Chapter 23: Warming House Banquet(1/2)
Gu family's old house.
There was a low pressure in the house. Old Man Gu was squatting on the ground, blowing the welding smoke in his hands, while Old Mrs. Gu was standing at the door, leaning towards Boss Gu's house and cursing people, using all kinds of unpleasant words.
Gu Mei, who came back to visit, was sitting on the edge of the Kang. Seeing that Old Mrs. Gu was not stopping, she couldn't help but put her forehead on her head and said, "Mom, what's the point of scolding my sister-in-law? That damn girl must have run away with someone."
"Damn it, why didn't I see that she was such a heartless girl before? That stinky and shameless Niu family has to go back for ten liang, my mother feels so bad, if she hadn't seen this bitch giving birth to the old Gu family.
He had a son, and he kicked him out long ago---"
Mrs. Gu finally stopped scolding and walked back, stroking her chest.
"By the way, why did you come back suddenly?"
Gu Mei's eyes moved and she said with a smile, "I heard from people in the village that the Tang family built a new house and made a lot of money."
"Don't you know all this?"
'Mom, how can you tolerate her being so unfilial?'
Mrs. Gu glanced at her and warned, "Don't mess with her, that damn girl is getting more and more excessive. She used to do it openly, but now she is stumbling on you secretly. Meichun ran away.
There is a buzz in the village, so don't let anything happen again."
"That family is hosting a housewarming party today. Is anyone here to invite you? The Tang family doesn't take you two seriously at all."
This sentence touched Mrs. Gu so much that the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. This bitch was clearly trying to draw a clear line with them.
"Mom, think about it, now that the second child is gone, the eldest brother is of no use, and he can only rely on the third child. He is in the house with his wife taking care of him. When will he be the leader? I heard that he hasn't gone there yet.
Academy.”
'Really? How did you know?'
As soon as Gu Haoshu was mentioned, the two elders asked hurriedly, with anxious faces.
Gu Mei sighed inwardly, calmed down her unhappiness, and said, "When I went to Canghe Village, I overheard what the Luo family's daughter-in-law said. Her daughter was working in the Gao family, and she said that the third child was in the house.
Life is not easy."
"It's all that bitch's fault. She didn't give her any money at that time, so she forced the third child into a wife." Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth.
"I have a way to make Mrs. Tang cough up the money." Gu Mei smiled sinisterly.
But he was interrupted by Old Man Gu, and a harsh and stern voice came, "Don't be ridiculous, the old Gu family can't afford to embarrass anyone."
Gu Mei narrowed her eyes, took Old Mrs. Gu's hand to the east wing, and shouted to Old Man Gu, "Dad, mother and I are going to see my sister-in-law."
Seeing this, Old Man Gu gave another warning.
"Quick, what can I do?" Mrs. Gu asked anxiously.
The two of them stood under the eaves. Gu Mei smiled and said, "It would be nice to go to Dafeng Village."

the other side.
"Sister Xiao Ning, you bought so many things, did you spend a lot of money?"
The courtyard was crowded with people. Many people from the village came to look at the newly built house. Every place was bustling with people talking. Anyway, go ahead and be jealous.
Dahua thought there were too many people and went into the kitchen.
Tang Ningning smiled and nodded, "There are many people, and there are also many men. It's definitely right to be more prepared."
"By the way, why hasn't Ge'er come back yet?"
"It's still early and I haven't prepared anything yet. It will be afternoon when I get back." Tang Ningning said as she sorted the dishes into categories. They were all bought yesterday, including pork, duck, fish, and many fresh vegetarian dishes.
She put down the large table that had originally been erected. It was a dining table that had been built by a craftsman. It was particularly large and suitable for use as a chopping board in the kitchen when there was a table.
"Are you going to let all this go?"
Looking at the vegetables in Dahua's hand, Tang Ningning ordered, "Bring them all over and put them on the table."
Afterwards, the two moved several times before moving all the dishes they needed and freeing up space for cooking.
During the renovation, Tang Ningning specifically ordered that the stove should be built higher, reaching the waist, with a chopping board next to it, and a large space, which is most suitable for cutting side dishes.
The two of them were busy busy when they heard Widow Luo quarreling with someone in the yard.
As soon as we got out of the yard, we saw a lot of people gathered around the backyard.
Tang Ningning frowned. With so many people coming, it would be impossible to cook the meal.
'Wang Caihua, are you embarrassed to come here uninvited? Where are the gifts?'
