Seeing Er Gouzi smiling so happily, I knew that I would definitely continue to do this, and I would do whatever it took to provide him with a promising future. So when I saw him so happy, I didn’t talk to him anymore.
Keep talking, because there are still many things I need to do below.
I gently locked the door key and turned to him.
"I'll go down first. There's still half an hour left. Come over for dinner on time in half an hour. If you don't come over for dinner seriously for half an hour and are still addicted to reading, then I won't be thirsty. You should be polite and polite.
, you have to do something when you need to do it, play when you need to be bored, eat when you need to eat, study when you need to study, you can’t take care of the three at the same time, you must understand, you know? I’m leaving first.”
Ergouzi waved to me happily.
"Boss, I will go down by myself when the time comes. You go first. I will stay here for half an hour. I will go down on time and honestly. I will not let my brothers and sisters accompany the old man to wait for me.
I will definitely be a good boy, don't worry."
I opened the door and went downstairs. I was sitting on the third floor. I leaned down and watched the brothers enjoying themselves and doing what they wanted to do. They didn't sleep together. Really.
This is rare. If they usually gather together at the same time, they can joke around and have fun and pass the time. At that time, I felt as if life should continue like this.
But I didn't expect it to be the case.
When everyone is having fun, there are actually more possibilities in their lives. They unconsciously choose a life state that they like. Maybe life does not provide them with such an environment, or they do not
I didn't realize that I liked him, and I thought it was natural to hang out with my brothers.
When the environment and opportunity are provided to them, they act like an instinct to find what they like to do, and get an unsatisfied sense of happiness in it, integrate into it, and let themselves feel happy.
I am very lucky to see my brothers here today who are so happy, so devoted, and forgetting everything else.
Maybe I haven't thought about them so much before, maybe I've never seriously explored the depths of their hearts. I even feel that as their boss, I don't actually know them very well. I only discovered them through some detailed observations.
Seeing their possibility, I even feel as if the previous life is the eternal pattern we should have.
When I thought of this, I suddenly became enlightened. Maybe I should give them more things to do. When I thought of this, I had secretly made up my mind that I would communicate with the Jintang and the old man in the evening.
I hope I can convince them about this, and I hope they can support me.
12:00
It was finally time to eat. As soon as I sat down, my brothers were already sitting around the table, and the old man also came down from upstairs at this time.
Of course, the old man is still sitting in one of his main seats.
I sat next to the old man.
Then people sitting on my left and right came in, and my wife arranged the positions of each of the brothers on the long stool.
When we sat down, the brothers were still a little reserved. They couldn't let go at all, because such a very open style, similar to that of Xichang people, still didn't suit them at all, although they were fine eating here.
It's not the first time, but it's still like the first time I've eaten. I feel very restrained, as if I haven't completely let go, and my hands are tied.
They seemed to be in the same boat and didn't know how to eat this meal. Compared with their usual careless behavior, this situation seemed to have their own way. They seemed to have entered a very important place.
On occasion, they were sweating profusely.
They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
When you think of Wu Ma serving a very exquisite bowl, some exquisite bowls and chopsticks, made of gold and silver, each set is actually quite expensive, which means that the old man specially purchased it from abroad, and it is specially used for Western food.
Generally speaking, they are made of the kind used by aristocratic families for enjoyment. There are many kinds of tableware, and even large bowls and small bowls are divided into details.
It's the same as what we eat, so I don't care.
Because when I first came here to eat, I was not used to it at all. I thought why a meal requires so many soup bowls and chopsticks. Is this one ready so late? A pair of fast bars is enough, what else?
Do you want it to be complicated? It's not that simple and complicated.
So when I eat here, I am never as particular as Jintang and the old man. They spend at least seven or eight bowls, chopsticks, and spoons for a meal, which is simply a waste of money.
I don't criticize their behavior too much, because maybe their lives are like this after all, and they feel that a meal should be so refined, as if it is a very high-quality life.
Otherwise, they would just start to adopt a kind of persuasion and dogmatic training towards me. Anyway, it would be a kind of tug-of-war with each other, but I rejected them from the heart and behavior.
So until now, when I eat at home, I have to prepare too much, which makes it easy for me to mess up. Moreover, I have clearly stipulated that when I eat, my mother only needs to prepare a pair of chopsticks and a bowl for me.
of rice.
