After seeing Fu Chen off after dinner, Shen Qingli originally planned to urge Meng Xiao to rest, but unexpectedly, several chefs hired by the old man arrived, including the head chef.
Tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans were all borrowed and driven over by Uncle Meng. Meng Xiao naturally didn't get to rest and joined in the work.
Shen Qingli had never seen this before, and watched them curiously as they set up the pots and stoves.
Meng Xiao felt sorry for her standing by and was afraid that his wife would be tired of standing, so he took the time to move a stool over for her so that she could sit and watch.
The meat had been arranged with the meat processing plant long ago, and the vegetables had also been arranged in advance through connections. All the necessary ingredients were delivered in the dark of the early morning.
There were plenty of vegetables, fruits and meat, and the old man took care of everything, so they didn't need to ask for help or ask questions.
Look, the old man went to inform relatives and friends early this morning and came back in the evening. When he came back, he brought plenty of candies in his car.
The old man was generous enough to buy White Rabbit candies, fruit candies, and some chocolates, all of the best quality. The wine he unloaded from the car was Maotai liquor, which was currently sold at the supply and marketing cooperative for eight yuan a bottle.
The configuration of this full moon banquet is comparable to that of the banquet on Meng Xiao and Shen Qingli’s wedding day.
Everyone in the compound knew about the Meng family's movements, and immediately several aunts, grandmas, and grandmothers who were more familiar with the family came enthusiastically to help.
"Auntie, this is Meng Xiao's wife. You haven't met her yet, right? Qingli, this is Grandma Du. She lives in the innermost house."
Ye Qiuxu came over, supporting a grandmother who looked to be in her sixties or seventies.
Shen Qingli hurriedly stood up and took the initiative to greet him:
"Hello, grandma."
Although she is cold and not good at speaking, she still knows the most basic courtesy.
"Oh! So beautiful! I've heard about her many times before. She's beautiful and capable, but I've never met her. Today I finally see her."
Grandma Du had watched Meng Xiao grow up, so what she said was not false or disingenuous.
"Thank you, grandma."
When elders praise you, you don’t need to say anything, just smile sweetly.
"This is Aunt Xiao, and this is Aunt Chen."
"Hello, Auntie Xiao, hello, Auntie Chen."
………
Later, Aunt Meng and Kexin also arrived. Everyone was laughing and busy at the same time.
Fortunately, the division of labor was clear, and the earthen stove was already lit, and everyone was busy. Shen Qingli felt that it would be bad to be idle, so he decided to simply cut some meat and wash some vegetables.
Maybe everyone knew that Shen Qingli had just come out of confinement, so they refused to let her do any work no matter what.
Aunt Meng took her directly into the house.
The child fell asleep, and she felt a little bored. Going back to her room to sleep? That didn't seem like a good idea.
Everyone is busy and there are outsiders helping out. How can I just go back to my room and sleep?
Meng Jianjun came back quite early today. After changing out of his military uniform, he first went to check on the two babies. Seeing that they were still asleep, he said a few words to Shen Qingli and then strode out to help them with the work.
Get the prep work done tonight so you don't have to rush tomorrow. Steam the buns, stew or deep-fry the meat and chicken, chop the vegetables, and wash all the dishes.
Everyone helped, and at dinner time they all wanted to go home, and it was impossible to stop them. Some of them even slipped away. In the end, Ye Qiu only caught two or three older people.
Two old grandfathers and one old grandmother are old and can’t run fast. They have no choice but to stay for dinner.
The chef prepared a large pot of stew for dinner. This large pot of stew is usually prepared early in the morning for friends and family who come to help at banquets in northern China. It uses pork belly, tofu, cabbage, vermicelli, and fried meatballs to make a steaming pot of stew.
The large bowl of rice is paired with a white and plump steamed bun, which is very fragrant.
Although this kind of home-cooked dish looks ordinary, it is the most appetizing.
Shen Qingli just felt his appetite was whetted. Although he was not very hungry, he still ate a full bowl.
The Meng family was stunned by what they saw, and Aunt Zhang felt a little guilty. Was it because the food she usually cooked was too bad and did not suit the young lady's appetite? Look at how hungry she was.
After dinner, there is basically nothing to do. Just clean up the battlefield and wait for tomorrow's banquet.
The old man got up early in the morning and went out. After dinner, he cleaned the yard with his family. He was a little tired now.
We were all very tired today, so we dispersed early and went back to our rooms to rest.
Uncle Meng's family also stayed tonight. Shen Qingli was dragged back to the house by Meng Xiao. Meng Kexin didn't find a chance to pester Shen Qingli. She missed her sister-in-law so much.
As soon as the two of them entered the house and closed the door, Meng Xiao turned around and hugged her, burying his head in her shoulder.
"Don't move. Let me rest for a while. I'm so sleepy and tired."
Shen Qingli didn't know how many days he hadn't rested, and he felt extremely distressed.
She reached out and hugged him back, and in the blink of an eye they were in space.
"Hmm?" Meng Xiao raised his head with some doubt.
"Take a hot bath, relax and have a good sleep."
Shen Qingli explained, turned around and handed him a glass of spiritual spring water before walking towards the bathroom. She wanted to fill the bathtub with hot water first.
After drinking a glass of water, Meng Xiao felt most of his fatigue was gone, and he followed Shen Qingli in.
"Meng Xiaoxiao, what scent of bath balls do you want?" Shen Qingli picked up two and asked him.
Meng Xiao was no longer tired and felt full of energy again.
"No."
"Um?"
"I want a light scent."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Shen Qingli's wrist and pushed her against the wall, lowering his head and grasping the corner of her lips...
It took a long time before Shen Qingli was released. Her watery eyes looked at him half-dazed and half-accusingly:
"Aren't you tired and sleepy?"
She saw that he was in high spirits, and something indescribable was poking her in the face at that moment.
"If you care for me, I won't be lacking."
Shen Qingli understood what he meant, but she also felt really sorry for him, so she didn't agree at the moment. She pushed him away and reached out to pull the door handle.
Meng Xiao hugged her from behind around the waist and lowered his head to the back of her neck.
The breath fell behind her ears, and Shen Qingli felt her legs go weak. If she hadn't relied on Meng Xiao, she would have almost fallen.
...A vague, slightly bent hand appeared on the unclear frosted door...
There was a sound of water, and then it seemed like someone was having a water fight.
Huh?
Why are some people crying and sobbing while playing a water fight?
oh!
Maybe I lost the water fight.
The little girl is the most delicate
Just a water fight can make her cry.
I seemed to hear someone whispering:
Making fun of her for still being so delicate
The crying little girl was a little dissatisfied
It's obviously the stubble that pricked my t-spot.
………
Perhaps they managed to appease the crying person, and the two of them started fighting happily again.
