Chapter 979 The truth of the year (1)
At the end of February, Bai Churong brought the proposed menu over to show Tan Yue and Tian Shao. Bai Churong has changed this menu several times, and it's neither ostentatious nor embarrassing.
Tian Shao took a look. There were eight dishes and one soup on the menu, which were steamed fish, mandarin duck chicken, roast duck, pig's trotters in sauce, and boiled shrimp. The remaining three were vegetables, and the other was pork belly soup with ginkgo fruit.
Bai Churong explained: "Xiao Shao, these dishes are not as rich as yours. It's just that Sijiu City pays attention to simplicity in weddings. These eight dishes and one soup are already very rich."
Tian Shao has no problem with the menu, but she has an idea, which is to add a pastry and a fruit platter to the table.
The plates at the wedding banquet in Sijiu City, no matter what, can't be less than those in the countryside! Otherwise, it won't sound good to say it.
Naturally, Bai Churong would not refuse, but the fruit platter is easy to make, but the pastry is not easy to make: "I have already hired a chef, but I need to hire an additional pastry chef to make pastry. Time is such a rush, it is difficult to invite good pastry master."
Tian Shao smiled and said, "We have a ready-made pastry chef here, so we don't need to hire any more."
She had already told Aunt Zhang that she would be invited over to make some pastries for the wedding banquet. Of course, at that time, I didn't think about putting it on the dining table, but entertaining guests. Serving it as a snack now requires more preparation. Fortunately, the home is big enough, so you can do whatever you want.
After the menu was finalized, Bai Churong took out another list and said that the people who were going to the wedding banquet were: "These are our relatives and old friends, please memorize their information first, and I will give it to you on the day of the wedding banquet." Make an introduction."
That day was to introduce Tan Yue to everyone on the old man's birthday. No one expected Tan Yue to be so stubborn, hiding outside in order not to attend the old man's birthday. As a result, although relatives and old friends knew about Tan Yue, they had never seen him and didn't know what he looked like.
Seeing that Tan Yue didn't move, Tian Shao reached out to take the list and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Tan Yue and I will know these by heart."
The old friends who can communicate with the Tan family must have a high status. It is beneficial and harmless for Tan Yue to have a good relationship with these people. As for herself, she probably wouldn't need them.
Bai Churong looked at Tan Yue, and after deliberating for a while, he said, "My third son, the old man is going to attend your wedding banquet too."
This was already expected by Tan Yue, he said: "He will come if he wants to, but don't come if he has nothing to do with it."
It is self-evident who this irrelevant person refers to. Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of well ropes, Wang Hongfen cast a great shadow on him, and now he doesn't even want to see Qu Yan.
Bai Churong saw his attitude, and said tentatively: "Third brother, the old man is stubborn. If you don't invite him personally, he won't come."
Tan Yue immediately said after hearing this: "It's better this way, so that I won't say anything unpleasant, and he can't stand it and be sent to the hospital. Sister-in-law, if you ask, just say that he is not in good health and can't come."
Bai Churong looked at Tian Shao as if asking for help and wanted her to persuade her, but unfortunately she was disappointed, Tian Shao didn't speak.
She sighed and said, "Third brother, Xiao Shao, I will have people prepare all the ingredients on the menu. As for the fruits and pastries, you have to prepare them yourself."
Tian Shao responded with a smile. Now it is different from the past. The supply and marketing cooperatives are selling grain, oil and other items, but they are also available outside. It's just that the price is higher to buy outside.
The main thing that came here this time was not done, so Bai Churong wanted to go back and tell her husband: "Tan Yue, Xiao Shao, I still have things to do, so I'll go back first."
Outside, Bai Churong held Tian Shao's hand and whispered, "Xiao Shao, the old man has a stubborn temper. If Xiao Yue doesn't invite him himself, he really won't come to the wedding banquet."
Tian Shao really doesn't care about this: "Sister-in-law, the old man is in poor health and doesn't like to make noise, so this wedding banquet is not called a wedding banquet if it's not noisy. So I think it's better if the old man doesn't come. Otherwise, he will feel uncomfortable halfway, At that time, the wedding banquet will have to cast a shadow."
None of these make sense, and Bai Churong can't help it either.
When Tan Xingguo came back from get off work, Bai Churong told him about the attitudes of the two of them: "Xingguo, go and persuade the old man, what happened back then was his fault, so just apologize!"
She could tell that if the old man didn't apologize, it would be difficult for Tan Yue. If you want this family to be harmonious, the old man must bow his head.
Tan Xingguo shook his head and said: "It's been so many years, how can you not know the old man's temperament? It's impossible to make him bow his head, and put a wooden barn against his head."
Bai Churong said a little irritably: "What happened back then was a thorn in Lao San's heart, and he won't be able to pull out the thorn unless he apologizes. Xingguo, just tell him that blood is thicker than learning, as long as he bows his head and apologizes, Lao San will forgive him." His. In the future, our family can also be twisted into one rope."
Tan Xingguo was silent for a while, and said, "Let me try it!"
Once Mr. Tan heard that Tan Yue didn't want him to attend the wedding banquet, he was so angry that he slammed his cane on the ground: "I'm his father, and if he doesn't ask me to marry a wife, he won't be afraid of shame and I'll be ashamed!"
Tan Xingguo pretended to be very helpless and said: "Dad, you should have a good talk with the third child. The third child is cold-faced but the most emotional. As long as you tell him your original concerns, I believe he will understand."
Old Master Tan snorted coldly and said, "I have nothing to talk to him about."
Tan Xingguo knew his temper, so he couldn't force himself: "Dad, the third child is your own son. If you have any difficulties at the beginning, explain to him well. If you don't have any difficulties, you can apologize to him. Dad, you also hope that we The three brothers have one heart, and they will be able to support each other in the future. But if you don't untie his knot, he will never be able to talk to me and my second child."
Old Master Tan looked at him and asked, "You also think I did something wrong?"
Tan Xingguo was silent for a while before he said: "Dad, I know you must have something to hide. But I think that if you really have something to hide, you can secretly reveal his identity and tell him the reason why you don't know each other temporarily. In this way, the third child will also I won't be so angry with you."
Combined with the situation at the time, he actually guessed the reason why the old man didn't recognize Tan Yue. The situation at that time, I don't think it was right, after all, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. The old man's starting point is good, but the method is wrong.
Grandpa Tan said: "Can you know that there is a reason why I don't recognize him, and he can't think of it?"
Tan Xingguo said: "Dad, in the eyes of the third son, you don't recognize him because you don't care about your son when you have more."
"What about Tian Shao? She's so shrewd, it's impossible not to miss it."
Tan Xingguo smiled wryly: "She knows what the third child has experienced in these years, and her heart aches so badly. It's good that she didn't fight the fire and just kept silent."
Both of them are so smart, how could they fail to guess, but Tan Yue has resentment, so Tian Shao wants the old man to bow his head.
It's the end of the month again, time flies so fast.
