Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Following Yu Li's gaze, Yu's mother looked at Yan Jiecheng and found that he was also looking at her suspiciously. She smiled and said:

"Jie Cheng, don't think too much. Since Xiaoli is marrying you, she is a member of your Yan family. We are all family. I am not afraid to tell you that I asked that question just now on behalf of Haitang."

"I heard that the young man is very good. You two will live in the same courtyard with him, so you have to keep an eye on him. When Haitang marries here, it will be convenient for you to move around."

Unexpectedly, Yu's mother had been thinking about something for such a long time when she just saw Lin Donglai, which made the three aunts beside her look at her with admiration.

They were all women of similar age, and she thought that she was not as far-sighted and comprehensive as Yu's mother.

"I think what my in-laws said makes sense. Lin Donglai is very well-off, and there are many people who are interested in him. If he wants to find a partner later, he can't let an outsider get the upper hand."

"Jie Cheng, Yu Li, you are all young people who can chat with each other. Please check on me from time to time. If you find any signs, notify my in-laws immediately. Do you hear me?"

Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng nodded obediently. Yu Haitang simply hid behind her mother while listening to everyone's discussion, her face blushing.

Yan Bugui walked around the yard and counted twice. Only then did he feel relieved when he found that the people sitting in the yard and the gifts matched.

At this time, Sha Zhu had already prepared the dishes, so he quickly called the three aunts and several children to the yard, and the whole family helped serve the dishes.

The third aunt wanted to serve the fish first, but Yan Bugui immediately refused and whispered, "Old lady, serve the fish later. Listen to me and serve the shredded potatoes first."

There wasn't much fish, and he was afraid that if he served it, it wouldn't be enough and some nosy people would embarrass him, so he thought of serving shredded potatoes and cabbage first so that everyone could fill their stomachs.

Wait until everyone is half full before serving the fish. This way it won’t seem too little and should be enough.

In fact, it is Yan Bugui's fault. If he had roasted all the fish for the banquet, there would definitely be some left over.

But after calculating, he thought that there were too many fish, so he secretly pickled several large fish and made salted fish. Coincidentally, some of the baked fish were eaten by wild cats, so there was not enough.

As soon as the dishes were served on the table, everyone rushed to pick them up. The Yan family prepared a lot of two-grain steamed buns and a small amount of white steamed buns and placed them on the table.

Those who were quick-eyed and quick-handed grabbed the white flour buns, while those who were slow-handed could only eat the two-grain flour buns. But no one said anything, after all, that was the condition.

It was already noon and everyone was hungry. When the food came, they all ate the steamed buns with the vegetables in big mouthfuls.

Lin Donglai took the initiative and he and his sister each took a white flour steamed bun. Probably because she ate too much meat on a daily basis, the little girl was now eating the steamed buns with hot and sour potato shreds, and she seemed to be chewing them with gusto.

I have to say that Sha Zhu's cooking skills are really good. He cooks simple ingredients better than others. Lin Donglai exclaimed after tasting the dish.

Among these people, Banggeng was the most unhappy. He believed that banquets meant eating meat, but all the dishes served were vegetarian, without any meat at all. He immediately became unhappy.

"Mom, why is there no meat at the Third Uncle's banquet? I only want to eat meat, not these vegetarian dishes."

Then he said, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have eaten it at home. I could have bought a lot of meat with the one dollar we gave as a gift."

Qin Huairu was afraid that the Yan family would hear her and cause trouble, so she quickly whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, kid. Eat your food."

Banggeng's words resonated with one person, who was none other than Xu Damao. His family usually had good food, basically eating white rice and white flour buns every meal.

I couldn't grab the white steamed bun because I wasn't quick enough, so Lou Xiao'e and I each took a steamed bun made of two pieces of flour. I chewed it and swallowed it, and it felt a little spicy in my throat. I was feeling uncomfortable.

Banggeng's complaint undoubtedly aroused his resentment: "Qin Huairu, your Banggeng is telling the truth, why are you stopping him?"

"It's ok to have only two-grain buns at the banquet, but all the dishes are vegetarian. They treat us like chickens and ducks raised at home, and we only eat vegetarian food."

Xu Damao became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood up and shouted, "Uncle San! Do you have any other dishes? Don't serve us all vegetarian dishes. Give us some meat too."

As soon as these words came out, several people echoed that they wanted to eat meat, and asked Yan Bugui to serve them the meat quickly, as they were starving to death.

Yan Bugui cursed Xu Damao in his heart, but said cheerfully: "Don't be impatient, the meat dishes will be served soon." Only then did he ask the three aunts and the children to bring the fish to the table.

As soon as the fish was served on the table, everyone rushed to reach out with their chopsticks. Unexpectedly, despite the full bowl of fish, the last person to pick up the fish didn't get a single piece.

Everyone thought the bowl was full of fish, but who would have thought that the Yan family actually put a layer of fried cabbage under the fish?

Banggeng and Qin Huairu both got the fish, so they stopped complaining and ate with relish.

Xu Damao and his wife were quick-witted and naturally grabbed the fish pieces. While eating, they said, "Shazhu is not a good person, but the food he cooked tastes OK."

The person who felt the most uncomfortable was Yi Zhonghai. He sat next to the deaf old lady, wondering how they could not finish the full bowl of fish in one round.

So he leisurely picked up a piece of fish for the deaf old lady and planned to pick up a piece for himself. However, he picked up a handful of cabbage with his chopsticks. When he looked closely, there was no fish in the bowl, only cabbage.

As the eldest uncle in the courtyard, he couldn't make a scene like some people, so he could only curse in his heart: It's really outrageous that Old Yan has to calculate the dishes for the banquet.

Stuffing the cabbage into his mouth and chewing it, Yi Zhonghai thought to himself that when the dishes were served later, he must tell the people at the table in advance to respect the elderly and love the young.

The next dish served was a small bowl of peanuts, which made the people at the same table very happy. They smiled and said, "It's peanuts. I like peanuts the most."

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai quickly said, "Oh, the old lady can't reach it. I suggest we give her some first." As he said that, he picked up the food and put some into the deaf old lady's bowl.

After putting down the table, he allowed everyone to start picking up the food. Fearing that there was fried cabbage at the bottom of the bowl again, Yi Zhonghai also started picking up the food.

Liu Haizhong at another table looked at the small bowl of peanuts and sneered, "This Yan Laokou, he even has such a small amount of peanuts for a banquet. It's not even enough for me to fry myself."

Upon hearing this, the second aunt immediately tugged at his clothes and said, "Old Liu, keep your voice down. If you have anything to say on this happy day, let's talk about it when we get home."

Only after the last dish of stir-fried cabbage with meat was served did Yi Zhonghai pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to chew.

When Yan Bugui told everyone that this was the last dish of the day, he felt that today's banquet was a waste.

The Yu family members sitting in the house were also surprised to see that the dishes at their daughter's wedding banquet were so simple and small in quantity.
