In the living room, the grandfather was chatting with An Jie, surrounded by a group of people. Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue helped to greet everyone, add water and eat melon seeds, and everyone chatted together.
From time to time a child would run out, complaining about so and so bullying her, and then running over secretly grabbing some candies and running out, and cheers could be heard from the yard.
Yu Bei sat next to Jiang Ningning, and the two young men took turns questioning each other as if they were being interrogated.
Of course, everyone has a sense of propriety, and they only ask about work matters, and if anything else, it’s about the situation at home.
Everyone knows this about Yu Bei's situation.
He was an orphan and was later raised by veterans.
Now, the military camp is his home.
As for Jiang Ningning's situation, Yu Bei was also shocked when Jiang Yafei revealed the situation at home.
Especially after hearing Jiang Defu's identity, his body trembled.
Not only Yu Bei, but also Lou Xiao'e were also surprised. They didn't expect that Jiang Ningning, who was usually unassuming, had such a profound background.
Liu Lixue, on the other hand, did not react to this, as if she had known about it for a long time.
While the others were talking, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye were busy in the kitchen.
kitchen.
Yang Xiaotao is picking up the carp with a knife in his hand, while Ran Qiuye is kneading the dough. There are many people tonight, so everyone is going to make dumplings together.
"I saw Lao Yu's car coming back. Where is the person? Didn't he come?"
Yang Xiaotao opened the belly of the fish. In order to survive the winter, the fish had eaten a lot and had a thick layer of fat.
Ran Qiuye kneaded the dough and then started to chop the meat and cabbage.
"I came back in the middle of the afternoon. Sister Cuiping went back to her hometown. There was no one at home."
Yang Xiaotao raised his head and asked, "Is there anyone at home?"
Ran Qiuye nodded, "Yu is not at home. Someone from the street office came just now, and he followed him out."
"Street office? Could it be that there is something else going on?"
"Not sure."
While the two were talking, Ran Qiuye had already mixed the dumpling fillings. After saying hello, Jiang Yafei and Lou Xiao'e came in to help. They rolled out the dough and wrapped it, and time flew by.
When it got dark, Lao Dao returned to the yard and was dragged into the house by Duanwu.
"I can smell the aroma of fish before I even come in. It seems like a distinguished guest is coming."
Yang Xiaotao came out and said, "Yes, I always have distinguished guests at my house every day."
The master introduced An Jie, but the old man took Yang Xiaotao's words seriously and said, "Don't tempt me with sugar-coated bullets. I won't do that."
Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Would you like to eat the fish?"
The old Taoist snorted, "Of course you have to eat it."
The old man took the old man into the house, and they started chatting again.
The old Taoist looked at Yu Bei, then at Jiang Ningning, and then asked them their birth dates.
Jiang Ningning is okay, Jiang Yafei remembers it.
Yu Bei doesn't even know his birthday, how can you say that?
The old Taoist asked Yu Bei to tell him a date, but Yu Bei hesitated and regarded the day when the veteran picked him up as his birthday.
The old Taoist nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then he counted with his fingers and murmured for a while, "Infinite Heavenly Lord, if the two of you have the same horoscope, you will live a long and happy life."
Both of them laughed when they heard this.
Lou Xiao'e was even more curious, "Master Zhang, are you really that good at telling fortunes?"
The old Taoist stroked his beard and said, "When you meet a destined person, it will naturally become true."
Mr. Yang laughed loudly after hearing this. It was not him who had the final say whether there was a fate or not.
I've seen this charlatan a lot.
However, he and Lao Dao have become close during this time, and he knows what kind of person Lao Dao is, and understands that what Lao Dao said is just a good thing.
Otherwise, if you can figure it out by just giving a horoscope, then what's the point?
Zhang Banxian.
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes, "Well, Mr. Zhang, show me how many children I will have?"
Liu Lixue on the side rolled her eyes after hearing this. This guy is not a man yet, he only thinks about his children.
The old Taoist also became interested and said, "Extend your right hand and take a look."
Lou Xiao'e opened her hand and put it in front of her. The old Taoist frowned after looking at it for a while, then glanced at Lou Xiao'e's Tianling Cap. He touched his beard with his hand and thought for a moment before saying, "You, it's hard to say."
"Why is it hard to say?"
The old Taoist frowned, and then said, "If you think about it, you should have a son."
