Jiang Zhongyou quickly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll arrange it after dinner."
As he spoke, he glanced at the table.
He was so drunk and confused in the kitchen just now that he didn't notice what the two new dishes were.
I took a quick glance at the table and found that there was an extra pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms and a whole pork elbow.
But he came back too late. The elbow had been cut up so much that no flesh or skin was left. Only a bare bone was left on the plate.
It seemed like there was some chicken and mushroom stew left, and a few pieces of meat could be vaguely seen under the soup.
Jiang Zhongyou thought to himself that it was a good thing that these people hadn't gone too far and knew to leave some for himself.
But when Jiang Zhongyou picked up the chopsticks and tried to scoop it out, he found that there was only the chicken head and a piece of chicken butt tip under the soup.
Fortunately, Liu Dongjin, who was sitting next to him, quickly pushed a bowl over from his side. In the bowl was a chicken leg and a large piece of pork elbow with skin and meat.
"Father-in-law, I saw that you haven't come back for a long time, so I left some for you."
Jiang Zhongyou's face, which seemed to be about to be embarrassed, suddenly turned from gloomy to bright.
Everyone at the table also praised it.
"Zhongyou, you have a really good eye for choosing a son-in-law. You didn't choose the wrong person."
"Your son-in-law has you in his heart. He put the food aside for you as soon as he came in, and he didn't even eat a few bites himself."
"Your Qiuyi is so lucky. This young man is very caring and will definitely be a loving wife in the future."
Jiang Zhongyou was praised so much by everyone that he almost lost his sense of direction and just raised his glass to drink.
Ye Hua was furious when she heard this in the west room. It was obvious that this son-in-law was chosen by her.
At that time, Jiang Zhongyou was still full of resentment, thinking that the Liu family was not well off and was not worthy of his own family.
It was the same today when I invited Mrs. Ye to be the chef. Jiang Zhongyou had been arguing with me before, but now that he was at the table and was praised by others, he became happy again and took all the credit for himself.
It would be fine if outsiders didn’t know, but doesn’t he have any idea about it himself?
You really know how to flatter yourself!
Ye Hua was angry, but today was her daughter's homecoming banquet, and she had to entertain the guests with a smile on her face.
Ye Juaner noticed that she was in a bad mood, so she found an excuse to pull her out and asked, "What's wrong with you? You were so happy just now? Why are you angry now after going out? Are you drinking with your brother-in-law?"
"With so many guests today, it's normal to drink a little. How can I be angry about this?"
Ye Hua didn't want to say it at first, thinking that saying it out loud would make him seem too petty and calculative.
But after being asked a few questions by Ye Juan'er, he couldn't help but spill the beans.
She wasn't actually seeking comfort. After she said it all, she felt much better.
"I don't think it's a big deal!" Ye Juan'er laughed, "Aren't all men like this? If you get angry about something like that, won't you end up hurting yourself?
"Besides, don't you know what those men in the main room are like?
"If you start by saying that you were the one who decided on the son-in-law and hired the chef, how can they still praise you? They'll find fault with you even in an egg!
"So if you ask me, the current situation is fine. Why would you bother with a bunch of drunkards like them?
"As long as my daughter is happy and my son-in-law is satisfied, and the couple lives a happy life in the future, isn't that what we, as mothers, want?"
Ye Hua felt much better after hearing Ye Juaner's words.
"You're such a comforter, after hearing what you said, I feel so relieved!"
Ye Juan'er pulled her and said, "Come on, now that we're both out, let's go take a look inside the west wing."
"What are you looking at in the west wing?" Ye Hua didn't understand her intention.
"Let's go see the rabbits!"
Ye Juan'er made a joke, but seeing that Ye Hua was still bewildered, she leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Don't you want to go and see how the young girls and wives in the village envy your Qiu Yi? I think their eyes must be red with envy."
Only then did Ye Hua understand what she meant by going to see the rabbits.
"You have such a mean mouth."
That being said, how could she not want to watch it!
So the two of them went to the west wing together.
As soon as Ye Hua entered the room, he asked with a smile on his face, "I came to see if you were satisfied with the meal today. Was Qiu Yi's hospitality thoughtful?"
The guests in the west wing were all of Qiu Yi's generation. When they saw Ye Hua come in, they all stood up and greeted him.
"Just sit down, there's no need to be so particular.
"I was worried that you would feel restrained and unable to relax, so I set up a separate table for you and let Qiu Yi accompany you. You are of similar age and have such a good relationship in the past, so it would be easier for you to talk when you sit together, right?"
"Yes, thank you Aunt Hua." Huang Yueping was the first to say, "Today's dishes are so delicious. Look, my stomach is so full that it's about to burst.
"Are there any more dishes left? I really can't eat any more."
"It's okay to eat once in a while." Looking at the almost empty dishes on the table, Ye Hua was very happy. He said to Huang Yueping, "But if you really can't eat, don't force yourself. After all, you can still have another meal when you return home in a few days!"
"Ah?" Huang Yueping was stunned when she heard that.
Qiu Yi hurriedly explained, "My mother said that you have to come back to host the return banquet when the time comes."
Qin Xiaofang heard this and said, "A return banquet is different from another return banquet. After all, not everyone can afford such a good chef!"
At this moment, in order to squeeze Huang Yueping, she did not hesitate to praise the Ye family.
