Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Chai Zhongxiao must have been a bit excited back then, and muddle-headed too.

Chai Mi was certain that upon hearing his daughter and son-in-law had returned, and that Chai Mi suggested Che Lianyun had received his Senior Professional Title this year in his previous life, Chai Zhongxiao let Chai Youqing use this as a topic, plunging Chai Zhongxiao into a state of high excitement in a short time.

That is to say, his head got hot for a moment……

But afterwards, Chai Zhongxiao would definitely be able to figure out what happened.

After all, these four thousand plus yuan, to hold a banquet, is simply too bizarre.

How much does it cost to open a restaurant?

So, Chai Mi didn't intend to leave Chai Zhongxiao time to regret, nor give Chai Youqing a chance to be passive.

"Dad, you do this. You go to the Village Chief's house first, tell Liu Zhanggui, just say the Township Head is coming too, he must be invited to act as the Master of Ceremonies."

(Master of Ceremonies, I'm not too clear on customs elsewhere, but here it generally refers to a special person during weddings and funerals who is responsible for helping the host family direct guests to sit, give gift money, eat, drink, etc. Anyway, everything falls under this Master of Ceremonies, including during weddings, distributing wedding candy at each table, who sets off firecrackers, who carries plates, who cooks, when to drink and when to eat, all are decided by this person.)

"Ah…… can Liu Zhanggui come?" Chai Youqing started beating a retreat: "Why don't you go instead……"

Chai Mi sighed, frowned in displeasure, and after a moment said: "Fine. Then you go to Liu Laosi first to order a castrated boar, a male one, already slaughtered. It'll be useful when the time comes…… afterwards you have Song Qingshan come over to write the Gift Ledger."

Chai Youqing was still beating a retreat: "You just tricked your Second Aunt into fighting with your Grandmother, how can Song Qingshan help our family?"

Song Qingshan is Song Qiuping's own Uncle, Chai Youqing felt that as long as Song Qingshan's brain wasn't sick right now, this was basically impossible.

Chai Youfu said Song Qiuping realized things belatedly, sulked, realized she had fallen for Chai Mi's scheme and been used as a pawn, so naturally she must hate Chai Mi especially now.

So how could Song Qiuping's uncle possibly come help?

So Chai Youqing felt it was still better not to ask Song Qingshan for help.

"Forget it." Chai Mi was utterly speechless.

Chai Youqing really is mud that can't stick to the wall……

Although he is my own biological father……

But he really is too useless.

Useless to the point of making one's hair stand on end……

"You do this…… you go notify my mom's side of relatives, my Aunt, Second Aunt…… my Uncle's place, I'll go. The rest, whatever needs buying, you think it over these two days, make a list, after the field trip is done, you go handle it. Liu Zhanggui, I'll go invite."

Chai Youqing only then agreed.

"Ai, I was still thinking of letting you go to Liu Zhanggui's to perform well, maybe you could become a Village Group Leader later…… looks like, you can't do it."

Painting big pies, Chai Mi can do it too. But it's very obvious Chai Youqing can't swallow this big pie.

"You're just suited for doing the work."

Chai Youqing left, Chai Mi sat comfortably in the courtyard for a while longer, then got up and went to the window sill of the west room, knocked on the glass of the open window: "Xiu'er, don't spend all day reading comic books."

Chai Xiu was lying on the Kang reading "Journey to the West", a comic book.

Because Chai Xiu recognizes very few characters, after all she never went to school, the characters she can recognize are mostly simple ones, all forcefully taught by Chai Mi when she was bored, so she can only read comic books with simple characters.

Like Journey to the West is relatively simple, there are only those few characters total, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, these few, she knows who they are just by looking at the pictures, so Chai Xiu can understand it.

If it were switched to Water Margin's One Hundred and Eight Heroes, Chai Xiu would probably confuse herself first.
