The Qiao family set up two tables for the housewarming wine.
One of the sets of tables and chairs was borrowed from the Gao family.
The food and wine were also good, including fish, meat, tofu and eggs.
The old branch secretary brought his two grandsons, Qiao Jinyu also brought a child, Liu Haimao brought his youngest son, and Aunt Niu also brought a child. Without exception, all of them were boys.
Every family was in difficulty at that time. Although they were not starving, it was not easy to get some meat.
There aren't many gifts for family occasions in Gaoshi Village. Even the old secretary, who is relatively well-off, only gives 80 cents or a piece of paper.
For example, Aunt Niu is a sister of Yang Mei, the biological mother of Qiao Youfu brothers. She came to show her respect by presenting 20 eggs, which was already considered a generous gift.
The Gao family usually grows things produced locally, such as a pumpkin, a few eggplants, and a few vegetables.
So when everyone comes to sit down, the whole family will not come together, usually just one representative will be sent.
At the very least, there will be some meat at the banquet. Generally, the elders who come to sit at the table will bring a younger one they love, who will not take up seats but will stand by with their bowls, pick up some dishes and eat.
"Old Party Secretary, Uncle, please come in quickly~", Qiao Youcai smiled innocently and greeted the door.
Aunt Niu helped bring the dishes up, her voice as high as thunder, "Today's dish is cooked by Daya. I didn't expect Daya's cooking skills are so good that she can compete with the master chef."
Several children followed their elders obediently, staring at the table and swallowing their saliva.
Qiao Youfu brought out a bottle of locally produced Erguotou.
This wine costs 1.75 yuan a bottle. For farmers, this kind of bottled wine is very high-end and prestigious to entertain guests.
Sure enough, when the old branch secretary, Uncle Xiao and others saw the bottle of Erguotou, their eyes lit up.
The dishes were served and everyone took their seats. Qiao Jiangxin asked the children to take their bowls and line up to get their meals, while she held a bowl of food that she had reserved specially for her and prepared to serve it to Liu Xinyan.
Qiao Jinyu glanced around and asked Qiao Youcai, "Didn't he call your dad?"
In the minds of the older generation, no matter how much trouble there is, they are still a family, and the elders should be present at such important events as joining a family.
Before Qiao Youcai could say anything, Qiao Jiangxin took over the conversation, "Uncle, you still call me grandpa, shouldn't your own son take the initiative to join the gang?
Besides, we moved here from our hometown, don’t they know?
Since my grandpa didn't come, it means he didn't want to come. If he came to build our house, my grandparents would be unhappy. They didn't want to come to drink, but we insisted on conspicuous in front of them. Isn't that making everyone unhappy? ”
Aunt Niu picked up some food for her grandson while saying to Qiao Jin, "If you ask me, if you can't get along, then just stay away from each other. What's going on now, uncle? Do you still expect them to be kind to each other?
Didn’t you see that last time Lei Honghua buried something in someone else’s foundation? I really wanted to...tsk tsk tsk~”
Considering that today was a special day, Aunt Niu did not say all the unpleasant words, but everyone knew what she was going to say.
"If you ask me, now that they've separated, they can live their own lives. From now on, the old couple really can't move. You can just compare them with Jianhua and Jianguo and weigh some food every month.
Don't get involved with anything else. ”
Aunt Niu handed the bowl full of food to the child waiting behind her and continued, "They are still coming to invite us. I can guarantee that if the two Youfu brothers really invite us, that shrew Lei Honghua might get cocky again.
From now on, I will want to control you all, so I come here to be the boss.
Not to mention others, just look at those of us who are here today, who is the one who is blessed and wealthy to come here?
Isn’t it all because everyone came here on their own initiative? Outsiders all know about the warm-up, but the elders are like blind people. Why would they invite him?
Just for the dirty things that Lei Honghua did, she would have to be beaten to death if she got angry! ”
