Although Ye Lao Si didn't have to go to meet his in-laws on the day, he still took a day off to come.
Old Madam Ye put on her most respectable clothes and came out of the house. Seeing Ye Lao Si, she said, "Luckily, we came here to celebrate with your sister-in-law, so we brought some nice clothes. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what to wear, and it would be too late to make some now."
After hearing this, Ye Laosi felt a little uncomfortable.
I have been working in the capital and making money, but I didn't even think of making a few more decent clothes for my mother.
We are meeting the in-laws today. The people from the Zhou family who came are Miss Zhou’s parents and eldest brother.
From the Ye family, Mr. Ye will accompany Mrs. Ye.
Then there was also Shao and another matchmaker, Ms. Xu, who helped to bring them together.
Zhou's father, mother and eldest brother got out of the car and saw the restaurant's facade, but found that there was no sign on it, which they all found quite strange.
Madam Xu observed the other's expressions and quickly said, "This is the old family's new restaurant. It's just been renovated and hasn't opened yet, so we're using it to entertain you."
Upon hearing this, Father Zhou looked up at the three-story restaurant and thought to himself, aren’t the Ye family said to be country folk? How could they afford to open such a big restaurant?
Madam Xu accompanied the three members of the Zhou family into the restaurant. After seeing the interior decoration of the restaurant, the three members of the Zhou family exchanged glances with each other, and their original confidence in their financial resources seemed to be not so strong anymore.
Old Mrs. Ye, Boss Ye and Mrs. Shao, who had been waiting here a long time ago, hurried over to greet them when they saw someone coming.
After Madam Xu helped introduce each other, everyone exchanged a few words and then Old Lady Ye invited everyone upstairs.
After seeing the appearance of the third floor, the Zhou family became even more uneasy.
Mother Zhou kept looking at Madam Xu. Why was this different from what we had agreed on?
"Please take a seat, all three of you." Old Madam Ye invited the three of them to sit down.
Mrs. Ye brought up tea.
When Brother Zhou saw Sister Ye, he stared at her for a long time, which made Father and Mother Zhou feel a little embarrassed.
Mother Zhou tugged at her son's sleeve and said, "What are you doing? That's so rude!"
Brother Zhou suddenly asked, "Excuse me, are you Miss You?"
"Do you know me?" Mrs. Ye looked at Brother Zhou, but she didn't know him, and didn't even feel that he looked familiar.
“Yes, I know you. I’ve eaten dumplings in your shop and I’ve also bought raw dumplings to eat at home.
“There weren’t as many stores as there are now, so I’ve seen you.
"I heard a few days ago that you won third place in the cooking competition. That's really amazing."
After saying this excitedly, Brother Zhou turned to his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, do you remember the dumplings stuffed with motherwort that I bought home earlier? They were made in Madam You's shop."
When they heard their son mention this, Zhou's father and mother immediately remembered it.
At that time, when the son said he had bought dumplings stuffed with motherwort and pork, the two of them were quite disdainful, thinking that such wild vegetables could not be that delicious.
But because their son had eaten there before, they strongly recommended it to them. The two of them didn't want to spoil their son's fun, so they tried it anyway.
I didn't expect it to be so amazing.
That day, the couple almost rushed to finish the dumplings. In the end, they were both so full that they had to take hawthorn pills to help digest the food.
"So those dumplings with dandelions were made by Madam You?" Zhou's mother's attitude immediately warmed up, and she couldn't help asking, "We made some dandelions and made dumplings at home later, but they always tasted bad. I don't know why."
As soon as Zhou's mother finished asking this question, she regretted it.
That must be someone's secret recipe, how could they tell me so easily!
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ye said without hesitation: "There is no special trick, but the dandelions must be dug from the mountains. The taste of those in the fields is different.
"I don't know why, but we used to eat like this when we were outside the Great Wall."
"So that's how it is." Mother Zhou suddenly realized, "Things from the mountains are definitely better than those from the fields, especially in the mountains outside your country. Everything that grows there must have spiritual energy. Otherwise, how could there be so many good things like ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Mrs. Ye said, "You guys sit down first. I'll go cook. This is the first time we've met today, so I'll show you some of my cooking skills."
The Zhou family didn't expect that they would have a relative come over and even be able to eat the food cooked by Madam You.
You know, they are all people who have cooked in the palace!
Seeing that the atmosphere was quite good, Madam Xu quickly helped to change the subject and said, "I never thought that our two families had such a connection!
"The main reason our two families are sitting here today is to discuss the marriage of our two children.
"Let's not be shy about what ideas and demands both sides have. Let's speak them out clearly, otherwise it will be difficult to make amends later."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Ye quickly expressed her opinion: "My family has no requirements, everything depends on the Zhou family.
"We will do our best to cooperate with any requests you have."
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou looked at each other.
Finally, it was Zhou's mother who spoke up: "To be honest, we also secretly went to see Ye Silang before.
"We are quite satisfied with his height, appearance and current job.
"As for his past, Madam Xu also told us.
“This isn’t Ye Silang’s fault, and you can’t blame him.
"Fortunately, we don't have children, so it's not a big problem."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye’s heart, which had been hanging in the air, instantly relaxed.
It’s good enough not to care about Ye Laosi’s past. The next difficulty is the betrothal gift.
