Chapter 282 Liang Yongjie appears to be honest, but he actually knows everything
Zhou Caiju picked up some lotus roots with chopsticks and put them in the bowl, added seasoning and sesame oil, added ginger powder, stirred it with chopsticks, and then put it on a plate.
Liang Xiulan stood in front of the wok and served as the chef.
Zhou Caiju joked while doing odd jobs: "Lanlan is good now, she can do everything."
Liu Guizhi was proud of it: "That's right, from now on, when there are guests at home, she will be the one to cook, and I will just be a handyman, doing whatever I am asked to do."
Zhou Caiju: "Then you can enjoy yourself. You have two daughters and you don't have to do anything."
Liu Guizhi sighed: "You say it's easy, but I still did all the work I had to do. Isn't it me who takes care of Xiujuan's child?"
Zhou Caiju smacked her lips and said, "Just be content. You picked up a son for nothing. What's wrong with taking care of him? In the future, Da Biao will be filial to you!"
The two chatted happily and their relationship returned to what it was before, as if nothing had happened.
Whether it is just a casual act or a sincere one, you have to save face and not let your neighbors laugh at you.
And life has to move forward. We can't always hold on to the past, otherwise we will end up making things difficult for ourselves.
When the meal was almost ready, Liang Jianye and Liang Yongjie came with two jugs of wine.
Liang Jianguo had been sitting on the sofa looking around. When he saw his younger brother coming, he immediately smiled and stood up to go out to greet him.
"Here we are, Yongjie, Jianye, come inside quickly, it's cold outside."
Liang Yongjie walked in obediently and sat on the sofa properly.
Liang Jianye said, "I brought two bottles of wine when I came back. I heard it's good wine. I haven't tried it either. Let's have a couple of drinks later."
Liang Jianguo took the bottle, looked at it, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay! I haven't tasted this kind of wine either."
He put down the wine bottle, quickly poured tea for the two of them, and started to make small talk.
"What grade is Yongjie in?"
"Sophomore year."
"Huh! You're already a sophomore? Great! You're a good student, more promising than your sister, and better than Xiujuan. How are you doing in school?"
Liang Yongjie rubbed his legs and laughed awkwardly: "Not bad."
Liang Jianye handed a cigarette to Liang Jianguo: "Neither good nor bad, just hang on for one day at a time."
Liang Jianguo took the cigarette, lit it, took a puff and said, "It would be good if I could just get a diploma. It would be easier to find a job after graduation."
After taking two puffs and running out of topics to talk about, he asked Liang Yongjie again: "Do you smoke?"
Liang Yongjie smiled and waved his hand: "No."
Liang Jianguo squinted his eyes and smiled: "Okay, this thing is harmful to people, you are a good kid if you don't know how to do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jianye handed him a cigarette and he picked it up.
Liang Jianye teased: "You're still pretending in front of your uncle!"
Liang Yongjie covered his face and laughed.
Liang Jianguo: "That won't do. This thing is addictive." He said this while handing over the fire.
Liang Jianye exposed his past: "I've learned it for a year. If I hadn't smelled cigarettes on him these past few days, I wouldn't have known it."
Liang Jianguo: "Tsk! Then you can't smoke lazy cigarettes. You have to smoke good ones. Lazy cigarettes are bad for your health."
Three old men were smoking in the house, and three women were busy in the kitchen.
At twelve o'clock, the dishes were finally ready and they began to be carried into the living room.
"Yongjie, come and serve the dishes!" Zhou Caiju shouted.
Liang Yongjie quickly put out the cigarette in his hand and ran out to serve the dishes.
Liang Jianguo began to clear the table, and Liang Jianye saw that it was almost done, so he also went to serve the dishes.
Six people, six hot dishes, six cold dishes and a pot of egg soup, all placed on the table. Liang Jianye took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liang Xiulan.
"Here! Lanlan's New Year's money."
Liu Guizhi hurriedly stopped him: "What are you giving me? I'm almost 30, and you're still giving me New Year's money."
