"Huh? You have the final say in this house, right?" Auntie's voice came from the kitchen, and Uncle shrank his neck reflexively.
"Oh, my uncle makes the decision on big things, and I have to ask my aunt to take care of the small things. Isn't this always the case at home? My uncle is happy when Eliyi comes, so let Eiliyi have a drink with him." Lu Mingfei took the initiative to help his uncle, and also
Don't forget to remind others, "Eriyi, you drink with uncle, but be careful, we have something to do in the afternoon!"
In fact, it was not because there was anything going on in the afternoon, so Lu Mingfei didn't let Eli Yi drink, because Eli Yi herself couldn't get drunk. The main reason was that Lu Mingfei was afraid that Eli Yi would develop a bad habit of drinking, and because of Eli Yi's
Lu Mingfei was really afraid that she would drink her uncle drunk...but what his uncle said was true. It was the first time for Eli Yi to come to the house, so it was appropriate to drink some wine with her elders.
"Okay." Eriyi showed an expression of satisfaction.
There were new plates at home, glazed and carved. Lu Mingfei wore heat-resistant gloves and plates of dishes were brought to the table. The original square tabletop was opened and turned into a large round table measuring 1.23 meters.
Lu Mingze, who was concentrating on tinkering with the computer in the room, finally reluctantly came out after being urged many times. His aunt's family of three and Lu Mingfei Huiliyi sat around a round table. There were white wine and drinks on the table, freshly cooked.
The dishes are steaming and the atmosphere is like a festival.
"Since I have something else to do in the afternoon, it makes sense to drink less." Uncle asked Eri tentatively, "How about two liang?"
"Two taels...how much is it?" Eriyi asked a little dazedly.
"Not much." The uncle was almost amused by this upright little girl. He took out two mini wine glasses and compared the height of the rims, "That's about it."
"Ah." Eriki's tone was a little disappointed, "It's so little."
"Then drink more." The uncle laughed and said to Lu Mingfei, "Mingfei, your wife is really a drunkard."
"What Jiu Mengzi, can you talk? She is obviously a pretty girl." The aunt glared at the uncle fiercely, then turned to look at Eri with a smile on her face, "Your uncle is a bit crazy, Eri
Li Yi, don't pay attention to him, drink if you want, no one will force you if you don't want to drink, there aren't that many rules at home, so be free."
"I want to have some wine with uncle." Hui Liyi held out the wine glass.
"Look, my niece-in-law still follows me. She loves wine at a young age. In the future, she will definitely be a hero among women at the wine table!" The uncle happily opened a bottle of Dream Blue Collector's Edition at home and gave it to himself.
Watsuri's wine glass is filled to the brim.
"Before you drink, eat some food to fill your stomach. Otherwise, your stomach will be ruined. Try aunt's cooking." Aunt pointed at the food on the table with her chopsticks. "It's not very rich, so I made some home-cooked dishes, such as sweet and sour snacks."
Steak, fish-flavored shredded pork, steamed mandarin fish, etc. I don’t know if they suit my taste.”
"Auntie is so amazing." Eriyi looked at the stacks of delicious and delicious vegetables on the table and sighed sincerely.
Chinese food and Japanese food are fundamentally different. Although home-cooked food may not look as exquisite and gorgeous as a meal in a Michelin-starred restaurant, the aroma is definitely as good as the past, especially after soy sauce, oil and sugar.
The aroma of the baptized meat penetrates your nostrils.
"I'm not that good, I can cook some home-cooked dishes, and I'm pretty good at it." Auntie couldn't help laughing after being praised by Eriyi, "If you think it's delicious, eat more. It's best not to leave any leftovers for me."
Caiha!”
"Sweet and sour pork ribs, aunt's signature dish." Lu Mingfei gave Eliyi a chopstick of lean pork ribs, "When we were kids, Lu Mingze and I would fight to get the sauce inside to mix with the rice."
Eriyi put the piece of sauce-colored pork ribs into her mouth, and her eyes widened the next moment, just like the foreign merchants who came to China for trade in ancient times tasted the first bite of salt and were shocked by the novel taste.
"Oh vaguely!" Eriki was so surprised that she even spoke her native language, "It's delicious!"
"Oh my, is it so delicious? Usually the feedback from people who cook and eat my food every day is average." Auntie glanced at her uncle and Lu Mingze, who were a little guilty, and she asked Eryi with a smile on her face,
"Is this the first time Eri has eaten Chinese food?"
"First time." Eriyi nodded and picked up another chopstick of the amazingly delicious pork ribs. "Chinese food is delicious."
"That's no wonder." Auntie nodded and said happily, "When I went to Japan, I couldn't eat well every day. The food over there is expensive. It's not that the taste is bad, but the presentation is.
It’s pretty good, and it’s okay to eat as a dessert, but if you really want to talk about dinner, we have to look at our Chinese food, soy sauce, MSG and salt, just stir-fry any vegetables, and it’s delicious when paired with rice!”
Fragrant, it was really fragrant. Eriyi didn't even have time to answer her aunt's words, she just nodded and started to cook with her head down. In addition to the magical ribs, there were also magical bamboo shoots, magical eggs and magical fish...these legendary Chinese
Home-cooked dishes are all delicious!
