"Xiao Tao, you've been busy since you came here. It's really..."
In front of the stove, Tong Xiaolong was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and his hair was specially sprayed with hairspray. It looked so bright that it reflected light, at least it was dazzling than the sun in the sky.
Yang Xiaotao stirred the pot with a shovel and said nonchalantly, "Brother Tong, you are just talking about it."
"With our relationship, it won't be a problem even if we cook dinner, let alone a meal!"
Yang Xiaotao patted his chest and said, but his eyes swept over the group of old people sitting in the living room.
When he and Ran Qiuye brought the Dragon Boat Festival over this morning, Tong's house was already full of people.
And the person in the middle seat is not the eldest sister or who is it?
The people sitting on both sides of her, apart from the old sisters she brought, were finally several of Tong Xiaolong's colleagues who came to help.
Of course, they are all a bunch of rough guys.
The eldest sister is here as Tong Xiaolong’s family member, entertaining guests.
After Yang Xiaotao's family arrived, he heard that the eldest sister was doing well in cooking to entertain guests, so he took off his coat, picked up a kitchen knife, and started cooking!
After all, this is also an opportunity to express yourself!
"Yes, that's because my brother is having an affair."
Tong Xiaolong smiled, with an extra sense of intimacy in his eyes.
"Then let your sister-in-law toast you two more glasses!"
"That's necessary!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled, "By the way, won't the chief come over?"
"The chief has gone abroad!"
Tong Xiaolong whispered, "If it hadn't been for this wedding, I would have gone too!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then smiled and said, "Brother Long, give birth to a son as soon as possible, so that he can follow you out at any time!"
"Hey, I thought so too!"
They both laughed.
On the other side, the eldest sister held the Dragon Boat Festival in her arms, peeled the melon seeds in her hand and stuffed them into her little mouth.
Several old sisters around me watched and laughed.
"The children of the Qiuye family are really good-looking, and they follow their father like a tiger!"
"But the corners of your eyebrows are up to you!"
Several people were talking, not having stage fright during the Dragon Boat Festival, looking at this and that from time to time.
"Dragon Boat Festival, do you want to eat sweets?"
The eldest sister smiled and picked up a piece of white rabbit toffee and waved it in front of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu's head turned with the toffee, then he subconsciously looked inside the room, stretched his head and looked at the stove, then pursed his lips and said nothing.
Everyone around looked at him and laughed.
"It's okay, grandma gave it to you!"
The eldest sister knew what he was looking at, so she immediately peeled off a piece of candy and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Mom said no sweets!"
After eating the Dragon Boat Festival, he said he was not allowed to eat it, which made several old people laugh.
"This little guy, if you don't want to eat it until it's in your mouth, he will follow his father's will!"
The eldest sister smiled, and everyone around her also laughed.
"Grandma, I want two more yuan!"
Dragon Boat Festival stretched out two fingers and muttered.
"Why, your parents don't let you eat too much!"
"I have to take it back to my sisters!"
Duan Wu whispered, and the people around him praised him again.
"Okay, I'll give you two dollars!"
The eldest sister picked up two pieces of toffee and put them directly into her Dragon Boat Festival pocket.
"Now you're a big brother, you know how to love your sister!"
The old man on the side smiled and asked, "Dragon Boat Festival, grandma asks you, do you prefer dad or mom at home?"
Duanwu looked up and thought for a while, "I like them all!"
"Hey, this kid can't offend anyone!"
The old man pursed his lips and smiled, and then asked, "Are you afraid of dad or mom?"
Duanwu glanced at the room, and then whispered, "Mom!"
"Why?"
The eldest sister asked confusedly. In her opinion, Yang Xiaotao has a stronger temperament, while Ran Qiuye is relatively tactful.
Yang Xiaotao should be more strict when it comes to treating children!
So children should be more afraid of their father!
"Mom is so angry! She even asked me to recite ancient poems, but if I can't recite them, I'm not allowed to go out to play. I'm always scared!"
Obviously, Dragon Boat Festival still cannot understand the greatness of maternal love!
"Dragon Boat Festival, that is for you to learn knowledge. Only by learning can you become a useful person!"
