Chapter 119: The Prodigal Son Turns Back
Zhou Qi looked at Ashi twisting the chopsticks on the plate and wanted to turn them over, but he didn't turn them, and smiled in his heart.
"Mom, take out the soup, Ah Shi is not used to eating these."
Ah Shi glanced at Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi whispered, "These are pediatrics, and I won't make a big move until later." Teochew daughter-in-law. Are you ready? ”
Ah Shi was embarrassed and said, "I can eat them raw, why, when I see them, I am a little scared?" ”
Zhou Qi laughed and said, "Just like fish dare to eat it, you are not afraid of chili peppers, why don't you eat boiled fish?" In the same way, taste a bite, just a bite, well, while my mother is away, hurry up and try it. ”
Ah Shi was finally willing to eat the oysters that were brought to her mouth, but her eyes widened, and Zhou Qi didn't understand what she meant.
"Come, add some pickled radish, so that the taste will be lighter, or you can add some mustard."
Ah Shi swallowed with a complicated expression, and said, "Zhou Qi, I swallowed it in order to become your wife, otherwise it would be impossible for me to coax Lu Aishi." ”
"Here, add some mustard, and I'll try another one." Ah Shi suddenly became a different person.
smeared a little mustard, mixed her with pickles and pickled radish, and served it to her, Ashi did not hesitate to dry it.
That's right, it's the kind of liquor that dries with your eyes closed.
Ah Shi suddenly said secretly, faintly, "It seems that I really have to marry you." Such an unpalatable thing, I can actually eat the word delicious, I was born to be your person. You're welcome, if there's anything bizarre and weird, let's check it out. ”
Zhou Qi said, "Taste it well, just like when I came to Guangzhou at the beginning of the year." ”
The phone rang, Ah Minzai's.
"Minzai, your sister and I are eating raw pickles at home, come and taste it?"
"Okay, I'll be there soon. Be more prepared. ”
Zhou Qi told his mother that he would wait for the people to come over to eat and prepare more.
My mother said that it would take a little time to pickle raw. Then marinate it quickly.
Ah Shi was stubbornly eating one in ten minutes, slowly digesting the raw pickled shrimp and pickled crab in front of her at a rate of ten minutes, when the doorbell rang, as if hearing a life-saving bell, rushed over to open the door.
"Teacher Chen? Hello, come in. Zhou Qi saw that the rookie of Teochew opera Mr. Chen was at the door, and Ah Shi had been jealous of her beauty, and pinched Zhou Qi all night, but today she went directly to the door, and when Ah Shi was about to break out, something unexpected happened, and Minzai appeared.
Min Tsai took Teacher Chen's hand and said, "This is my most shining sister, Ah Shi." He's my brother-in-law, you know. ”
Ah Shi was stunned, Minzai was a little caught off guard at this moment, so she hurriedly invited in and sat down.
Zhou Qi said, "Why are you still sitting in the living room, come here to eat." ”
Minzai shouted, "Here, brother-in-law." ”
Min Tsai directly occupied Ah Shi's position, and the position next to him was given to Mr. Chen.
Ah Shi was stunned for a long time before she came over and sat next to Zhou Qi.
"Sister, this is my girlfriend, Chen Wanxia." Minzai generously introduced.
"Sister Shi, hello." Teacher Chen stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ashi. Ah Shi is still in a dream.
"Minzai, your hands and feet are fast enough, it's only been a few days?" Zhou Qi whispered to Minzai.
"Admittedly, my love affair with Ah Xia went a little too fast." Min Tsai said generously, ignoring Mr. Chen's shyness to cover his face, "However, love is such a strange thing, the first time I saw her, I felt that my life belonged to her." ”
Ash finally came to her senses and said, "Great. But why don't you go to my house for dinner and not go back to your own house? ”
"No, I'm close to my brother-in-law, and I want to talk to my brother-in-law more. You're my sister, you have to help me. "Minzai said it clearly enough.
This is a bit shocking, Mr. Chen is older than Zhou Qi, at least seven or eight years older than Minzai. I don't know if Sister Peng Shufang can accept it.
"Sister Shi, come. Eat more, this is our famous raw pickle in Chaozhou. "Mr. Chen is very positive and not afraid of life.
It seems that Minzai has taken it.
