Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 124 Chen Xueru: I must be the oldest in the family

"What happened? Why did you have to pick me up after you just sent me away?"

Li Xiuzhu explained: "Lao Yi's family talked about hosting a banquet before, but they didn't buy any meat, so we'll have to wait for tomorrow."

"I just got a big lobster a while ago. It's a rare thing. Why don't we all come over and try it together?"

"You guys came just in time, go back to the house and rest first."

"I went to pick up people, and I can start dinner when I get back."

Although Tian Zao hasn't come back yet, it doesn't matter. If someone has eaten and hasn't come back yet, just leave a separate portion for him. It's not a big problem.

When Li Xiuzhu arrived at the door, he asked Qin Zhaodi to go back as well, and then drove to the house in Maoer Hutong.

It was actually nearby, and although I didn’t dare to drive fast in the alley, it was still a little faster than a bicycle.

It took less than 5 minutes to arrive.

Feng Guozhang bought and renovated the back of Wen Yu's house, so water, electricity, and parking spots are all available.

When they arrived at the house, Li Xiuzhu talked to the three women and then drove them to the courtyard again.

Zhou Xue sighed and said, "Although the two residences are very close, I really don't want to come to this house if I can."

"If nothing else, it's just you and me...Sister Xia, you look like an old cow eating young grass."

Li Xiuzhu smiled coquettishly and said: "I have wronged Sister Xue and Sister Xia, but they won't think so. Sister Xue is so beautiful, who wouldn't be greedy after seeing her? Even I...ahem."

Li Xiuzhu's mouth was bald and he almost let it slip, so he quickly shut up.

Zhou Xue paused for a moment, her smile frozen a little.

It felt like digging a hole for myself to jump into.

Fortunately, she is shrewd and quick-thinking. After a brief silence, she quickly asked: "What about Mei Ying? She went to Xueru's silk shop today. Do you want to pick her up?"

"Otherwise, if we eat alone, I feel a little sorry for Mei Ying."

Li Xiuzhu knew that Zhou Xue was changing the subject, so he concentrated on driving. When he heard this, he said without looking back: "No, Xue Ru brought Mei Ying and Wen Jing back. They are waiting at home now."

"Now it's just you and Zao'er, but Zao'er will come back from time to time, so you don't have to wait for her, just leave a separate portion for her."

Zhou Xue nodded, finally getting over the embarrassment just now.

It was only a few minutes away, but it only took two sentences.

After getting off the car, Wang Fengxia said with a smile: "As expected, having a car saves trouble. The distance that was originally more than ten minutes has been reached in such a short time, and it is not tiring."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said: "Where are we now? It's mainly because we don't dare to drive fast in the alley. If we run on the road, we can get to the airport in less than half an hour."

This car is not an old car. It can run up to 149 kilometers per hour. If there are no obstacles on the road, you can get to the airport in less than a quarter of an hour.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu coming in with three beauties, everyone just looked at them.

Everyone has seen these three people, and those who have dined together are all women from other families who have entered the family.

It's just that the women Li Xiuzhu likes have a wide age range. These two women look to be in their early thirties.

Although she looks good, she can’t be like this...

In the middle courtyard, Lao He and his wife were still chatting with everyone outside, while Silly Zhu was cooking.

Although they are not yet old, they are already being taken care of.

At this time, Lao He felt more and more that Li Xiuzhu's words were correct. Isn't this better than going to the White Widow to be an old scalper?

It's a pity. It cost him 300 yuan for a month. In addition to spending 200 yuan, he was also given [-] yuan for the aftermath. He wouldn't be allowed to leave without giving him the money.

Fortunately, even though it only cost ten yuan a day, he still put in a lot of effort.

Although I lost money, I didn’t feel that bad.

Just as he was thinking about He Daqing, he suddenly saw Li Xiuzhu coming in with the three girls.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu's two older daughters-in-law, Lao He looked at his own daughter-in-law again.

Then Lao He quietly blocked his wife behind him, mainly to block Li Xiaozi's gaze.

If this brat is obsessed with his wife, he has no chance of winning.

How could a good young man fall in love with an older woman?

Li Xiuzhu didn't know what Lao He was thinking, otherwise...

