After picking some greens, he carried the chicken and greens back to the front yard.

First, I cleaned the house, sweeping both the front and back yards. Then I went up to the roof to dry dried fish, sea cucumbers, and dried squid. I won't dry them in the yard today.

After wiping downstairs and downstairs, they finally boiled water to pluck the rooster and cleaned it up.

The chickens raised on our own are firm and have a rich flavor; they should be stewed, not stir-fried, for older people.

Chen Hong soaked bamboo shoots and bamboo fungus, and first stewed bamboo fungus chicken in a clay pot. This dish is nourishing and delicious, and is most suitable for the elderly.

She took out a pen and paper, looked through the family's inventory, and wrote down a menu.

Six cold dishes: braised beef, boiled prawns, jellyfish salad, garland chrysanthemum with minced garlic, cold kelp salad, and Arctic surf clam sashimi.

Twelve hot dishes: Braised pork intestines with tofu, steamed sea urchin with egg, dry pot lamb, bamboo fungus chicken, baked lobster, steamed crab, steamed grouper, scallop with vermicelli, stir-fried squid rolls, braised yellow croaker, braised abalone, and a family reunion dish.

Chen Hong planned to serve all the dishes today using a smaller set of tableware, since there were fewer people and it would be better to avoid wasting food.

The drinks include their own homemade wine, as well as Erguotou, Taishan Baijiu, and Kongfu Family Banquet.

Chen Hong also squeezed two large jugs of apple and orange juice and put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.

Chen Hong started getting busy at ten o'clock, picking and washing vegetables, killing fish, and cleaning seafood.

First, cut and arrange all the cold dishes, then prepare all the ingredients needed for the hot dishes, and start cooking as soon as the guests arrive.

At eleven o'clock, the village chief and Uncle Erhu led the guests to the door, and Aunt Guo also came to the kitchen to help.

Chen Hong went to the living room to arrange for the guests to sit on the sofa to rest and have tea. After chatting for a while, she asked Uncle Village Chief to show the guests around the villa.

I went to the kitchen to start cooking. I turned on all three stoves at the same time, and finished cooking and started serving the dishes before noon.

Zhou Yi's mother looked around and nodded repeatedly. She was a good homemaker. She had arranged the house in an orderly manner and kept it clean everywhere.

A large area of ​​various dried seafood was drying on the rooftop balcony.

The chickens and ducks raised in the backyard have shiny feathers and are plump and energetic. Even the two big dogs in the house are fat and strong and quite intelligent.

She especially liked Chen Hong's vegetable garden, which was kept very clean and without a single weed.

She couldn't resist tearing off a tomato and taking a bite, which made her so ashamed she wanted to cry.

Look how well they've tended their vegetable garden; the eggplants and peppers have grown into small trees.

The trellis was laden with green beans, kidney beans, and cucumbers, a truly delightful sight.

She decided to go home and uproot the vegetable garden, planning to grow flowers instead. It was too embarrassing; if she left the vegetables she grew at Chen Hong's house, even the dog wouldn't eat them.

She should really change careers! Maybe she'd be good at growing flowers! Besides, the family doesn't need her bunch of yellowed vegetables.

Once the flowers are planted, she can learn flower arranging. Flower arranging can beautify the environment, cultivate one's temperament, and bring joy to the elderly!

When Chen Hong sat down at the table, the atmosphere was very harmonious. Uncle Village Chief had spent a considerable amount of time with Uncle Zhou Yi's parents yesterday afternoon.

Having gained a basic understanding of their personalities, I no longer regard them as leaders.

The old man also gleaned from between the lines that they were Zhou Yi's family, and he immediately straightened his back.

He doesn't care about high-ranking or low-ranking officials!

Now that they are the man and he is the woman's elder, they have gained a lot of confidence.

I called Chen Hong this morning and found out they didn't know anything about Zhou Yi and Chen Hong.

The old man lowered his chin by five degrees, treating them as ordinary friends.

Otherwise, the old man would have already held his head high, acting as if the woman was unapproachable.

In Shandong, it's an old custom to go to someone's home to ask for a wife who is three generations younger than you!

No matter how high your official rank is, when you meet the bride's in-laws, you must let them be seated at the head of the table; showing them respect is the most important thing.

Judging from Chen Hong's words, her affair with Zhou Yi had not yet been made public, and the village chief couldn't help but curse Yu Hai and his son in his heart.

What a great man! Chen Hong doesn't even dare to settle down! It's all Yu Hai's fault for setting a bad example, making Chen Hong afraid of even a rope after being bitten once!

This girl has a phobia of marriage. If such a good girl is unhappy in her later life, Yu Hai deserves to be struck by lightning.

I heard from Guoqing on the phone that his son has already had a child, so why can't Chen Hong find a good young man?

No wonder he found Zhou Yi pleasing to the eye the first time he saw him! He has good taste, ability, and is good to Chen Hong and her daughter. Only a young man like him is worthy of Chen Hong.

The village chief secretly wondered if his cousin would be furious if he saw Chen Hong and Zhou Yi getting married on their wedding day.

This is a serious issue! No matter how wrong Yu Hai is, he doesn't want to see his cousin actually vomit blood, so it's best to keep it from him!

It's not easy for someone who's been sickly and frail to live to this age. With each of these elderly people dying, there's one less left, and he and Erhu are all alone.

Let's keep him around. Even if we don't see each other for a while, it'll be good if we can still talk on the phone!

The village chief and his brother, Uncle Erhu, kept offering them drinks and food, showing them incredible hospitality.

After Chen Hong sat down at the table, she first toasted Uncle Zhou and Zhou Yi's parents, and then had a drink with Xiao Xue.

Zhou Yi's mother couldn't help but think to herself: "I've really struck gold by marrying this daughter-in-law. She's never shy in any situation."
