"Yes, yes, brother Ley." The villager looked at Lei Tia again, beating the porcelain plate with the chopsticks in his hands as he talked. A breath of alcohol leaked out from his mouth, "Brother Lei, we're all from the same village. Everyone says that, right? "
Lei Tia's face darkened.
Qin Mian raised his eyebrows and looked at the villager.
The other people on the table were a little embarrassed, cursing the villager who was eating Lei Tia's hotpot to himself. Even if they had the chance to make a fortune, they would still give it to their own brothers or friends. Pingbai ruined the harmonious atmosphere on the table.
Wu Di hooked his arm around the villager's shoulder and laughed, "Big brother Qiu, don't just talk, let's toast again! Or are you afraid that when you go back, your sister-in-law will make you kneel in front of a broom? "
"Who's afraid of her?" That person stretched his neck and raised his wine cup as he shouted, "Come here, a mouthful of air!"
"Come, drink again!" The others also went over.
Qin Mian increased his eating speed, and after finishing his meal, he sneaked out while no one was watching, and hid outside the courtyard while hooking his fingers together towards Lei Tia.
Lei Tia put down the bowl and walked over.
Qin Mian pulled him away, afraid that someone else would drink too much and be "taken care of" by them.
"I'm not full yet." Lei Tia was honestly pulled by him.
The sun had just set, and most of the people had already gone to the old mansion to drink their wedding wine. It was very quiet around them.
Qin Mian immediately said: "I'll make you some noodles when we get back."
With that, it was Lei Tia's turn to pull him away.
Qin Mian remembered something, "When we were eating, a woman was staring at us. Who was she?"
Lei Tia thought about it, "Aunt."
"Oh." Qin Mian's reaction was average. At that time, the branch family had also notified their relatives everywhere, but not a single person had entered their house. His relatives did not take him and Lei Tia to heart, and there was no one helping them, so he did not care about them.
After returning home, the two of them were much more at ease than when they were at their old home.
Lei Tia immediately headed towards the kitchen."Wash anything you want, I'll do it."
"You won't, I'll do it." Qin Mian picked out a piece of pork with skin from the beam of the house. This piece of pork was three parts fat and seven parts thin, it was suitable for making meat. He cut the meat into thin pieces and let Lei Tia start a fire. When the oil was boiling, Qin Mian poured the meat into the pot and continuously stir-fried it. When it was at the third maturity, Qin Mian added the ginger and salt into the pot and continued to stir-fry it, at the sixth maturity, he added the vinegar and then the stir-fry. At the seventh maturity, he added the soy sauce and pepper, and when the pot was about to be boiled, he added the appropriate amount of chilli powder. The meat was tender and spicy, the oil bright red.
Qin Mian saw that she was panicking too. She used her chopsticks to pick up two pieces of meat to taste them and praised herself, "Exceptional performance, soft and tender."
Seeing Lei Tia staring at his mouth, he took out a small bowl, picked up a few pieces of meat and gave it to him, "Here."
Lei Tia took the bowl and took the meat from the chopsticks in his hand.
Qin Mian looked at him blankly, "Those are my chopsticks!"
"Yes." Lei Tia did not even raise his head.
Qin Mian glared at him, "You're not going to take another pair?"
"What's the difference?" Lei Tia raised his head, his expression at a loss.
The corner of Qin Mian's mouth twitched, he was unable to say anything. Could it be that letting him tell Lei Tia that the chopsticks you used was kissing me indirectly?
On another pot of Precinct Head cooking noodles. After the noodles were cooked, Qin Mian scooped up the noodles, scooped up a spoonful of broth, added a handful of green onions, and stirred them with his chopsticks. The rest of the broth can be kept for tomorrow, such as today's cold is not afraid of the bad.
"You can eat now." Qin Mian was careful to not let the soup spill onto the stove as he complained.
"I'll carry it." Lei Tia took the lead and placed the bowl on the dining table.
Qin Mian washed his hands and came out, but he did not see anyone around. After a while, he saw Lei Tia coming out of the junk room with a jug of wine.
He could not help but grumble, "Eating noodles and drinking wine."
"Watch as you drink." Lei Tia put down the wine pot, and did not sit down immediately, "My wife, you want to drink too?"
"Nope." Qin Mian shook his head.
Lei Tia only brought a cup of wine over and poured it for himself. Qin Mian had nothing to do so he sat beside him, bored out of his mind, and watched him eat.
