Chapter 11278
No matter how Yang Huamei tried to persuade Sister Hua, Sister Hua always adhered to her principles and returned to the kitchen to eat, and she would never eat at the same table as Yang Ruoqing and the others.
Yang Ruoqing knows what people like Sister Hua are thinking, that is, under the feudal social system, the strict hierarchy between people has long been engraved in the depths of their hearts.
When they see the county master or the county master’s wife, they instinctively want to kneel down. This is a fear of authority.
As for my identity, I am the wife of a general. This identity was originally far superior to the wife of the county magistrate. However, because I was born in the old Yang family, I came here with everyone in the old Yang family. Bian, as the niece of Yang Huamei's mother's family, this way, the kinship between these folks in the countryside has invisibly diluted the sense of oppression brought by authority.
But if you want to ask Sister Hua to have dinner together, it was originally a good intention, but it may backfire and frighten the other party.
So Yang Ruoqing never spoke from beginning to end, not wanting to embarrass Sister Hua.
And Xu Yuanming can also understand what Sister Hua is thinking in her heart. Xu Yuanming understands Yang Huamei's intentions even more. Yang Huamei was very happy, so she extended an invitation to Sister Hua.
But Sister Hua didn’t dare or couldn’t, so Xu Yuanming smoothed things over and said, “Mei’er, let her go when you eat. It doesn’t matter where you eat.”
Tan also Pulling Yang Huamei to sit down, he said: "She is here to help with the work. She is paid to do things. Eating at the same table is to give her face. It is reasonable not to eat at the same table. Don't mess up the situation. You It’s the master!”
Yes, Mrs. Tan really can't speak at will. What she said when she opened her mouth was really against the rules.
If Xu Yuanming was not here, he wouldn't think anything of it, but in front of Xu Yuanming, Tan said this about his cousin, which made Xu Yuanming mentally unhappy.
Yang Huamei also looked embarrassed.
Even the wine that Old Yangtou drank into his mouth lost its taste.
But all this has no impact on Yang Ruoqing, because she deeply understands the power of Tan's mouth. The best way to solve the problem is to continue eating and pretend not to hear.
As soon as Yang Huamei sat down, she heard her mother say this. She was embarrassed there, touching Mrs. Tan's feet with her feet under the table, and said in a low voice: "Mom, don't say that. Sister Hua is Lao Xu and is my cousin." , is a relative of our family, She’s here to help, not for those few bucks!”
Tan subconsciously raised her head to retort, but under the table, Yang Huamei stepped on Tan’s foot hard and kept hitting Tan. Shi glanced.
The old lady was not stupid either. Only then did she realize that what she said before seemed to be a little bit disrespectful to Xu Yuanming.
Not only was the old girl Meier secretly declaring her dissatisfaction, but the old man was also sitting opposite and staring at him gloomily.
Tan thought for a while, coughed again, and quickly found a topic to remedy the situation.
So he pointed at the large table of dishes on the table in front of him with his chopsticks and said, "But having said that, Sister Hua is really neat at work. Look, it took a lot of effort to prepare this large table of dishes. Thank you for your hard work." !”
When everyone heard Mrs. Tan starting to praise Sister Hua again, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more relaxed.
Yang Huamei glanced at Xu Yuanming secretly, and quickly said with a smile: "That's right, Sister Hua is very capable. She was able to put down her work at home and come to take care of me this time, just for Lao Xu's sake. "
Xu Yuanming is also a shrewd person, and he also smiled and answered Yang Huamei's words: "There are seven or eight cousins on my maternal grandfather's side, but this sister Hua has the best relationship with me. Our family has been moving around a lot since we were little, and she regards me as her younger brother!”
Lao Yangtou also nodded and kept saying, “That’s right, the friendship in childhood is the truest, and it can still be preserved!” It's even more rare to be able to support each other as adults!" Old Yangtou told Yang Huamei again in front of Xu Yuanming: "Mei'er, Sister Hua is Xu Yuanming's cousin, that is, your biological cousin."
< br>
"You have to be sensible and don't boss Sister Hua around just because she is paid. That's not okay. She is a relative, and you have to respect her!"
"Be another relative. , even if you pay them, they may not be willing to do this dirty work!”
< br>"Don't worry, Dad, I know it well."
Old Yang's first words of understanding and taking into account the overall situation gave Xu Yuanming enough face. The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually relaxed, and Xu Yuanming picked up the wine bottle. He came over and helped Lao Yangtou fill up the wine with both hands, while his father-in-law, who was older, and his father-in-law, who was shorter, matched the wine.
Yang Huamei picked up a big spoon and poured all the chicken soup, big meatballs, etc. into Tan's bowl.
"Mom, eat more. When you get to my daughter's place, don't show outside and eat openly."
"I won't show up, I can eat whatever I want!" Bowls and chopsticks, smiling faces.
Yang Huamei asked Xu Yuanming to help tear off the drumsticks of the old hen stewed on the table, and distributed them to Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.
"This is specially reserved for you two. The chicken legs are the most delicious!" Yang Huamei looked at the two little nephews lovingly.
The two children looked at each other, then looked at Yang Huamei together, and said sharply: "Thank you, aunt!"
"Okay, be good!"
"Qing'er, what are you eating... ”
“Auntie, you can just pick up the food for my grandpa. I don’t need you to greet me, and I don’t need you to pick up the food for me. I can pick it up myself and eat whatever I want. How comfortable I am. !" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
The farmers' families are the simplest. Whenever relatives and friends come over for dinner, they will try their best to prepare a table of dishes.
Then the male host persuades the guests to drink, and the hostess is always waiting with serving chopsticks, large spoons, etc., and her quick eyes and hands quickly serve food to relatives and friends.
Even if your bowls have been piled into a small mountain and can no longer be piled up, the host will still buy more food for you as always, for fear that you will not be full when you come to visit.
This is the simplicity and enthusiasm from farmers.
Yang Ruoqing has also seen the quality of life of some so-called wealthy families.
There were guests sitting at the big table. The tableware in front of everyone was very particular and as exquisite as works of art.
Before eating, the maid brought several handkerchiefs and wiped hands several times. When it came time to actually eat, for example, when the dumplings were served, there would be just one dumpling on the plate in front of everyone.
Then I will tell you what kind of wheat flour is used to make these dumplings. The filling of the dumplings is made of meat from a certain part of the pig. A few shoots of bamboo shoots or cabbage sums are used to prepare it. The control of various seasonings depends on which restaurant chef is hired, and what kind of water is used for steaming.
What kind of bamboo is used to cut the bamboo into pieces? Even the firewood at the bottom of the pot is made of pear tree wood? Or the wood of an apple tree?
In a word, the dumpling on the plate in front of you is no longer a dumpling, but an ingenious work of art that combines the hard work and wisdom of countless people.
