Ding Xiang was busy preparing food. When she saw Shu Wan coming, she said loudly, "Wan'er, what are you standing there for?" Come and help! It's almost time to start eating, do you still have the appearance of a junior? ”

"That's it!" Uncle Ding Dagang echoed.

Except for the second aunt Ding Qing, the second aunt Xue Yong, and Ding Xiang, everyone else played mahjong in the living room. Aunt Su Li is running on both sides. I'll go to the kitchen for a while, and I'll come to play mahjong for a while. But I didn't see her doing any work, she played the role of a supervisor, and I always heard her instruct Ding Xiang to wash this and Ding Qingduan that.

Su Li hurriedly glared at Ding Dagang and said, "Wan'er, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. Are you tired from a long day's work? Sit down and rest. With your aunt here, do you still need to do things? ”

Xue Xiao snorted and laughed, and said, "Dare to love, it's not my cook's father who cooks, but your aunt?" ”

"Look at what you say, baby. This person who buys vegetables and washes vegetables, washes dishes and dishes, and has no hands? Su Li replied.

"Then go out and eat. Anyway, there are only two tables, and even if a table costs 1,000, it will cost less than 5,000 yuan. What are you busy with? Xue said with a smile.

For this meal, except for the uncle's family, the other seven families each contributed 1,000 each.

"You know what? Eating and eating, eating is the lively and lively energy of the family. What's it to eat out? Socializing, huh? Eat at home to eat the taste of home! Su Li said.

"My dad is a cook. What he does is the taste of the restaurant. If you want to eat the taste of being a monk, aunt, you have to cook this meal! Xue said with a smile.

"You——! Sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, be careful not to get married! Su Li couldn't say anything about Xue Xiao, and said viciously.

"If marrying out is a disaster to someone else's family, then it is better not to marry!" Xue smiled and said. Because my grandmother always said in private that my uncle's nature is good, it is because I married my aunt and lost my conscience, which caused my uncle to support his mother and didn't want to pay a penny, but just wanted to have a good name.

"Xue Xiao, are you itchy skin?!" Ding Qing was busy serving the dishes, and when he heard the movement here, he came over angrily to prevent Xue Xiao from making any more strange remarks and causing disputes.

Xue Xiao stuck out her tongue, pulled Shu Wan to sit down on the sofa, and said, "Sister, let me ask you, have you recruited any new young talents in your department recently?" ”

Shu Wan works for a large pharmaceutical group. Her usual job is to review pharmacological research reports. Their unit is known for its good benefits and benefits.

"Yes, but it's a bit low, less than one meter six five." Shu Wan said.

"It's okay to be low. It has been said that the size of the child is more than the mother. I'm tall. What is his family like? Xue Xiao asked.

"I don't know." Shu Wan replied.

"Sister, my good sister, you go back and help me inquire. I'm almost twenty-five, and I'm going to have to marry myself off quickly. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Twenty to twenty-five years old is the best time in a woman's life."

"Forehead ......"

"At this time, you can still pick one. After that point, you can only let others choose. ”

"You're exaggerating, aren't you?"

"Really, really. Let me tell you, when I look in the mirror now, I feel that I am not as young and energetic as before. You see, I have fine lines at the corners of my eyes. ”

"That's because you have too many things to worry about, what does it have to do with your age? You've been looking old since you were a child. Xue Ying came over with melon seeds, sat on the arm of the sofa, and said.

"you! You dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth. Big cousin, please, please, the happiness of the rest of my life depends on you! Xue said with a smile.

Ding Mingzhuan pulled his slippers down from the second floor and said, "Xiaoxiao, your loud voice has woken up my brother." Didn't I introduce you to a rich second generation last time? ”

"Cut, don't talk about it. The first time we met, I pulled someone and said to go to the room to chat, am I a fool? Xue Xiao said angrily.

"People have money. When the time comes, you won't suffer a loss. Ding Ming said disapprovingly.

"Ming, what do you listen to yourself?!" Grandma was upset and said, "That's your sister!" ”

She also sits on the sofa in the living room and doesn't watch TV. I don't know what she's thinking. I heard Ding Ming say this and interjected.

"Grandma, in your eyes, aren't all women like mustard?" Ding Ming said with a smile.

"That was before! I used to rely on labor to eat. Is there a big difference between men and women in this society? Everyone fights for IQ. Look at you, if you have half of Wan'er's ability, your father won't have to beg his brothers and sisters for everything. Besides, chastity has been very important to a woman since ancient times. How can you say such a thing, it's so unusual! Grandma said.

"Mom, okay, what did you explain?" Seeing that her grandmother blamed her baby son, Su Li was unhappy.

She spoke softly and said to Ding Ming, "I've slept all afternoon, are you hungry?" Hurry up and wash your face, and the meal will start soon. ”

"Bean Sprouts is still sleeping with his mother, do you want to wake him up?" Ding Ming asked.

Bean sprouts is Ding Ming's son, who is more than two years old this year. Originally, Ding Xiang and the others did not agree to call the child's nickname "Bean Sprouts", for fear of bad luck and the child's height was not tall. But Ding Ming's daughter-in-law likes to eat bean sprouts, so she has to call her son bean sprouts. I also blame Ding Ming's superstitions.

"No, no, let them sleep more. How uncomfortable it was to wake up. Su Li said.

"It's eaten, it's eaten!" After a while, Ding Xiang shouted loudly.

After shouting for a long time, the few people who were playing mahjong began to walk to the table one after another.

During the meal, my grandmother motioned for everyone to raise their glasses. She said: "I'm also in my nineties, and I've had enough of this life. I've been dreaming for a while, and I've always seen the old man tell me that he was very lonely, and told me to hurry down and accompany him—"

"Mom, this is your birthday, what nonsense?" Ding Xiang interrupted her and said, "Come on, come on, let's wish Mom a better birthday than Nanshan!" It's going to be a better day. In a few years, we are still waiting for you to celebrate your 100th birthday! Don't you love to listen to theater? When the time comes, we will invite a troupe to go back to their hometown and let them sing for ten days and ten nights. ”

"That's it! Mom, Shoubi Nanshan"

"Grandma, blessed as the East China Sea!"

……

Everyone said auspicious words and touched each other's cups.

During the meal, my grandmother suddenly said, "Dagang, when my mother is old (dialect: dead), you won't ask your younger brothers and sisters for money anymore, you know?" ”

"Mom, my eldest sister has said it, tell you to stop talking nonsense!" Ding Dagang said impatiently.

"Dagang, don't embarrass your younger brothers and sisters anymore. Look at today, how many juniors have come? It's not like buying this house to make a fuss. I'm old, but I'm not confused. Knowing this, I might as well live in my mud house, and celebrate my birthday every year. Grandma complained.

"You can go back if you want to, who stopped you?" Ding Dagang said unhappily.

Grandma really stood up and said, "Xiang'er, send me back to my hometown!" ”

Ding Xiang was startled, and hurriedly hugged his mother and said, "Mom, what are you doing here?" It's not a good meal. ”

"Xiang'er, Mom wants to go home. Send me home. "Grandma suddenly lost her temper like a child.
