"If there's no one, then there's no one. Why are you in such a hurry?" Nanqiao teased Taohua, "But that being said, if you think of someone suitable, you can ask me to help you find one."
"Of course. If I find a suitable one, I will be the first to bring it to my sister-in-law to see."
"Okay, okay, let's go downstairs. It's not good to stay in the house all the time." Nanqiao looked at the time. The two of them had been in the house for more than half an hour. If they didn't go downstairs, there would be gossip again.
"Yeah, okay," Taohua responded, holding Nanqiao's arm and going downstairs, chatting and laughing.
"Wash your hands and get ready to eat." Sheng Yanchuan looked at Nanqiao coming down and pulled her to the bathroom to wash her hands. Huiping, who came out of the kitchen with the food, looked at Sheng Yanjun sitting on the sofa like a big boss, and then looked at Sheng Yanchuan who only had Nanqiao in his eyes. The anger in her heart suddenly stuck in her chest and she felt very uncomfortable.
Feeling upset, Hui Ping did not hold back her words and immediately shouted at Sheng Yanjun, "It's time to eat, and you don't even help with the serving. You're just sitting there, waiting for someone to serve you?"
"Can't you please speak nicely?" Sheng Yanjun stood up, feeling puzzled by Hui Ping's sudden rebuke. Wasn't she always like this before? Why did she get so angry today?
"Can't you see it yourself? Even your parents are here, but you're just sitting there." Now the family's income comes from her, and she won't indulge Sheng Yanjun, so she immediately retorted.
Aunt Xiumei saw Nanqiao coming out of the bathroom and sat down on a chair, looking as if she had nothing to do with it. Sheng Yanchuan was also talking and laughing quietly around her. Even the two children were well-behaved and polite.
But when I look at the eldest family who lives with me, the couple quarrels all the time, and Yaya is always timid when doing anything. Xiaoguo is the opposite of Yaya, and is so naughty.
In comparison, Aunt Xiumei felt inexplicably angry, and her words were very harsh.
"There are so many people and they can't even carry a plate. Why are you yelling on New Year's Day?"
"Mom, that's a bit unfair. Sheng Yanjun is also a member of the family. If you just want someone to do the work, then does that mean anyone can just sit there and do it? Then just leave it alone. There will always be someone who can't stand it and will do it."
"What's wrong with you now? When people say one thing to you, you have a hundred things waiting for you. I still can't say anything to you now, right?" Aunt Xiumei put the plate in her hand on the table with a bang, her face was very gloomy. In the past few days, everyone in the family was more or less unhappy because of what she said about Nanqiao before. They thought that it was because of her that the family had conflicts, especially when the New Year was coming. Three out of five sentences said that she shouldn't have said those things. Yesterday, she bowed her head and persuaded Huiping to go to Nanqiao with kind words. She was already full of anger and had nowhere to vent it. Now she couldn't bear it at all.
The sudden noise frightened Yaya so much that she huddled in the corner of the kitchen, holding the plate and not daring to leave. Even Xiaoguo didn't dare to speak. As for the Nanqiao family, they were at peace and not affected at all.
"You can say it, what can't you say?" Hui Ping said halfway, secretly glanced at the Nanqiao family who were not affected at all, and sighed imperceptibly. After all, they are all here today, forget it...
But forget it... I can't eat the loss! Then he changed the subject and looked at Sheng Yanjun in a sarcastic tone and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, sit down. Your parents will take care of the food. You just wait and eat. If you can't, I'll feed you later."
After saying that, she put down the dish and turned to go to the kitchen. Nanqiao was amused by Huiping's words and lowered his head slightly to hide his smile. This Huiping is really a funny guy.
After hearing what Hui Ping said, Sheng Yanjun was even more angry and didn't know where to vent. He hesitated for a while and then got up and went to the kitchen.
Aunt Xiumei was still angry. Seeing a big man like Sheng Yanchuan hiding in the kitchen, looking left and right, not knowing what to do. The originally spacious kitchen became a little narrow, and he had to walk sideways. She suddenly became even angrier.
"Get out of here right now. You don't even know what you're going to do. Are you getting in the way by standing here?"
"One moment you ask me to help and the next moment you complain that I'm in the way. What do you want?" Sheng Yanjun was also helpless. It seemed that it didn't matter whether he worked or not. Besides, he wasn't the only one in the family who didn't work. Aren't Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao also sitting outside?
But he didn't dare to say this out loud. He knew in his heart during this period of time that it was agreed that their family would provide for their parents in their old age, and Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao were just guests. It was their freedom to help or not. If he said anything more, Huiping would have a lot to say to him.
I had no choice but to admit my defeat, wandering around the living room looking for something to do, or standing against the wall in a daze.
Taohua secretly curled her lips towards Nanqiao
The dishes were served one after another. After everyone sat down, they said Happy New Year and started eating.
"Qiaoqiao, how about you try it? These are the recent best sellers in my sister-in-law's store." Huiping was waiting expectantly for Nanqiao to give some comments after eating. During these days when she opened the store, she was also slowly thinking about it. There was a huge difference in food between the north and the south. She didn't understand this side, so she could only ask customers for their opinions all day long and then slowly make some adjustments to the taste. Over the past few months, everyone saw that Huiping was honest, had good cooking skills and was a person who listened to advice, so she accumulated a lot of regular customers.
But guests are guests after all. In Huiping's eyes, Nanqiao is the one with broad knowledge. She hopes to hear the words of recognition from Nanqiao.
Nanqiao smiled, picked up the dish in front of her, and put it into her mouth under Huiping's expectant gaze. The fresh and sweet taste of the vegetables filled her mouth. Huiping's cooking skills have improved a lot. The food in the north has a relatively strong taste. In the past, life was hard, and every household used less oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and the like. Nanqiao could barely adapt. In recent years, life has improved a lot. Nanqiao is more particular about food and drink. She usually focuses on health and wellness. Today, Huiping's meal is particularly to her liking.
