Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

The Chu family's banquet was placed from the house to the yard. There were 15 tables in total in the old house and the small building that originally belonged to the eldest brother and sister-in-law. The tables, chairs, benches, including bowls, chopsticks, and plates were all borrowed from people in the village, and the chefs were from the village. Better cooks cook it themselves, it's a standard village banquet.

The characteristic of this kind of village banquet is that the taste is average, but it is very lively. Many guests will come over to help when they see that the kitchen is understaffed. As the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, Zhong Meihui naturally cannot stand idly by.

She rolled up her sleeves and helped everyone make Sixi meatballs. The third sister of the Chu family was washing vegetables. Other village women also helped cut ginger, garlic, and kill chickens and fish.

"Sister-in-law, they brought another sheep over there." The fifth sister of the Chu family pointed to the backyard. Today, the Chu family used a lot of meat dishes. They killed two pigs and two sheep. In addition, each table had a chicken and a fish. .

It can be seen that the old man of the Chu family is very happy today. Although it is a village banquet, it is also cooked to the highest standards.

"This way of cooking is really bold and you can't see it in the city."

Zhong Meihui saw the cook cutting the lamb into several pieces, putting them in a large aluminum basin, pouring in sauce to marinate, and then pouring a lot of onions, ginger, and garlic into the oil pan, ready stir-fry.

There are 15 tables here, which means that each dish has to be cooked in 15 plates, so everyone cooks with small shovels, which is the big pot rice that is often cooked in the cafeteria.

There was a temporary stove set up on the table, and the scene of several large pots cooking together was very amazing. Zhong Meihui regretted not calling Luo Zhihao over. Such a rare scene should be recorded with a camera.

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy here, hurry up and get on the table." When the sixth brother of the Chu family saw Zhong Meihui actually helping to cook, he was deeply moved. Zhong Meihui spent a large part of his tuition fees, so he was so excited for this At one o'clock she should sit at the top of the table with her parents.

"There's no rush. You and our dad will toast all the relatives first. I'll fry these meatballs and I'll be there right away." Zhong Meihui was still busy in the kitchen. At this time, the banquet had just started and only five or six dishes had been served. It was the kitchen that was busy. When , everyone knew that she was the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, and everyone had to ask her for advice on everything.

"Take out the sweet and sour pork. It won't taste good after a while, and put all the tofu into the pot. Mapo's sauce is ready."

Zhong Meihui was good at cooking, and now she became the commander-in-chief of the village banquet, letting the kitchen proceed in an orderly manner. Finally, Chu Shoucheng's mother came to call her, and she returned to the table to eat.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I'd like to toast you. Without your support in my studies, I wouldn't be where I am today." The sixth eldest son of the Chu family knew about Zhong Meihui's contribution to the family. Mr. Chu was seriously ill at the time. If Zhong Meihui hadn't provided money and effort, the Chu family would have been in trouble. He collapsed. He had no intention of continuing to study, and it was impossible for him to achieve the good results he had today.

"Sixth brother, you are too partial. It has only been a year since the fourth daughter-in-law got married, and you have been studying for more than ten years. When it comes to contribution, everyone here has made a greater contribution than her, so just take it. As for the place to live, your eldest brother and I would rather buy a house outside and take out a loan than let you live in a new building. Have you forgotten these things?"

When the eldest sister-in-law of the Chu family heard what her sixth brother said, she felt very uncomfortable. All the relatives and friends of the Chu family were here today, but everyone was following Zhong Meihui's lead. Could it be that she, the eldest sister-in-law, was dead.

In order to regain her face, she loudly spoke out about her "contribution" to the sixth child of the Chu family, and at the same time wanted to take this opportunity to get the second floor of the small building back.

"I paid for Lao Liu's tuition for so many years, and later it was paid by Lao Si's family. Even his future tuition fees were paid by Lao Si's family. Lao Liu thanks Lao Si's wife because he has a conscience. If you want him too Thank you, you will be responsible for paying the tuition fees for the next three years."

Mr. Chu was already dissatisfied with his eldest daughter-in-law. In order to avoid his medical expenses, the eldest son of the Chu family did not hesitate to lie and was unwilling to take a penny from outside. In anger, Mr. Chu confiscated the small building he built for the eldest son of the Chu family. .

If they could come up with several thousand yuan for tuition fees for the sixth child of the Chu family today, he would directly return the small building to them. Unexpectedly, these two people only came up with a few hundred yuan. Just now, Zhong Meihui and the Chu family were a few The two daughters were all helping in the kitchen, and only the Chu family's sister-in-law was eating melon seeds at the table. What she did didn't look like a sister-in-law.

The Chu family's sister-in-law wanted to save face for herself, but Mr. Chu's words made her even more shameless. She found an excuse to leave before finishing the meal.

Today's banquet lasted until the evening. Mr. Chu was already drunk, and everyone in the village had gone back. Only a few cooks were left to help clean up the dishes.

Zhong Meihui gave each of them an extra 100 yuan red envelope to thank them for their efforts today, which made the cooks very happy. After putting away the dishes, they even cleaned the kitchen and courtyard.

"Meihui, our dad asked when will Ruowang's full-moon wine be held?" On the way back, Chu Shoucheng asked about Chu Ruowang's full-moon wine. Zhong Meihui had mentioned before that she would wait until the end of the year to hold it together with Lao Liu's college entrance banquet. , Now that Lao Liu’s college entrance banquet has been held, do they have to change the date?

"Let's wait until the end of the year to have more time to prepare." Zhong Meihui was afraid that others would ask about the baby's birthday, so she simply pushed the time back. The longer the time, the more it would downplay how long the baby had been in her mother's belly.

Chu Shoucheng has always agreed with Zhong Meihui's ideas, and this time is no exception. The two of them temporarily scheduled Chu Ruowang's full moon wine for the winter vacation. By then, Chu Shoucheng's colleagues would also be free and happened to attend together.

When the two of them got home, it was already dark. They had just cooked a few bowls of noodles when they heard a knock on the door. The people who came turned out to be the third sister and third brother-in-law of the Chu family.

"Shou Cheng, we came here specifically to pay back the money. Here is 7000 yuan. With this sum, we are all settled." The third sister of the Chu family finally saved enough money to pay off the debt. She felt extremely relaxed and relieved. One breath.

She calculated her current savings and found that the 1 yuan she had left with Zhong Meihui had begun to make a profit. The noodle shop's business was also booming. If this continued, she would soon be able to rent a house in the county. You can bring the children over and reunite the family.

"I knew you two were suitable for business, but last time I checked, the dine-in store was still a bit small. If someone rents a house next door, it would be better to find a bigger place."

Zhong Meihui feels that the space of the Chu family's third sister's store has restricted the development of the store. If she wants to make more money, it is best to rent the store next door and open it up to make a big store. This can ensure daily business. Forehead.
