Chapter 64 Dinner Table Etiquette

After being seated, a moment later, Wen Wan was holding a plate.She walked very steadily, her body swayed very slightly, but she walked very fast.

There is always a smile on her face, which is unique to her age, youthful and lively, but also elegant and innocent.

First of all, he nodded to the two old men sitting in the north, and then put the plate on the table, leaning towards the north.

This is one of the etiquettes, and Qin Yue's dead ghost father taught him before.

Although at home, when two people eat, they are always in a state of having hands quickly and slow hands.It's like grabbing food, but Qin Dazhao has to put the plate away, and he can only start when he is seated.

Of course, Qin Dazhao doesn't cook every day, and he also spends a lot of time going out to eat.

Occasionally, it would happen that the family in the community had a birthday, married a daughter, etc. If the neighbor married a daughter-in-law, it would be even more serious, eating for three days in a row.

At that time, there were not as many routines as there are now, and there was no need to follow suit when eating weddings.You come here to save face for the host family. Most people’s homes don’t prepare so many seats, bowls and chopsticks, and the host family will not buy them or borrow them from outside.

It means that the neighbors, who are familiar and have a good relationship, bring their own things, such as tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks.A red string was tied to the table and chairs, and the dishes and chopsticks were washed and washed again. A piece of red paper was pasted on the bottom of the bowl and brought to the host's house.

Just to add some joy, the host family accepted the things, which represented the blessings of the host family, and there will be red envelopes afterwards.

The chefs at the wedding banquet are generally thicker women or aunts who often do housework.They will also have a big red envelope, which is thick, and Qin Yue envied them very much when he was a child.

My father has always been a frequent visitor at wedding banquets, because of his name, after all, at that time, the transportation was not very convenient.When young people get married, they always attack the people around them.

In my hometown, the original world was relatively loud.If you marry a daughter, having him send her off together can also deter the bride's in-laws.The same is true for getting married. With my father accompanying me, my mother's family will not be too difficult.

Therefore, when Qin Yue was a child, he ate a lot at the wedding banquet.At the wedding banquet, the rules are also the most exquisite.

Before dinner, Qin Dazhao would always teach Qin Yue over and over again.How to hold the chopsticks. When putting the chopsticks, they can be placed on the table or on the bowl, but they must not be inserted into the bowl.

The direction is also particular. When placing the chopsticks, the end of the chopsticks should not be facing yourself, but the end of the chopsticks should be facing others.

Beyond that, there are many, many more.

For example, when picking up vegetables, you can only pick up the ones in your own direction. If you pick up something, even if you don't like it, you must never put it back.

You can't turn the plate either. Later, I heard that people directly invented the table that can turn.Qin Yue really thought that they invented it for this reason.

Dad, Qin Yue doesn't always obey what he says.Every time he crossed the boundary, Qin Dazhao would always slap the back of Qin Yue's hand, which was quite painful.

But Qin Yue always remembers to eat but not to fight, and commits the crime again and again, and the neighbor relationship at that time was also very good.The adults always laughed it off, but on the other hand they said Qin Dazhao, that Qin Yue was just a child, and he would naturally understand when he grew up.

Later, Qin Yue grew up, on the day Qin Dazhao died.

Overnight, I grew up.

Sure enough, Qin Yue understood all those things.

Because I recalled his words over and over again, and obeyed them again and again.

The banquet at Qin Dazhao's funeral was the most well-behaved banquet Qin Yue ate. From the beginning to the end, no one could pick out the slightest fault.

After that, Qin Yue replaced his father and guarded the Binhe community.The number of wedding banquets gradually decreased. In the end, even if someone invited Qin Yue to go, Qin Yue would not attend.

The world has changed, and so have people's hearts.

How many times did the two parties break up unhappy because of the gift money?How many times, the groom knelt at the door, cried and cried, and finally left helplessly.

How many times have the wedding banquet been changed to a luxurious hotel, and Qin Yue has just returned from picking up his relatives.When we sat down to eat, countless people started looting when the first dish was served, and some even brought bags to pack it.

The children kept scratching the plate, leaving leftovers all over the table.

And chatting at the funeral banquet, laughing and rolling forward and backward.At that time, Qin Yue was grateful for them in his heart. Fortunately, they were not there on the day of Qin Dazhao's funeral.

Otherwise, Qin Yue will let them know what the law on the protection of minors is.

Since then, Qin Yue has never attended any banquets again.He also doesn't have any relatives, and over time, no one will come to invite him.

Qin Yue also thought about where the problem lies.

I also came to a conclusion: After the demolition of my hometown, many people left, and there were many people in different places.The new ones are just trying to get a cheap price, and they will leave after living for a period of time. Naturally, they will not manage the relationship with the neighbors.

Time passed, and I sat at such a table again, surrounded by people.

Wen Wan set the plates and chopsticks from north to east to south, bowed slightly, and left again.

Patted Qin Chifan who couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks, and taught: "Why are you so anxious, wait until the two old people move first."

