The blind date is just an episode for Gao Dian.

There is another important reason for him to come back this time, that is, Grandpa Gao Dian is going to celebrate his 80th birthday, and he, as a grandson, wants to celebrate his birthday.

However, it is still early for Gao Dian's grandfather's 80th birthday, and during this time, Gao Dian can only stay at home.

Occasionally, in order to fulfill his lies, he also goes out for a walk from time to time, nominally for dating, but actually going to the county town to play.

As for Peng Xue, he didn't have any contact, mainly because they were pretending to be and had nothing to do with it.

Time passed day by day, and there were still two days to go, and it was the day of Grandpa Gao Dian's 80th birthday.

According to the customs of the countryside here in Gaodian, the birthday banquet needs to be prepared one day in advance, and the day in advance is to ask the people of the production team to help. For example, banquets in rural areas are generally more troublesome, such as pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches, and food processing, all of which need to be helped.

Now there is that kind of one-stop service, but the price is more expensive.

Gao Dian's side still retains the habit of helping the production team, not only because of money, but more importantly, it is a little more humane.

I have something here, you come to help, you have something there, I also go over to help, you help me, I help you, and the human touch comes out like this.

Of course, it is not all good, and there are some disadvantages, such as economic pressure and so on.

The banquet is not held on Gao Dian's side, but on Gao Dian's uncle's side, but Gao Dian's family still has to pay for it, and they have to go over to help.

That night, just after eating, Gao Dian went back to the room after washing, and after a while, Gao Dian came out to go to the toilet, passed by the door of his parents' room, and heard his parents talking inside.

Out of curiosity, Gao Dian ran over and listened.

"How much money do you have at home?" Mother Zhou Yanxia asked.

Immediately afterwards, his father Gao Huaqiang's voice came from inside: "The money that can be moved is only twenty or thirty thousand, and the rest of the money is saved for a fixed time." ”

"Twenty or thirty thousand should be enough, this time the three of you brothers will pay together, it should be enough." Zhou Yanxia said.

"It should be enough, the eldest brother asked us to go over to discuss that day, and it will cost about 20,000 yuan per person, as for the specifics, we still have to talk about it after it is done." Gao Huaqiang said.

"What about the gift money?" Zhou Yanxia asked.

"What we mean is that we don't want the gift money for Dad." Gao Huaqiang said.

Mother Zhou Yanxia said: "I don't have any opinion, but can those two agree?" ”

"I don't know about this, anyway, it's up to them to go home and talk about it." Gao Huaqiang said.

"Forget it, I don't care about this, you can do whatever you want. My son is about to get married, and the car and house are ........"

"Alas~, I'm going to wait for this father's birthday banquet to be over, and I'll go to find a construction site to work, and I can earn one more point." Gao Huaqiang said.

"Yes, but you're not too young, are people still willing to ask you when you go to the construction site?" Mother said.

"I asked, if I still want it, although I'm a little older, it's still okay to pick and choose." Father said.

"Okay, then I'll ask how the piglets are sold in a few days, I'll buy a few, I'll feed a few more pigs at home this year, as well as chickens and ducks or something, I can also feed more."

What was said later, Gao Dian didn't continue to listen, he quietly went to the toilet, and then went back to his room to sleep.

...........

Time flies, and Gao Dian comes to the uncle's house to help.

As half of the master's family, Gao Dian has a lot to do. The cousin also came back with the family to help, and the two brothers chatted while they were busy. Most of the topic is about Gao Dian's participation in the competition,

There are a lot of people from the production team, and they are all here to help.

The women help to choose the vegetables, wash the dishes, and the men kill chickens, ducks and fish, cut meat and vegetables, and so on. There are also some heavy work, which are done by male compatriots, such as moving stools and tables.

The chef has already started to get busy, this is a master, and there are two apprentices around him, most of the work is done by the apprentices, and the master is responsible for checking and coordinating.

Gao Dian was interested in this, so he ran over and stood aside and watched.

I have to say that these masters who make banquets in the countryside have two brushes, and what they do may not be too amazing, but it is definitely not unpalatable. And dozens of tables of dishes can also be held very steadily.

This is an experience accumulated over many years, and it is worth learning from Gao Dian.

.................

On the other side, Xu Kongjie was a little nervous, and Gao Ran in the car kept comforting Xu Kongjie.

"Don't be nervous, my parents don't eat people." Gao Ran said.

