Compared with the excitement at the wedding banquet, Qi Bao and his table were really quite embarrassing.

What the Xu family is like, they have already told the Zhou family about their elder brother, received the deposit, and gossip everywhere, which makes people feel annoyed when they think about it.Grandmother Zhou of the Zhou family is not fussy, and no matter how the Xu family is, Xu Miao is a good person, so he can't disregard his face and make trouble with the Xu family.

The Xu family was also embarrassed. Xu Shui looked solemn, but kept looking at the newly built yard, obviously not very satisfied.Father Xu and Xu Shui's brother Guan Yue felt guilty because they belittled the Zhou family everywhere before.

Whether it's the silk hanging in the yard or the craftsmanship of the banquet, it's not something that a family of ordinary household slaves can do.The village where Guan Yue lives is much richer than Daliushu Village. There are a few scholars and two Juren. When the master Juren's house holds a wedding, he hires a cook from the Jiangyue Tower in the county. The dishes he cooks are With this appearance and this taste, Guan Yue will never forget anything.

The fact that the Zhou family was able to invite the chef from the largest restaurant in the county to make a wedding banquet shows that the Zhou family is well-off.Moreover, the relationship between the Zhou family and their main family, the little master of the Qi family, is not like a master and servant, but more like a relative.Zhou's grandmother and Zhou's father are more like the elders of the little master of the Qi family. Whatever they say, the young master of the Qi family will listen to whatever they say, and they are very obedient.

Could it be that the rumors about the young master of the Qi family that I heard in the village before are all false? Anyway, it’s no wonder that the Tao family grandma is not easy to get along with, and she must have not asked for any favors at the Qi family, so she said Gossip everywhere.

The most important thing is that Guan Yue thought of a deeper problem. The young master of the Qi family still looks like an ignorant child. I am afraid that he has been controlled by the Zhou family, or they are slaves. , Where there is this capital, make it casually.I offended the Zhou family when I asked for the gift money before, and I was afraid that they would feel that I was petty. Guan Yue regretted it in her heart.

"Hehe... Grandma of the Zhou family, you see, this Miao brother has also married into your Zhou family. We will be a family in the future. If there is anything wrong with me before, you can always take it more seriously. Don't follow me. I care about this junior." After speaking, he looked at Xu Shui and motioned him to pour wine for Old Man Zhou.

Xu Shui glanced at him, and was unwilling to talk to him. What Guan Yue did a few days ago was a bit unkind. Although Xu Shui gave his brother private money later, it was not something that could be shown in the face. I can only save it for emergencies.If he really gave it to the public, then their family, even their own brother, would not be able to stop.

Xu Shui felt that whether his brother's dowry was rich or not had a lot to do with whether he would be offended when he followed the man's house.If Xu Miao's dowry is generous, let's see who dares to chew his tongue.Brother Xu was angry with himself, so he didn't care about Guan Yue's express hints.

Guan Yue stomped her feet secretly, no one in this family could make him look good.Xu Shui is straight, doesn't know how to nod and bend over to say nice things, it's easy to offend people, usually when you have work to do, you see him, and when you don't have work to do, you wish to keep him from hiding in the house, so as not to offend people and don't know.

Father Xu is even more of a wimp, he doesn't do his job properly, he likes to gamble and drink, and he used to be controlled by his brother, so he only dared to take the coins hidden by his brother secretly.Now being rubbed by her son's Zhengjun, she doesn't even dare to steal copper coins, so she can only follow others to play the autumn wind, and she is ashamed and thrown to the far and wide. Sometimes Guan Yue wishes that her old man died early and passed away early.

In other words, Guan Yue's favorite is a brother like Xu Miao.Can handle things, can talk, and can do things in the kitchen outside the house.But it's a pity, if such a brother can become his own brother, or someone else's family can be a good brother, but he can't be his brother-in-law. If he is in the family, he can't have such a person. Who will be the family?

Guan Yue figured it out.He used to be the brother-in-law of the family, and he was his enemy, so he didn't want to see him anymore.Now Xu Miao belongs to someone else's family, and seeing that this family is still somewhat capable, Guan Yue's mind became active again.It's just that he thought this family was someone else's slave, and he didn't think much of it, so he didn't have much room for talking and doing things, but now he regrets it.

But Guan Yue is not the kind of person who will shrink back. Seeing that the family is rich, she naturally wants to separate out relatives. She doesn't want to show her shame, and she can't cut off contact with this family.

"Come on, Zhou's grandmother eats vegetables. I've heard of this dish. It's called 'Carp Leaping over the Dragon's Gate'. It has a good meaning. Before we went out, we ate it at Gaojuren's house in the village. People have said, eat this, you can be the number one scholar in high school, and at the very least, you can also be a master of Juren!"

Qi Bao chuckled when he heard this, the number one scholar and Juren of affection were both made by eating this dish, so he will have to eat and see, maybe he can make a number one scholar for fun in the future.

Just as Qi Bao used chopsticks to pick up the fish, Grandma Zhou hurriedly pulled him back. She used chopsticks to pick up a piece of Qi Bao and put it on the plate in front of her. You seem to be stuck in your throat, let's see where you are going to cry."

After picking out the thorns, he let Qi Bao eat with his chopsticks, and then picked another piece of thorns for him.Qi Bao hurriedly said: "Grandma, you can eat it too. I just want to taste how it tastes. Maybe if I eat this, I can also give you the number one prize in the exam, so that you can have a good time doing it."

Grandma Zhou smiled and picked a piece of braised pork ribs for Qi Bao, "It's just nonsense, then we will eat it too, we will learn how to read and write that article, it's just other people's jokes, we Bao'er is not in the mood to follow suit. Come on, Bao'er eats this, this cook is said to be the best cook in Jiangyuelou in the county, and I taste it is not as delicious as my Bao'er's cooking."

