Chapter 254: Doubt (1)
When Qiduo went to the front yard of Tan's house, it hadn't eaten yet, and everyone was chatting.
Seeing Qiduo, Old Man Tan said gently, "It's just right that the seven girls are here, let's eat together." ”
"Grandpa, no, I'm here to call my father back." Qiduo shook his head slightly.
"What's wrong?" Xu asked hurriedly.
The others also looked at Qiduo, not knowing what was going on in her house.
Seeing that everyone looked nervous, Qiduo waved his hand with a busy smile, "Mother, don't be nervous, it's no big deal." It was when Gongzi Wen and Brother Xu were about to leave before, they happened to meet Brother Nan, they seemed to have something important to say, and the three of them made an appointment to eat barbecue meat in our backyard, so I came to call my father to go back, and they will come over later. ”
Although in the countryside, there is no big defense between men and women, and there is no special desire to avoid anything, but Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan are adults, and they are not their own brothers, so it is better to avoid them.
Be careful, it's always right not to leave anything to say.
Qiduo thanked Shen Nan now, if he hadn't proposed to come over to eat barbecue, it would not be good to say this matter so openly now.
Wen Xiuyi and they refused to stay with Old Man Tan, if Old Man Tan found out that they were eating barbecue in her backyard, Old Man Tan would definitely be unhappy, not only annoyed that Wen Xiuyi didn't give face, they couldn't say it, but also thought that she was making trouble from it.
And now it's different, Wen Xiuyi and they were originally going to leave, but because they had important things to discuss with Shen Nan, they stayed, not just for food.
In this way, Old Man Tan does not have to lose face. Even if it's a little upset. But it won't be blamed on the Qiduo family.
Zheng Wanru laughed when she heard this. "It turns out that Nan'er made an appointment with Wen Gongzi and them, no wonder it's almost dark today, and he came back. In the past, he didn't come back when the academy didn't go to class for a day, and I was wondering about it, and I was going to go back in the evening to ask, but now I know the reason. ”
Originally, I was still wondering why Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan agreed to come to the Zhao family for dinner, and why they suddenly changed their minds. It turned out that they were not going to come here to eat at all, and the promise was just an excuse to stay and hunt.
I think it was because the Zhao family was too enthusiastic at noon and frightened them, hehe!
And when he met Nan'er later, it was just a coincidence, his own son knew that he and Wen Xiuyi were not familiar enough to discuss important matters.
Qiduo's brain turned quickly, and he just took advantage of this coincidence to find the most appropriate excuse for Wen Xiuyi and them to stay, without hurting Old Man Tan's face. and don't let people think that Wen Xiuyi is rude.
However, Wen Xiuyi seems to have been coming a little frequently lately. It seems that the seven flowers are a little different, what is this for?
Thinking of this, Zheng Wanru's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and her good impression of Wen Xiuyi disappeared a lot.
Qiduo looked at Zheng Wanru gratefully, with her words, her words were more credible.
"Yes, aunt, Gongzi Wen and Brother Xu were happy for a while, and they almost forgot their appointment with Brother Nan, so they came to grandma's place for dinner in the evening. Later, I remembered it, so I was in a hurry to leave, but I didn't expect Brother Nan to hear that they were here, so he rushed back, and just happened to meet them. Qiduo smiled and echoed Zheng Wanru's words.
The two sang and sang together tacitly, and the lie was very true.
Liulang was confused when he heard it beside him, he didn't hear Brother Nan mention this matter at all, and when he saw Wen Gongzi and them before, he didn't say anything about eating barbecue.
What the hell is going on?
However, he was full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't miss half a sentence, just listened quietly.
Old Man Tan said, "Seven girls, you save trouble, let Brother Nan come here with Gongzi Wen and Xu Shaodong's family, there are many people." ”
Zheng Wanru smiled and waved her hand, "Old man, you don't have to worry about this matter, they young people have young people's affairs, let them toss in the backyard." However, it is better to annoy Brother Tan to mention it on the side, so that Brother Nan will not be rude. ”
Seeing her say this, Old Man Tan nodded and said yes, saying that he would send a few dishes later.
Kang Jin was also a little nervous, and he really wanted to go to the backyard to eat barbecue with everyone, which was definitely happier than eating with a group of elders.
But he is a petite, but Old Man Tan said that this meal was made for him, where can he leave, he can only move his thoughts in his heart.
When Tan Dejin got up and was about to leave, Liulang also stood up and said to Old Man Tan, "Grandpa, I'll go back too, Brother Nan takes good care of me in the academy on weekdays, and my grandson has never been able to repay him." Now that Brother Nan has come to my house for dinner, he is a distinguished guest, and I should be waiting on the side. ”
said very decently and sensibly, Old Man Tan happily hugged him, "Okay, good, good boy, thank you for your kindness, worthy of being the descendants of our old Tan family, go, not only Brother Nan, Wen Gongzi and Xu Shaodong's family, they are all distinguished guests, you also have to help your father entertain well, do you know?" ”
"Well, my grandson wrote it down." Liulang bowed respectfully to Old Man Tan.
Zheng Wanru smiled with satisfaction, "Have you noticed that in just a few months, Liulang has changed a lot, and now this style of speaking and acting has faintly the demeanor of everyone's son, and over time, Liulang will definitely have a great future." Old man, you are so blessed, you have such a good grandson. ”
"Where is it, Mrs. Shen has exaggerated, Liulang is still young, and there are still many things to learn in the future. However, close to Zhu Zhechi, now that Liulang is following behind Brother Nan, he is familiar with it, and it will not be too bad in the future, hehe. Old Man Tan responded modestly, but his eyes were full of smug smiles.
