Chapter 40: Barely a happy end
Although those past events, those who know about them, have been ordered by the second elder to prohibit external publicity, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, don't underestimate it, the IQ of those old ladies, just relying on that few words, can guess what happened.
As long as you know the ins and outs of the matter, anyone will say that the second elder of the Ye family is eccentric and does not do things authentically.
At the time of the dilemma, there were also complaints about the two old men who put them in this predicament, and for the culprit Ye Xiuhong, like the Ji family, she hated her - good things are not in her mother's turn, and she still causes trouble everywhere, so let their mother's family follow behind to help her wipe her ass.
"Army, you and your daughter-in-law will follow your grandparents back." Uncle and they can't leave themselves, but they can't let the second elder go alone, if this is the case, it is estimated that these relatives and friends will look down on their family even more.
The army put down the chopsticks without saying a word, but the army's mother-in-law was a little unhappy, and it was rare to eat a big meal, so it was gone, but the arms couldn't twist the thighs, needless to say, they still obediently followed the army back.
In the end, the banquet was messed up, except for the food to the mouth, everyone was no longer interested in anything else, and after eating, they left in a hurry.
Uncle They finished eating absentmindedly and wanted to leave the table and go home with everyone, but the manager stopped them......
"You can't leave yet, and you haven't lost your tail yet!" As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at the table and stool, in fact, the secretary could also call others for help, but he also knew that the Ye family did not mean it, but something happened and he was a little uncertain.
If this will let someone else come, it is estimated that the relationship between the two of them has been decided, after all, he is the head of the Ye family, which is not what he is willing to see.
When everyone in the Ye family heard this, they were shocked into a cold sweat, if they left without saying a word today, it is estimated that this relative has really done it.
"Thank you, thank you, secretary, reminder, we were all so dazed that we didn't even think about it." Uncle sincerely thanked the secretary.
It's just that the secretary can't deny this, if he really takes the Ji family to heart, he won't forget about such a big thing, it's just ...... Who made him the patriarch! Even if you don't look down on them, you can only focus on the overall situation.
In fact, the secretary wronged them a little, they didn't really care about Ji Lao Niang at all, but they followed the thoughts of the second elder of the Ye family since they were children, and they cared too little, and they were used to putting her last in everything.
Although because of Ji Lao Niang's efforts in the past year, everyone has begun to pay attention to Ji Lao Niang in their hearts, but they just think about it, and they have become accustomed to nature in action, and it is not so easy to change.
Following the big guy, he hurriedly cleaned up the yard briefly, put the dishes, chopsticks, tables and stools outside the courtyard, and prepared to wait for the end, and when he returned to the village, he carried them back and returned them together.
When the host family has something to do, and the banquet can't be taken care of, it will depend on the ability of the manager and the chef, but fortunately, the twelve grandmothers and their husbands have lived up to the trust of the Ji family.
Grandma Twelve didn't ask anything, just took the kitchen in the stove, cleaned up, and tried to help achieve a successful ending.
These are "seen" in the eyes of wormwood, and I am grateful to the secretary and his wife, and in this case, I still remember to help arrange it properly, which is really good.
There is a chance for his father to talk to the secretary to see if the juniors in their family want to learn martial arts, which can be regarded as repaying them, not to mention that the white-eyed wolf has taught them, and he doesn't care about teaching a few more.
"Uncle, aunt, let's go back first." The custom here is that after the engagement banquet, the man can't stay longer after the banquet, and Ye Shoujun came to say goodbye to the Ji family under the urging of Ye's fifth father.
"O defenders! It's all bad for your aunt to mess up the engagement banquet that you and your little sister have once in a lifetime. Ji Lao Niang took Ye Shoujun's hand, although she desperately endured it without tears, she still couldn't help crying - she was sad that her daughter's engagement banquet was flawed, and she was sad about the performance of her parents and brothers.
"Auntie, it's okay, this is just an accident, let's not take it to heart, let's just live well in the future, and there is no wedding banquet! We'll do a big deal when the time comes, just find it back. "It's already like this, and I can only try to comfort it; In fact, he also knew that she was mainly worried that she would quarrel with wormwood in the future and turn over old accounts, but he really didn't mind very much, life was not perfect, as long as he tried his best.
"Yes, yes, yes, and the wedding party." Ji Lao Niang wiped her moist eyes with her sleeve and regained her spirits.
At the same time, on the other side, Father Ji also pulled Ye Fifth Father there to apologize: "Fifth brother, I'm really sorry, the matter of the two dolls was not completed." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, let's live! There are often unsatisfactory things, don't worry, really, this is not what you want. "Fifth Father Ye is actually a little happy in his heart, as long as the marriage is flawed, he can find an opportunity in the future to see if he can use this as an excuse to withdraw from the marriage or something.
