After rebirth, I was bound to the academic system

Chapter 82 A Dinner at Grandma's House

"Luckily, grandpa and grandma hadn't eaten dinner yet, and we happened to have some vegetables. At the invitation of grandma and her family, we carried the fruits, vegetables and meat from the car into the house. The house was crowded with people watching us. Everyone wanted to know what we bought for grandma and her family."

"Looking at the increasing number of people, I thought about it and had to go back to the car and take out the drinks, peanuts, melon seeds and other things I had stockpiled from the space."

"Yesterday at our house, all the friends and relatives who were shocked went home. There weren't as many people as there are now. It's also because our family is not very particular. If we buy such a luxury car like some people say, we have to hold a banquet. There is no way. Some customs here are like this. There is a banquet for the birth of a child, a banquet for the full moon, a banquet for a boy with long hair and a shaving, a banquet for moving, a banquet for moving to the second floor, a banquet for moving to the third floor, a banquet for weddings, a banquet for promotion, a banquet for funerals... and so on."

"Anyway, in my memory, before I was reborn, our family spent a lot of money every year just on the people we went out to. As long as you were a little bit related, they would call or ask someone to invite you. But our family is different. Before, my sister married and had a baby far away and didn't hold a banquet. Other families pretended not to know. Even if something happened in our family, we didn't think about holding a banquet. We just had a meal at home."

"Sometimes I think it's really a big loss."

"The most profound impression was when my grandmother passed away. My uncle and his family called the family, but many of them had moved to the city, or after several banquets. Some of them were more conscientious and would directly transfer the money via WeChat, while others would just pretend they didn't know and couldn't get in touch. But if his family was going to hold a banquet, they would definitely not forget you. They are so shameless."

"Take these melon seeds and fruits and give them to my uncle and aunt standing at the door."

"Fortunately, we thought about it before we came here, so we brought a lot of cooked food and the like. We just need to stir-fry some other vegetables and the like."

"You all sit down and chat with my parents for a while. We will cook in a moment." My aunt and the others said as they hurried to prepare dinner.

"Sister-in-law, let me help you." Mom said and started to work.

"The eldest and youngest aunts waved their hands and said, 'No need, it's rare for you to come back, how can we ask you to cook for us?'"

"We are all family, what's so strange about this? We brought some seafood this time, can you cook it? If not, you can help me, and next time you will be the chef, I will definitely sit and rest, waiting to eat the ready-made food, the mother said jokingly."

"Okay! Although they don't want their married sister-in-law to come home and cook, they have never eaten the shrimp, fish, crabs and other things he brought, and they really don't know how to cook them. They are afraid that these precious ingredients will be wasted and they will lose face."

"In the living room, people were packed in three layers around the fireplace. The elderly sat on stools, each holding a cup of hot tea. The younger people and children stood because there were not enough stools. But because everyone was given some melon seeds, peanuts, and fruit candies, everyone was very happy. Who would care about so much?"

"In this era, these things are only available during the Chinese New Year. It's a pleasant surprise to be able to eat them now."

"Looking at my father being asked all sorts of questions, I really can't stand this atmosphere. These people are really..."

"Even though they were far away, I could still hear them asking dad: What business are you doing now? How much money can you make in a month? Can you take care of them too? Some asked to borrow money. Some asked where did you get all the money to buy such an expensive car and pay such expensive car loans every month? Why don't you save it for your children's education? And some asked to buy a house or renovate the house? ... There were all kinds of questions, just like the questions asked by relatives and friends at home yesterday."

"Luckily, Dad's American IQ is really high now. Although he answered all these questions yesterday, he gave them again today, and his answers are getting smarter and smarter. Not only did he take into account other people's tolerance, but he also praised them from the inside out. Listening to Dad's sincere and exaggerated words, I was really speechless. Dad is really amazing. He doesn't know them very well, but he can praise them to the sky. It seems that Dad's biggest gain during this period is that his emotional intelligence is higher than his IQ. No matter where he goes to do sales, he will definitely be the sales champion."

"I bent down and looked at my grandparents, who were all beaming with joy. They were obviously full of pride, but they still waved their hands modestly and said that it was also the efforts of the younger generation. Your sons and daughters are also very hardworking. Anyway, this time, my father drove us back in a car, and my grandparents were really proud. How many people were slapped in the face? Some people said that their daughters married into a family with average conditions. Now, not only have their daughters and sons-in-law's family conditions improved, but they can also afford such a large car worth hundreds of thousands. Even their granddaughters and grandsons have excellent grades, not to mention that the second granddaughter won the championship. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of bonuses, she also skipped a grade from the first grade to the third grade. I was wondering who else would be there?"