Lei Tia seemed to be in a good mood as he slowly savored the wine and noodles.
Qin Mian was anxious and wanted to feed it to him. He was so bored that he went to the kitchen and grabbed a pair of chopsticks from Lei Tia's bowl of meat.
"This is my noodles." Lei Tia said.
Qin Mian provocatively picked up four pieces of meat and put them into his mouth, "What's different?"
Lei Tia shook his head.
Qin Mian proudly picked out all the meat in his bowl and ate it.
Lei Tia did not say a word, holding the white porcelain wine cup with his left hand and the chopsticks in his right hand, he helped him search for meat in the noodles.
Qin Mian's face was burning hot, he put down his chopsticks and suddenly stood up, ran to the sofa and laid down, his heart was thumping hard, he did not dare to look at Lei Tia.
Lei Tia stared at him for a long time before withdrawing his gaze. Then, he turned the cup upside down and focused on eating the noodles. The noodles had been soaked in the soup for too long and had long since rotted away, but he still found them delicious.
"..."
At dawn, after Qin Mian and Qin Mian washed up, they went back to the old house early.
Aside from Madam Du, Lei Xiangren, Lei Xiangyi, Lei Xianglee, Mrs Zhao, Madam Qian and the three children, there was also Lei Daqiang's biological brother, Lei Dagang's family?? including Lei Dagang, Lei Dagang's wife, two sons, two daughter-in-laws, two grandsons and two granddaughters. Back then, when Lei Daqiang and Lei Dagang were separated, they had some conflicts. The relationship between the two families were normal, and the relationship was not close.
Everyone in the room was chatting, and when they saw the two of them walk in side by side, they could only feel their eyes brighten as they simultaneously started talking. The man on the left was tall and had a black hair like ink, wearing a blue robe with a black leather belt around his waist, carrying a red safety net, his expression was cold, his steps steady, and he exuded an aura that could not be ignored; the boy on the right had a jade-like face, lacquer eyes, and was wearing a sky-blue robe with a brown cloak over his sleeves, with two pure white bu y fur on his feet and green satin boots. He gave off the impression that some young master had gone through the wrong door.
Mrs Zhao, Madam Qian, Lei Chuntao and the other few women looked at the two in a daze.
Lei Xiangren's gaze fell on Lei Tia as his emotions became complicated. His eldest brother was older than him, but he looked several years younger. Without the scar on his face, he would be even more handsome and charming. He couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Mrs Zhao in a daze. He was stifled. She raised his foot and gave her a kick.
Mrs Zhao still thought that he was careless, rubbed his leg and complained, "What are you thinking?"
Lei Xiangren snorted, and did not say a word.
After Lei Tia sca ed the room with his eyes, he pulled Qin Mian to an inconspicuous corner and sat down.
Qin Mian also looked around but he did not see the new bride.
Madam Du impatiently sat on the main seat, a little absent-minded as she glared fiercely at the tightly shut door from time to time.
At this moment, the door creaked open, and a smiling Lei Daqiang and a red-clothed Madam Wei walked out together.
Qin Mian looked at Madam Wei and nodded to himself. She was indeed a beauty, it was a pity to be compatible with Lei Daqiang.
Lei Daqiang walked to the main seat and sat down, then casually said: "Everyone is here."
Madam Wei had a bashful look on her face, but she looked very generous. Her actions were not awkward at all as she walked over to Madam Du with light steps and knelt down to give her tea. Although the two of them were wives and had the same status, Madam Du was the first to enter the so this cup of tea should be given to them.
"Elder sister, please have some tea."
Madam Du did not pick up the phone, but stared at her coldly and said coldly: "You still know how to wake up? How can you be embarrassed to have so many of us wait for you? This is the rule of your Wei family? "
The Madam Wei did not feel offended, and said apologetically: "I asked my husband about it yesterday, and she said that my sister usually gets up at the begi ing of the morning. His sister was lost in thought, but she didn't expect her to wake up so quickly."This is sister's fault. Sister will apologize to sister, please have some tea."
Lei Xiangren and the others could only look on silently, not saying a word. It was indeed Madam Du who woke up early. She woke them all up before dawn with the table in the room and the chairs in the kitchen banging on the pot.
Qin Mian laughed silently and glanced at Madam Du gloatingly.
Madam Du's expression froze, she wanted to say more, but Lei Daqiang's face stiffened, "Alright, why aren't you accepting the tea? I have to make breakfast later."