"It's just that from the look on his face, it's strange that he doesn't have this son, the Infinite Heavenly Lord."
Lou Xiao'e suddenly understood after hearing this, and immediately raised her hands to Zhang Laodao, "Master Zhang is really awesome, everything he said is right."
Everyone was still curious, but Lou Xiao'e grabbed Duanwu who ran in to steal the melon seeds and hugged her in her arms, "Isn't my godson just a son?"
"Right, Dragon Boat Festival!"
Dragon Boat Festival grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds and prepared to go out to share them with his friends. Who else wanted to hear anything else, so he nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes!"
"This is my godmother's good son."
Everyone nodded after hearing this. The old Taoist also thought that this might be the case and didn't care.
Soon, the fish came out of the pan and the dumplings began to be cooked.
Ran Qiuye was guarding the stove, and everyone was sitting at the table, preparing to serve food and wine.
"I came back at the right time."
Yu Zecheng's voice came from the door, holding two bottles of wine in his hand.
Yang Xiaotao hurriedly went out to greet him, "Well, it's better to come early than to come by chance."
With that said, he welcomed Yu Zecheng into the home, and then introduced him again.
When Yu Bei saw Yu Zecheng, the two nodded. Looking at their expressions, Yang Xiaotao felt as if they had known each other for a long time, but he didn't ask much.
On the dinner table, there are six hard dishes: braised carp, braised pork ribs, pork head, dry-fried tenderloin, stir-fried pork with tofu, and stir-fried pork.
There are also fried peanuts, cold cabbage hearts, tofu mixed with spring onions and salted duck eggs cut into one-tenth.
The ten hot and cold dishes left everyone present speechless.
Ordinary people have to wait until the festival to eat a meat dish. Even workers in the city have to get enough meat stamps to afford food stamps.
Even the Jiang family, with Jiang Defu's allowance, would have to wait and see if they wanted to have such a meal.
More importantly, there must be someone to cook.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of ingredients, which would be heartbreaking.
It can be seen that the Yang family received a lot of blood this time.
It is absolutely sincere.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Come on, come on, I propose that our first glass of wine be given to Comrade Yang Xiaotao."
"This table of food is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Jiang Yafei said to Yang Xiaotao while holding a wine glass, and everyone nodded.
Especially An Jie, Jiang Ningning and Yu Bei, they don't know much about Yang Xiaotao.
But Lou Xiaoe and the others have long been used to it.
Everyone knows that Mr. Yang’s cooking skills are no worse than those of a great chef.
"As Aunt Yafei said, if you want to eat, come here. Is there any way I can cook it for you?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and picked up the wine glass, "Thank you everyone for supporting me. I will work harder to serve the people in the future."
bang bang bang
Duanwu applauded on the side, everyone was stunned, and then they all laughed.
"Yu Bei!"
Yang Xiaotao winked, Yu Bei understood, and then stood up, "Grandma, Aunt Yafei, I, I will definitely treat Ningning well from now on."
"I, I'll do it first out of respect."
"good!"
Jiang Ningning's face turned red with embarrassment, but there was sweetness in her eyes.
There's nothing I can do about it, they both see eye to eye, and if they hurry up, they'll probably be able to get the certificate tomorrow.
This is the characteristic given by the times, blind date, very quickly.
And the success rate is very high.
Everyone was drinking and eating, Ran Qiuye, Jiang Ningning and the others just had a few drinks, but Jiang Yafei, Yang Xiaotao and the others were drinking and drinking.
Maybe it was his first time drinking with Yang Xiaotao, maybe he had a sweetheart watching here, or maybe he wanted to show off, so Yu Bei also drank freely without knowing how to refuse.
Several people drank two bottles of wine in a short time, and the scene became heated.
"Miaomiao, go get some wine from the house."
Miaomiao was chewing chicken feet. After hearing this, she immediately asked, "Dad, which cabinet are you getting?"
"From the top, bring two bottles."
Yang Xiaotao said happily, "This time, when we meet a close friend, a thousand cups will be too little."
Then he looked at Yu Bei who was standing aside. This guy could drink, at least better than Brother Lao Wang.
Then there was Jiang Yafei, who was also a heroine among girls. She followed quietly and drank a lot.
After hearing this, Miao Miao turned around and ran into the back room to get some wine.