"Hey~ I still let the two children be wronged." Father Ji was also very angry, but it was his mother-in-law's family who had accompanied him for most of his life, and his mother couldn't let go of the child himself, so he couldn't do anything.
……
hurriedly explained a few words, and after Ye Shoujun handed Daddy Ji a red envelope of "pressing the table", he went back with Ye Wudad.
"Mother, let's talk about those things later, Mrs. Twelve and my aunt are cleaning up in the kitchen, you see if there is anything to give back gifts to those who helped, the twelve princesses are helping to send off guests, preparing to return the table or something, there should also be a thank you gift, right?" Wormwood, now I just want to divert my attention, and then I won't be sad anymore, and then I will discuss how to take revenge.
"Oh yes, yes, I'll go to the kitchen to see, big tiger, you see if the wedding cakes are enough, uh~ The one who helped sent six wedding cakes, the secretary and the twelve grandmothers each had six wedding cakes and six red eggs, and those who had something to lend to the Ji family to use, they would return six red eggs to the family, and then ...... Then the child's father, you will divide it outside, I will go to the stove to have a look, and the two tigers and you will also go to help. Ji Lao Niang instantly cheered up and arranged for everyone to do work.
The big guy looked at the energetic old lady and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wormwood followed the old lady into the stove......
Although the guests were not interested in the end, there were almost no leftovers, and there was no way that the dish was so delicious that no one was willing to eat a bite, so there would be no leftovers to share with the cook...... Each person will also be given six wedding cakes!
"Little sister, can you see if the cake is enough?" These six and those six, and the guests have to return the gift, it is estimated that this will definitely not be enough.
Wormwood "looked" at the wedding cake at home, it was really not enough, "Mother, shall I go back to the house and get it directly?" "Wormwood gave her mother a look that you know.
"Go back to the house and get it." Be safe, who knows if there has been a count of the number of wedding cakes.
Everyone carried six wedding cakes, walking with the wind of the evening home, everyone had a smile on their faces, this is a good thing made of rich and strong powder and sugar, I didn't expect to help for two days, delicious and delicious hospitality, and got six, it is estimated that there are two catties of wedding cakes, and the money has been doubled.

"Mother, don't be sad, I'll go to Li's house tomorrow to put sacks on their whole family." The Four Tigers couldn't help but speak first.
"No, they just caused trouble with us today, and they were put in a sack the next day, and the fools know that we did it." Big Tiger refused.
"Then wait for the next year, and then we will be together, one by one." Erhu continued.
"Okay, it's settled." The three tigers, an honest man, also nodded fiercely.
……
Ji Lao Niang looked at the children, you and I were discussing how to avenge her, and the worried eyes of the child's father, she couldn't help but leave tears of happiness - content, she is already past the age of needing her father, since they don't put her at ease, she will let go, and no longer hope for feelings that don't belong to her, anyway, she doesn't lack people to love.
Wormwood looked at her mother's tears, and said eagerly and softly: "Mother, don't be sad, there are still two years after tomorrow!" As long as their family is lazy, they won't have a good life, don't worry! ”
Oh, yes! There are still two years of famine, and I don't know if there will be any life at that time, and of course she won't pity them, just be a stranger! No, if a stranger encounters a problem, she will probably help, but if their family dies in front of her, she won't care.
Some people may say that the grievances of the previous generation, don't implicate the next generation, then there must be a premise - that is, the next generation is good, she may still consider it, but unfortunately they are all raised crookedly, men and women are lazy and poisonous, splashy and greedy.
It is said that bad bamboo shoots produce good bamboo shoots, but so far, she has not found any "good bamboo shoots".
"Okay, mother, it's okay, I'm just happy, our family is a good child of filial piety, mother! It's enough to have you. Ji Lao Niang said calmly.
The two little ones were okay, but the three big ones were praised by her mother so much, they couldn't help but blush, greeted casually, and went back to the house, leaving the territory to their parents, so that they could have a good chat, and let his father comfort and comfort her mother.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, night has just fallen, the sky has fallen the first snow of this winter, the sky is full of snow fluttering, the cold wind is biting, and the quiet country road has been paved with a thin layer of silver sand.
"Wow~ Little sister, come on, it's snowing, you can play snowballs and build snowmen tomorrow." The Four Tigers are still a child who has not grown up, and as long as they think of playing, they are very excited.
"You think it's early, who knows how long it will take?" When the wormwood came out, he poured a basin of cold water on the four tigers; In fact, she is not talking nonsense, on their side, the probability of heavy snow in winter is not high, and it is not long, once or twice a year is already good, not to mention that on their side, the first snow in winter generally does not fall for a long time.
