90s Little Struggle

Chapter 156
Xu Xiushan is quite a figure in the town.

Now that my son is admitted to university, of course we have to celebrate.

He wanted to invite too many people, so he simply invited two chefs, and then let the kitchen staff in the factory help them, and seated twenty tables.

Zhao Laosi's shop was closed for two days, and now he was reluctant to close the shop again, so he brought the Xiao sisters to dinner.

Earlier, Xu Xiushan gave each of their sisters 66 yuan in red envelopes, implying success.

After discussing with Wu Julan, Zhao Laosi also gave Xu Xinning a red envelope of 88 yuan.

It's not that they pack a little less on purpose, but that they pack more than them, as if they have more money than the Xu family.

In addition, it seems too raw.

I made up my mind that I could give them more chickens and ducks in the future.

Xu Xinning led the father and daughter three to the empty table and sat down: "Uncle, eat and drink well."

Xiao Hong was very satisfied with the seat. There was a ceiling fan above her head, a wall fan opposite her, and there was a big ice cube under the table that was steaming.

Even in summer, it is not too hot to sweat.

The people sitting in this room were all from the town, and some people knew Mr. Zhao. Everyone poured beer, ate peanuts and melon seeds, and soon chatted about everything.

Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang just drank soda and listened to their chat.

Soon someone was carrying a tray of food.

At the banquet here, four cold dishes are served first, then eight hot dishes are served, and tofu ball soup is served at the end.

Plum fruit steamed buns are served on the basis of ten per table. Even if you don't eat them, you can take them home.

Today's food is also very rich, not only prawns, but also local chicken stew.

It is rare to see prawns here. Although they are only simple brine shrimps, the prawns are tender and delicious.

The chicken pot should be simmered over low heat. The chicken soup is covered with oil stars that only chicken can have. It smells fragrant and tastes better when eaten.

There is also white cut meat that looks simple, but it has a special fragrance when it is hot.

Stir-fried eel with bacon is also delicious.

Steamed buns with warm meat are a must, the meat is fat and thin, sandwiched in the steamed buns, it is delicious and tempting to bite down.

During the period, Xu Xiushan and his wife were still holding wine glasses, toasting at every table.

Later, Yan Hong also came over to say hello to them. The family was having dinner in another room. It was not good for him to stay here for too long under the watchful eyes of everyone. He just talked with Xiao Hong after the banquet in a low voice.

Both Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang were full of food. Seeing that their stepfather was still drinking and chatting excitedly with them, the sisters talked to him and decided to go home first.

When they got home, they found that all the lunch guests had left, but the dishes and chopsticks hadn't been cleaned up yet, and Grandma Zhao and the others hadn't had dinner yet.

Xiao Fang urged them to go to lunch, and she and her sister cleaned up the dishes and answered their questions.

Grandma Zhao asked curiously while eating: "How many tables did the Xu family host today?"

Xiao Fang wiped the table with a rag and said without raising his head, "It is said to be twenty tables."

Zhao Feifei is more concerned about what good dishes are on the table.

Zhao Yanyan regretted that her father didn't take her there, and missed such a sumptuous banquet.

Wu Julan listened to their conversation with a smile, and finally said flatteringly: "Grandma, when you celebrate your birthday next year, we will definitely make a lot of money."

Grandma Zhao is one year older than Grandpa Zhao, and she will be 70 years old next year. Hearing this, she beamed and said, "You are all filial, if you can live a good life now, we are already content."

Of course, she still wanted to live next year with the old man in the new house built by her youngest son, with bright and clean windows, that would be a blessing.

Wu Julan smiled at Zhao Feifei again: "You don't have to be envious, when you get married, the banquet will definitely be very rich."

Earlier, her sister-in-law's family had introduced her to someone who worked in the post office. They had also visited Zhao Feifei a few times and asked her out to watch a movie.

Zhao Feifei was a little shy: "I'm still young, Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang are both older than me, they must be the ones to get married first."

After finishing speaking, I felt a little lost in my heart.

They have all been admitted to college, and they will be urbanites in the future. If they live in the town, it will be a different life.

She regretted that she didn't go to school well at the beginning, and even if she regretted it now, it was too late.

Seeing that Feifei blushed, Zhao Yanyan yelled loudly: "Sister Feifei, you must invite me to the wedding too?"

Xiao Hong was the first to speak: "Yanyan, when you are admitted to university, we will go to the restaurant to eat, it will be very rich."

"What are you eating?" Yan Hong came in with something in both hands, and when he heard Xiao Hong's words, he asked in surprise, "Aren't you full yet?"

They also rushed over early in the morning after buying shrimp and eels, and finally caught up with lunch.

Yan Hong had to talk to relatives from his grandpa and grandma's side before, and he really couldn't leave. When the banquet was almost over, he came out to look for them, only to find that they had gone home.

Yan Hong also knew that his aunt specially prepared some more dishes today, so he asked his aunt to tell his colleague that he asked him to bring some dried bamboo shoots and fish back home, and he wanted to go to Wu Julan to help collect them. Go with plum fruit.

Even though Liu Hui doesn't like the Zhao family in her heart, she is still generous to these contacts.

Besides, it was Yan Hong who spoke again, so of course he was more generous and asked him to fill a large pot of steamed meat, and then filled it with some steamed buns and plum fruits.

And Yan Hong had privately left a few catties of prawns in a plastic bucket before, which was specially reserved for Xiao Hong.

But he definitely couldn't tell the truth: "My aunt gave you so much lo mei last time, my mother asked me to thank you, and specially asked me to bring you some food."

He brought out a big pot of warm meat again, and said enthusiastically, "It happens that you are still having lunch, and you can add another dish."

This was also his trick, he wanted Xiao Hong and the others to think that his mother liked them very much.

I looked at the prawns in the plastic bucket again, and felt a little regretful: "Unfortunately, these prawns seem to be almost dead. They were all alive when I bought them in the morning. If you don't mind, just pack them up and put them in the freezer. They should be eaten at night." It doesn't matter."

He came to the door with his things so sincerely, and Wu Julan was too embarrassed to refuse, so she could only praise him for being so considerate and let him come to have lunch tomorrow.

Yan Hong was a little regretful: "I'm particularly concerned about my aunt's craftsmanship. Unfortunately, my parents are busy, so we have to go back in the afternoon."

Looking at Xiao Hong again, he asked, "Do you want to go to the provincial capital for a few days? My sister has been thinking about you and your cousin too?"

Xiao Hong was moved when he heard it: "Can you still fit in the car?"

It just so happened that she wanted to go to the provincial capital. It would be a waste of time to change a few times by car. It would be great if she could take a ride.

"There are only four of us, plus you are exactly five, it won't be crowded at all." Yan Hong just wanted to take her away, so he couldn't wait to come to her.

"No, why are you going to the provincial capital?" Wu Julan was a little confused when she heard the words, not understanding that Xiao Hong decided to go to the provincial capital in just such a short time.