The old Taoist laughed at the side and said, "This kid is bleeding and won't keep it for the New Year?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "There is also New Year's wine. Today is more lively than the New Year, so you have to drink good wine."
While talking, Miaomiao came over with two wine bags. Jiang Yafei looked at it and immediately smiled and said, "This Maotai?"
The old Taoist even nodded, "The boss gave it to me last time, but most people can't drink it."
The master didn't care, he took the bottle directly, then touched Miao Miao's head, then opened the cork, "Here, let's have a taste of the good wine."
"Dragon Boat Festival, pour wine for the adults."
Duan Wu stood up immediately and poured wine with a sullen face.
I have to say that this little guy has learned a lot about the etiquette of pouring wine during his time in the countryside.
"Come on. Let's try it too."
Anjie likes the Dragon Boat Festival, and the little guy is not afraid of the stage to help everyone.
The room became lively again.
"I've been very busy these two days."
While he was drinking, Yang Xiaotao asked.
Yu Zecheng shook his head, "Those who are so busy are passing through the house without even entering."
"It finally calmed down, and when I came back one day, something happened again."
"What's the matter?"
Yu Zecheng lowered his voice and said, "Yi Zhonghai from the courtyard went to the street office to report the situation, which involves matters in this courtyard."
"What's going on in this courtyard? That, butterfly?"
"Yes, this guy remembered some things from back then and thought it would be useful, so he went to the street to do it."
"The street office couldn't handle it, so they found us."
After Yu Zecheng finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao was curious, "What next?"
"Then the newspaper office he mentioned was destroyed by us long ago."
Having said this, Yu Zecheng picked up his chopsticks and said, "You really think we are eating dry food."
Yang Xiaotao nodded seriously, "Anyway, you will have to work hard for a long time."
After hearing this, Yu Zecheng shook his head helplessly, "That's right, I probably have to eat this for the rest of my life."
Yu Bei listened in confusion, but he knew about Yu Zecheng and had some understanding of the nature of his work, so he didn't interfere too much.
"The things in Shanghai are finally over."
"We've been catching ghosts these past two days, and they've been doing a lot of work over there."
Yu Zecheng knew what Yang Xiaotao wanted to ask, so he summarized the situation in less important terms.
Yang Xiaotao nodded silently after hearing this.
Intermediate Court.
Yi Zhonghai lay on the bed and looked at the food on the table listlessly.
"Lao Yi, let's have something to eat."
The eldest mother said carefully next to her. After Qin Huairu fed the two children, she took the steamed buns and started eating by herself.
There was Qin Jingru beside her, eating some steamed buns and looking out the window.
You don’t need to look at the Yang family’s food, you can tell it’s delicious just by smelling it.
Gudong
Swallowing her saliva, Qin Jingru decided to go to Xu Damao tomorrow to see how much money he had earned during this period. He wouldn't need it here anyway, so he could use it to improve his food and ensure his body's nutrition, which would be worthy of their old Xu family.
"Oh, it's still too late."
Yi Zhonghai felt regretful.
After Yu Zecheng told him that he had grasped the situation and arrested him, he knew that he was right.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
In the end, good work has become a hindrance and nothing has been gained.
Regret.
"Master, if you think about it again, there might be something else."
Qin Huairu teased from the side, "Don't think of it too late, and someone else will get ahead of you."
Yi Zhonghai did not refute after hearing this, his brows knitted together tightly.
As soon as the aunt saw it, she knew that her man was going to get into trouble again.
After dinner, Qin Jingru went home to catch the cold, while Qin Huairu took care of her children to sleep. Just looking at the noise outside the hospital made her chest feel tight.
It's really hard to see the Yang family prospering all day long, and it's even harder than my own family to suffer.
"Tomorrow I will go to Guanjiazhuangzi."
After Qin Huairu went back to the house to sleep, Yi Zhonghai suddenly said.
"What are you doing there? Looking for Silly Pillar?"
Yi Zhonghai nodded, "Tomorrow, give me two yuan and I'll bring some meat."
"Silly Zhu, no matter what, it's good enough for us."
After hearing this, the aunt looked back at the back room and then nodded.
Thinking of Shazhu's constant help in this courtyard in those years, especially after Jia Dongxu left, the three families' lives depended on his lunch box.
