Chapter 23: Banquet (1 / 1)



Gu Baijian had already loaded the things into the car with nimble hands and feet.

Okay, it's more convenient to have a car.

Every time the bull cart hit the ground, I felt uncomfortable and felt like I was going to vomit the contents of my stomach.

Gu Baijian was the one talking to Su Xin all the way, and Su Xin was the one responding.

When Gu Baijian asked what the relationship between Su Xinmo and Jiang Qiandu was.

You could hear a pin drop in the surrounding environment, and it felt like the air flow slowed down for a moment.

Gu Baijian was just about to find a topic to cover up the incident.

Then I heard Su Xinmu say, "He is a brother I have known for a long time."

Jiang Qiandu's eyes gradually became disturbed by this long-lost name.

Gu Baijian was puzzled, "Brother?"

"Yes, we have known each other since childhood, and I have always called him brother."

Although they had known each other since childhood, Jiang Qiandu was three years older than Su Xinmu. Whenever Su Xinmu grew up a little, he would go to a new place.

The two of them didn't have much contact when they grew up. In fact, Jiang Qiandu had already joined the army at that time, and he was always outside. Su Xin wanted to hear more about his deeds.

Later, when they got married, she never called him brother.

Gu Baijian understood completely that the two knew each other, but they must have not seen each other for many years, which was why they felt unfamiliar with each other.

Afterwards, Gu Baijian asked Su Xin again, but was interrupted by Jiang Qiandu in a cold voice, "You talk so much. Today we will train you to shout slogans."

Gu Baijian then shut up. His voice was hoarse from shouting slogans all the time.

Shouting slogans is not something you can do casually; you have to shout them with force and make them shake the earth and mountains.

The car drove into the village, and the children in the village saw the jeep and ran after it.

The aunts and uncles also drove cars that seemed magical to them.

Seeing Su Xinmao getting off the jeep, the children chased after her and asked her how she got back and where she had been.

The news that Su Xinmi had returned in a jeep spread throughout the mountain village.

After hearing this, Liu Xiaoxi subconsciously thought that Su Xinmu must be seducing people again, so her mother said that Su Xinmu looked like a vixen.

Liu Xiaoxi also thought so. She originally thought that Su Xinru would not be able to adapt to the living expenses in the country and would marry a village peasant.

Why doesn't she just marry a peasant? Su Xinmu looks like that, is there no one interested in her?

Su Xinmo packed up the things she had bought and told the village chief that she would hold a banquet tomorrow.

When Ji Wei came back, he called Su Xinmi happily, "Su Xinmi, buy the things. I'll give you the money."

Su Xin rolled her eyes at him. She had deliberately bought a lot today. Since Ji Wei and she were practicing together, they would definitely have to have a banquet together, given Ji Wei's cooking skills.

Ji Wei had approached her before and said that they could do it together and he would pay for it all.

Although Su Xinmu has plenty of money, he won't work for others for free, which is just right.

Su Xinmi went to take a look at the newly built house, picked out a pot that was suitable for this era from the space and placed it on the stove.

Although the house was still very simple, Su Xinmi felt it was much better than the Youth Home, and she could just add furniture to it slowly.

Su Xinmu discovered that the village chief had specially built a brick bed for them, but Su Xinmu had forgotten about it. Fortunately, he told the village chief that if there were any shortcomings, he could decide on his own to modify it.

If we didn't have a kang here in winter, I'd probably freeze to death and no one would know.

Su Xinmi bought some furniture casually. If anyone asked, she would just say that she bought them today.

Su Xinmi went back happily and could pack her things and prepare for moving tonight.

The next day, Su Xinmi got up early, took out the vegetables and meat she bought yesterday, and prepared to wash them.

Ji Wei didn't go to work today either, but it made no difference whether he went to work or not.

Otherwise, the ladies would talk about him wherever he went, and some even reported him, saying that he was not active in his work and was cunning and dishonest. But after so long, no one knew who reported him.

People from the commune came to check and found that Ji Wei was indeed unable to do much work, but he did it anyway.

The matter was left unresolved. I heard it was because of Ji Wei.

Ji Wei also took a day off today. Seeing Su Xinmo busying herself, he scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed. "Su Xinmo, if you need any help, just let me know."

Su Xinmu didn't bother to be polite with him. She was really too busy today as there were two tables of people.

"Move the big table from the Youth Farm and wash it."

Su Xinmi bought a chicken yesterday and is still tying it up, boiling water, plucking the feathers, and cutting the meat.

Ji Wei was stunned. Su Xinmu looked so weak, yet she dared to kill a chicken.

Ji Wei subconsciously took a few steps back, thinking to himself that he should not provoke Su Xinmo casually in the future.

"Why are you standing there? I'm almost too busy. Help me wash the vegetables."

Su Xinmi went to open the pot again to see how the pig's trotters were being stewed.

Su Xinmi's cooking smelled delicious, and soon a fragrance wafted out from the Youth League compound.

People working nearby could not help but swallow their saliva when they smelled it. "I heard that Su Zhiqing and his friends are having a banquet today."

"Yes, it smells really good. I didn't expect Su Zhiqing's cooking to smell so good."

They automatically ignored Ji Wei. Now Ji Wei was on the blacklist of the aunties, and they kept a close eye on their girls to make sure they didn't fall for him.

I even use him as a negative example for the children at home.

Su Xinmi cooked a lot of dishes today, including fried pork slices, fried meatballs, fried crispy pork, cold chicken, sweet braised pork, steamed spare ribs, eight-treasure rice pudding, braised chicken, braised pig's trotters, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and fish-flavored eggplant.

The village chief came with his people and set up tables and benches. I smelled a fragrant smell and saw that this man was really willing to give.

There was plenty of meat and quite a few types. It all looked delicious, but I had no idea how much oil was used.

After all, who would dare to use so much oil when cooking nowadays? You would be scolded by your wife as a spendthrift.

Everyone thanked Su Xinwei, and Su Xinwei said that it was all Ji Weihua's money, but in fact both of them paid half.

Ji Wei spent time on repairing the house, and she spent time on cooking, so this is still a win-win cooperation.

Some men, looking at the table full of delicious food, think of their own children; some men who love their wives and are filial think of their own parents and want them to have a taste of the food.

But they couldn't bring themselves to say that. It was already a big gesture by having a banquet, and it showed such great sincerity.

Su Xin looked at everyone and saw that they were all seated. "Dear uncles and grandpas, enjoy your meal. I forgot that there was wine here."

Su Xinmo took out cigarettes and alcohol again, and everyone's eyes lit up when they saw Maotai.

Ji Wei was also very active today, helping to serve the dishes, carry the bowls, and place the chopsticks.

It was very lively here for a while. The table was full of big bosses. Su Xinmo was afraid that there would not be enough seats, so she left some seats in the kitchen. Seeing that Ji Wei had already sat down to eat, she went back to the kitchen.

As Liu Xiaoxi worked in the fields, she became more and more irritated and wondered what Su Xinmo was doing.

Then on her way back, she heard that Su Xinmo had finished repairing the house today and was preparing a wedding banquet.

Liu Xiaoxi grabbed her aunt's hand and asked, "What did Su Xin do?"

The aunt looked at Liu Xiaoxi's dirty appearance and said with some disgust, "Who are you?"

Suddenly I remembered something, "You are the educated youth who is temporarily living in Aunt Shen's house, right?"
