Chapter 81: Agreeing to a family affair
The Jiang family came to propose marriage sincerely, and the Zhou family was not hypocritical, and agreed to the family affair straightforwardly.
This can make Jiang Junlin beautiful, his eyes glanced straight at Zhou Lili, and he didn't look at it with a grin, and he looked like a stupid son of a landlord.
can make the sisters Zhou Yanyan and Zhou Tiantian, who are watching the excitement next to them, laugh.
Since both sides have no opinions, this family matter is considered to be a verbal decision.
Because the Zhou family still has a happy event for the eldest grandson Zhou Yongping this winter, Mrs. Zhou said that she would wait for the New Year, and then let Zhou Lili and Jiang Junlin get engaged, and the family would be busy with Zhou Yongping's daughter-in-law first.
When Mrs. Zhou said this, the Cao family naturally did not object, and they had to be prepared.
Although the engagement is not a marriage, there are a lot of things to prepare, Jiang Hanjun is the director of the field, and his son is engaged, so he can't be too cold, right? It has to be said in a big way.
"Cheng, everything is arranged by the aunt, and the aunt says that when it is good, she will be engaged to these two children." The Cao family respects the old couple of the Zhou family very much, and this attitude is naturally not true.
The two children's relatives were decided, and everyone was relieved at this time, so they sat there and chatted.
Mrs. Zhou glanced at the table clock, it was not early, "Caiying, will you lead Lily and Yanyan to cook?" Make a few good dishes at noon and leave your nephew and daughter-in-law to eat at home. ”
After the family negotiation is completed, the two families will be relatives immediately, so they naturally want to stay with others for a meal.
What's more, the Jiang family also brought so many gifts, and the Zhou family also wanted to save face, so they naturally had to entertain them well.
When the Cao family heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't, don't, auntie, don't be busy, how can there be a reason to come to propose a marriage and eat?"
Sister Caiying, don't be busy, let's sit down and chat for a while, and we'll go back later. ”
"That's not good, Sister Yuefen, you have to stay for a meal at noon today. It's been so many years since we sisters, and you haven't come to sit at home, so it's hard to come here, can you let you go? Han Caiying smiled when she heard this.
"Sister Yuefen, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, you sit down first, I'll lead the girls to cook a few dishes, and you must have a meal at home at noon."
After speaking, Han Caiying didn't wait for Cao to say anything, and led Zhou Lili and Zhou Yanyan to the kitchen.
Cao Shi saw that the Zhou family was sincere in keeping them for dinner, and it would be a bit hypocritical for her to refuse, so let's stay.
"Auntie, you see how embarrassing this is, let's come over to propose marriage, and stay for a meal." Cao said politely.
The Cao family stayed like this, talking with the old couple of the Zhou family in the house, and Jiang Junlin was talking with Zhou Anhe.
Originally, Zhou Anhe had some opinions about Jiang Junlin, but after observing it, he also found that Jiang Junlin, this young man, was okay, and he cared about Zhou Lili very much.
Zhou Anhe is not easy to embarrass Jiang Junlin anymore, so today the two of them are talking together, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.
The room was talking, and the kitchen was busy frying and frying.
In order to entertain guests today, Mrs. Zhou got up early and ordered Han Caiying to kill a chicken, plus meat, vermicelli, tofu and other foods bought from the market yesterday.
With eggs, cabbage, mushrooms, fungus, etc., you can almost make up eight dishes by scratching and pulling.
In this year, eight dishes are very good, which is the highest standard, and the Jiang family will definitely not be able to find fault.
Han Caiying and the two daughters are very quick to work, and the dishes are also prepared in advance early in the morning, so the meal is made quickly.
The meal was ready, and it happened that Zhou Anbang and Yongping also came back from work, so they hurriedly put the table to eat.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Yuefen, there is nothing to eat at this time, except for the radish and cabbage, which is the cabbage and radish, anyway, I simply got a few dishes, and I can deal with it casually, Sister Yuefen, don't be suspicious."
The meals were all served and arranged, and Han Chaeyoung beckoned everyone to eat.
"Look at what you're saying, you're still calling it casual? This dish is not a New Year's holiday, who is willing to eat it like this? ”
Cao Shi looked at the dishes on the table, good guys, chicken stewed mushrooms, pork fried cabbage, spicy tofu, fried fungus with meat, peanuts, scrambled eggs, pork stewed vermicelli, fried eggplant boxes, almost all of them are hard dishes.
Ordinary people don't necessarily eat so well during the New Year's holidays.
"Auntie, let you break the bank, you see, this is for us, and a chicken was specially killed." The Zhou family was of course very satisfied with the Zhou family's attitude, and they had to say a few polite words to Mrs. Zhou.
"What else is this? It's rare for you all to come to the house once, and it's right to cook a few delicious dishes to entertain.
Kaichun caught a few chickens, who wants to have more roosters and fewer hens, just kill a rooster, and you can also save some food. Mrs. Zhou said with a smile.
"Come, niece and daughter-in-law, come and sit and taste the food.
Lily, which dishes do you make? Mrs. Zhou deliberately raised her granddaughter and asked deliberately.
Generally speaking, when guests come to the house, there is no child to lead the stove, so as not to make the guests feel disrespected.
But there is a different situation, that is, the banquet of the girl's family, the dishes on the table, and the girl who is married to the family has to make two dishes, showing that the craftsmanship is good.
Although it is not a wedding banquet today, it is almost the same, the old lady had already instructed Zhou Lili to cook two good dishes, and let the Jiang family know that the daughters of the Zhou family can handle everything.
Zhou Lili was also in the house at this time, and when she heard her grandmother ask, she walked over with a red cloud on her face and pointed to the eggplant box, chicken stewed mushrooms, and fried fungus with meat on the table.
"Milk, Aunt Jiang, I made these dishes, the craftsmanship is not good, Aunt Jiang don't be suspicious."
Zhou Lili has been working for a few days, and she has also exercised, and she speaks and behaves more thoughtfully and appropriately than before.
"Niece and daughter-in-law, come on, taste the taste first.
Lily, this kid is not my mother-in-law selling melons and boasting, she is indeed a good worker, a pair of scissors on the kang and a shovel on the pot table, all of which can be taken and put down.
Quick, try the chicken. Mrs. Zhou looked at the dishes on the table, said proudly, and put two pieces of chicken in the bowl for Cao's family.
"Auntie, I'll do it myself.
Lily is also a child I have seen since I was a child, I know what kind of character this child has, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to propose marriage.
Aren't you afraid that others will also fall in love with Lily and know how good Lily is?
This is settled early, and I don't have to worry about it, just because the family has saved money for a few years, and in three or four years, when the two children are older, I will give them a wedding.
When the time comes, I will be able to enjoy all these things at home and outside the house, and Lily will take care of everything, and I will be responsible for coaxing my grandson. ”
Cao Shi was very satisfied with Zhou Lili, and this was not a good thing, so he thought about everything in the future.
"Well, this chicken stew is good, the heat is just right, it's not hard or rotten, and the taste is very good, delicious." Cao took a bite of the chicken and praised.
