Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 5881 Too polite...

Yang Huazhou snorted coldly, "Never mind him, I'm afraid he hid on purpose again to make us panic, I don't want to eat this, I'm going to go back and lie down for a while, my stomach burns badly after drinking too much wine at noon."

Yang Huazhou left resolutely, Yang Yongjin brothers also took the opportunity to leave, and was called back by his wife to help take care of the children. In the end, only Yang Huazhong, Luo blacksmith Wang Hongquan, and the little old Yangtou were left.

"Do you want to look for it? If you want to look for it, we will help you find it." Blacksmith Luo and Wang Hongquan looked at each other, and Blacksmith Luo asked as the representative.

Yang Huazhong shook his head, "Wait a little longer. If you don't come back after dark, go find him. Besides, Yu Xingkui is by his side, so there will definitely be news."

……

Yujiacun, Yu Xingkui's home.

There were several bowls of appetizers on the table, including a bowl of braised chicken, which Yu Xingkui ordered his wife to kill, saying that it was for Lao Yangtou to drink.

The mother-in-law Zhou cooked the lunch, put it on the table, said some polite words to Lao Yang, and then went back to the kitchen, and ate the dishes left in advance with Yu Xingkui's wife, Zhao, who guarded the pot.

This is the custom of the farmer's family. When guests come to the house, the women only need to cook the food silently and serve it on the table. The hospitality is naturally left to the men in the family.

Women can't show their faces easily, just take the children to eat casually in the kitchen. More traditional people simply wait for the guests to leave after eating and drinking, then withdraw the food and reheat it for the women and children.

So today at Yu Xingkui's house, Mrs. Zhou cooked a chicken and fried a few side dishes, and then returned to the kitchen.

"Mother-in-law, just now when I delivered the food to the main room, that old Uncle Yang asked me to call you to sit and eat at the table, do you want to go?"

In the kitchen, Mrs. Yu's mother, Mrs. Zhao, was sitting on the rolling stone at the mouth of the stove, drinking a bowl of rice soup in her hand, while Mrs. Zhou, her daughter-in-law, squatted aside and asked about the food.

The grandson had already packed a meal and ran to the small river at the entrance of the village to eat and watch other friends play games, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't have any scruples talking in the kitchen.

Mother Yu didn't look up, she sipped the rice soup and said in a muffled voice, "What are you going to do, let's eat your meal."

Zhou was stunned for a moment, feeling bored, laughed dryly and buried her head for a while.

Mother Yu drank the rice soup more slowly, frowning slightly so faintly that she could hardly see it.

In the main room, Lao Yang looked at the food in front of him and was secretly satisfied.

He once again said to Yu Xingkui who was pouring wine for himself: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to divide the meal into several places. You should go and call your mother and daughter-in-law over to eat together!"

Yu Xingkui smiled honestly: "Thank you, Old Uncle Yang, for your concern. I followed your orders earlier, but they said it would be good to stay in the kitchen to eat. Let us guys have a good drink."

Old Yang turned down his face at Yu Xingkui: "You really don't know how to feel sorry for others, look at this day, it's so hot, it's not easy for them to prepare this table for us, and you still let them nest in the kitchen. It’s a sin to eat here.”

"You make another trip and call them over to eat together, otherwise I will feel uneasy eating this meal!"

In order to show his strong determination, Lao Yangtou even put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Seeing the old man's behavior, Yu Xingkui was really surprised, put down the jug and said, "Okay, then I'll call for a look."

Soon, Yu Xingkui and Mrs. Zhou came to the main room together.

Yu Xingkui didn't speak, it was Mrs. Zhou who came to the table and talked to Lao Yang with a smile.

"Old Uncle Yang, I heard from Xingkui that you are still so worried about our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law eating well in the kitchen. You are so concerned, and all the dishes on the table are left in the kitchen. Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are eating very well. You Just drink in the bar when you are old, and there is nothing to entertain you with simple tea and light meals, so please bear with me."

Is this...a polite refusal?
Old Yang put on the face of an elder and said amiably to Mrs. Zhou: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, you are more polite. Uncle Xingkui and I were good brothers who had worshiped him back then. We are also brothers and sisters with Mrs. Xingkui. We The friendship between the two families is not a day or two, it is an old friendship of decades, I come to your house for dinner, that is not to treat you as outsiders, if you also treat me as your own, then eat the dishes in the kitchen Bring it here, let's eat together, eat this thing, reminiscing about the old days while eating, how lively it is, don't you think, nephew and daughter-in-law?"

Zhou's gaze shifted, and then he apologized and said with a smile: "Old Uncle Yang, your friendship with our family is naturally unusual, and we didn't see you this way. It's just that I'm already full, and I don't know how to drink when I'm at the table. , don’t spoil the scenery, let Xingkui offer you two cups for us.”

As soon as the conversation changed, Mrs. Zhou winked at Yu Xingkui, and said loudly, "Xingkui, what are you doing just now, fill up Old Uncle Yang's wine quickly!"

Yu Xingkui came to his senses, and quickly stood up and picked up the jug to pour wine for Lao Yangtou, but Lao Yangtou covered the empty wine cup in front of him with his palm.

"Old Uncle Yang, you..." Yu Xingkui froze with his hand holding the jug, looked at the unyielding old Yang, and then turned to look at Zhou for help.

Zhou's face was also inexplicable, not understanding why this old man was so stubborn.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, old man, I don't often come to your house for dinner, do I? Why is it so difficult to invite your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to eat together?"

"Old Uncle Yang, you are serious, how dare we put on airs, it is your old lady who is being polite..."

Old Yang waved his hand, blocking Zhou's explanation: "Okay, you are a junior and a nephew's daughter-in-law. I won't force you if you don't come to the table. What about your mother-in-law? You should let her come to the table to eat, right?"

"She and I are of the same generation, both are elderly people. I sit here, eat and drink, and let her lie in the kitchen to fool me. How can I drink this wine? You are trying to make me feel at ease. Ah! Hey..."

A long sigh, as if full of too much vicissitudes and helplessness, the cloudy eyes looked directly outside the house, at this moment, the old Yangtou exuded desolation and loneliness, and the braised chicken on the table lost its charm because of this.

Yu Xingkui and Zhou Shi looked at each other, and both of them were in trouble.

One was in the kitchen desperately refusing to come over, and the other desperately wanted her to come over. Was this an intention to embarrass the couple who were caught in the middle?

Zhou could not wait to get mad at Old Yang, wanting to point at his nose and scold him, why does this old man have so many things to eat?

But when I think about Yu Xingkui's errand is given by the old man, the good life that the family is able to live and save money is thanks to the old man. If the old man is offended, I will find an excuse to dismiss Xing Kui, what's the deal?
Just when the couple was in a dilemma, a thin old lady in gray clothes with patches on her shoulders and elbows slowly came to the door of the main room.

The old lady's gray hair is a bit disheveled, and there is a piece of stove dust on her face, but the shape of her face and the outline of her facial features are very attractive. Any man with some experience can guess that when she was young, the threshold of her family was probably [-]%. The matchmaker stepped on...
