After the meal, Wang's father led a casual chat with Li Siyi.

Li Siyi's good cultivation, demeanor, and temperament easily convinced the old and young of the Wang family.

Wang's father asked her where she was from, asked her family, and asked her whether she would settle down in the village or Xidu after she got married.

When I heard that although she was Chinese, she was born and grew up in the United States, and she was an out-and-out American person. Dad Wang's eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Wang Xiao, and he almost gave a thumbs up.

When I heard that both parents had died in the family, and now she was the only one. Wang's father told Li Siyi with certainty that this will be her home in the future, and they will treat her like a daughter.

But when he heard that Li Siyi would still live in the United States and Huaxia in the future, Wang's father was a little unhappy. When a woman is married, she should marry her husband and children, and serve the man. It's not stable at all, how can the family be good.

Wang Xiao helped: "Siyi will follow me in the future, she will be where I am, and I will run around in the future." ”

Dad Wang asked the most embarrassing question about age, and Wang Xiao prevaricated.

Then Wang Xiao told Wang's father that Li Siyi was going back to the United States tomorrow.

Dad Wang decided to invite all his relatives over for a meal, and Dad Wang said that Siyi has no family anymore, and inviting relatives to have a meal will be regarded as an engagement banquet for the two of you.

Wang Xiao said: "Then let Siyi take care of it and see your daughter-in-law's craftsmanship." ”

went out to communicate with my sister-in-law, and then took Li Siyi to the county seat to buy vegetables.

Gujiatang Village, where Wang Xiao's home is located, belongs to Chenhe Township, Dong'an County. There is a market in the township, but it is only once a week. Usually, if you want to buy vegetables or something, you have to go to the county seat 20 kilometers away to buy them.

Chenhe Township is a small township with a population of less than 10,000 and a permanent population of just over 7,000. The whole township is in a long and narrow dam, and the Chen River passes through the whole township, connecting nine village committees and sixteen natural villages, so the people of Chenhe Township will say that there are nine villages and one river when they talk about Chenhe Township.

Chenhe Township is in the middle of the county seat and the provincial capital, Wang Xiao took Li Siyi, out of the village, and went straight to the county seat.

When I arrived in the county seat, there was nothing to visit, so I went directly to the farmers' market to buy vegetables. I bought all the planned raw materials and went home.

The two of them bought all the ingredients for home-cooked food, which was of high level, and they made it for relatives to eat, so that they could make home-cooked food to highlight their skills more. Make some dishes that are not often eaten, and others may not be able to eat them.

Rural people comment on other people's daughters-in-law, and cooking skills are an important criterion. Since Dad wants to invite his relatives to dinner, let Li Siyi show his hand, let Dad have more face, and let Siyi add extra points and let his family recognize a little more.

In the future, even if Li Siyi's age problem is exposed, there will be enough recognition for the family to accept the fact that this 'older' Li Siyi has become a daughter-in-law, so that they will not be vetoed by their parents because of their age. Otherwise, once you don't recognize it, once you become a thorn in your heart, it will have a great impact on the relationship of the whole family.

No matter how good Li Siyi is, if he doesn't agree, he will have the idea that no matter how good you are, I can't look down on you, no matter how good you are, I don't want you to be my son and daughter-in-law.

And this kind of thinking is too difficult to dispel and remedy. If it's someone else, and you don't agree with me, then just don't get along.

But family members can't be separated, there is always blood involved, and they always have to intersect.

When the two returned home, relatives had already arrived.

The relatives who were far away came first, mainly relatives on the side of Wang's mother's house, two uncles and two aunts lived far away, and they came after receiving a call from Wang's father. Wang Xiao's brothers and cousins have a big age difference, and the youngest cousin is the same size as Wang Xiao's nephew.

The three cousins and nephews played in the yard.

