Chapter 231 Er Lao’s Father-in-law
“Tonight’s Teochew food is really good.”
On February 5th, the Lantern Festival, the street invites the elderly from every household to have a dinner. Lao Dou's mother, who had eaten and drank enough, started to sigh with emotion as soon as she returned to Kang's house, which made everyone's mother-in-law salivate when she saw her son-in-law. "You can't live without hearing it, but you can't eat it." The biscuit Azu was eating suddenly lost its flavor.
“Isn’t it easy to eat normal Chaozhou food? Buy a ticket to Chaozhou and you can eat it.” The second sister-in-law said to everyone with a smile, “Let me tell you, my hometown is great. , after eating the delicious food in my hometown, I guarantee that you won’t even remember Lao Dou’s surname.”
“Second sister-in-law, what’s so delicious?” Zhu Wanling thought. It will be my birthday in a few days, and since I love to eat, it would be nice to take her on a trip.
"I'll count them for you." When she said this, the second sister-in-law became excited, "What about Sunan Braised Goose, Mamagong Zongzi, and Longdu Rice Noodles? Have you heard of it? Never heard of it?"< br>
Second Sister-in-law said that no one had ever heard of these things, let alone eaten them. Not only did Zhu Wanling want to take Master Zhu to eat them, but Azu also stood up and suggested enthusiastically: " How about this? Don’t we all have a day off on Saturday? Why don’t we go to Chaozhou for a nice meal?”
“Okay, I’ll cover food and accommodation.”
But Ayao and Sachiko were not interested anymore, and they both shook their heads and said that they would give up. In addition to them, the bosses Guang and Xianglan also expressed their intention not to go. What surprised everyone most was that the second brother also expressed his stance and said: "Don't count me, I just came back from there and I won't go."
"Isn't it? How can this Teochew son-in-law not go eat authentic Teochew cuisine?" Kang Qirui asked doubtfully.
"Do you have to go that far to Chaozhou to eat authentic Chaozhou cuisine? There are also authentic Chaozhou restaurants in Guangfu." The second brother rolled his eyes and said speechlessly. The whole family went to Chaozhou for a meal. How much more expensive is the fare?
A Yao nodded and agreed, "That's right. Moreover, in the past few years, newspapers have said that some businesses in Chaozhou have resorted to fraud and substituted inferior products for superior ones, which has resulted in a very bad image of Chaozhou."
"Hello? Those are all old things. Now we Chaozhou people have realized this and are already working hard to shape our own image." When talking about her hometown, the second sister-in-law was very excited. She defended her hometown. With.
“Do you think it’s easy to reshape your image? As the saying goes, it’s easier to demolish a house than to build one.” Ayao seemed to regard his home as being in a government agency, and said in an official tone: “We need to take practical actions. You can't just talk about it."
"It's not that I won't help you, wife." The second brother saw that the second sister-in-law was angry but did not speak for her, but said in a desperate tone: "The first two. When you gave birth to Siyu, your mother called to see you and said that you wanted to reshape your image. What would you look like? ”
It's fine if I don't mention this, but I'll get even more angry when I mention this second sister-in-law. At that time, the second sister-in-law gave birth to Siyu, and the second sister-in-law's mother came over at last minute without bringing anything. The second brother-in-law talked about this for two years. The second sister-in-law said excitedly: "I've said it many times. The last time my mother gave me a spanking, it was because she was too anxious about Siyu's birth. She was in such a hurry that she didn't bring anything with her. If I give the spanking now or my mother calls, I'm sure I'll show my respect to everyone."
"Are you being wild?" The second brother looked at the second sister-in-law with special disdain. The second sister-in-law was so angry that she pointed her finger at him and was speechless. Tianxiu just came out of the room. When he saw this situation, he said like a brat: "Dad, don't be angry with mommy all the time. What's the fuss about?" Yes?”
“Oh, you are a bad boy, why don’t you help your mommy?” The second guy gently patted Tianxiu’s head and said, “What’s your mommy thinking? I think she has been out of Liuye, do you know? When I married your mother, I even doubted whether your mother was Liuye.”
The second brother’s words were a bit too much. It's beyond the scope of joking. The old lady quickly smoothed things over and said, "You loser, you are as skinny as a monkey. I have never doubted whether you are a fake or inferior product." The mother's words made everyone laugh, which also diluted the second brother's words just now. inappropriateness.
The second brother looked like he didn't feel that he had said something wrong: "I became angry as soon as I said this. I wonder if Kang Qizong has inherited Lao Dou's genes. The other brothers They’re all fat but I’m so skinny.”
"Oh, you really can't do it even if I don't count you." Old Dou was infuriated by his second brother, "You were born prematurely. When you were born, you only weighed three pounds. I cried and sucked my fingers until I was sixteen, so I gave birth to Chongzhu now.”
