Chapter 439 Preparations for the Hundred Days Banquet
At the dinner table
The old man once again asked about the details of the two little ones' hundred-day banquet, fearing that there would be any omissions.
"Have you confirmed the number of relatives from Yiyi's mother's side?"
Relatives and friends in the south city have to send a car to pick them up and arrange accommodation for them, so we can't be careless.
"Confirmed, the car and accommodation have been arranged." Lu Yaozong nodded.
"When the time comes, Yaozong and Mengjie, you must be careful not to be impolite and let Yi Yi's family think that we don't value her." The old man glanced at his son and daughter-in-law beside him.
"Yeah! Okay." Lu Yaozong responded softly.
"Mengjie, have you prepared the red envelopes for the children for the hundred-day party?" asked the old lady.
"We packed three hundred, or twenty based on the amount they packed when they got married." Qin Mengjie said hurriedly.
"Please pack some more, no matter how much." The old man said.
"Okay! After dinner, I'll go buy another two hundred." Qin Mengjie agreed with a smile.
The Tao family was stunned when they heard this.
A red envelope of twenty...
Three hundred red envelopes would be six thousand.
This is not enough!
These days, many people only give ten or twenty yuan as gifts.
The red envelope they gave to the children was only twenty yuan...
Isn't that a losing business?!
"Xingning, you should go early to help take care of Ruibao and Qibao. There are so many people in the hotel, don't let anyone touch them..." The old lady's gaze shifted to Lu Xingning.
There are always some people who pinch and rub children's faces in the name of entertaining them, regardless of whether their hands are dirty or not.
When Xiao Jiaojiao was a hundred days old, the relatives from the He family's hometown behaved like that.
A pair of old hands like dry tree bark scratched Xiao Jiaojiao's face. In a few strokes, Xiao Jiaojiao's fair face turned red.
Those people were the elders of the He family. Lu Xingqing and He Yi felt uncomfortable, but they could only hold it in.
"Grandma, don't worry. If anyone dares to touch my Ruibao and Qibao's faces, I will make them lose face." Lu Xingning promised.
There are some things that are hard for adults to say, but it is easy to say to a "child" like her who has no sense!
The old lady, the old man, Lu Yaozong, and Qin Mengjie all gave her admiring looks at the same time.
After dinner, Qin Mengjie took out money and red paper to wrap red envelopes.
The banknotes were filled with brand new numbered bills, and you could tell at a glance that they were withdrawn in piles from the bank.
Lu Xingning, Tao Xiaoyue and Liu Hailan also helped to wrap the red envelopes, and two hundred red envelopes were quickly wrapped.
"My parents are really generous, unlike the Chen family, who only gave a red envelope of one yuan for the full moon banquet." Lu Xingning helped Qin Mengjie put the red envelope into her handbag.
"I only have two grandsons, Ruibao and Qibao. If I don't spend the money on them, who else should I spend it on?" Qin Mengjie smiled and zipped up her handbag.
This is Qin Mengjie's true words.
Although she advocates gender equality, in Qin Mengjie's heart, everything in the house should belong to her grandson.
"Mom, do you not want your daughter anymore now that you have a grandson?" Lu Xingning pouted, pretending to be displeased.
"When I already have a grandson and a daughter-in-law, why do I need a son or a daughter?" Qin Mengjie snorted.
"Dad, listen to what my mom said. She said that now that she has a grandson and a daughter-in-law, she doesn't need a son or a daughter anymore." Lu Xingning turned around and complained to Lu Yaozong, who was playing chess with the old man on the terrace.
"There's nothing wrong with what your mother said!" Lu Yaozong didn't even raise his head.
"A son is raised for his daughter-in-law, and a daughter is raised for her son-in-law. In the end, only the grandson and the daughter-in-law are their own."
"According to what you said, the grandson should still be raised by his granddaughter-in-law!" Lu Xingning retorted.
"At least Ruibao and Qibao are still ours before they get married!" Lu Yaozong picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip, his eyes never leaving the chessboard.
Lu Xingning was speechless.
So a married boy or girl belongs to someone else's family.
The Tao family felt even more depressed after hearing this.
They could never have imagined...
The Lu family is so patriarchal.
"Auntie Wang, is Yi Yi's soup ready?" the old lady asked after seeing the two little ones come out.
"It's ready to stew." Aunt Wang came out of the kitchen with a smile.
"Go and break off some corn and cook it. It will taste delicious." The old lady raised her eyes and glanced at the wall clock.
"Just break one off for her to satisfy her craving. Don't give her too much. She won't be able to digest it if she eats too much." The old man said hurriedly.
"Hey!" Mother Wang responded and trotted to the backyard.
The Tao family's hearts sank again.
They now realized that the Lu family cared about no one except Lu Yujing and those two little bastards.
As for the guy from the small county, he only came because she was breastfeeding...
Tao Yong and Liu Hailan have seen many families that favor boys over girls, but this is the first time they have seen a family that blatantly favors boys over girls like the Lu family.
Especially the old lady and Qin Mengjie...
That's blatant favoritism.
He really isn't afraid of hurting his daughter's feelings.
As soon as the corn was put into the pot, Jian Qingyi and Lu Yujing came out.
"Auntie Wang, my sister-in-law and brother are up." Lu Xingning was the first to see.
"I know!" Aunt Wang responded from the kitchen.
Then there was the slight clattering of pots and pans.
"Sister-in-law, my parents said that with you, Ruibao and Qibao, my brother and I are useless." Lu Xingning held the fruit plate in front of Jian Qingyi.
"It's okay, your sister-in-law will love you from now on." Jian Qingyi reached out and picked three grapes, fed one to Lu Xingning, one to Lu Yujing, and stuffed the remaining one into her own mouth.
"My sister-in-law loves me the most in this family." Lu Xingning snorted coldly at Lu Yujing.
"Sister-in-law, if my brother bullies you in the future, I will definitely stand on your side."
"Very good!" Jian Qingyi smiled and patted Lu Xingning on the shoulder, expressing her affirmation of her loyalty.
"Lu Xingning, can't you just hope that your sister-in-law and I will do well?" Lu Yujing was very dissatisfied.
"He can't even show enough love for his young wife, but he bullies her..."
Bully……
Thinking of the young wife crying miserably.
If that's considered bullying.
Then he did...
Bullying the young wife.
While they were chatting and laughing, Aunt Wang brought the hot food over.
For lunch, we had chestnut and black chicken soup.
Because of consideration for Jian Qingyi's appetite, the soup tasted very light.
Lu Yujing went to the table and first served a bowl of soup to his young wife.
"Wife, be careful of the heat."
While he was talking, Lu Yujing had already started peeling shrimps.
Grass shrimp, the king of freshwater shrimp, has a thin shell and thick meat. Its protein content is as high as 20%, but its fat content is only 1% or 2%.
Although it is not the best time to eat grass shrimp now, the meat of grass shrimp is still firm and sweet.
Jian Qingyi ate several of them in a row.
I don’t know if it’s because of breastfeeding the two little ones, but Jian Qingyi’s current appetite is comparable to that in the late stages of pregnancy.
A big bowl of soup, a few thumb-thick grass shrimps, half a bowl of loofah and tofu, a few pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs, a small plate of stir-fried lettuce, and half a bowl of rice.
