For Mei Li's sycophancy, her mother-in-law Bo Dongai is still quite useful.

When she was eating today, she said to Mei Li with a rare pleasant face: "You really have to eat, we will be busy tomorrow, I will work with you this afternoon to make all the preparations, and then tomorrow the cook will be busy a little easier." ”

Mei Li only then learned from her mother-in-law that there were many people who wanted to celebrate her birthday, and her relatives alone had five tables.

This local custom is that on such a day, there are several people in each family and the whole family is present to eat, so even if there are not many relatives, it is easy to gather a table.

The rest of the guests are the in-laws and Shaotian's colleagues, a total of five tables, these friends and relatives are different, they all come to eat on behalf of the family to celebrate their birthday.

Because the home is spacious, and the local people like the elderly like this birthday, they like to celebrate at home, most of them are not to save money, but to feel that it is very lively at home, which is an atmosphere that cannot be experienced in the hotel outside.

Therefore, as long as there is a banquet with a large number of guests like the Qin family, the chef is invited to come to serve.

The chef sent the equipment a day in advance, so that the family could clean it in advance and keep it for tomorrow.

You can also prepare the dishes that need to be cleaned in advance as much as possible on the first day, and you can entertain guests without hurry on the next day.

In previous years, there were four fewer tables than this year's guests, because it was Bo Dongai who tried to greet those friends before her mother-in-law's birthday, saying that there were not many guests in her house, so that those friends who went far away should not come as much as possible, unless those friends who had a very important relationship with the Qin family, Bo Dongai agreed to let them come as guests.

There are two reasons why she actually did this, one is that Bo Dong is afraid that there will be too many guests, and it is very tiring for her to greet alone.

Second, she felt that some friends gave too little gifts, which were not enough to entertain him (her) for their own wine and dinner, and she couldn't make it a good deal, so she didn't want those friends to join in the fun.

This year, Qin Hou greeted his wife in advance, saying that he wanted to make his mother's birthday more lively and hearty than in previous years, and Bo Dongai did not quit those polite friends.

just wanted Qin Hou to feel that he was taking his words seriously.

Bo Dongai's doing this is also a means to make Qin Hou usually obey her words, and she also takes this opportunity to please her wife.

Although her personality is a little stronger, she knows that sometimes, when it is time to save face for men, she still has to maintain it.

In this way, the man was almost disobedient in his own rigid and soft hands, and was led by her nose.

This is also the husband training technique that Bo Dongai has been in love with Qin Hou for so many years!

Merry had never experienced these things of entertaining many guests, and she didn't know the hardships inside.

She listened to her mother-in-law's words, and said happily: "Mom, I just rushed back to help you do things, as long as you tell me in the afternoon, I will try to do things well with you." ”

Bo Dongai listened to her words and nodded with satisfaction.

Qin Hou, the father-in-law next to him, was also very satisfied with Mei Li's words, "Lili, today and tomorrow will be hard for you and your mother, grandma has a birthday once a year, make the birthday banquet happy for her old man, and after these two days are busy, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will have to be a little easier." ”

Mei Li nodded: "Dad, don't worry!" My mom and I are sure we're doing a good job for you. ”

Although Qin Shaotian felt sorry for Mei Li and had something to do before she had time to rest when she came home, but her grandmother's birthday was no better than anything else, and it was impossible to help Mei Li push it off.

He could only whisper beside him: "You have to pay attention to your body yourself, you have to tell your mother if you are too tired, you can't hold on." ”

Merry knew that he cared about herself, and whispered back, "I know." ”

Bo Dongai immediately saw her son's reluctant expression, and she looked at her son: "What are you whispering to your daughter-in-law?" Are you afraid that your mother will abuse your daughter-in-law, no matter what, it is a little more housework than usual, how can it tire your daughter-in-law? It's like your dad said that these two days are bitter, do you need to be so distressed?"

Qin Shaotian listened to his mother's words, and said to his mother confidently: "Mom, Lili has been working hard outside for the past two days, and she has to be busy with housework before she gets home before she takes a breath, I'm worried that she is too tired, shouldn't she?"