When Guan Yue was told this, she couldn't hold back her face at once, her face turned red and white, and she held up her chopsticks and put it down, neither to pick up food nor to put it down.

Father Zhou coughed, and said: "Okay, we all live in the same village, and now we are considered in-laws, and those who are relatives are not welcome, you should eat and drink. Brother Xu's family is also a good wine Yes, I usually don’t eat and drink too much, but today I’m happy, there is wine piled up in the lower room over there, so you just open it up and drink it. The same is true for Xu’s kid. I don’t usually see you eating well. When I was a child, I was like, All the good things are left to the brother at home, and I eat the bran and drink the water. If nothing else, our family is thinking of you, and we will not treat your brother Miao badly. Our people from the mountains and the mountains Stay here, if Taozi is really angry with your brother Jia Miao, we will be the first to spare him."

Xu Shui snorted, thought for a while, and finally picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.I live at the foot of the mountain, if Xu Miao really has something to do, then I'll be there with a yell, and I just can't bully his family Xu Miao.

Xu Shui moved his chopsticks, and everyone at the table breathed a sigh of relief. After all, no matter how hard Mr. Xu and Guan Yue are to answer, Xu Shui's attitude will really affect Xu Miao.If Xu Shui couldn't accept that his younger brother married into the Zhou family, Xu Miao would naturally not be happy, and it would inevitably affect the relationship of the family.

Seeing that Xu Shui let go of it gradually, Qi Bao hurriedly moved his chopsticks too. With Xu Shui's appetite, if he didn't eat any more, there might not be anything left on the table.

"Bao'er, slow down, don't get stuck." Grandma Zhou likes to watch Qi Bao eat, and she feels delicious just looking at it.

"Grandma, you can eat it too." Qi Bao picked up a piece of elbow meat for Zhou Grandma, dipped it in thick sauce, "it won't taste good when it's cold."

Father Zhou poured a small glass of wine for Qi Bao, "Bao'er also drinks, after a year and grows up, you have to drink some wine to be considered a man."

Qi Bao took the glass, took a sip of the wine with a smile, and immediately his nose and mouth came together, and he stuck out his tongue, "It's so spicy!"

Father Zhou laughed loudly, and said, "Bao'er has to learn to drink. Father still remembers arguing with Taozi to drink when he was a child. Why can't he drink now?"

"How can I have it? It's Taozi who wants to drink, but he dare not tell you, so he has to drag me." Qi Bao quibbled.

"That's right, that child has been a ghost since he was a child." Father Zhou chuckled, and his tone was full of the comfort and inexplicable bitterness of a child growing up.Thinking back to those two little dolls who ran behind him all day long, now that one or two have grown up and married brothers, I am afraid that in the future they will never run around an old man like him again. up.

"It's a happy day, daddy doesn't like to speak ill of Taozi, Taozi heard carefully, we don't agree." Qi Bao put his arms around daddy Zhou's arm and said coquettishly.

"I know, I know, I just don't say anything, just don't say anything." Father Zhou said cheerfully to Qi Bao.

Xu Shui looked at it coldly, this young master of the Qi family really didn't seem to be intolerant, and his relationship with the Zhou family was good, thinking that my brother would not suffer any grievances from him, Xu Shui let it go slightly heart.

The lively wedding banquet was held from morning to night. Most of the friends Zhou Tao knew everywhere left after drinking a glass of wedding wine. They were not ordinary people. How could they have so much time to get together for drinking and eating.Most of the people in the village left the banquet and helped to regulate things. Some acquaintances brought back big dishes. There were not many people in the Qi family and the Zhou family. It's a pity to throw it away. People in the countryside don't live like this, so they take it back for acquaintances to eat.

Qi Bao doesn't like to eat leftovers, so he only keeps a few untouched ones at home. When the time comes, return them to the spoon, steam and reheat them, and they will be as good as new ones.

The folks who helped were sent away, and a big red envelope was wrapped for the cook who stayed for dinner. This is the reward from the host family in addition to the commission.Because of such a happy event, the cook came to help, and it was always a gift. Anyway, the meaning was good, so when the cook was sent away, an extra reward was included.Naturally, there are also unscrupulous families who don't give up anything except commissions. It is difficult for such families to hire people in the future.

In addition to this reward, at the wedding banquet, after all the dishes are served, the cook will use the remaining ingredients to make a soup or add a meat dish, which also depends on whether the host can spare the money to prepare material.This dish was made extra by the chef, so it is a very good omen, so the more particular hosts will also give a reward.

The Zhou family was not short of the money. The chef cooked a dish of braised saury in braised sauce, which was very flattering to the host, and the guests were not flattering. Zhou Tao directly sealed a big red envelope.

Before the cook left, he cooked a sumptuous meal, which was a reunion dinner.The Zhou family and the new brother Xu Shui and Qi Bao Xu Jibai sat around the table. This meal symbolized that the husband’s family officially accepted the new brother. From then on, the new brother would eat with the husband’s family. It is a bit particular about eating rice in a bowl and drinking soup in a basin.

Originally, the Zhou family was supposed to eat this meal together, but Qi Bao and the Zhou family are actually like a family, except for the difference in surname, they are even closer than a family, so how could he be missing during such a reunion.

Although Xu Jibai is a guest, everyone knows that his relationship with Qi Bao is extraordinary.Besides, several members of the family have come to have a reunion dinner, so it's not easy to leave him alone, the Zhou family is a soft-hearted generation, such a thing, I can't bear it.

So Xu Jibai sat at the table as Qi Bao's family member in a fair and aboveboard manner.
