Some people brought a few eggs, some brought some millet or glutinous rice, and some brought children's food or small pieces of cloth.

The fabric is small, just enough to make a small pair of shoes for a child.

But the Tian family didn't mind.

He accepted everything with a smile and expressed his gratitude, while also urging everyone to take their seats quickly.

In the countryside, when a family holds a banquet, the male members usually represent them, and that's how most of the people who came today were as well.

However, there are a few...

Take this group that just arrived, for example. It's a family of seven or eight people, young and old. And if you look closely, whose family is this?

"Hey, third brother, congratulations!"

Ding Zhaodi walked ahead of the group and saw Tian Laosan greeting guests by the door. She forced a fake smile on her round face and offered her congratulations.

That's right, it's the Xie family!

Accompanying her were Xie's two sisters-in-law, as well as Xie Shuyan and four other younger members of the Xie family.

Hearing Ding Zhaodi offer her congratulations, they followed suit. Xie Shuyan finished speaking and quickly ran inside.

That's fine. Although the Tian family and the Xie family don't get along, Xie Shuyan is an exception, and Tian Laosan didn't stop him.

But these few women and children from the Tian family…

Old Tian frowned.

He didn't call out to the Xie family, so why did they come?

Moreover, they were all women. Even if Tian Laosan didn't want them to go in, he, as a grown man, couldn't very well say so.

Ding Zhaodi saw this opportunity and, while Tian Laosan hesitated, quickly pulled her sisters-in-law into the courtyard!

There was an empty table right at the front, with no one sitting there.

The group headed straight for them.

They had just walked over and hadn't even had a chance to sit down when someone called out to them.

"This seat is not available..."

It was Wen who happened to be serving the dishes.

At first, Wen didn't recognize them. Seeing that they were just a few women and children, she assumed the table was reserved for the village head and the head of the neighborhood committee...

Before she could finish speaking, Ding Zhaodi and the others looked over.

Wen paused slightly.

Ding Zhaodi seemed not to notice Wen's unpleasant expression and walked forward with a smile to take the two plates of meat from Wen's hands.

At the same time, he couldn't resist making a few sarcastic remarks, "Oh, it's Third Brother's wife."

"Here, here, just give it to your sister-in-law!"

The Wen family didn't want to give it to her!

Ding Zhaodi tried to answer for a while but didn't get the answer. She quickly gave her two sisters-in-law a look, and they immediately ran up to answer it with her.

They call it receiving, but it's really just snatching!

Wen alone was no match for the three of them, and in the end, the two plates of meat in her hands were snatched away!

To prevent the Wen family from taking it back, Ding Zhaodi disregarded her unseemly eating manners and immediately grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

These are two plates of stir-fried pork with bell peppers.

Fresh pork was stir-fried with bell peppers that Grandma Tian had somehow gotten her hands on, and the sweet and spicy juices of the bell peppers soaked into every piece of pork.

That taste…

Even Ding Zhaodi couldn't help but praise how delicious it was.

The customers at the next table who had already sat down and tasted the food also praised it upon hearing this.

Even if the Wen family wanted to kick them out, they couldn't bring themselves to do so!

Seeing her like this, Ding Zhaodi's triumphant tail instantly stood up, and she not only sat down but also picked up her chopsticks to eat.

At the same time, he didn't forget to scold her a few times.

"Third sister-in-law, really! Why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were having such a big banquet? Look at the mess you've made now..."

“I, as the mother-in-law, didn’t even come to help with my future daughter-in-law’s birthday banquet.”

"When she grows up, she won't blame me!"

They talk a good game, but they sing a better game!

Wen Shi had a straightforward temper and couldn't stand her pretentious act. She was so disgusted that she wanted to kick her out immediately!

She was just about to make a move...

Suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulder, and then Old Lady Tian's voice came, "I was wondering why you hadn't come back all this time!"

"Oh, it's the Xie family's wives who have arrived!"

The old lady smiled at Ding Zhaodi and the others, and then said to Wen Shi, "Why is there no food on this table? Go and get some."

Wen's?

She almost thought she had misheard!

Putting everything else aside, if she remembered correctly, her mother-in-law had always disliked the Xie family's sisters-in-law, hadn't she?

Especially Ding Zhaodi!

My mother-in-law used to say that Ding Zhaodi was a troublemaker!

But what is my mother-in-law doing now?

She frowned, bewildered for a long time, and wanted to ask, but the old lady urged her to speak first.

"What are you waiting for? Go on!"

There were many guests around, and even if Wen was unwilling, she could not disobey her mother-in-law's orders in front of so many people.

She could only swallow her anger and go back to the kitchen!

She had only been in the kitchen for a short while when the old lady returned, along with Ding Zhaodi and her sisters-in-law.

This time, it wasn't just the Wen family who were bewildered!

Everyone busy in the kitchen was completely bewildered!

The old lady smiled and called out to He Shisheng, who was washing the dishes, "Second daughter-in-law, don't wash them anymore, leave them to Zhaodi!"

As he spoke, he pushed Ding Zhaodi inside to replace He Shi.

Then he told the two women who were picking vegetables to stop and go to the yard to eat after working all afternoon.

The two women were replaced by Xie's two sisters-in-law.

The old lady was a very frugal person, and she didn't forget to remind the two sisters-in-law of the Xie family, "You two need to keep a close eye on things while you're picking vegetables!"

"We can't pick the tender leaves, we can't waste them!"

Two sisters-in-law…

These two sisters-in-law were completely baffled at that moment.

What just happened?

How did they end up being pulled into the kitchen?

Not only them, but Ding Zhaodi was the same!

After the old lady chased the Wen family back home, they thought they had successfully gotten a free meal, but then Old Lady Tian asked them a question…

They were pulled over!

As for what the question is?

The three of them were a little confused right now. Don't worry, let them think it over.

at the same time.

The Wen and He families placed the "first table"...

After all the dishes reserved for the village head and the head of the village were brought out and set out, we went over to Grandma Tian's table!

The old lady's table was full of female guests.

At that moment, the two women who had been pulled out by the old lady to pick vegetables were gossiping and asking her questions.

"Aunt Tian, ​​what's the deal with those three sisters-in-law, Ding Zhaodi? I heard we didn't invite them over, did we?"

"Yeah, why did you drag them to the kitchen?"

Grandma Tian didn't know why Ding Zhaodi and the others had come.

But she smiled and repeated what Ding Zhaodi had told Wen earlier, and finally said, "They said they wanted to help."

"So I asked a question..."

"Do you really have this intention?"

That's exactly what the old lady asked, but Ding Zhaodi and the others were pulled into the kitchen before they could answer!

The two women immediately understood what the old lady meant, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter!

They chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes! Since they say they want to help, we can't refuse them!"

"Hahaha…"

Wen and He walked over and happened to hear what they were saying!

The two looked at each other, and then they both understood!

Wen had to admit, her mother was truly amazing!

The old lady felt more proud in front of the two women after being praised by her daughter-in-law, and she even straightened her back a little!

The group of people over here were having a lively conversation.

The village head and the others also came, and the three pillars of the Tian family, Tian Lao Er, Lao San, and Lao Si, came to entertain them.

The banquet began.

The villagers raised their glasses to first congratulate Xiao Guoguo on her birthday, and then congratulate the old man from the Tian family on his return.

Speaking of the birthday girl, Xiao Guoguo.

Little Guoguo sat at the table next to the old lady and the others. It was a special table for children, but only the Tian family's children were sitting there.

Ugh, wait a minute…

And Xie Shuyan too!
