In front of so many people, especially Secretary Han and the two civil affairs comrades, the old lady of the Chen family didn't dare to say anything even if she was unhappy.

Besides, the Chen family didn't dare to offend Qu Weiyang.

So the old lady of the Chen family didn't say anything, just glanced at Qiao Lian, then lowered her eyelids, and still sat expressionless as usual.

Over there, Secretary Han only said a few words, "Yes, let's just say these few words, don't say too much."

There are so many good dishes in front of us, and we thank the two comrades for their hospitality. ”

Secretary Han's words made everyone laugh, so everyone moved their chopsticks and began to eat.

Qiao Lian specially prepared several bottles of wine, took them out and handed them to Qu Weiyang, and asked Qu Weiyang to pour wine for the big guy.

The men were closer than their daughters-in-law when they saw the wine, and they smiled one by one, drinking wine and eating food and chatting, not to mention how happy they were.

On the West House side, the table on the kang head is all the Chen family, and the table on the kang is the Zhang family's concubine, Zhao's sister-in-law and Qiaolian, as well as the children of the Zhang family and the Qu family.

At first, Wang's meaning was that adults had a table and children had a table, and adults could eat with peace of mind.

But Qiaojuan was not happy, she was stunned to arrange it like this, and the child's mother hugged it, so that she would not spill the soup and food.

Another reason is that the Chen family's eating is not good.

Not only did the children eat rudely, but even the Wang family devoured something as if they hadn't eaten something good for a long time.

As soon as the table on the kang head began, the big guy grabbed the same food like crazy, and Jiakang Jiayuan, who looked at it directly, was dumbfounded.

Qiao Lian was also secretly glad to have listened to her sister's words, otherwise whoever ate with the Chen family would not be able to rob them.

Qiao Juan has long been accustomed to the virtue of the Chen family, and she is not surprised, she only gave Qiao Lian a look, and the big guy tacitly ate while talking and laughing.

"Second sister, what are you cooking? Why haven't I ever eaten before?

It's delicious, it's really good, I watched you do it, but I didn't understand it, and I waited for you to teach me when I was free, and I did it during the New Year. ”

Qiaojuan took a bite of the pot wrapped meat, and was immediately conquered by this taste, it was delicious.

"Sister, this is what I saw from someone's hotel when I walked here from our hometown, and I pondered it for a while and followed it, which is not authentic.

People call this pot-wrapped meat, it's very delicious, but it costs oil, you see I used a lot of oil this morning.

Fortunately, there are many fried samples, and if you make this dish alone, it is not cost-effective, and it is too expensive.

That is, invite the big guy to dinner today, on ordinary days, who is willing to use oil so much? Qiao Lian smiled and casually found an excuse to prevaricate.

Sure enough, the big guy's attention shifted from the practice of wrapping meat in a pot.

"Isn't it? It's too oil-intensive for you to cook, and you poured so much into it when you fried things just now, I feel distressed when I see it, I can't live like you. ”

"Yes, it's usually reluctant, isn't this a happy event today? Just this time, just save a little bit in the future. ”

Qiao Lian knows very well that most people in these years have lived a very hard life, and it is already very good to be able to eat enough.

Cooking like her is a waste in the eyes of others, and state-run restaurants don't use oil like her.

"Oh, big sister, you just manage too much, can the second sister's family be the same now?

The second brother-in-law is back, but they are soldiers outside, and they are all battalion commanders.

I've heard people say that this officer has a lot of money a month's salary.

The second brother-in-law came back this time, and he didn't have to bring back a lot of money to the second sister? Otherwise, the second sister is willing to buy such a good meal to entertain us? ”

At the other end, the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family, Liu, stuffed a mouthful of vegetables and said vaguely.

"Second sister, tell us, how much money did the second brother-in-law bring back this time?

I watched that all of your family made new clothes, and the second brother-in-law's clothes are not cheap at first glance, but they are quite expensive, right? ”

Liu raised his head, and Wang also turned his head curiously to inquire.

When Qiaojuan saw her sisters-in-law like this, she hurriedly pulled Qiaolian's sleeve with her hand and signaled Qiaolian to speak carefully.

How could Qiaolian not understand? Then he smiled, "Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, among these dishes today, only meat and pork ribs are bought, and the rest don't cost money."

The chickens were put in the woods by Wei Yang, the fish were caught by him, the thorny shoots were broken by the two of us in the mountains, and the toads were picked up by the two of us when it rained the night before.

Where and what money was spent? It's just to deal with what is used at home. ”

"As for the clothes of our family of four, they are all the cloth that I went to the county to catch the market before the Chinese New Year, took the pheasants and hares, and exchanged them with others.

We came out of Shijiagou, we didn't bring anything with us, this spring is warm, why do we have to change clothes, there are no old clothes at home, what can we wear if we don't make new ones? ”

"Weiyang doesn't earn a salary, the allowance is a little, I didn't ask, the family has land and a vegetable garden, and the grain is mixed with wild vegetables is enough to eat, what do you care about so much?"

Qiao Lian said with a smile, with an unaware look, and the meaning of the words was that the daughters-in-law of the Chen family had inquired too much.

Wang's concubine is not a fool, hearing Qiao Lian's words, her face changed, this sister-in-law is getting more and more difficult.

I didn't do this when I lived in Shijiagou before, I was timid and didn't have any opinions, why is it so hard to deal with now?

The Wang family saw that the Qu family had cleaned up inside and out, and the family of four was dressed very decently, and then looked at how rich and excellent today's banquet was purchased, they all felt that Qu Weiyang had brought back a large amount of money, and the Qu family took advantage of this to turn over.

A few of them had the heart to inquire about the details, and then opened their mouths to borrow some money from Qiaolian.

It is said to be borrowed, but if it is borrowed, it will definitely not be returned, that is. If you can take advantage of it, you can take advantage of it, anyway, the sister-in-law is obedient and honest.

Unexpectedly, today's Qiaolian is not easy to fool, and she speaks and does things without leakage, so they don't know where to start.

Wang's goals were frustrated, and he was unwilling, and he was about to speak again, but he heard Wan Qi shouting, "Mom, my eldest brother robbed me of my meat." ”

Wan Qi is the eldest son of Chen Min'an, the second eldest of the Chen family, who is seven years old this year, and he eats with an oily face at the moment, just like a flower cat.

was looking at Wan Lu, the second child of Chen Minsheng's family, with an aggrieved face, pointing to the meat in Wan Lu's mouth, and screaming anxiously.

It turned out that this table was eaten too fast, and there was almost no meat, Wan Qi finally found a piece of meat from the green onion fried meat, but was robbed by Wan Lu, this kid was not happy, so he cried and complained.

The three of the Wang family looked down, and after a while they turned their heads to talk, there was no meat in the pot.

There are only green onions left in the green onion fried meat, braised fish left bones, pork ribs and yams left only yams, toad stewed potatoes only potatoes, chicken stewed vermicelli, and even vermicelli left.

There are only a few small trash fish left, and it is estimated that there are not enough for one person.

"Oh, second sister, is there any more food? You can't see enough to eat, we've eaten all this table, what else is there? Let's give some of it. ”