"Luo Qiulan, what are you pretending to be? This is not your home." Wang Caihua was not to be outdone, and brought her fat son with her, planning to eat everything here.
"You are shameless--"
"Who are you scolding?--"
The two were quarreling fiercely, and many of them were watching the fun.
Tang Ningning frowned and said in a clear voice, "I didn't know that so many people came to care about me and clamored to come and warm my new house. Aunt Niu, next time I build a house and hold a house-warming banquet, I will definitely invite you.
, everyone is invited, but this time it’s not possible, the food bought is based on the number of people decided in advance. And the little I earned before was enough to build a house, and I don’t have much left in my hand, so
,I am sorry."
What he said was so precise that many of the shameless people who came to the door and wanted to have a meal felt their faces burning, as if they had been slapped several times.
As soon as Tang Ningning finished speaking, she heard many women saying they were just here to see what the new house looked like. They were curious and left after seeing it, not to take advantage of this small advantage.
Having said that, quite a few people left.
At first glance, they all seemed to be people with whom they had no friendship at all. After being told this by Tang Ningning, she felt embarrassed and left. Among them were this bitch, Fu Gui's father, and Mazi's family.
Those who are left behind are those who are thick-skinned, let’s just say this King Cauliflower.
Seeing Tang Ningning speak, Wang Caihua hesitated and said, "I am doing this for your own good. I want to bring my children over to warm your new house. Why don't you appreciate it?"
"I appreciate Aunt Niu's kindness, but the meals are all on a per-person basis, so I'm really sorry."
Wang Caihua pouted, "How many bites can I take of you?"
"As for your family's eating habits, you can put the whole table in your bowl and pretend to go home." Widow Luo took a sip.
Wang Caihua was so angry that she yelled, "You slutty old woman, you're everywhere."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Saying that, he is about to go up and hit someone.
He was stopped by a group of women.
What a joke, Sister-in-law Wang and Sister-in-law Liang are both here, so they can be bullied by you.
"Yao, what are you doing behind the stick?"
If he was called by name, he would look a little embarrassed because he was young, and he would lower his head and say nothing.
This action made Wang Caihua furious. She stamped her feet angrily and left with her fat son.
Many of the remaining people watching the excitement left.
Tang Ningning took a few glances and saw that they were all the people she wanted to invite.
"Let's go inside and make some noodles. It's already noon. Do we have to eat this meal before it gets dark?" Widow Luo greeted a group of women and rushed to the kitchen.
"Mom, can He Hua and I help?" Gu Yan, who was hiding behind, saw that everyone was gone and quickly stepped forward.
Tang Ningning looked at the dirt that had been trampled out of the yard and ordered, "Grandpa Lizheng will be here with the craftsmen in a moment. Please clean up the yard."
The two children ran to clean the yard, and Tang Ningning also hurriedly entered the house.
Several sisters-in-law were already busy. Sister-in-law Wang was good at cutting vegetables and was responsible for chopping vegetables. The other sisters-in-law washed vegetables and chopped meat. Widow Luo killed the fish on the chopping board by pressing the fish heads.
Tang Ningning also quickly rolled up her sleeves and started cooking.
The neat sister-in-law has already started lighting the fire.
"Ms. Yao, please stop stinging and come and help light the fire." Ms. Liang saw Yao Lanqing standing uncomfortably and hurriedly said hello and asked people to do something.
Yao Lanqing frowned invisible and took small steps to sit on the stove.
"The fire will blanch all the meat." Tang Ningning said.
She really didn't want to see the coquettish woman, but people were coming, so she couldn't kick her out, and just like last time, she would be accused of bullying.
'oh.'
Tang Ningning's desire to be friends with her was turned away with an oh. Her face and tone made her look like she was being bullied?
Seeing someone lighting a fire, Mrs. Chunlan got out of the way, washed her hands, and started choosing and washing vegetables.
Although the noodles at the farmhouse banquet were not particular, the dishes were not tasty after all when they were cold, so Tang Ningning simply opened two pots, stir-fried them together, and used the clay pot to make soup.
There was also a pot full of rice steamed on the rice cooker. Because the rice steamed quickly, I left it on without turning on the heat.
"Second daughter-in-law, it's good to eat white steamed buns at this greenhouse banquet, and the meaning is good. Let's steam a big steamed bun."
The speaker is Aunt Fu, who is sister-in-law to Mrs. Liang.
"I told you yesterday that this girl didn't want to make the big steamed bun because it was too troublesome." Widow Luo washed the fish and after hearing Aunt Fu's words, she couldn't help complaining.
