The Ye family today is different from the night snack that day. Instead, they have a big banquet. There are several tables and a group of sons-in-law and daughters sitting around with their elders in the hall.
The old man's Pro spontaneous sea cucumber has been soaked for more than a week. It must be better than what he bought.
In addition, the Chaoshan cook at home plays beef balls by himself. That muscle road can really be played as table tennis.
There are also white cut imperial concubine chicken, salt baked chicken, roast goose, stuffed duck, etc., and then burn, Crispy Tofu, assorted white gourd hat, etc.
Then make several courses of sea fish, river fish, shrimp, crab and eel, and come down one by one. The table is full of Cantonese food.
Ye's son-in-law is less in the north and more in the south, and most of them are successful people, either military stars or business tycoons. In short, he is famous in all walks of life.
Moreover, there are many sons-in-law, such as Xiao Yan. There are only a few sons-in-law, all in their 40s and 50s. And they are all nephews and sons-in-law. They sit farther than the old man at dinner, so they are very dissatisfied with Xiao Yan, a young man sitting next to the old man.
Fourth Uncle Ye Jinxian and fifth Uncle Ye Jincheng sit on the other side. Ye Ziming and ye Wufeng are far away.
Mr. Ye's official name is Ye Jinzhang. He is the eldest. He is the current owner of the Ye family. His father was once the leader of eastern Guangdong Province. After his father retired more than 20 years ago, he left his hometown in eastern Guangdong and went north to Jinling.
He served as the chairman of the CPPCC of Sujiang Province, but he has no real power, so his official influence is not very strong. After retiring a few years ago, the Ye family in Jinling is much worse than before.
Ye Jincheng stayed in East Guangdong to do business. He had a close relationship with another branch of the Ye family and was also very popular there.
Ye Jinxian is now a major general and deputy commander of the Jinling military region. It is estimated that when he retires, he can jump up to a lieutenant general. The age has gone up and the future is limited, so I can't count on it.
But Ye Feng and ye min, now one is the vice mayor and the other is the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. They are still young. They have now become the mainstay of the Ye family, and their status has naturally risen.
So the daughter of the second family was much older than ye min. she and her son-in-law should sit at the top. But in order to curry favor with Ye min, they offered to give up their position to Xiao Yan and ye min.
When the two guys came, there were only two positions left here, so they were embarrassed to say more and sat down quickly.
After the old man set out his chopsticks, he didn't eat. He said it first. Old people love to be wordy and talk endlessly. It is nothing more than a short family, so that everyone can live in harmony and unite.
Although he quoted scriptures, he often said some refreshing words, as well as some very appropriate things about relatives and friendship. But everyone was in no mood to listen, because they were a little hungry.
Besides, today's people are already indifferent. Let alone take care of their relatives. It's good not to hurt them.
Finally, ye Min said slightly coquettish, "Dad, if you don't eat any more, it will be cold. Besides, everyone is hungry. Let's talk while eating."
"Yes, eat. People like to say more when they get old. Come on, everyone is here today and have a happy reunion dinner!" the old man let them go.
To move chopsticks, Xiao Yan instinctively took his hand in the direction of the wine cup. He is used to getting along with fat people. He drinks a cup before dinner, otherwise he won't feel comfortable eating.
But ye min quietly pulled him. He found that people just eat and keep the wine nearby.
He remembered that when he was in Dongjiang City, he often had this situation at meals.
People in the south are used to drinking after meals, so they won't hurt their stomach and keep in good health.
After eating, ye min kept putting vegetables in his bowl. A little parting is better than a new marriage, not to mention that they get together less and leave more. They want to eat each other.
Xiao Yan also knows how to take care of women and wants to bring vegetables to Ye min, but ye min quietly shakes her head.
Xiao Yan understood this move, but couldn't help laughing in his heart. The big family is in trouble. He has to fight his mind even for a meal.
Looking at the table, it was sure that the daughter gave her son-in-law clips, and the son-in-law pretended to be an uncle.
Ye min's status is not low. She keeps bringing vegetables to Xiao Yan. This is to bid up his value for fear that he will be looked down upon at home in the future.
If Xiao Yan brings her food, it will make people think he is a soft eater. He can only live by pleasing his wife and the Ye family.
Mr. Ye is a male chauvinist. What he despises most is the men who are eager to marry his daughter and the Ye family. Even if you beat his daughter, he won't blame you. He thinks women should be beaten for doing wrong. This is also related to the custom that men are superior to women in Southeast China,
Xiao Yan is a gentleman who can be very elegant in any section. He is also a person who doesn't stick to sections and doesn't care about everything.
He had a comfortable meal. Anyway, his wife kept pinching and couldn't get hungry.
In the end, Mr. Ye stuck his chopsticks on the table. Others put them down one after another. Only Xiao Yan was still eating.
"Ha ha..." a group of sons-in-law were cold in their hearts, and some even sneered.
Ye min hurried to pull Xiao Yan's sleeve, blaming himself for not explaining the rules clearly, otherwise he wouldn't be rude.
Xiao Yan looked around and immediately realized that many big families do have the rule that the owner put down his chopsticks and others can't eat.
"Eat, don't make yourself at home. Don't care so much when you go back to your home. Lao Jiu, I heard that your ancestral home is in the north. Come and eat this sea cucumber and see what the characteristics of our South are." Ye Jinzhang made an exception and moved his chopsticks again. He even took a sea cucumber for Xiao Yan himself.
This time, the other sons in law were even more upset. Some faces came down on the spot, but the old man endured it.
"Shit, you're nothing. You look like a little white face. It's obviously flattering. You're so popular with the old man."
"In order to protect his face, the old man took chopsticks as an exception. What's the origin of this guy?"
"Ye min is my sister-in-law. I had half of my ass, but now you have it all."
A gang of son-in-law's hearts turned upside down and wanted to slap Xiao Yan directly.
Xiao Yan didn't care either. He just ate a few mouthfuls of sea cucumber and was full of praise. The old man smiled.
Before coming, Xiao Yan had heard Ye min say that the sea cucumber was spontaneous by the old man. It is necessary to praise it.
This time, the sons-in-law determined that Xiao Yan was liked by the old man by fawning, and many people couldn't stand it on the spot. Everyone looked at each other and picked up their glasses.
"Brother in law, it's our first meeting today. We have to do one anyway."
"Uncle, I'm a junior. I respect you. Whatever you want, I'll do it."
"Uncle, raise your head, or I'll be rude as a junior. Let's go."
“……”
It's time to drink and change glasses. Xiao Laojiu looked at the Wuliangye aged for more than 20 years in the wine cup, and his saliva was coming out.
He thought to himself, why don't you sons-in-law have more? Then I'll drink a lot.
