"Hey, brother, if Yan'er is not mistaken, that should be the junior ceremony just now." Xia Yan's voice sounded out inopportunely.

Looking at the eyes handed by his sister, Xia Huai understood and echoed: "Yan'er is not mistaken, that is the junior ceremony." Xia Weiwei is really respectful to our mother, and she actually sees her as a long

Generation, should my mother call this old lady sister in the future? ”

"Then what is it, look at the folds on her face, she can almost catch flies."

……

The brothers and sisters chatted word by word, and they didn't seem to notice the black faces of the three Xia Mu who could drip ink.

Xia Yan sneered in his heart, Xiaoxiao, dare to bully my mother, what I said you vomited blood.

"Oh, brother, look, we've been standing here for so long and no one has invited us in, Yan'er has never seen such an impolite person. They are not

Do you want to make amends, in my opinion, it must not be a heart, or let's go home. ”

"Okay." After that, Xia Huai pulled Xia Yan with one hand and Yan with the other to prepare to leave.

"Don't go, don't go." At this time, Xia Mu and Xia Weiwei were already stunned, and only Xia Xinchao, who had not been affected much, was still awake.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately persuaded: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, didn't I say it, I was slightly spoiled by my mother, and I don't understand anything."

Xia Xinhe looked at Xia Weiwei with hatred: "Weiwei, you are ashamed, a seven-year-old child knows more etiquette than you." Don't worry, Yan'er will teach you a lesson today

Whether it's training or not, you don't have to go out and embarrass your family. In terms of etiquette, you really have to learn more from your second sister-in-law. ”

Listening to Xia Xinchao's words, Xia Weiwei was about to cry, when was she said this, the third brother has spoiled her for more than ten years, and has never said a cruel word, what's wrong today

？

Xia Xinchao, who was anxious to appease the Yan family, didn't have the time to deal with Xia Weiwei at all, so he only listened to his polite invitation: "Second sister-in-law, your brother and sister have prepared all the meals, and they are in the house."

Wait for us to go in, won't you live up to her intentions when you go? ”

Seeing that Yan didn't answer, Xia Xinchao pushed Xia's mother without a trace, and she realized that there was something important today, not the time to quarrel.

I don't know why, she obviously knew that she should please the Yan family at this time, but she was used to being powerful in front of the Yan family, and she couldn't pull down that face for a while.

But Xia Yan is the biggest bargaining chip to realize her daughter's wish, and she can't offend anything today.

"It's not right, let's go inside." Xia Mu's attitude suddenly softened, "Your father is still waiting in the house." ”

Then, she looked at Xia Yan with what she thought was the most kind expression: "Yan'er, grandma is old and always confused, if she says something that makes you angry, you must not mind."

Yes. ”

Xia Yan snorted and nodded quietly at Yan's family.

Yan understood that his daughter was agreeing to go in.

So she took Xia Yan and Xia Huai to follow Xia Mu into the house.

When a few people entered the room, they saw a round table that could seat about ten people, and a few simple meals were placed on it.

Father Xia sat on the kang not far from the dining table, smoking a puff of cigarettes.

"Daddy." When Yan entered the house, he walked to Xia's father and bowed.

"Here, sit down." If it weren't for the last resort, Father Xia really didn't want to face the three Yan family, after all, they had just taken away someone's house not long ago.

If Xia's mother hadn't told him that she had come up with this method in order to save her daughter's reputation, Xia's father would not have agreed to eat this meal.

Yesterday's incident with his daughter reached his ears, and he was embarrassed to go out of the door now.

The matter has come to this point, and it can only be seen how Xia Mu is ready to solve it.

Yan greeted Wang and Zhao respectively, and after everyone arrived, Xia Xinchao, who was in charge of arranging seats, encountered a problem.

The population of the Xia family is not large compared to some large families, and there is no need for men and women to sit separately, only a round table is enough.

On weekdays, a family of ten people uses that round table more than enough, but today there are three more Yan people, no matter how you look at it, this table can't sit down.

Xia Xinchao looked at everyone embarrassedly, it was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing, and it was really hard to distinguish.

He tried to come up with a solution: "Why don't you get a small table for the girls?" ”

This is not Xia Xinchao's patriarchy, but his sister-in-law is extremely protective of calves, and regards her two sons more than anything else, if they don't let them sit at the same table with adults, I'm afraid

I'm afraid that the Wang family will not agree.

Since Wang's son can sit at the big table, why can't his Xia Xinchao's son.

Then the only ones left are Xia Ling'er and Xia Yan.

The two children already have a good relationship, and it's okay to sit together, and it's okay for the remaining eleven people to squeeze in.

So there was Xia Xinchao's proposal just now.

This proposal forcibly excluded Xia Yan, who should have been the protagonist, and I have to say that Xia Xinchao's brain was afraid that it was in the water, so he came up with such an idea.

It's no wonder that who has made Xia Yan the one with the weakest sense of presence in the Xia family all along.

