Chapter 197 Return to the city
noon.
Qin's mother's craftsmanship is quite good.
A big pot of braised lion's head goose was eaten up completely, with everyone's mouths drooling.
In fact, when Yan Xiaoyao invited everyone to dinner last night, he wanted Qin's mother to cook the lion-head goose so that everyone could have a taste.
But when Qin Dali heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle, pulled the goose, and refused to agree.
I thought to myself, this thing is so valuable, and with so many relatives coming to my house, I will definitely lose a lot of money!
He had already witnessed the fighting spirit of these uncles, aunts and uncles when they ate from the big pot in the brigade headquarters.
Good guy!
Eating was like a battle, and everything was gone in a flash. Within two minutes of the dishes being served, they were all gone, even the last bit of oil and water was not spared, and they had to wipe it off with steamed bread.
Don’t say that you only have one mouth. Even if you have two mouths, you can’t compete with them.
The funniest thing is that Qin Dali was always thinking about the lion-head goose, so much so that he didn't eat much of the table full of these rare delicacies last night.
As soon as the relatives left, he couldn't wait to take out the hidden lion-head goose and urged Qin's mother to cook it quickly so that he could taste the delicacy.
But it was different for Qin's father and mother. It was rare for them to have such a sumptuous meal with so many relatives around.
He must have opened his stomach wide and eaten as much as he could, thinking of losing as little as possible. How could he have the capacity to eat more now?
Especially Qin's father, who drank a lot of wine under the flattery of everyone.
As soon as he heard that this kid wanted to eat alone, he immediately got angry.
But before he could open his mouth to say anything, Qin Jingru had already taken a step forward, rushed forward, and gave him a big slap in the face.
"Ah... Sister, why did you hit me?" Qin Dali covered his head and screamed.
Qin Jingru rolled her eyes, still not satisfied, so she grabbed his ear and started scolding him.
"You kid, you're just daydreaming.
Did you know that this thing is valuable, so you deliberately skipped a meal just now, and now you want to eat it alone, right?"
When Mr. Qin heard this, he sobered up instantly.
He immediately unbuckled his belt, walked over angrily, and let him enjoy the fatherly love.
Qin's mother stood calmly by the side. After Qin Dali had enjoyed his father's love, she walked over and took the lion-head goose from his hand.
She even tapped him on the head, scolding him with a smile, "You deserve it."
Qin's mother had never made lion-head goose before, so she specifically asked Yan Xiaoyao how to make it.
But Yan Xiaoyao had no idea how to make this thing!
I only know that this thing is grilled in Hong Kong, but I also guessed that Qin's mother probably doesn't know how to make it, so I said with a smile.
"You've really asked the wrong person. It's fine if you want me to eat ready-made food, but I don't know how to cook! If that doesn't work, you can just stew a goose in an iron pot!"
Qin's mother hesitated for a while and decided to divide the lion-head goose into two parts, using half to make soup and the other half to stew the goose in an iron pot.
As for the soup, Qin's mother was afraid of wasting the good stuff, so she put it on the stove and simmered it over low heat all night.
This morning I used this soup to cook a bowl of noodles for Yan Xiaoyao, and it tasted really good.
After lunch.
We sat together and chatted for a while to help digest the food.
Yan Xiaoyao raised his hand to look at the time. It was almost two o'clock. He had to take the bus back to the city and then go to the street office to get a marriage certificate.
"Uncle, aunt, it's getting late, Jingru and I have to go back to the city to get our marriage certificate.
Please go to the brigade headquarters and issue a certificate for Jingru."
Upon hearing this, Qin's mother's face immediately broke into a smile, and she quickly patted Qin's father on the shoulder and urged him.
"What are you still standing there for? Go get the certificate!"
After saying that, she glared at him, gritted her teeth, and whispered, "If you dare to ruin my daughter's good fortune, I'll show you how I'll deal with you tonight."
In fact, Father Qin was just stunned by the surprise.
Now I came to my senses and saw the ferocious look on Qin's mother's face.
Suddenly, I couldn't help but rub my old waist and felt sore.
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll go now and I won't waste their time."
......
Before leaving.
While Qin Jingru was packing her things, Yan Xiaoyao pulled Qin's father and mother aside and stuffed 100 yuan into their pockets.
"Uncle and aunt, this is the betrothal money I give to Jingru, please take it."
Qin Kaishan and his wife were instantly shocked by Yan Xiaoyao's generosity.
After being stunned for a moment.
Father Qin shook his head like a rattle and quickly declined: "That's impossible. You've given too much. Although we are country folk, we know what's going on. If our Jingru can marry you, she's marrying above her station.
And the things you brought yesterday are already worth a lot of money.
To put it bluntly, with the things you brought yesterday, you could have bought a dozen wives in our countryside.
If we accept this money again today, we will be scolded by our fellow villagers when we go out in the future."
Yan Xiaoyao was also quite surprised by Qin Jingru's parents' reaction.
After all, these days, 100 yuan is a huge sum of money in rural areas.
Qin Jingru said last time that her brother was exchanged for a wife because her family had no money to marry him.
I didn't expect that seeing so much money, I could resist the temptation.
Yan Xiaoyao patted Qin's father's arm and said with a smile: "You two can just take the money with peace of mind. Jingru has married into the city, and she will probably only come back during the holidays, so she won't be able to honor you two properly.
Besides, Dali is also of marriageable age, so we can use this money to help him find a wife, and you two can keep the rest to improve your life."
After saying that, he saw Qin Jingru had finished packing and was walking towards him carrying a large package.
I quickly said, "Okay, you two should put the money away quickly, otherwise Jingru will see it and blame me again."
He walked towards Qin Jingru and took the package from her hand.
"How is it? Have you packed everything? We'll be back next time, which will probably be after the New Year, so don't forget to take anything along the way."
Qin Jingru thought about it carefully and said, "There shouldn't be anything left."
Holding Yan Xiaoyao's arm, she said happily, "You've bought me so many new clothes, what else do I have to pack? I was just afraid that the new clothes would get dirty while working, so I specially packed two old clothes to wear when I work."
Seeing this, Yan Xiaoyao did not delay any longer.
"Okay, now that everything is packed, let's go back early. We have to go to the street office to get a marriage certificate later."
When Qin Jingru thought about getting the marriage certificate with Yan Xiaoyao soon, her face was full of smiles and she couldn't wait to urge him.
"Brother Xiaoyao, let's go now, otherwise we will be late and the staff of the street office will all be off work."
......
Qin's father and mother originally planned to find an ox cart to take them to the station. Yan Xiaoyao had ridden in an ox cart when he was a child and couldn't stand the smell, so he quickly declined the kindness of the two elders.
