Chapter 23 Full Moon Wine

"You're going to work soon, so how can you have time to hold the full-moon banquet?" Jia Zhang remembered that her maternity leave should be over soon.

"It's okay. I still have about a month of vacation left." Qin Huairu said after counting the days.

"We must invite this old man's family and Sha Zhu." Qin Huairu thought for a while and said, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu have helped her family a lot, this relationship cannot be broken.

"How about this, I buy a chicken and some vegetables and ask Sha Zhu to help cook, that'll be a big table." Qin Huairu calculated, "It'll cost a lot of money, will other people in the courtyard be invited?"

"What do you want to treat me for? It doesn't cost money to treat a guest." Jia Zhang started nagging again.

"Do you think we should invite Li Shengli from the front yard?" Qin Huairu thought about it. There were two chefs in this yard. If she had a good relationship with Li Shengli, would she be able to get special treatment from him?

"Why invite him?" Jia Zhang's face was full of resentment. Li Shengli was not a good person at all. He took the special treatment but didn't even help his family.

"He's also a cook. Look at the small kitchen that Sha Zhu has been cooking for recently. When the time comes, our two families can visit more often, and the children at home will be able to eat more meat." Qin Huairu calculated while counting on her fingers.

Jia Zhang thought of the small stove that Sha Zhu brought back and swallowed her saliva.

"That's not good. Li Shengli is not familiar with our family, and he doesn't bring much special treatment back." Jia Zhang rubbed the needle on her scalp. She knew from the previous meeting of the whole hospital that this guy was not someone to be trifled with.

"He has brought it. Uncle Sanye has eaten the special meal he brought." Qin Huairu said with certainty. Li Shengli did not bring back the special meal from the steel mill, but he brought a lot of it to his private work.

"He has been in charge of the special kitchen but he doesn't even give a little to our family. He doesn't know how difficult our life is. He is a conscienceless beast." Jia Zhang cursed harshly.

"No, we can't call him." Jia Zhang thought about it and finally refused. Her family was not familiar with Li Shengli's family. If she called others, she would have to call them as well. There were not so many people in the courtyard who brought gifts. It would make a fool of herself in the courtyard.

"Why?" Qin Huairu said in some confusion. This would establish a good relationship with Li Shengli, so there would be one more person to help her when the time comes.

"Are you attracted to him?" Jia Zhang was shocked. Li Shengli was tall and strong, and he was also very energetic. No one in the courtyard could compare to him.

Qin Huairu was also confused. What was Jia Zhang thinking? When Jia Zhang saw that Qin Huairu did not refute, she felt disappointed.

"Okay, I told you, you don't like this heartless Sha Zhu, but you like the young man in the front yard." Jia Zhang was angry and anxious, fearing that Qin Huairu would drive her back to her hometown.

After Jia Dongxu's death, Jia Zhang was in a state of panic, fearing that Qin Huairu would abandon the four of them and remarry.

"Are you worthy of our Dongxu?" Jia Zhang said angrily, staring at Qin Huairu, as if she wanted to see something in Qin Huairu's eyes.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang with red eyes and a little helpless. What was this old woman thinking about?

Seeing that Jia Zhang was still staring at her, Qin Huairu had to give up her little idea.

"Stop yelling, okay."

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu again and again. Seeing that she didn't seem to have that intention, she felt relieved.

"Don't say that I don't let you remarry. You said you took over Dongxu's job, you can't abandon Banggeng and the others." Jia Zhang said with a groan.

"Mom, Dongxu just left, why are you looking at me like this?" Qin Huairu said with red eyes. "You know, once Dongxu left, this family was half broken up. Now I am looking forward to my grandson growing up soon." Jia Zhang sighed with a little guilt.

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu just sat there wiping her tears silently.

"Why are you crying?" Jia Zhang frowned.

Qin Huairu felt even more aggrieved when she heard what Jia Zhang said. Jia Dongxu just left, so what did Jia Zhang think of her? Besides, she still had three children.

Today, the weekend is coming soon.

"Mom, I'm going to discuss with Uncle Yi about holding a full-moon banquet for Huaihua." Qin Huairu put down the work in her hands and said to Jia Zhang when she saw everyone had returned.

"Go ahead, I'll do the housework first." Jia Zhang came over and took over the work from Qin Huairu.

After handing the job over to Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu went to Yi Zhonghai's house opposite.

"Uncle, are you home?" Qin Huairu pushed open the door of Yi Zhonghai's house and shouted inside from the door.

"Huai Ru, is there anything wrong?" Yi Zhonghai was sitting on a recliner to rest. When he heard Qin Huai Ru's call, he sat up, smiled and asked.

"This is what happened, uncle. The sophora japonica is one month old. My mother-in-law and I are thinking of finding a time to invite the three uncles in the courtyard and Sha Zhu and the others to have a meal." Qin Huairu said with a sweet smile.

"Oh, that's what happened." Yi Zhonghai suddenly realized. It was almost the full moon of the Sophora japonica tree. "What are you going to do?"

"Uncle, I'm thinking of asking Sha Zhu to help cook a meal and invite the three of you and the neighbors in the courtyard to have a meal together." Qin Huairu asked in a questioning tone, "Uncle, please tell me who in the courtyard you want to invite."

"We have to invite the second and third uncles. Sha Zhu has helped a lot, and he also needs to help with cooking. The old lady in the backyard is the oldest, so she has to be invited too." Yi Zhonghai muttered to himself while calculating the number of people in his mind.

"Uncle, do we need to invite Li Shengli from the front yard?" Qin Huairu heard Yi Zhonghai muttering in a low voice, and after thinking for a moment, she asked in a low voice.

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Yi Zhonghai glanced at Qin Huairu. Yi Zhonghai knew exactly what Qin Huairu was planning, but Qin Huairu usually took good care of Jia Zhang, so Yi Zhonghai did not expose her.

"It's okay to call them. We are all neighbors in the same courtyard." Yi Zhonghai was quietly calculating his own plans without making any expression.

When Qin Huairu heard that Yi Zhonghai had no objection, she felt secretly delighted and her little plan in her mind began to pound.

"Then please go and call the first uncle, the third uncle and Li Shengli. I will discuss it with Sha Zhu later and then go to the backyard to notify the second uncle." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"What date have you set?" Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement, and was going to go to the front yard to notify after dinner. He thought about it and realized that he had not asked Qin Huairu what date the treat was, so he hurriedly asked.

"Hey, look at my memory." Qin Huairu smiled, "The day after tomorrow is Sunday, and everyone has a day off, so let's set it on Sunday."

"Okay, it's settled. Go discuss with Zhuzi what dishes you want to cook." Yi Zhonghai nodded when he heard the date.