Wang Xiao took Li Siyi to meet with his uncle, aunt and uncle, Li Siyi's beauty amazed them, and Wang's father was humble on his lips, and he smiled so much that he couldn't see it.

Wang Xiao saw that the time was almost up, so he and Li Siyi went to the kitchen to get busy, and Wang's mother and sister-in-law Zhao Xiao'e wanted to help several times, but they were all 'bombed' out by Wang Xiao.

Wang's mother went to accompany her brothers and sisters, and the sisters didn't see each other often, so naturally there were endless topics to talk about.

Sister-in-law Zhao Xiao'e snuggled up to the door of the kitchen, watching the two of them busy, and after watching for a while, the sister-in-law found that the two of them were quite tacit and basically didn't speak, but they cooperated quite well. And the two of them do things cleanly and neatly, cooperate well, and naturally do things quickly.

Zhao Xiao'e said enviously: "Second brother, it would be good if your brother had your speed in doing things." The two of you are really a couple, with a tacit understanding and fast hands and feet. ”

Wang Xiao smiled innocently: "Brother is not bad." ”

After Zhao Xiao'e got married, she rarely saw this second brother, and she didn't know that he was such a neat person before.

Not long after, Wang Xiao's uncles and aunts came.

The uncle also went to the kitchen to take a look and looked at the new nephew and daughter-in-law. Seeing such a beautiful girl who could still cook in the kitchen, she couldn't help but nodded, much better than the lazy woman Wang Pan in her own house.

Wang Pan, the son of Uncle Wang Xiao's family, begged a wife in the county town and settled his home in the county seat. The daughter-in-law there didn't look down on the uncle's family who lived in the countryside, and it was rare to come back, and she didn't do anything, just waiting to eat ready-made. Uncle Wang Xiao went to the county seat, Wang Pan cooked by himself, and his daughter-in-law either lay on the bed to sleep, or nested on the sofa to watch TV, not to mention the food she cooked, and even the water she poured did not drink a sip.

Uncle Wang Xiao watched it for a few minutes, and then went out.

Soon, Li Siyi made all the dishes, a few cousins and cousins helped, put the dishes on the table, set up four tables in the dining room, and a group of relatives and Wang's father's three good friends sat relaxed.

Wang Xiao's second brother Wang Pan's wife, Ning Xiaofeng, looked at the dishes served on the table, they were all home-cooked dishes, and although they looked good, they were not big dishes. I despised it in my heart, and said that I was looking for a daughter-in-law of the United States, and I would make some of this kind of home-cooked food when I invited someone to dinner, which was really stingy. This is dressed in foreign skin, but in fact, he is still a Chinese person, and he will only cook home-cooked food.

Only Ning Xiaofeng, who thinks he is from the city, will see it this way. When others saw that the dishes were good, a friend of Wang's father boasted that the dishes were beautifully cooked, and those chefs served them at this level.

Ning Xiaofeng muttered: "What is it if it looks good, it is important to be delicious." ”

That Wang Pan was next to Ning Xiaofeng with his hand, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

The dishes were all served, everyone was seated, and Dad Wang stood up and said a few words. talked about why he invited relatives and friends to dinner today, and praised Li Siyi a few words.

Dad Wang was still talking, and the three children had already started eating, and the elders of each family stopped him. Country customs, go to other people's houses to eat, and the children at the dinner table do not behave well, which is very embarrassing.

But although Aunt Wang Xiao tried her best to block it, she couldn't stop the seven-year-old son, and the mother and son fought silently on the table.

Finally, Dad Wang finished speaking and invited everyone to eat.

As soon as I ate it, many people immediately praised it. Aunt Wang Xiao, who was still desperately blocking her son from eating alone, let go of her son, and casually picked up some food to eat, and the food reached her mouth, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, no wonder I can't stop this stone from getting rich, it's so delicious." ”

Seeing his son desperately putting vegetables in the bowl again, he couldn't help but scold in shame: "Slow down, finish eating and clipping." ”

But I couldn't help but try a few things, each of which was delicious, and it was even better than those made in the big hotels in the city.