"What do you think your parents will do if they are not happy with me?" Xu Kongjie asked worriedly.

"Oops! Don't worry, they're happy with you, and I've shown them your pictures. Gao Ran said.

"No, I'm still a little nervous." Xu Kongjie said.

"Forget it, I don't bother to care about you." Gao Ran said.

She persuaded all the way, but it still didn't work, she didn't understand, as for being so nervous? When she went to see Xu Kongjie's parents, she was not as nervous as him.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Gao Ran didn't want to continue persuading.

This time, she took Xu Kongjie home to meet her parents.

In fact, Gao Ran's parents have been urging this matter for a long time, because Xu Kongjie has not mustered up the courage, so he has been dragging it out until now.

Gao Ran's grandfather is 80 years old, and he can't talk about it if he doesn't come back, so Gao Ran took this opportunity to take Xu Kongjie back to see his parents.

Of course, Xu Kongjie is still very nervous, and when he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time, he was very nervous.

Fortunately, Xu Kongjie thought that Gao Dian was at home, so his heart was a little better, but the tension was still there.

After a while, the two arrived, and Xu Kongjie carried a small package of gifts, which was not only Gao Ran's parents', but also Gao Ran's uncle and second uncle's family.

As soon as he arrived, Xu Kongjie was warmly received, but he himself was a little embarrassed and nervous, Xu Kongjie dealt with Gao Ran's relatives on the side, and sent a message to Gao Dian for help, but unfortunately there was no response.

What he didn't know was that Gao Dian was talking to the master chef who was cooking at the moment.

Things have to go back to the time when Gao Dian was watching the master prepare the ingredients, but he didn't expect the master to ask him if he was interested in these.

Gao Dian naturally replied yes, so the two talked like this.

The rise of the conversation, Gao Dian also ignored Xu Kongjie's request for help, he didn't look at his mobile phone, and he didn't know that Xu Kongjie asked him for help.

As the conversation continued, the master found that this young man knew a lot about cooking, and this young man knew a lot of what he said. What surprised him even more was that this young man was very smart, and he could understand a lot of things, and he didn't need to talk about it at all.

So the master asked, "Young man, do you have a master?" ”

Gao Dian shook his head and said, "No, but I have a teacher." ”

When the master heard the word "teacher", he thought to himself that this should be a student who studied cooking in school, and now there are many cooking schools, but these cooking schools can't learn much. At the very least, some of the secret skills of the older generation of chefs will definitely not be learned in school.

For a while, the old master had a heart of love for talent, and he said: "Young man, why don't you worship me as a teacher." ”

Gao Dian was stunned, he really didn't expect that this old master would suddenly take him as an apprentice, Gao Dian didn't have the idea of apprenticeship, he already had a teacher, although he was not a master, but he was better than a master.

"I'm sorry, I can't worship you as a teacher, although I don't have a master, but my teacher is the same as my master." Gao Dian said.

When the master heard this, although it was a pity, he didn't care too much, he just had the idea of cherishing his talents for a while, and there was nothing if he couldn't accept apprentices.

"Then forget it." The old master said with a smile.

Gao Dian looked at the master apologetically, at this time, the master began to get busy, and Gao Dian was inconvenient to disturb, so he said a word to the master and left.

At this time, Gao Dian noticed that the mobile phone was vibrating wildly, and he took out his mobile phone to see that it was Xu Kongjie who had sent him countless messages, and he was still sending them.

Gao Dian flipped up, and finally understood the cause and effect, and knew that it was him who came to see his parents.

In fact, Gao Dian didn't want to go, but looking at Xu Kongjie's pleading tone, Gao Dian still decided to rescue him.

When he came to the house, Gao Dian found that Xu Kongjie was being pulled by the seven aunts and eight aunts to ask questions, like how many people in the family, what their parents do, and where they work.

And although Xu Kongjie wanted to escape very much in his heart, he still had to smile gently on the surface.

Gao Dian wanted to laugh when he watched from the sidelines, but it was a little inappropriate, so Gao Dian couldn't help but laugh.

He walked over and pretended to be surprised and said, "Why are you here?" ”

At this time, a relative asked: "Xiaodian, do you know?" ”

Gao Dian nodded and said, "Yes, my college classmate." ”

After a pause, Gao Dian picked up Xu Kongjie and left, and said to these relatives at the same time: "Let's go over there, this kid is here, you have to help." ”

Walking out of the door, Xu Kongjie lowered his face and said, "I sent you so many messages, why did you come here now?" ”

Gao Dian smiled: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice it before." ”

"I see you're having a good time talking there."

