On the night his parents returned to the fishing village, in order to avoid being criticized by his parents, Xu Haibao came up with a way to invite village cadres to his home for dinner, hoping to escape the end of being reprimanded by his parents. Someone can help say something nice, and you can reduce some of the firepower.

Although Xu Haibao's current age, if he is replaced by other peers who married early, it is estimated that he is also the father of the child. But in Xu Haibao's view, parents are always parents, and if parents are angry, it is what a son of man should do.

Looking at her son who was busy in the kitchen, Zhu Fen, Xu's mother, who came back from the third aunt's house, saw through Xu Haibao's tricks at a glance. It's just that after chatting with the third aunt, Zhu Fen is no longer as angry as when she just returned to the village.

After all, when she visited the village before, she listened to the seven aunts and eight aunts in the village, praising her for raising a good son!

Facing the third aunt who was about to go into the kitchen to help, Zhu Fen said directly: "Amin, forget it, let this kid do it! This kid can't do anything else, and his cooking skills are not bad." Let him cook this meal tonight!"

The third aunt, who heard this, smiled and said, "You are really willing! Baowa can cook?"

"Before he was in the army, this kid knew how to cook. After I came back, I ate a few meals he cooked, and they still tasted good. Especially when it comes to seafood, it has a hand. Let him cook this meal tonight, he wants to please him!"

With Zhu Fen's words, Xu Haibao, who was processing seafood in the kitchen, also felt that his mother really knew him too well. On the other hand, the third aunt who heard this felt that Zhu Fen did have a set of teaching her children.

Fortunately, Xu Qingya felt very sorry for her brother, and also went into the kitchen to help. When Xu Liyan came home from the dock and saw a pair of children who were busy in the kitchen, he naturally knew what the brother and sister had in mind.

Beckoned Xu Licheng, the third uncle who came back with him, to sit down and drink tea, and ignored the busy brother and sister. Until the village head Xu Mingcheng and the militia company commander Du Jianyu entered the door, Xu Liyan, as the owner, also received him warmly.

Xu Mingcheng, who came over after going home and changing into clean clothes, saw Xu Liyan and his wife sitting in the yard, but did not see Xu Haibao and his sisters. Slightly curious, he said: "Liyan, what about Baowa and Ya Ya?"

"In the kitchen! That rabbit cub will play this little clever! Brother Cheng, Ah Yu, let's sit down and have a cup of tea first! That rabbit cub's cooking skills are not bad, and it is estimated that he will have to wait for a meeting before he starts eating. There's no hurry, are you?"

"Brother Yan, Sister-in-law Fen, you are really blessed! If that kid in my family can be so sensible and filial as your baby, I guess I will wake up laughing in my dreams!"

Du Jianyu, who came with him, was younger than Du Liyan. thought that Xu Haibao was not a few years older than his son, but after some comparison, his son who went to work in the city broke his heart.

"Ah Yu, isn't your kid working in the city? I heard that he can work okay!"

"What can it be! People in their twenties can't even make their own money. I knew that kid was so unlucky, and when he graduated from high school, he should have sent him to the army. ”

When it comes to his son who graduated from high school, Du Jianyu also really hates iron and steel. Other people's children go to the city to work, and occasionally send money back to the family. After his son went to the city to work, he called him from time to time to ask him to send money.

In contrast, Xu Haibao, who is only a few years older than his son, has been a soldier for five years, not to mention that the 200,000 yuan he paid when he came back did not use the family's money at all. With this comparison, Du Jianyu is naturally even more dissatisfied with his son.

For many parents, everyone wants their children to be successful. In the early years, Xu Liyan and Du Jianyu and others were also playmates with a very strong relationship. It's just that now everyone is a father, and more can only count on the next generation.

Faced with Du Jianyu's helplessness, Xu Liyan also smiled and said: "Ah Yu, the child is still young, let him go outside for a few more years, I believe he will be sensible." If he is really ignorant and finds an opportunity to ask him to come back to fish for a few days, I believe he will know the hardships of life. ”

Although he has been working in the city for some years, Xu Liyan's prestige in the village in his early years was quite high. After all, compared with the academic qualifications of Xu Mingcheng and others, Xu Liyan also studied technical secondary school in his early years, and he was one of the few people with academic qualifications in that era.

It was precisely because he had studied secondary school that Xu Liyan later had the opportunity to go to the city as an apprentice, and after getting married, he went to work in the factory. Even if he returns to the village now, Xu Mingcheng and the others are still very polite to him.

After all, Xu Liyan, who entered the city, always regarded himself as a fisherman. If someone in the village enters the city and needs to find someone to help, the first person who thinks of many people is Xu Liyan. For this, Zhu Fen also complained about him.

