Dream back to the beginning, you are fine

Chapter 439 Birthday Banquet

In the morning, when the sun was still rising, He Liping appeared.Coincidentally, when he saw the gifts prepared by He Xiaotong and Xu Changqing, he also said something.

"Blindly fastidious."

He also received He Xiaotong's scolding for treating people without discrimination.He Liping's speechless appearance made Shen Weimin beside him laugh out loud.

While joking, a group of five people carried a bag while the sun was still not too hot, and left the courtyard with a bag to take a bus to the compound.

When they arrived, Uncle He and his wife hadn't left work yet, and Aunt Li, a housekeeping staff who arranged logistics at home, was busy in the kitchen taking care of the ingredients.

There are dried sea cucumbers soaking, fungus and shiitake mushrooms soaking, and a kitchen knife being used by Aunt Li to cut vegetables on the chopping board.

With this professional housekeeper preparing lunch, Xu Changqing didn't want to intervene, but Shen Weimin planned to show off his cooking skills to honor his uncle without saying anything.

In the kitchen, Aunt Li and Shen Weimin stewed, simmered, roasted, and steamed all the dishes. After this busy work, it was not until after get off work in the afternoon that they prepared a table of meals.

Considering that his uncle has been away from home for many years before preparing, he must be thinking about his hometown, so the dinner table is almost full of hometown-style dishes.

Among them are meat wrapped in hard vegetables, stewed beans with ribs, sea cucumber with green onion, pork head with cucumber, and a must-have sauced elbow at their birthday party in their hometown.

Shen Weimin didn't plan to use the catfish in the bucket to stew eggplant anymore. Stewed eggplant with catfish would suit his uncle's appetite, but that saying doesn't sound good.

That common saying is "Catfish stewed with eggplant, it will kill the old man." Fortunately, this catfish was directly made into a pickled fish by Aunt Li.

Of course, the finale was a bowl of longevity noodles. In order to prevent his uncle from being disgusted with spending money, Shen Weimin also carefully mixed a lot of mixed noodles into the white noodles.

As for those big dishes, his uncle can't blame him.Except for the fresh meat and the catfish, the other ingredients were sent from my hometown, so it was not considered extravagant and wasteful.

Why don't you eat and keep it for your birthday? If you want to help others, you have to take care of yourself first. How can you distribute the things you can receive from your brothers and sisters.

It's like cooking oil, good guy, it's only been a few days, he just went to the sea market and came back, and today I heard from Aunt Li that there is only less than half a catty of oil left at home.

Obviously, on the day the four of them boarded the train to Haishi, not only did he prepare two catties of soybean oil privately in the name of his parents, but even the old uncle and third aunt each prepared a catty and stuffed it into a package for acquaintances to take with them on the train. Come over, the result is good, and there is only less than half a catty of cooking oil left.

Not to mention.

His uncle is such a person, and even his aunt has been influenced.To put it bluntly, the other uncles and aunts must have a lot of money in their hands, but the couple?
Absolutely not!
Yes, I also have the salary I just received this month.In his aunt's words, why do you need so much money, anyway, the son has enough money to marry a wife.

The so-called having money refers to the family rules established by the grandfather and second grandfather of the old He family, and the red envelopes that the descendants received when they found someone to get married.

Under such circumstances, why his eldest cousin has the courtyard house they lived in these days is because the parents have long stated that they will not accept money from their children and do not give bride price.

Then his eldest cousin got mad, and learned that his parents would pay for school expenses, so he added up all the lucky money he had saved over the years and the red envelopes he received from his engagement to buy the yard.

Later, the eldest cousin lamented that it was fortunate that there was such a family rule, otherwise, as the eldest brother, he would definitely have a headache to death watching the nephews of the younger brother's family get married one after another.

Indeed, nowadays it is very common for people to find a partner to give a bride price of dozens of yuan, but when the nephew grows up, it will be a big deal, and how can he get it for another 20 yuan.

Speaking from the outside, it's like—oh, hey, the eldest son of the old man has another star on his shoulder. This time, he is an uncle and has wrapped so many red envelopes for your son.

If there is no such courtyard house and then rented out later, the big cousin would cry just for the red envelopes given to the nephews under the old He family to marry their wives, let alone help anyone in an emergency.

In my impression, when Brother Ping got married, he seemed to have bought a women's bicycle for his partner.For this matter, his uncle also criticized young people for not understanding hardship and simplicity.

Anyway, his uncle is such a person.But it is such an uncle, his integrity throughout his life is enough to make his nephew feel proud for two generations.

"Uncle, let me offer you another toast. I wish you success in everything and a long life. Don't worry, with just this beer, I can't get drunk after two more glasses. I know it in my heart."

Uncle He picked up the bowl.

"Daughter-in-law, you also came to toast our uncle and aunt. My uncle and my aunt are different from other people's. Let's toast them."

Xu Changqing picked up the bowl and stood up.

"Uncle, aunt, I know you have always regarded me as your son, no different from Brother Heping and the others. If you are grateful, I will not say anything about my incompetent nephew."

Uncle He shook his head. He picked up the bowl of beer from his niece again, and turned to look at his wife next to him, "Drink, my son, thank you for coming."

Aunt He smiled and nodded.

"Auntie, I would like to respect you and my uncle too. I would like to borrow a word from Xiaosan, and I don't say any words of thanks. I wish you and my uncle good health and a long life."

She just put down the bowl and hasn't eaten two bites of food, here she is.Aunt He laughed happily, this time she picked up the bowl and turned to look at her husband beside her, "I have to drink."

Uncle He was very supportive of his daughter-in-law, seeing his niece and son-in-law ready to move, he picked up the bowl with a smile in his eyes and was bored with one bite.

"Slow down, sister, let uncle and aunt eat some food before drinking. Brother-in-law, Brother Heping and I will toast you first, and we won't talk about any politeness. Let's be bored."

Shouldn't you ask your little daughter-in-law to toast first?He Liping glanced at his cousin who was being honest again, but he quickly picked up the bowl in his hand.

"Dry!"

Seeing this, He Jianmin quickly finished the beer in the bowl.

Before he could speak, He Xiaotong beside him quickly poured beer into the bowl he had just put down, and without a word, raised his own bowl to face Uncle He and the others.

"Uncle, for this bowl, my wife and I will also respect you and auntie. I wish you success in your future work and everything goes well. You can do whatever you want, and I will do it first as a respect."

Uncle He was almost drunk tonight by his good nephew and niece, you and I toasted each other, and his son Xiong was "toasted" by him.

Aunt He couldn't laugh or cry and thumped the nephew who took the lead in the fuss: You silly boy, if you let your uncle drink it down, will your little wife and brother-in-law laugh at you?
