Speak of the devil, and he'll show up. Just as I mentioned Cheng Jiawen, he came in carrying a basket on his back. "Uncle, aunt, Jiaojiao, I'm here. I brought you some food."
After saying that, he put down the backpack and took out a can of malted milk, two strips of bacon, two boxes of biscuits and a big bag of White Rabbit milk candy.
Seeing this, Xu's mother said with a smile: "Jia Wen, why did you suddenly buy so many things? This is so expensive."
Cheng Jiawen smiled faintly, "It's not much, I bought it to nourish your bodies."
Xu Qianjiao quickly took a White Rabbit milk candy and put it in her mouth, "Hmm, it's delicious, try it." After that, she stuffed another one into Cheng Jiawen's mouth. Before Cheng Jiawen could react, the milk candy was already in his mouth.
Mother Xu looked at Xu Qianjiao's coquettish behavior and couldn't help but scold: "Xu Qianjiao, am I short of food or drink for you? Why are you so anxious?"
"Ahem." Xu Qianjiao touched her nose and explained guiltily, "I just wanted to eat it when I saw it."
If she doesn't eat now, she doesn't know when she will be able to eat again. According to her mother's habit, she will put the food away after receiving it and will not take it out for her until a certain time.
So she just wanted to try one first, otherwise she wouldn't know when she would get to eat it again.
Xu's mother looked at her helplessly, "Alright, I'll put it away for you. Just take two a day from now on, okay?"
After saying that, he took out two candies, put one in his mouth, and handed the other to Xu's father, "Well, you just ate it. One for each of us is just fair." Then he took the things into the room, put them in the cabinet and locked it up.
"By the way, when you go to your uncle's house later, remember to eat more and talk less, okay?"
Xu Qianjiao looked at Xu's mother in confusion, "Huh? Why?"
Mother Xu smiled mysteriously, "Your uncle's family all have a habit of talking while eating. Let's eat as much as we can while they're talking. Since they invited us, we shouldn't waste this opportunity."
Father Xu also added: "Yes, you must not learn to be so stupid as them. If you have something to say, why not wait until after you finish eating? Why do you have to say it during the meal?"
Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen exchanged a glance, both noticing the playful look in each other's eyes. They nodded simultaneously, "Got it."
Hehe, I’m really looking forward to what will happen later. If they finish talking and find that there is no food on the table, I wonder what their expressions will be. Hahaha, it’s funny just thinking about it.
Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao are both people who enjoy watching the fun and are very much looking forward to this scene.
-------------------------------------
"Mom, brother, sister-in-law, we are here." As soon as Father Xu entered the door, he greeted everyone in the yard loudly.
The aunt in the kitchen heard Father Xu's smug voice and couldn't help but feel annoyed. She turned to look at Xu Qianrou and scolded her impatiently, "No, you, why did you ask them to come? It was originally a good thing, everyone could have more meat, but now there are a few more people to share it for no reason."
Xu Qianrou looked at her mother's face full of anger and pursed her lips. "Don't worry about it. I have my own considerations. Just do what I say."
After saying that, she walked straight out of the kitchen, leaving her mother alone in the kitchen to work.
The winter night was cold and silent. A few stars dotted the sky, their faint light twinkling in the darkness, as if telling us something. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a faint light, bringing a hint of brightness to the earth.
Everything on earth was covered in snow, a pristine white, with only a few patches of black earth visible. The branches of the trees were covered in ice crystals, which rustled in the wind. The mountains in the distance were also covered in snow, looking like giant snowballs.
After working for more than an hour, Mrs. Xu finally finished preparing the meal. She carried the meal into the dining room. Everyone in the dining room was chatting or playing cards. No one went to the kitchen to help her.
With a bang, she put the dishes heavily on the kang table. Uncle Xu was happily playing cards with Xu's father, Cheng Jiawen, and Song Ziming at the time, and was suddenly startled by the loud noise.
He immediately frowned and cursed, "What are you doing? Can't you be gentler? You're so clumsy."
The aunt-in-law looked at him with grievance, her heart full of sadness. Her husband really didn't care about her efforts. She had been busy in the kitchen for a long time, but no one came to help. Now she was just venting her dissatisfaction, but he still yelled at her like this.
"I've been busy in the kitchen for a long time and my hands are sore now. What's wrong with putting things down a little harder?" My aunt-in-law said angrily with a look of grievance on her face.
"Come on, bring the dishes over quickly and get ready to eat." Uncle Xu gave his aunt a warning look, signaling her not to make a fuss at this time.
My aunt took a deep breath, held it, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
The uncle tried to smooth things over by saying, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. We're ready to eat. Come and sit down."
After hearing what Uncle Xu said, everyone took their seats and divided into two tables. The younger generation including Xu Qianjiao sat at one table, and the elders including Xu's father and mother sat at another table.
Xu Qianrou's eyes flashed with an unnatural look, "I'll go to the kitchen to help my mother serve the dishes."
"I'll go help too." Xu Qianjiao saw that she looked a little strange and quickly offered to help. Xu Qianrou curled her lips and said, "No, no, just sit down. It will be done soon."
After saying that, without waiting for Xu Qianjiao to continue, he turned and ran to the kitchen.
After a while, she came back with two bottles of wine, one on the adults' table and one on their table.
"Come on, let's have a drink today since we're happy." Xu Qianrou picked up the bottle and poured a glass of wine for each of them. Xu Qianjiao stared at her movements intently.
She didn't find anything wrong, but she believed in her intuition. There must be something wrong with the wine. If the wine was fine, then there must be something wrong with the cup. Isn't that how it's played out in TV dramas?
After drinking a glass of wine, she will have sex with the male protagonist, and then the whole world will know about it. The female protagonist will lose face and leave sadly.
However, in this era, if you have sex while drunk, you will be arrested and sent to jail. Having an affair with a whore is a serious crime and you will be taken to reform school in minutes.
After Xu Qianrou poured wine for everyone, she saw that Xu Qianjiao didn't move, so she asked actively, "Why don't you drink? Have a drink. It's rare that you're happy today. Come, I'll toast you."
Xu Qianjiao looked at her kind expression, smiled faintly, and picked up the wine glass beside her, "Come on, let me toast you."
Seeing this, Xu Qianrou's eyes flashed with a smile. She picked up the wine glass beside her and said, "Okay, cheers."
After drinking a glass of wine, red marks appeared on both of their faces.