Except for Xia Weiwei, who is inexplicably jealous of her, and Xia Ling'er, who likes her the most, basically no one thinks of her.

"Nonsense!" Xia Mu shouted angrily, "How did you divide the third child, I really can't count on it more and more." What are we going to say if you separate Xia Yan away? ”

Xia Mu pointed to a group of children and glanced at him: "Let Xia Chen, Xia Qi, Xia Jun and Ling'er sit at the small table, the adults have something to talk about, and it has nothing to do with them, and the children sit on the side."

Just eat. ”

Although Xia Mu is annoying, she still has some advantages, the most commendable of which is that she has never been patriarchal.

Unlike other mothers-in-law who only think about holding their grandchildren, no matter how dissatisfied she is with her daughters-in-law, she has never dwelt about having a daughter.

For her, giving birth to boys and girls is the same, what you should not like is not like, for example, Xia Huai and Xia Qi are both her grandsons, and they are about the same age, but Xia Qi was Xia

The mother's pet is lawless, but Xia Huai basically hasn't seen Xia's mother's good face.

"I don't want it, there's less meat on the small table, I won't go." As soon as he heard that he had been assigned to the small table, Xia Qi was a hundred unwilling.

He knew that if he sat at a small table, he could only eat the food from the big table, and there were only four of them, how much could they get?

Thinking of having to share a table with Xia Jun, who must grab meat for himself at every meal, and eating such a small portion of the meal, Xia Qi really couldn't bear it.

"Yes, mother, when Qi'er is growing her body, how can she not eat more meat? And Chen'er too, eat more to be strong and talk about your daughter-in-law. "Wang's response to this distribution is very good

Dissatisfied.

Originally, when she heard that she was going to invite the Yan family to dinner, she was reluctant, and now she wants to let his sons sit at the small table, isn't this sincere not to let the children eat enough, no,

She will not compromise.

"Bastard!" Father Xia, who had been smoking and not talking on the side, was annoyed, "Look at the fat heads and big ears of your two sons, still eat?" I know how to eat and eat all day long, in addition to eating

Do? Do you think we won't let them eat when they sit at a small table? What do you think of your father and mother, how can you make sense! ”

The Wang family is not afraid of anyone except Xia Xinhai in his life, but he is still a little afraid of this father-in-law who usually doesn't like to talk much.

Seeing that Father Xia was angry, even if the Wang family was dissatisfied, he could only hold back.

After arranging the two sons with coaxing, she carefully found a vacant seat to sit down, which happened to be opposite Xia Yan.

Xia Yan didn't really want to come to dinner today, nor did he come to listen to Xia Weiwei's apology, he just wanted to find an opportunity to disgust the disgusting family, and take a look at them by the way

What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.

Today's dish is fried by Zhao's, seven adults and six children, only two big pot vegetables, which is really not much.

A pot of sauerkraut fried meat, a pot of fried shredded potatoes, and three other pots next to it, respectively containing steamed sweet potatoes, wowotou and porridge.

In this world, which seems a little strange to Xia Yan, when it comes to winter, there are simply so few vegetables that can be eaten that it is outrageous.

In this season, the price of vegetables is several times more expensive than meat.

Ordinary people almost survive the winter on easy-to-preserve potatoes, sweet potatoes and pickles.

So today's meal is not cold for an ordinary person.

Except, of course, for the slightly clear porridge.

"Yan'er, you haven't eaten meat for a long time." As soon as the banquet began, Xia's mother kindly sandwiched some dishes for Xia Yan, "Come, eat more to satisfy your hunger." ”

Looking at the few slices of fat mixed with the pickled blackened sauerkraut, Xia Yan said that she really couldn't eat it.

Although it is fatty meat that makes people lose their appetite, it is also a rare thing for ordinary people, and poor people can't even eat fatty meat.

You must know that the previous Xia Yan family could only buy meat once a month, and the best time was to buy some pork belly to satisfy their cravings, and it was the kind that was thin and fat

。

Seeing that the meat had been placed in Xia Yan's bowl, she couldn't help but wonder, what happened to this old woman today, she was willing to put meat on herself?

According to this old woman's temperament, let alone eat a bite of her meat, even if she takes a needle and a thread, she also has to settle accounts with the other party.

Judging from her indefatigable and unstoppable character, apologizing or anything is not worth setting such a table for her at all.

It seems that she has something to ask for.

Just when Xia Yan muttered in her heart, thinking that Xia's mother had changed her temperament, there was a sudden "snap", which made the room quiet instantly.

When everyone heard the sound, it turned out that Xia Qi threw out the chopsticks in his hand.

"Xia Qi, what's the matter with you!" Father Xia's face darkened, "What are you messing around in front of outsiders, what about your upbringing?" If you don't want to eat, get out of here, and the face of the family will be yours

Lost all. ”

"Ahhhh......h

, Look at this porridge again, it is thin to the bottom, and this nest is hard like a stone, and even the fried potatoes don't put much oil, it's so unpalatable! ”
