When it was time to eat, An Hua was horrified to find that women and children were not allowed to sit at the table. Instead of setting up a separate table for them, the dishes were divided and placed in the kitchen. The women and children ate while holding their bowls, squatting, or sitting on small stools.

She had only heard about it on the Internet before. Even in the environment where the original owner lived, there was no such situation where a woman would not sit at the table.

But soon, Xiao Yu pulled An Huan, who was standing there in a daze, to sit on the table, and also pulled Dong Dong to sit next to him.

Before Xiao Mancang at the head of the table could say anything, Xiao Tieniu frowned first, "Third brother, it is a rule passed down from our ancestors that women should not eat at the table. You can't break the rule just because your sister-in-law is from the city."

Xiao Tiechui said hurriedly: "What are the rules? It's a new society now, who still cares about the rules of the old society? Sit down peacefully, sister-in-law, don't be restrained."

Although he said nice things, Xiao Tiechui never asked his wife to come and sit at the table.

But An Hua didn't meddle in it. She couldn't stay here for many days anyway. Even if she didn't like this situation, there was no need for her to intervene.

She smiled generously, "Second brother, you worry too much. I'm not reserved at all."

Xiao Tiechui laughed dryly twice. This third brother's wife looked very powerful and it would be difficult for his third brother to subdue her.

Xiao Mancang felt that the third daughter-in-law came from the city and was different from the other two daughters-in-law, so he said: "The third daughter-in-law is a cultured person and should be seated. Okay, stop talking and start eating."

Xiao Tieniu quickly reached for his elbow with his chopsticks, but saw Mrs. Xiao winking at him not far away.

Xiao Tieniu was confused for a long time before he suddenly remembered.

He didn't know how to beat around the bush and said directly, "Third brother, I beg you to do something. Your nephew is old enough and wants to join the army. Please give the army a call."

There were very few vacancies for military service in rural areas, with only one vacancies available for every production team.

Of course, under normal circumstances, getting a place in the army for his nephew is not a big deal. Even if Xiao Chen does not have much brotherhood with his brothers, he will help.

But this is not the normal situation.

Xiao Yu's face darkened when he heard this. "Brother, you are talking about Qingfeng's nephew, right? He has one long leg and one short leg. Do you still want him to join the army?"

Xiao Tieniu was unhappy and drank a glass of wine. "You are a high-ranking officer in the army, can't you do this?"

Xiao Xiao was angrily said: "It can't be done!"

Mrs. Xiao came over and said with a smile: "Third brother, you also know the situation of our Qingfeng. He was born with a limp and has difficulty working. I want to marry him, but there are not many good girls who like him. So I thought, let him join his uncle's army, just as if he had found a job. With his uncle around, he won't be afraid of being bullied by others."

Xiao Chen said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense. The army belongs to the country, not me! Soldiers are for fighting. Can people with weak legs and feet fight? Child's play! Brother, sister-in-law, I can never do this."

"We don't have to fight..." Xiao Tieniu said, "I heard that there are cooks in the army, so let your nephew be a cook. As long as he can eat the rice in the army, that's all!"

"The cooks are responsible for logistics and are supposed to follow the combat troops!" Xiao Chen waved his hand, "Let's stop here and don't talk about it anymore."

Xiao Tieniu's face suddenly turned cold. He said that they were real brothers, but he turned against him just because he became a high-ranking official. However, the other person's status was different after all, and Xiao Tieniu did not have the courage to confront him.

Mrs. Xiao also had a sullen face and turned away.

As a result, the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little awkward.

Xiao Tiechui smiled and said, "Let's eat. Third brother finally came back and brought his sister-in-law with him. Let's all be happy."

So, Xiao Tiechui began to talk about the interesting things that happened in the production team and recalled his childhood from time to time.

Unlike Xiao Tieniu, Xiao Tiechui was obviously much more tactful. Xiao Mancang was also satisfied with his second son's change of atmosphere and nodded approvingly.

Xiao Tiechui glanced at Xiao Tieniu, with a flash of disdain in his eyes.

Idiot, you are acting so superior when asking others to do something for you, do you think you are the king? Even dad didn't show off his wealth to the third child.

And look at what he is asking for, to cram a cripple into the army? But he was the one who thought of it!

According to Xiao Tiechui's idea, Qingfeng is already in that state, so he should just save more money for him to get married, and it would be right to use the third child to raise other normal children.

However, Xiao Tiechui would never give Xiao Tieniu any advice. It was up to Xiao Tieniu whether to listen to him or not. Even if he listened to him and lived a good life, he would not be grateful to him at all.

He just needs to take care of his own business!

Because Xiao Chen rejected Xiao Tieniu's request, Xiao Tieniu didn't say a word afterwards, as if he was waiting for Xiao Chen to take the initiative to seek peace with him.

Unfortunately, Xiao Xiao ignored him, and Xiao Tieniu left angrily after the meal.

Before the meal, he even took away all the leftover chicken...
