Chapter 48 Delicious Irresistible
On the night when his parents returned to the fishing village, in order to avoid being scolded by his parents, Xu Haibao came up with a way to invite village cadres to have dinner at home, hoping to escape being scolded by his parents.Someone can help to say something nice, which can somewhat reduce the firepower.

Although Xu Haibao's current age, replaced by other peers of the same age who married early, it is estimated that he would also be the child's father.But in Xu Haibao's view, parents are always parents, and if parents are less angry, it is what a son of man should do.

Looking at her son who was busy in the kitchen, Xu's mother, Zhu Fen, who came back from the third aunt's house, saw through Xu Haibao's tricks at a glance.But after chatting with the third aunt, Zhu Fen was no longer as angry as when she just returned to the village.

After all, when she visited the village earlier, she often heard the seven aunts and eight aunts in the village praise her for raising a good son!
Facing the third aunt who was going to help in the kitchen, Zhu Fen said directly: "Amin, forget it, let this kid do it! This kid can't do anything else, and his cooking skills are not bad. For tonight's meal, let him do it!"

The third aunt who heard this said with a smile: "You are really willing! Baowa can cook?"

"Before he joined the army, this kid knew how to cook. After I came back, I ate a few meals he made, and they tasted good. He is especially good at cooking seafood. Let him cook the meal for dinner tonight. I want to please his old man!"

Accompanied by Zhu Fen's words, Xu Haibao, who was processing seafood in the kitchen, also felt that his mother really knew him too well.On the other hand, the third aunt, who heard this, felt that Zhu Fen did have a way of teaching her children.

Fortunately, Xu Qingya felt sorry for her elder brother, so she also went into the kitchen to help.When Xu Liyan returned home from the pier and saw the pair of sons and daughters busy in the kitchen, he naturally knew what the brothers and sisters were thinking.

He greeted his third uncle Xu Licheng who came back with him to sit down and drink tea, but ignored the busy brothers and sisters.Until Xu Mingcheng, the village chief, and Du Jianyu, the commander of the militia company, entered the house, Xu Liyan, who was the host, also warmly received them.

When Xu Mingcheng came home and changed into clean clothes, he saw Xu Liyan and his wife sitting in the yard, but they didn't see Xu Haibao's brother and sister.A little curiously said: "Li Yan, where are Bao Wa and Ya girl?"

"It's in the kitchen! That bastard can play tricks like this! Brother Cheng, Ah Yu, let's sit down and have a cup of tea first! That bastard's cooking skills are pretty good, and we probably won't start eating until later. Don't be in a hurry, right?"

"Brother Yan, Sister-in-law Fen, you are so lucky! If my kid can be as sensible and filial as your Baowa, I guess I'll wake up with a smile in my dreams!"

Du Jianyu who came with him was younger than Du Liyan.Thinking that Xu Haibao was only a few years older than his son, but in comparison, his son who went to work in the city broke his heart.

"Ayu, doesn't your kid work in the city? I heard that he can still work!"

"What can you do? People in their twenties can't even earn the money they use. If I knew that kid was so unbelievable, I should have sent him to the army when he graduated from high school."

When it comes to his son who graduated from high school, Du Jianyu really hates iron.Other people's children go to the city to work, and occasionally send money back home.After his son went to work in the city, he called him from time to time to send money.

In contrast, Xu Haibao, who is only a few years older than his own son, has been a soldier for five years, and the 20 he paid when he came back did not use his family's money at all.With this comparison, Du Jianyu was naturally even more dissatisfied with his son.

For many parents, everyone wants their children to be successful.In the early years, Xu Liyan, Du Jianyu and others were also very close playmates.However, now that everyone is a father, they can only count on the next generation.

Facing Du Jianyu's helplessness, Xu Liyan also smiled and said: "Ayu, the child is still young, let him spend a few more years outside, I believe he will be sensible. If he is really ignorant, find a chance and ask him to come back and play a few games." Tianyu, if you believe him, you will know the hardships of life."

Although he had been working in the city for some years, Xu Liyan had a high prestige in the village in his early years.After all, compared to the education background of Xu Mingcheng and others, Xu Liyan also went to technical secondary school in his early years, so he was one of the few people with education background in that era.

It was precisely because of his technical secondary school education that Xu Liyan had the opportunity to go to the city as an apprentice, and after he got married, he went to work in a factory.Even if he returns to the village now, Xu Mingcheng and others are still very polite to him.

After all, Xu Liyan, who went to the city, always regarded himself as a person from a fishing village.If someone from the village came to the city and needed help, many people would first think of Xu Liyan for help.For this matter, Zhu Fen often complained to him.