The situation was the same as when Qin Dazhao was educating Qin Yue.

Qin Chifan looked at the steaming food on the table, and said unwillingly: "But, I am older than all of them combined, why didn't I move first."

Qin Yue was rendered speechless by what she said. This child is talking nonsense.

The old man laughed, very happily.Picking up the chopsticks, he picked up a piece of dry fried beef and put it in his mouth to chew.

Qin Chifan opened his big watery eyes, held his chopsticks, and looked at Qin Yue ready to go.

I have a lot of words in my heart, and I want to give them to Qin Chifan one by one, but Qin Yue can't find what to say.The more important reason is that Qin Chifan may not be able to bear it for so long, if that is the case, Qin Yue estimated that when she comes to the third point, she will have to bite someone.

I could only nod helplessly, "Eat, slow down."

Qin Chifan nodded vigorously, and stood on the stool abruptly.The table is relatively large, and the plates are all placed a little to the north. Her short arms are indeed a bit difficult.

Qin Yue smiled awkwardly, but the old man didn't mind at all, and pushed the plate a little in front of Qin Chifan.It was convenient for her to pick up a little bit, Qin Chifan was not polite at all, as soon as the chopsticks went down, a quarter of a plate was missing.

The old man pressed the chopsticks on the table and raised his hand, "You are welcome, please."

After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and reached for the plate.

Although it seems cumbersome, the old man can use his left hand completely.But this can be said to be the greatest kind of respect for guests.

Qin Yue tugged at Qin Chifan's clothes, hoping that she would restrain herself a bit.It's not that Qin Chifan really didn't realize it, or pretended not to know, and continued to sweep.

And Qin Yue's small actions were also seen by the old man, he looked at Qin Chifan's appearance, not only was he not angry.Instead, he showed kind eyes and said, "The little girl is so cute,"

At this time, Wen Ting walked in slowly, saluted several old people, and sat next to Qu Weiye.

The old man looked at Wen Ting, smiled and asked, "Look at the girl, do you think of Wen Ting's childhood?"

Old Wen shook his head and retorted: "Wen Ting was such a quiet child when she was young. I think she looks more like Wen Wan. You spoiled me when I was young, but it took me a lot of work to correct it."

The two old men argued and smiled at each other.

Wen Ting looked at Qin Chifan, and also covered her mouth and smiled, as if she remembered something interesting.

Wang Dagen and his wife had been sitting blankly, holding chopsticks and not knowing what to do.I'm afraid that they don't understand etiquette and make the Qu family unhappy.

Seeing Qin Chifan like this now, he also acted courageously, picked up a shredded carrot from a dish of fish-flavored shredded pork, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Qin Yue stood up, picked up a large chopstick of food, and put it into the small bowl in front of Wang Dagen.Trembling, Wang Dagen took the bowl with both hands.

Thank you again and again to Qin Yue.

Instead, Qin Yue frowned. At his age, it was worth it for Qin Yue to do so.He thanked him, but made Qin Yue very uncomfortable.The old man nodded to Qin Yue in praise and said: "Everyone has their own way of life, why bother to embarrass others, and why embarrass yourself!"

Qin Yue continued to hold Zhang Cuihua's chopsticks, and thanked the old man: "Thank you for the teaching, old man."

Just sit down.

The old man looked at the two old people, and said in a very gentle voice: "You two don't need to be too cautious, you are a guest. This is a family banquet, you can just treat it as if it is your own home."

The two elders nodded repeatedly, and under the watchful eyes of the old man, they picked up a few pieces of meat and put them in their mouths.After hesitating for a moment, he spoke in admiration, and then the old man turned his head in satisfaction.The two elders also breathed a sigh of relief, picked up their own small bowls, and put the dishes that Qin Yue picked up for them into their mouths.At the same time, he looked at Qin Yue gratefully.

After a while, before Qin Yue took a bite, the food was ruined by Qin Chifan.

Everyone had no choice but to put down their chopsticks. Wen Ting took out a tissue and handed it to Qin Yue.Looking at her eyes, Qin Yue felt that it was because she was some distance away from Qin Chifan, and it was inconvenient for him to get started.

He took the tissue, held Qin Chifan's head down, and wiped off the oil stains from the corners of her mouth.Turning her little face away, the two thanked Wen Ting together.

When Wen Wan came back, she was accompanied by a woman in her early fifties.

Her figure, as far as a woman is concerned, is a bit burly, and she walks vigorously.It formed a stark contrast with Wen Wan on one side.

Seeing the empty plate on the table, she seemed a little happy, put down the plate in her hand, and put away the empty plate.Only then did Wen Wan come forward and put down the plate in his hand.

After finishing all this, the woman said: "Old man, why did you have dinner so early today and didn't tell me?"

The old man had a serious face, but the WeChat at the corner of his mouth betrayed him.

"Didn't you see the guests? You don't have any insight at all. You deserve to be so old and you can't get married."

The woman retorted: "This guest just came? Xiaowan has already told me that this person has been here for a long time, and he doesn't know how to call me."