Even when he returned to the village, Zhu Fen said very directly after learning about Xu Haibao: "What kind of Lao Tzu there is, what kind of son there is." The father is a warm-hearted person who does not refuse, and the son is even more stupid, giving people money for no reason!"

While everyone was chatting, Xu Haibao looked at the remaining two dishes and said directly: "Girl, it's time to eat." Let the parents entertain the guests to the table, ready to serve the food, and there are only two green vegetables left. ”

"Okay, can you bring out the dishes in the steamer?"

Compared with the dishes fried by Xu Haibao, the dishes that Xu Qingya cares about the most are the grouper and lobster in the big steamer. For her, the other dishes and seafood prepared tonight are foils, and the real protagonists are grouper and lobster.

Hearing this, Xu Haibao was also speechless and said: "It's really unforgettable! Okay, take out the dishes and chopsticks first, the fish and shrimp in the steamer can't run." I'll serve it later, that thing is just out of the pot and it's hot, you know?"

"Okay, I see, hard work!"

Preparing the dishes and chopsticks for eating, Xu Qingya also said in a timely manner: "Dad, Mom, it's time to eat!"

When Xu Liyan, who was sitting in the courtyard, heard this, he also got up with a smile and said, "Brother Cheng, Ah Yu, the third child, let's go in and eat and chat! Try the rabbit cub's craftsmanship, the seafood he makes still tastes very good." ”

"Okay! When Bao Wa came back earlier, I knew he got a lobster on Shrimp Island. Speaking of which, we fish at sea all year round, but we rarely have the opportunity to catch lobsters. Today, it's finally time to open meat!"

Compared with the early years of shrimp island, there are a lot of lobsters, and you can catch a few shrimp pots every day. Nowadays, it is really difficult to catch lobsters near Shrimp Island. And this time, Xu Haibao actually grabbed four of them, which is indeed rare.

After everyone was served, the eldest Xu Mingcheng sat in the host and guest seats. Even if Xu Mingcheng is not the village head, among the people who eat tonight, Xu Mingcheng is also the oldest and the most senior!

Looking at the dishes that Xu Qingya brought out from the kitchen one after another, Xu Mingcheng also smiled and said, "Ya girl, this dish is all fried by your brother?"

"Yes, Uncle Cheng, how is it? My brother is a good cook, right?"

"Well, it looks good. But I'm here today, and I still want to try your handiwork? Do you stir-fry any of these dishes?"

Let Xu Mingcheng ask like this, Xu Qingya blushed a little and said: "Uncle Cheng, I can only steam seafood, not stir-fry! Wait for you to taste my steamed fish, you will definitely like it!"

"Really? Then I'm going to have to try it!"

When chatting and joking with everyone, Xu Haibao was really a little speechless about the steamed seafood that Xu Qingya said. After all, he cleaned up the seafood and asked Xu Qingya to help put it in the pot and put it in the steamer.

Even after the ingredients are out of the pot, Xu Haibao is in charge of them. didn't think about it, Xu Qingya, who put the seafood in the steamer, didn't blush and didn't beat her heart, and directly wiped out his credit. Thinking of this, Xu Haibao really couldn't cry or laugh.

When Xu Haibao opened the steamer, he brought out a large fish plate and served it. Seeing the fish on the plate, Xu Mingcheng was also surprised and said: "Grouper? such a big grouper? Baowa, where did this fish come from? It doesn't look like it was bought!"

"Uncle Cheng, this is what I caught, wild, try it, this thing is rare now. Even if you're the village chief, you probably won't have a chance to eat this! You eat first, and I'll bring the lobster too. ”

smiled and said that the big grouper was wild, and Xu Haibao didn't say that it was fished there. The steamed grouper, the heat and fragrance that come out, still make everyone have a great appetite, and they have raised their chopsticks.

As a piece of fish meat entered his mouth, Xu Mingcheng felt that the fish meat was extremely delicious, tender and refreshing, and full of strength. As an old fisherman, Xu Mingcheng asked himself that he had eaten a lot of wild groupers, but he had never eaten such a delicious large grouper.

Just when Xu Mingcheng appreciated the deliciousness of this plate of big grouper, looking at Xu Qingya, Xu Liyan and others who didn't stop at all, he finally realized that this fish looked full of weight. But if you don't hurry up with the chopsticks, it is estimated that it will be gone in a while.

Even if he felt that this kind of eating was a bit indecent, but seeing that the swordfish was also bored and eating fish, Xu Mingcheng quickly joined the ranks of grabbing fish. In the face of this superb seafood delicacy, everyone seems to have lost interest in talking and chatting.

There is only one thought left in my mind, and that is to quickly move the chopsticks and take the opportunity to eat two more bites. If you start slowly, you probably won't have anything left. Xu Haibao, who saw this scene, also knew that the seafood raised by Nameless Pearls was irresistibly delicious!
