A table laden with delicious-looking and fragrant meat dishes, their enticing colors and aromas seemingly testifying to the importance the Yu family placed on this blind date.
There's glistening braised pork belly, golden-fried preserved mustard greens with pork belly, bright red prawns, fragrant fish chunks with fermented black beans, cold pig's ears salad, sliced beef, and more.
This much meat dish is something that even people in a county town might not have at a banquet.
Not to mention the countryside, where a meat dish and a stir-fried egg with chili peppers are considered very good when entertaining guests.
Even when stir-frying meat, it's just a few slices of meat with potatoes, glass noodles, or cabbage as a side dish.
Unlike their family, who had a whole bowl of braised pork and braised pork with preserved mustard greens, which were the kind of high-class dishes that wealthy families in the city could only afford to eat at occasional banquets or during the New Year.
There are also braised pig ears and braised beef slices, which are things that people in rural areas would never make or know how to make.
Hao Qiumei, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but sigh inwardly when she saw the table full of food: It seems that Cuiping's family really values this blind date. You can tell just by looking at these dishes.
Ordinary families wouldn't be willing to do that.
When Hao Xiaohe saw the sumptuous dishes on the table, her eyes widened instantly, and she was deeply shocked.
She secretly marveled, "The Yu family is really generous; so much delicious food. They must be quite well-off!"
As for the house, I estimate it will be built sooner or later.
However, since she's going to marry into the family, she definitely wants them to build a new house first.
Anyway, when building a house, we always ask the villagers to help. Many hands make light work, and it can be built in half a month.
Two weeks is plenty of time.
Her gaze was fixed on the meat dishes, and she swallowed involuntarily.
Her mother was even more extreme; before the host could even greet her, she couldn't wait to start eating.
The chopsticks reached for a piece of glistening braised pork, stuffed it into the mouth, and began to chew it heartily, making a "smacking" sound.
Seeing her mother start eating, Hao Xiaohe stopped being reserved and started wolfing down her food.
The mother and daughter seemed to only have eyes for the meat dishes, completely ignoring the vegetables next to them.
"Xiaohe's mother, eat slowly, don't choke." Pan Cuilian was afraid that the other person was eating too fast and would choke.
"Auntie, don't worry about my mother. She eats like this at home too."
I'm used to it, I'm used to it.
You eat too...
My aunt's cooking is pretty good, much better than my mother's and mine.
I've never had such delicious food before!
While praising Pan Cuilian, Hao Xiaohe kept piling food into her own bowl.
Although she works in the county town and eats better than at home, she can only eat meat once a week.
Where have I ever seen such a sumptuous meal!
She wouldn't be foolish enough to feign modesty; refusing to eat would be foolish.
"If Xiaohe likes to eat, then eat more."
However, this dish wasn't made by my aunt; it was made by my second son, Chengyuan.
However, the eldest brother, Ping An, can also cook, though his skills are a little worse than the second brother's.
Pan Cuilian explained with a smile, and then invited Hao Xiaohe to eat.
"Little sister, you're not worried that I'll eat two extra pieces of your family's pork, are you?"
That's why they told me to eat slowly.
I was in a hurry and hadn't had breakfast yet, so I was a little hungry.
Please don't take offense!
Hao Xiaohe's mother said in a sarcastic tone.
“Xiaohe’s mother, no, I didn’t think that way.”
Eat more.
Pan Cuilian quickly explained.
"I see. Well then, little sister, I won't stand on ceremony."
I told you, my sister isn't the type to be so stingy. If she were, I definitely wouldn't be willing to marry my daughter into your family.
But since you've explained it all, I'll definitely believe you.
I can finally rest assured that my daughter will marry into this family.
"Ping An, could you please get me another bowl of rice?"
Yu Pingan had no choice but to get up and serve her rice.
Thinking to myself, this future mother-in-law really has a big appetite; this is already her third bowl of rice.
Luckily, Mom cooked enough rice, otherwise there wouldn't have been enough, which would have been awkward.
And this little girl, Xiaohe, looks like she can eat a lot. She ate a lot of meat but didn't touch the vegetables. Does she not like vegetarian food?
That can't be!
No one can afford to eat meat every day.
The village chief's wife, who had acted as the matchmaker, was so embarrassed that her face turned bright red. She felt incredibly ashamed.
She kept giving the mother and daughter meaningful glances, hoping they would pay more attention to their appearance, but the two women completely ignored her.
The village chief's wife was furious: What kind of mess is this!
Out of consideration for her brother, she kindly introduced them, but this mother and daughter are completely ill-mannered and have really embarrassed me!
She inwardly groaned, but forced a smile onto her face.
"Sister-in-law, eat slowly, don't eat too much, or you won't be able to walk properly later."
Didn't my brother tell you to lose weight?
"You should be more restrained."
My sister-in-law is very fat, I don't know how she got so fat. Her family is not well-off, and they rarely eat meat, maybe once a month. How did all this fat end up on her?
"Sister-in-law, I understand. Eating one meal won't make you fat."
During the meal, Hao Xiaohe stuffed food into her mouth while inquiring about the current situation of the Yu family. "Uncle, Aunt, your house is a bit old. Didn't Uncle just say it would leak when it rains?"
When are you planning to build your new house?
With food in her mouth, she asked indistinctly.
The mother smiled and replied, "Xiaohe, don't worry, the children are doing well now, and the two brothers are working hard to earn money!"
