Chapter 140 Can't squeeze in

"sister in law."

Xu Qingmeng stood up and said, "You are here. Come in quickly. I have been waiting for you."

Jiang Mingyu said: "I'm really sorry, we were delayed by some things, and I apologize to everyone here three times."

Huang Boyang waved his hand: "No need to be so polite, let's eat first, it's almost cold."

You don’t know how painful it is for him to sit in front of such a table full of delicious food, but unable to eat and only able to look.

Jiang Mingyu smiled and then pulled Sun Jingyi to the table.

Xu Qing dreamed that Xiao Yuanbao was hungry, so he stood up and scooped some steamed eggs with minced meat for him, saying, "This is specially made for him. Give Yuanbao more."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Meng Niang."

She took the small bowl handed to her by Xu Qingmeng, then held Yuanbao in her arms and fed him in small sips.

Soon, the little Yuanbao, who had been depressed just now, immediately became energetic. His big eyes smiled happily, and he danced with joy, shouting "Eat, eat" happily.

Judging from the way Xu Qingmeng looked at him, he was definitely a foodie.

I couldn't help but laugh, and then I thought of Yun Sheng and Yun Mo at home, and wondered how they were doing.

The square table was full with three families with their families sitting on one side, and two bachelors, Huang Boyang and Zhou Yuanjia, sitting together.

Xu Qingmeng glanced at Gu Yunyi calmly. Gu Yunyi gently shook her hand and said softly, "Let's eat."

As he spoke, he first picked up a piece of fish for her with his chopsticks.

Xu Qingmeng could only suppress the doubts in her heart, then looked at Yuanbao who was eating happily, and started eating.

Huang Boyang and Zhou Yuanjia had both eaten meals cooked by Xu Qingmeng and were mentally prepared.

However, the remaining few people were eating it for the first time. After taking a bite, they were all shocked, as if all the dishes they had eaten before were wasted.

Nowadays, people no longer pay attention to the rules, manners and etiquette of eating. All you can hear is the sound of chopsticks touching the plate and the sound of chewing food.

I was still thinking about talking while drinking, but my hand kept picking up food with its chopsticks and words of praise kept coming out.

Each of Xu Qingmeng's dishes was served in large portions. The chicken stewed with potatoes was served directly in a large bowl, a full bowl. Even so, after the meal, there were only empty plates left on the table, and even the sweet potato rice soup had been drunk up.

After Zhou Yuanjia finished his meal, he lazily leaned on the chair, rubbing his stomach with one hand and holding a cup of herbal tea with the other. He couldn't help but say, "It feels so good."

Fang Ziheng wiped the corners of Xiao Yuanbao's mouth and said, "Madam Gu's cooking skills are really amazing."

Hui Niang was teasing him, "I don't know who said that you shouldn't eat too much for dinner, or you'll have food stagnation. But now you've definitely eaten too much and can't get up."

Fang Ziheng was quite helpless. He glanced at his wife, what a fool she was. With so many people around her, she only knew how to expose his shortcomings.

Huang Boyang said with deep emotion: "I haven't eaten Madam Gu's cooking for a long time. I miss it so much. I feel that Madam Gu's cooking skills have improved a lot."

Xu Qingmeng was embarrassed by the praises, her face flushed, and she said, "No, it's all thanks to Hui Niang, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to cook such a big table."

"No way, with my skills, I can only do odd jobs and cut vegetables. Your skills are better. Otherwise, with my skills, I guess my father might not be able to eat tomorrow." Hui Niang said.

"My family has a pork stall, and a few years ago we opened a restaurant. To be honest, don't look at my wife like this. Although she can't cook, she has a lot of strength and knife skills. It's not exaggerated. It's hard for ordinary women to compare with her."

"What? You still dislike me for not being able to cook? It turns out that I haven't starved you to death all these years." Hui Niang glared at him unhappily.

"The noodles are cooked in plain water. You won't starve to death." Fang Ziheng took the small ingot.

It was ok, it was cooked through and not half-cooked, just a little bland in the mouth.

Hui Niang was so angry that she pinched him behind his back.

Fang Ziheng subconsciously wanted to scream out, but there were so many people around, so he quickly covered his mouth and gave Hui Niang a flattering look, indicating that he was wrong.

Sun Jingyi looked at the familiar faces of those people talking and laughing, and felt uncomfortable again.

It was obvious that she was the one who came here with Xu Qingmeng first, and she was the one who got to know him first, but look, it was obvious that the two of them were closer.

Sun Jingyi felt like an outsider and couldn't join in their conversation.

Thinking about the yard where I live now, I feel even more upset. I wonder why I said so much at that time.

Before coming here, Jiang Mingyu had explained everything again and again in advance, so at this moment, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he had to endure it and didn't dare to say anything.

Several people talked for a long time. Huang Boyang came to the city many times. He was the son of the county magistrate and had a lot of experience.

Fang Ziheng was also well-read, and he could talk about wild history and interesting anecdotes at will, which made everyone listen with fascination.

Hui Niang was obviously not impressed by this, apparently having heard too much of it at home, so she stood up and started to clear the table.

Xu Qing dreamed of Hui Niang cleaning the table, and he reacted and quickly got up to help clean up.

Mainly because at home, Gu Yunyi was the one who cleaned up everything, and it became a habit, so I forgot about it.

"You should take a rest. You are still pregnant. You have cooked such a large table of dishes tonight. I can do it myself."

Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "I'm fine, let's sit together quickly."

The two smiled at each other and soon went to the kitchen together with their empty plates.

Jiang Mingyu nudged Sun Jingyi with his elbow, but Sun Jingyi turned her head and looked at him as if she didn't know anything. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Mingyu: “…”

He raised his chin and motioned for her to come over and help.

It would be fine if they just eat and drink for free, but at least they should have some good eyesight and help to clear the plates and wash the dishes.

But Sun Jingyi didn't know what was going on. Maybe she hadn't recovered from what had just happened. She turned her head away, as if she didn't understand his gesture.

Jiang Mingyu was also helpless at this time and sighed softly.

After dinner, they chatted for a while. It was already late, so the men made another appointment.

After Huang Boyang took them to visit a knowledgeable senior, they went their separate ways.

After Xu Qingmeng finished her work in the kitchen, she walked into the house with water on her hands. When Gu Yunyi saw her, he immediately brought her a towel.

Then he shook the towel out and began to wipe her hands.

"My dear, thank you for your hard work. Next time, just leave it in the kitchen and I will wash it."