After saying hello, the three of them entered the backyard. None of the three women said hello. They come from wealthy families and are more reserved and conservative.

Those who take the initiative are mostly from new schools or from civilian families.

As soon as the three people arrived, the room became lively.

Seeing that Tian Zao hadn't come back yet, Li Xiuzhu didn't wait and continued to cook.

Put the oysters on the stove first, then put the lobster meat in the pan and stir-fry until it's done.

As four large pots of vegetables were put on the pot, Zhou Wenjing took a deep breath and said, "Brother Xiuzhu, this smells so good. Can you cook?"

Chen Xueru said proudly: "That's not true. Although your brother doesn't cook often, his cooking skills are like this."

"Your sister, I am not someone who has never seen the world, but I have eaten in so many restaurants, and I have never seen anyone who can master all cuisines, but your brother can."

"So as long as your brother cooks, we will definitely have to eat."

Ruan Qingqiu blinked when he heard this and asked, "Sister Xueru, I think you and sister Huairu are not fat either."

Chen Xueru glanced at Ruan Qingqiu with a smile, then looked at Zhou Xue and said, "That's because your brother is special. Women who follow him will only become more and more beautiful."

Ruan Qingqiu blinked and seemed to understand.

It seems that Sister Xue has taught her knowledge for a long time, so this may be the problem.

Can that still make a woman beautiful? Ruan Qingqiu looked at Li Xiuzhu, his shyness was a little more courageous.

Only Zhou Xue knew that Chen Xueru meant those words to her.

Zhou Xue hurriedly said: "Let's all eat. I heard that seafood doesn't taste good when it's cold."

Li Xiuzhu also smiled and said: "That's right. Let's eat quickly. Xueru, don't you like seafood? Eat more."

"By the way, you allocate some for Zao'er."

Li Xiuzhu said, taking two small bowls and filling them with three pieces of braised pork, three pieces of lobster meat, an oyster vermicelli and a bowl of lobster porridge.

Chen Xueru took one look at the amount and knew that her man was going to give it to the old lady. She smiled and asked, "Have you reconciled with the old lady?"

Li Xiuzhu shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "No, isn't this what we promised before?"

"If you don't have faith, you won't be able to stand up. Let's wait until the one hundred food expenses are paid."

Li Xiuzhu didn't mind getting some food for the old lady, but it had to be when he didn't care. If he wasn't happy, he wouldn't do it.

Li Xiuzhu came to the old lady's house with a bowl in hand and opened the door directly.

He only had bowls in both hands, so he couldn't take the time to knock on the door.

As soon as he came in, he happened to see the eldest mother there. Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "The eldest mother is here too. Are you here to deliver food?"

The eldest mother responded quickly.

"Old lady, our family is having lobster today. Do you want to eat it?"

"How to cook the typhoon shelter and make porridge. If you eat it, I'll give you three yuan."

As soon as Li Xiuzhu came in, the strong aroma of seafood and garlic made people swallow their saliva.

However, the old lady did not say anything about food, but said unhappily: "You know Madam, people who celebrate the New Year don't even know how to kowtow to Madam, and want to send her away after just one meal."

Li Xiuzhu laughed when he heard this.

"We are not relatives, we are just neighbors. You call me grandson, but I have never responded once, and I have corrected you so many times."

"So what you did is really unethical."

"Okay, it seems our fate ends today."

"I have delivered meals to you four times before. Counting the New Year meal, I charge you eight yuan."

"Today's meal is my treat. It's 92. Let's settle the bill."

"Sister-in-law Yi, bring me a bowl and I'll pour it over."

As soon as Li Xiuzhu's words came out, the eldest mother was a little at a loss, and the old lady was also a little panicked. She hurriedly said: "Why are you like this? My wife just wants you to be subdued, so stubborn..."

"...Why are you so stubborn?"

"If you kowtow to your wife, can she lose you?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said: "What you said is true, but I am a person who kneels to the sky and kneels to my parents..."

"Kneel down to my woman even under special circumstances."

"Others, then I won't be able to kneel down at all."

"Sister-in-law Yi, don't be stunned. The family is still waiting for me to go back for dinner."

Before the eldest mother could take action, the old lady hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, it all depends on you."

"Take the money back, and my wife won't let you kneel down anymore, nor will she call you grandson."

