Chapter 571 Dinner Party



The couple somehow managed to talk things out overnight, but it was a good thing for the whole family.

Hua Zhian, that brat, was actually watching the commotion from the sidelines. In Tian Guihua's opinion, he deserved to be taught a lesson.

With so many things to do before the New Year, why would I be afraid to have time to watch the excitement?

Poor Hua Zhian was once again being bossed around, and had no time to pay attention to the changes in his parents' relationship.

As soon as Hua Xiangyun entered the house, she immediately sensed that the atmosphere was different. She didn't ask any questions, but instead took Jiang Yi and joined in the busy work.

Seeing all this, Tian Guihua nodded secretly. Sure enough, among the children, Xiao Guai was the most composed.

Li Lijuan was also sent back home, and her parents were invited to a dinner party. Hua Zhiping was left to take care of all three children by himself.

Hua Guangzong picked up his teacup and headed outside. No one, young or old, was allowed to get involved in the affairs of the family, so he decided to go out and chat with everyone about gossip, and also invite a few old friends over for a meal.

This time, he was fully confident, with good wine and food to serve.

So no matter how little effort parents put in, they can still teach their children to be bad. What's wrong with their Dalan? She came back yesterday, and I went to sit with her for a while.

Who knew that everyone would come to our door this year, and we'd only say hello once? Who are we trying to avoid?

Hua Guangzong politely accepted the money, saying, "We've all been running down the mountain and swimming in the water. You can go back and get your tools. But do you have any bait? They need to provide some."

"Then let's urge them on," Hua Guangzong said. He had been on such bad terms with those old guys the past two days that he was reluctant to leave, but he also knew the principle of "familiarity breeds contempt."

Gu Liangye chuckled, "You might not think so. Before he left, you were the leader of the family. On which day did you reap the least rewards? Today, let's have a mischievous competition to see who is the ever-victorious general of our little courtyard?"

When Bai Ailian saw me carrying a whole set of tables away from Grandma Li's house next door, she quickly waved and said, "Zhi'an, you don't have a set there either. It's been cleaned up in the next few days, and he can just move it over to use."

When you haven't seen an old friend for a long time, your feelings will naturally cool down a bit. But if you spend more time together, you'll still have to argue and fight when necessary. That kind of distance is just right.

At that time, our family and the Hua family will be related by marriage. Those kids from before have become quite troublesome, so we need to lend them a hand.

Bai Ailian looked at Zhou Xiaolan with a smile, but in her heart she felt regret. Back then, Liu Tiezhu was really blind. If he had caused all this trouble, they might have actually formed a good relationship.

Outside the courtyard, everyone seemed to be living a bad life, except for our family, whose life was getting worse and worse.

I was originally planning to complain to that girl and ask her to reduce the amount of money she gives to her family outside the home.

You looked at Bai Ailian and asked, "The Hua family is very powerful, what are they doing?"

In the future, even if we catch less fish, we can still get some benefits.

Although everyone was clamoring to eat at the small house, they knew that the family hadn't prepared anything when they came back. So they each made an excuse to go back and take a look around, and came back carrying a small half-basket of vegetables.

"No need to thank me, we're neighbors. If you need anything, just let me know. As long as you don't have it, he can't borrow it."

When I left, I gave all the earthworms I was raising outside my house to my old neighbors. I don't think any of them succeeded in raising them.

Since the old lady had spoken, Zhou Xiaolan naturally agreed, "Oh dear, Grandma Bai, come and help me move it as soon as you arrive, thank him."

Logically speaking, you should have come to deliver New Year's greetings to your own family at that time, but you only went to the He family's house.

During the Lunar New Year, people feel like they're about to run out of food. How are they supposed to get by?

Hua Guangzong, carrying his things, urged, "Take your time. We've already become quite unpopular over there. Besides, you haven't even visited that river for almost a year. Today, we need to show them that even though you've left, your achievements are still there."

"Slow down, the other dish for today depends on them. No matter how the harvest is, we have to go home when it's time to eat."

Bai Ailian sighed, "Anyway, once a man gets married, he's basically not a money-loser. If he can think about sending gifts back to his parents' home all year round, that's already pretty good."

"Since you're being so generous this time, we must eat our fill! And remember to bring out the good wine you brought from Beijing. If you can't drink, we'll drink a few more glasses for you."

The old men nearby laughed. Who cares who caught the bad fish? We're all going to miss out on the good food anyway.

"Speaking of which, we really envy you, old man. You found a good in-law. Look, they've even delivered New Year's meat to your door."

"Why didn't he go to get off work today? Is their factory closed for the holiday?" Although they lived in the same courtyard, Bai Ailian said that she could tell whether her nephew was home or not.

“You’ve really gotten a good deal. You’re going to eat and drink all that half a basket of vegetables and end up getting sick,” Tian Guihua said, shoving the food into Hua Guangzong’s arms. “We’ll go catch a few more fish later, so we can’t be short of a dish.”

What's going on with his family's large army? Did they fail their college entrance exams this year? If they really want me to do something, they should find me a job first. Staying home all the time is pointless.

Tian Guihua snorted, "It's mostly because of these earthworms. You should have your son dig them out right now. He has to be slow, we need to eat before dawn."

A group of people left, chatting and laughing. As for the quarrels that followed, who remembers them?

"We started our holiday yesterday," Hua Zhian said, carrying only a small amount of groceries, his expression showing no sign of disappointment.

Bai Zhaodi, we're busy cooking, but we hope those old folks will cause trouble over there and put all of Huaguang Sect's fishing gear at the door.

Bai Zhaodi, as the head chef today, had the children running around in circles, and Zhou Xiaolan was sent out to borrow a table again.

Bai Ailian said, "It's rare for me to come back, so I just wanted to catch up with you old folks and have a simple meal."

With a loving expression, Bai Ailian watched Zhou Xiaolan carry the stool away before shaking her head with a smile. But when she turned around, she saw Hua Zhian standing outside.

People who think they've done nothing wrong, even if their children are successful, they've forgotten about us old neighbors.

"There's probably nothing urgent," Hua Zhian said dryly, trying to sound nonchalant but unable to control his emotions.

Little did he know that as soon as he started this conversation, Liu Tiezhu and the other old guys stared at him and burst into laughter.

It is still related now, damaging relations with neighbors and outsiders, and the old relationship will definitely be used.

If they were related by marriage, Bai Ailian would have brought it up, since he was her grand-nephew, and people would always mention him when they talked about him.

We can set up a few tables today, which should be enough for both the house and the kitchen.

Upon hearing the name Gu Liangye, Gu Liangye's eyebrows immediately drooped. When we caught up with the He family yesterday, Gu Liangye had not yet left.
