The captain was carrying something to chase, but he had already run away. San Auntie came over, grabbed the thing, and said angrily: "Xiao Shen must like Niannian and wants you to say good things in front of Niannian. Send it here Just keep your things, and from now on you can say nice things to Xiao Shen when you visit Nian Nian. If anything happens to Nian Nian, just tell Xiao Shen in time."
San Auntie didn't know that Shen Xiao and Tang Niannian were already in a relationship. The captain didn't tell her because he disliked her for being lax.
She guessed that Shen Xiao wanted to pursue Tang Niannian so he sent the things, so she accepted them without any courtesy.
"Nian Nian is so lucky. She has a formal job, her salary is still so high, and now she has such a good partner. There is no one in the whole commune who is more blessed than her!"
San Auntie sighed, very envious.
Thinking of her stupid daughter again, her good mood plummeted, and the things in her hands no longer smelled good.
In the past, Hongxing's reputation in the village was much better than that of Nian Yatou. Hongxing was beautiful, hardworking and quick at work. She was a good hand in the fields at home, and she was a junior high school graduate. Who in the village wouldn't praise Hongxing as a good girl?
Although Nian Yatou is pretty, she loves to eat and is too lazy to cook. She has never even washed the dishes. She is spoiled by her second uncle and her mother. She has a bad temper. When Hongxing is seventeen, there is an endless stream of people coming to marry her. Trampled flat.
Now the situation is reversed. Nian Yatou is getting better and better, but Hongxing is so fascinated by the landlord's son that she doesn't even want her parents.
San Bo Niang sighed, when will her daughter figure it out?
Shen Xiao held things in both hands and strode towards Tang's house. It was getting dark. He met many villagers along the way, eating outside with their rice bowls in hand. They all looked at him in surprise, and no one dared to ask.
When Shen Xiao walked away, the villagers started talking quietly.
"Isn't this young man sent by the army? Has Qi Guohua's matter been investigated?" someone asked in a low voice.
"You don't know yet? It has been found out a long time ago that Qi Guohua's eyesight is not good. He passed the military physical examination two years ago by fooling around. His high school classmates said that his eyesight was not good when he was in school and he often lied. What such a person can say is ridiculous. Do not believe!"
"No wonder the Qi family dare not open the door. This is a guilty conscience. Tang Niannian has been unlucky for eight lifetimes. She was engaged to such a traitor. Fortunately, she quit!"
"Who knew before that Qi Guohua has a human face and a beast heart? He looks like a talented person, but he is still a high school student. Many girls want to marry him!"
"Yang Hongling is also unlucky. If you marry such a person, you will suffer from her in the future!"
"A broken pot with a broken lid is not a good thing!"
The villagers' discussion became louder and louder, and Qi Guohua's impression fell to the bottom. There were also several people who lent money to the Qi family and planned to collect the debt after eating.
"Then where did the young man go after carrying so many things? It looks like he was going to Tang Niannian's house!"
Everyone murmured again, very curious about Shen Xiao's whereabouts, but they didn't dare to follow.
"I gonna go see!"
Someone boldly followed him, and after a while, he came back excitedly.
"I went to Tang Niannian's house. The Tang family cooked a lot of dishes. I could smell the aroma from afar, so I just finished a bowl of rice."
The bold villager ate all the rice in his bowl. He ate sweet potato porridge with pickles in the evening. He ate it tastelessly. Just now at the door of Tang's house, the smell of meat filled the air. He finished the meal in three mouthfuls and was still standing there. There is a lot of meaty aroma at the door, save it for tomorrow morning's meal.
"Then why are you going to Tang Niannian's house? We know each other?"
Everyone looked at each other, feeling itchy, planning to ask Mrs. Tang tomorrow.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Tang family was very serious. Except for Tang Niannian, everyone else was sitting upright. Even Mrs. Tang's back was straight, her hands were still on her knees, and she was talking to Shen Xiao solemnly.
It was Shen Xiao's aura that was so strong that they dared not sit upright.
"Xiao Shen, you don't need to buy anything from now on. You're welcome by my family!"
Mrs. Tang spoke much more gently, and she looked particularly satisfied with Shen Xiao's eyes.
Although he is a little dark, he looks really handsome, he is still tall, and he is devoted to his granddaughter. The most important thing is that he will get one hundred and thirty yuan a month. Such a good young man will be her grandson-in-law Zhang Manyue.
All the old ladies in the commune combined could not compare to Zhang Manyue!
Xu Jinfeng and Tang Manjin didn't speak during the whole process. The old couple made the final decision on all the big and small things in the family. After Tang Qingshan passed away, Mrs. Tang was in charge. They just worked and didn't use their brains.
Tang Jijin looked at Shen Xiao curiously, is this his second brother-in-law?
He looks strangely good-looking, but he looks like an ice cube. His teeth freeze when he eats with his second brother-in-law, but it’s okay if his second sister likes him. Anyway, his teeth are good.
Shen Xiao felt the little girl's gaze, glanced at her, and gently twitched the corners of his mouth, wanting to say a gentle hello to the little girl.
It's just that he underestimated his own momentum, and the slight tug was so subtle that it could be ignored. He still had a cold face. Tang Jijin shivered in fright, and quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at him anymore.
"Have a meal!"
Tang Niannian got up and went to the kitchen to get food.
Braised rabbit meat, pheasant mushroom soup, stewed duck with dried bamboo shoots, steamed crucian carp, boiled river shrimp, steamed snails, steamed potatoes, stir-fried vegetables, Xishi tofu, a big table was set up.
Xishi tofu was specially requested by Tang Niannian because Shen Xiao loves to eat it.
This dish is a specialty of Zhucheng. It is served at weddings and banquets. It can be said that no banquet in Zhucheng is complete without Xi Shi Tofu.
