Chapter 179 Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills
In the afternoon, Liu Chen and Liu Lili went to the reservoir to take a look. There were also many dead trees and weeds on the hills that needed to be cleaned up. Liu Chen didn't care about these anyway, so he left them to Liu Lili to manage.
Liu Chen told Liu Lili that his eels, loaches, and soft-shell turtles were all wild, and the quality was quite good. When he sells them, the price must be higher.
Liu Lili caught some and kept them to sell in the morning. Anyway, these things are alive and usually won't die, so he caught more.
The two grabbed some and went to Liu Lili's house. Liu Chen drank a lot today and couldn't drive anymore, so he simply didn't go back. He slept at Liu Lili's house and went back tomorrow morning.
"Ah Chen, you're back. Your family is doing well now. Not only did they buy a house in the city, they also built this house. Life is getting better." The second aunt Zhang Fengxia said, carrying a basket on her back.
Liu Chen thought to himself, when his family had no money at that time, they wished they could see Liu Chen hiding faster than anyone else, but now they see Liu Chen coming up to say hello from a distance, man, this is so realistic.
Liu Chen didn't speak, just nodded and smiled, said hello and walked to Liu Ideal's house.
Liu Lili dealt with eels, loaches and soft-shell turtles, and decided to make some to try in the evening. Liu Chen took Liu Kexin to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables.
Dinner is scrambled eggs with peppers, braised eel, turtle soup, spicy loach, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, water celery, cold bracken, and seaweed egg soup.
Liu Lili went to call Liu Dechao again. Since Liu Chen couldn't go back tonight, he wouldn't follow him either.
Liu Lili poured the wine, and when everyone was preparing to eat, he saw Zhang Fengxia, the second eldest wife, wearing an apron. "Oh, look at you father and son. You didn't know how to eat at home when you came back. Why did you start eating at Ideal's house?"
, It’s already hard enough for people, so hurry up and go home for dinner.”
Liu Chen stared, what does this mean? Are you here to call the father and son to eat? This is impossible?
Liu Chen was also confused. How could this second lady be so kind? So generous?
Not to mention Liu Chen, the second aunt's two sons and daughter-in-law have to pay for food. If they don't pay, they won't be allowed to eat a meal. They calculated this very clearly.
How could you take the initiative to ask them to eat?
Liu Chen was confused, what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd?
"Second aunt, look, we are all done and ready to eat, so we won't go." Liu Chen said with a smile.
Anyway, Liu Chen still feels that he is more comfortable eating at the ideal home. It is better to go to the second eldest daughter's house less often, let alone now, who knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
Liu Dechao also smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, please go back. We have already eaten. Let's go and eat next time."
As soon as Liu Dechao finished speaking, Zhang Fengxia came up and grabbed Liu Dechao's arm: "Oh, I've prepared the meal, what if you two don't go? Come on, come on, we have to come home to have dinner now."
Liu Dechao looked at this posture and thought it was impossible not to leave, so he simply stood up.
Here Zhang Fengxia saw Liu Dechao getting up, and immediately went over to pull Liu Chen up.
"Second aunt, it's okay for my dad to go, but I won't go."
Liu Chenpi said with a smile.
Liu Chen was talking, and the third aunt Xue Guilan came here wearing an apron: "Hey, you, look at you, why are you eating here? I've prepared all the food, and I've stewed a big goose.
, my team, hurry up and eat."
"His third aunt, I came first. Achen and his son are going to my house for dinner. They are getting ready to leave." The second aunt stared at the third aunt and said.
Liu Chen was also puzzled, how could these three ladies be so generous and even stew the goose? Not to mention normal times, even during the Chinese New Year she would not be willing to stew the goose. How could she be willing to stew it now?
Liu Chen and his son really don't know what choice to make now. These ladies suddenly treat them so well, and they are really not used to it.
Just when everyone was starting to "robbing", the eldest lady Jiang Hongmei also came here: "Dechao, Ah Chen, let's go home for dinner. My aunt has cooked a lot of delicious food."
Not to mention Liu Chen, even Liu Dechao didn't know what to choose. I haven't seen many sisters-in-law so enthusiastic before. What happened today?
"Aunts, I can just eat something at the ideal house. When I have time next time, my dad and I will go there to eat." Liu Chen shook his head and said.
That's not possible, these ladies are not easy to deal with, and they all took Liu Chen and Liu Dechao to their own homes for dinner.
Really unable to do anything, Liu Chen thought of a way to eat in order, whoever came first would go to whose house he came first, and eat one family at a time.
Everyone agreed. Liu Chen really didn’t want to go anyway, but he couldn’t resist the warm hospitality of several ladies.
"Go ahead, we have plenty of opportunities to eat." Liu Lili looked at Liu Chen with a smile and said.
Liu Chen really didn't want to go at first, but he was afraid that his father's ears would be soft, and after two glasses of wine and a few nice words, he would lose track of east, west, north, and south, so Liu Chen had better follow him.
