Chapter Seventy-One, Unhappiness
Mei Lan said this on purpose.
When she entered the door, Mei Lan found that Yang Hongmei glanced at the clothes of these people, and secretly pursed her lips, and besides, she deliberately made such a fancy and grand dress today, didn't she just want to compare the people on the Deng family's side?
Actually, Mei Lan also expected this situation today, she originally wanted to wait for a few days to take them to buy a few clothes and then come to meet Wang Limin and Yang Hongmei, but she didn't expect Deng Jianwen to pick everyone up early in the morning to go to his house for the holiday, and it was obviously too late to buy clothes temporarily, so the three of them had to wear the old clothes before to come to the door.
"Yes, yes, you see how good Xiao Wu's grandmother's bracelet is, it's better than my water head, it's not the same, you get what you pay for, old lady, let your granddaughter buy you another good jade pendant, it's discounted today, it can be a lot cheaper." Yang Hongmei enthusiastically pulled the jade bracelet on Zhou Guizhi's wrist compared to hers, praised Zhou Guizhi's bracelet as a serious good thing, and praised Meilan's filial piety.
What does that mean? Did you misunderstand the other party?
Mei Lan looked at Yang Hongmei, who praised herself as a flower, she was really a little uncomfortable, but she quickly came back to her senses, Yang Hongmei didn't want to show off her wealth in front of Mei Lan, but wanted to borrow some light from Mei Lan, she also wanted to buy a good jade pendant, but Wang Limin didn't give money.
Yang Hongmei knew from Wang Sisi's mouth that Mei Lan gave her uncle a Tiguan of 300,000 yuan, and planned to take out 500,000 yuan to build a new house in her hometown.
Otherwise, it really can't be explained, Mei Lan can come up with a million so lightly?
After all, no matter how well the stock is done, it is impossible for someone to go from a few thousand dollars to millions in just over half a year.
Therefore, Wang Sisi told her parents about her guess, Yang Hongmei was amazed and envious, and at the same time, she thought that Deng Jianwu was also Mei Lan's uncle, and this uncle gave a car of 300,000 yuan, this uncle can't be too little, right?
Therefore, she can also rest assured that she can rub some oil from her daughter and son-in-law.
But Deng Jianwu naturally understood his mother-in-law's intentions, so as soon as Yang Hongmei's words were finished, Deng Jianwu said to Mei Lan: "Your feet are not good enough to walk, what kind of street are you going to go shopping at this time?" ”
"Lan Lan's feet are not good yet, I think she just walked in?" Yang Hongmei hurriedly asked, because Deng Jianwu said it in Mandarin, and she also understood.
"I can't exert myself now, I can't walk for a long time, I'm sorry, grandma, I can't go shopping with you." Mei Lan replied with a grin.
"Alright, almost, let's go." Wang Sisi said.
She just casually mentioned Mei Lan's good luck to her parents, but she didn't plan to let her mother come to rob her again, she now has a lot of money, and she has to pay 100,000 yuan in sponsorship fees for her children to go to primary school in a year, so she has to prepare early?
"Where to eat?" Liu Qiaozhen saw that something was wrong.
This guest has been in the door for a long time, and no one has gone to the kitchen to cook.
"Mom, go to the restaurant to eat, my parents said, go to the restaurant to invite you, the family is too small to sit down." Wang Sisi explained.
"Let's go." Zhou Guizhi stood up first.
She couldn't sit still for a long time.
After coming for half a day, these two in-laws did not have a serious and enthusiastic appearance, although she didn't understand the slipper incident, but she also understood, and, at such an old age, dressed like a goblin, this will pull her to compare what bracelets, at first glance, it is not a person who is going through the days, otherwise the guests will not even cook a meal, go to the restaurant, and go to the restaurant is not her grandson's money?
Mei Lan naturally saw that the old lady was unhappy, and hurriedly helped Zhou Guizhi to put on her clothes and stood at the door waiting.
Deng Jianwu's restaurant is in a building next to his community, the first and second floors are restaurants, the third floor is a cinema, and the fifth floor is an office building, because the people of the Wang family don't eat chili peppers, the three elders of the Deng family can't eat chili peppers, Mei Lan's hands are not good, and they can't eat spicy food, so this time I went to a Huaiyang restaurant, the host is as easy as the guests, Wang Limin and Yang Hongmei handed the menu to the three old people.
Mei Lan wanted to take it too late, and sure enough, the three old men looked at the prices on the menu, and their faces changed a little.
"Let's be in-law." Liu Qiaozhen sent the menu back.
No matter who paid for this meal, she couldn't bear it, it was too expensive, there were no dishes below twenty, ordinary dishes had to cost fifty or sixty, and many were hundreds, how dare she open her mouth?
Yang Hongmei took the menu, but she didn't refuse, and ordered a few big dishes very neatly, such as squirrel osmanthus fish, braised lion's head, gourd chicken, fried shrimp, pork ribs in sauce, and soybean pork knuckle.
"Mom, let's have a soup and a few vegetarian dishes." Wang Sisi heard that it was all meat, and said a word.
These days in the countryside, she knows that Zhou Guizhi and Deng Wenxiang's diet is relatively light, and there must be a leafy vegetable and soup at every meal.
When Yang Hongmei heard it, she and her son ordered everything they liked anyway, and the rest didn't matter, so she simply gave the menu to Deng Jianwu.
