Chapter 177 Birthday Banquet (Part 2)



Li Yong, who was standing by, was surprised: "Han'er knows Shuangshuang's name?"

She remembered that when she came last time, Han'er was only nine months old and could only speak in reduplicated words. Logically, such a young child should have no memory, so how could he remember Shuangshuang's name?

Without waiting for Mrs. Qin to answer, Qin Qiu, who came from the kitchen to play with her cousin, explained: "We often mentioned Shuangshuang in front of Haner, so Haner can call out Shuangshuang's name!"

Qin Han gave her full marks for this explanation. She was worthy of being a member of the Qin family and her mind was quick.

Old Lady Qin also agreed: "Yes, these kids often mention Shuangshuang, it's hard for Han'er not to know her!"

After listening to the explanations of his niece and aunt, Li Yong did not have any doubts. He just couldn't help but touch Qin Han's head and said, "This kid is really smart. He can recognize the people mentioned in front of him without any introduction."

"Come, eat dates!" At this time, Xie Yuwei came over with the washed dates.

Looking at the big red dates, Zhou Danxiu was surprised: "Are these dates from the yard next door?"

"Yes, we can't finish eating the two or three hundred kilograms of dates from the two trees, so we put some in the cellar. If we don't eat them, they will rot. You should eat more!" Xie Yuwei explained with a smile.

They had eaten dates from their aunt's house last time, and they were extremely delicious. When they saw that some were still left, they all reached out to take some.

I didn't expect that after so long, it is still so juicy, crispy and sweet.

"These dates are so well preserved, they haven't gone bad at all. You are so capable, auntie!" Wei Dong praised while eating.

Old Mrs. Qin felt unworthy because she knew better than anyone where the dates came from, and she could only keep urging everyone to eat more.

In the yard, older children play with older children, and younger children play with younger children.

Qin Han was surrounded by Qin Qing, Wei Shuangshuang and Wei Congcong and couldn't get away at all.

Noticing the gold bracelet on Qin Han's hand, Zhou Danxiu couldn't help but remind her, "Little sister, be careful when you take Han'er out to visit relatives in the future. This gold bracelet is not cheap. Although we are from the same village, as the saying goes, you can't know a person's heart by his face. It won't be wrong to be careful."

Hearing his great aunt's words, Qin Han subconsciously looked down at the gold bracelet on his wrist, although he didn't like wearing this thing.

However, it is impossible to take anything from him.

After ten o'clock, villagers came to Lao Qin's house one after another.

They all moved tables and chairs over because there were so many people eating and Lao Qin's house didn't have enough tables and chairs.

So when you invite people to dinner, ask them to move their own tables and chairs over and use them for a while, and then move them back after the meal.

Naturally, the villagers would not refuse such a thing.

This time, when inviting the villagers to dinner, Old Lady Qin did not accept any gifts. She just wanted more people to celebrate her grandson's birthday. She was happy to spend more money as long as Han'er was happy.

Today we can have a free meal at Lao Qin's house, so Fu Qiumei brought her whole family, young and old, out with her. It would be a waste not to eat this free meal.

As soon as she arrived at Old Qin's house, she noticed the gold bracelet on Qin Han's hand. She didn't expect that Old Lady Qin would be so willing to spend so much to celebrate her grandson's birthday.

Not only did he treat all the villagers to a free meal, he also gave his grandson a pair of gold bracelets.

This gold bracelet is obviously solid. I’m afraid it must have cost a lot of money, right?

She put away her greedy expression and gave Old Lady Qin false congratulations.

Originally, Old Lady Qin didn't want to invite anyone from Old Li's family. After all, they had a feud, and it was no longer a secret in the village.

But during this period, Captain Liu visited every household and gave them ideological lessons, telling them that the villagers should unite and help each other, and that everyone should work hard to make life in Zaojiazhuang better and better.

She didn't want Captain Liu to think she was being disloyal, so she invited Fu Qiumei's family as well.

It’s just the cost of a meal, she can afford it.

But Fu Qiumei's family really didn't treat themselves as outsiders. They put the peanuts, melon seeds, candies, and dates on the table into their pockets one handful after another.

"Little sister, who is this? The way they eat is so ugly, isn't it?" Even Zhou Danxiu noticed Fu Qiumei's family.

The reason why Old Mrs. Qin didn't go to the kitchen to cook and left the work to her son and daughter-in-law was to be on guard against Fu Qiumei's family.

The way they prepare it, people who come later will have nothing to eat.

So she immediately stood up and walked over and put away everything on the table.

Fu Qiumei's hand just stretched out fell empty. She looked at Old Lady Qin in confusion: "Lahua, what are you doing? I haven't caught the melon seeds yet!"

"You didn't catch anything, but look at your pockets, they are bulging. I let everyone eat here, not let you come here to buy goods." Old Mrs. Qin said with a serious face.

Fu Qiumei was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she said confidently, "Today is your grandson's birthday. We are here to celebrate your grandson's birthday. Why are you so stingy when you eat peanuts and sunflower seeds?"

"Is this a question of being stingy? With you here, the food on my table is almost gone. What are you going to let the people behind eat?"

"Those who come later don't have to eat. It's their fault for coming late!" Fu Qiumei looked indifferent.

Zhou Xia, who was standing by, blushed: "Auntie Qin, don't be angry, my mother is just being honest and doesn't mean any harm!" Mrs. Qin had heard that Zhou Xia was pregnant again some time ago, and her eyes couldn't help but stop at Zhou Xia's belly: "Are you pregnant?"

Zhou Xia touched her belly and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's just been a month!"

Thinking about it, Daya ran away from home in October, and it is only mid-December now, which means Zhou Xia got pregnant just one month after Daya left. It seems that she is not a good person either.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say, "Are you really not going to have Daya anymore?"

Zhou Xia's face turned pale immediately. How could she not want her daughter? It was Daya who ran away on her own.

She also secretly went out to look for him, but didn't find him. Perhaps the relationship between them as mother and daughter had ended.

When talking about Daya, Mrs. Fu started to talk nonsense: "That devil is going to let our whole family burn to death, what's the point of having her? It's better for her to die outside!"

"No matter what, Daya is a child of your Li family. Wasn't it you who forced her to do such an extreme thing?" asked Old Lady Qin.

Fu Qiumei looked displeased: "What do you mean, did I put a knife to her neck and asked her to take her brother out in the middle of the night? Did I want to kill her brother?

I forced her to say that she had set fire to the whole family. If I had known she was an ungrateful person, I would have strangled her to death when I gave birth to her. "

When she said this, Mrs. Fu gritted her teeth.

Old Mrs. Qin just felt that Fu Qiumei was unreasonable and was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore.

Wait for her to have dinner, then send her away immediately, and stay away from Fu Qiumei's family no matter what.

The Zhou family looked weak and vulnerable, but in fact, the fact that she could marry into the Li family just proved the saying that people from the same family would marry alike.

She had to quickly remind her daughters-in-law not to contact Zhou Xia, so as to avoid leading them astray.
