Chapter 205 Family Banquet

The doorbell rang twice, and Chen Huai saw his uncle Tang Jianmin wearing an apron, running over with his hands and opening the door, calling out, "Little uncle..."

"It's Chen Huai, come in quickly. Your sister-in-law said that you like eating dough dumplings the most, so she gave me this difficult task," Tang Jianmin raised his hands with the dough and raised them, and smiled, "You are Secretary Chen now. I don't blame me for not having to shake hands with you, right?"

Chen Huai knew that his "little uncle" should not welcome his arrival, but he could not twist his sister-in-law's personality, so he would not object. He entered the door and changed his slippers, took out two cans of tea from his backpack, and said, "I was lazy and didn't prepare anything when I came back this time. I just bought these two cans of tea on the road. I was very insincere. Don't dislike me, uncle..."

I only bought two cans of tea as gifts on the way, of course it was not sincere. Tang Jianmin unexpectedly glanced at his wife, suspecting that it was bought by his wife on purpose by Chen Huai. He thought that Chen Huai could listen to his wife's opinions, which shows that his hostility outside has been worn out a lot in recent years.

Unlike other people in the Song family, Tang Jianmin was just a son-in-law who was not so valued in the Song family.

The old man was impacted back then, and Song Wenhui was sent to Qianjiang Farm with the fourth brother Song Bingsheng for renovation. Tang Jianmin was a doctor on the farm at that time, and Chen Guixiu had to go to the farm later. Only then did the four people know each other and form two lovers, and at the same time they got married and gave birth to children under such harsh conditions on the farm.

Later, the old man was rehabilitated and his post was restored, and the children of the Song family were able to return to Beijing. However, at that time, Chen Guixiu and his parents were still affected by overseas relations and were not rehabilitated. Song Bingsheng gave up his marriage with Chen Guixiu and returned to Beijing for his personal future. Tang Jianmin and Song Wenhui could not say anything. They were eager to leave the farm at that time, so they could only leave the young Chen Huai and his mother Chen Guixiu on the farm to continue their hard life.

It had been six years since Chen Guixiu passed away and brought Chen Huai into Beijing.

Because he knew the cause and effect of the whole incident, he also knew where Chen Huai's resentment towards the Song family came from. Tang Jianmin was able to sympathize with the things that others did after Chen Huai, but he was not as obsessed as his wife was blindly tolerant.

Tang Jianmin sympathized with Chen Huai, but was afraid that his personality would be difficult to change and did something difficult to deal with, so he was also in a state of disregard for him.

Tang Jianmin also knew that his wife had watched Chen Huai grow up because she was too young, and had feelings for him, and was indebted to lose money. She always said that if they were not so anxious to return to Beijing, things might not have become so unchanging. Even after Song Bingsheng gave up his son, his wife thought that Chen Huai had become like this, and they also had certain responsibilities.

Chen Huai has done a lot of things in Donghua during this period. His wife always talks in his ears, saying that he doesn't believe that a person will have fundamental changes in such a short time, but he can't twist his wife's character.

Song Wenhui came into the house to change slippers and said to her husband Tang Jianmin: "Chen Huai still remembers the fact that you taught him how to practice big characters. Chen Huai is so beautiful now that he is not necessarily much worse than you..."

"Is that true?" Tang Jianmin certainly didn't believe it, but just asked in agreement, letting Chen Huai sit at will, and he went back to the kitchen to continue busy.

"Do you want me to help?" Song Wenhui asked, looking at her husband who was sweating on her forehead.

"You are not as good as me." Tang Jianmin didn't dare to let his wife go into the kitchen to cause trouble.

Song Wenhui was transferred from the Ministry of Electricity to Southeast Power Construction Group as deputy general manager, and her work location was in Jiangning City, the capital of Jiangdong Province. Tang Jianmin did nothing in his career, so he was transferred to the Jiangdong Provincial Health Department. They only returned to Yanjing occasionally, and it was impossible for a nanny to help cook in the house in Yanjing.

These two days they were in Yanjing and had no chance to make food at home. Today, they were also for Shen Huai, and they didn't want him to feel too unfamiliar. They bought vegetables in the morning. Tang Jianmin was busy for a long time and did not prepare the same dishes.

"Or why should I do it?" Chen Huai looked at the dough that Tang Jianmin kneaded was as mud as it was, and the half-cut potatoes were chewed out like dogs. He knew that his sister-in-law and uncle were not good at cooking. After washing his hands, he picked up the potatoes on the cutting board and cut them. "I have lived alone in the past few years, and my cooking skills are pretty good..."

Tang Jianmin was about to say no, but when he saw the potato shreds as thin as matchsticks cut out quickly and in a row from under the Shen Huai knife, he glanced at his wife and wanted to ask what was going on.

Song Wenhui spread her hands proudly. She had a lot of complaints with her husband about Chen Huai's affairs. Although she could only do it by herself in the end, she could not convince her husband to change her view of Chen Huai, and she was inevitably a little proud at this time.