Deng Jianwu ordered a casserole fish head tofu, a vegetarian stir-fried choy sum, a boiled dried shredded and a shrimp tea fragrant egg puree, and wanted to choose two more, Liu Qiaozhen hurriedly asked: "Is it enough?" ”
"Sister-in-law, there are so many of us, their men still have to drink some wine, these are only a few dishes, how can we?" Yang Hongmei understood this sentence.
"A salted duck, a dish of meat, and two cold dishes are almost the same." Wang Limin spoke.
When Deng Jianwu heard this, he ordered a few more dishes and a few snacks according to his words.
"What kind of wine?" Yang Hongmei asked.
"Come to a bottle of white, I have a few drinks with my eldest brother, this opportunity is too rare, you two have been married for so many years, and our brothers have only sat together." Wang Limin said.
"My dad doesn't drink much, and he's not in good health." Deng Jianwu said busily.
Deng Wenxiang is indeed not very good at drinking, and his blood pressure is also high.
"Then you have to drink a little, this New Year's Day, the Lantern Festival, the reunion festival, let's get together together, it's not easy."
"What do the sister-in-law and the old lady drink?" Yang Hongmei asked again.
"Let's have some hot cans of Lulu, they can't get used to anything else." Merlin spoke.
"Sister-in-law, you come to Beijing this time, you can stay for a while, and when Huhu has a summer vacation, I will take you to the Northeast to play around, I tell you, our hometown is old, there are many places to play, and the food is good, alas, Mom, I tell you, our salmon over there, so big and long, old and delicious, by the way, and our Northeast ginseng and deer antlers, that thing can be supplemented, use it to make wine for the eldest brother, I tell you, I don't have a cold in winter." Yang Hongmei sat next to Liu Qiaozhen, and it was not appropriate not to speak.
It's just that after this long story, Liu Qiaozhen didn't understand a word except for seeing her spitting around.
"Grandma, this Huhu's grandmother said that she would invite you to their house to play, and they have ginseng and deer antler velvet and other good things." Mei Lan translated it in Jiangxi-style Mandarin, so that both sides could roughly understand it.
"Yes, yes, you're welcome to our place." Although Liu Qiaozhen is a countryman, she also knows how to come and not be rude.
"No, I heard Sisi say, you are going to build a new house this year, she is still looking for drawings for you in the past two days, when you build a house, we must go over to see, we haven't been to the south, I heard that the scenery of Jinggang Mountain and Lushan is good, I look at the photos of Sisi and Huhu, it's like a fairyland."
Mei Lan was really tired from eating this meal, Wang Limin and Yang Hongmei showed extraordinary enthusiasm at the dinner table, one of the men urged to drink, the other of the women bragged, and Mei Lan had to keep helping both sides translate.
In the end, the Northeast did not decide when to go, but set to go to Jinggangshan at the eleventh time.
When checking out, Wang Sisi was busy packing, the waiter came over with the bill, Wang Limin was still boasting to Deng Wenxiang that he used to do business in the Northeast, and later, because Sisi wanted to have a child, no one looked at the child, and the couple had to give up their hometown and come to Beijing to help their daughter and son-in-law take care of the child.
Deng Jianwu saw that Wang Limin had no intention of settling the bill, so he took the initiative to ask to pay, because he knew that Yang Hongmei usually did not have money on her.
Zhou Guizhi and Liu Qiaozhen looked at it, and naturally they were a little displeased, obviously saying that this meal was invited by Sisi's parents, but it turned out to be Deng Jianwu's money, and it was a lot of money, spending 1,002.
Mei Lan also doesn't understand, why are Wang Limin and Yang Hongmei so stingy? In her impression, people in the Northeast should be very righteous, such as Zhang Jing, for example, the old lady Mei Lan met as a nurse last year, and they gave Mei Lan more than 100 yuan.
But this is good, no matter what should be paid or not, it will not be paid.
Thinking about it this way, Mei Lan's heart is a little more balanced, and she dares to be partial to her parents, regardless of whether she is biological or not, such as Wang Sisi's parents, in order to save money for their son to buy a house, are now about to catch up with the iron rooster.
It's not quite accurate to say that the iron rooster should be a sugar rooster, not only does not give a penny to others, but also gets something back from someone else's hands.
But no matter how partial you are to your son, you can't disregard your daughter's face so much, right?
Mei Lan glanced at Wang Sisi, Wang Sisi didn't seem to react, probably she was used to it.
Coming out of the restaurant, Zhou Guizhi and the others didn't bother to go upstairs anymore, and directly asked Deng Jianwu to send everyone back to the rented place.
This meal is really a little panicked, in Zhou Guizhi's words, I have never seen such a shameless person, when you order food, it's like you don't want money, and you pretend to be stupid when you pay for it.
Dinner is Deng Jianwu and Liu Qiaozhen together to make a few simple vegetarian dishes, after the meal, Deng Jianwu took everyone to Chang'an Avenue for a turn, although there are no lanterns, but Chang'an Street on both sides of the decoration is beautiful, everywhere is Ambilight, everywhere is dazzling, Mei Lan helped Liu Qiaozhen, Deng Jianwu helped Zhou Guizhi, a few people wandered around Tiananmen Square for a while, took a few night scenes and came back.
