The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 78 Family Dinner
When it was time to get off work, Chen Jisheng estimated that the three sisters and Lao Zhong would be back in about half an hour. He was not in a hurry to get a drink and continued to sit and think about things.

Nowadays, not many people arrive late and leave early. Most workers in the steel rolling mill have to walk home. When I think about this, I can't help but think of Widow Qin.

The car Lao Ma gave her was a big [-] in the clothing warehouse. It was useless to keep this thing, so it was just given to her to make her happy and enhance her sense of service.

Just as he said, Chen Jisheng opened the screen door and just put the bicycle out, when he heard the sound of cars outside the courtyard door again.

This old clock was still in a hurry, and the bicycle was too late to push to the back room. Chen Jisheng had no choice but to close the door and walk towards the courtyard gate.

"Hey... Brother, your ears are sharp! I just arrived, and you came out to welcome me.

Come on.

There are still six dishes, all meat dishes, try my serious cooking skills. "

Seeing the silly Zhu who bared his teeth as soon as he got off the car, Chen Jisheng was a little speechless.It was a misunderstanding, and I almost called Uncle Zhong just now.

"Brother Zhu, these food boxes are good. I'll keep these and ask Lao Fan to get some more later."

It was still Li Huaide's jeep, the driver is quite familiar with the road today, there are several food boxes in the back seat, the workmanship is fine, except one is made of bamboo, the others should be made of mahogany.

What Lao Fan did was similar to what Chen Jisheng did. It was good stuff, so he was not polite and left it with the vegetables and the food box.

"Sure! Brother, you are the one! The one who can make Lao Li nod and bow, you are the first person in this steel rolling mill!"

Like Li Huaide, Shazhu also extended his thumb, completely ignoring the driver's expression, and began to hurt Li's deputy director.

"Brother Zhu, most of your troubles are due to your bad mouth. Pay attention, driver Li is here!"

Silly Zhu is useful. It can be used in the future whether as a private chef or as a housekeeper. Seeing the gloomy expression on Driver Li's face, Chen Jisheng joked.

Seeing the driver's flattering smile, Chen Jisheng nodded to him, acknowledging his cleverness.

"Hi……"

Seeing that the driver was listening, Shazhu didn't correct him. He slapped his lips and settled the matter. If this generous look was passed back to the driver, Lao Li would have to write it down.

It was Shazhu's job to deliver food at the factory, so he was quite happy to be able to take it home, and he also took care of setting the table.

After the food boxes were unloaded, the driver handed Chen Jisheng two bottles of Wuliangye and bowed before leaving. Chen Jisheng then returned to the main room carrying the bottles.

"Brother, is it another family dinner? Can we have some drinks next time when we are free?"

Silly Zhu was a little regretful that the cook was not at the family dinner. He wanted to ask this person for something, but he didn't know how to ask.

"Okay! Brother Zhu, we have guests today, so it's not convenient to keep you here. Go home and take care of someone else. A serious daughter, Hong, might not live up to 60 years old. Try it?"

Although the Nuerhong given by Huo Sheng is a twenty-pound jar, there is not much wine left in it, only a little more than half.

The liquor is very thick, but it is still far from the legendary Nengsier.

However, the taste is really mellow, and the aroma is left in your mouth after one sip. The alcohol content is a little lower than that of normal rice wine, and it tastes very palatable.

"Okay! That 60-year-old is a good thing, wait!"

Wiping off the soup on the side of the plate, Shazhu's movements were not slow, and he returned to the middle courtyard in a short time. Within two minutes, he came back with a jar.

"Brother Zhu, just move the hell away!"

Seeing Shazhu carrying a ten-pound jar, Chen Jisheng said angrily, the more you respect this guy, the more he gets on the pole, you are no different from him, he treats you like a brother.

"Brother, this is not a suitable item. Come on, let me take a look at the wine first."

Sure enough, after being scolded by Chen Jisheng, Shazhu relaxed and became much more cordial when he spoke.

"At least six or seven pounds are left."

One jar only weighed more than ten kilograms, and Chen Jisheng was afraid that Silly Zhu would come up and sweep all the good stuff away for him.

"This wine is at least 80 years old, and it was buried in the wet soil of the south. This is the best red wine I have ever seen. Brother, your wine is also a good grape, made of old silver materials, so particular!"

Shazhu is indeed an expert in wine and food. Regardless of the year, he can tell where the wine is stored through the liquid. This is his real skill.

I also got two or three wine grapes from the Huo family's foreign residence. Now I see that there are sensible people like Fuzhu in those wealthy families.

"Half a catty, enough for me to drink. Brother, drink this wine quickly. If you seal it and store it, it won't taste the same."

Shazhu, who had a friendly attitude, was quite sensible. Knowing that Chen Jisheng was going to entertain guests, he just made a suggestion. As long as he could drink half a catty of white wine, three to five catties of rice wine would not be a problem.

"Take three pounds. If there is any left, we can drink it together tomorrow and the day after."

Good wine is ready to be drunk, and the taste will change if it is kept. Chen Jisheng is also good, so Sha Zhu hits more.

Looking closely at Shazhu, she seems to have gained some weight. It seems that Widow Qin has become more honest in her absence and has stopped sucking Shazhu's blood.

The two got about the same, and the three elder sisters also came back. Seeing Chen Jisheng and Sha Zhu together, Chen Xiaobao's face was overjoyed, and the second elder sister also gave him a warm smile. This is another trouble.After seeing off Silly Zhu and asking the three sisters to wash up quickly, Chen Jisheng took the three of them outside the courtyard gate. As soon as they settled down, Lao Zhong's 210 short jeep arrived.

