that was 80% new. This operation made the fourth sister almost drop her jaw, and she said that her brother was very talented and had the ability of an ancient strategist.

The wedding was over. I declined Luo's father's invitation to have dinner together, and called the three aunts who were helping to clean up the bridal chamber. Together they waited for my mother to finish instructing my eldest sister, and then the family returned to the courtyard in a mighty procession.

The yard was bustling at the moment. Having learned from Bang Geng's last lesson, Xu Damao had become smarter. He prepared a simple yet generous meal for the table. Among the eight dishes, there were two meat dishes and a meat bone soup. It seemed that his recent trip to the countryside was not in vain.

This guy knows how to behave. In order to prevent the children from making trouble, he gives each child in the yard two steamed buns made of 2 grams of flour. Anyway, Xu Damao doesn't mind this.

Yan Bugui was invited to collect gifts, and Liu Haizhong, an 80% new uncle, was the on-site commander. People were sitting very straight at the table. If it weren't for the chopsticks placed there before the New Year, the scene would have been no different from a congress.

Liu Haizhong's eyes were roaming around, and when a dish was served, he would stand up and say a few words in an official tone. He would only start eating after everyone had applauded.

What he said should have been auspicious words prepared in advance, but Liu Haizhong's level has improved by leaps and bounds this time. Not only did he speak without a script, he didn't even stutter. One can tell from his voice that he has been working hard secretly behind the scenes.

Every time he finished speaking, he would invite everyone to start eating. The dishes would basically be finished the moment he finished speaking. The atmosphere was so weird yet harmonious.

Banggeng, who was waiting for an opportunity, had a lot of skills but no place to use them. He could only follow the crowd like other children and be fed by Jia Dongxu, who then caught the food with his hands and ate it with steamed buns.

When Zhang Xingwang and his family came back, the banquet in the courtyard was already coming to an end. Ever since the experience of Yan Jiecheng's banquet, the family members had lost interest in banquets. The three aunts were quite interested, thinking that city people were very particular and there were so many rules for having a banquet.

Xu Damao came early with Cheng Pingping. Today Xu Damao was dressed very respectably and made eyes to let him look at the kitchen. Zhang Xingwang burst out laughing when he saw it. Needless to say, Sha Zhu was busy in the kitchen. He didn't know how this guy managed to let Sha Zhu be the chef. He remembered that this guy borrowed ten dollars from him when his family was in the most difficult time.

Zhang Xingwang looked at Cheng Pingping, who lived up to her name, and thought that finding a worker like her might be able to really restrain Xu Damao. He sincerely wished her a son soon and took out ten yuan and gave it to her.

Looking at Xu Damao who looked confused, he whispered that he was afraid that others would think too much if they knew. Then he turned around and went to Yan Bugui who was writing down the gift list. He put down one dollar before returning to the table.

During the period, Yan Bugui took the opportunity to express his gratitude verbally, saying that he had taken Yan Jiecheng to see a doctor, who said that the hardware problem was not serious and that the main thing was to relieve the psychological pressure. Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui thought about how many times he had already done psychological relief.

But the daughter-in-law didn't think so. If the problem wasn't big, then there was a problem. Anyway, that wasn't Yan Jiecheng's specialty, and a little more or less wouldn't make much difference to her. She insisted on dragging the crying Yan Jiecheng into the operating room. The guy is still practicing the duck walk at home.

Zhang Xingwang had just sat down and smoked half a cigarette when Sha Zhu finished his work and came to the table. Looking at the empty plate on the table and Xu Damao's smug look, he poured himself a glass of wine and casually said that he had saved some food in the kitchen.

He sat upright, put on airs and asked Xu Damao and his wife to thank the chef according to the rules. He drank a glass of wine that Xu Damao toasted him with a roll of his eyes, and smiled as if he had won a battle. After the toast was over, everyone left one after another.

However, Sha Zhu was careless in the end. He had not taken into account the third aunt who helped in the kitchen. When he came back with an empty stomach, the third aunt had already trotted home. There was not even a crumb of steamed bun left, let alone the dishes he had left.

It was already past dinner time, and the old couple and the aunts had originally planned to take a rest and then return to the village early. But after entering the house, they heard the little girl say happily:

"My brother told grandma and aunt to finish their meal before leaving. He put some delicious food in the kitchen..."

When Zhang Xingwang came back, he found his mother struggling with the goose in the kitchen, his grandmother standing at the door with her head covered and giving orders remotely, and the rest of the people chatting, but their eyes were unconsciously staring at the kitchen...

When the old lady saw Zhang Xingwang coming back, she suddenly became energetic and said angrily:

"No wonder you said you wanted to go to the toilet alone when you left, Xingwang. Even if you have something delicious, you shouldn't eat it like this. Eating a chicken and a goose for one meal, what do you think?"

My mother also poked her head out from the kitchen, stared at me and said:

"That's right, how could you do that? The goose and chicken have been blanched. They can't be left out in such hot weather. If you want to eat them, you can just eat half a chicken. Did the goose provoke you? Didn't mom tell you to save the food for Xiaoya when she comes back? Why didn't you listen?"

The three aunts also came up and lectured Zhang Xingwang, drooling unconsciously as they lectured. It was obvious that they hadn't eaten meat for a while. Even his second uncle and cousin gave him a look that said he didn't know how to live.
