Chen Mengyao shuddered as he recalled the scene of his father destroying the cards. It was too horrible: "He was accompanying Beibei to sleep, not playing cards."
Wang Lixia breathed a sigh of relief: "That's still good."
The estimate today was twenty tables, but in reality there were more than that, at least twenty-five.
Xiao Ye took the others to borrow tables and chairs everywhere.
As soon as twenty-five tables were gathered, the dishes were served again.
This day.
Xiao Ye was almost the only one responsible for serving the dishes. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water.
After bringing the last steamed bun to the table, Xiao Ye finally had time to rest. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that he was free, Old Lady Xiao came over with a cane and asked, “When will you return to the army?”
"Stay for another three or four days."
Old Mrs. Xiao said forcefully: "Take your second uncle with you then."
Xiao Ye didn't know what Old Lady Xiao was thinking: "Why take him there?"
"Looking for a job, your wife can find a job, I don't believe your second uncle can't find a job."
Xiao Ye looked at Old Lady Xiao with a half-smile: "If it were really that easy to find a job, my second uncle would have become a worker long ago.
Milk.
My future is earned through hard work.
If you want your second uncle to have a bright future, you can let him work harder."
Old Mrs. Xiao choked with anger: "Aye, he is your second uncle, we are all family, but he has the worst conditions, you can't just ignore him."
Xiao Ye is not a saint, how can he help others casually: "I'm sorry, I can't help.
Let’s talk about it later.
Except for Xiaojie, I don't like anyone else in the second house.
If you want the second house to be successful, you must send Xiaojie to school more often.
Of all the people in the second house, he looks most like Grandpa."
Old Mrs. Xiao paused, and finally sighed, and didn't force Xiao Ye anymore.
…
The guests were all surprised when they saw the dishes on the table.
"So much meat, it's really a waste!"
"Aye and his wife receive a monthly salary, so this isn't a burden at all for them."
"This meat must have cost a lot of tickets, right? How could they have so many tickets? It seems like they must have borrowed a lot of favors."
"They have the ability."
"Stop talking, stop talking, eat quickly, or it will be gone soon." A few villagers wanted to gossip, but when they saw others eating as if they hadn't eaten for hundreds of years, they kept picking up food and stopped chatting, and immediately joined the group.
After dinner.
The villagers left the Xiao family one after another.
Chen Mengyao's grandparents also said they wanted to go home.
Wang Lixia held them back and said, "Don't leave yet. Come back with me later and stay with me for a few more days."
Grandma and Grandpa hadn't seen Pingping for a while and didn't want to go back, but Pingping didn't live with the Shen family, so the two old people hesitated again: "If Pingping doesn't live with you, there's no point for us to stay here."
Wang Lixia choked. "You only want to see Pingping and not me. After all, I'm your daughter too. I'm going to Xiangcheng again in a few days. Who knows when I'll be back next time?"
Grandma Wang understood the hidden meaning in her words: "You're not coming back for the New Year?"
Wang Lixia shook her head: "During the Chinese New Year period, the weather was too cold, and the children were still young. I was afraid they would be cold."
Grandma Wang hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to stay.
The older elders sent gifts.
Chen Mengyao was sent back for an extra dollar.
The elders gave her money, but she didn't want to take it.
I'll refund the same amount, but no one will hear it.
One dollar, just now.
After seeing off all the guests, Chen Mengyao was completely exhausted. She stretched out her arms and legs and lay on the bed: "I'm so tired."