When Ah Shi saw the raw pickles, she suddenly felt that it was really delicious, and ate a few more.
Ah Shi motioned for Zhou Qi to go out.
Zhou Qi said, "Minzai, you eat, my parents can speak Teochew, you talk." ”
Ashie pulled Zhou Qi to the stairwell and asked, "What's the matter with this Teacher Chen?" ”
"What's going on?"
"Why did Min Tsai suddenly fall in love with a woman who was bigger than me and you? Did you bewitch him? ”
"Teacher Chen, it is true that I invited you back, but I don't know about Minzai, I have only been back for a few days? Teacher Chen has only been here for less than a month. ”
"Then it's strange, why did he suddenly like her?"
"What do you mean? Min Tsai just said that he fell in love at first sight. You are an older sister, can you understand your younger brother? He came here to find a helper, proving that he was serious. Do you understand? Zhou Qi took her arms around and said, "He is willing, and she is willing." That's it, Mr. Chen is a little older, seems to be two years older than me. is still a young woman, besides, is Teacher Chen not worthy of Minzai? Minzai can marry her, which is really high. ”
"Indeed, if she is really willing to marry Minzai, it is indeed our family."
"So, the only question is whether Sister Peng Shufang can accept her."
"I'll call my mom and ask her to come over."
Sister Fang arrived at the battlefield in ten minutes, and Ah Shi introduced her mother, "This Ah Xia is Minzai's girlfriend, he originally wanted to take it home to show you, he was afraid of ugliness and shyness, so he came here." ”
Sister Fang saw Teacher Chen, like seeing a treasure, indeed, Teacher Chen's appearance absolutely overwhelming the general aesthetics, Sister Fang was shocked, how could she believe that her son, who was a child, could find such a girlfriend.
"Ah Xia, what a beautiful girl, I like it. Let me see. Sister Fang probably knew in her heart, asked a lot of questions, and finally asked her age, thirty-three years old, indeed older, she pondered for a while, and said, "It's okay, it's okay if you want." I'm good to open it, but it's better to have a baby quickly, I've been waiting for my grandson for a long time. ”
One sentence made Teacher Chen bow his head shyly.
"Ah Shi can't be trusted." Sister Fang's words burned to Ah Shi again, which made her powerless to refute.
"Come to the house for dinner at night, I'll make what you like to eat, what do you like to eat, tell your mother." Sister Fang changed her mouth directly, if she changed to another province, it would save a lot of money in the change of mouth fee.
"Mother-in-law, is this your raw pickled in Chaozhou?" Sister Fang came, started chatting with Zhou Qi's mother, and took Teacher Chen's hand.
Min Tsai saw hope, this is the mother in his mind.
"Brother Qi, how much do you say the bride price costs over there?"
"It depends on the family, generally twenty or thirty thousand is more, and it is mainly determined by the woman's family conditions."
"Is it that the woman's condition is poorer?"
"Not necessarily. Let's talk about it beforehand. The normal rule on our side is that no matter how much the bride price is, the dowry is multiplied by two. ”
"If I give a million bride price, the dowry will be two million? Is it like this? ”
"Almost, not necessarily, but generally don't ask for a lot of bride price, it's just a few people."
"It's okay, I'll just find out about the market. Since there is such a custom, I can't give too much. ”
"Not necessarily, you just need to communicate well with Teacher Chen, there are no certain rules, you can be flexible, for example, your family conditions are good, you can give more, even if you help her family improve the conditions. What's this? ”
"Really? Okay, I'll have a good talk with her. ”
"Minzai, are you serious?"
"Seriously, absolutely seriously."
"If you're not serious enough, I don't think you should harass Teochew girls. Of course you are serious, and she is willing, and everyone is happy. I hope you're kind to her. Our Chaozhou girls are all very virtuous, the kind that can run the family, the kind that takes care of the family, and the kind that is more willing to marry and teach children. ”
"Yes, that's why I'm serious."
"Okay. You accompany her, don't play. If you dare to just play, I'll beat you up. ”
"Brother-in-law, I know, my wife hurts herself."
Ah Shi came over and said, "It's over, I don't have any place in my house, let her snatch it up." ”
"It's not so exaggerated. Isn't it nice that your mother likes your brother and daughter-in-law? ”
"Ugh."
