Chapter 154 Never send a rooster when pursuing a girl
Zhang Xinru showed no interest whatsoever. "Sigh, no fun at all. You can raise it yourself. I have Xiao Xiaojia, that's enough for me."
"Wang Ma, let's continue packing. After we finish packing, we still need to cook. Let's eat early and go home early."
Wang Ma watched them quietly without saying a word.
It's obvious that Dr. Zhao has never pursued girls before. How could he possibly win a girl's heart with just two chickens?
Doing this will only push people further away, which is fine too, as it increases her son's chances of winning over Zhang Ma.
I'll have to remind my son another day: never give a rooster as a gift when you're pursuing a girl, especially a rooster that pecks at people.
"Huh? You damn woman..."
Dr. Zhao opened his mouth, wanting to tell them that they didn't need to cook later, but no one paid any attention to him.
That damned woman, how dare she ignore him? You'll regret it later.
After a busy morning, all the necessary items have been packed, and I'm just waiting to embark on my journey home this afternoon.
Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma were busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, seemingly full of energy because they were about to go home.
Today's lunch was especially lavish compared to usual, with chicken, duck, fish, and meat all included.
"Aunt Wang, I want to eat this."
"Do!"
"and this."
"Do them all."
"Wang Ma, didn't Xu Jiaojiao say she was coming today? Why haven't we seen her yet?" Zhang Xinru asked curiously.
"I don't know either! Maybe there was a delay on the way?" Wang Ma replied.
"Haha, if we all go back in the afternoon and she arrives late, that would be funny. Just thinking about it makes me laugh..." Zhang Xinru couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Grandma Ye was somewhat surprised to see so many dishes prepared when she came in.
"Zhang Ma, please stop..."
Zhang Xinru thought Grandma Ye didn't want them to work so hard, so she proudly waved her hand.
"It's alright, Grandma. We've been bothering you for so long, it's only right that we cook something. Nobody should stop us."
If Fu Xiaochen finds out, he might deduct their wages!
Aunt Wang chimed in, "That's right, we love cooking. We feel uncomfortable if we don't cook for a day."
Grandma Ye: "No, I mean..."
The two of them didn't give Grandma Ye a chance to speak at all.
"It's alright, it'll be done soon."
"Don't worry, we'll be there soon, you don't need to come and help."
"Grandma, the smell of cooking oil in here is too strong, please go out."
"That's right, that's right. I cook very well, just as well as chefs in restaurants."
After they finished speaking, Grandma Ye finally got a chance to speak.
“That’s not what I meant. There’s a happy occasion in the village today. I’ll take you to the feast, so you don’t have to cook lunch at home.”
Zhang Xinru stopped chopping vegetables. "Grandma, why didn't you say so sooner?"
Then all their work would have been for nothing.
Wang Ma stared blankly at the chopped vegetables and marinated meat in front of her.
"Ah... we're already halfway done, should we continue or continue?"
Grandma Ye: "You didn't even give me a chance to speak!"
"Alright, alright, stop messing around. Let's hurry up and go eat at the banquet, or there won't be any seats left."
Grandma Ye pulled them outside without saying a word.
Once outside, they discovered that Fu Xiaochen and his group were all dressed up like peacocks, as if they were attending a high-society banquet.
"..."
Wang Ma: Have they never been to a banquet before?! Get this straight, this is the countryside, it's just a banquet, is it really necessary to dress like this?!
Zhang Xinru looked at them, all looking glamorous, and then at herself and Wang Ma, who looked like old women, looking rather disheveled.
That's going too far! Why didn't you say you were going to a banquet sooner?
Zhang Xinru angrily took off her apron and threw it aside.
Are you all going?
Dr. Zhao was dressed smartly, even wearing a black bow tie, and casually straightened his collar.
"Yeah! Why are you so slow? We're about to leave, and you're still not ready."
You damn woman, now you know what you've missed by ignoring me!
Only Grandma Ye was dressed normally, in her usual clothes.
"Why didn't you say so sooner! Were you doing this on purpose?"
He was about to step forward and attack when he shouted, "Wang Ma, bite him!"
Dr. Zhao quickly dodged, saying, "Don't pinch me, don't pinch me... Go change your clothes quickly."
A neighbor's voice called from outside the door, "Aunt Ye, is it ready yet? If you're late, there won't be any seats left."
Grandma Ye responded, "Oh, I'm here."
He then told them, "Hurry up and come over! My neighbor and I will go ahead first. Find yourselves a seat when you get there."
After saying that, he walked away chatting and laughing with his neighbor.
Ye Jiajia and Fu Xiaochen straightened each other's clothes.
"You are the first woman to tie my tie. I've never even let Zhang Ma do that."
"Fu Xiaochen, this is also the first time I've ever tied a tie for a man. You should be grateful."
"..."
Pah! Who cares about tying your tie! Stop being so presumptuous. I'm being lenient by not strangling you.
Zhang Xinru cursed them all in her mind.
Wang Ma thought the feast prepared in the village was just so-so, not as good as the big table of dishes she had prepared!
"Well, we've already made half of lunch, so maybe Zhang Ma and I won't go, you guys go ahead!"
Zhang Xinru thought about it and decided not to go, lest those two go crazy again.
“Wang Ma is right, you three hurry up! There won’t be any seats left if you’re late.”
"We can just grab a bite at home."
Fu Xiaochen leaned down and kissed Ye Jiajia, not even bothering to glance at them.
"No need to cook at home anymore, everyone can go together."
"Come on, Jiajia, take my arm."
Ye Jiajia, like a little bird, grabbed Fu Xiaochen's arm. "Let's go!"
Zhang Xinru came up with an excuse, "Young Master, it's not appropriate for so many of us to go."
"The villagers only invited Grandma Ye, not us. We're not related to her at all, and besides, we didn't prepare any gift money..."
Dr. Zhao had anticipated her response, and slowly took out a red envelope from his chest.
"Aunt Zhang, is this what you mean? We've already prepared the monetary gift, more than we should have. I'm sure the family will welcome us."
Zhang Xinru: "..."
What else could she possibly say?
