Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens
Chapter 211 The Big Sister is Coming
Mr. Li had met Xiao Yi a long time ago, and today was their first formal visit since they confirmed their relationship.
He put his hands behind his back and looked at Xiao Yi with the scrutiny of a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law. Ji Qinglan could read the disdain in his eyes and was secretly surprised that when she and Xiao Yi had not confirmed their relationship before, Master Li was quite satisfied.
Why is he so disgusted now? He didn't even look at the gifts he brought, and didn't even let Xiao Yi sit down.
How unwelcome is this?
Sure enough, it was not Ji Qinglan's illusion. Old Master Li warned Xiao Yi: "If you marry Ji girl, you must be responsible for her and her son for the rest of your life, otherwise I will not forgive you."
Xiao Yi repeatedly assured that he was sincere to her and her son and that he wanted to be with Ji Qinglan for the rest of his life.
Mr. Li was reluctantly satisfied and waved his hand for Xiao Yi to sit down. The father-in-law checked and controlled his son-in-law with great style.
After sitting down, Mr. Li asked which day would be chosen for the engagement.
"June 12th." Xiao Yi replied, which is the day after tomorrow.
Ji Qinglan didn't want to make a big deal about it. They had already decided on the date in the hospital and planned to invite a few familiar faces to keep it simple.
Xiao Yi naturally would not object to Ji Qinglan's idea.
Mr. Li nodded and said no more.
Mr. Li: "Stretch out your hand, I'll show you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi obediently stretched out his hand. Mr. Li felt his pulse for a while, then stripped off his clothes and looked at Xiao Yi's wound.
Seeing the wound, Mr. Li couldn't help but sigh: "You are so lucky. If you were a little bit more off, even the immortals of Daluo Society couldn't save you."
"Well, I'm recovering well. It won't affect the engagement party."
Ji Qinglan asked hurriedly: "Should we prescribe some medicine for him?"
Old Master Li shook his head: "You don't need to take medicine. Medicine is poisonous. Drinking too much will not help. Just take the medicine prescribed by the hospital normally. This injury needs to be treated slowly. Diet is the most important thing. Be careful not to make big movements, don't drink alcohol, and get more rest."
Mr. Li gave some instructions and started to drive people away.
He has always been like this, giving all his gentleness to Ji Xincheng. He also rudely drove away the person who came from Yanjing to pick him up last time.
Xiao Yi put Ji Xincheng on his shoulders and carried him down the mountain. Ji Qinglan went to Zhang's house, and Xiao Yi took the child home first.
Liu Yumei is working at the village committee now, so Niu Guixiang is at home taking care of the two children.
When they heard that Ji Qinglan asked them to be the chef for the engagement banquet of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law the day after tomorrow, they naturally agreed.
Niu Guixiang held Ji Qinglan's hand and congratulated him repeatedly: "I knew you were blessed. Congratulations! Yumei and I will go there early the day after tomorrow. Don't worry, I promise to prepare a grand feast for you."
In Niu Guixiang's opinion, Ji Qinglan used to be so stupid and naive that she must have been bewitched by Liang Qian. However, after she divorced Liang Qian, her mind suddenly became clear, and her life became better and better. Now she has married a good young man like Xiao Yi.
Ji Qinglan thanked him and said that he would like to ask two more people for help. Niu Guixiang took the initiative to agree. She was familiar with the women in the village and knew which ones were good at cooking.
"Thank you for your help, Auntie. I also need to buy fifty eggs. I wonder if anyone has them in stock. I also want to ask Brother Jianguo to help me catch some fish tomorrow. I also need tables, chairs and benches."
Preparing a banquet in the countryside is not an easy task. There are not enough tables, chairs and benches at home, and even bowls and chopsticks have to be borrowed from other people's homes.
Niu Guixiang knew all the intricacies of arranging a banquet and nodded in agreement, saying that she would let Zhang Jianguo go to Honghe to cast his nets when he returned.
