Chapter 357 Can't hold back

After listening to Mrs. Song's explanation, Nanny Jin said with a cold face: "My old man and the two young masters have also endured hardships, and they are not the kind of people who forget their roots. Besides, our second room does not only have three masters, but also There is a large group of servants serving the master. We slaves and servants also have to eat? Today’s meal was prepared by the old man’s order, and everything can be on the menu of the restaurant. We dare not dislike it.”

Mrs. Song was choked and speechless, so she could only watch as the four of them asked Mrs. Xu for a basket, and returned to the main room with oil paper, bowls and plates.

Qi Yourong saw that the servants of the second room really came back, still holding oiled paper utensils in their hands, and actually wanted to take away the food on the table.

"Brother." Qi Yourong called out.

At this time, the people in the room were already sitting scattered on the stools or the edge of the kang in various places, or talking in a low voice, or kept silent, and the atmosphere was very depressed.

Qi Yougui heard Qi Yourong call him, and replied calmly: "I thought you knew earlier, so I didn't tell you. These meals and vegetables were sent from home by your second brother. I brought a lot of snacks and raw ingredients two days ago. Today I brought some dishes from his home. These belonged to your second brother."

Qi Younian pointed to the kang table behind him, "The happy lion's head, stewed lamb, stewed beef brisket, and old duck soup you ate just now were all brought by your second brother. There are also many other dishes that you have touched chopsticks. It's made with ingredients brought from your second brother's house. It's prepared by us here, and you don't eat much of the meals made by your sister-in-law and the children."

Qi Yourong rolled his eyes twice at Qi Yougui and Qi Younian, and asked in amazement: "Then, I haven't prepared anything at home, what should we eat when we go back?"

Hearing Qi Yourong's out-of-the-ordinary words, Qi Younian finally lost his patience. He sighed heavily, stood up from Qi Yougui's side, and said to Liu Nanny, "Liu Nanny, it's getting late, please hurry up to greet people." , it’s not too late for us to go home and prepare meals.”

Originally, he didn't take these meals seriously, no matter how good the food was, it was just to fill his stomach, and he didn't live by these meals.At this time, he also strongly agreed with his granddaughter's idea of ​​packing meals, and if he didn't leave any room for the third child, he would not take it for granted that he exploited his brothers.

Mrs. Wang, who was sitting next to a table, stood up, sneered, and told Mrs. Han, Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Li: "You guys also come together, and help the mothers pack and pack the meals. By the way, pack up our own vegetables, put them in the pot to warm up, and let's eat at home."

Song was anxious and kept winking at Qi Yourong.

Her family's New Year's plan has always been from the evening of the New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the new year. Except for the second day of the second day when she entertained her daughter who returned to her natal family, she would have lunch in the big room for the rest of the day. If you walk a little, you can gather some for yourself, which is enough for dinner at night.

Therefore, they didn't prepare a lot of meat and vegetable meals for the Chinese New Year. Even if they did, they would only use them after the fifth day of the lunar new year.At this time, there was really nothing in the house, and everything was frozen hard in the yard.

According to the habit of previous years, the New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at the elder brother's house, and then everyone would sit together to eat melon seeds and chat, until the time when the old and the new alternate, the elder brother's house would cook dumplings, and the two families would eat dumplings and watch the night together.

In previous years, the New Year's Eve dinner was nothing more than a chicken, a few miscellaneous fish, and two stir-fried vegetables and stews with little meat.The dumplings at midnight are full, and the dumpling wrappers are rolled very thin in order to use as little white flour as possible to wrap enough fillings. Of course, the fillings are a lot of vegetables, mixed with very little minced meat.

Although that kind of meal is not as rich as today's meal, it is enough for them to eat until noon on the first day of the new year, and then come for lunch.

At this time, I go home empty-handed. How can I live this year with cold pots and cold stoves.

Qi Yourong received Song's gaze, and stretched out his hand in the direction of Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but he didn't know what to say.

In the past years, his family would take some things from the eldest brother's house symbolically, even if it was not much, but no matter how little it was, it was still something, and it was not free.This year, the second room quickly became rich, and the eldest room followed the second room, but the third room was still living in poverty.

So, this year they didn't take a single grain of rice from Dafang.They are all so rich, why should they take things from his house?
But at this moment, he regretted it. If they still brought two pieces of sauerkraut and a bowl of noodles as in previous years, now his old lady could go up and share the things.Even if he didn't dare to touch the things of the second room, couldn't he share more of the meals at the elder brother's house?Although the meals prepared by the eldest brother this year are not as good as those of the second bedroom, they are also many times better than in previous years.
Seeing the hands stretched out into the air by more than a thousand people, Mrs. Wang accelerated the speed of putting them together, and pushed aside Mrs. Song who had come up to him: "Siblings are guests, so I dare not work my siblings."

Now there are more than [-] people in the main room, only the old couple Qi Yourong and Qi Liang are left in the third room.With Erfang's covetous servants, guards, and Qi Ye with unfriendly eyes here, Qi Yourong felt alone and alone like never before.

He looked at Qi Yougui pitifully and said, "Brother, I haven't prepared anything at home. If I go back now, I will have nothing to eat. Or, brother, ask sister-in-law to share some for us?"

Mrs. Wang replied in a bad tone, "What kind of year is it if you don't prepare things? If I wait and don't prepare anything, it's the New Year's Eve. Wouldn't the three families go hungry together?"

Qi Yourong and the old couple are self-cultivated and not as knowledgeable as Wang's, so they just pretended not to hear her speak, and silently looked at Qi Yougui with hopeful eyes.

Obviously, Qi Yougui's skills were not good enough, so he immediately fell into a disadvantage, and said to Wang: "Split the third child, our family's life will be better than him after all, we can't watch him go hungry during the New Year."

"Cough..." Ye Xinyan, who was watching the play, couldn't hold back and coughed.

Uncle... a good man, no wonder Qi Yourong's family can't get rid of it like tarsal maggots. It's strange that he can get rid of it like an old man.

　Thank you dear friends for your support and votes, I like you.