"But we agreed that if you make delicious food, you have to give it to your wife. This is indispensable."

When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he smiled and collected the money. The old lady had the same seniority as her and was a neighbor. It would be best if she didn't get stiff. "That's it. Just clean the bowl after eating and ask Sister Yi to bring it back to me."

After Li Xiuzhu finished speaking, he returned. The old lady sighed and said, "Hey, old lady, I have lived for most of my life, but I didn't expect to be caught by a young man."

The eldest mother smiled when she heard this and said, "Xiao Li is a good person, but his temper is a bit stubborn."

"Normally it's normal for him to call me aunt at his age, but in order not to call me aunt, he forcefully gave himself a higher seniority."

"The most amazing thing is that he was able to succeed. Now, in our older generation's family, there is no man who doesn't call him a brother."

"It's not unfair for you to lose to him."

When the old lady heard this, she also said: "I know, although he doesn't want to suffer, he has a kind heart."

"Don't look at other people calling you an old lady or an ancestor, but the only person who can bring food to your wife is him besides your family."

"And look at these things, these are all good things. Don't think that your wife will suffer a loss if she spends a little money to eat them. These are things that ordinary people can't buy."

"Not talking about things, but with his craftsmanship, it's worth the money."

"Xiao He's craftsmanship is not as good as this boy's."

She was not talking about Silly Zhu, but He Daqing.

"Cuifen, come and try it too."

"Ah? I won't eat it. This is for you, madam."

"Let's have a taste. My eldest grandson took a lot, and I can't eat that much."

As she spoke, the old lady took a piece of lobster meat to the aunt and handed it over.

The aunt was helpless and curious about what kind of cooking skills the old lady praised so much.

The lobster meat has a slight crispiness in the mouth, but this crispness is very thin, followed by the richness of the fat and the sweetness of the lobster, mixed with the light garlic, salt and pepper and the crunch of the bread crumbs.

The aunt's eyes lit up and she was reluctant to swallow.

But unconsciously, the piece of lobster meat soon disappeared.

The old lady looked at it expectantly and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

The eldest mother thought about it for a moment and said, "Xiao Li's craftsmanship is amazing, and this is so delicious."

"No wonder Xiao Li gave you three yuan for a meal, and you were happy."

The old lady laughed when she heard this and said, "These three yuan are not money for him to cook, but materials."

"In the past, it only cost one yuan to give my wife half a catty of fish or a small bowl of braised pork."

"And I'll also give my wife some big white steamed buns or porridge."

As the old lady spoke, she took a bite of the braised pork and frowned, saying, "This braised pork should be made by Huairu."

The aunt was startled when she heard this.

"You can always eat this?"

"No, Madam is holding it in her mouth. Except for the braised pork made by that brat, Madam can't find any faults. I can find some faults with everything others make."

The old lady continued to talk: "Just like today's braised pork. It has a slightly bitter taste. It should be because the heat was too high when frying the sugar color."

"Although it's not heavy, the boy will definitely not do it harder."

As she spoke, the old lady took another bite of the lobster balls. The crispy and fragrant lobster balls made her squint her eyes.

"This is the craft of a brat."

"It uses a lot of oil, but except for a little bit of oil, it's fragrant but not greasy, and even this residue is not greasy."

Compared with the careful tasting on the old lady's side, it's equivalent to a feast at home.

Although Chen Xueru, Zhou Xue, Jiang Meiying and others all come from wealthy families, they are just gentle in their movements and their eating speed is not too slow.

It’s not that I don’t know how to chew carefully, but Li Xiuzhu’s cooking is so delicious that it’s more cost-effective to eat meat in big mouthfuls.

After a while, Wang Fengxia, Zhou Xue and Zhou Wenjing were full.

Zhou Wenjing leaned on the chair holding her belly and said enviously: "Sister Xueru, your life is so good."

"I suddenly regret having to wait three years."

While Chen Xueru was eating, she rolled her eyes at Zhou Wenjing and said, "Let's keep our word, don't try any tricks."

"And you can come to eat and play on the weekend. Can your brother and I drive you away?"

Zhou Wenjing nodded when she heard this, and suddenly asked: "Strange, aren't you full yet? How can you eat so much? Even Sister Qingqiu seems to be able to eat for a while."