There are so many things on my desktop saying things like the old man and them, which makes me angry. They are very tolerant of my behavior. Yes, everyone has their own way of life.
Everyone has their own past living habits. Maybe it is a virtue to follow the locals, but not to follow the locals is also a kind of self-persistence.
But when I saw the appearance of my brothers just now, I suddenly felt as if I had ignored their feelings that I had at that time.
Zhu Tou San was even very nervous. He was so nervous that when he held these bowls, he didn't know which bowl he should eat from. He just asked Wu Ma tentatively.
"Although I am very fat, I can eat a lot, but I probably won't have to eat 7 bowls of rice, so if these 7 bowls are prepared for me, it is actually a waste. Just prepare one bowl of rice for me.
Sorry, I really don’t need these six bowls of rice, you’re too polite.”
Xiao Ma Liu also took the conversation and said it very politely.
"Yes, we didn't eat too much. There were too many bowls. I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to digest it at night, so I would like to thank the old man for his love for us. I am very grateful that the old man can give us so much delicious food."
We will eat these things seriously, but I’m afraid you won’t blame me if we can’t finish them, right?”
At this time, the old man was drinking his glass of aperitif. When he heard the two of them saying these words, the wine was in his throat. He held it in his mouth as if he wanted to spit it out. It took a lot of effort to swallow it after it was cold.
Go down.
I was also drinking a bowl of soup. When they said these words, I desperately wanted to spurt it out, but I also forcibly covered my mouth with a handkerchief.
I said after swallowing a mouthful of soup.
"I won't be able to eat seven or eight bowls of rice without you. These bowls and chopsticks are all prepared by Wu Ma for you according to the standard Western food method. In other words, what you are enjoying now is a dining etiquette that is enjoyed by high-level aristocrats.
"
I won't tell the brothers why they have so many things now, but of course I will tell them later, so I want to see what kind of reaction they will have. Maybe this Chinese food will be interesting to eat.
Niu Ba suddenly realized.
He said with some uncertainty: "I remember that I heard Mr. Shu once said that in the past, the palace nobles prepared so much for their meals and let them eat quickly every night. In the future, they would not be able to eat anything.
, so they want to have this kind of pomp, so it doesn’t matter to them. Some people are still worried about whether they will be poisoned by others, so they prepared so many bowls and chopsticks. I think this kind of rule is still circulated to this day.
Just get used to it."
Although the justice he said seemed clear and logical, I think the old man was very interested when he heard what they said, because he felt that today was also a happy day, because it was a happy beginning, which made him feel happy.
For him, these words of brothers are full of wit and humor.
I really couldn't bear to see my brothers treating this kind of thing so awkwardly, so I turned to Wu's mother and said.
"Wu Ma, you see, brothers like me are not very used to these very important etiquette. Only the old man and Na Jintang are used to it, because that is their life, so our brothers here are not used to it.
There is no need for so many plates, just prepare a bowl for them. I will serve them a large bowl of white rice in the future. After being here so late, I am afraid that they will break it, and they will not feel comfortable. They will still be like before.
Just like me, a big bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks are enough for everyone."
The old man also nodded.
"Just remove these things as Miss Cat said. Everyone has their own living habits. If these little brothers like me can't eat well because of these details in life, then wouldn't I be guilty?"
Wu Ma, Xiao Cui and the others quickly removed the extra bowls and chopsticks, leaving only one bowl and chopsticks, and then filled a bowl of white rice for each of them.
When serving rice, I said jokingly.
"Wu Ma, save more for them. You also know that they have a big appetite. The food cooked today is so delicious. If you feel that it is not enough in the future, you can step on it twice more with your feet and smash the rice."
It just needs to be strong.”
She probably didn't react. I was joking and talking nonsense. She wasn't sure whether he could understand it. She looked at me blankly.
"Oh, Miss Cat, you can't do that. How can you use your feet to crush the rice firmly? How can you use a rice spoon to press it twice, and then press it twice again and spread it. Otherwise, after we eat a bowl of rice, we
Is it okay to add another bowl of rice, not just one bowl of rice?"
I didn't say anything because the old man had already raised his head and laughed.
The old man laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears, because what I said just now was just a very ridiculing and humorous language. Of course the old man understood it. If I said something wrong, it’s just that Wu Ma may not be very contactable. She is not
She understood what I was saying very well and treated me as a serious master.