Madam Du could only take the tea and put it down after taking a sip. Unwillingly, she took out two peach wood silver hairpins and said stiffly, "You have to take good care of the old man in the future."
"Thank you elder sister." Madam Wei thanked her politely and passed a pair of exquisite silver earrings to her."This is a little gift from sister, I hope elder sister will like it."
The two silver pearls were not small. They were worth at least one tael of silver, which was much more valuable than the silver hairpin. Madam Du felt slightly more at ease.
Mrs Zhao's eyes lit up, she quickly walked over and held onto Madam Wei's arm, and said affectionately: "Mother, I'm Old Second's daughter-in-law, let me introduce you."These are Eldest Uncle and Eldest Uncle's mother, this is??"
It was from the same generation, the Madam Wei sent gifts one by one, giving him handmade shoes and a bag.
They were all from the junior generation, the Madam Wei had been generous with their gifts, and did not care about them at all. Qin Mian and Lei Tia also took one each.
After the betrothal, the Madam Du said impatiently: "Alright, go cook, we are all hungry." The new daughter-in-law would make breakfast on the second day after entering the house. While checking the ability of the new daughter-in-law to manage the family, she would also lay the foundation for the new daughter-in-law's life in the new home.
Lei Dagang and his family stood up to take their leave.
Lei Daqiang left Qin Mian and Lei Tia to eat breakfast. Qin Mian wanted to watch the show, so the two stayed behind.
When Madam Wei went to the kitchen to busy herself, Mrs Zhao and Madam Qian took the initiative to help. Qin Mianxin understood that these two people must have gone to try and get close with the Madam Wei.
Not even an hour later, Madame Zhao and the Madam Qian began carrying the dishes to the table. Yesterday, there were still a lot of ingredients left for the guests to eat. The Madam Wei had taken care of ten dishes and they were all colourful.
"We can start the meal now." The Madam Wei smiled as she sat down beside Lei Daqiang.
Madam Du said with a straight face: "Madam Wei, you sat in the wrong place. What are you doing with a grown man? "
"Elder sister's words are wrong." Madam Wei turned to look at Lei Daqiang, "Hubby, I feel that we are family, there is no need for us to separate in our own home. It's convenient for me to sit next to my husband so I can take care of him, right? Second and Third sat together with their wives to help cultivate their relationship. In the future, they would give birth to a few grandchildren. Husband, what do you think? "
"You're right." Lei Daqiang nodded, "In the future, we will not separate men and women eating together anymore, but we will still have to split the tables. I will sit with your mother, your mother, Chuntao, and the rest at the other table."
The Madam Wei warmly invited the Madam Du."Elder sister, come over quickly."
Madam Du's face was ashen. She could not tolerate it any longer and was about to get angry.
Lei Chuntao quickly walked over and pushed her to sit on the other side of Lei Daqiang to comfort her.
The Madam Wei helped Lei Daqiang to pick up a bowl of Red Braised lamb, and said with a smile: "Master, the lamb can be used for nourishment, eat more."My culinary skills are pretty good. In the future, I'll make a few more dishes to properly supplement your cooking skills."
"Good, good." Lei Daqiang laughed as he felt that marrying this wife was the right decision.
Lei Xiangren stuffed several chopsticks into his mouth as he praised, "My cooking skills are really not bad."
"I think so too, " Mrs Zhao chimed in."These vegetables are also good at stir-frying, so you should put more oil on them to make them taste better."
Madam Qian said in a low voice, "If only this young lady was the one cooking in the future."
Lei Xiangyi glared at her, and scolded her in a low voice: "Shut up!" He knew that his own mother would fry vegetables to save oil, but Madam Qian should not have said that in front of so many people.
Qin Mian glanced at Madam Du's dark face, and then glanced at Madam Wei's smiling face. He was in a great mood. He was very sure that Madam Du would no longer have the time to find trouble with him and Lei Tia in the future. As for what would happen to the old house, he didn't care at all.
"Brother Tia, I've finished eating."
Lei Tia nodded, he put down his chopsticks and stood up.
"Father, Mother, and Little Mother, we've finished eating. We'll be going back now. You guys eat slowly." Qin Mian was extremely polite.
The Madam Du did not make a sound.
Lei Daqiang only nodded.
On the other hand, Madam Wei stood up and faintly discernable Qin Mian and Lei Tia didn't even eat a bowl of rice, as she said with a smile: "Alright. Come back and visit whenever you have the time."