First they went to the second eldest mother's house. Liu Chen and his son followed the second eldest mother to her house. Before they arrived at the door, they saw the second uncle and his two daughters-in-law waiting at the gate. The two sons had gone out to work, and several
Grandson and granddaughter are standing behind.
Seeing Liu Chen and his son coming, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Fourth brother, tell me, if you and your son don't come home for dinner when they come back, what will they eat at Ideal's house? His family is so poor, and you are not afraid of taking advantage of him.
When I am poor, I will ask you to borrow money when the time comes. You will be soft-spoken and you will not know how to be on guard."
Liu Dechao smiled and quickly said it was okay. Ideal was not that kind of person, but Liu Chen simply ignored him.
Soon we arrived at the living room, where a large table was filled with food, including chicken, duck, and fish.
"Sit down quickly, sit down and eat quickly."
Liu Chen and his son sat down, and the second aunt poured them some home-brewed sorghum wine.
After raising a glass, Liu Chen also drank some. The second aunt sitting next to Liu Chen kept adding vegetables to Liu Chen's bowl. Liu Chen's bowl was filled to the brim, but the second aunt still had no intention of stopping.
.
Just as everyone was having a great time eating, the second aunt started her performance: "Fourth child, your family is doing well now and life is getting better. I told you before that this kid Ah Chen is destined to be successful.
,No, look at it, just the few of us now, your family is living a good life."
Liu Dechao couldn't be happier when he heard someone praising him. Yes, his son really lived up to his expectations, and now the restaurant's business is much better.
The second uncle watched Liu Dechao drink several glasses of wine and keep refilling the glasses. The second aunt then said: "Oh, look at your second brother, he is just a bastard. He can't do anything but plant."
A few acres of land, but what can be accomplished by farming now? Seeing that the two sons are about to split up, this house is only one, and the other one has not yet been secured."
The second aunt’s performance was really amazing, she was wiping tears while talking.
Only then did Liu Chen see what it meant, but he didn't expose it and still listened attentively.
"That's right. You two sons can't live in one house. You will definitely have to build another house." Liu Dechao drank a little too much.
Hearing Liu Dechao say this, the second aunt was so happy. Liu Dechao obviously took the bait.
I saw her going on to talk about how difficult it is to build a house, how expensive bricks and cement are, and how her two sons don’t make money outside, etc., while she was crying.
Liu Chen thought to herself, it turns out that this medicine is sold in the gourd. This meal is a fake, and the purpose is to borrow money. She knows that the fifth aunt went to borrow the money but failed to borrow it. That is because the fifth aunt borrowed it directly, and she did not have it.
So stupid, this is to win Liu Dechao's sympathy, and to get Liu Dechao to take the initiative.
Liu Chen thought to himself, hey, this trick has really been used before. The five brothers, grandparents, and grandparents should be raised by everyone together, but in the end, each one complained more about poverty than the other, and in the end, Liu Dechao's family had to be raised. In the end, even
When grandparents are sick, they still complain about poverty, and Liu Dechao pays for the treatment alone.
This kind of drama happened again. At that time, Liu Chen was young and had to watch his mother cry, and his father was so soft-hearted. After hearing three good words, he no longer knew what was going on.
"Dad, we can't drink anymore. We have to go to the third aunt's house for dinner. The third aunt is still waiting at home." Liu Chen pulled Liu Dechao up.
Only then did Liu Dechao remember that he wanted to go to Lao San's house for dinner.
As soon as Liu Chen got up, the third lady walked over quickly: "Ah Chen, you guys leave quickly, otherwise the goose will become cold and won't taste good."
"Okay, let's go now." Liu Chen pulled his father up, wondering if he would leave now.
No matter how much the second aunt tried to persuade them to stay, Liu Chen and Liu Dechao were forcibly taken away by the third aunt.
After Liu Chen left, the second aunt and her family were so angry that they were stomping their feet. They performed so hard that the fourth child was about to cry. He succeeded immediately. Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way.
Even if we leave, they won't leave.
"Hey, if I had known better, I wouldn't have prepared so many dishes. It would have cost me a lot of money."
Liu Chen was dragged to his house by the third aunt. Everyone was waiting. When the room was full of people, when they saw Liu Chen and his son coming, they quickly pulled him to sit down.
They were pouring wine and picking up vegetables. The scene was really lively. Liu Chen's bowl was so full of vegetables that it almost reached his chin.
Not to mention, the goose stewed in an iron pot tastes really good. I haven’t eaten goose meat like this for a long time. It’s spicy, chewy, and tastes good.
After a few glasses of wine, the third aunt and the second aunt were almost the same, and it was also a good show.
My wife got sick some time ago and spent a lot of money on the family. Now she can't work. My two sons can't make money as masons. They work for three days and have two days off. What do you think my eldest son can do at home?
For cooking, see if Liu Chen's restaurant can let her eldest son cook in the restaurant. Don't pay more than 8,000 yuan a month.
Liu Chen just watched the third lady's performance, saying nothing, just eating goose meat, and looking at the gate from time to time.
Liu Dechao has been spoiled a lot, and he didn't understand what his third sister-in-law said at all.