Hearing Gao Dian's words, Xu Kongjie was immediately unhappy, "You don't know, I feel like I have to be asked by them even if I urinated on the bed a few times when I was a child." ”

"Not really." Gao Dian said.

Xu Kongjie said with palpitations: "What's not, it's very good!" ”

"Okay, okay, I don't see a parent, it's as serious as you said?" Gao Dian said indifferently.

Xu Kongjie glanced at him and said, "Heh, you say that now, you won't know until it's your turn." ”

"It's still early." Gao Dian said with a smile.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, go over and work, so that no one will look for you." Gao Dian said.

Xu Kongjie hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, what are we going to do?" ”

Gao Dian pondered for a while and asked, "Will you kill chickens?" ”

Xu Kongjie shook his head.

"What about the fish?"

Xu Kongjie still shook his head.

"Meat cutters, right?"

Xu Kongjie still shook his head.

Gao Dian was silent, and after a long time, he said, "Forget it, then I'll go and get you some garlic, you can peel the garlic." Peeling garlic, right? ”

Xu Kongjie nodded and said, "I will!" ”

"Yes."

Gao Dian went to get some garlic and came over, and sat while peeling garlic with Xu Kongjie while chatting.

After a while, Gao Ran came out of it, she wasn't there just now, she was probably called for questioning, and now she has just finished being asked.

"Why are you here?" Gao Ran asked.

"It's good here, it's good here." Xu Kongjie said.

"Uh, dude, you're there too." Gao Ran said.

"Hmm." Gao Dian responded.

Subsequently, Gao Ran sat down and also helped peel the garlic, Xu Kongjie told Gao Ran what had just happened, which caused Gao Ran to smile again and again.

Gao Ran didn't stay for a while and left, Xu Kongjie was accompanied by Gao Dian, but Gao Ran didn't worry about anything.

After lunch, by the afternoon, there wasn't much to help with.

So everyone is free, so they organize and play cards for entertainment, which is a popular issue for them here.

Of course, entertainment is the mainstay, although there are some colorful heads, but they are not big.

In the afternoon, Xu Kongjie and Gao Dian found a place to sit, Xu Kongjie said: "You have a birthday here, there are so many people the day before!" ”

"Yes, it's all a team, everyone has something to help." Gao Dian said with a smile.

"Won't you have more people tomorrow?" Xu Kongjie asked.

"Definitely, the people who come now are basically from the production team, and there are one or two people from each family to help, and there are some relatives and friends, and the rest of the people in their own production team have not yet come." Gao Dian said.

"I feel like you guys are very tired from running banquets, and you have to be busy on the first day." Xu Kongjie said.

"It's going to be busy for three days, and there will be people today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Today is to help prepare, tomorrow is the main seat, and the day after tomorrow is to help clean up. Gao Dian said with a smile.

Xu Kongjie was a little stunned when he heard this, "So, don't I have to eat for three days?" ”

"That's right." Gao Dian nodded.

"Hiss~" Xu Kongjie took a breath of cool air.

Xu Kongjie doesn't know how to play cards here, although he is accompanied by Gao Dian, he still feels a little bored, mainly because he doesn't know what to do except chat.

Gao Dian proposed to go to the county seat to play, but Xu Kongjie refused, he is now coming to the door for the first time, and he must have a good image.

At this time, my cousin came back in a car, and he drove away after eating at noon, not knowing what to do.

As soon as he got out of the car, Gao Dian found that his cousin's face was not very good-looking, and he hurried into the house.

Gao Dian raised his eyebrows, a little curious, but he didn't care about anything.

At this time, Gao Ran came back, his face was flushed, and he said to Xu Kongjie: "Brother Jie, my mother called you over." ”

Xu Kongjie was stunned, "What did you ask me to do?" ”

Gao Ran shook his head and said, "How do I know, anyway, I just called you over." ”

"Okay." Xu Kongjie agreed.

He can ignore everyone else, but Gao Ran's mother told him to go over, so he couldn't help but go.

If you offend your mother-in-law before you get married, don't think about getting married.

After Xu Kongjie left, he had nothing to do and didn't know what to do.
