At the end of February, Bai Churong brought over the planned menu to show Tan Yue and Tian Shao. Bai Churong had changed this menu several times, and it was neither ostentatious nor embarrassing.
Tian Shao looked at it and saw that there were eight dishes and one soup on the menu, namely steamed fish, mandarin duck chicken, roast duck, soy sauce pig trotters, boiled shrimp, the remaining three were vegetables, and one was ginkgo pork belly soup.
Bai Churong explained: "Xiao Shao, these dishes are not as rich as yours. It's just that weddings here in Sijiu City are very simple. These eight dishes and one soup are already very rich."
Tian Shao has no objection to the menu, but she has an idea, which is to add a pastry and a fruit platter to the table.
No matter what, the plates at a wedding banquet in Sijiu City cannot be less than those in the countryside! Otherwise, it will not sound good when it comes to public opinion.
Naturally, Bai Churong would not refuse, but the fruit platter was easy to make, but the pastries were not easy to make: "I have already hired a chef, but to make pastries, I have to hire an additional pastry chef. Time is so busy, it is difficult to hire good pastries.
master."
Tian Shao smiled and said: "We have ready-made candidates for the pastry chef, so there is no need to hire additional ones."
She had already told Aunt Zhang that she would be invited to come over and make some pastries during the wedding banquet. Of course, at that time, she did not plan to put them on the dining table, but to serve them as a treat for guests. Now that they are served as a snack, it must be
Make more preparations. Fortunately, the home is big enough, so it’s no problem to do whatever you want.
After the menu was decided, Bai Churong took out a list of people who were coming to the wedding banquet: "These are our relatives and old friends. You should memorize their information first, and I will give it to you on the day of the wedding banquet."
Make introductions.”
That day was to introduce Tan Yue to everyone on the old man's birthday. No one expected that Tan Yue was so stubborn and hid outside in order not to attend the old man's birthday. Even though his relatives and old friends knew about Tan Yue,
, but I have never seen him and don’t know what he looks like.
Seeing that Tan Yue didn't move, Tian Shao stretched out his hand to take the list and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Tan Yue and I will know these by heart."
The old friends who can interact with the Tan family must have high status. It is beneficial for Tan Yue to have a good relationship with these people. As for herself, she probably has no need for them.
Bai Churong looked at Tan Yue, thought about it and said, "Lao San, the old man is also coming to your wedding banquet."
This was what Tan Yue had expected. He said, "If he wants to come, he will come. However, don't let irrelevant people come."
It's self-evident who this irrelevant person refers to. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Wang Hongfen cast such a shadow on him that he now doesn't even want to see Qu Yan.
Seeing his attitude, Bai Churong said tentatively: "Third brother, the old man has a stubborn temper. If you don't invite him in person, he won't come."
When Tan Yue heard this, he immediately said: "It's better this way, so that I won't say anything unpleasant and he won't be able to bear it and he will be sent to the hospital. Sister-in-law, if you ask, just say that he is not in good health and can't come."
Bai Churong looked at Tian Shao as if asking for help, wanting her to help persuade him, but unfortunately she was disappointed, Tian Shao did not speak.
She sighed and said: "Lao San, Xiao Shao, I will ask others to prepare the ingredients on the menu. As for the fruits and pastries, you have to prepare them yourself."
Tian Shao smiled and agreed. Now, unlike in the past, grain, oil and other supplies are sold in supply and marketing cooperatives, but they are also available outside. It's just that the price is higher when you buy them outside.
The most important thing she came here to do this time was not completed, so Bai Churong wanted to go back and tell her husband quickly: "Tan Yue, Xiao Shao, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
Tian Shao sent her out.
When they got outside, Bai Churong held Tian Shao's hand and whispered: "Xiao Shao, the old man has a stubborn temper. If Xiao Yue doesn't invite him herself, he really won't come to the wedding banquet."
Tian Shao really didn't care about this: "Sister-in-law, the old man is weak and doesn't like to make noises. If this wedding banquet is not noisy, it wouldn't be called a wedding banquet. So I think it would be better if the old man doesn't come. Otherwise, he will feel uncomfortable in the middle.
By then, the wedding banquet will be cast in a shadow."
None of this made sense, and Bai Churong was helpless.
When Tan Xingguo came back from get off work, Bai Churong told him about their attitudes: "Xingguo, go and persuade the old man. It was his fault that happened in the first place, so just apologize!"
She could finally see that if the old man didn't apologize, Tan Yue would be in trouble. If he wanted the family to live in harmony, the old man had to bow his head.
Tan Xingguo shook his head and said: "After all these years, you still don't know what the old man's temper is like? You can't even try to make him bow his head by holding a wooden warehouse against his head."
Bai Churong said a little irritably: "What happened back then put a thorn in Lao San's heart. If he doesn't apologize, the thorn will not be pulled out. Xingguo, just tell him that blood is thicker than learning. As long as he bows his head and apologizes, Lao San will forgive him."
His. From now on, our family can become one."
Tan Xingguo was silent for a moment and said, "I'll give it a try!"
When Mr. Tan heard that Tan Yue did not want him to attend the wedding banquet, he was so angry that he banged his cane on the ground: "I am his father, and he didn't ask me to go to get his wife. He is not afraid of losing face, but I still find it embarrassing!"
Tan Xingguo pretended to be helpless and said: "Dad, please have a good talk with the third child. The third child is cold-faced but the most emotional. As long as you tell him your original concerns, I believe he will understand."
Mr. Tan snorted coldly and said, "I have nothing to talk about with him."
Tan Xingguo knew his temper and couldn't force himself: "Dad, the third child is your biological son. If you have any difficulties with what happened at the beginning, just explain it to him. If you don't have any difficulties, just apologize to him. Dad, you also want us to
The three brothers are of the same mind and can support each other in the future. But if you don't untie the knot in his heart, he will never be able to have a heart-to-heart relationship with me and the second brother."
Mr. Tan looked at him and asked, "Do you also think I did something wrong?"
Tan Xingguo was silent for a moment before saying: "Dad, I know you must have something to hide. But I think that if you really have something to hide, you can secretly tell him his identity and the reason why we don't recognize each other for the time being. In this way, the third child can also
I won’t be so resentful towards you.”
Based on the situation at that time, he actually guessed the reason why the old man did not recognize Tan Yue in the first place. The situation at that time was that it was right not to recognize Tan Yue. After all, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. The old man's intention was good, but his method was wrong.
Mr. Tan said: "Do you know that there is a reason why I don't recognize him? He couldn't think of it?"
Tan Xingguo said: "Dad, in the eyes of the third child, you don't recognize him because you don't care about him because you have more sons..."
"What about Tian Shao? She is so shrewd, there is no way she would have thought of it unexpectedly."
Tan Xingguo smiled bitterly and said: "She knows what the third child has been through these years, and she feels extremely distressed. It's good that she just keeps silent without being angry."
How could they not guess that both of them were so smart, but Tan Yue had a grudge, so Tian Shao asked the old man to lower his head.
It's the end of the month again, time flies so fast.