“Old Dou, are you asking me to count my father-in-law and my mother-in-law now? Well?" The second guy said innocently and speechlessly. "You're kind enough to shut up. Among the whole family, you are the one who most resembles fake products." The second sister-in-law said, "Husband, I dare to lose a bet with you. If I call you, I will never bring counterfeit products. "
As soon as the second sister-in-law finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Zhu Wanling was about to get up and open the door, but the second brother reached out to stop her, and then said to the second sister-in-law: "Your old friend is here, hurry up and open the door." Then the second brother and the second sister-in-law started arguing, and Kang Qirui asked Zhu Wanling After sitting down, he walked out of the door from the other side and asked the man knocking on the door: "Who are you looking for?"
"@&@#&@" The man spoke perfectly. He didn't understand, so he interrupted: "I'm sorry, what did you say? Do you speak Cantonese or Mandarin?" The man nodded and said in Cantonese: "Oh, sorry, what I just said was my hometown dialect. I want to ask. Is this Kangershou’s house? I am Su Miaochan’s old friend.”
Second sister-in-law’s old friend? The second guy is just following his words. Kang Qirui thought this in his mind, and opened the door to let Su's father in, while shouting inside: "Second brother, second sister-in-law." Naturally, Su's father greeted everyone in the Kang family and chatted politely for a while.
After the greetings were over and Father Su sat down on the sofa to drink tea, the second brother smiled and said: "Father-in-law, do you know? Before you knocked on the door just now, we were talking about you, old man, no Thinking that you are really here, and you really have a big bag and a small bag." The second brother kept staring at the two luggage bags brought by Su's father.
"Why do you need to say it?" The second sister-in-law was proud this time.
"Father-in-law, are you coming to Guangfu this time for business or to visit relatives?" The second brother ignored the second sister-in-law and continued to ask Su's father.
Su's father did not answer the second brother's question directly. Instead, he observed him and said: "Azong, why haven't I seen you for more than ten days? I feel like you have lost weight again? Are you sick? Are there still worms in your stomach?" The others laughed when they heard this, but Kang Qirui was stunned. He couldn't help but wonder if the second guy still had that disease? It shouldn't be. In the past few years, he has taken the whole family for physical examinations every year, and every time the second brother's results are very healthy.
"Father-in-law, it's so miserable for me to serve your daughter." The second brother took the opportunity to complain about his second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law didn't pay attention to the second brother, but said to Su's father: "Hey, you should call in advance so that I can pick up the car. It's not safe for you to come alone so late."
"How could it be unsafe? I took a taxi as soon as I got off the train. It's convenient and fast." Su's father waved his hand and smiled. At this time, Lao Dou was able to interrupt and chat with Su's father. While the two parents were chatting, Azu quietly pulled the second brother and said with emotion: "It seems that what the second sister-in-law said is true. Your father-in-law really came here with a lot of money." "
"Uncle Su may have brought Chaozhou specialties, such as scallops, dried abalone, shark's fins, etc." Kang Qirui guessed.
"Uncle Su comes so far away, he will definitely bring a lot of things." Zhu Wanling also participated in the discussion, while the second sister-in-law became more and more proud, "What? Kang Qizong? Give up? No? I told you that I, Old Dou, would not come here empty-handed.” Are you having a good time?" Upon seeing this, the second sister-in-law took the two luggage bags brought by Su's father and said, "Fuck, these brothers said you were too polite to come and bring so many things. What are they? ”
When Su's father saw his second sister-in-law taking his duffel bag, his face became obviously uncomfortable. He stammered: "It's nothing, it's just some useful stuff." They are all here, let me help you divide the things. Haha, the second sister-in-law felt that her moment of pride had arrived, and she was very positive.
“Oh, why are you so embarrassed to give these things to everyone?” Father Su became even more worried.
"It's okay, father-in-law. As the saying goes, etiquette is light but friendship is heavy." The second brother also came over and helped open the zipper of the luggage bag. The second sister-in-law helped with it and said at the same time: "That's right, everyone is fine. As the saying goes, I accept all kinds of gifts."
"Gifts. I want to give them to you tomorrow, right?" Father Su held the luggage bag with one hand to prevent his second sister-in-law from opening it.
The second sister-in-law opened his hand and said, "Don't bother me. I'll give it to you while everyone is here." She opened her duffel bag excitedly, only to find that it was full of Su's father's clothes. She was immediately confused. After a while, she opened another bag, and it turned out that it was still Su's father's clothes.
"Old Dou, have your bags been changed? Where is the souvenir?" The second sister-in-law asked Su's father with a look of disbelief.
Su's father was embarrassed now. He touched his nose and face, and said helplessly: "That's it. I came in a hurry this time. If someone calls me and says they have business to discuss with me, I'll go directly." Come here. In such a hurry, I forgot to bring a gift, yes, I forgot to bring a gift.”
Now it was the second brother’s turn to be proud. He stared at the second sister-in-law with a playful look on his face. With a sly smile, the second sister-in-law was already ashamed without saying anything. Kang Qirui quickly pulled the second brother and asked him to calm down. Su's father was still there. Zhu Wanling also said quickly: "Second sister-in-law, let me help you take Uncle Su's luggage to the room."
