Chapter 135: The Nest of Urging Marriage
In the evening, Xu Wanning used her expertise to prepare a table full of sumptuous dishes.
On the table were steamed pork ribs with garlic, braised pork elbow, clear-boiled pheasant soup, spicy rabbit meat, Korean kimchi, hot and sour cabbage, etc.
Xu Wanning also specially invited the captain's family to dinner. The Xu family and the captain's family have a special relationship. When Xu Ye was a child, he also had a good relationship with the captain Shen Yujun.
At that time, Xu's father and Shen Yujun worked in the steel mill together, and their families lived in the steel mill's staff quarters.
Xu's mother also had a very close relationship with the captain's wife, Li Meiyun. Li Meiyun often gave Xu Ye all kinds of food, even food that her own children didn't have, she would send one to Xu Ye.
Li Meiyun even brought a chicken she raised at home, thinking that it was not easy for Xu Ye to come here.
She didn't have anything worthwhile at home, just a few old hens that laid eggs, so she gritted her teeth and took it.
Following her were her two daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law Wang Xiaoping, and the youngest son Shen Weiguo's newly married wife Liu Mei.
Wang Xiaoping greeted him openly while holding the child.
"Xu Zhiqing, I'm so sorry to have to eat with you again."
Xu Wanning pursed her lips and smiled. She had a good impression of Uncle Chen's eldest daughter-in-law.
He is a smart person, has no bad intentions, and will not take advantage of others. These qualities alone are rare.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? We are all family, don't be polite. Besides, you and aunt have always taken care of me!"
The younger daughter-in-law Liu Mei was a little shy and hid timidly behind her mother-in-law Li Meiyun.
Li Meiyun glared in anger. She had chosen this daughter-in-law herself and thought she was honest and obedient. However, she did not expect that after she got married, she found that she was very timid and cowardly, which made her a little upset.
How can such a daughter-in-law manage the household in the future? She wanted to separate from the family as soon as possible and enjoy a peaceful life. But now, it is no different whether there is such a daughter-in-law in her youngest son's family or not. She has to do everything herself.
"What are you afraid of? Ningning is not a stranger. Can she eat you?"
Xu Wanning quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. It was obvious that Liu Mei was a shy person.
"Auntie, why did you bring an old hen? I have everything I need. Look, I even specially cooked a pot of pheasant soup today."
Li Meiyun looked at Xu Ye beside her and a happy smile appeared on her face. The child has grown so tall and it is time for him to get married.
"How much meat can a pheasant have? I've raised this old hen for over a year, and it's so fat!"
"Ningning, save this for your brother to make some nourishing soup!"
Xu Ye smiled and said proudly:
"Auntie, I'm not a stunner. Look, I'm tall and strong now, aren't I?"
Li Meiyun patted his shoulder and looked at Xu Ye carefully.
"Xiaoye, after not seeing you for so many years, you've become more handsome than when you were a child."
Team leader Shen Yujun smiled and nodded. The young man in front of him no longer looked like he did when he was a child. This child was only one year younger than his eldest son, who already had two children.
"Yes, in the blink of an eye we have grown old and the children have grown up."
"Xiaoye, it's time for you to start a family. Look, your brother Weimin already has two children. Your aunt and I are waiting to attend your wedding!"
Xu Wanning covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Today she had really stirred up a nest of marriage urging. Everyone was urging her brother to get married.
"Aunt, Uncle Shen, let's eat quickly. I specially made a few of my signature dishes today. Come and try them and see if they are delicious!"
She was really afraid that if she continued to urge him, Xu Ye would be scared and buy a standing ticket to run to Haicheng overnight.
Xu Wanning blinked at Xu Ye, as if to say, what do you think, am I a good sister to you?
