Chapter 333

~7 min read 1,342 words

This dish was hard to say, more sumptuous than during the New Year.

Everyone ate and praised endlessly, and didn't forget to send blessings to Song Yulan and her husband.

"Second Uncle! I'll toast you!"

"Not much to say! It's all in the wine!"

"Good, good, good!"

Cao Weiguo raised his glass to toast, and Liu Haizhong couldn't close his mouth from smiling.

This relationship is considered closer!

"Come, I'll toast everyone."

After toasting the Second Uncle, Cao Weiguo poured another glass.

No need for too much politeness, he drank it clean in one cup.

Everyone ate happily and drank happily, and Cao Weiguo and Song Yulan were also busy happily.

This happy event must be happy!

After eating and drinking, Second Aunt, Aunt Du, Aunt Sun, and Sun Meiqin helped clean up the housework.

The Second Uncle went home with his big belly, and Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu burped.

"Dad! No wonder Brother Weiguo can be a leader!"

"This way of doing things is atmospheric!"

"That's right! This banquet is really nothing to say!"

"After eating one meal, my oil for a year is enough."

"Dad, if you become a leader, you have to do this too!"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, the two brothers, said one word after another.

The Second Uncle, who had drunk wine, was in a good mood, and rarely didn't throw a face.

Puffed out his big belly and said: "If your dad becomes a leader, the banquet must be ten times bigger than Cao Weiguo's."

In order to eat well, Liu Guangfu hurriedly offered flattery: "Dad, you will definitely be able to be a leader."

The Second Uncle was overjoyed: "That's a must! By then, you will all be the sons of a leader!"

Xu Damao chased from behind: "Second Uncle, when will you be a leader? I'll send you a thick gift by then."

The Second Uncle puffed out his belly: "I've decided on this thick gift."

Xu Damao became interested: "Ho, Second Uncle is confident, what's wrong? Found a lead?"

The Second Uncle smiled and said: "Isn't the lead right in front of your eyes? Still need to find it?"

Xu Damao: "You mean Cao Weiguo?"

The Second Uncle: "Could it be you, Xu Damao!"

Xu Damao curled his lips: "Second Uncle, can Cao Weiguo help you? You learned to be smart this time, but before, you and Cao Weiguo had a mediocre relationship, not even as good as me, and I am buddies with Cao Weiguo."

The Second Uncle: "Whether the relationship is good or bad is something that is dealt with; with this meal today, my relationship with Cao Weiguo will definitely get better and better, can he not help me, this Second Uncle, by then?"

Xu Damao: "Cut, Second Uncle, keep dreaming, I'm still buddies with him, and I haven't seen him help me go up."

The Second Uncle's eyes were sharp: "You? You're just drinking buddies with Cao Weiguo; even if he helped you, what return could you give him?"

Xu Damao was stunned, he really hadn't thought about the return aspect.

Xu Damao's bones were filled with selfishness, and gratitude was too far away from him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have done so many wicked things.

A person who can even betray his wife who has slept in the same bed for many years.

Do you expect him to know gratitude?

The Second Uncle puffed out his face and said: "I'm different, I'm the Second Uncle in the courtyard; if Cao Weiguo helps me, in the future in this courtyard, I will also take care of the Cao family more; this is called reciprocity, officials protecting officials."

By the evening, the residents who went out to visit relatives, buy furniture, and talk about objects all returned.

Learning that they went to the Cao family to eat the banquet, Cao Weiguo didn't want gift money.

These residents suddenly realized, regretted slapping their thighs, and cursed Cao Weiguo for being insidious and treacherous.

Especially the Third Uncle, who regretted it so much his intestines turned green, and kept chanting: "Muddled, muddled!"

The Third Uncle and Yan Jiecheng were also counting on the side, complaining about the Third Uncle's poor calculations.

Calculating back and forth, it's not as good as the Second Uncle, who is obsessed with being an official.

Regardless of what the Second Uncle was thinking, he drank Cao Weiguo's wine today.

He built a good relationship with Cao Weiguo, and maybe he could bask in the glory in the future.

But you, this abacus essence, just because you couldn't bear to pay the gift money, you alienated the relationship between the two families for nothing.

Since that's the case, why did you do it earlier?

Why did you go to Cao Weiguo's door to stir up trouble to set up a banquet for no reason?

Isn't this looking for trouble for no reason, slapping your own face?

Will Cao Weiguo still treat you well in the future?

Not to mention how the relationship between the two families will be in the future.

But listening to Chi Ping'an's bragging about the food at noon.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, twice-cooked pork, pork stewed with vermicelli...

It made the Third Uncle's family complain endlessly, missing the opportunity to eat and drink for free.

Other residents were also drooling, their eyes glowing green.

But there is no regret medicine to eat in this world, and these people can only slap their thighs and call for grievances.

However, even if these people slapped their thighs blue, they didn't have the face to go in front of Cao Weiguo and talk nonsense.

People set up good wine and good dishes, you didn't go yourself, who can you blame?

Regardless of whether it's true or false, going is going, and not going is not going.

When you want to take advantage, you say "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors" every other word.

When there is no advantage to take, you run farther than anyone else.

Reciprocity is you treat me well and I treat you well.

Blindly demanding without thinking of return is shameless.

Obviously, some of the beasts in the Sihe Academy are really shameless.

Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu stood in the courtyard and began to mock Cao Weiguo.

What a snob!

What a person who looks at people!

What a two-faced person!

What a person who doesn't understand the rules!

What a selfish person!

From beginning to end, there wasn't a single good word, and they provoked right and wrong from time to time.

Saying Cao Weiguo looks down on them, these poor neighbors, he is a leader and disdains to associate with poor neighbors.

This really had an effect, causing resonance among many people.

If Cao Weiguo were here, he would definitely say frankly: "You're right! I just look down on you!"

If these neighbors led by Yi Zhonghai could never associate with each other again.

Cao Weiguo would definitely set off firecrackers to celebrate; this is a good thing he is asking for.

Cao Weiguo went out for something, but Song Yulan was at home.

Hearing Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu's cold words, she was so angry she threw away the rag and wanted to go out to reason.

Before she could go out, she was blocked in the room by Qin Huairu, whose face was so ugly.

"Sister Yulan!"

"I went out for something urgent this morning and didn't catch up to give you a gift."

"I'm really sorry."

Qin Huairu said it sincerely, and Song Yulan sneered:

"It's okay, it's not too late to give a gift now."

Qin Huairu was choked, but she didn't take it to heart at all.

Instead, she sold misery pitifully: "Hey, you don't know the situation in my family; I also want to give you a thick gift, but I'm really powerless; now my two girls are hungry at home and crying."

"I'm a useless mother, I can only come to your house to beg for some leftover food from noon."
