Chapter 201 Isn’t he only able to cook one dish (2)
"No, everyone finally got together today. It's time to get closer and communicate better. It's not good to be separated." Gu Xiaobei shook his head. The purpose of helping Liao's dinner today was to let her get acquainted with the village women. Fortunately, I will live with everyone in the village in the future. If we are separated, we will not be able to achieve the best results.

"That's right, although we live in the same village, in the past, everyone was busy with their own affairs, and there was no chance to gather together. Even if there was a happy event in the village, we would have to work all day, and then wait until the time for the banquet." I'm very tired all the time, and I don't have time to have a good banquet, and I don't have a chance to have a good talk. Now we have such a rare opportunity to get together, and now that the men are away, we don't have to be restrained, of course. Sit down, we should do it together and talk about the housework." Mu Caixia also said with a smile.

"That's true. Anyway, it's the end of the year and there's nothing to be busy with. Let's sit closer today, chat while eating, and stay drunk!"

"That's right, even if the men in the family come to look for them, we have to send them away. I think there are so many of us, and the men are too embarrassed to call for them. Let's have a good time today!"

"Yes, it's not dark today, so I won't go back!"

"Let me tell you, the men in the family are not all unreasonable. The man in my family, when he heard that Sister Liao was going to invite all the daughters-in-law in our village to a banquet, he immediately told me not to take care of family affairs. Just have fun!"

"Wow, your guy is really easy to talk to!"

All the village women chattered and discussed, and finally everyone decided to sit together instead of separated, but there really wasn't enough space for five tables in the yard, and everyone didn't know what to do for a while.

Gu Xiaobei knew the courtyard she used to live in very well. She smiled and said to everyone without looking at the courtyard: "Since everyone wants to sit together and talk closer, let's just sit closer together. Let's put the tables together. After setting it up, one table is placed at the entrance of the courtyard, two tables are placed facing the main room, and the other two tables are placed facing the east corner of the courtyard, which is arranged horizontally and vertically. We can sit together."

"Is this okay?" A few women looked at the yard and felt that it seemed impossible, so they couldn't help worrying.

"Believe me, it will definitely fit. You know, I have lived here for more than ten years. I have figured out how many inches is long and what is short in the yard, where is wider and where is narrower." Gu Xiaobei said confidently.

"That's right, Xiaobei has lived in this yard for more than ten years, so she knows better than us. Maybe it's feasible as she said. Let's try to set it up first. If it doesn't work, let's talk about it. Anyway, set up a table. It's not too tiring." A village woman replied with a smile.

"Too."

So everyone helped to set up the tables according to Gu Xiaobei's instructions. The yard looked small, but according to Gu Xiaobei's instructions, five tables could still be set up.

After the table was set, everyone helped to serve the dishes in the kitchen. After a while, the fragrance of the dishes in the yard was overflowing, and drifted out of the yard with a little bit of cold wind.

After the food was served, everyone sat down on their stools and prepared to start the banquet. Although the weather was cold, everyone sat very close to each other, and all of them were beaming with joy. There were laughter everywhere, suppressing the cold weather. No one feels cold anymore.

"Everyone is seated, calm down first, and Aunt Liao and I will say a few words each, and we'll start eating, okay?" Gu Xiaobei took a pot lid and a piece of firewood and knocked loudly like a gong and drum. The sound suppressed everyone's joking and squabbling.Everyone quieted down, quietly looking at Gu Xiaobei who was standing there and Liao Shi who was beside her.

Gu Xiaobei said loudly with a smile on his face: "Some of you may not know that today is a good day for Aunt Liao and the others to move into the new yard. Although the yard is not newly built, it is also newly renovated, but Aunt Liao and the others did not live in it. Passing here, for Aunt Liao and the others, it can be considered that Aunt Liao and the others have moved into a new residence, and it can be regarded as a good day for their mother and son, let's offer a glass of wine to Aunt Liao first, and wish their mother and son move into their new house!"

"Okay! Congratulations to Sister Liao for moving into her new house!"

"Okay, celebrate!"

Dozens of village women stood up with a smile, raised their wine glasses and toasted to Liao's side, and then drank it in one gulp. The scene was very spectacular, and Gu Xiaobei was a little surprised when he saw it. Unexpectedly, these village women not only could Drinking, and there is still a long time to flow, she began to rejoice that because of the Chinese New Year at home, Gu Datian brewed a few large jars of wine by himself, and moved them here today for Liao's use, otherwise today's wine would really not be enough.

"Thank you everyone!" Liao's eyes were wet with excitement, and her mouth trembled a little, but the words she spoke were still clear and steady. After she finished speaking, she raised her wine glass and drank it down with her head raised. Maybe she drank too hastily. , or maybe he has never drank this kind of strong wine in such a big glass before, Liao couldn't help but choked up as soon as he finished drinking, "cough, cough!"

Mu Wenhong, who was standing beside Liao Shi, hurriedly took out a handkerchief to Liao Shi, and Gu Xiaobei also smiled at the right moment and said to everyone: "Our Aunt Liao used to be a wealthy family living in the city. People who have worked in rich families also know that they eat and drink in small sips. Although she knows that she can't drink a big glass all at once, she still drinks a big glass as the Romans do. This is full of sincerity. Yes, everyone said, right?"

"Yes!" After all, everyone was a woman, and when they saw Liao's behavior and Gu Xiaobei's remarks, they were immediately moved, and they all nodded in agreement.

"It was the first thing just now, and now it's the second thing." Gu Xiaobei said with a smile: "The second thing I want to ask everyone, you may have heard that I invited Aunt Liao and her son to live in the village. Yes, Aunt Liao's son Ling Muchen is also helping in the restaurant I opened. What I want to tell you is that Aunt Liao and their mother and son are new here and are not very familiar with you, so I hope you will take care of them in the future. They really feel the enthusiasm of the people in our village, making them truly a member of the people in our village!"

"Sister Liao, don't worry, we are all easy to get along with. There may be a few who speak harshly, but they are all sharp-tongued and tofu-hearted."

"That's right. I heard that you do a good job in needlework. My needlework is the worst in the village. I will often come to you to learn from you. Then you don't want to bother me."

"That's right, call us all to help if you need help!"

The soft-hearted village women immediately showed their enthusiasm to Liao. Gu Xiaobei looked at it with a smile. Although she couldn't guarantee that everyone here was sincere, she felt that most of them were sincere now. Well, from now on, when Mrs. Liao meets village women when she goes out, they will at least say hello to Mrs. Liao and do a little favor.
