Ye Zhiqiu had no idea that the people in the living room were whispering about him. He was cooking seriously at the moment.
In fact, he discovered it after they met, and he didn't dislike him that much, so it seemed there was no need to scare himself.
So at this moment he was concentrating on cooking, without any anxiety at all.
It's not his fault. From the title of "Master Uncle" and the fact that Feng Xiaomei calls him "Uncle", you can tell how close the relationship between the two families is.
So we really need to take it seriously. After all, the most important thing is to marry Feng Xiaomei home peacefully.
After he finished cooking, he went to the living room and asked with a smile: "Mom, uncle, the food is ready, let's eat and chat at the same time."
Li Jianguo nodded and said, "Let's have dinner. Xiaoye will have a drink with us later. Is that okay?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I can drink. I can drink quite well."
Feng Xiaomei covered her mouth and laughed secretly. His alcohol tolerance was not just good, it was outrageous!
Feng Xiaomei went to put the dishes and cups in place, then opened the wine and poured them, while Chen Yuqing and Ye Zhiqiu brought out the dishes.
Soon the table was filled with dishes. Li Jianguo said unhappily, "This is too extravagant. There are only a few of us. How much money would it cost to prepare such a delicious meal?"
Chen Zilong also said to Ye Zhiqiu: "Xiao Ye, you will have a lot of expenses in your future life, how can you spend money like this!"
Ye Zhiqiu quickly explained, "Uncle, Uncle Chen, please don't misunderstand me. I'm the transport captain of the brewery and I travel frequently. Some things are expensive here, but they're not that expensive outside. Also, before I joined the army, I worked as a buyer, so I knew a lot of people. The ingredients for this meal aren't as expensive as you think."
Qin Xue also blamed him, "You can't waste it like this! This amount of food and meat is enough for several tables of banquets."
Chen Yuqing quickly stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, everyone, stop talking about him. This kid is sincere, isn't he just trying to satisfy you? And what's the big deal about having too much food? Just bring some back later. I originally asked you to bring the children here, but you didn't listen.
Come on, uncle, you should drink the first glass of wine. Although our two families are not related by blood, it is better than this. As the child's elder, you should drink the first glass of wine."
Ye Zhiqiu forced a smile, a bit embarrassed. This time he had done something that backfired. He was so focused on showing off that he forgot about the current material difficulties. This sumptuous meal seemed excessive.
They are not like Chen Yuqing and her daughter. They know that they can get supplies, so they are not surprised by what he does.
Fortunately, after Chen Yuqing finished speaking, Li Jianguo's angry face eased and he picked up his wine glass and stood up.
"This first glass of wine should have been brought by you, sister-in-law, but as the eldest uncle, I have the right to do it! Although I am heartbroken that Yuanzheng is lazy, for those of us who are not lazy, life must go on.
I have watched Xiaomei grow up since she was born, and I can see all the changes in her. Xiaoye, you have made an indispensable contribution to her recovery.
So I hope that after you get married next year, you will be tolerant of each other. Don't argue or even hit anyone if you're unhappy with something! Always think about the other person and, regardless of who's right or wrong, convince them with reason!
Okay, I've said a lot, I wish you all good luck in work, academic success, and good health in the new year. Let's have a drink together!"
After drinking a glass of wine together, Ye Zhiqiu was very emotional. Even Li Jianguo's toasts were full of advice to the two of them. They really have a very good relationship.
The dishes cooked today were all Ye Zhiqiu's specialties, and they were indeed praised by everyone, so he felt relieved.
After all, this time it was indeed a bit exaggerated. Not only was the quantity of food large, but there were so many dishes.
According to Li Jianguo, it would take a lot of families to prepare such dishes for their New Year's Eve dinner.
Although he didn't talk about it anymore, he still taught Ye Zhiqiu a lesson. Leaders should be frugal, and the whole country is advocating thrift! He can't just be extravagant and wasteful just because he has some ability to get extra ingredients.
Ye Zhiqiu naturally said that he would not do that again in the future. At least he would never cook such an exaggerated amount of food again.
People like them are very frugal. After all, whether it is setting an example themselves or the simple and frugal conditions of the unit, it is impossible for them to engage in extravagance and waste.
Ye Zhiqiu kept toasting everyone all night, letting everyone see how much he could drink!
The meal was quite harmonious, even though everyone kept asking about his situation, including his family, work, and future plans.
Ye Zhiqiu did not show any impatience and answered their questions truthfully.
When I heard him say that he would look at Feng Xiaomei's workplace and then decide whether to live in his own home or whether the couple would bring Chen Yuqing with them to live in their own home.
Chen Yuqing said to the two of them, "I don't think you need to consider me. Zhiqiu's mother and I have agreed that I will move there when the time comes. If it's convenient for you, you can live together in Sanlitun. If it's not convenient, you can apply for a house allocation. Anyway, we'll just see how it goes when the time comes."
Ye Zhiqiu asked worriedly, "Mom, isn't it too far from Sanlitun to get to your workplace?"
It’s not that he was worrying unnecessarily, but the distance from Sanlitun to Fengtai is nearly twenty kilometers!
Chen Yuqing explained with a smile, "Of course it's inconvenient, so I've already made arrangements to transfer my work back here. That way, when you have children in the future, I'll have the energy to help take care of them."
When Feng Xiaomei heard about the child, her face turned red, but Ye Zhiqiu smiled happily.
Of course he wanted children, and he wanted to have more children with Feng Xiaomei. After all, the children's parents had such good genes, so it would be appropriate to have more children!
Chen Zilong asked, "Sister-in-law, have you thought about going to any factory?"
Chen Yuqing nodded and replied, "I talked to my old boss, and he thinks the textile factory would be a good fit for me. I thought about it and I think it's a good fit, although the salary there isn't as good as the steel factory. But it only takes half an hour to ride my bike to and from get off work, so I don't have to rush for the bus all day."
"That's pretty good. My child has a job, so a lower salary won't affect him."
"Sister-in-law, this is a good idea. My daughter-in-law works in the textile industry. You can take care of the child in the future."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't interrupt. Nothing he said would matter. He knew the textile factory was a light industry, while the steel mill was a heavy industry. If he were to transfer there, not only would his salary be reduced, but his benefits would also be lowered!
But even so, she felt it was appropriate. I don’t know what Wang Xiaolan said to her that actually persuaded her.
Regardless of whether he understood it, it was probably the cause of this matter. He was quite happy about this, and was willing to work hard with Feng Xiaomei every day...
