In the countryside, the New Year's Eve dinner is already finished before it gets dark.
And in the city, most people are just starting now.
Six o'clock in the evening, county town, Su's house.
After a busy afternoon, Su Ying's mother Wu Qiuping prepared a large table full of dishes.
Their family is not large, originally a family of four.
But Su Ying's sister Su Xuan had married off a few years ago, so there were only a family of three left.
Even with a family of three, Wu Qiuping still cooked a lot of dishes.
This is how everyone respects New Year's Eve, whether in rural or urban areas.
"Hey, today's food is so delicious. Just smelling it will increase your appetite."
Su Shaowen sat at the dining table, looking at the steaming dishes on the table, and shrugged his nose.
Then he picked up a piece of chicken soaked in soup and put it in his mouth.
"This chicken tastes tender and slightly chewy, and the sweet juice is delicious. The more you eat it, the more it tastes. The more you eat it, the more you want to eat it."
Su Shaowen chewed it slowly, and realized that the chicken was no worse than those cooked by the chefs outside.
"Come on, come on, if you keep talking, I will fly."
Although it is a happy thing to be praised by others.
But it has been decades, and Wu Qiuping knows the virtues of her own men.
After all these years, I have never heard him praise anyone.
"Hey, I'm really feeling this. Xiaoying, tell me, is the dish today more delicious than what the chef in that building outside is doing?"
Seeing his old wife giving him a look, Su Shaowen asked his daughter to help him out.
"Hey, don't tell me, I haven't eaten this dish tonight yet. It smells delicious just by smelling it. You see, it's all full of color, flavor and flavor. It's not like my mother's craftsmanship is good."
At this time, Su Ying also knew that coaxing her mother well would be better than anything else.
If I offend my mother, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me in the next few days.
"Okay, okay, you two, father and daughter, stop bragging about me. How can I not know what my level is? This is simply because the material is good. I just do whatever I want."
Wu Qiuping was not dizzy by the praise of the father and daughter. How could she not know what her cooking skills were like over the past few decades?
I can't say it's bad, but I can't say it's particularly good either, which is the level of average women.
When she was chopping vegetables, she discovered that the chicken, duck, fish, and vegetables and mushrooms today were completely different from what she usually bought.
And when she cooks, she does it the same way as usual.
But the dishes produced here are completely different from the usual ones.
My man was right, so he brought it out. In fact, the taste was not much different from what the restaurant chef made.
Whether the food is good or not, the chef who prepares it knows, and after it is done, the people who eat it also know.
Accompanied by the steaming heat wafting throughout the room, even though there were only three people eating, there was still laughter and laughter.
"By the way, Xiaoying, where did you buy your groceries that day? I've been to all these vegetable markets, but this is the first time I've tasted this dish."
That day Chen Ze came back with Chen Ning and his daughter.
She thought the three of them purchased these things from some farmer's market.
Wu Qiuping wanted to ask her daughter where she bought such delicious food.
In the future, I will go there to buy groceries. She gets off work early anyway, so she can go there even if she has to walk a little further to buy groceries.
"Mom, these things are not bought at the farmer's market, these are brought back from Zhang An's house."
When her mother asked, Su Ying told her that these vegetables could not be bought at the farmer's market.
"Zhang An? Have you heard this name before?"
When Wu Qiuping heard her daughter say this name, she felt as if she had heard it before, but was not familiar with it.
"Isn't this the friend who raised sika deer when Xiaoying and her friends went to Changqing River to play last year?"
Because Su Ying said at the time that the sika deer in Zhang An's family were very friendly to people and were free-range, Su Shaowen was deeply impressed.
"That's him. Their family killed a pig for the New Year a few days ago, so Ning Ning, Brother Ze, I, I went to their house to play, and we also had a meal of pig-killing rice. It was delicious. It was better than eating in a restaurant.
.”
When it came to Zhang An's family, Su Ying didn't even know she had changed.
"Dad, Mom, Zhang Anke is amazing. Now they not only have sika deer, but also muntjac, forest musk deer, many beautiful water ducks and rabbits. They can even open a zoo at home."
Su Ying couldn't stop talking about this, as if she was very familiar with it.
"Dad, do you know the Falconer?"
"I've heard of it all, but I've never seen it."
Su Shaowen heard his daughter ask, thought about it and said.
"Zhang An is also a falconer. He raised a goshawk, which was big and obedient. He caught and trained it himself."
Su Ying thought of the scene in the yard that day, when Zhang An only said one sentence and Huatou went to wash his paws by himself.
"Oh? This young man still has this ability?"
When Su Shaowen heard what his daughter said, he was a little surprised. Such a person can be regarded as a strange person.
