Chapter 145 145 The dishes on the table are enough for a wedding banquet...
Pei Che's attempt to show positive spirit was strangled in the cradle by Peng Guihua herself.
If she made her new son-in-law wield a spatula in a smoky kitchen on his first day, she would never forgive herself.
Even though Pei Che's attitude was very sincere, Peng Guihua still firmly pressed him down on a chair in the main room, asking him to just drink tea and eat melon seeds and talk to other people in the family.
Pei Che just wanted to show off his housekeeping skills so that the two simple elders would feel at ease to marry Ding Guo to him.
But there is nothing I can do.
After the people working in the fields got off work, Ding Guo and Pei Che picked up their things and went to their second uncle's house.
Although everyone was working in the fields, there were still some sharp-eyed people who saw the car entering the village, a familiar car, a familiar route, and that enthusiastic neighbor ran to tell Huang Meihua.
In fact, Huang Meihua already knew the reason why Peng Guihua asked for leave, but what could she do? Ding Guo didn't say anything to her, so she just felt sour in her heart, thinking that this girl was too vindictive. She actually remembered some small things from her childhood so clearly.
Although she felt jealous, when she saw Ding Guo and Pei Che coming to her house, she couldn't take her eyes off Pei Che and smiled brightly.
Even the simple man Ding Zhige stared with his eyes wide open.
The person Ding Guo found looks really good.
There is no other guy in the whole team who is so handsome.
The body frame doesn't look very strong, which is a pity for such a tall person. But he is very straight and his posture is also good-looking.
Compared with the cleanliness and tidiness of the third aunt's house, the second aunt's house, which is not very particular about hygiene, is a bit untidy.
Pei Che did not show any disdain at all. He sat on the stool humbly and politely and greeted Ding Zhige and his wife.
Ding Guo said he wanted to invite them to his uncle's house for dinner.
Ding Zhige and Huang Meihua were naturally busy responding.
This is not ordinary. Ding Guo brought his girlfriend to the house. It is a serious matter. They are invited to the meal, so they have to eat.
Huang Meihua is not someone who is completely ignorant of the ways of the world, she is just a little calculating and likes to be stingy.
But thinking that my whole family was going to have dinner at the third brother's house today, I made up my mind to scoop two buckets of noodles and grab a few eggs to take with me.
Ding Guo took the opportunity to give the letter to his cousin.
Ding Zhige has limited literacy and cannot even recognize large characters, so his second cousin is now responsible for opening and reading the letters from home.
On the way, Huang Meihua began to ask Pei Che about his family situation. She did not beg for answers, but asked directly: "Xiao Pei, have you become a cadre in the army?"
Pei Che was of course embarrassed to say that he was a cadre, so he said very implicitly: "Whether we are cadres or not, we are all soldiers of the people."
Huang Meihua didn't hear the implicit meaning in Pei Che's words, and thought he was just an ordinary soldier. She said, "Work hard and strive to become an officer. The kid from Liu Laoqi's family in our village is also in the army. He was promoted to company commander last year, and his family was very happy."
Pei Che touched his nose embarrassedly.
Huang Meihua continued to chatter: "What does your family do? ...They are also soldiers. Oh, your parents are soldiers? They are still soldiers at this age. They must be high-ranking officials, right?"
Ding Zhaodi pulled the yellow plum blossom several times.
Ding Zhige also felt that this was outrageous and said, "Why are you asking so many questions?"
I just arrived at my third uncle’s house and could smell the delicious food before I even entered the door.
Huang Meihua walked in and looked at the sumptuous meal on the table. She didn't care whether Pei Che's parents were cadres or not. Her eyes were wide open.
The third brother’s family is really willing to do this!
A pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, a pot of meat stewed with beans, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried meat with cucumber, stir-fried meat with cauliflower, braised fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried meat with eggplant, stir-fried spinach, and a plate of fried toon.
The Chinese toon was collected in spring and pickled with coarse salt. Peng Guihua soaked it in water for a long time, washed it several times, coated it with batter and fried it in a plate.
There is also a bowl of loofah and egg soup.
There are ten dishes and one soup, only one vegetarian one, and few eggs. Most of the dishes are meat.
And soda.
Just looking at the yellow plum blossoms makes my heart ache.
Not to mention that he was just her niece's husband, even if it was her own son-in-law, she wouldn't be willing to prepare such a table.
Tell her that a stewed chicken should be the main dish, and two or three stir-fried dishes will be enough.
The dishes on the table are enough for a wedding banquet.
Even some people's wedding banquets at home are not as good as this.
Gao Pengyuan also came back, and together with Pei Che, they accompanied the two male elders from the two families to drink while the others ate.
The dishes cooked by Peng Guihua were all large in portion, so even though Huang Meihua and the others ate without even raising their heads, there was no embarrassing situation of empty plates.
After eating and drinking, Huang Meihua resisted the urge to loosen her belt, and then she pulled Peng Guihua to ask about Pei Che's details.
Peng Guihua didn't elaborate, mainly because she didn't particularly understand the position levels in the army. Anyway, she felt that the Pei family should have a complicated family background.
Since I can't figure it out myself, I can't explain it to Huang Meihua either.
Anyway, Huang Meihua's final conclusion is: Pei Che is a cadre in the army, his rank should not be high, I don't know if he is higher than the company commander; his parents are in the northwest, mainly engaged in research, and can be considered intellectuals.
"After getting married, you don't have to live with your parents-in-law. This is better than many other families." Huang Meihua, "The man Danier found is very good. Look at his face. I think he is more handsome than the men in the movies."
Peng Guihua smiled and said, "Xiao Pei is a good kid."
