When it was close to noon, Xia Youcun came back with a large number of ingredients, and as soon as he entered the door, he politely said hello to Zhou Shanshan and Li Lan.

"Knowing that you are coming today, Shufen asked me to go to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy some fresh vegetables and chicken, duck and fish meat, which is not tossed until now.... Don't be restrained, make this your home. ”

Xia Chen looked at his sweaty father and didn't even bother to take a sip of water and began to greet the guests, and immediately stepped forward to take the ingredients in his hand and put them in the kitchen.

There are a lot of ingredients, just a stack of vegetables is piled up a lot, and there are fish, shrimp and crabs that are running around, and the richness has caught up with the food of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and it seems that the parents have not lost their blood in order to entertain their aunt and cousin.

However, some people don't know how to be grateful at all, but insist on sticking gold on their faces, Li Lan looked at Xia Youcun and pursed his mouth, "Uncle, my mother and I finally came here, if you don't say invite us to go to the big hotel to rub it, then you can't be so cold that you can make a table at home to deal with it, and I will call you uncle." ”

"Xiaolan, you can't be so rude!" Zhou Shanshan scolded her daughter, although her face showed a look of displeasure, but obviously everyone could see that she was just pretending, she sneered, "Why is my brother-in-law so troublesome and has to cook it himself, we don't pick the ground, you just arrange a restaurant to deal with it." ”

The implication is that it seems to have acquiesced to his daughter's words, which made Xia Youcun extremely embarrassed, he bought all the dishes back, and he couldn't return them, and he was gossiped about, and his feelings were in vain early in the morning.

Xia Chen was a little dumbfounded, and said indifferently: "This is all my father's kindness, forget if you are not grateful, don't be so cynical." ”

"Cousin, I'm just talking about things, what do you mean by cynicism...... Forget it, knowing the situation of your family, I will ask Sunan to book a restaurant for me outside, and then I can go out to eat. Li Lan muttered unconvinced, got up and walked to the side to make a phone call.

Zhou Shanshan was displeased, and said to Xia Chen: "How old are you, don't lose your temper like a child, Xiaolan is still young, you should take on more responsibilities, besides, what she said is right." ”

She's a 20-year-old girl, so it's time to know how to speak!

Xia Chen wanted to refute a few words, but he saw Zhou Shufen on the side with a strong look, and Xia Youcun pulled him aside intentionally or unintentionally.

"You, don't be like them, after all, they are all relatives, and if it's unpleasant, it's your mother who is sad. ”

Okay, I'll see how much they can get.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Chen nodded at his father, and said in his heart that he understood.

Li Lan hung up the phone after chatting for a long time, although she hadn't spoken yet, it was not difficult to see from the happy look on her face that things were going well.

"Sunan said that he had booked a private room in a big hotel and would drive to pick us up in a while. ”

"It's still my son-in-law who is sensible. As Zhou Shanshan spoke, her eyes glanced at Xia Chen intentionally or unintentionally, and Xia Chen could see her small action that no one had noticed.

I haven't even skimmed the eight characters, so I called my son-in-law and son-in-law, I know that you are a snob, don't be so deliberate, and what do you mean by this look, do you mean that I am not sensible?

Xia Chen has tried his best to control his emotions, but he finds that every time he just suppresses the unhappiness in his heart, there are always people who want to fan the flames, but he is afraid that this fire will not burn strong enough.

The original scheduled hospitality at home now seems to be unnecessary, Xia Youcun and Zhou Shufen glanced at each other, and a wry smile appeared on their faces one after another.

Zhou Shanshan seemed to think that her superiority was not enough, so she pulled Zhou Shufen and said pretendly: "Let's go with my sister and the whole family in a while, Sunan's private room is big enough, the three of us here are not lively, we will have a companion when we go together, by the way, I will introduce you to the child Sunan, maybe I will ask him to help Xia Chen arrange work." ”

When it came to this, Xia Youcun and Zhou Shufen were embarrassed to refuse, so they could only agree with a smile.

About half an hour later, Li Lan's mobile phone rang, and the call was from Sunan, which roughly meant that he was already at the door.

Li Lan was naturally happy like a child, said a few words to Zhou Shanshan, and ran out of the door alone.

"Let's go, let's go out too, don't keep that kid waiting too long. Zhou Shanshan said, took Zhou Shufen's arm and walked outside the house, looking at this courteous appearance, people who don't know still think that they are a pair of sisters with excellent feelings.

"Let's go!" Xia Youcun shook his head with a sigh, he always has to come, he can't hide, he will lose face today, but let Xia Chen lose face with him, to be honest, he is very uncomfortable in his heart, but what can he do......

His father's expression was presented in Xia Chen's eyes, and at this moment, Xia Chen also knew what he should do next.

Outside the house, an Audi A3 was parked on the side of the road, Li Lan was chatting with a young man in full swing, if she hadn't seen her mother come out, she would have even wanted to continue chatting.

After a brief introduction, Sunan said with a strange expression: "Auntie, you see that my car can only seat 4 people at most, and I'm afraid that people here can't sit down at one time." ”

"Look at my brain, I should scold!" Zhou Shanshan patted her head, turned her head to look at Zhou Shufen and said apologetically: "Sister, you think it's not like this, your family will take a taxi and follow behind, I heard Sunan say that the hotel is quite far away from here, and I'm afraid I won't be able to walk ......"

The fox is starting to show its tail!

Xia Chen sneered in his heart, he didn't believe that his aunt didn't know that he didn't have a car at home, this was deliberately to see something wrong in their family.

"It's okay, let's take a taxi and follow, you and Xiaolan take his car, we'll follow." Xia Youcun smiled honestly, and planned to call a taxi outside the community.

"Dad, don't bother, I have a car, I'll drive it." ”

Xia Chen naturally won't let his father really call a car, wouldn't this be in the hands of others, if you want to pretend to be forced, I'll play with you, even if your car is not a luxury car, but it's enough to dump you.

"Xiao Xia, you are still so fond of joking, are you planning to rent a car at this time? Zhou Shanshan sneered, she didn't take his words seriously at all, and thought that Xia Chen was going to rent a car to act as a façade, but renting and buying are two different concepts.

"Who said I'm going to rent it?" Xia Chen smiled slightly, "I've been buying this car for a few days, but I've been too busy lately, and I forgot to mention it to my parents, they don't know it's normal, wait, I'll go to the garage and drive it." ”

Okay, I'll see how you pretend!

Zhou Shanshan and Li Lan coincided in their hearts, and waited with great interest to see Xia Chen make jokes.