Mei Li regretted not stopping Qin Shaotian's quick mouth next to her, her mother-in-law has always liked to compete with Mei Li and be jealous, and she didn't even know how to let go in time when her son married her daughter-in-law, and she didn't let go when she caught a little talk, which is something that the family, including her father-in-law, knows.

Although her son married a daughter-in-law, she always felt that Mei Li had snatched her son, she used to only have her own son in her eyes, but now she was all focused on Mei Li, which made her feel unhappy and a deep sense of loss when she looked at it.

Just when Mei Li was worried about Shaotian provoking her mother-in-law to say a lot of nagging, fortunately she was stopped by her father-in-law in time.

"Tomorrow is grandma's birthday, don't be bored here and say something in a bad mood. Everyone should finish eating early and finish the business to be done early. ”

Qin Hou is also learning to be obedient now, when he meets such a prickly wife, if he doesn't say it well, she will always be unrelenting, he doesn't want to spoil the mood of holding a birthday banquet tomorrow for the sake of lip service.

Bo Dongai didn't continue to say anything about Qin Hou's fair remarks.

Mei Li still has a little doubt about her in-laws' reasonable arrangements, tomorrow is her birthday, why haven't she seen her grandmother come home yet.

When she hesitated to say the question in her heart, Qin Hou replied with a smile: "Your grandmother goes to pick her up in the morning every year, except for when you were newly married, she came back to live in advance, and she has lived like this before." ”

Qin Shaotian listened to his father's words and said unceremoniously: "Why don't you want to think about why grandma is like this?" ”

"She doesn't want to come back early, should I go and tie her up?" After Qin Hou finished speaking, he glared at Qin Shaotian fiercely.

Seeing this, Mei Li hurriedly tugged at Qin Shaotian's clothes and asked him not to say any more.

In this way, the two fathers and sons did not quarrel over this topic.

Merry didn't know until the afternoon how much was going on.

The tableware of the entire ten tables, plus the tables, chairs and benches, all had to be cleaned from beginning to end. There are also ten tables of wine, drinks, cigarettes, and dishes...... You have to be well prepared, just tidying up is too much.

Bo Dongai looked at Mei Li Mari, she was mainly doing command work there, and almost most of the things were done by Mei Li.

Fortunately, Mei Li has been used to doing things since she was a child, and in the face of such a tricky mother-in-law, what else can she do except be honest and obedient?

In this way, Merry was working at full capacity in the afternoon.

Because she was at home this afternoon, Bo Dongai didn't even bother to make dinner, so she threw it all to Mei Li.

In the end, Mei Li was so tired that she didn't have much appetite when she ate at night, and Qin Shaotian was a little anxious when she looked at it.

He looked a little nagging and said to Mei Li: "I told you in the morning not to hold on, look! Now, I don't even want to eat! Why don't you even listen to anyone! ”

Bo Dongai listened to his son's words, and his face immediately pulled down, "Didn't she just let her do some chores, is she as tired as you said?" Young people just need to exercise more, so that no matter what happens in the future, they can cross over well. I don't want to think about it, Mom is all for your good. ”

Qin Hou also said with concern next to him: "Lili, are you okay?" If you don't feel comfortable, say it sooner, and your mom can handle it on her own. ”

Mei Li listened to their words and smiled reluctantly: "Mom and Dad, I'm fine, it's just that I like to talk a lot and make a fuss about it, I may have eaten too much at noon, and I'm not very hungry now." ”

She said this, and Qin Shaotian and Qin Hou didn't speak.

Bo Dongai still refuses to forgive: "Alas! This person is different from others, doing the same thing, some people feel distressed and some people don't care at all, this is really the same person's life! ”

In the face of such a Bo Dongai, several people here knew that if she continued to talk, it would only make her more and more angry.

Only by ignoring her will things be still, so in the end everyone stopped talking.

In fact, Mei Li was really a little uncomfortable, but it was not very obvious, she just felt that her waist was faintly a little sore, she thought that maybe it was because of the fatigue of the past two days and the fact that she had done chores, but she didn't think of other reasons at all.