They still had to go to work in the afternoon, so after the second room finished their meal, they exchanged a few polite words with Pei Che and went back.
Gao Pengyuan had something else to do, so he drove away after dinner.
Pei Che did not show off his cooking skills. He refused to stay idle at home in the afternoon and accompanied his uncle and aunt to work. The work points were recorded at his uncle's house.
As a result, the entire Yang family knew that Ding Guo had brought a girlfriend home. This girlfriend looked like the person in the painting, and she worked skillfully and solidly.
Pei Che learned farm work in the army, and his proficiency was no worse than that of the villagers.
Ding Guo did not go to the fields. She cooked mung bean soup at home, adding rock sugar and a lot of well water to it.
After cooking and cooling, I carried it to the field easily.
On the other side, Huang Meihua had already listened to her second daughter finish reading the letter.
Ding Tao's letter was unusually long this time. She told her family about the man that Lu Xiaomei had introduced to her, and also said that it was Sister Ding Guo who had helped her find out about that man, otherwise she would have married him in the dark and her life would have been ruined.
In the letter, Ding Tao asked her parents to ask them to thank Ding Guo properly.
She also reported to her family that Ding Guo had not brought her partner to see her grandparents, and that she treated her uncle and aunt as her real parents, and told them not to say anything bad. She said that Ding Guo was very good to her and took good care of her, and told her parents not to offend her...
Then she talked about her brother-in-law wanting to introduce her to someone, and told her the conditions Ding Guo had explained to her. She said she agreed, but she had to get to know him first...
After reading the letter, Huang Meihua was furious. She pointed at Ding Zhige's nose and cursed: "The old saying is true. People of the same family are alike. Your brother and sister-in-law, that pair of dirty-hearted people, found such a mean daughter-in-law. You are a family of unscrupulous bastards. Aren't you afraid of retribution for giving birth to a dead child..."
"Daniel found a boyfriend and traveled so far back to show him to the third brother's family instead of your brother and sister-in-law. What bastards that family are. If I were Danier, I would stay away from them to avoid being implicated when that family gets their comeuppance..."
He scolded Ding Zhige for more than ten minutes without stopping.
Actually, what does this have to do with Ding Zhige?
But the couple has become accustomed to this pattern.
If Huang Meihua was upset by the first wife, she would scold Ding Zhige; if she was upset by the third wife, she would scold Ding Zhige. In short, as long as someone from the Ding family, even if they were from a side branch, upset her, she would scold Ding Zhige.
After venting their anger, the family did not delay going to work.
Looking at the handsome young man sweating profusely on the ground, Huang Meihua wanted to go over and ask about the person he was going to introduce to her daughter Taozi several times, but the team leader was watching her not far away, so she had to hold back and concentrate on bundling the harvested wheat.
When Ding Guo came to serve the mung bean soup, Huang Meihua was just straightening her back to take a break. When she saw Ding Guo, she walked over.
Although she didn't come here to drink the mung bean soup, she couldn't help swallowing when she looked at the mung bean soup in the bucket.
Water is essential for working in this weather, so her family also brought cans, but they had all the water in them. She was thinking of asking Zhaodi to go back and get some more.
"Daniel, I'm sorry to bother you with Taozi's matter. Jianguo's wife, that bitch..." Just as she was about to start scolding, Huang Meihua stopped talking angrily when she saw Pei Che coming over from the corner of her eye. She smiled warmly and said, "My nephew-in-law, you are too honest. Hurry up and drink some water and take a rest."
As he said this, he glanced at the mung bean soup in the bucket. It seemed that there was quite a lot, and the third brother's family probably couldn't finish it.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Ding Guo say, "Second Aunt, bring some utensils and drink the mung bean soup."
"Hey, I'll get it."
Huang Meihua brought over two cans with a smile on her face.
Uncle and aunt are already drinking here.
The mung bean soup was at just the right temperature and tasted sweet. Peng Guihua thought that sugar must have been added to the diced bean soup, but there was only the fruit candy bought for today's dinner party at home, and no white sugar.
Would this child go to the village supply and marketing cooperative to buy things?
In front of Pei Che, Peng Guihua didn't nag about this. She said to Pei Che, "Xiao Pei, stop working. Go home and rest with Guoguo."
Pei Che was thinking that his uncle and aunt's family had wasted at least half a day today, and would definitely be delayed for a day the day after tomorrow. He would earn as many work points as possible by helping them.
Besides, the intensity of this farm work is not as high as the intensity of his training in the army.
"It's okay, Third Aunt. It's not that tiring."
Pei Che insisted on staying with him until the end of the work.
Ding Guo was responsible for dinner.
We have meat and vegetables at home, nothing is missing, so preparing a few dishes is not a problem.
After dinner, Huang Meihua came over again.
Because her daughter Taozi asked her to thank Ding Guo, Huang Meihua went to the village supply and marketing cooperative to buy Ding Guo a pair of sandals and a can of hawthorn.
It wasn’t the canned yellow peaches that Ding Guo sent; she bought them on purpose.
Ding Guo was a little puzzled. Why did Second Aunt buy her sandals for no reason?
Huang Meihua talked about Lu Xiaomei introducing Ding Tao to a boyfriend and Ding Guo helping to investigate, and then she suddenly felt annoyed.
yes!
Next, she had to ask about finding a boyfriend for Taozi. This was something Pei Che had to worry about. Why didn't she think of buying a pair of sandals for her niece's husband?
She was a little annoyed for a moment, but she still went on to say it. She scolded Jianguo's wife to ease the embarrassment in her heart, and then turned to ask Pei Che what the person she wanted to introduce to her Taozi looked like.
It's rare to find someone as good-looking as my niece's husband, but at least he should have a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
