"It looks delicious, you kid is so humble."
The old lady rarely praised Zhang Jingjing.
At this time, the director of the Public Security Bureau on the side asked: "Is this Chang Qing's wife? At first glance, she seems to be a filial woman. She is a good match for her talent and beauty."
In fact, he knew about the embarrassing things at the wedding scene, but smart people are like this and know how to tell lies.
Zhang Jingjing smiled and nodded at the other party.
"Uncle Wu, thank you very much."
Seeing Zhang Jingjing cope with it with ease, Huo Changqing looked at her with a little more admiration. This woman was quite unexpected, she could give people unexpected surprises every time, so that he didn't even know how many clumsiness Zhang Jingjing had hidden.
Everyone exchanged a few words and then sat down to eat.
The table is made up of two large tables, and the order of seats has been arranged in advance. In some families, lesbians hardly sit at such big occasions, but the Huo family does not follow those bad habits. Men and women are equal and must sit together when eating.
After everything was arranged, Mr. Huo let the old lady speak. After all, today is her birthday and she is the protagonist.
The old lady didn't have stage fright. Just when she was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
Come here, don’t know who is coming?
Zhang Jingjing was sitting close to the door. When she heard the movement, she stood up to check.
Opening the door, unexpectedly it was Zhang Aiguo standing outside.
Zhang Aiguo obviously didn't expect that Zhang Jingjing would open the door for him, and the expression on his face was frozen for a moment.
But he quickly reacted, smiled and said to Zhang Jingjing: "Jingjing, how long did it take for you to come here? You are quite positive."
Zhang Jingjing really didn't expect that Zhang Aiguo would come here so shamelessly on this occasion, but in front of outsiders, she was Zhang Aiguo's daughter, so she couldn't be cold-faced.
"Well, I came here early in the morning."
A sneer appeared on Zhang Jingjing's face and she stepped aside. Now everyone could clearly see who was coming.
Zhang Aiguo was carrying two gift boxes in his hand, whether canned or biscuits. After entering the room, he put the things aside with a flattering smile on his face.
"I heard that the old lady is celebrating her birthday today, so I thought I'd come over and have a look. Is the meal ready?"
He rubbed his hands, but did not sit down shamelessly. He stood aside and said with a smile.
When Huo Changqing saw Zhang Aiguo, his expression turned cold. Thinking of what Zhang Aiguo did to Zhang Jingjing when he went to the army, he wanted to throw his father-in-law into the corridor.
Even though everyone knew it, he still dared to come over and join in the fun. Wasn't he just trying to cause trouble for others?
If you really want to come over to celebrate your birthday, then come over early, put down your things, and say a few words to get out, and they won't say anything, at least they will look at you.
But he came here specifically to grab some food, didn't he just want to take advantage of Zhang Jingjing's relationship to stay and eat?
Although the old man didn't like Zhang Aiguo, he was Huo Changqing's father-in-law after all, so he couldn't be too disrespectful to him, so he asked him to take a seat.
The old man didn't know about Zhang Aiguo's immoral things. Wu Peilan and the others didn't tell the old man about these things. After all, it wasn't a big deal. If they did, it would only cause trouble for the old man.
So Mr. Huo's attitude towards him was pretty good.
Zhang Aiguo didn't even show politeness, he just smiled and sat down. After sitting down, he looked at the leader beside him, his old face almost wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.
"Director Wu, what a coincidence. I didn't expect you to come here too."
Wu Zenglu glanced at Zhang Aiguo, smiled and nodded.
"There is a happy event at the old chief's house, so I must come over."
"Yeah, I'm here to feel happy too."
After exchanging a few words, everyone started using their chopsticks.
Wu Peilan stood up and used a spoon to scoop out a bowl of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall for the old lady and the others.
"Come, try Jingjing's craftsmanship, it should be very good."
The old lady has been craving this bite for a long time. Once people get old and their teeth are weak, they like to eat something light and soft like this.
This was the dish on the table that suited her best.
Take a bite, it's soft and glutinous, the stems are chirpy, and there's an indescribable sweetness.
The old lady's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but give Zhang Jingjing a thumbs up.
"You made this dish well, it's delicious."
The old man was also full of praise. He had known for a long time that his granddaughter-in-law was a good cook, but he didn't expect that she could be so good at it. Even this dish could be served at a state banquet.
Xu Wenxiu's face was very ugly. She was in high spirits before setting off, thinking that she could give Wu Peilan a few words by coming over today. Who gave her family such an unreliable daughter-in-law?
Unexpectedly, this was not the case at all. Not only was Zhang Jingjing not laughed at, but she also showed up at such family gatherings. Even the old couple praised her. This was not what she wanted to see at all.
But with the old man and the others present, she didn't even dare to let out a fart.
She refused to eat it at first, but when she saw everyone praising it, she couldn't help but eat a small bowl. Now she was completely speechless. It was so delicious that she bit her tongue.
Seeing that the dishes she cooked were praised, Zhang Jingjing was also very happy.
Anyone who loves to cook likes to be praised by others. Seeing everyone eating the food they cook and praising it makes me happy as a chef.
"As long as it tastes good, I'll come over to make it later."
While Zhang Jingjing was talking, she did not forget to take care of her three children to eat. With such a good meal, the children should eat more. After all, they are usually very busy and have no time to cook so many dishes.
Everyone was chatting about home affairs while eating, and the atmosphere was very good for a while.
Only Zhang Aiguo, who was standing beside him, had a sinister look on his face, and he looked like he was plotting something.
He is now the captain of the Public Security Bureau. Recently, he heard that someone at the same level next to him was about to be promoted to deputy director. This made him anxious to death.
He has been in this position for several years, and based on his qualifications and background, it is already difficult to move up.
But how could he be willing to miss such a good opportunity? Thinking that the old lady is celebrating her birthday today, I am Zhang Jingjing's biological father after all. I came here to see if I can ask the Huo family to help talk. If I can be promoted by then, I will be very strong in all aspects.
He also inquired in advance and knew that the director was coming, so he came shamelessly to enjoy the meal.
Director Wu is an upright person. What matters most is ability and character. If you want to be promoted, you must rely on your strength. He has tried to use the back door many times but failed.
But he knows that Director Wu respects Mr. Huo very much. He used to be his subordinate. If the other party doesn't listen to him, he must listen to the old man's words.
So I thought I would come over today to see if I could get this thing done.
Although Zhang Jingjing was offended in private, she would definitely not talk nonsense on such a big occasion. Zhang Aiguo knew this and dared to come over.
"Director Wu, I heard that there is a promotion opportunity in our bureau recently. I don't know if it is true or not?"
