Lin Xiaohui turned around in surprise: "Promoted?"
Wu Zheng nodded, not wanting to talk more, and reached out to take the food in her hand: "Your sister must be anxious because of the wait, so go home quickly."
…
Zhang Xue had been paying attention to the movement outside. When he looked up again, he saw Gu Xingdong and Li Weimin coming this way through the window. He hurriedly got up and turned off the TV, and then entered the kitchen as if nothing had happened.
"Lishu, what can I do for you?"
Chen Lishu saw through her little thoughts at a glance. She had just installed a plate, raised her head and said with a smile: "Is the person here?"
Zhang Xue chuckled: "Nothing can be hidden from your sharp eyes."
"Let's put this on the table."
"Okay." Zhang Xue took the plate and left the kitchen.
As soon as Li Weimin followed Gu Xingdong into the house, he saw a tall girl with short hair that exposed her ears. Her appearance was not stunning, but she was quite attractive.
"Wei Min is here? This is my classmate Zhang Xue, Zhang Xue, and this is Li Weimin."
Chen Lishu also came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes. After introducing each other, she smiled with Gu Xingdong and said, "The food is ready. You go wash your hands and start eating soon."
It didn't take long for everyone to sit down. Chen Lishu made four dishes and one soup today. In the past, Li Weimin would definitely have eaten two more bowls, but Zhang Xue was here today so he was particularly reserved.
Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong helped create several topics, and everyone had a good time chatting with each other.
On the other hand, Chen Liyuan's situation in the Shi family was not very good. As soon as she entered the door, she was threatened by Shi's mother.
"Mom." Shi Nan introduced with a smile: "This is my colleague Chen Liyuan I mentioned to you."
Shi's mother was sitting on the sofa knitting a sweater. After hearing what Shi Nan said, she raised her head and looked at Chen Liyuan critically. She was pretty good, but I heard that she was just an accountant from a technical secondary school, and her family was from the countryside. What kind of decent people could be taught in the countryside?
My son, his son is so outstanding, his appearance is outstanding, he is still a college student, and he will be an engineer in the factory in the future. He can't find any kind of girl who is suitable for him. I don't know what charming means he used to seduce her son. He must also want to climb high.
"I've never seen someone come empty-handed when visiting an elder's home for the first time."
Chen Liyuan's face suddenly turned red.
She was going to buy gifts before coming here, but Shi Nanfei said she didn't have enough time and forced her to come over.
"Mom, I just came over for a quick lunch. Besides, I'm afraid that you and my dad will be impatient because of the wait. Liyuan originally wanted to buy something."
"Forget it, we may not be able to see what our children buy. Xiao Min and the others are ready for the meal. Let's start the meal quickly."
As soon as Father Shi finished speaking, a woman in her thirties came out of the kitchen, holding two plates in her hands. She glanced at Shi Nan and Chen Liyuan: "Dad, it's just me and my second sister who are busy. It's the first time for Xiao Nan to lead a colleague."
Come back, how dare we give instructions."
"This is my eldest sister."
Chen Liyuan heard Shi Nan's introduction and hurriedly took two steps over: "Sister, if you have any other work, let me help."
"I heard from Xiao Nan that you are from a rural area and everyone in the city uses gas tanks. You don't know how to use them, so forget it and just sit there and wait to eat."
Seeing Sister Shi leaving a sentence and entering the kitchen again, Chen Liyuan was left standing there with a look of embarrassment.
"My eldest sister is right. You don't know how to do it, so you should come over and sit down and wait." Shinan came over, put his hand on her shoulder and led her to the dining table.
Seeing everyone busy, Chen Liyuan was on pins and needles: "How about I go help, and I can also choose the dishes."
She still knows how to use a gas tank. When she was going to school in the town, Chen Lishu got one specially for her and Gu Xingping to make cooking easier. But Sister Shi's attitude made her feel the same whether she explained it or not.
"It's almost done. If you really want to do it, you can come here an hour in advance and you'll have everything." Second Sister Shi also came out with two plates and looked at Chen Liyuan, when she saw the handmade clothes on her feet.
When he was wearing cloth shoes, disdain flashed in his eyes.
Sure enough, you are from the countryside. It seems that the conditions at home are not very good. Otherwise, why would you have to wear a pair of leather shoes when you are a guest?
Chen Liyuan became embarrassed again.
Before getting off work, Accountant Zhou asked her to prepare a report, so it was delayed for more than half an hour.
"Since it's almost done, let's start dinner." Seeing Sister Shi bring out two more plates, Father Shi said calmly.
Soon Sister Shi's family, Sister Shi's family, and the Shi family all took their seats.
"Try this, the pork elbow made by my eldest sister is very delicious." Shinan said, putting a chopstick of meat into Chen Liyuan's bowl.
Mother Shi suddenly became unhappy and said, "The food is delicious. You give me a chopstick, and I give you a chopstick. What does it look like?"
Heather suddenly became angry and stopped talking.
Chen Liyuan looked at the meat in the bowl, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment whether to eat it or not.
She suddenly regretted agreeing to Shi Nan's visit. Although the Shi family cooked six dishes, she felt that she was not as comfortable as eating in the cafeteria with Xiao Liu.
"Where is Xiao Chen's hometown?" Sister Shi asked.
"Qingshan Town below the provincial capital."
"How many children are there in your family?" Second Sister Shi asked.
Chen Liyuan replied truthfully: "There are seven sisters, and I am the second oldest."
"Seven children?" Not to mention everyone in the Shi family, Shinan was a little surprised that there were so many children in Chen Liyuan's family.
But then I thought about it and it didn’t matter. After all, it’s normal for there to be many children in rural areas.
Shi Mu's face suddenly dropped: "All seven are girls?"
Chen Liyuan nodded.
"Shi Nan is the only boy in our family. The family planning policy is so tight now, and your family is in this situation. You didn't mean it..." Mother Shi wanted to say that she wanted to harm the Shi family, but she still held back in the end.
Others don't look too good either.
"Seven children? It must be a lot of pressure, right? I can still confess you. You have also seen the conditions of our family. My brother is simple-minded. With such a big family..." Sister Shi did not say the next words, but the meaning was already obvious.
.
The reason why Chen Liyuan seduced Shinan was to help take care of their family.
"Sister, you misunderstood. My friend Heather and I have absolutely no other intentions. Although my younger sisters are also in school, I can already earn a salary and have never thought about using others for help."
Sister Shi snorted. How much salary can you make in a month if you can make money? Instead of one and two sisters, there are five. Fortunately, I asked today. Otherwise, if someone from this family really married into their Shi family, the Chen family would be like this.
A bottomless pit.
"You have an eldest sister. Is she married? I heard you say that all the burden of the family falls on you alone? Doesn't she care about anything?"