Even when returning to the village, after learning about Xu Haibao, Zhu Fen said straightforwardly: "There is a son who is as old as he is. A father is a warm-hearted person who will not refuse, and a son is even better." Stupid, giving away money for no reason!"

While everyone was chatting, Xu Haibao looked at the remaining two dishes, and said very directly: "Girl, you can serve dinner. Let parents entertain the guests on the table, prepare to serve and start eating, there are only two vegetables left gone."

"Okay! Can you serve out the dishes in the steamer?"

Compared with Xu Haibao's fried dishes, Xu Qingya's most concerned dishes are grouper and lobster in a large steamer.For her, the other dishes and seafood prepared tonight are just a foil, and the real protagonists are grouper and lobster.

Xu Haibao who heard this was also very speechless: "I really can't forget it! That's enough, take out the bowls and chopsticks first, the fish and shrimp in the steamer can't escape. Wait for me to serve it, the thing just came out of the pot and it's hot very, you know?"

"Well! Okay, I see, thank you for your hard work, brother!"

After preparing the bowls and chopsticks for dinner, Xu Qingya said in a timely manner: "Dad, Mom, it's time to serve dinner!"

When Xu Liyan, who was sitting in the courtyard, heard this, he also got up with a smile and said, "Brother Cheng, Ah Yu, the third child, let's go in and eat and chat! Try that bastard's craftsmanship, the seafood he makes still tastes very delicious." Not bad."

"Okay! When Baowa came back earlier, I knew he got lobsters on Xia Island. Speaking of which, we fish at sea all year round, but we rarely have the chance to catch lobsters. Today, we can finally eat meat!"

Compared with the early years, there are a lot of lobsters on Xiadao, and if you put some shrimp pots down every day, you can catch a few of them.Nowadays, it is really difficult to catch lobster near Shrimp Island.But this time, Xu Haibao actually caught four of them, which is really rare.

After everyone was at the table, Xu Mingcheng, the oldest, took the host and guest seats.Even if Xu Mingcheng is not the village head, in terms of age, among the people who are having dinner tonight, Xu Mingcheng is also the oldest in terms of age and seniority!

Seeing the dishes that Xu Qingya brought out from the kitchen one after another, Xu Mingcheng also smiled and said, "Girl Ya, did your brother cook all these dishes?"

"Yes! Uncle Cheng, how are you doing? My brother is a good cook, isn't he?"

"Well, it looks good. But I still want to try your handicrafts when I come today? Did you cook these dishes?"

When asked Xu Mingcheng to ask this question, Xu Qingya blushed and said, "Uncle Cheng, I can only steam seafood, not stir-fry! You will try my steamed fish later, you will definitely like it!"

"Really? Then I really have to taste it!"

While chatting and joking with everyone, Xu Haibao seemed a little speechless about Xu Qingya's steamed seafood.After all, he packed up the seafood and asked Xu Qingya to help put it in the steamer.

Even after the ingredients are out of the pot, Xu Haibao handles them all by himself.Unexpectedly, Xu Qingya, who put the seafood into the steamer, directly obliterated his credit without blushing and heartbeat.Thinking of this, Xu Haibao really couldn't laugh or cry.

When Xu Haibao opened the steamer, he brought out a big fish plate and put it on the table.Seeing the fish on the plate, Xu Mingcheng was also very surprised and said: "Grouper? Such a big grouper? Baowa, where did you get this fish? It doesn't look like you bought it!"

"Uncle Cheng, I caught this. It's wild. Try it out. It's rare now. Even if you're the village head, you probably won't have the chance to eat this! You eat it first, and I'll serve the lobster as well." come over."

He smiled and said that the big grouper was wild, but Xu Haibao didn't say he fished it there.The heat and aroma of the steamed grouper still whetted everyone's appetite, and they raised their chopsticks one after another.

As a piece of fish entered his mouth, Xu Mingcheng felt that the fish was extremely delicious, tender and refreshing, but also full of strength.As an old fisherman, Xu Mingcheng asked himself that he had eaten a lot of wild grouper, but he had never eaten such a delicious big grouper.

Just when Xu Mingcheng was experiencing the deliciousness of this big grouper, looking at Xu Qingya and Xu Liyan and others who were not stopping, he finally realized that the fish seemed to have a lot of weight.But if you don't put your chopsticks down quickly, it will probably disappear in a while.

Even if you think this kind of eating is a bit indecent, seeing that Du Jianyu is also eating fish, Xu Mingcheng quickly joins the ranks of grabbing fish.Faced with this delicious seafood, everyone seems to have lost interest in chatting.

There is only one thought left in my mind, that is to quickly move my chopsticks and take the opportunity to eat two more bites.If you start slowly, it is estimated that there will be nothing left.Xu Haibao, who saw this scene, also knew that the seafood raised by Wumingzhu was irresistibly delicious!
