Different from outsiders and younger generations, what elders talk about and value in their hearts are other issues.
The Hong family in the east courtyard.
Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin complained.
"...I still have no hair on my lips and can't do things well. Let me just say, don't let Lao Li interfere and let this kid do it by himself. It will definitely make a joke. Look at how elegant this wedding banquet turned out in the end? What a shame. They all turned up on the table and got so drunk in the end! This is just to spread the virtue of the Hong family and make a big fool of themselves!"
Wang Yunlin was kind and persuasive.
"You can't say that. They are all young people, they like to joke, and they want to be lively. I think they are quite happy, and they are not out of the circle. As for the third child, he has always been restrained in drinking in the past few years, and he can drink to a full extent. It's so happy. It shows that this marriage is really suitable for the child. Besides, there are really many guests today. There are thirty people at the table. How much can the third child drink in this round? …”
"Hey, I know you always have something to protect him. Then they will leave tomorrow. They won't even come back? What does this mean? Are there any rules?"
"Hey, even my parents don't care about this. They have only had a few days off? They are going to Huacheng again. I still say the same thing, time has passed, one moment and another. Think about it, the drummer is gone long ago, and now he is gone. No one rides in a sedan chair or shows off their dowries anymore. Look, who else can tell the difference between marrying a girl and marrying a wife? This is why we are not afraid of you as society is changing step by step according to actual needs. If you don’t like it, since times have changed, it would be a joke to look at the present based on the previous standards.”
Hong Lucheng fell silent after hearing this, but after a while, he still couldn't help but use strong words to save face.
"That's not necessarily what you said. At least the food standards in the past were better than today's. Look at the 'six-pin soufflé' on the table today. Such exquisite palace pastries have not been seen for a long time. No. The state-owned pastry factory would not be able to make such a snack in a hundred years. And the last dish, "Braised Two Shredded Chickens", is a famous dish of our "Yan Mei Lou". It is not difficult to say. Anyone can cook a skillful dish, but the more skillful the dish, the better. Look at the soup on the table today. It's like hemp. And it's fresh and fragrant. The two flavors are not mixed, but are layered on top of each other. It's not easy to make ordinary dishes so extraordinary. Master Zhang's craftsmanship is no better than when he created this for us. The chef of the dish."
Wang Yunlin couldn't help but smile when talking about this, because from the change of topic, she realized her husband's compromise.
"It has to be said that you are very attached to your son. Master Zhang rarely showed his hand and made these two things for Xiao Wu's marriage. What a show of kindness. Now you should feel relieved. Right? It can only be said that it is fate that Xiaowu and Quanzi met a master chef like Master Zhang. Once they become chefs, the dishes of the old restaurant will be no less good than before. Who is this for? I’ve been thinking about you.”
After hearing this, Hong Lu suddenly looked pleased.
"Well, this guy is really interested. Now it's good. There is really hope for our old shop to reopen. Unfortunately, today was too chaotic and I didn't have time to have a good chat with Master Zhang. I don't know about this Master Zhang. , do you know how to make other Manchu cakes? Cream Uttar, which was the signature of our 'Yan Mei Zhai', has been lost for a long time, and no one knows how to make it now."
Wang Yunlin smiled again.
"In a flash of thought, you suddenly thought of 'Yanmei House' from 'Yanmei House'? It's actually easy. In the past few days, just ask Quanzi to take us to visit. Let's talk about the return gift after the wedding. , we have to come to thank them in person. I think now that we have met, Master Zhang will never avoid us anymore..."
Shui Family in the West Courtyard.
"...Buying silk, making clothes, making jewelry and hairpin rings, you and I will be a young couple..."
Shui Gengsheng was happily drinking wine, eating the "Zheluo" brought back from the cafeteria, and humming "Wujia Slope".
Aunt Leng Bu Shuang slapped him shamelessly, suddenly ending his freedom to sing.
(Zheluo, a capital dialect. In the past when supplies were scarce, the way to use the leftovers from banquets was to fold them into a basket, remove the soup, and then re-stew the vegetables for consumption. This generally refers to the leftovers. As for the The disappearance of this word is probably accompanied by the emergence of the new word "packing")
"Okay, okay, just eat what you have and drink what you have. Why are you still singing 'Four Olds'? With your big mouth open, I can almost see my stomach. Besides, your singing is not good either. Ah, it’s like a cat meowing, making me so upset..."
Shui Gengsheng lost his temper and immediately threw his chopsticks.
"Look at you, you have such a bad mouth, how can I attract you? I'm so happy on this big day! Are you not in the mood to sing a few lines?"
"Still overjoyed? Still happy? You are so relieved. Why don't I feel good in my heart? The more I think about it, the more I feel bad about it. The daughter I raised with great difficulty has been both good in character and academics since she was a child. Why not? He trained talents for the country, but Hong Laosan trained him as a servant girl..."
As she said that, Aunt Shui actually sniffed and was about to cry.
Only then did Shui Gengsheng understand what he was doing. His anger disappeared, but his words became more reasonable.
"Oh, look, are you being petty again? Don't you think you should get married if you train talents for the country? Why do you order a girl? That's nonsense! Oh, you just saw your daughter serving Xiao Wu in the afternoon. That's not him. Being drunk is a special situation. Why don't you look at how Xiao Wu treats Qing'er?
"I know that you are always a little unwilling, and feel that Xiao Wu is not worthy of Qing'er. But to be honest, this uncle is not without merit. At least he knows how to respect the elderly and treat children well. To his own Let’s not talk about it, parents. The color TV in our house was given to us voluntarily, right?”
"It is said that marrying a wife from a low-class family and marrying a daughter from a high-class family. The Hong family has such financial resources, but they have no temper. Xiaowu will not let our daughter suffer hardship, and he will not glare at Qing'er and his mother. I Now I feel more and more relieved about this child. And don’t forget, they will live in the same courtyard with us from now on, so what’s the difference between that and having a door in front of me? It’s okay for such a son-in-law to be content..."
This is reasonable, and Aunt Shui has to admit it. It’s just that old ladies can’t turn around so easily, and they will inevitably complain in anger.
"What are you talking about? Who has been married for less than three days? Even if you are right, you are still marrying a good person and a bastard. You have to wait and see what the consequences are. And you want to interrupt the door? He will really bully me in the future. My daughter, that’s right in front of me. I can’t be angered to death by him?”
Unexpectedly, these words made Shui Gengsheng sigh.
"What you say is not wrong. But in the long run, I feel guilty for our daughter."
"What do you mean?"
"What else can you mean? It's just about having children. Yes, everything was agreed according to Qing'er's wishes before marriage. Before Xiaoying is twelve years old, Xiaowu does not want children. But the first criterion for a qualified wife is to have children. Ah! After a long time, can the Hong family feel better? If you think about how old Qing'er will be in six or seven years, what if... you? What can we do next?”
Aunt Shui was so excited that she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"What do you mean?"
"This matter must not be left to Qing'er. We have to inform the Hong family. Our two families must work together..."
