Now that Xia Huai is here, the two mothers are happy to vacate their seats and let the two sisters-in-law work together to get the two tables of dishes.

There are a lot of guests today, a dozen in total, and I plan to divide into two tables to eat.

"I've already put all the ingredients for the soup, just boil it for another half an hour, you two look at the fire." Before leaving the kitchen, Gu Ning told them.

The sister-in-law responded, Xia Huai casually lifted the lid of the soup pot, and a strong fragrance gushed out, "Wow, it's so fragrant!" This is chicken soup, look carefully, there are angelica, codonopsis and red dates in it, and the boiling soup is quite rich.

"It's more fragrant when you drink it. Godmother Ye Qiao smiled, and put a small piece of pig bone into it.

She has washed the vegetables and fruits, brought them out, and put the rest in the kitchen to wait for the chef to play freely. When the two elders went out, Xia Huai rubbed his hands and volunteered that he could host a table.

Someone took the initiative to help, and Luo Qingyu was of course happy to hear it. She hid in the kitchen because she didn't want to see the numbers of different lengths on the Xia family's foreheads, it didn't mean that she liked to cook, and it was best if someone was willing to share it.

If Xia Huai doesn't come, then her mother will be her partner, or call Brother Nian in to help. Xia Huai can come, although this girl has more than enough heart and less strength, but it is better than nothing.

......

The two girls were busy, and their other half was not idle.

The two of them observed and discussed in the courtyard, and felt that eating at two tables was too boring and inconvenient to communicate. Wouldn't it be more friendly to set up a rectangular table and let everyone sit at one table?

So, the two went to the warehouse and took out two rectangular tables and put them together, and then laid them out with a primary-colored tablecloth.

The young people are busy, the second child of the Xia family and the elders have a tacit understanding, but the fourth child is not. He likes to pick thorns, so he sneaked out of the living room to the kitchen to see what was going on, and saw his little sister practicing throwing a pot and stir-frying.

"No, no, no, it's easy for you to throw the pot like this, you know? Luo Xiaomei shook her head with a sigh, and when she saw Xia Huai's depressed face, she comforted, "Don't mind, you are at least stronger than your brothers......"

"Hey, nonsense, have you ever seen it?" Fourth Brother Xia smiled angrily, entered the kitchen unconvinced, and rolled up his sleeves, "It's obvious that you women have little strength, even if she practices for a few more years, she will be like a bird." You two go and watch me. ”

“......”

The two girls were startled by him first, and then silently stepped aside and began to watch Fourth Brother Xia show his skills.

Second Brother Xia saw that Robin and Nong Bonian were busy in the courtyard, so he went out to see what needed to be done. The two sisters-in-law were not interested in the conversation of the elders, and when they saw that there were fewer and fewer young people in the living room, they couldn't help but go out to find out.

In the courtyard, a long table is set up, and the table top is placed with vases at intervals. There are small wildflowers and a rose picked in the mountain in the bottle, there are not enough flowers, all kinds of grass come together, full of green, and it looks very pleasing to the eye.

Then I looked at the kitchen -

"Wow, the fourth brother is so amazing! So you know how to stir-fry? Why don't I know?" Xia Huai was pleasantly surprised, and his admiring expression made his brother feel a sense of accomplishment.

"I learned it when I was chasing your sister-in-law!" Fourth Brother Xia looked stunned, "She said that I can't cook, and I'm afraid that I will make his daughter suffer in the future, so I won't let her marry ......me."

When he was young and vigorous, he found a cook to teach him, and of course, after marrying someone, the family stir-fry work was handed over to his wife. So every time the husband and wife quarreled, the fourth sister-in-law had to scold him for cheating on marriage, but unfortunately it was already a boat.

It's impossible to leave, a little thing, you can't do it, just ask a housekeeper to come back. Both of them have jobs, they are not old, they have a certain financial ability, and they can afford it.

Speaking of the past, Fourth Brother Xia was deeply touched, and simply cooked the dishes he had learned before for the two sisters to observe. Although the ingredients are different, the methods are the same, and the stir-fry project is unconsciously packaged.

Two sisters-in-law who eat melons:

"The fourth child has a ...... brain" I don't know what to say.

"Hey, simple-minded, and showy, he deserves to be instructed. ”

Xia's mother, who was worried that her daughter was thinner than Huanghua in the kitchen, couldn't help but sneak into the kitchen to take a look. As a result, the two girls became cheerful food deliverers, and their sons were busy in the kitchen.

Xia Mu: "......"

This stupid son, it's good to be so diligent at home.

That's it, the two tables of dishes were handled by Chef Xia alone, and when it was over, he took the wet towel handed over by the Luo family's sister to wipe his sweat, and said proudly:

"See, this kind of strength, you can't practice it for a lifetime. ”

"Uh-huh," Luo Qingyu nodded vigorously and gave a thumbs up to Fourth Brother Xia, "It's much more powerful than my brother." ”

Sincerely, my brother and brother Nian are good physique that have been trained since childhood. And Xia Huai said that her elder brothers, except for the eldest and second, the third and fourth have never exercised, and it is really rare to have today's physical strength.

As for herself, haha, mortals don't compare with her, and their open life is not explained. Even if you win, you won't be able to win, and you'll be ashamed.

In short, everyone enjoyed the guests and hosts today, and the Xia family came with a lot of hearts and left relaxed and happy.

The original worries of the Xia family's parents have faded a lot after today. finally opened up to his future son-in-law, Robin, and officially treated him as his own.

However, they still refused to give up their persuasion of him, hoping that he would quit his job and become an executive in the Xia family's company.

Brother Luo took a firm stand and gave them the same answer.

Seeing that his girl was in love with him and resolutely refused to give up, the Xia family was helpless, so they had to follow them and concentrate on planning the wedding of the two.

......

On the night the Xia family left, Nong Bonian received a phone call and was picked up by a car late that night. As she left, it was raining for the first time of the year outside, and he wouldn't let her get to the intersection.

Luo Qingyu stood under the eaves at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the vehicles that disappeared into the night, stunned.

Due to the rain, the four Wang did not patrol the mountain and stood at the door with her for a long time. The three big cats had no conscience and slept soundly in the nest in the living room with the little milk cats.

There is an advantage to having more hairy children at home, and it becomes easy to pass the time with them when they are lonely.

Of course, there are also many disadvantages, first of all, it is ruined, and too many hairy children can eat up the small money of the shovel official. The second is to do hygiene, to prevent them from causing damage, and to endure their howling and screaming at night in the spring.

The mountain path from Dead Wood Ridge to my parents has been paved with stone roads, and several small bridges shaped like rough wood have been built.

In addition, Luo Dad and Nong Dad want to raise a few dogs, so they don't have to buy them outside, so they will arrest Ah Wang and Ah Cai from Dead Wood Ridge for breeding this year. Adopt their children in the future, so that prosperity and wealth will not be painful.

These things are worried about by their parents, and Luo Qingyu does not interfere.

When she saw that Brother Nian had left, and there was no need to do alchemy, she issued a "retreat" warning in her circle of friends, and then went to Danlu Mountain to practice.

Every New Year's wish is related to lifting the 20-ton furnace lid, and I hope it can be realized this year.