"Uncle Zhong, a rare guest has come to visit..."

He was the pillar, and asked his second sister to stand behind him. Chen Jisheng gave him a meaningful greeting without waiting for Lao Zhong to get off the car.

"Your boy is better than your father now..."

Lao Zhong also knows his own family affairs. This boy from the Chen family will become very powerful in the future. If the castle thing can be done, he, an old guy, will really be in trouble.

The three sisters greeted Lao Zhong one by one, and then led by Chen Jisheng back to the main room and saw the wine utensils placed on the round table.

Only then did Lao Zhong confirm that he was afraid that the boy from the Chen family had taken advantage of him again. How could he have such deep thoughts at such a young age?
"Uncle Zhong, Ner Hong was born in 80, and the craftsmanship of Tan's cuisine is disrespectful.

Second sister, with this elder like Uncle Zhong here, we are having a real family dinner this time. Come on, everyone, sit down. "

Although Lao Zhong is an elder, his previous performance was not good. Chen Jisheng did not let him take the main seat, but took the seat himself.

After asking everyone to sit down one by one, he filled their wine bottles with wine. Each person had a drinking utensil, so they could drink and pour themselves.

"Uncle Zhong, you are here to answer. We won't talk about official matters. We will just drink tonight.

Second sister, our family banquet is still the same as before. If you have any questions, please wait until after dinner. Let’s start! "

Old Zhong wanted to test it out, but Chen Jisheng didn't give him a chance, so he gagged with good wine. As for the second sister, it was nothing more than a big problem and not a small one.

The food tasted good, but Lao Zhong didn't eat much. Even though the wine was good, it wasn't to Lao Zhong's taste. There are a lot of people in the military who like strong liquor.

After glancing at Lao Zhong a few times, he felt that he had a lot of things on his mind, but apart from practical matters, there wasn't much that Chen Jisheng could help him solve, so it was better to let him avoid talking.

"Uncle Zhong, let's drink Wuliangye! This wine will suit your taste."

A family banquet, two bottles of white wine, Lao Zhong wandered away, leaving the loneliness behind, but Chen Jisheng didn't dare to clean up. The people Lao Zhong was worried about were all watched, and he couldn't do it.

"Second sister, if you encounter something difficult again, don't hide it at home. All the things you want are in your room. Tell me quickly. After you finish talking, go and see something."

Now, Chen Jisheng wanted to ask about everything about his second sister, because he was afraid that she would be targeted by someone and cause trouble in the future, which would be too difficult to clean up.

But between siblings, there are always secrets that cannot be revealed. Seeing the second sister feeling lonely, she sighed, fearing that she was the one in school, and was still a little reluctant to let go.

"What's his name? Tell me and I'll show it to you."

Chen Jisheng had a rough idea of ​​what things were in the school. Most of the people who could fall in love in college at this time were Phoenix men, and they came here because of their beauty.

This object will most likely be a betrayal in the future. This is the reason why Chen Jisheng didn't say anything about it. He can't tolerate it here. He has a good sense of appearance, but he is afraid that someone who is very ideal and capable will not know the appearance.

"I know his character, work hard, hey..."

The second sister sighed softly, which also confirmed Chen Jisheng's guess. This is really dangerous. Let's see if we can get rid of it in advance during this period.

After glancing at Chen Xue and Chen Xiaobao, he knew that the information was coming from. Chen Jisheng didn't bother much. The more entangled he was, the more rebellious he became, which was not good.

Let the three of them look at the gifts they brought back. Chen Jisheng told them that he had something to do in the evening and went out. He also had an appointment tonight and was very busy.

After leaving the house, I walked around the front yard. Every family was either eating or washing up, and it was not time to enjoy the cool air.

Chen Jisheng followed the hanging flower door into the middle courtyard. Silly Zhu turned his back to the door and sipped his daughter's red lips with a "tsk tsk" sound. He was quite satisfied tonight.

Widow Qin's house has finished eating, and the children are all there, probably doing their summer homework. Widow Qin is good at this, and knows how to supervise her children, but her evil mother-in-law...

Widow Qin, who was sitting in front of the sewing machine, could not help but turn pale when she saw Xiao Chen appear again. She is still here...

Seeing that Widow Qin saw him, Chen Jisheng turned his feet and saw that no one was paying attention, so he turned and went back to the front yard, then went out and opened the screen door of the outer yard.

"Xiao Chen, let me have a rest..."

Widow Qin followed closely behind her and entered the screen door. However, the wolf-like and tiger-like appearance she should have was not worthy of the name. Instead, she opened her mouth to beg for mercy.

"The car I gave you will be [-] years old if you have more children. I don't like to give you a [-]-year-old car."

Seeing her begging for mercy, Chen Jisheng didn't take any action. He just pointed at the permanent big Erba beside the wall of the small courtyard.

"Really for me?"

For a moment, Widow Qin's eyes lit up, and Chen Jisheng shook his head, urging him, if it wasn't for the coolness to come out later, the time would be bad...

"The invoice is clamped on the spring in the back seat. I'll sign it myself. I don't have time. I'll lock the door when I get back."

When the two of them passed by each other, Chen Jisheng seemed to remember something again. He bit his ear gently and whispered a few words. Widow Qin held the headlight and squatted down as soon as her legs softened.