Ning Xiaofeng also swallowed slowly, to show that she had eaten this kind of dish, and she was not in a hurry. But seeing that everyone else was delicious, and not falling behind, she picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and ate it, and as soon as she ate it, the chopsticks couldn't stop, which was worse than the rural people she always despised.

Dad Wang heard that everyone praised the deliciousness, smiled and picked up the wine glass to invite wine, took a sip of wine, and looked at the dishes on the table, very pleased.

Halfway through eating, Wang Xiao suddenly stood up and asked, "Is the food made by Siyi fragrant?" Is it delicious? ”

The little cousin puffed his mouth and said indistinctly: "It's delicious, it's delicious, my tongue is going to swallow it." ”

There are several elders who are not very old, and they all say that it is delicious!

Uncle Wang Xiao praised: "In these nine villages and one river, there is nothing more delicious than this eldest niece's fried." ”

Li Siyi said, if it is delicious, the family will send you a chef in the future to help you cook.

When she said this, everyone didn't know what she was saying, thinking that she said it casually, and no one pursued it deeply.

Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and pulled Li Siyi up, pulled her up, and said to everyone: "Let's talk about it later, let's talk about this first." Although I haven't gotten married yet, this Li Siyi will be my Wang Xiao's daughter-in-law in the future, does my father agree or not? ”

Dad Wang should be loud and agree! Dad Wang, who drank almost the same, had that voice and that spirit, and he swallowed mountains and rivers with air, and he said everything he could.

Wang Xiao asked Wang's mother again: "Does my mother agree?" Wang Ma also agreed.

Wang Xiao asked his grandmother again: "Does grandma agree?" ”

Grandma laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth: "Agreed, agreed!" ”

Wang Xiao asked his brother and sister-in-law if they agreed, and Wang Cheng and Zhao Xiao'e naturally had no reason to object.

Wang Xiao then asked, is there anyone who objects?

The cousins and a few cousins all shouted loudly: "If there is no objection, let's go to the cave room at night." ”

Everyone laughed for a moment.

Wang Xiao said that they all agreed, and no one objected, including his parents, and he would not regret it in the future!

Fan Chunhua, the little cousin of the second uncle's family, supported her cousin and said: "Yes, you can't regret it, whoever regrets it is a puppy!" ”

The second uncle scolded him, and the child's family, don't talk nonsense.

The cousins all laughed!

After eating, the relatives stayed for a while, and they were almost dispersed, only the three uncles and families were still playing.

There are four brothers and four brothers, and a little sister. Wang's father was the second in line, and when the family was separated, Wang Xiao's grandfather was assigned to the uncle's family, and Wang Xiao's grandmother was assigned to Wang Xiao's family. Wang Xiao's grandfather died early, but Wang Xiao's grandmother was blessed by Wang Xiao, her body was better, her teeth were better, and she was still in good spirits when she was in her eighties.

Grandma Wang Xiao likes Li Siyi very much, and she has been holding her hand and talking after eating.

While they were talking, Wang Xiao and his brother went upstairs to clean up the room. Although tonight is an engagement, rural customs do not allow unmarried young people to sleep together. So I have to clean up a guest room for Li Siyi to live in, although the guest room is usually very clean, but if I don't clean up, Wang Xiao feels sorry for Li Siyi.

Grandma Wang Xiao was talking, and suddenly asked Li Siyi: "Girl, how old are you this year?" ”

Li Siyi was embarrassed, Wang's father asked at noon, and Wang Xiao prevaricated in the past, and now grandma asked again, it's really hard to deceive the old man, just tell the truth, it's forty-eight this year.

Grandma Wang Xiao asked again: "How old are you?" ”

Li Siyi still said: "Forty-eight." ”

Suddenly, the whole room was so quiet that you could hear a needle.