"I know, I know! Just like dad reading a book in the house..."
Dragon Boat Festival suddenly shouted, "I also want to read a lot of books!"
Everyone in the room laughed again.
Back room.
Ran Qiuye was cleaning up the house with an old woman. The quilts and pillows were all laid out, with jujubes and peanuts placed on them.
The two of them were busy talking, and they were also talking about the bride who would be picked up later.
Ran Qiuye learned from the old woman that the bride came from a working-class family and had a younger sister and younger brother at home. Her mother died early, so she was considered half a mother at home, which delayed her own affairs.
Speaking of which, the bride is the same age as Ran Qiuye, only one month older.
Judging from this, the bride is indeed an older leftover girl.
But if you look at Tong Xiaolong, it is definitely an old cow eating young grass.
"Mother-in-law, it's almost time, it's time for the bride to go home!"
Ran Qiuye glanced at his watch, it was almost half past ten!
"Don't waste time!"
The old woman picked up the reading glasses on the table and looked up at the clock on the cabinet. Then she smiled and said, "It's okay. The bride's house is about ten minutes away. It's very fast on a bicycle."
"Qiuye, how did you and Xiao Yang meet?"
The old lady was obviously very talkative. After talking about Tong Xiaolong, she started talking about Yang Xiaotao.
"He and I met in the library..."
Ran Qiuye had nothing to hide, but when she talked about what happened back then, she felt very happy.
Fortunately, she did not miss her happiness.
Tong Xiaolong was helping Yang Xiaotao at this time. Looking at Yang Xiaotao's knife skills, he kept nodding.
The potato shreds cut out are even and uniform. This is not only experience, but also the control of strength.
"Brother Tong, aren't you going to pick up your sister-in-law?"
Yang Xiaotao put the shredded potatoes into a basin and waited for cooking, then looked at the time and spoke immediately.
Tong Xiaolong raised his head suddenly, then threw down his chopsticks, "It's almost time to go now!"
After saying that, he ran out. After a while of shouting, several colleagues in the room immediately ran out. Everyone was wearing military uniforms, and each of them had a bicycle with a big red flower tied to the front.
"Brothers, let's go!"
Following the order, Tong Xiaolong got on his bicycle and ran out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yang Xiaotao smiled from behind, "Not positive at all!"
"I still don't know how good women are!"
With a sigh, Yang Xiaotao continued cooking.
Half an hour later, firecrackers sounded outside.
Yang Xiaotao put down the shovel and went out with Ran Qiuye leading the Dragon Boat Festival.
I saw the motorcade coming from a distance, Tong Xiaolong was driving the car at the head, and there was a girl with a red flower in her hair sitting in the car behind. Seeing everyone clapping their hands to welcome them, their smiles were a bit stiff, but I don't know if they were happy.
Still nervous.
As the bride and groom pass through the door, the eldest sister takes the bride in on behalf of the groom’s parents.
The bride was extremely excited to see her eldest sister.
Then everyone swore to be husband and wife under the red flag and the great man.
Then the eldest sister carried Dragon Boat Festival to the back room. The little guy followed the instructions of the adults and rolled back and forth on the bed several times.
Then the bride ate eggs and noodles again. Under the guidance of the old lady and Ran Qiuye, the meal went smoothly.
When it was time for lunch, two tables of wine and food were placed, and everyone sat down and marveled.
"Xiao Tao, thank you for coming here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to cook such a good meal!"
The eldest sister is sitting on the main seat, with the bride and Ran Qiuye on her left and right. She is sitting between Ran Qiuye and Yang Xiaotao during the Dragon Boat Festival!
Hearing the eldest sister's words, Yang Xiaotao shook his head quickly, "Sister, Brother Long asked me to come here just to cook! If you don't believe me, ask him!"
"Yeah?"
The eldest sister smiled, and Tong Xiaolong nodded immediately, "Yes, Brother Xiaotao's skills are not something ordinary people can hire!"
"Of course!"
As he spoke, the two stood up across the table and clinked their wine glasses.
They both finished it in one go!
