Siheyuan: Get the system at the beginning

Although Mr. Xu was reluctant to see his son suffer any injustice, he still chose to let his son suffer for the sake of wealth and money.

"Humph! If their family wasn't rich, why would they let my son suffer this injustice? Damao, don't be angry. If she doesn't come, then she won't come. We won't spoil her. If she doesn't come, we'll eat more.

Lest I get angry when I see her, a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and she's a rich lady! What's the point of a woman who can't give birth to a child?

Mom will cook you a pig's trotter today. I was lucky enough to buy two kilograms of prawns yesterday. I will make you some shrimp dumplings later. I won't say anything else. Just spend some time chatting with your dad. You are still young and you should listen to your dad about some things."

Mother Xu was also very angry when she talked about her daughter-in-law. She had long forgotten how humble she was when she was a maid, always fearing that she would be punished if she made a mistake. But now she was so arrogant and said the most hurtful words.

"I know, mom, go ahead and do your work! I know all about these things, but just thinking about them makes me feel wronged."

Xu Damao glanced at his mother and coaxed her back to the kitchen. As soon as he turned his head back, he saw his father looking unhappy.

"Alright, why are you a grown man and feel wronged? The more you talk, the more you get wronged. Don't you see your character? Once you bring your wife back home, live a good life for the next period of time. Even if you have a mission to go to the countryside, you should behave yourself. Who knows, one of those people watching the movie might be someone sent by your father-in-law. If he catches something else and we really have to divorce, then your grievance will not be in vain."

"Okay, I get it. Dad, try this. This is Liujiawan's unique tea. It tastes pretty good. This is a treasured collection from my fellow villagers. Most people can't really drink it."

Xu Damao said indifferently, took out a small bag of tea from his pocket and put it on the table reluctantly, preparing to make a cup for his father.

"The tea from Liujiawan is good. Did you remember what I just said?"

"Remember, remember. At worst, I'll just be a coward and endure it."

When he thought of the scene he secretly saw outside his father-in-law's study, his heart was burning. Those were boxes of gold bars! This was just what he secretly saw, what about what he didn't see? He didn't dare to think about it.

"Look, you are really good at talking and you are not reliable at doing things. What are you thinking about while brewing tea? You are really wasting a good thing."

Father Xu didn't care what his son was thinking. He was looking at the cup full of tea overflowing everywhere with a painful look on his face, and the tea leaves were floating all over the table. It was irritating to watch.

"Oh I remembered something. My fault. I'll clean it up right away."

Xu Damao didn't dare to get angry again and had to clean up the mess he had made. He felt very sad. After all, if Lou Xiao'e came this time, the reunion dinner would definitely be more sumptuous.

………………I am the interval line of time………If you don’t accept it, hit me…………

"Zhang Xiaoyan seems to have gone out just now and hasn't come back yet."

In the deaf old lady's room in the backyard, the square table was filled with various dishes. Yi Zhonghai and his wife, the deaf old lady, and He Yushui were all sitting there waiting for He Yuzhu to serve the last dish.

"Even if you are at home at noon and at night, in some places you have a family reunion dinner at night, it's all the same."

The deaf old lady didn't care where the other person went out. Anyway, the plan was to be held at night, so it was better not to be an eyesore. So she didn't care at all when she heard Yi Zhonghai's words.

He Yushui sat obediently in her seat without saying anything and did not go to the kitchen to help. She had no interest in commenting on what they said.

A few people chatted about some other things until He Yuzhu served the last dish, braised carp. Everyone at the table looked at the table full of delicious dishes and happily raised their wine glasses, picked up their chopsticks and started eating happily.

The backyard was full of people eating. Since Mrs. Jia could not speak or make any sound, the atmosphere at the dinner table was normal except for the chattering of Bang Geng. Mrs. Jia would occasionally glare at Qin Huairu, but everything else was normal. In fact, neither of the couple knew how much anger Mrs. Jia was holding back. As for who was the target of this anger, they would know when the time came.

Time passed quickly and it was afternoon already. Zhang Xiaoyan came back from outside. In order to save time at noon, she only ate a bowl of diced potatoes and bacon stewed rice that she had prepared earlier. She didn't want to be careless about the dinner in the evening because it was the last meal of the year.

When she got home, she started steaming, frying, roasting and stewing. In fact, many of them were prepared in advance and she just took them out now to make them look like they were being prepared so that others could smell the food and know that she was making the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Xiao Zhang is back, don't forget to come over tonight! The old lady asked Sha Zhu to cook a lot of dishes. After all, he is a great chef. You should try his cooking. What's the point of celebrating the New Year alone? It will be more lively if we are together."

After the woman had finished lunch and cleaned up, she sat at the door of her house, sewing shoe soles while waiting. Finally, she waited for the person to come back. Then she went back to put down her things, packed her clothes, and ran to the backyard. She did not go into Zhang Xiaoyan's house, but stood through the open window, watching Zhang Xiaoyan busy inside and trying to persuade her.

"But how can I do this if I've already cooked this dish? Wouldn't that make me look like I'm taking advantage? And there's an old saying in our place: 'Even begging has New Year's Eve,' so what's it like to celebrate the New Year there?"

Zhang Xiaoyan scooped up the fried crispy spareribs from the pot and looked at an old lady outside the window embarrassedly while talking. The two of them were talking through a wire mesh that looked like a fishing net.

"What's the big deal? Every place has its own customs. Why do you care about the customs of your hometown when you are here? Besides, why would you celebrate the New Year alone? The New Year should be lively. If you really feel embarrassed, why don't you bring two dishes to join in the meal? After all, you brought dishes too."

How could an old lady who came here with a mission back down after just a few words? She swallowed unconsciously as she smelled the fragrance floating in the air. Even though she often ate Sha Zhu's cooking, who could resist this fried food?

"Well then! We still have to honor our ancestors here so we still have to prepare the dishes. When you guys are ready to eat later, call me and I'll bring two dishes over."

When Zhang Xiaoyan raised her eyes, she saw the other person swallowing his saliva. She sneered in her heart, thinking that he looked embarrassed, and then she agreed.

"Hey! You're right to think so. Then let's agree to come over in the evening! I'll ask Yu Shui to come and call you later."

The aunt thought the other party would give her a piece of fried pork ribs to try, but after waiting for a long time, the other party just nodded and nothing else. She felt a little unhappy, but after all, she had lived for decades and still had some shrewdness. She wondered what two dishes the other party would bring. She went back with a little regret.

Zhang Xiaoyan ignored the other party. Anyway, both parties had achieved their goals. The next step was to prepare the reunion dinner carefully.
