Chapter 80: You're Happy
"You don't have to worry about money, I'll figure it out when I get back."
Su Xiao'e said this, this matter has been put on her agenda.
When Xu Jianshe and Qi Tianming came back, they were carrying two pheasants in their hands.
The two men were talking while walking, although they said this, but Qi Tianming was always talking alone, and Xu Jianshe answered from time to time next to him.
When I returned to the yard, I saw that the two were already cooking, and the two of them were not idle.
One came to the yard and disposed of pheasants, and the other took an axe and began to chop wood.
Because there were guests coming today, Su Xiao'e took one pheasant to make chicken stewed mushrooms, and the other was fried into spicy chicken.
In order to make it easier for men to drink, Su Xiao'e also deliberately made roasted eggplant and fried peanuts, and finally fried two green vegetables.
When Zhang Qinfen and Xu Shaohua came back, the rice happened to be cooked.
Seeing that there were guests at home, and it was Qi Tianming, the director who helped his family last time, the two old men were extremely enthusiastic about Qi Tianming.
"Construction, why don't you tell us when there are guests at home, we can buy some meat and come back."
Xu Shaohua said, with a little anger on his face, while Zhang Qinfen came to the kitchen to help Su Xiao'e set up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Xiao'e, aren't you going to deliver factory clothes today? How did you meet the director of this police station? ”
Su Xiao'e told her what happened, Zhang Qinfen kept nodding her head, and then said solemnly to Su Xiao'e:
"That Xiao'e, this Director Qi has helped us so much, we have to entertain us well, thank you."
Zhang Qinfen said, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the malt milk essence and wine placed in the kitchen.
"This ......"
"Director Qi said that when you come for the first time, you must buy something, and if it's not good, you will come to the door empty-handed."
"How embarrassing is this to accept other people's things."
Su Xiao'e looked at Zhang Qinfen like this, and took advantage of Xu Xiaowan's efforts to serve the food out, and told Qi Tianming that Qi Tianming was interested in Xu Xiaowan.
Immediately, Zhang Qinfen's eyes widened in shock.
"Xiao'e, this Director Qi is so old, he can't live without a daughter-in-law, don't have a daughter-in-law at home at that time, and come to provoke us Xiaowan."
"Mom, don't worry, I asked, I'm not married, I just don't know what you mean?"
"Let's do this, it's still up to Xiaowan, if Xiaowan likes it, anything goes, if you don't like it, no matter how good the conditions are, it's not uncommon for us to be rare."
Su Xiao'e also meant this, and when she saw Zhang Qinfen say the same, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
"Mom, you really want to go with me."
The conversation and laughter between the two still attracted Xu Xiaowan, and I saw Xu Xiaowan walking in and looking at the two of them suspiciously.
"Mom, sister-in-law, what are you talking about, so mysterious?"
"Secret."
"Hmph, now they all have secrets behind my back, who is your daughter-in-law."
"You."
"Then why don't you tell me what this secret is?"
"It's a secret, and I'll tell you that my daughter can't do it."
Su Xiao'e looked at Xu Xiaowan's jealous appearance and couldn't help but tease her.
"Xiaowan, my daughter-in-law is now closer than you."
After Xu Xiaowan heard it, she smiled and patted Su Xiao'e on the shoulder.
Su Xiao'e dodged and continued to make fun of Xu Xiaowan:
"Xiaowan, if you are jealous, in this way, you should quickly find a mother-in-law to marry, and your mother-in-law will love you so much at that time."
"Sister-in-law, you're so bad, what do you say."
The laughter in the kitchen quickly attracted the attention of several men outside.
Qi Tianming asked curiously on the side:
"Brother Xu, has your family always been so happy? Is there no contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? ”
"Nope."
Qi Tianming was stunned and watched, and then thought of his own family, his sister-in-law and his own mother fighting all day long, and then thinking about the feeling of his own brother being caught in the middle, and became more and more envious of the atmosphere of the Xu family.
"Brother Xu, you are so happy."
Qi Tianming's emotion made Xu Jianshe stunned for a moment, and then nodded again, "um".
When the dishes were ready, because there were few people, they gathered around a table to eat.
During this period, Zhang Qinfen's unusual enthusiasm for Qi Tianming was like the attitude of her mother-in-law towards her son-in-law, which provoked Su Xiao'e to stay by her side frequently.
"Tianming, eat more, it's like being at your own home, you're welcome."
Zhang Qinfen said as she scooped a spoonful of chicken into Qi Tianming's bowl with a soup spoon.
Even Xu Jianshe noticed a hint of abnormality, and turned his head to look at Su Xiao'e.
Su Xiao'e didn't know what was going on, she was a little weak-hearted, although she felt that Qi Tianming's conditions were good, but what kind of person and family, she didn't know anything, isn't it a bit nosy to talk so much now?
The whole table of meals, except for Xu Jianshe and Su Xiao'e, everyone else ate very happily, and after finishing eating and cleaning up, Su Xiao'e went back to the room early.
And Xu Jianshe would have come back after Su Xiao'e returned to the room before, but today he stayed outside for a long time before coming back.
Su Xiao'e had already noticed that Xu Jianshe seemed to have some opinions about her, and she didn't want to make the relationship between the two suspicious of each other, so she said it directly.
"Today I told my mother that Qi Tianming likes Xiaowan."
"Hmm."
"Don't you think I shouldn't say it?"
"Xiaowan is still young, and she will be admitted to university in the future, so her eyes should not be limited to this small city."
Xu Jianshe drank wine today and said a few more words, but halfway through, Su Xiao'e understood what Xu Jianshe meant.
He felt that after Xiaowan went to college in the future, she would go out of here and live elsewhere, and she would find a better one when the time came, instead of limiting her life to this place.
"What if, I mean, what if, Xiao Wan likes Qi Tianming?"
"No, it won't."
"How can you be so sure?"
"They won't get a chance to meet in the future."
After Xu Jianshe said this, he fell asleep, leaving Su Xiao'e alone on the bed and thinking nonsense.
After a whole night, Su Xiao'e stared at the two dark circles under her eyes, and Xu Jianshe seemed to have drunk last night and slept well.
Seeing Su Xiao'e like this, he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
Coming out, today Zhang Qinfen and Xu Shaohua went to the village to hand over the public grain, and Xu Jianshe wanted to hand over factory clothes with Su Xiao'e and the county town.
Seeing Su Xiao'e's appearance, Xu Jianshe finally said with some reluctance:
"I'll go by myself today, and you'll be fine at home."
"I'd better be together."
"Rest at home and don't talk nonsense."
Xu Jianshe said, put the last big bag of factory clothes on the cart, and pushed it towards the county seat.
