"Well, that's thanks, too."

After talking for a while, when it was time for dinner, the shopkeeper He warmly invited Xu Jiaojiao to stay, and Xu Zhang's group went to the restaurant next to them to eat.

Xu Zhangshi thanked him, "Next time I have the opportunity to eat again, we are going to eat in the old family today, and the old family has already done it." ”

The shopkeeper He kept it again and again, but he couldn't keep it.

It's a pity, I have to say, I'll invite you next time.

Xu Zhang also said enthusiastically, "There will definitely be a chance next time, if there is nothing to do, you can also go to our Xujia Village to walk around more......"

Xu Laosi also took advantage of the situation to stutter close to the shopkeeper He, which was suitable for the guest and the host.

sent Xu Jiaojiao and them out, and walked a street before turning back.

***

Yao made a table of dishes.

A plate of cold pork head meat, fried river shrimp with garlic sprouts, pork vermicelli, egg custard with chopped green onions, fried tofu with minced meat, fried peanuts, etc......

Left and right, the charcoal fire in the main house burned vigorously, at noon Da Lang also came back from the school, the big girl also came back, the family stood at the door, looking at Xu Zhang's and them.

Finally, the ox cart of the old Xu family came.

Yao pointed to the ox cart coming across the street and shouted happily, "Da Rong, my mother is here, Da Lang, Da Ya, they all come out to greet your milk, your aunt." ”

It was Xu Laosi who drove the car.

Xu Laosi looked at this formation and sighed.

"What a rarity! Mother, it's still your big face, every time I come, I close the door, and I can't shoot people when I shoot the door. Tut-tut, mother, sister, I'm lucky with you today, such a welcoming posture, it's just flattering! ”

Xu Darong glared at him, not wanting to bother with this scoundrel.

When the neighbors heard this movement, they all came out to watch the excitement.

Xu Zhangshi got out of the ox cart, "Fourth, don't talk nonsense, you can't stop your mouth when you eat!" ”

Xu Laosi stopped talking stupidly.

Xu Darong and Yao gave Xu Zhang's salute respectively, and hurriedly welcomed them into the courtyard.

The ox cart was too big, there was a threshold at the front yard door, and I couldn't get in, so I drove the ox cart in after walking through the back door.

Yao's fetched hot water and cleaned their hands for Xu Jiaojiao. "Mother, it's time to clean your hands, eat, the meals are ready, according to the taste of the old girl, they are all light, and I specially cooked white rice for the old girl......"

In the past, Xu Zhang's family did not have this habit, and the villagers would pay attention to the rule of washing hands before meals.

It's good to have something to eat.

They were all taken by Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Jiaojiao believes that the sanitary conditions in the countryside are not good, it is easy to be infected with various bacteria, and the disease comes from the mouth, and washing hands before meals is what she advocated in the old Xu family. It takes a lot of effort to wash your hands, and it doesn't matter if you spend so much time in a day.

The group cleaned their hands and went to the dining table in the center of the main room.

Xu Zhang's eyes swept away, and he was quite satisfied.

In front of Xu Jiaojiao, there was also a bowl of fragrant white and soft rice.

Yao Shi said diligently, "Mother, if you don't eat white rice, I have a lot of one serving, so I'll give you a bowl too!" ”

Xu Zhangshi waved his hand, "No, I don't need to eat such an expensive meal, I'm used to eating steamed buns in my life, so I'll eat steamed buns." ”

Rice is expensive, rice is expensive.

Here in Shazhou County, those who can afford to eat rice are all large families, and the ordinary people eat pasta and miscellaneous grains.

Over time, I got into the habit of eating pasta instead of rice.

Xu Jiaojiao ate rice every day in her previous life, and only when it was too early in the morning would there be pasta, and the main meal was rice.

Now I have rice to eat, and it feels very intimate.

Yao really put his heart into it.

Such diligence seems to have a plan.

Be mentally prepared.

sat down in the order of the eldest and youngest, Xu Darong could speak, all kinds of praise for Xu Jiaojiao and holding Xu Zhang's, "Mother, it is rare for you to come back to the county seat, and it is even more rare for you to come back to your son to eat, you must eat and drink well......"

Xu Zhangshi held his face, "Well, you all have something to do in the county, I have an old bone, and I won't bother you if I don't have anything, Yao, you cooked hard, and made several decent dishes so quickly." ”

These meals are not handled by the Yao family alone, but by Xiao Tao.

Of course, before Xu Zhang's and the others came, Xu Darong sent Xiao Tao back first, so as not to let Xu Zhang's see that there were still people serving in their family, which was difficult to explain.

Xu Darong saw that Xu Zhang's praised Yao's, and hurriedly glanced at Yao's.

Yao just didn't see it, and ate with his head bored.

The eldest girl and the eldest lang were eating together, and they didn't know it, but the eldest lang said, "Dad, are your eyes bad?" How do you keep cramping? Do you want to go to see a doctor, we readers should protect our eyes, if we read too many books, we will use our eyes excessively, our husband said......"

Xu Darong had no choice but to harden his head and speak by himself, "Old girl, I heard that you won four or five hundred silver in the gambling house in Yong'an Town, right?" ”

Xu Jiaojiao raised her head, "Sort of, the situation forced it, and it wasn't intentional, that gambling house was the culprit behind the snatching of the eggs......"

Xu Darong put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "No matter what the situation, that's not right, old girl, I am the showman of our old Xu family, and anything that happens in the family is closely related to me, and a careless will affect my reputation as a showman." Gambling is an extremely bad thing, if it spreads, others will say that it is my Xu Darong Xu Daxiucai's sister who doesn't know the checkpoint, and a daughter actually went to the gambling house to gamble for money, how ugly it is, your reputation is not good, my reputation is not good! Next time, don't do it again!

Xu Zhangshi also put the bowl on the table, "Boss, you're not right, first of all, don't say that your sister has to go to the gambling house, even if she goes, it has nothing to do with you, you don't care about the family's affairs anyway, the second child was thrown like that, your father is looking forward to you going home, what is the use of you going home?" Aren't you careless? ”

blocked Xu Darong's mouth at once.

Xu Darong was speechless, paused for a moment, and said, "Mother, I really can't help with the second brother's affairs?" I was not informed of the third brother's matter this time, and if I did, I would have to go back and talk to the official master or something......"

"You go back and help your third brother get those boards, what's the use of your words?"

"I ...... I can take it too. No, mother, gambling is really bad, my sister is a girl's family, this has to be passed out, what do people think? What if you see the sweetness and want to continue to get involved in it in the future? I also say this because I care about our old sister, mother, I don't mean anything else. ”
