"See, what did I say?" Mrs. Ye San smiled and walked out, "Here I come."
When Sister-in-law Ye San arrived at the kitchen, she joked, "Sister-in-law, you're really a great chef now. You can't cook without someone to help you, right?"
Mrs. Ye's face was flushed with praise just now, and she was immediately amused when she heard this. The embarrassment just now seemed to be dispelled with the laughter.
She reached out and pinched Mrs. Ye's cheek and said, "Your mouth really makes people love and hate you."
Sister-in-law Ye San quickly raised her hands to cover her cheeks and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to help, so don't do anything.
"Otherwise, if I tell anyone about you, everyone will say that Madam You, the head chef of Youji Restaurant, bullied her sister-in-law!"
"You, you!" Mrs. Ye was really helpless with her. She pointed her finger at her forehead and said, "I finally know who Chang Xue inherited her mischievousness from.
"Mom used to say that the third child was such a stable person, so how could he give birth to a mischievous child like Chang Xue.
"Now it seems that it's up to you, the mother!"
"Oh, sister-in-law, I don't agree with what you said. Boys are always naughty when they are young!"
…
The Ye family was happily busy cooking, and Ye Lao Si also came to the Zhou family with people and things.
Miss Zhou is getting engaged today, and the Zhou family has made all the preparations early on.
Ever since the Ye family set a date to send someone to deliver the letter, Mrs. Zhou had been ordering the Zhou family's servants around, cleaning up the house and the yard, making everything clean and tidy.
Even the goodies in the warehouse that were only put out during festivals were taken out and placed in the most conspicuous places.
Even so, Mrs. Zhou was still full of worries.
"When Ye Silang bought the house, he didn't have enough money, so his brothers and sisters pooled their money together.
"I'm here to propose marriage now, but I don't know if I have the money to buy the betrothal gifts..."
Although Mrs. Zhou liked Ye Laosi very much, she didn't want her only daughter's marriage to look too shabby.
Mr. Zhou was very calm about this and said, "As the saying goes, don't despise the young and poor.
"Ye Silang has a harmonious family and a promising future. Which one is more important than the little money that you see in front of you?
"If you are worried that your daughter will not be able to live a hard life, we can prepare more dowry and money for her.
"Besides, we're not too old now, so we can still help the kids for a few more years!"
"That's true." After hearing this advice, Mrs. Zhou also began to think more open-mindedly.
Who would have thought that on the wedding day, the betrothal gifts brought by Ye Lao Si, including silver ingots, colorful satin, wine, tea cakes, and three-gold flower crowns, were all very complete and decent.
With the addition of a group of young men from the Yulin Guards to support the event, the neighbors and relatives were full of praise.
Mrs. Zhou finally felt relieved.
She actually didn't care about these properties, she just hoped that the Ye family would pay attention to their daughter.
Only in this way can she appease her heart that is about to marry her daughter off.
Ye Laosi was also in particularly high spirits today. After arriving at the Zhou family to deliver the betrothal gifts, he listened to the congratulations from his colleagues, and the corners of his mouth never fell down.
After leaving Zhou's house, Ye Lao Si greeted everyone and said, "Thank you all for coming to help today. Let's go back to my house for dinner!"
"Captain Ye, you're too polite. It's not that hard at all. We're the ones taking advantage of your good fortune!"
"Who said it wasn't? I was already embarrassed when I took the red envelope at your house this morning, but who knew there would be another red envelope at the Zhou family? We're all lucky enough to have benefited from it!"
"On this happy occasion, you should just celebrate with your family. We won't get involved."
Seeing that everyone was so polite, Ye Lao Si didn't try to persuade them any further. Instead, he said, "Well, if you don't want to go, I won't force you.
"This way, the whole meal prepared by my sister-in-law will only be enjoyed by our family."
When the others heard this, those who had turned around to leave came back immediately.
"Is it Madam You who's cooking for lunch today?"
"Oh, Captain Ye, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Since it's already been prepared, if we don't go, you probably won't be able to finish it. It's such a waste."
"Yeah, yeah, now that we're done, let's go eat!"
Ye Laosi knew this would be the effect, so he smiled, kicked the horse's belly, and turned around to go home.
The others were no longer polite and followed him back to the Ye family.
Because today is Ye Laosi's engagement day, all the members of the Ye family came to Ye Laosi's new house to help him with the arrangements.
Although the new house has been cleaned up, the furniture has not been prepared yet, so we can only temporarily pull some tables, chairs and benches from the dumpling restaurant.
Although it looks a bit simple, the dishes on the table are not simple at all.
When Ye Laosi brought his people back, several dishes had already been served.
Ye Laosan bought some good wine and prepared some firecrackers early on.
As soon as the meal started, firecrackers were set off at the door.
Amid the deafening sound of firecrackers, everyone opened the seals on the wine jars, poured the golden wine into their respective cups, and raised their glasses to congratulate Ye Laosi.
Ye Lao Si picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then greeted enthusiastically: "I'll drink first, everyone can feel free to drink.
"Since you're already at my house, don't be polite and make sure you eat and drink well."
The people Ye Laosi chose today were all young people in the Yulin Guard who were not yet married.
Although everyone was Ye Laosi's subordinate, they were still young after all. After a few drinks, they soon relaxed and the atmosphere in the room became lively.