"Not to mention the area within a hundred miles, even in the entire Xinghai City, there are only a few in the whole country, right?"

"This is my granddaughter. I am so happy. I really see the genes of Wenquxing in the third generation. They themselves and their daughters and grandchildren are really not good at studying. It is really a surprise that we have a family like this. Just like my grandparents, I can't wait to burn more incense and paper money at the ancestral grave. I feel that we are blessed by our ancestors. There is also green smoke coming out of the ancestral grave. It is really the ancestors showing their spirits!"

"Strength lies in numbers. The meal was quickly prepared. Seeing that people had not left until mealtime, I was really a bit worried. Fortunately, my mother had considered this problem when she was cooking. This time, we cooked a lot of rice and dishes. We almost finished cooking all the vegetables and meat we brought. We originally wanted to leave them for them to eat, but plans cannot keep up with changes, so we had to cook them all. Otherwise, are you going to drive them away, fellow villagers?"

"As soon as all the dishes were placed on the table, all the men, women, young and old in the room stared at the table, their mouths watering, smelling the aroma of the food, and they were all thankful. Fortunately, they were thick-skinned, otherwise they would have missed out on this table of delicious food."

"After being cooked by my gourmet mom, the wontons are delicious and tasty. Moreover, they are made in this space, so there is nothing to say."

"Grandpa and grandma first asked these elderly grandpas and grandmas to sit at the dining table, and the drinks and other things we brought came in handy."

"Everyone was puzzled when they saw the grandpa burst into tears after tasting a bite of the delicious food. What happened? It was delicious, so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food in the past few decades. Seeing the grandpa's exaggerated expression and movements, everyone wanted to know how delicious the food was, so they also tried it. It was not until they put it in their mouths that everyone realized that the grandpa's expression just now was really not exaggerated. What kind of delicious food is this? Forgive me for being at a loss for words. At this moment, no one wanted to say anything. They only had one thought, just eat it. Maybe people can only eat such a delicious meal in their lifetime. If they are a step slower, they will miss a bite."

"Looking at the exaggerated expressions and movements of these grandpas and grandmas, the children and adults around them couldn't wait to taste how delicious it was, but because there were not enough bowls and chopsticks, they had no choice but to watch others show off with their heads held high. Some of the smarter ones ran directly home, holding their bowls and chopsticks, for fear that if they were too late, they wouldn't even have soup to drink. They will regret it for the rest of their lives. Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's almost the same, right?"

"Until the soup in each plate was soaked up by the rice, everyone was truly full and satisfied, with their stomachs and mouths filled with the taste of top-notch food. They will remember today's meal for the rest of their lives, no matter the ingredients or the taste of the food. No matter what happens in the future, it will be hard to compare to today's deliciousness."

"It was not until very late that the group reluctantly left."

"It was at this time that Dad told me which gifts he had bought before were for grandpa and grandma, and which were for my eldest uncle, my second uncle, my second aunt, and my cousins?"

"The fruits, melon seeds, candies, etc. that we brought in earlier are almost all gone."

"I took my dad's car keys and walked to the car. I made a cover and took out a lot of fruits, seafood and meat from my space. After all, my space is expanding as my cultivation level increases. It would be a waste to leave all the vegetables, fruits and meat in the space. I can't finish them anyway."

"Looking at me taking out a lot of things from the car, grandpa and grandma exclaimed: It's too much. The gifts I bought today and the vegetables, fruits, seafood and the like are not cheap, not to mention that I took so much now. Even if your family is rich, you have to save money! Grandma said with a distressed look: Although these things are for my family, I still feel bad. Isn't the gap too big? No matter how much wealth there is, it's not enough to squander? As the old saying goes, "If you can eat well and wear well, you won't plan to be poor all your life."

"Grandmothers love their daughters and hope that their daughters can have a happy family. If they are rich, that goes without saying. It means they are blessed. This is a lifetime! Especially for women, getting married is a second life. Rich or poor, having both sons and daughters, a happy family, and a loving couple, that is all one's destiny."

"Now seeing that our family is getting better and better, at least the old man feels relieved."

"While everyone was sorting out the gifts, while no one was paying attention, I quietly walked to grandpa's side, pulled his arm and walked to the side."
