Sitting in the car, Guan Huimo started to talk, but didn't continue.
Zhou Guobin glanced at her, "I think she's very easy to get along with. They even said they can raise your son together. Are you still not satisfied?"
Guan Hui'e looked at him with the white of her eyes, "Hey, are you ashamed to ask Zhou Cheng to eat soft food? I mean, her mother and I think differently. I was worried all the way, because Xiaolan's mother is the kind A self-pitying character, fortunately not yet!"
Although he doesn't talk much and is not particularly extroverted, it's no problem to communicate.
Speaking Mandarin with a heavy Henan accent, Guan Hui'e felt that it was no problem. These are secondary, the most important thing is to look at people.
Guan Huiye was afraid that Zhou Guobin would not understand, so he gave an example:
"I'm afraid of being like that, like Wang Guangping's wife, it will be difficult to get along with!"
Ran Shuyu just likes to associate with people with higher positions than Wang Guangping, and when she is in a social gathering, she tries her best to join her.
But also glass-hearted, especially sensitive.
In her speech, people feel that she is pitiful.
Guan Hui'e came to his senses after being reminded later, what a pity, Wang Guangping was not the only one who was sent down. There are others who have not been able to return to the city. Wang Guangping is pitiful, and others are even more pitiful.
In the past, Ran Shuyu was not such a simple person. When Guan Huiye saw Liu Fen today, she felt even less sympathetic to him. The state will pay back wages to Wang Guangping, and the Wang family will not be so poor no matter what. Besides, Xiaolan's mother, a divorced rural woman, can strive for self-improvement, and Ran Shuyu should be poor if she wants to be a housewife at home.
"By the way, what happened to Wang Guangping, did he really go to the Party History Office?"
Zhou Guobin nodded, "I went a few years ago, but the higher-ups ordered him not to go?"
Guan Hui'e didn't care about other people's gossip, but sent it out of feeling after seeing Liu Fen today, remembering that Wang Guangping's son and Xia Xiaolan almost got married.
She thought proudly that her temper was easy to get along with. If Xia Xiaolan really got along with Wang Jianhua back then, how could Ran Shuyu be so easy to deal with? Hmph, it's bad luck to choose the Wang family, as the Wang family always pushes the future daughter-in-law to take the blame! Among other things, Ran Shuyu would definitely bully Liu Fen to death, how could she be so reasonable.
Zhou Guobin felt that his wife was inexplicably a little proud.
Women, it's really confusing.
Generally speaking, the whole process of meeting the future in-laws today is quite satisfactory. It's not surprising that Liu Fen was a little cautious, she didn't hide it, and said it frankly, it was negotiable.
As for Xia Dajun?
Even if Xiaolan doesn't recognize her, Guan Hui'er won't treat that kind of person as her in-laws!
To entertain neighbors is not a simple sentence.
Under the guidance of Grandma Yu, Xia Xiaolan worked hard for two or three hours, kneading dough and steaming a lot of steamed buns stuffed with beef. In this alley, she knocked on doors from door to door and delivered them to people. The number of family members will send, anyway, it will be an even number, and I would rather have more than less. How many people are there in a family? Ask the sub-district office.
"Uncle Zhao, you can taste the steamed stuffed buns you made yourself, and tell me how to taste them."
"Aunt Yang, are you free the night after tomorrow? Come to have a light meal at home?"
Neighbors, Xia Xiaolan sent nearly a hundred buns, which proves that there are almost a hundred people.
Calculated by 100 people, 10 tables can be filled, and meals for 10 tables are prepared. Xia Xiaolan doesn't care about money, she cares about herself and Liu Fen getting involved. Xia Xiaolan said that she would hire a chef from the restaurant, or prepare the dishes at a nearby restaurant and bring them back.
Grandma Yu told her not to worry:
"You wait first, someone must come to the door."
What is the effect of sending out a hundred beef buns? The reform and opening up have been carried out in the past two years, but everyone's habits were formed when supplies were in short supply.
Don't look at Xia Xiaolan's family moving in quietly, someone has been muttering behind her back that her family is cold and mean. Xia Xiaolan is going to treat guests with great fanfare, but there are not many neighbors who are blatantly taking advantage. Early the next morning, someone came to see Xia Xiaolan's house.
Someone brought a small bag of mung beans.
Some people left the chicken behind.
Some put down a piece of bacon.
Sun-dried cowpeas, pickled vegetables at home, and a small jar of salted duck eggs brought by Mr. Zhao who raised birds next door.
"Egg yolks are all oily, so it's best to drink porridge!"
After Uncle Zhao finished speaking, he smacked his mouth, "The buns taste really good, your family is really willing to put meat."
After finishing speaking, I was about to run away, and Xia Xiaolan was not allowed toWilling to decline, Grandma Yu stopped him: "Uncle Zhao, you are an old resident here, I want to ask you something, is there anyone in the neighborhood who can cook?"
"Xiaogu is very good at cooking, and he brought a few young apprentices. If anyone in this area has a wedding or a wedding, it will be Xiaogu. If you want to invite him, you don't have to worry about tables, chairs and benches. Xiaogu has his own belongings."
The Xiaogu that Uncle Zhao talked about is almost fifty years old this year. Where is Xiaogu? He lives at the entrance of the alley.
At noon, Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen cleared out the ingredients together, and everyone who received Xia Xiaolan's beef buns would return the favor to some extent. A pile of things is very messy, and you may not be able to use them for dinner, but there are some that can be used, like the big rooster that is doing its best in the yard, if you buy another one, it can also be counted as a dish.
"See, no one comes back to eat and drink for free. When you invite Master Gu, he will help you plan which dishes to buy again. If you are a bit stingy, it won't cost much to invite a customer once."
Who can afford to set up 10 tables of food at every turn?
It's not that everyone is as good at making money as Xia Xiaolan, so neighbors gather together, and coming to eat is not to impoverish the host's family, but to have fun.
"Been taught a lesson."
There is so much knowledge about human relations, each era has its own characteristics, Xia Xiaolan has learned a new method.
She went to ask Master Gu to help with the cooking, but Master Gu didn't refuse. He personally came to see what materials were in her house, and asked Xia Xiaolan what standards she would use to treat guests. He was afraid that Xia Xiaolan would not understand, so he explained to her:
"Just add ingredients as appropriate. For example, if you have mung beans sent by others at home, you can buy a few bones and cook a large pot of mung bean soup. The soup has a meaty taste, so it is naturally delicious."
Master Gu gave the standard of saving money.
Xia Xiaolan didn't make too much publicity, abalone and sea cucumber are impossible, but it's okay to serve some meat dishes.
Not only to let everyone eat well, but also to use the ingredients sent by the neighbors, Master Gu thought to himself, as others have said, the new one is really not short of money. A cook is not afraid to make a good dish. If there are good ingredients, no matter how bad they are, they will have some taste. What Master Gu is afraid of is that there are only vegetables and radishes, but the host wants to make a table top-grade noodles, how is that possible!
Uncle Zhao held a birdcage to watch people play chess:
"I'm right, isn't it? It has a history, it's well-behaved, and it's not an upstart. Don't worry?"
The two uncles who played chess rolled their eyes. They were clearly the one surnamed Zhao who cared the most about the new neighbor. After eating the beef buns, they immediately changed their tune. Why don't you go to heaven! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
