The atmosphere has reached this point, and the men are all very moved. Thinking that what the village chief said makes sense, they all stand up and pick up the bowls in front of them: "Thank you, brother Qingshan! Thank you, Mrs. Qingshan!"
People who have helped know how to be grateful. Even if they had not expected this scene to happen before, Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan still felt warm in their hearts.
So Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan also picked up the bowls in front of them.
Chen Qingshan said with a naive smile: "We are only providing opportunities. If everyone is not willing, it will be useless no matter how many opportunities I give."
"Giving you a chance is a great kindness!" said the village chief Bai Guili, and drank the soup first.
The men also drank a bowl of soup boldly.
Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan also finished a bowl of soup each...
Then the men began to thank Lady Luo, Chef Luo, Yun Duo and Mrs. Taoyao...
The youngest baby suddenly started crying: "I want to drink it! Wow..."
Everyone looked over and then looked at the pot, and they were immediately embarrassed: the men treated the soup as wine to serve, each person had several bowls of soup, and they drank up a large pot of soup...
Juhua responded quickly: "Stop crying, I'll make you another pot of egg drop soup."
…
After the meal, the men and women discussed what else they needed to buy based on the things given out as New Year gifts, and then they all went out to buy things together.
Because the most important things have been distributed, the men don’t need to buy much, but they are more likely to come to visit relatives.
Looking at the prosperity of Fucheng along the way, when they walked outside Fenglin Tower, looking at Fenglin Tower with so many guests coming in, the men sighed again: It is true that their wives can get such a good place to work.
blessing!
After the men finished shopping for their own things and returned to the house, it was already time for dinner.
The ladies are still working in Fenglinlou, so they will definitely not be able to come back for lunch.
Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan did not go to Fenglin Tower today. After seeing the men come back, they asked the men to accompany the children first and play with them for a while.
After waiting for dinner, Chen Qingshan led a group of men to Fenglin Tower, saying that he was going to pick up the ladies from work.
Looking at the majestic Feng Lin Tower in front of them, the men were a little hesitant.
Village chief Bai Guili came out on behalf of the men and said to Chen Qingshan: "Qingshan, your business level is too high. If we go in, it will affect your business. Otherwise, we should not go in, right? We will wait at the back door.
?”
Chen Qingshan and Qiao Chu laughed: "It's already past dinner time, and it won't affect anything even if you go in. Let's go in and take a look, see what they do on weekdays, and what the environment is like...
…”
Qiao Chu also smiled: "Don't worry, I won't do loss-making business. I must have confirmed that you will not affect the business before I asked you to come in."
The men felt relieved and followed Chen Qingshan's footsteps one by one carefully into Fenglin Tower.
The beautifully decorated lobby, the exquisite and heavy tables and chairs, the neat basalt slate floor, the women in uniforms are all smiling...
The men were dumbfounded.
Chen Qingshan led the men around the back kitchen, then went to the private rooms above to look around, and then went downstairs to the lobby: "Come, everyone, sit down."
Men can already see this luxurious restaurant that they can’t even dream of!
The mother-in-law who was already very familiar to me on the pillow looked very strange today.
Their confident smiles, their crisp movements, their neat and tidy outfits...
These are unfamiliar looks to them!
"Let's start the dishes!" Mrs. Taoyao waved her hand, and the ladies brought out plates of beautifully arranged dishes from the kitchen at a very cheap price, bowls of soups that could not be seen, and bowls of exquisite bowls.
chopsticks……
Only then did Bai Guili react and stood up in panic: "How can we eat here tonight? Isn't this valuable? What a waste! You can't do it! You can't do it!"
The men also stood up one after another, somewhat at a loss.
Chen Qingshan raised his hands and pressed them down.
As if an invisible force fell on everyone's shoulders, the men sat down obediently, but there was still some fear and uneasiness in their eyes.
Qiao Chu took a step forward and said with a smile: "Your own mother-in-law is the one cooking today. We have eaten at home hundreds of times on weekdays. Why can't you afford it today?"
Bai Guili pointed at the exquisite dishes and then at the exquisite dishes: "This... is such a waste!"
Qiao Chu smiled and said: "It's not easy for you to come here in this cold weather. I have to show you how people outside live."
"It's such a waste to invite you to a nearby restaurant. In my own restaurant, you only spend two coins on rice, noodles, oil and meat. What else is there to feel bad about?"
"Has the food been served?" Qiao Chu looked at Mrs. Taoyao.
Mrs. Taoyao smiled and nodded.
"Then ask them all to come out for dinner."
Mrs. Taoyao then went in and asked the ladies to come out for dinner.
I had a late meal in the afternoon, so the timing of this meal was quite appropriate.
But when the women and men sat together with their babies, eating the exquisite dishes in front of them, and drinking the glutinous rice wine that Qiao Chu specially asked Mrs. Taoyao to prepare, the men still shed tears one by one.
Emotions are contagious, the men burst into tears, and the women all had their noses and eyes red, wiping away tears.
The dolls were at a loss, holding their chopsticks and not knowing whether they should eat? Or cry?
Qiao Chu patted the head of one of the dolls: "Everyone eats it. Stop crying."
The children were very obedient and immersed themselves in eating.
But the women and men couldn't help it and were still wiping away tears.
Ju Hua stood up with red eyes and took the lead, holding up the small wine cup: "We are where we are today thanks to Brother Qingshan and Chu Chu. The ladies in our kitchen and front hall all respect Brother Qingshan and Chu Chu..."
So another round of toasting began.
A man quietly asked his wife next to him: "How much money does it cost to sell such a table to guests?"
The mother-in-law replied quietly: "A Yuan Yu."
"hiss……"
The man was so frightened that he held up his chopsticks and paused, not knowing whether he should pick up the food or not!
When they got up early the next day, the men took the New Year's gift from Qiao Chufa, got on the bullock cart one after another, and headed back home.
On this trip, the men saw the baby who had grown much taller, the woman who looked much better than before because she had kept up with her nutrition, and they also ate exquisite dishes that they had never dared to imagine before...
Bai Lin sighed: "I came to Fucheng this time and ate such a good banquet. The wives had a good life, and the children also had a good life... It was really worth dying for!"
Bai Guili kicked him over: "Can you speak? If you can't speak, just close your ass!"
Bai Lin touched his thigh that had been kicked several times and felt very aggrieved: "Village Chief, why do you keep kicking the same place? You kicked me all over here!"
"I'm going to pick a spot when I kick you? Do you want me to break your middle leg?" Bai Guili said and kicked him again in the same spot.
The men burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly changed from a sad farewell to a relaxed and happy one!
A man persuaded with a smile: "Bai Lin, please shut up! Don't turn around and ask the village chief to kick you out of the car and tell you to follow the car home!"