Ruan Qingqiu was startled when he heard this. He thought for a moment in confusion, and then said with a blush on his face: "It seems that after I married my brother, I can eat better than before."

"I used to be full from just a small bowl."

Chen Xueru heard this and said while eating indifferently: "That means you are in good health. Sister can now carry a hundred pounds with one hand. This amount of food is normal."

"If you don't believe me, Qingqiu, go find something and try it out."

Ruan Qingqiu was a little moved when he heard this, and even Qin Huairu and Qin Zhaodi were a little curious.

The two of them are only two or three years older than Zhou Wenjing. They are basically the same age as Ruan Qingqiu, and they are also at an age where they love to be active and thoughtful.

Qin Zhaodi was not as calm as Qin Huairu. When she heard this, her eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Then let me try?"

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes when she heard this and said, "Don't you notice when you do housework every day?"

Qin Zhaodi was stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered that when she first came here, it was very tiring to wash clothes for her family. It took a lot of effort to get a basin of water, but now she just carried it out without feeling heavy at all.

I had never thought about it before, but now I remembered it as soon as her sister reminded me.

Okay, it’s proven, it’s true, but this verification process really doesn’t have any sense of accomplishment at all.

Qin Zhaodi sat down dejectedly, like a defeated rooster, but she immediately came to life when she saw grilled oysters with garlic vermicelli on the table.

Compared with lobster, the grilled oyster, which has a special flavor, is more to her liking. It is soft, smooth and tasty.

Suddenly Zhou Wenjing looked at Jiang Meiying and asked: "...Sister Meiying, how much can you carry?"

Jiang Meiying was in a daze after hearing this, looking at her daughter helplessly.

I just asked you to change your words today. Your voice is so smooth.

But she just sighed in her heart.

From the moment she asked Chen Xueru about the marriage certificate, she had already been mentally prepared for it, and sooner or later she would have to adapt.

After a pause, she said: "It's about the same as Xueru."

"I discovered it when I was watering the flowers, and then I moved the table and tried it."

Jiang Meiying finished speaking casually, and suddenly found Chen Xueru staring at her.

Jiang Meiying didn't think much about it at first, but when Chen Xueru stared at her, how could she not think much about it.

At this thought, her face turned red.

The next second, Chen Xueru complained: "Sure enough, we men really love you the most."

"You started three months after me, but you are almost catching up with me. This is because he feels sorry for you."

Jiang Meiying was numb, her face turned red and she didn't know how to refute, but smart people like Qin Huairu and Zhou Xue also figured it out.

Li Xiuzhu hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Isn't this your order?"

"You said that Sister Mei Ying is getting older and you asked me to replenish Sister Mei Ying's energy, so I consciously asked Sister Mei Ying to be the last one some time ago."

Chen Xueru nodded, but still said a little jealously: "Now that sister Mei Ying has regained her strength, she has been very tired recently, so you have to give her some strength."

Li Xiuzhu was not embarrassed. Hearing this, he said firmly: "Okay, you have the final say in our family."

"Let Mei Ying stay with you during this period, and I'll give you the bulk of it. That's okay."

Only then did Chen Xueru laugh comfortably. She was the eldest lady in the family, so she had to be the most powerful.

Chen Xueru looked at Jiang Meiying and asked, "Meiying, sister asked you to be my companion, are you willing?"

Jiang Meiying, who had always been gentle and generous, lowered her head and did not dare to look at anyone, and nodded with a blushing face.

"Listen to my sister."

Hearing Jiang Meiying call her sister, Chen Xueru felt relieved.

She, Chen Xueruna, must be the eldest in the family and cannot be younger than others.

Thinking about this, she looked at Zhou Xue and Wang Fengxia.

...These two have to call her sister from now on, give them some buffer time first.

Zhou Xue fainted the moment she saw Chen Xueru's eyes glancing over.

As shrewd as she was, she had already guessed what Chen Xueru was thinking, but she really couldn't think of a way to counter it.

This is too bullying...

Just then, Tian Zao came back.

Seeing Tian Zao come back, Chen Xueru immediately smiled and said: "We Zao'er are also very busy people. We don't leave home every day until it's dark."
