Chapter 82 My father-in-law is quite satisfied
Sheng Xiping and others were working there, and their ears were not idle. They heard what Zhou Mingyuan was chatting with others.
As soon as Zhou Mingyuan introduced to outsiders that Sheng Xiping was Zhou Qinglan's partner, Wang Jianshe and others winked at Sheng Xiping.
Zhou Mingyuan's attitude just now shows that the Zhou family has accepted Sheng Xiping.
A good start is half the battle. From this point of view, Sheng Xiping has a good chance of getting a wife.
When Sheng Xiping saw it, he just smiled and ignored the teasing of this group of people.
The Zhou family are highly educated, reasonable, and fully respect their daughter's wishes. Sheng Xiping has known this for a long time.
When two chain saws work together, it is quite fast.
The pieces of wood were sawn here, and the others immediately gathered outside the gate of Zhou's house.
Sheng Xiping just told everyone that there is no need to clean up the yard yet.
After lunch, I found some big axes and chopped the pieces of wood into large pieces, then carried them into the yard and stacked them up.
This saves worry, otherwise Zhou Mingyuan and his wife would both go to work, so when would they be able to clean up all the firewood?
If you leave it outside, you might as well sneak it away in the middle of the night. This is not impossible.
It was very busy outside. In the Zhou family's kitchen, Wang Chunxiu, Zhou Qinglan and Tang Fengying were busy cooking.
"Qinglan, count how many dishes are there in total? If there are less dishes, go to the store and buy some more cans.
When Xiao Sheng came back to our house for the first time, he brought his friends to help with the work, but there was too little food to get rid of."
While Wang Chunxiu was cooking, he turned around to greet his daughter.
Zhou Qinglan glanced at the chopping board, fried eggs with persimmons, cold dried tofu with cucumbers, stewed ribs with beans, fried eggplant boxes, stir-fried meat, stir-fried meat with large peppers, stir-fried peanuts, and pork head meat.
There are eight dishes in total, which is pretty good for a town. The Chinese New Year dishes are only at this level.
To be able to put together such a table, Wang Chunxiu probably used all the meat tickets that he had saved up at home for a long time.
When things went wrong, I asked someone to help me find some connections, so I bought it.
In order to entertain Sheng Xiping, it can be seen that the Zhou family has tried its best.
But compared with the banquet at the Sheng family, the dishes in front of me are far behind. When the Sheng family served the banquet, the whole table was filled with hard dishes.
Of course, ordinary people can't compare with the Sheng family.
Sheng Xiping knows how to hunt. The forest farm is in the mountains, so it's not difficult to eat some game.
"Mom, there are eight dishes in total. That's enough. It's good. You don't have to buy canned food anymore."
Zhou Qinglan counted the dishes and turned back to her mother.
"Well, that's alright. You can bring the cooked dishes to the table. I'll fry some hot peppers and stir-fried pork, and then we'll start dinner."
Wang Chunxiu quickly poured the meat slices into the pot and stir-fried, then added chopped green onions, and then poured in large chili peppers.
While they were talking, the last two dishes were cooked. Wang Chunxiu asked Zhou Qinglan to ask everyone to rest and come back for dinner.
"Don't be in a hurry to eat. This is all we have left. Let's go back together and eat again."
Zhou Qinglan went out to find Sheng Xiping and Zhou Mingyuan and asked them to take people home for dinner.
As a result, Wang Jianshe, Gao Haining and others looked at the little firewood left at the entrance of the alley and shook their heads.
Sheng Xiping and Zhou Mingyuan had no choice but to continue rowing back with the others to pull firewood.
Let’s just stop sawing it later and carry those who can carry it away first, then we’ll talk about it in the afternoon.
Finally, all the firewood at the entrance of the alley was put away, and everyone stopped to rest.
"Oh, look, it's already past twelve o'clock. Are you all hungry?
Come on, come on, go into the house to eat. Your aunt has prepared the food. Isn’t the firewood gathered together?
You can't throw it away at the gate, Qingyue and I can just clean it up slowly."
He was so busy working just now that he didn't look at the time. Now it was almost half past twelve. Zhou Mingyuan hurriedly invited everyone to come in for dinner.
"It's not bad. I had some bread at the station, so I'm not hungry."
Wang Jianshe and others laughed and said as they stepped into the hospital.
"Uncle, go to your neighbor's house in the afternoon and borrow some big axes, and we will chop the firewood and stack it.
You and your aunt are both working and busy. Qingyue is still young and goes to school, so he can't do this work.
While we are all here, we can do the work quickly." Sheng Xiping walked to Zhou Mingyuan and said to Zhou Mingyuan.
"Oh, how can that be done? Why bother you anymore?
You said you transported the firewood down from Qianchuan Mountain, then helped transport it home and sawed it.
All that's left is to chop firewood, and I'll do it slowly. How much effort does it take?"
When Zhou Mingyuan heard this, he thought, "Oh, I don't need to mention this."
Where did his daughter find such a good partner? This is so thoughtful.
"It's okay, uncle, we have nothing to do, so we can take care of this little work for you.
It just so happens that we can have another meal at my uncle's place in the evening, right?" Wang Jianshe and others said with a playful smile.
"Look, why are you talking about eating for free? As long as you are happy, you can eat whatever you want.
My uncle’s family doesn’t dare to say anything else, isn’t it ready to provide you with food?”
Zhou Mingyuan knew that these young men were joking, so he also laughed.
However, he also saw that these friends of Sheng Xiping were indeed quite loyal.
Having such a friend also proves that Sheng Xiping is popular and has good character, and Zhou Mingyuan values Sheng Xiping more.
Everyone talked and laughed, washed their hands first, and then went into the east room to sit down and eat.
The side stand of the Zhou family can be folded. Normally, you can open half of it if there are few people in the family. If there are many people, you can open it all.
It just so happened that Zhou Mingyuan, Sheng Xiping and the other young men were able to sit open.
"Um, I went to queue up to buy some meat this morning. There weren't many dishes, and I don't know if the food would suit your taste.
Don’t show up when you come home, just eat whatever you want, if you don’t have enough, I’ll give you more.”
Wang Chunxiu brought several bottles of wine in and said something rather embarrassed.
"Hey, Auntie, that's enough. Let Auntie take the trouble to cook for us after she has been busy all afternoon.
Auntie, you should sit down and eat too." Sheng Xiping and others quickly stood up and insisted on asking Wang Chunxiu to sit down and eat together.
"No, no, Qinglan, Qingyue, Fengying and I can just eat in the West Room. We all have the same food."
Wang Chunxiu waved hurriedly, handed the wine to Zhou Mingyuan, and then turned around and went out.
"Yes, your aunt doesn't drink, and Qingyue is still young and we can't let him drink. Come on, uncle, let's drink some with you.
When you come to my uncle’s place, just like at home, you can eat and drink freely.”
As soon as Zhou Mingyuan opened the wine bottle, he had to pour wine for these young people.
How could Sheng Xiping let his future father-in-law pour him wine?
He hurriedly took the bottle of wine and stood up to pour it first for Zhou Mingyuan, then for the apprentices in the machine repair shop, and finally for their friends.
When the wine was filled, Zhou Mingyuan picked up a glass of wine first.
"Well, I'm older at this table, so I'll take one.
I am very grateful to Xiao Sheng, Haining, Jianshe and you guys for bringing firewood to our home.
Oops, this really solves a big problem. Otherwise, I would be really worried this winter. Come on, I’ll treat you as one of my uncles.”