Well, Rokuro is a good kid who has earned face for the old man.
Second Aunt Kang looked at Mrs. Kang, and both of them smiled happily.
From Liulang's behavior, it can be seen that the family upbringing is excellent, Tan Dejin and the Xu family have contributed a lot, and they are in-laws, so what else is there to worry about.
Qiduo winked and smiled at Zheng Wanru, and then went home with Tan Dejin, Liulang, and Changsheng.
Zheng Wanru looked at the back of Qiduo leaving, and she was also embarrassed.
She is very happy to help Qiduo.
On the way home, Tan Dejin asked Qiduo what the hell was going on.
Qiduo told the truth. said that Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan were frightened by Zhao's enthusiasm. deliberately made an excuse to leave.
"Your grandmother is really too enthusiastic today. But it's better than having a cold face. "Tan Dejin defends for the Zhao family.
"Well, of course, enthusiasm is better than a cold face, but when Gongzi Wen and Brother Xu came to our house, they just wanted to be relaxed, and grandma would only let them be restrained." Seven flowers explained.
"That's right, by the way, are you ready for everything at home?" Tedkin asked.
"Hmm. It's all right, let's go back and take out the stove and put it in the yard. Qiduo nodded.
When a few people got home, they lit lanterns and hung them on the treetops, Liulang and Changsheng went to call Shen Nan, and Qiduo went to the kitchen to coat the marinated meat with seasonings and prepare to roast it in the oven.
Erxia and Liuju are on one stove and one under the stove, stir-fry a few plates of vegetables and clear soup, otherwise, they are all barbecued meat. It will get tiresome to eat.
Wait for the seven flowers to put the meat on bamboo skewers and prepare to serve it in the oven. Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan went and returned.
Xu Youxuan and Wen Xiuyi each carried a jar of wine in their hands.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm bothering again." Seeing Tan Dejin, Wen Xiuyi took the lead in stepping forward, bowed very politely, and handed him the wine in his hand, "Uncle, this is the bamboo leaf green that my senior brother has treasured for many years, and I specially asked for a jar to come over and give you a taste." ”
"Ah, I can't help it, Mr. Wen, you can come to the cold house for a light meal, then you can afford to look down on us." Tan Dejin hurriedly resigned.
"Make it." Xu Youxuan answered with a smile, and at the same time handed the wine in his hand to Tan Dejin, "Uncle, this is my family's home-brewed honey wine, it is sweet and delicious, and it won't be good to drink, give it to my aunt and a few sisters to taste." ”
Looking at the wine in Xu Youxuan's hand, Tan Dejin lost his mind for a moment.
The Xu family's honey wine, he once heard Xu say that when her mother was alive, she liked to drink this kind of honey wine the most, and under the influence of her mother, she also fell in love with the taste of honey wine.
Mingxiu hasn't drunk this kind of honey wine for more than ten years, alas!
Since the Xu family broke with the Xu family, they have never tasted honey again, not only because they have no money to buy it, but also because it is something of the Xu family.
Seeing that the two sides were pulling, Qiduo walked over and said to his father, "Dad, since Brother Xu and Gongzi Wen specially brought them here, then let's accept them." ”
Tan Dejin nodded, put away the wine with a smile, and beckoned Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan to sit down.
Changsheng flexibly served hot tea to the two.
The meat on the grill already exuded an attractive aroma, Wen Xiuyi rolled up his wide sleeves again, and took the initiative to take on the role of barbecue, turning and brushing the sauce, and his movements were very skillful, as if he often did this.
Liulang was very sticky to Shen Nan, and the two were talking happily.
Qiduo and Liuju brought the dishes to the table, while Erxia went directly into the house to avoid it, not participating in everyone's barbecue feast.
Looking at the roasted golden wild boar, Qiduo smiled and said to Tan Dejin, "Dad, Brother Kang must be in a hurry in the front yard, do you want to call him to come over." ”
"This is not very good, your grandmother specially invited him and Aunt Gui Rong tonight." Tan Dejin was a little embarrassed.
He also saw that his son-in-law wanted to come to the backyard for barbecue.
"Uncle, why don't you wait for the meat to be roasted, send a plate to the front yard, there are all elders over there." Wen Xiuyi suggested with a smile.
This is very much in line with Tan Dejin's mind, and his eyes looking at Wen Xiuyi are more joyful.
Seven flowers and six oranges bring fragrant barbecue meat to the front yard.
The dishes in the front yard had just been prepared, and Old Man Tan was about to ask Sizao and Erlang to send some over, just in time for Qiduo and Liuju to bring back.
There is meat, fish and chicken soup, which is not bad, but Wu's cooking skills are sloppy, and the taste is a little unsatisfactory.
The meat was finally cooked, everyone sat around the table, and Wen Xiuyi carefully cut the meat into small pieces, put them on a plate, and then served them on the table.
"The oven should be improved, make it smaller, you can put it on the table, cut the meat smaller, and eat it while cooking, it should be more convenient." Wen Xiuyi said.
"Well, that's a good idea, Xiuyi, you can get one later." Xu Youxuan, a foodie, nodded his head after hearing this, and called this idea good.
At the same time, he still thought in his heart that if he really made something like this, he would let the food city use it at that time.
"It's just a matter of thinking about it, if you really want to do it, it may take some effort." Warm and repaired.
Qiduo looked at Wen Xiuyi, and he said that it was very similar to the oven used in the buffet barbecue restaurant in his previous life.
Is he really like himself?
The suspicion in my heart grew stronger. (To be continued......)
