Chapter 22 Ye Shuting's Proposal

"Husband, are you going to farm?"

Liu Qingqing looked at her man strangely and asked, "You know that this man is a lazy man, will he go to farm?"

"Yes, if I don't farm, our family will drink the northwest wind. How can I support your wife like a flower?" Ye Rongyao said with a smile.

"Husband, you are willing to do things, and I support you."

Liu Qingqing said happily. Liu Qingqing also wants her man to do some serious things, instead of being idle all day long at home. After all, living at home requires money. She can’t make money and can’t go out to make money, so she can only make money by relying on her man.

"Well, I'm hungry, let's have a meal." Ye Rongyao said with a touch of his stomach.

"Um."

As he said that, Liu Qingqing happily took Ye Rongyao's hand and walked towards the kitchen.

"Honey, I'll discuss something with you." After breakfast, Liu Qingqing came to Ye Rongyao and said.

"What's the matter?" Ye Rongyao asked in confusion.

"How many days does Shu Ting's house hold a drink? How many gifts should we give?"

Liu Qingqing asked, after more than a year of marriage to the Ye family, Liu Qingqing also knew who was holding a banquet in the village. As long as he invited him to his house, he had to give him a red envelope and have a wedding banquet.

And we have to write down how many gifts we give, and next time we hold a banquet at our own home, we will invite them to take back the gifts we gave. This is the "reward exchange" in the countryside.

"What kind of happy events does her family have? I want us to give gifts?" Ye Rongyao asked in confusion, but he didn't hear about any happy events in their family. Why did he hold a wedding banquet?

"You forgot that Shu Ting was admitted to university? Their family held a wedding banquet to celebrate."

Liu Qingqing said with a blank look at her man. She is really too lazy and doesn't care about anything. She can't even remember Shu Ting's reliance on college.

It turns out that in the countryside, if a child gets admitted to university, it is a great thing, and it is a big deal for the family to be glorious. The family usually holds a big banquet and invites relatives and friends to drink. Of course, the children's teachers and some good classmates and friends are indispensable.

Liu Qingqing and Ye Shuting are best friends. Today, Ye Shuting was the first to invite her. Liu Qingqing had to go. Since she was there, she would have to give gifts. As for how many gifts she would give, she naturally had to discuss with her man.

"Then let's get a red envelope of 220 yuan."

Ye Rongyao thought about it and said, after all, he was not a close relative, and there was no need to cover so much money. You should know that his family has no income yet, and he depends entirely on the old things left by his parents.

“Is it a little less?”

Liu Qingqing said with some embarrassment that she and Ye Shuting are good friends, so she gave her more than 200 yuan in gifts, and Liu Qingqing's face was a little dull.

"How much do you want to give?" Ye Rongyao asked with a smile.

"Isn't this a discussion with you?"

Liu Qingqing said. After all, the family’s money is only a little bit. Liu Qingqing feels that a large amount of money like this, which is more than a few hundred, has to discuss with her man.

If this is known to Liu Qingqing's family or someone you knew before, the eldest lady of the Liu family actually had to discuss with others for a few hundred yuan, she would definitely feel that she was dreaming.

"Then it's three hundred and two."

Ye Rongyao said. You should know that giving gifts of 320 yuan in rural areas is not a small amount, after all, it is not a gift from relatives.

"Then it's three hundred and two, haha, thank you, husband."

Liu Qingqing said happily, Liu Qingqing also knew that in Taoyuan Village, a gift of 320 yuan for such a happy event is really not small.

...

Ye Shuting's house, the old secretary Ye Xianghai answered a call and picked it up. Before Ye Xianghai could say a few words, his voice suddenly became louder: "What did you say? Eight thousand? Are you a national-level special chef? You don't slaughter people like this. We don't need you anymore. Can we find another one?"

As he said that, he angrily dropped the phone. After sitting back to his seat, he didn't say anything, but just picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all. Obviously, this old and spicy old man was angry now!

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Who made you so angry?" Ye Shuting, who was eating, asked with a frown.

Speaking of which, Ye Shuting is a pitiful child. When she was ten years old, her father died in a car accident while working outside. Her mother remarried to another county the second year after her father died. She grew up with her grandfather and grandma since she was a child.

Ye Xianghai nodded without losing his temper and said in a rough voice: "It's that fat chef. Is that fat man who is stupid in rural areas? He used to say it well, but now he has to change his mind. The price has doubled at once, and it costs 8,000 a day. How can you cheat people like this? At worst, we don't need him, let's change people!"

