Chapter 206: Far from Etiquette
After the car arrived at its destination, Xu Yueqing saw Aunt Xiang's family waiting at the door at a glance, so she hurriedly got out of the car. Zhuo Xiangyu was once again forgotten by her.
Zhuo Nianqi watched his mommy make the mistake of the night before again, and waited next to the car in order to appease Zhuo Xiangyu's injured mood.
Zhuo Xiangyu took several deep breaths in the car before calming down his irritable heart, and when he got out of the car, he saw that his son was still waiting for him, and his heart warmed slightly. Before the smile was raised, he heard Zhuo Nianqi's words and saw through all his disguises.
"Daddy, I don't think you're generous at all, but because you can't do anything about Mommy."
Zhuo Xiangyu laughed at himself and punched the body. What his son said was right, he really didn't have anything to do with Xu Yueqing. If it weren't for that, how could he possibly have a ten-year gap? How could she be allowed to forget herself here?
Satisfied with seeing his father's anger, Zhuo Nianqi followed the footsteps of adults into the house in a chic manner.
Zhuo Xiangyu roared lowly, and even his son could see his forbearance, but why didn't that stupid woman notice it at all! If it weren't for his son's reminder last night, he believed that she would never have reacted that she was actually jealous.
With such a dull little woman on the stall, he Zhuo Xiangyu could only helplessly stroke his forehead. Retracting his excess thoughts, Zhuo Xiangyu also followed Zhuo Nianqi to make up for his fallen footsteps.
When Zhuo Xiangyu entered the house, Xu Yueqing was catching up with Aunt Xiang, the cook. As soon as Aunt Xiang looked up, she saw him who was late, and when she saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, she praised him in front of Xu Yueqing, which made Xu Yueqing blush.
Aunt Xiang has a daughter named Li Li, who is in college, and she is also at home at this time. As soon as I saw Zhuo Xiangyu's eyes, I couldn't wait to stick to his body, and saw that Xu Yueqing was busy talking to her mother, and Zhuo Xiangyu was basically uninterested, so he took the initiative to come up and ask questions.
Zhuo Xiangyu himself didn't want to take care of other people's little girls, but after all, he was a guest at someone's house. So in addition to being a little cold, he also answered Li Li's questions one by one.
Li Li is about to face the problem of internship and employment after graduating from university, and seeing that Zhuo Xiangyu is polite in every move, he knows that he must not be an ordinary person, and most of the questions are about employment choices.
Zhuo Xiangyu, as the head of Zhuo's enterprise, naturally came to the questions asked by Li Li and analyzed his unique insights into the prospects of the job market.
Li Li admired this, and her eyes at Zhuo Xiangyu became reverent.
For a while, the room was full of people talking happily, and before they knew it, it was time to eat at noon, and the two families of Uncle Qian and Aunt Xiang were arguing about whose house to eat.
Xu Yueqing's ears were soft and she didn't know who to listen to, so she thought that it would be better to eat at Uncle Qian's house at noon and be at Aunt Xiang's house in the afternoon. But the two families are still arguing, if you don't let me, I won't let you, so I have no idea.
Zhuo Xiangyu had an idea in his heart, but Xu Yueqing did not cast a gaze for help. Zhuo Xiangyu also held back his mind and didn't speak, and let them fight, and in the end, Zhuo Nianqi proposed a way for the two families to jointly purchase a table of wine and food.
When the two adults heard this, they thought that it was not for nothing that they had co-authored a reunion year before, and immediately clapped their hands. Xu Yueqing no longer continued to be embarrassed by this matter.
The two elders went to buy wine and food, although Xu Yueqing wanted to go up and help out. But as soon as she arrived at the kitchen, they rushed back to the yard on the grounds that she was a guest, and Xu Yueqing had to chat with them.
Li Li looked at Xu Yueqing sitting next to Zhuo Xiangyu, and when he saw Xu Yueqing sitting next to him, his eyes flashed with almost imperceptible warmth, and he was envious, and joked with a smile, "As soon as Sister Qingqing came, my brother-in-law's eyes immediately couldn't leave Sister Qingqing." ”
Xu Yueqing had a thin face, and was teased by a girl who was much younger than herself, and immediately turned red, and glanced at Zhuo Xiangyu with disgust, "What's the matter, don't make fun of me, okay?" ”
Zhuo Xiangyu also had a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, and before he could open his mouth to relieve Xu Yueqing, he felt a pain in his waist - it was Xu Yueqing's hand pinching him.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the husband and wife was harmonious, and that she would dislike people if she talked too much, Li Li changed the topic with a smile, "Sister Qingqing, brother-in-law is really amazing!" ”
Xu Yueqing was confused, and moved her eyes to Zhuo Xiangyu, but seeing that he was smiling and silent, she waited for Li Li to explain to herself.
"I'm graduating from college soon, and my brother-in-law helped me analyze a lot of job market prospects today, all of which make sense, I don't know what my brother-in-law does?"
Zhuo Xiangyu smiled and didn't say a word, Xu Yueqing said casually, "It's just a little supervisor in the company, and you naturally know a lot in the society." ”
Li Li also knew that Xu Yueqing was low-key, and the answer she gave was definitely half-true. She felt that she just needed to know it in her heart, and she didn't need to delve too deeply.
