Chapter 13 Warm Hospitality

Xu Shiyan and his wife were driven into the house to rest by Mrs. Feng. On the other side, Su Anyu picked cherries and peaches. Su Anmin poured tea for her brother-in-law and chatted with them.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Feng, Mr. Han and others were frying and frying, and all kinds of aromas were wafting out.

No matter who passed by and smelled it, their mouths would water with greed.

At eleven o'clock, brothers Su Weicheng and Su Weizhong, who were working in the fields, and Su Anying's cousin Su Anbang came back together.

The rules here in the Northeast are that if a guest comes to your home, you must find relatives and friends to accompany the guest.

Su Weicheng is Su Anying's uncle, so he must be invited to such a scene.

"Hey, brothers and sisters, what are you cooking for lunch? I can smell the aroma from all the way. It's so delicious." Su Weicheng asked loudly as soon as he entered the door.

"There are many, brother, Anbang, come in quickly and wash your hands. Dinner will be served soon." Han greeted everyone with a smile.

Xu Shiyan also came out of the room and greeted and chatted with Su Weicheng and Su Anbang. The few men gathered together and had countless topics to talk about.

Xu Shiyan has changed the image of being honest and silent in the eyes of others. Although he does not talk too much, he can still talk about every topic appropriately.

The men were chatting in the room, and the women were hurriedly cleaning up in the kitchen. Before long, the meals were all ready.

A Kang table was placed on the Kang in the east room, and various dishes were served one after another.

The first dish is naturally chicken stewed with mushroom vermicelli. They say that when my uncle came in, the chicken lost its soul, and this is true.

Mr. Han was willing to kill the big rooster at home, stewed the hazelnut mushrooms picked last autumn, and added some vermicelli.

A large soup bowl was used to fill a bowl of qiaojianer and placed in the center of the table. The aroma wafted out with the heat.

Then there is bacon stewed with beans and potatoes. The meat is naturally leftover from the pig slaughter last winter.

I ate them all without giving up, salted them and put them away, and took them out for use today.

Small river fish stewed in soy sauce, needless to say, this must have been brought back by Su Anmin.

Stewed with home-made soybean paste, sprinkled with green scallions and red chili peppers, the sauce is full of spiciness and is definitely a great addition to rice.

Pan-fried stuffed tofu, white and tender tofu is stuffed with minced luncheon meat, and fried on both sides until golden brown.

Add the soup to thicken the soup and sprinkle with chopped green onion. It looks particularly appetizing.

Braised pork and cabbage, green cabbage stewed in canned braised pork, with some tender tofu and thin vermicelli in it.

The scrambled eggs with fungus have a lot of green onions cut into them, and are paired with black fungus and golden eggs, which also exude an alluring aroma.

The last highlight was of course the cricket tofu soup, which was served directly in a white enamel basin without using a soup bowl.

The color combination of red, yellow, and green, and the fragrant aroma will make people's index fingers move.

In June and July in the Northeast, there are really not many types of vegetables, and there is no need to think about fresh pork. Even if you have meat tickets, you can't go all the way to the county town to buy meat.

People say, "Four dishes and one soup, cadres go to the countryside."

The six dishes and one soup in front of you are basically hard dishes, as well as golden and fragrant rhubarb rice, which is definitely of a very high standard.

It can also be seen that Han and Feng really put a lot of effort into cooking the cans that Xu Shiyan brought before putting together this table.

"Come on, come and get on the kang. Shiyan, sit next to your father. This table has good food, so you can have a good drink at noon. Yingzi, come and sit too."

At this time, we can see the role of accompanying guests. Without accompanying guests, the atmosphere will not be lively.

After the food was set, Su Weicheng asked Xu Shiyan to take off his shoes and get on the kang, and asked Su Anmin to boil a pot of wine and fill it for everyone.

Su Anying shook her head hastily, "No, uncle, my mother, my mother, and my uncle are all eating in the West Room."

There is no rule in the Northeast that women do not serve at the table, but men and women generally sit at different tables. When guests come to the house, men and women are separated.

The same goes for the Su family. There are men all over the table in the east room, and there is also a table on the Kang in the west room. Mrs. Han and Mrs. Feng are leading their daughters and daughters-in-law to eat here.

Of course, the dishes in the West House are not as good as those in the East House. There are only four dishes and one soup. There is no fried stuffed tofu or scrambled eggs with fungus. There is no braised pork in the cabbage.

Even so, it is a delicious dish that is not seen on ordinary days, and it is delicious.

Mrs. Feng kept adding vegetables to Su Anying's bowl, and even specially selected several pieces of chicken for her.

While eating, I asked Su Anying how the Xu family treated her after she got married.

Su Anying was sincere and told the story about Xu Shiyan and Mr. Xu having a falling out and splitting up and living separately on the second day of their wedding.

Hearing this, Feng and Han were both stunned.

These days, not many sons take the initiative to split up the family. If such a commotion occurs, Su Anying will be criticized.

Of course, there is also an advantage, that is, Su Anying does not have to deal with her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law when she is married, and she does not have her parents-in-law to weigh her down, so she can live a comfortable life.

"Although you are separated, you can't be too distant from the Xu family.

I can't bear to look down on you, as a new wife you have to be sensible." Han thought for a while and said.

"Your father-in-law is difficult to get along with, but your mother-in-law is nice.

If something happens over there, don't hide away, go over and help, it will look good to outsiders, and people in the province will always talk about it."

After all, Mr. Han is at this age and has experienced a lot, so he has to give Su Anying a few words of advice.

Regardless of whether she is biological or not, she is the daughter of the Su family after all. If Su Anying has a bad reputation outside, it will also affect the girls of the Su family.

"Well, I understand, I'll come home today and have a look, and we'll go back in the afternoon.

Tomorrow Shiyan and I will go to the fields to earn work points, and when we have free time, I will go to my mother-in-law's place."

Su Anying is honest and always listens to whatever her stepmother says. What's more, the Han family also thinks about her, so Su Anying naturally appreciates it.

In the west room, Feng and Han gave Su Anying guidance, teaching her how to get along with her husband and how to have a good relationship with her parents-in-law, sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law and uncles.

It's not easy for a woman in this life. It's better to have her parents to protect her before she gets married, so she doesn't have to think about anything.

When you get married and become someone else's daughter-in-law, you have to think more about everything.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the east room is even more lively.

As for men, how many of them can hold their own even when drinking? After a few glasses of wine, your voice becomes much louder.

Xu Shiyan is the new uncle, and this is his return home, so everyone must propose a toast.

Fortunately, he had a good drinking capacity. He accompanied Su Weizhong and Su Weicheng drank several drinks, but he didn't show any signs of it.

Xu Shiyan has always been steady. Even after drinking, he did not talk nonsense and still looked honest.

When the elders asked him, he said that he would drink when the elders asked him to drink, and he didn't even talk about it. This is really quite likeable.

Su Weizhong looked at his son-in-law with various emotions.

When the matchmaker originally introduced him, Su Weizhong really didn't like Xu Shiyan at all.

I feel that this young man is too sluggish, and I am afraid that my daughter will not have a good life following him and will be bullied.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shiyan seemed to have no temper when he was withered by Baden. In fact, he was a bit of a showman when he was so embarrassed.

It's really good to separate the family just after getting married, live alone with your wife, and still have a way to make money.