"Dad, this fat man is indeed a bit too immoral. When this happens, he will change his mind temporarily. Isn't this a cheating person? It's not like a person's doing! But if he really doesn't need him, it's time to find someone else? Don't delay Tingting's big affairs, otherwise our family will be embarrassed! After all, Shuting is the first college student in our village to be admitted to a key university!" Ye Shuting's eldest uncle Ye Fugui was also very angry after hearing his father's talk, but he was still a little worried at the end.

After a word, Ye Xianghai was also a little sad. The wrinkles between his brows were twisted into the shape of Sichuan. He was breathing heavily, and he picked up his bamboo cigarette from the side and lit it and started smoking, without saying a word.

"Grandpa, at worst, we won't hold this wedding banquet!" Ye Shuting said when she saw her grandfather's embarrassment.

"What do you know, your kid? If you were admitted to a key university, it would be a matter of glory to our family. It would be a matter of glory to the ancestors. How can you not hold a wedding banquet? Don't think too much about this matter. Your uncle and I will do it. At worst, you can spend 8,000 yuan to invite this fat man." Ye Xianghai thought for a while and said.

After all, in Ye Xianghai's opinion, nothing is more important than holding this wedding banquet for his granddaughter. You must know that it is a very great thing to have a college student in the countryside, especially for college students in key universities. If they don't hold a banquet to invite relatives and friends, and the villagers in the country come to have a wedding banquet, the ancestors in heaven will not agree.

However, Ye Xianghai was also very troubled. He had contacted the master of a restaurant in the town to come to the village to handle the matter ten days ago. At that time, it was agreed that it would be 3,000 days.

But eight days have passed, and as the days are coming, the master suddenly changed his mind and must change it to 8,000 days, otherwise he would not come.

You should know that 8,000 yuan is not a small amount for Ye Xianghai's family, and it is only a day's price. Naturally, I refused to give in, but seeing that the wedding banquet was just a few days ago, I suddenly made such a comeback. If I just recognized the price, I would be really frustrated and felt distressed. After all, my baby granddaughter would need a lot of money to go to college.

"Dad, why don't I give you five thousand dollars first."

Ye Fugui said, and Ye Fugui also knew that his father didn't have much money, so he thought of taking out five thousand dollars from his house and taking it over.

"Come on, would your wife agree?" Ye Xianghai asked with a frown.

"this……"

Ye Fugui was also a little reluctant to get the money from his stingy wife. After all, 5,000 yuan is not a small amount in the countryside.

"Uncle, grandpa, why do we have to hire a chef from the town? We can definitely invite our own village, it must be much cheaper." Ye Shuting said.

"You said your fifth grandfather is in poor health. He can cook a few side dishes and cook a few tables of banquets. He can't stand it." Ye Xianghai said.

The "Fifth Grandpa" in Ye Xianghaikou is his second brother Ye Xiangde. He used to be a chef in the town and his cooking skills are pretty good. In the past, he basically invited him to take charge of the chef when there were any big banquets in the village.

However, since he suffered from a serious illness, his health has been getting worse day by day and he can no longer do heavy work. It is basically impossible to ask him to be a chef.

"I'm not talking about Grandpa Fifth." Ye Shuting shook her head and said.

"Isn't your fifth grandfather?"

Ye Xianghai asked unexpectedly. You should know that Taoyuan Village is so big, everyone's situation, who does what kind of work, and who has the character, Ye Xianghai knows very well that no one in this village has ever been a chef except Ye Xiangde.

"Tingting, do you know any cook?" Ye Fugui asked curiously at his niece.

"We can ask Ye Rongyao to be the chef."

Ye Shuting suggested that since he had eaten the dishes made by Ye Rongyao, Ye Shuting was fascinated by the dishes made by Ye Rongyao. Ye Shuting has been going to Ye Rongyao's house for free these days.

Of course, it is not easy to ask Ye Rongyao, a lazy man, to cook. Every time, Ye Shuting and Liu Qingqing ask for everything. In the end, it was when Liu Qingqing made many "unequal treaties" that he was unwilling to cook for himself.

As for those "unequal treaties", Ye Shuting blushed when she heard it, and she didn't know why Liu Qingqing agreed. If her boyfriend later proposed such an "unequal treaty", would she agree? Ye Shuting slowly thought a little far away.