Zhou Caiju said, "As long as they're not married and they still have a child, Lanlan can take it."
There is give and take, and ten pieces of silver can settle all grudges. Liang Xiulan and Liu Guizhi both know this.
Since they were all sitting at the same table, Liang Xiulan put the past aside, smiled, and took the ten yuan.
Liang Jianguo poured Liang Jianye some wine and raised his eyebrows at Liang Yongjie: "Would you like some too?"
Liu Guizhi immediately rolled her eyes and said, "What are you talking about? He's still a student."
Liang Yongjie silently handed over the cup: "You can drink a little..."
Liu Guizhi was speechless and rolled her eyes at Zhou Caiju.
Zhou Caiju was also helpless: "He's eighteen or nineteen, and still in high school. The emperor is far away, and there's nothing I can do about him."
"During the past few days since I came back for vacation, I drank with his dad once, and went out to drink with friends two or three times."
Liu Guizhi sighed: "Alas... the child has grown up and has become independent."
After talking about Liang Yongjie, Zhou Caiju asked Liang Xiulan: "When does Xiulan plan to get married?"
Liang Xiulan said, "It hasn't been decided yet. Let's talk about it after the New Year."
"Oh, how much do you plan to give as a betrothal gift?"
"We haven't discussed it yet. Let's wait until the house is ready."
Liu Guizhi took over the conversation: "He can give as much as he wants. Our family doesn't need his 100 or 200 yuan. As long as the two children are well, that's all."
"I think Jinzhou is a good kid. Look, he even bought a pair of shoes for Jianguo before the New Year."
Upon hearing this, Liang Jianguo quickly cooperated by stretching out his feet to show off: "Look, I just put them on this morning, they're quite comfortable."
Zhou Caiju sighed: "Oh, that's great, he knows how to think about his elders, he is a filial child."
Liu Guizhi was proud of it: "That's right, that's why I like this child very much. Otherwise, with his mother's temper, I wouldn't agree to anything I say."
Zhou Caiju nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes... As long as they have a good relationship, it's fine. I also think Jinzhou is a good kid and will treat Lanlan well."
“Better than some people!”
As he spoke, he glanced at Liang Jianye.
Liu Guizhi glared at Liang Jianguo and said, "He's even better than some people's brothers!"
The two men instantly became the targets of attack, but they seemed invulnerable and kept clinking glasses and drinking, as if the conversation was not about them.
After dinner, Liu Guizhi and Zhou Caiju said they wanted to play mahjong. Liang Jianguo hurried out to play with others, so there was a shortage of one person and Liang Jianye had to sit.
But Liang Jianye said he didn't like playing mahjong, so he asked Liang Yongjie to do it for him, while he cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
After finishing the job, I came back and sat behind Liang Yongjie to give orders, but while I was giving orders, he disappeared.
There is no doubt that it is not that he does not like fighting, but that he does not like fighting with the women in his family.
Playing mahjong is a must-have entertainment activity during the Chinese New Year, and Jiang Jinzhou is also dominating the mahjong stall at this time.
The house of Yang Jinbao was filled with smoke and fire, and the air was filled with a fairy-like air.
Jiang Jinzhou had already quit smoking, but he couldn't resist his friends stuffing cigarettes into his mouth, and he already had three or four in his mouth.
He held the fortune in his hand and was reluctant to play it. He looked at the familiar cards in the pool. He played the last two, three, and four cakes one by one. The person behind him who was looking at the cards was scratching his head in anxiety.
"Why are you hitting a cake? What are you thinking?"
Jiang Jinzhou insisted on his decision: "I just like to take unconventional approaches, what do you care about me?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Jinbao played a "fa cai" (get rich) and said, "get rich!"
The previous player: "Bang!"
Jiang Jinzhou slammed the table and said, "You idiot! Put it down! I'll make a fortune hanging on my own!!!"
Jiang Jinzhou pushed the cards, and a group of people cheered and handed him a cigarette.