"That's not true. When we went there, we happened to meet the eagle who went out to hunt for food and came back. There were blood stains on its talons and mouth. We wanted to stand on his shoulders, but he didn't let him go. He just said to wash his hands. Then
The eagle went to the river to wash his talons, and when he came back, he wiped them clean before standing on his shoulders."
Su Ying felt that what was magical was not the taming of the goshawk, but the fact that Zhang An could make Huatou so obedient.
Moreover, at that time, Zhang An had a goshawk on his shoulder, followed by Xiaohu and three dogs, as if they were holding the yellow eagle on the left and holding the eagle on the right.
Su Ying looked at it and felt a little excited.
But Su Ying didn't know it yet, she just thought that this big boy had a nice smile and looked very handsome.
Su Ying didn't know that when she spoke now, there were bubbles in her eyes
Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen were already decades old, and they immediately discovered something different about their daughters.
I saw my daughter beaming with joy when she talked about this young man.
This is the first time that my little daughter has mentioned a boy in front of the couple.
Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen felt that this young man named Zhang An must have an unusual relationship with their daughter.
But thinking about her daughter gave Wu Qiuping a headache.
My youngest daughter is not young anymore, and her appearance is quite outstanding.
But there is one thing: I am too introverted and I am afraid of meeting people.
In the past two years, her family had also introduced her to several boys, but in the end the child went to meet them and left without even saying a few words.
In the end, she didn't even return home and stayed at school on weekdays.
So for Su Ying, their little daughter, the couple is a little overwhelmed.
Now when Wu Qiuping heard her daughter talking about this young man Zhang An, she paid attention.
"Xiaoying, how old is this young man named Zhang An? How many people are there in his family? Where does he work?"
"Zhang An seems to be two or three years younger than me. He is the only child in their family."
Su Ying heard her mother ask herself, without noticing the way her mother looked at her, she told her mother everything she knew.
Wu Qiuping didn't think it was a big deal when she heard that this young man Zhang An's family was from a rural area.
However, Wu Qiuping frowned when she heard that Zhang An was two or three years younger than her youngest daughter and had no job in the village.
She is a bit younger, but her daughter is not too old either.
Zhang An is the only one in the family, a one-child family, which is not bad.
But there is no job here, farming at home, which makes Wu Qiuping lose a lot of impression points.
"Mom, don't look down on people because they don't have jobs. Zhang An is very good at raising fish. This is what our family is eating today. This fish is what Grandpa Chen ordered to eat. You two also know it.
Grandpa Chen must be a talkative person."
I saw my mother frowning when she heard me say that Zhang An had no job, thinking that she was looking down on Zhang An.
"Also, Zhang An spent tens of thousands of yuan to build a three-story courtyard last year. The courtyard alone is bigger than the garden we have downstairs, and they also contracted a hilltop, which costs hundreds of thousands in total.
.”
"So what if the sons of your colleagues have jobs? How can they save so much money on their own if they only earn a few hundred yuan a month?"
After hearing this, Wu Qiuping actually had no opinion at all.
Chen Ze's old man is famous for being picky, and anything he can name must be good. I've tried it myself, and it's really good.
Being skilled means you will have financial resources in the future. I spent tens of thousands of dollars to build a new house in the countryside and contracted a mountain.
This proves that his family does have some foundation and financial strength.
Seeing her little daughter defending Zhang An so much in front of him, Wu Qiuping sighed in her heart, she really has no control over her mother.
Then I thought that my daughter had been to other people’s houses several times, so she must have met Zhang An’s parents.
"Yingying, what kind of people are Zhang An's parents?"
"Uncle Zhang and Aunt Wang are very nice people. Every time we go there, Uncle Zhang will kill chickens and geese for us. Aunt Wang is very good to us. When I see her, I feel like I am seeing my mother. And Aunt Wang does
The food is so delicious.”
I thought that every time I went there, Aunt Wang would hold my hand and talk kindly.
Su Ying felt that Wang Fang was just like her mother.
Hearing what her daughter said, Wu Qiuping thought that her daughter was already in a relationship with Zhang An, and she had also met his parents.
"Well, Yingying, where are you with Zhang An now? When will you bring him back to me and your dad? You have already met his parents, so we can't suffer."
After hearing this, Su Yingcai reacted.
It turns out that my mother thought she and Zhang An were in a relationship.
"Mom, Zhang An and I are just friends. We are not dating."
She didn't feel it just now, but now she realized it. Su Ying suddenly turned red, which was really embarrassing.
Wu Qiuping was a little confused when she heard what her daughter said.
The way my daughter talked about Zhang An just now was like the way she introduced her husband to her parents when she was young.
First, he told the young man how good he was, and he said it in a dazzling way.
Finally, let me tell you, the two of you are not in love with each other yet.
