Candide in Chronology is on strike

Chapter 484: Can’t make it?

"It's already 11:40. If you want to go, hurry up. If you wait too long, you won't be able to make it in time for lunch." Father He glanced at the watch on his hand and said impatiently.

His outfit seemed incompatible with this poor family.

The Chinese tunic suit that is 80% to 90% new is worn on the body, with leather shoes on the feet, a watch on the hand, and a pair of eyes on the face. The whole person looks like a gentle scholar.

But in fact, he is just an ordinary worker.

"I know, haven't I cleaned up yet?"

"I'm getting tired of asking you to wait for this long. Can you be a little patient with me?" He's mother stood in front of the mirror unskilledly and wrapped a scarf around her neck.

But no matter how I fiddled with it, something didn't feel right.

The pink scarf didn't match her navy blue cotton coat, making her skin color darker.

Under the pink light, it seems that all the flaws have become conspicuous.

This scarf is a favorite of He's mother and is not worn unless it is an important occasion.

"With your frizzy look, you can't keep up with the heat even when you eat shit." Grandma He said impatiently.

She has never been very fond of her daughter-in-law. This time, she even delayed her to go to dinner. She couldn't bear it. She said a few words to her, which was just a basic operation.

This is the first time that her eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law have officially invited the whole family over for dinner. If nothing else, the food must be decent and there must be some meat.

If you don't be active now, can you catch up with the meal later?

Mother He rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything. Her man was a very traditional man, and he treated me much better than his wife.

After all, my wife can be replaced, but I’m the only one.

If she had a dispute with the old lady, she would definitely suffer.

Now that she has tempered herself, the old woman can tell her the truth, but it is not up to her to decide whether to listen or not.

After finally waiting for He's mother to pack up, the family set off.

By the time they were standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus, it was already twelve o'clock. At this time, the smell of rice was already coming from other people's homes, and many people had already started eating.

Tang Ying and He Yuan got up early in the morning and were busy working. Their stomachs were already hungry and growling fiercely.

Thinking of the fact that the He family hadn't come yet, Tang Ying directly brought out the things she was going to use to entertain the He family for tea: "Eat quickly, eat peanuts and biscuits first to cushion your stomach."

After eating two peanuts, she couldn't sit still anymore. She distributed the things on the plate to several other people, not forgetting to put a handful in her pocket. Then, holding the empty plate, she returned angrily. The room was left alone.

At this time, He Yuan didn't dare to offend her, and he didn't even dare to speak or breathe loudly. He couldn't afford to offend a woman who was so angry at this time.

If you are not careful, you may start a family dispute.

After coming out of the room, Tang Ying rolled up her sleeves and strode towards the kitchen: "He Yuan, come in and help me."

"They don't eat, don't come, don't give face, we eat it ourselves, we are not fools, we are not willing to eat such a rich meal, why bother giving it to them, we can eat it ourselves." "They don't come, Just in time, let’s eat it ourselves. If you don’t believe that eating this meat will burn your mouth and make you feel shameless, you can go back by yourself from now on! I can’t afford to take care of your group of uncles.”

Qin Xi and Qin Jiang looked at each other, but didn't say anything. The place suddenly became cold, and the scene was a little awkward.

On the other side, the He family also had a small accident. The weather was too cold. The bus broke down halfway and stopped in place, unable to start the fire.

At this time, the He family, who were crowded and filled with anger, got out of the car cursing.

It was impossible not to get off the bus. There were too many passengers on the bus. When they saw that the car had broken down, many people planned to get off and walk back. The He family had no choice but to get off, and they were forced to walk down.

Father He's neat Chinese tunic suit became wrinkled, and his hair style, which he had styled early in the morning, was all messy. This made him, who had always been concerned about his image, look dark.

After getting off the bus, Father He kept mumbling: "What a decent person. What a decent person."

"Okay, stop nagging about it. Your clothes are wrinkled, so it doesn't matter. What you should be thinking about now is how to get to my eldest grandson's place."

"If you want to go, just go. If you don't want to go, go back quickly. This weather is so cold that it can kill people."

"It's the same today. Nothing goes smoothly. This old car broke down in the middle of the road, so nothing goes smoothly." Grandma He pointed at the bus that broke down halfway and cursed.

If nothing goes well, the mood will naturally not get better.

"We're all here, of course we have to go on. He Yuan and the others are still at home waiting for us to have dinner!" We're all here, and of course He's mother doesn't want to go back.

This is also what everyone present thinks. At this time, there is no food to go back. It is better to continue walking to He Yuan and have a delicious meal.

A group of seven people braved the cold wind and rushed to He Yuan. Along the way, they kept complaining. Why did they order dinner at this time? Why did they choose to rent a house so far away? Why did they disobey and choose such a place? When a woman is a daughter-in-law, she can always complain if she feels dissatisfied.

It seems that by saying this, I can vent some of my unhappiness today.

Here, Tang Ying and He Yuan were stir-frying the vegetables very quickly. They were mainly afraid that the vegetables would get cold, so they cooked the duck first, which was more time-consuming, and the rest were quickly stir-fried.

While the He family was rushing on their way in the cold wind, Tang Ying and the others had already eaten.

All the previous unhappiness turned into appetite in front of delicious food.

At this time, it was already half past twelve. A normal person would feel that the He family would not come. Even He Yuan felt that it was his family that had broken the promise.

It could be said that Tang Ying and He Yuan were angry after being let off the hook. It would not be easy for the He family to treat them to guests in the future.

By the time the He family's cheeks and noses were blown red and they walked to He Yuan's side with their necks hunched, Tang Ying had already started to clear away the dishes.

After all, Qin Jiang and He Yuan didn't drink. If they didn't drink and just ate, it would be faster. The battle could usually be over within fifteen minutes.

Qin Xi was standing outside picking her teeth with a toothpick in her hand. The chili in the blood duck dish just now was very spicy, and it made her whole body feel hot. She came out to blow in the air, trying to cool down the temperature on her face, but she didn't. Thinking of it, I unexpectedly saw a group of people heading here. The middle-aged man at the head looked very similar to He Yuan. It was obvious at a glance that they were related by blood.