Then the eldest sister greeted me and started eating.
"Xiaojuan, you marry Xiaolong today, and we will be a family from now on."
"I'm here to bless you!"
The eldest sister held the wine glass, and Tong Xiaolong quickly stood up, "Thank you, eldest sister!"
"Don't worry, eldest sister, I will take good care of this family!"
After the two drank the wine, they sat down and took a few bites.
Yang Xiaotao glanced at Ran Qiuye, and then stood up together.
"Let me say something first. Today's meal is for my sister-in-law. Our family is here. I wish my sister-in-law and Brother Long a long life together, a happy marriage, a son soon, and a contribution to the construction of the revolution."
Ran Qiuye also smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll do it with your sister-in-law!"
The four of them clinked glasses and downed it in one gulp.
As each round of toasts came down, the atmosphere at the table became more and more lively.
After Yang Xiaotao and Tong Xiaolong had a few drinks and were about to end the arm wrestling match, a security guard ran in from outside and said a few words in Tong Xiaolong's ear. Then Tong Xiaolong looked at Yang Xiaotao.
"Xiao Tao, someone is looking for you outside."
Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then saw Tong Xiaolong getting up to say hello, and then followed him out.
"Grandpa?"
When Yang Xiaotao came to the door, he saw Comrade Lao Jin walking around, looking nervous.
For Comrade Lao Jin to find this place, Yang Xiaotao had a bad feeling in his heart.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao come out, Lao Jin, who was a little confused, immediately stepped forward, pulled Yang Xiaotao to the side, and whispered.
"Xiao Tao, something happened to you, your cousin Shengli!"
"Who, Shengli, Zhang Shengli?"
"Yes, it's this boy!"
Comrade Lao Jin looked resentful, and in his resentment there was an added element of hatred.
Compared to Yang Xiaotao, Zhang Kangzhan and his two brothers grew up under his eyes, and they were also looked after by them.
When you start a family and have children, your feelings for them become more integrated into your daily life.
Something happened now. If Lao Jin said he was not in a hurry, that would be a lie.
"Grandpa, what's going on!"
Yang Xiaotao calmed down. The more anxious you are at this time, the easier it is to make mistakes.
Seeing this, Lao Jin told the situation.
"Didn't I call my old brother in Shanghai to arrange things?"
"Then I heard the news from them that this kid Shengli went to the National Cotton Factory and burned down the warehouse of the National Cotton Factory. He is now being imprisoned!"
After saying this, Yang Xiaotao was shocked.
The National Cotton Factory is a key enterprise in the country.
Zhang Shengli is well fed.
But when I thought about it again, I felt that this was impossible.
We are all adults and know the serious consequences.
There must be something wrong with this, otherwise Lao Jin wouldn't have rushed to find him.
"What's the specific situation?"
Yang Xiaotao asked seriously, and Lao Jin shook his head, "I called your aunt and uncle. They don't know the details, they just have a general idea."
"We asked someone to investigate, but the security department of the National Cotton Factory insisted that it was Shengli who did it, and even said that he personally said he would burn down the warehouse."
"Now that they are locked up, I can't even see them!"
"They are also asking for a relationship investigation."
Lao Jin said anxiously.
"Grandpa, are you sure Brother Shengli didn't do this?"
Yang Xiaotao asked softly.
Lao Jin shook his head, "I have watched this bastard grow up since he was a child. In the past few years, he has started a family and started a business, and he has matured a lot. There is no way he can do this kind of thing."
"That's good!"
Yang Xiaotao also didn't believe that Zhang Shengli was letting go of his good life and insisted on doing such illegal things, otherwise his family would be harmed.
"Since it wasn't my cousin who did it, then there's no problem."
"Grandpa, don't worry, you let Shanghai come up with a solution, and I'll come up with a solution here and figure out the situation first!"
"We can also prescribe the right medicine."
Lao Jin nodded after hearing this, and then said, "I'm here to tell you that I have to go back tomorrow."
"Don't tell your grandma for the time being. Just say that the car factory has something to do and I need to go back."
Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this, "Okay, I'll have someone buy you a ticket right now."