During the chat, a table of wine and food was properly arranged, and Xu Yueqing couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she saw that many of the dishes on the table were what she liked to eat.
Aunt Xiang looked at Xu Yueqing as if she was about to cry, and suddenly became at a loss, "The dishes were ordered by me according to Miss's previous preferences, and I don't know if Miss's taste has changed after so many years." Miss, if you don't like these, tell Aunt Xiang what you like, and Aunt Xiang will do it. ”
Xu Yueqing saw Aunt Xiang's posture of doing what she said, and hurriedly restrained her emotions and pulled her, "Aunt Xiang, don't be busy, I love to eat these, I like them very much." It's just that I haven't eaten the food cooked by Aunt Xiang for a long time, so I'm a little sentimental for a while, let's sit down and eat! ”
Uncle Qian's family of three, Aunt Xiang's family of three, and Xu Yueqing's family of three came to the table one after another. Aunt Xiang brought the bowls of rice to the table, and Uncle Qian beckoned everyone to eat.
Xu Yueqing hadn't tasted Aunt Xiang's craftsmanship for a long time, so she missed it very much, and she couldn't wait to taste all the dishes on the table, but Zhuo Xiangyu and Zhuo Nianqi were very unaccustomed to it.
The father and son of the Zhuo family were completely subject to the dining etiquette of the wealthy upper class, and their usual habit of eating was to drink a bowl of appetizer soup before eating. But Aunt Xiang directly handed them the bowl containing the rice, and she was embarrassed not to accept it, so she could only reluctantly take it and not move.
Zhuo Nianqi saw that his father was facing a bowl of rice like himself, but he didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, so he had to pull Xu Yueqing, who was eating happily, "Mommy, can you help me and my father get a bowl of soup?" ”
Xu Yueqing reacted in hindsight, Zhuo Xiangyu's eating habits were different from those here, and before Xu Yueqing could speak, Li Li reacted very quickly, so she directly brought them two empty bowls.
Xu Yueqing helped one of them fill a bowl of kelp pork rib soup and put it in front of them, and the father and son started to move.
Aunt Xiang realized that they had not moved their chopsticks before because of their different eating habits, and secretly scolded her for her poor consideration. She smiled again and helped the father and son to sandwich a piece of duck meat that they had marinated at home, and told them to eat more and not to be restrained.
The father and son were froze again by Aunt Xiang's actions, usually they eat, and they have chopsticks to help others pick up vegetables, and it is the first time they have encountered them with their own chopsticks to pick up vegetables like this.
Zhuo Xiangyu looked up at Xu Yueqing in embarrassment, but happened to see that she sent the duck meat that Aunt Xiang had sandwiched for her directly into her mouth. With a bite of his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he also learned Xu Yueqing's movements and sent the duck meat into his mouth.
It is not unreasonable for Aunt Xiang to have been a cook in Jiang's family for so many years, at least in Zhuo Xiangyu's opinion, whether it is the kelp pork rib soup that she drinks before a meal or the duck meat she just sends into her mouth, she is not inferior to the chef in a five-star hotel.
But after eating the meat, Zhuo Xiangyu was entangled again, there was no plate, and he didn't know where to spit out the bones. Although they saw that Xu Yueqing and Uncle Qian both spit their bones directly on the table, the father and son of the Zhuo family, who had been taught aristocratic etiquette since childhood, could not learn such an inelegant eating behavior.
Fortunately, even the bones of the marinated duck are crispy and soft, and it will not stab the throat if swallowed directly after chewing, after Zhuo Xiangyu swallowed it with difficulty, he helplessly disturbed Xu Yueqing again to enjoy the food, "Qingqing, is there a saucer here?" ”
Xu Yueqing was stunned at first, and asked suspiciously, "Saucer?" Seeing Zhuo Xiangyu pointing to the bones she spit out on the table, she looked at Aunt Xiang meaningfully. But suddenly it occurred to me that they shouldn't be able to buy plates at home, so I had to change my words temporarily, "Aunt Xiang, can you help their father and son get two smaller plates?" ”
After all, Aunt Xiang worked as a cook in the Jiang family, so she still knows a little about these upper-class table manners. But after all, the maids in the Jiang family were more than ten years ago, and they didn't know the identity of the Zhuo family's father and son, so they were not well prepared.
Aunt Xiang smiled awkwardly, and then put the small plate in front of the Zhuo family father and son, and apologized to the father and son again and again, which made Xu Yueqing on the side a little embarrassed.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became a little strange because of the good cultivation of the Zhuo family's father and son. Qian Youwei regarded the actions of the Zhuo family father and son at the dinner table as a thorn, and he was very dissatisfied, and then he looked at his parents and smiled reluctantly, and his faces became even more cold when he looked at the father and son.
Li Li is a college student, and Aunt Xiang also understands the table manners of the Zhuo family's father and son, and she is full of curiosity about the husband Xu Yueqing married, but she is smart and silent at the dinner table.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became eerily quiet.
The Li family and the Qian family are ordinary people, and they basically can't help talking when they eat on weekdays. But because of the Zhuo family's father and son, the meal suddenly quieted down, which made Xu Yueqing, who was originally listening to their chatter while eating, also depressed.
