Chapter 464: If you don't work hard, you will be looked down upon
Jiang Changxi slapped his forehead, knowing that in this era, this multiple-choice question was fatal, so he changed his mind and said: "Then tell me, I like to eat pork ribs, and your uncle likes to eat roast duck. If I ask you to cook only one dish, which one will you cook?"
Mrs. Jiang San's head was numb when she heard it. How could there be so many choices? "How old are you, and you are still so naughty?"
Mrs. Jiang San is very depressed. She can't do one thing, and two of them? What is the daughter thinking about when she has nothing to do?
Jiang Changxi originally thought that her mother-in-law must always be thinking about her, and she was just willing to be good to her uncle. Now looking at Mrs. Jiang’s reaction, Jiang Changxi felt that she was overthinking: “No, you have to choose one, and you can’t be vague about it.
"
Mrs. Jiang San slapped the table and said boldly: "Well, it's not like our family is short of money. I can't let my uncle and daughter eat smoothly?"
Then Jiang Changxi ran away in a hurry without waiting for anything to say. If the girl got serious, she would be so unyielding. This question was too fatal, and she didn't choose any one.
Mrs. Jiang San also went over to discuss it with her sister-in-law. Today’s banquet must include pork ribs and roast duck. Her third-bedroom daughter-in-law likes it.
She paid for it herself, and she had to satisfy her uncle and daughter. She didn't want to make this choice anymore.
Mrs. Jiang was very embarrassed when she heard that the pork ribs were being prepared on the table. The pork ribs were not suitable for serving on the table. There was no meat in them.
But my brother and sister insisted that my uncle likes to eat, so they can only make an exception once.
But I still have to tell the kitchen to make the pork ribs taller. These days, the pork ribs cannot be served on the banquet.
The kitchen staff were embarrassed when they heard the master's request. They had eaten this thing themselves, but they had never made it for the master. It was not easy to make it high-end.
In the end, it was the noble girl next to Sanniangzi who asked for advice, and she made the ribs and served them to the table.
God knows, Jiang Changxi just mentioned the two dishes casually as a metaphor. He really didn't think about how it would make people so embarrassed.
Mrs. Jiang San has completely shifted the focus of the problem and asked her to make choices, not dishes.
At the banquet, Mrs. Jiang was particularly happy. It was said that this year all the husbands of the Jiang family, except Chang Le, would go out to test the waters.
In Mrs. Jiang's opinion, maybe the Jiang family is going to have a few talents. The glorious lintel is right in front of them.
Therefore, Jiang Changxi and other ladies and uncles are very pleasing to the eye. They are all studying, and my husband is much better than these uncles.
Facing Zhou Lan, the granddaughter-in-law who was talked about so much by her third son all day long, she could open her eyes and take a good look at her.
Of course, the main reason is that Mrs. Jiang still feels that her grandchildren are more literati, and more likely to become famous in one fell swoop.
The specific manifestation is that Mrs. Jiang asked Zhou Lan: "Your body seems to be strong. Do you spend all your time playing with guns and sticks? I would say that scholars should spend their time reading.
Learn more from your uncles."
Zhou Lan lowered his eyebrows and did not argue, "Grandma said that my grandson-in-law learned from his uncles."
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang still praised her and said a few more words: "I heard that you have a 'word'. Your husband gave it to you."
Zhou Lan replied respectfully again: "Replying to my grandmother's words, I thank you for not giving up and choosing the name Mingde."
Mrs. Jiang was immediately in a bad mood. If her grandchildren had such a gentleman to escort them, the scientific examination would be more confident. It was a pity.
It's all my fault that my third son's elbows are turned outward. I don't know how serious it is. Such a good gentleman was given to an outsider. The uncle always has a foreign surname, and the third son is just unscrupulous.
When Mrs. Jiang thought of this, she turned away and ignored Zhou Lan. She is so casual.
Mr. Jiang San's forehead was filled with anger when he saw it. My uncle was actually ignored in this way.
I know she is a lonely old lady from a declining family, but I don't know she is a queen mother. I don't know when she got used to this problem. She is not very capable, the family is not prosperous, and she dares to be arrogant.
Mr. Jiang was embarrassed. The whole family was full of spoiled customers. Let’s not talk about whether he would be able to achieve anything. His own ladies were living in the hands of others. For the sake of their own lives, he should take a high look at these spoiled customers.
Seeing Mrs. Jiang's attitude, Mr. Jiang wanted to shout, "That mother-in-law of mine."
After all, she was an old mother, and her sons were not satisfied and could not embarrass Mrs. Jiang on such an occasion, so the scene was quiet for a while.
It was Jiang's second brother-in-law who came to rescue Zhou Lan: "Let's make an appointment with the future sixth brother-in-law some other time and let's relax for a day."
Zhou Lan: "Then why don't you invite your sixth brother-in-law out and ask your husband to help you with your homework? Second brother-in-law, you are the eldest sister's father. From now on, our eldest sister's dowry will depend entirely on you, so we can't relax."
Master Jiang San saw that his uncle didn't take this matter to heart, so he continued to eat there.
Second brother-in-law Jiang pursed his lips and said with a sigh of relief: "Can't you just let me relax for a while? It's Chinese New Year."
Zhou Lan: "That can't be done. Our brothers-in-law should work hard and not be looked down upon by others."
Second brother-in-law Jiang looked up at Mrs. Jiang over there and nodded solemnly. Undoubtedly, this old grandmother looked down upon him even more.
Didn't you see that he was talking to his third brother-in-law? He, the husband of the county magistrate, could not catch the eyes of Mrs. Jiang at all.
Thinking of this, the second brother-in-law Jiang said: "This will disturb the husband. I also ask the third brother-in-law to speak kindly to the brother-in-law in front of the husband."
Zhou Lan: "Second brother-in-law, don't worry, sir, I'm not afraid of disturbing you." During the Chinese New Year, my husband was so lonely that he watched his disciples wrestling.
Brother Jiang's second brother-in-law immediately said: "I'll go talk to the sixth brother-in-law. He must be very happy. I don't know when the sixth brother-in-law will be able to cross the road. Then we will get closer as brothers-in-law."
At least we can face the uncle-in-law of the Jiang family over there together. Brother-in-law Jiang wants to quickly strengthen his brother-in-law's team.
Zhou Lan felt sad, at least at this time, he didn't have to face Mrs. Jiang's special eyes alone.
Chang Le didn't know when he came over. He stared at Zhou Lan and Jiang Er's brother-in-law: "What are you talking about?"
Zhou Lan and Jiang's second brother-in-law didn't expect Chang Le to come over at this time. Obviously, they didn't have the same topic as their brother-in-law, so they both said, "I didn't say anything."
Jiang Changle rolled his eyes, seeing that this reaction showed a guilty conscience: "So what you really said was about me."
Zhou Lan and the second brother-in-law Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: "This really doesn't exist."
Jiang Changle: "That's it, what exactly did you say? Looking at the looks of you two, I know you didn't have a good idea."
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, so Zhou Lan sold his second brother-in-law in a blink of an eye: "The second brother-in-law wants to be more relaxed, so I said we should study together with Mr. Xi."