"Will it be too detailed?" Chen Huai looked up and asked when he saw that his aunt and uncle didn't say anything.

"Your sister-in-law and I have poor cooking skills, but just looking at it, you know that this knife skills can scare people," Tang Jianmin smiled. "We know that you are the party secretary of the town in Donghua. People who don't know think you are the chef of which hotel..."

Song Wenhui winked at her husband and refused to let him talk nonsense; Chen Huai didn't mind. He knew that Tang Jianmin was a carefree person and was not very enthusiastic about the officialdom. He also said something and would not be particularly sensitive to the measure.

The kitchen was wide enough, Chen Huai cut the potato shreds quickly and added two handfuls of flour to the dough to make the flour look more vigorous. After waiting, Tang Jianmin simply gave the apron to Chen Huai, and he started to do it.

The prepared dishes were very rich. Chen Huai picked the handmade ones and made four dishes and one soup. He added another bowl of dough and went to the restaurant to set up the dishes and chopsticks. He listened to his sister-in-law calling in the study.

The study room was not closed tightly, leaving a crack. I heard my sister-in-law pressing her voice inside and talking: "I invite you to have a meal. Can there be any other conspiracy? I don't care how the woman named Xie thinks about Chen Huai, so she doesn't need to evaluate whether Chen Huai is good or not. The key is whether you want to recognize your own son... If your own son has changed, you don't want to take a look, so how can you be clear in your heart?"

When Chen Huai saw his uncle come out with a wine glass and stare at him, he just smiled.

Song Wenhui put down the phone angrily and came out of the study. Looking at Chen Huai and her husband in the restaurant, she also knew that she had heard the phone call she had just called them, but she was afraid that Chen Huai would be irritated, so she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Chen Huai has low requirements and can even eat this meal well with his sister-in-law. Even if the purpose of returning to Beijing is achieved, can he still expect more?

"I'm almost hungry. I haven't eaten yet. Can we start eating now?" Chen Huaishu didn't stop and put the dishes and chopsticks together. He smiled at his younger sister Song Wenhui, "I've been busy in the kitchen for a long time, and I have no credit and hard work. If it's not delicious, my sister-in-law and your younger sister-in-law, you should be merciful when criticizing you..."

"I have learned to be slick after going out for a few years." Song Wenhui smiled and covered up the phone. She didn't dare to imagine that Chen Huai heard her on the phone with his father, otherwise what else could he say?

Although it was just home-cooked dishes, Chen Huai had only a few home-cooked dishes, called Song Wenhui, and Tang Jianmin praised them. After dinner, Chen Huai quickly packed up. Tang Jianmin took out the tea that Chen Huai bought and brewed a pot, and sat under the shade of the shade of the backyard to drink tea and chat.

However, from the topics chosen by my sister-in-law and uncle Tang Jianmin, Chen Huai could still feel that they were still cautious about him, afraid that if they were not careful, they would hurt or stimulate him. Even if my sister verbally praised what he did in Meixi Town, she was still a little unsure in fact.

Chen Huai seriously reflected on the stubborn relationship between Chen Huai and the Song family before. Because of the grudges and abandonment of the previous generation, Chen Huai had formed a self-destructive character with a strong hostility, which led to a series of ignorance and mischief, and even doing evil.

Whether it is the Song family or the Sun family, there are many mediocre children who are ignorant, ignorant, and who eat, drink and have fun all day. They cannot promote the overall interests of the family, or even hinder it. However, they will be somewhat restricted and have a little bit of a proper behavior. Chen Huai's previous temperament, which is more restrained and fucked with you, will not only wipe out almost everyone's patience to him; for the Song family and the Sun family, he is also an extremely dangerous and restless existence.

Once this impression is formed, it will be difficult to change. Chen Huai did not expect to gain the recognition of the entire family immediately. The purpose of this trip was mainly to restore a certain degree of connection with the Song family.

Song Wenhui kept calling in, but no one came to visit her all afternoon. Chen Huai noticed that his uncle had watched the time many times after three or four o'clock, and he thought about it and knew what was going on.

The Song family has a deep tree and lush branches and leaves. Among the second generation of children, except for the second uncle, his father and fifth aunt working in Beijing, the younger sister and others work in other places all year round. Although the acquired birthday is the birthday, the younger sister and others are away all year round, so it is rare to have the opportunity to return to Beijing two or three days in advance, and it is also a rare opportunity to have a chance to get together.

Chen Huai could imagine that most of the people in the Song family, as long as they did not use the unit or company, should be gathered in the mansion at this time, and these people should all hope that his sister-in-law and uncle would rush over to get together, but there should be people who would never want to see him appear.

Chen Huai didn't want his sister-in-law to make things difficult for her, so she stood up and said, "Huaihai Province is going to hold an investment promotion event in Beijing, and the tasks are broken down into cities and counties. When I came back this time, our district also assigned me tasks. Although it would not be taken seriously even in the past, I always have to show my face to the city office in Beijing..."

"You drive away, it's easier to have a car..." Song Wenhui said.
