Chapter 415: House Ruiner in the 1970s (46)
Xu Yuanyuan and Xu Lan were sitting at the same table. They looked at their cousins and cousins-in-law who were serving tea to the elders. They said with some discomfort in their hearts: "Why haven't the dishes been served yet? When are you supposed to wait until? ?”
She got married last month. Before the ceremony was over, her relatives and friends started snatching the meat and vegetables. The scene was really terrible.
They say a good beginning is half the battle. She probably didn't have a good head start, which led to her having a quarrel with her mother-in-law during the wedding period.
Today, there is a wedding held at the third uncle's house, and her man can't even come to the wedding. It must be her mother-in-law who is instigating it behind her back.
She was so angry that she immediately slammed the door and went back to her parents' house.
If you don’t come, you won’t come! When she is surprised!
My mood was so bad that everything I looked at was dazzling and I couldn't help but want to find fault.
Xu Lan glanced at her: "Sister Yuanyuan, you are late. In fact, we have already had a meal. The big pumpkin my second sister grew, fried pumpkin cakes, and fermented rice dumpling soup. We are not hungry yet. The second brother-in-law said that the food would be served later so that everyone would not be able to eat, so it was time to finish the gifts first."
Xu Yuanyuan: “…”
on purpose!
He must have done it on purpose!
“Pumpkin cake? Rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice? They’re both easy to fill up. Can you still eat them later?”
"You can eat it if you can!" Li Chunhua from the next table added, "The third family has prepared a lot of good dishes, many of which are fresh dishes that we have never tasted before. How can we not eat it? If we can't eat it, we can't take it away. Are you leaving? We all brought bowls, so we’re not afraid of wasting it!”
…”
After the newlyweds served tea, each table began to serve dishes.
Xu Yuanyuan stared at the table, wanting to see what kind of fresh dish it was, and it was actually more attractive than her six-course meat dish!
"What's this?"
She pointed to a hot dish that came after the soup.
The cook's answer: "This is called a fish and shrimp feast."
Xu Yuanyuan: Well said! Isn’t it just stewed tofu with fish and shrimps?
“What is this?”
“This is a good match for a hundred years.”
…”
Bah! Isn’t it just red bean paste and lily soup?
Following the head soup and sweet soup, two dishes were served to the elders: fried soybeans and fried peanuts.
Followed by six serious hot dishes.
Obviously it is an ingredient that everyone knows, but it is made into a delicacy that makes them hold their chopsticks but reluctant to put them down.
Eggplant puffs filled with minced meat, lotus roots stuffed with fine meat, bacon, pork ribs and winter melon cups that are super delicious, soft, glutinous and crispy pig's trotters with soy sauce that you can't wait to **** with your fingers, and you can smell the aroma of meat but not the fish aroma of the meat itself. Eggplant stew.
Finally, there’s the grand finale—braised lion’s head.
Each piece is as big as an adult's fist, and each person eats one piece. Everyone's mouths are full of oil and satisfaction.
“Comfortable! So comfortable!”
“This wedding meal is definitely the best meal I’ve ever had!”
Xu Yuanyuan wanted to pick out some and pierce them, but these dishes were **** suitable to her taste.
“As long as you are satisfied, that’s good! If you’re satisfied, that’s good! We didn’t hire a cook, so where would our family get the money to hire a cook? It’s all done by Sang Sang.”
"What? Your eldest daughter made it? When did she become so good at cooking? I think she can compete with the chefs in state-owned restaurants."
"Hey! It was Yinyin who taught me. The second girl is very clever. She came up with these dishes and then taught the eldest girl."
“Third brother, I have to admit it today: you are so lucky!”
Xu Laosan was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, yes! I am indeed very lucky!"
Even he felt like a pie from the sky. He was so successful in his young life!
Mr. Xu and his wife ate the food in silence. Although it tasted very good, there was a hint of bitterness in their mouths.
Li Chunxiang, who was at the same table, looked puzzled and bumped Xu Laoer with his elbow: "What's going on with the eldest brother and sister-in-law? They came to drink my niece's wedding wine with a straight face. What about their son-in-law? Why didn't he come? After all, he is also his third uncle. Such an important day didn’t come..."
"Shh!" Xu Laoer motioned her to lower her voice, "I heard Jianjun complaining a few times earlier. It seemed that it was about his official work quota. Yuanyuan had a quarrel with her mother-in-law, and the quarrel became fierce. Xiao It’s hard for Guo to be a good person when he’s in the middle, so he simply didn’t come.”
Li Chunxiang clicked her tongue and laughed at her grandma in her heart:
I thought that by marrying my daughter to the son of the factory director, I would be on a high road and be able to arrange a formal job for my son. But I didn’t expect that the factory director’s wife didn’t want to see your family at all, right?
The eldest niece is also stupid. She dares to quarrel with her mother-in-law just one month after the wedding. Not to mention that she is trying to get jobs for her brothers, even if it is for herself, she shouldn't start a fight just one month after the marriage! Does it still have a good reputation if word spreads about it?
In the past, I thought everyone would be honest and good at saving money, but now I see they are just a bunch of idiots! To be a good person, you still have to look at the third child!
Li Chunxiang ate with gusto while complaining about the boss.
Xu Yin only heard from her younger sister after the guests had left: Xu Yuanyuan had a quarrel with her mother-in-law a few days ago and has been staying at her parents' house for the past few days.
"The eldest cousin also said that she won't go back unless her cousin's husband comes to pick her up!" Xu Lan gnawed on the lotus root specially hidden to the end and said her own conjecture, "But if my cousin's husband never comes to pick her up, my cousin will not go back!" Don’t you have to live in your parents’ house forever? Isn’t that bad? After you get married, shouldn’t you have to live in your husband’s family? Why should you go back to your parents’ house? Thank you to your parents’ house!”
Xu Yin: “…”
Angrily and funny, he raised his hand and gave the younger sister a slap in the hand.
“Second sister, why did you hit me?”
“Eat your food! Stop talking!”
…”
This second sister is becoming more and more domineering and fierce, and she won’t let anyone say anything! Only the second brother-in-law could stand her.
In the days after marriage, there seems to be changes, but also there seems to be no change.
Anyway, Xu Yin still urges her parents to earn work points every day, and the task cannot stop!
Xu Chengjin has recently taken on several translation jobs at the same time, including English, Russian, and minor languages... He is taking a multi-pronged approach in order to earn a few more royalties before the end of the year and live a good year.
The family was busy living an ordinary and warm life. Suddenly, Xu Yin heard from Mrs. Xu that Xu Yuanyuan was divorced. Xu Yin was so surprised that her jaw dropped.
“What? Divorced?”
It hasn’t arrived in half a year!
It’s still less than half a month before the Chinese New Year!
“Well, I heard that my biological mother is intolerant of others, and Yuanyuan is very uncomfortable in her husband’s family.”
The old lady kept talking about her eldest granddaughter’s bad marriage:
"Last month, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had another quarrel. Yuanyuan got angry and pushed her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law couldn't stand still and hit her forehead on the corner of the table, which caused the skin to bleed. Her father-in-law saw it and slapped Yuanyuan. , Yuanyuan accidentally sat on the ground when she backed away, and she had a miscarriage... Do you think Yuanyuan's child was confused? She didn't even know that she was two months pregnant, and the child disappeared as soon as she arrived! After such a quarrel, both parties I feel bad, your uncle made the decision and asked the in-laws to arrange a formal job position for Jianjun, and then let the two children separate, and let the matter be over."
