"But they don't know how to cook. The food cooked by my mother is so delicious, no one can compare with it, okay?" Meng Qiyu's voice was serious, "If you can't eat the food cooked by your mother, you won't be happy no matter how much money you have."
.”
Meng Qi sighed after the vicissitudes of life: "Oh, it would be great if my sister was a foodie like you." But she is a little money-lover.
He stood up, beat his numb legs, and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "Get up, I don't want to persuade you anymore. It's fine for my sister to go back to her own home."
"No, I have to persuade, I have to persuade..."
Although his sister is always aggressive towards him and always competes with him for food, she is still his sister, how can she be taken away by others?
He doesn't want to!
Meng Qiyu followed him and started shouting, but until lunch, he could not convince his elder brother.
Shen Qingqing was in charge of lunch, with others helping out. Qi Xingtang, who knew nothing about the kitchen, was devoted to pleasing Meng Qixue.
"Xue Bao, don't you think this little golden tiger is cute? Daddy went to the gold shop to buy it for you yesterday. Do you like it?"
Meng Qixue: "Absolutely."
"What about this little Buddha statue? Look, he is still smiling at you."
"well enough."
"Then if you have anything you like, tell dad and he will buy it for you."
"I like the stars in the sky, can you buy this too?"
"..."
After a negotiation, Qi Xingtang felt physically and mentally exhausted. His daughter was really difficult to coax, much more difficult to coax than those business veterans.
The voice calling for dinner in the kitchen promptly saved Qi Xingtang, who was so embarrassed that he was picking at his feet. As if he had received an amnesty, he waved his hand to Meng Qixue, said "Let's talk next time" and ran into the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Entering the kitchen and smelling the aroma that reached straight to the sky, Qi Xingtang became energetic again, "Wow, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are really good. Are you interested in opening a store? Let's be a partnership. I will provide the capital and you will contribute the cooking skills."
Ning Shi glared at him, "Can you change your habit of negotiating business with everyone? Qingqing owns a shop and the business is going well."
"Ah, that was me being abrupt." Qi Xingtang laughed awkwardly.
"The customers in the store keep urging me to open a branch. Maybe we can really cooperate." Shen Qingqing said with a smile.
"Okay, if you want to branch out one day, you must come to me. It's easy to discuss cooperation."
While talking and laughing, the food was served.
Ning and Qi Xingtang often travel around for business matters and have tasted all kinds of food in the world, but they don't recognize half of the food in front of them, let alone eat it!
Shen Qingqing introduced various dishes with a smile, and Ning was amazed, "It turns out there are so many good things in the mountains. Can you call me next time when you go to dig wild vegetables? I also want to learn more about them."
"Of course. There will be many opportunities for us to get along in the future."
With a double entendre, Ning understood the meaning of her words, pursed her lips and smiled, "I heard Xuebao said that your cooking skills are very good, so I won't be polite today."
Everyone stopped refusing and picked up their chopsticks to eat the food.
This meal was a feast for both the guests and the host, except of course the brothers Dabao and Sanbao.
After lunch, Meng Qixue took out the gift she had prepared in advance and handed it to Ning with a solemn expression, "Aunt Ning, no, mother, this is a gift from me. See if you like it."
Ning didn't expect that her daughter would buy her a gift, and she was a little overjoyed for a moment, "I like it, I like it very much."
"You haven't read it yet, how come you like it?"
"As long as it's from Xuebao, my mother likes it!" Ning hugged her, then opened the box and put on the earrings on the spot, turning her head to show off to Qi Xingtang: "Xingtang, do you think the earrings my daughter gave me are beautiful?
"
"Beautiful, these are the most beautiful earrings I have ever seen."
But...what about his gift?
Qi Xingtang glanced at Meng Qixue secretly, feeling extremely sad, but he still pretended to grin as if nothing had happened.
Smiling, the hem of her clothes was pulled down. Meng Qixue raised her right hand and stretched it out in front of him. In her white and tender palm lay a little rabbit made of dog's tail grass.
Qi Xingtang's eyes widened in shock, "Is it for, for me?"
Meng Qixue nodded and was about to explain to him why she didn't buy a gift this time. Qi Xingtang had already taken the little rabbit with joy, closed his eyes and praised: "Is this a rabbit made by Xuebao? It's so beautiful, better than the real thing.
Rabbit is real!”
Seeing that he was so happy, Meng Qixue felt embarrassed and said with a blushing face: "Actually, I didn't buy you a gift. This little rabbit is proof that I owe you a gift. Can I make up for it next time?"
"Okay, whatever you say is fine." Qi Xingtang held the little rabbit in his hands like a treasure and asked her carefully: "Xue Bao, don't you remember grudges against me?"
Meng Qixue shook her head, "I don't hold grudges anymore. I think you're pretty good. I just said such outrageous things, but you weren't even angry."
If you don't really like her, why would you indulge her so much?
"It's not too much. It was dad who did something wrong first. It's right for you to be angry and resent dad." Qi Xingtang wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, feeling sour and sweet in his heart, with all kinds of mixed feelings.
"Mother said, the past is past, we all have to look forward." Meng Qixue turned her head and looked at Shen Qingqing aside, smiling proudly, "Mother, am I right?"
Shen Qingqing smiled and nodded, "Xue Bao is right."
Seeing his daughter's cute and well-behaved appearance, Qi Xingtang's heart melted. He sniffed, squatted in front of Meng Qixue, and said in a gentle voice: "Dad, I have another question to ask you. Do you want to stay here?"
, or do you want to go to another home with your parents?"
The other three kids all pricked up their ears when they heard this. Meng Qiyu couldn't stop crying, "Sister, don't go, wuwu, don't go. I will never steal the meat from your bowl again. I
I’ll save all the goodies for you!”
Meng Qifeng quickly covered his mouth, "Didn't we agree not to persuade him?"
"If you want to persuade me, I will persuade you. I don't want my sister to leave!" Meng Qiyu was like a shrimp just fished out of the river, jumping around in panic.
Shen Qingqing quickly stepped forward and hugged him, "Yu'er won't cry, let's ask my sister first, okay? Ask my sister first."
Meng Qiyu turned to look at Meng Qixue aggrievedly, "Sister, do you want to leave?"
Meng Qixue asked him: "You will never steal the meat from my bowl again? Really?"
Meng Qiyu nodded vigorously, "I lied to you that I was a puppy!"
"Then I can think about it." Meng Qixue touched her chin pretendingly, thought for a moment and then shook her head, "No, I have to add one more thing. From now on, you have to listen to me and let me experience the feeling of being a sister."
"Okay!" Meng Qiyu continued to nod.
No matter if you are an elder brother or a younger brother, as long as you can keep your sister!
At this time, Meng Qixue finally couldn't hold it in anymore, and laughed loudly with her hands on her hips, "Meng Qiyu, remember what you said today, from now on I will be your sister, give me all the delicious food!"
Soon after, facing Meng Qiyu who was barking like a dog while stealing her meat, she finally understood a truth: whoever believes in her second brother's words is a fool! This chapter has been completed!