"Yingying, what is your relationship with this young man Zhang An? You just didn't behave like ordinary friends."
At this point, Wu Qiuping started to get serious.
"Mom, we have only known each other for more than half a year, and we have only met a few times in total. Why did we mention this?"
Su Ying looked a little embarrassed now. After hearing what her mother said so straightforwardly, she answered shyly.
But she didn't know that the further she spoke, the softer her voice became, making it almost inaudible.
But then Su Ying discovered that she had no intention of refuting her mother's question just now.
It seems that I wouldn't reject it if I were to be in a relationship with Zhang An.
Although the two of them had not met a few times in total, Su Ying felt a little happy every time she met Zhang An.
She felt that staying with Zhang An was particularly relaxing and comfortable.
As she thought about it, Su Ying couldn't help but picture Zhang An in her mind.
The sunny face of this big boy made Su Ying suddenly smile unconsciously.
Then he suddenly woke up and realized he was at home.
And in front of her parents, Su Ying quickly covered her mouth.
"Mom and Dad, I've finished eating. You eat slowly."
He quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, told his parents, turned around and ran back to the room.
Lying on the bed, Su Ying didn't know why she suddenly became like this when she was fine.
Do you really like Zhang An?
She does not deny that she has always had a crush on Zhang An.
Unknowingly, her mind began to think about her being friends with Zhang Anchu.
In fact, Su Ying didn't know that this was all caused by the space in Zhang An's body.
The aura emanating from the space will make people unconsciously get close to Zhang An as long as they are not on guard against Zhang An.
So Su Ying started to fall in love with Zhang An from the first time they met.
When Wu Qiuping saw her daughter like this, she didn't understand why. This was clearly the look of a young girl pregnant with spring.
"Lao Su, what do you say about this matter?"
Wu Qiuping now understood that her daughter had a crush on this young man.
But I still don’t know what the young man thinks.
"I don't have any objections. This is the only daughter left in the family. As long as she likes it and the young man is a decent person, I have no objections."
In Su Shaowen's eyes, although his family is not considered wealthy.
But my wife and I are a dual-income family, and our family is not short of money.
If my daughter is a virgin, as long as she is satisfied, I will be satisfied too.
He does not expect his younger daughter to marry into a wealthy family, like his older daughter.
Although the conditions in the eldest son-in-law's family are good, such a family also has many rules.
After dinner, Wu Qiuping put away the dishes and chopsticks and went to her daughter's room, intending to talk to her about this matter.
"Yingying, please open the door. Mom will talk to you."
Su Ying opened the door, and behind her, mother and daughter sat on the bed and talked about each other.
"Yingying, tell your mother honestly what you think of Zhang An."
Without Su Shaowen present, Su Ying felt more relaxed when the mother and daughter talked about some boudoir talk.
"Mom, actually I don't know. I just feel that every time I stay with Zhang An, I feel very comfortable and at ease."
"Then how does this young man feel about you?"
Hearing her mother ask this, the blush on Su Ying's face that had just disappeared rose again.
"Mom, how did I know this? They didn't tell me."
Wu Qiuping shook her head as her daughter was still too shy.
"Yingying, if you like this young man, tell him clearly as soon as possible. Don't hide it in your heart all the time. Be more proactive."
"But Mom, we're not that familiar here yet. Wouldn't it be good to do this?"
"Silly girl, what's wrong with this? Mom has been here before. Once you get to know each other very well, you won't be able to say this anymore."
Wu Qiuping talked about this with her daughter as if she had experience.
"Mom, how dare I take the initiative? Besides, even if I like someone, they don't necessarily say they like me."
Su Ying thought about this scene in her mind. If Zhang An didn't mean it, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
"What's so embarrassing about this? It's very easy for a woman to chase a man. When your father and I were educated youths, we met twice. I went to your father to find out."
"If you don't take the initiative, if this young man is a dull person like your father, then just waste it. You think you are still young and beautiful now, but you will become an old man in a few years, and there will be no hope at that time.
Already."
Wu Qiuping looked at her little daughter like this and couldn't figure out why her temperament was different from her own.
At first, I was picky about other young men, but I didn't realize that it was my daughter who had unrequited love.
"Okay, Mom won't say much, you can figure it out for yourself. Mom just said, just hurry up if you like it. Rural boys get married early. If you are like a boring person, you will regret it when others get married."
I wrote this paragraph seven or eight times, but I couldn't get it right no matter how I wrote it. Maybe I'm not good at writing this kind of plot.
Originally, I wanted to write this book without a heroine, but without a heroine, it seems that the subsequent plot cannot be advanced and it is unreasonable.
So everyone just make do with it. I will finish writing the heroine as soon as possible, so that I will write less plots like this in the future.
