"Well, whatever you say, dear in-laws. Aren't you happy to be a grandmother?" Mrs. Wang said with a smile.
"Haha, be all happy! Everyone just don't stand and talk, let's all sit down!" The old man exclaimed.
There were two tables set up today, and the servants were also at the table next to them.
The old man asked: "Uncle Fu, we're all about the same age, can you drink? How about we have a drink together?"
Uncle Fu was a little flattered and waved his hands repeatedly: "Master, I can't go beyond the limits, I'll just sit at the table next to you."
"Why are you so polite? From now on, you will treat this place as your home. This wine is brewed by our family. You can try it too."
"Aye! Thank you, then, Master." Uncle Fu hesitated for a long time before agreeing. He was extremely moved, and his initially cautious heart was completely relieved at this moment.
Mrs. Wang also arranged for the 12 people for Yue Yang to sit at the table as well.
Xiaoliu insisted on sitting with Qibao, holding his sister's mouth and talking non-stop.
"Sister, where have you been playing these past few days? Can you take me with you next time? I miss you so much when you are away, and I am not in the mood to play with Zhixi anymore."
Mrs. Lin replied: "Your sister went to do her business, why bring you with her? I don't see how much you miss your sister, these days no matter what you eat you have to eat two portions, and say that it's because your sister is not at home, it's to help your sister eat, I see that you are very happy!"
As soon as Xiaoliu heard his mother's words, he immediately explained: "Big brother said that you can't just look at things on the surface, even though I eat a lot, I do miss my sister in my heart, it's just that I don't show it, and big brother also said that you shouldn't show what's in your heart on your face, so that it's very easy for others to guess what you're thinking."
Mrs. Lin said: "You will use your elder brother to block the arrow."
Qibao smiled and said: "Mother, big brother is right, it's not a big deal in your own home, but if you're out there dealing with people, you can easily lose out on that."
The old man laughed: "This is the benefit of children going to school! Look at how big the change has been. How could they have understood so many things before? Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's sit down and eat!"
After the old man gave the word and everyone found a suitable place for themselves to sit down, Xu Dabo picked up the wine altar to pour wine for everyone.
Uncle Fu stood up immediately and said: "How can I let the eldest master pour me a drink, it won't work, it doesn't make sense, just let me do it."
The old man smiled and said: "Uncle Fu, just sit down. If your legs and feet are inconvenient, let the eldest pour it! It's just a glass of wine."
By the time, Xu Dabo had already passed a poured glass of wine to Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu accepted the wine handed over by Xu Dabo with both hands and thanked him before sitting down.
The 12 people of Yue Yang sat at the bottom, their mouths swallowing several times as they looked at the colorful and flavorful dishes on the table.
After the old man moved his chopsticks, the others began to eat.
Today Mrs. Wang's cooking are all Qibao's favorite food, there is also a big pot of crayfish, which is placed right in front of Qibao, Qibao is not polite, and pinched up one and ate it.
Yue Jiao and Yue Wu saw the young miss eating deliciously, but they were too shy to move their chopsticks.
When Mrs. Wang saw that they were not picking up vegetables, she took some for each of them and put it into their bowls. She smiled gently and said: "You can eat whatever you want. You are still growing, so don't be embarrassed. This is your home."
"Yes, didn't you say you want to learn martial arts from Qibao? How can you learn martial arts if you are not healthy enough? Eat more, you are too thin!" Mrs. Li said with some distress.
Yue Yang and the others felt warm in their hearts after hearing what Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li said. The young miss's family members are all good people, and they also secretly vowed in their hearts to learn martial arts well in the future, to protect them, and to guard this hard-won warmth.
Yue Jiao's tears were welling up in her eyes, and as she looked at Mrs. Wang's kind face, she burst out crying!