Ji Qinglan knew without asking that Zhang Jianguo had gone to the county town again. Now that he was not busy with work in the fields, and he was the captain of the militia, he could occasionally take a break and go to the black market without anyone in the village noticing.
After leaving Zhang's house, Ji Qinglan went to the village chief's house and invited the village chief and his family to a banquet the day after tomorrow. Li Changlin had taken good care of her since he took office, and now that she was engaged, he had to invite them.
Ji Qinglan also invited Chen Chunju and her family of three. Chen Chunju and Chen Chunjiang delivered firewood to her every day and took care of the vegetable garden, helping her a lot.
Apart from that, there was the Luo family from the county town, with about two tables of guests.
When they got home, Xiao Yi was playing football with Ji Xincheng in the yard. Xiao Yi made a simple goal with a wooden frame, and the two kicked the football into the goal frame.
Xiao Yi carried the football to the side of the goal and pretended to make a mistake to let Ji Xincheng grab the ball. With his deliberate let, Ji Xincheng was able to grab the ball every time and then kick it in. Ji Xincheng laughed loudly, completely ignoring the sweat on his forehead. When he saw Ji Qinglan coming back, he rushed to her.
Ji Qinglan picked him up and wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief: "Are you tired? Let's take a rest."
"I'm not tired, I want to play more." Ji Xincheng slid to the ground and went to play with Xiao Yi again.
Ji Qinglan ignored them, took out a pen and paper, sat under the grape trellis and started drawing up the menu.
Peanut, kelp and pig's trotter soup, chicken stewed with mushrooms, sweet and sour pork ribs, twice-cooked pork, four-happiness meatballs, fried tofu, pan-fried fish, and then two stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
After preparing the menu, Ji Qinglan showed it to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi naturally had no objection and said that she would make the decision on everything.
He has already discussed the ingredients with Director Luo, and they will be delivered early the day after tomorrow morning.
Xiao Yi had dinner and drove back in the moonlight.
The next day, while Ji Qinglan was still at work, Niu Guixiang started making arrangements and had the pots, bowls, plates and bowls needed for the banquet delivered one after another. They were all borrowed from families she was familiar with. Zhang Jianguo also borrowed tables, chairs and benches and moved them over.
In the afternoon, Zhang Jianguo brought five fish of similar size to raise.
Xiao Yi also came over and helped Ji Qinglan prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's use, and took out the dried mushrooms and kelp from the warehouse to soak them.
I also went to the vegetable garden to help pick vegetables and dig potatoes.
During this time, Xiao Yi suddenly said, "Qinglan, my sister is coming over tomorrow."
"Who's coming?"
Ji Qinglan was bending over to pick cucumbers. He was stunned when he heard this. Who is coming?
"My eldest sister, Xiao Qing."
"Oh!" Ji Qinglan heard it clearly this time, and suddenly realized: "Didn't you say not to let family members come over? Why did my eldest sister come over?"
Xiao Yi was also helpless. The two had originally agreed that no one from the Xiao family would come for the engagement. They were all in Yanjing, and it was inconvenient for them to travel back and forth. They planned to hold the engagement and wedding here, and then go back at the end of the year to hold a wedding banquet and invite Uncle Peng and Xiao's relatives and friends.
As a result, the eldest sister Xiao Qing agreed on the surface, but then turned around and bought the ticket.
Early this morning, brother-in-law Jiang called Xiao Yi at the right time and said that his elder sister was on the way.
"I just received a call from my brother-in-law this morning. My eldest sister is already on the train." Xiao Yi said helplessly.
Ji Qinglan's face turned red, and she stared at Xiao Yi with bright eyes.
She is like an ugly daughter-in-law who has to meet her parents-in-law!
Xiao Yi saw her embarrassment and comforted her: "Don't worry, my eldest sister is a very easy-going person. She has a gentle temperament and is easy to get along with."
Ji Qinglan nodded, and suddenly remembered the TV dramas she watched when she was a ghost in her previous life, the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the family conflicts between mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law...
