The main reason was that he couldn't afford to gamble, and he was afraid that people would blame him for what he said, that is, what the man surnamed Cao said, that she kept her daughter in order to marry into a rich family.

So as the three of them walked towards the cafeteria, Shen Zhiqiu said to Fu Huaian with an angry look on his face:

"The main thing is that the most annoying thing is that there are those who are mean-spirited and those who are snobbish.

I have a feeling that if I continue to do this, the threshold of my house will be trampled by matchmakers."

"Who?"

Fu Huai'an asked suddenly.

Shen Zhiqiu was stunned: "Who else could it be? My daughter, your sister.

My daughter, is that someone I can marry casually? Not to mention that she is young now, she won’t be that big even in two years.

If everyone comes to propose marriage one by one and I recommend them one by one, then they will be dirty-minded and say something inappropriate, and your sister's reputation will be ruined."

So, he spoke a few words of truth at random, which made Shen Luming, who was holding his brother's hand, silent.

I thought to myself, "I must study hard and make my father proud."

It just so happened that Old Lady Hua brought Shen Youyou here at this time. The main reason why the old lady was thinking was, "My dear grandson is so careless. I hope the young general's wound will not really get inflamed."

She planned to bring her granddaughter over to take a look. It turned out that it was indeed her granddaughter who forgot. She was still helping his family with work.

Just as I walked into the inner courtyard, I heard a few words that Shen Zhiqiu said.

In fact, Shen Youyou was hearing all this for the first time. She clenched her fist under her sleeve and said, "I will make sure that my father studies hard. After the imperial examination, I will give him a slap in the face."

The old lady next to her turned her head and glanced at her granddaughter, then sighed deeply:

"So there is something else about the resignation. When San'er was an official, she only saw him distributing food and money, and he was respected wherever he went. But now it seems that he has suffered a lot of bullying outside."

Shen Zhiqiu continued: "You don't have to look so gloomy. You are here to have fun. Actually, it's okay to resign. Your uncle will still take the imperial examination and become an official."

Hearing this, Shen Youyou, who just felt sorry for his father, immediately wanted to complain: "Do you really think the imperial examination is as easy as you say?"

As a result, when the two sides met, before Mrs. Hua had time to ask Fu Huaian about his injury, she patted his shoulder comfortingly.

As soon as she raised her hand, Fu Huaian stepped forward and said, "Grandma, I saw you when I first arrived. How come I didn't see you when I got to my uncle's house?"

When someone called her "nanny", Old Lady Hua's hands were about to drop into the air. If someone of such status called her "nanny", would it shorten her life if she responded?

Of course, that shouldn't be very rude.

Fortunately, Shen Zhiqiu came to the rescue in time: "Mom, is Chuan Ting talking to you?"

Mrs. Hua then said, "Ah, I... I was just thinking about letting you stay at home for dinner, so I took the old sisters to the cafeteria to prepare in advance."

Shen Youyou was also afraid that her grandmother would be embarrassed, so she said, "Let's go, the food is ready, we're waiting for you."

But on the way to the cafeteria, Shen Youyou deliberately pulled her grandmother and walked to the back, whispering in her grandmother's ear:

"Grandma, don't be nervous. If he calls me Uncle Dad, isn't that polite for him to call you Grandma? Just think of it as another uncle's kid calling you."

Old Lady Hua thought to herself, "How can this be the same? Can he be the same as those brothers in your clan? If I see anyone who is out of tune, I will dare to step forward and slap him. Him? Do I dare?"

But no matter how brave you are, you have to eat first. The cafeteria now is very different from the previous small cafeteria.

In order to take Fu Huaian's identity into consideration, Mr. Shen had the main table moved to the stage where Shen Youyou planned to perform at the Spring Festival Gala.

Doesn’t great-grandfather mean that this will make you look taller?

Shen Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Let's go to that table."

The stage was high, and one could clearly see the other twenty or so tables below. Shen Youyou immediately felt like she was attending a wedding banquet, except that the people on the stage were not a couple, but a group of people.

In fact, Shen Youyou didn’t know that she didn’t go on the stage. Although Grandpa called her, she just wanted to eat with her sisters.

So I didn't get to experience it, but looking down from the stage, I saw twenty large round tables, each with more than a dozen dishes, and each table was filled with delicious food.

"Come, take a seat."

In fact, according to everyone's intention, Fu Huaian should take the main seat, but Fu Huaian supported Master Shen and let the old man sit in the main seat.

After them came Old Man Shen and the other nine clan elders. However, he and Shen Zhiqiu both sat at the last seat.

The old men felt that the stool was a bit hot on their butts.

In fact, Fu Huaian was particularly happy to be the last one, because he saw a dish right at the end.

When Shen Youyou was frying, Old Lady Hua said, "Why are we frying watermelon rind? We can just eat this dish if we like it, but can we eat it if the young general comes?"

Shen Youyou said: "You know what, I didn't plan to fry it at first. I was going to collect the watermelon rinds to make facial masks. He asked me about their uses and I just randomly mentioned a few. He was curious and wanted to try it."

The old lady rolled her eyes and said, "Even if he is curious and takes a bite, you can't put this dish in front of him. Put it at the back. What kind of thing is this? People come to our house and we let them eat fried watermelon rind."

This has led to the situation we have today.

But even if you change seats, do you think Fu Huai'an can eat it so easily?

Definitely not. This was his second time here. The first time he came, everyone was crowded in that small cafeteria. This time it was more spacious and more formal.

Mainly, it was my second time here, and I was more familiar with it.

Shen Zhiqiu planned to introduce their group to Fu Huaian. Since he said that he felt relaxed coming to his home and liked the atmosphere, they should all get to know each other and come often in the future.

He knew this uncle, so he started by introducing him to Old Man Shen.

The old men knew they were going to eat at the same table with him, so they washed up and changed their clothes before the meal.

I even brushed my teeth for a long time while lying on the table. I was afraid that when I opened my mouth, people would see my yellow teeth and it would affect their appetite.

In fact, the people of the Jiu clan have paid great attention to oral hygiene since Shen Youyou invented the toothbrush.

After all, everyone eats in the same cafeteria and uses a common pot. Even if it is not for Shen Zhiqiu, it is for Shen Youyou.

Because Yoyo is a child who will compromise when she can, and she may be very particular, and she is really particular.

Look, Old Man Shen has been introduced. Old Man Shen smiled with his white teeth and wanted to say something. He nodded at the young general to express his opinion.

As a result, Fu Huaian waited for Shen Zhiqiu to finish speaking: "Chuan Ting, this is my father."

Fu Huaian nodded directly: "Grandpa."

Many old men were stunned at the scene. Is this really happening?

I originally thought that he was optimistic about Xiao Sanzi, and the new military supplies really helped the Northern Expedition Army.

He gave me face by calling me "Uncle", which was quite a courtesy.

Unexpectedly, he is not arrogant at all.

Next, Shen Zhiqiu's second uncle, Shen Changqing, Gao Liehu, and Guo Langzhong were introduced one by one.

The only one left is Li Quan who is still in Zhigu.

But what I didn't expect was that Fu Huaian said: "Second Grandpa, Grandpa Guo..."

He really dared to shout. At this time, even Shunzi below was stunned.

Shen Youyou was also quite surprised: "Are you really planning to become a relative of our family?"

But he dared to call out. The old man was excited inside, but did not respond. He just nodded at him with a flushed face.