Mrs. Wang was startled and quickly comforted: "Yue Jiao, why are you crying? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Yue Jiao shook her head, sobbed and said: "No, old madam, I feel so happy now, no one has ever treated me so well, when I went out to beg for food, people would call me a stinking beggar, and I had to be beaten by bad people, every time I see children on the street with their parents holding and coaxing them, Yue Jiao is so envious, they're just exactly the same as old madam now."
Seeing the little girl crying with tears in her eyes, Mrs. Wang stepped forward with some distress and patted her back gently and said: "You don't have to envy other children from now on, just treat us like family."
Yue Jiao wiped her tears and nodded. She felt that her performance just now was a bit embarrassing. She couldn't control it and cried, so she lowered her head shyly.
Mrs. Wang saw her embarrassment, so she changed the subject and said: "Eat! I made these dishes myself. You all have to try them! See if they taste good." Mrs. Wang said to the other children.
Yue Jiao wiped away her tears, picked up a piece of meat and ate it, chewing and boasting: "The old madam's cooking is so delicious, it's the best thing I've ever eaten!"
When Mrs. Wang heard Yue Jiao complimenting her on her cooking skills, she immediately beamed and said: "You all can eat as much as you want."
Everyone else also started eating with their chopsticks.
For a while, there were only the sounds of chopsticks clinking against bowls and plates on the table, as well as the sounds of wine glasses clinking and various exchanges of greetings.
Everyone's stomachs were full after the meal. As expected, the old man was a little drunk, so he grabbed Old Lin and Uncle Fu and started talking non-stop, which made Mrs. Wang stare.
Xu Dabo and Xu Erbo rushed forward to help their dad, to send him back inside to rest for a while.
But the old man refused and said: "You two, let go of me, I still have a lot of things to say!" After saying that, he broke away from his two sons' hands.
Seeing that Grandma was about to speak, Qibao knew that Grandma was going to scold Grandpa again, and immediately spoke up before her: "Grandpa, you've had too much to drink, go back to your room and rest first, we can talk about anything this afternoon, okay?"
The old man heard his granddaughter's words, which made him a bit more honest, and said: "Yes, yes, my granddaughter is right. I'm a little dizzy and I need to sleep for a while." After saying that, he immediately said to his son: "Why are you still dazed! Help me to go to bed."
Xu Dabo and Xu Erbo were a little slow to react. After hearing what their father said, they immediately said: "Oh, father, we'll help you to rest now."
Watching the three people leave, everyone else felt funny. They didn't expect the old man to listen to Qibao so much!
Mrs. Wang nudged Qibao's head and said: "Don't think I didn't see it, are you afraid I'm going to scold your grandfather again? That's why you're jumping ahead of me to speak first, right? You're supposed to feel sorry for him, rather than me being sorry for him."
Qibao quickly hugged one of Mrs. Wang's arms and whispered: "Grandma, grandpa is the head of the family, if you speak about him in front of so many people, then he definitely would be embarrassed, think about it when you usually speak about grandpa, grandpa would argue with you for a few sentences, that's because grandpa loves to save face, you can talk to him privately in the future, grandpa will definitely listen to you."
Mrs. Wang said: "Is it really like this? Didn't it used to be like that? Well then, I won't talk about your grandfather in front of everyone from now on, are you happy now?" After speaking, she gently pushed Qibao's forehead with her finger.
Qibao chuckled.
Old Man Lin and Mrs. Sun planned to return to the winery to work, and Xu Laosan immediately said: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you guys go back to the courtyard to rest, I didn't drink much at noon, you can leave the affairs of the wine shop to me, I'll send you back now."
Old man Lin didn't refuse, his head was also a little drowsy, but it wouldn't be good if he caused problems with the wine because of himself.
The servants at home were clearing the table at this time, and Yue Yang and the others were also helping to stack the dishes and chopsticks into a pile and send them to the kitchen.
Yue Xiao rolled up her sleeves and was about to wash the dishes, but Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yin held her back. They said they wouldn't let a child like her wash so many dishes.
In desperation, Yue Xiao could only take her younger brothers and sisters to clean the floor and the table before she felt that she had not eaten in vain.