My aunt was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. She was originally worried that it would be difficult to entertain a young girl from a wealthy family, but she didn't expect that she would be satisfied with just a few dishes that could be cooked at home... This would be a good way to make a living.
Auntie can think this way because she hasn't really seen Eriki's appetite.
"Eat food, eat food, and don't delay drinking." The uncle picked up the wine glass and greeted Hui Liyi, "Welcome Hui Liyi to our home for the first time. Mingfei grew up here since he was a child, and he will treat him as his own from now on.
Just like home.”
"Okay, uncle, let's drink." Eriyi was not good at words, but he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He had the air of a heroic woman who "speaks all in the wine".
"Child, drink slowly. This dish requires a slow drink, otherwise you will get drunk easily." The uncle reminded, "Although our city is not as prosperous and has many attractions as Tokyo, it has a different taste. Generations of our family have been
The memories of a generation are all here. If you have time outside of your studies, let Mingfei take you around the city and feel the beauty of our China."
"Eat something good outside, or go to an amusement park or something." As he said that, his uncle began to take out his wallet, seemingly to give Lu Mingfei some money to pick up girls.
"No, no, no, uncle." Lu Mingfei quickly stopped his uncle, "I have already told you that this trip for Eriki and I is at official expense, with all meals and lodging included. Our tutor has also allocated research funds, so we don't need to use them.
Done, don’t talk about family money.”
Lu Mingfei is not lying. Eli Yi is also an "S" grade. The school and Professor Guderian personally provide scholarships. Because Professor Guderian has been promoted to a tenured professor, this year's offer is particularly generous, giving Lu Mingfei
The amount of scholarships awarded has also been increased, which can temporarily alleviate the urgent needs of the poor Lu Mingfei.
"Oh oh oh, then your teacher is quite generous." The uncle put his wallet into his pocket and told Lu Mingfei, "If the school reimburses you, remember to issue an invoice. If you need money, just say hello to your uncle."
"I know, uncle." Lu Mingfei picked up a large piece of garlic with chopsticks and shoveled the rice into his mouth. He hadn't eaten the rice cooked by his aunt for a long time and missed the taste, so his appetite was particularly good today.
Lu Mingze had finished his meal long ago, but he didn't dare to leave the table due to his mother's majesty, so he was on pins and needles... It's not that the little fat man had a bad appetite or appetite today, it was mainly because he took several photos of the new computer
I haven’t had time to post the photo in the group yet.
This feeling of having a pussy but not being able to pretend it is as uncomfortable as holding in a large amount of urine but not being able to find the toilet.
Eriyi was drinking and eating with her uncle. As a normal adult man, and with a great appetite today, Lu Mingfei had already exceeded his level and had eaten three bowls of rice, but now Eriyi was on her fourth bowl.
It has bottomed out.
"This little girl, what's the stomach made of..." Auntie murmured dully, already stunned by Eri Yi's appetite.
For the five of them, she made eight large and small dishes and one soup. Now the vegetable soup on the table was almost all gone, and more than half of it went into the stomach of Eri Yi alone. Auntie was very happy that someone could confirm her craftsmanship.
But at the same time she was frightened.
Auntie took back those words in her heart... She is indeed a girl from a wealthy family. Such an ordinary family really can't afford to raise her!
"I'm full, I'm full. I ate well today." Lu Mingfei patted his belly, feeling so satisfied after eating for a long time.
"Mingfei, I'm busy with my studies, so I go home occasionally." Auntie said, "Lest your parents know about it and think that your aunt's family doesn't want to see you."
When the words "mom and dad" were mentioned, Lu Mingfei fell silent for a moment. His uncle, who was having a good time drinking with Eriyi, was also stunned for a while, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly cooled down.
At this time, Aunt Shen, no matter how slow she was, knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she looked at her uncle with pleading eyes.
"Ahem, you said it was the same for you. Why did you suddenly bring up this topic at this time?" The uncle explained in the most straightforward way, "Obviously his parents... are indeed busy, and it's definitely not that they don't want to see you, Eri Yi, please
It’s not that I can’t contact them, they will definitely come back to see you if they find out about this.”
"Sakura told me." Eriki nodded and said, not minding the matter at all.
"Oh, I don't know what those two people have been busy with abroad. With such a good son and daughter-in-law, it would be better to come back and live a good life." The aunt also followed the uncle's words and complained, trying to dilute the embarrassing atmosphere, "Work is really
Is it so important? They are all in their forties, and they are still as willful as young people."
"I understand them." Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke, and he said in a very calm tone, "Everyone has his own life. Children or worldly things are not shackles in life. Some people seek comfort, and some
People pursue freedom. Some people only want to stay in one place in their lives, while some people have wind in their blood and are on the road their whole lives."
"Oh, what Mingfei said is very knowledgeable." Seeing that Lu Mingfei was not depressed at all, the aunt smiled again and said, "After all, top students who studied abroad have become philosophers."
"No, I learned a lot of what I said from books." Lu Mingfei also smiled at his aunt, "There are many customs like this abroad. Maybe Eriki and I will live like this in the future."
"You young people have many ideas." The aunt looked at Lu Mingze and said in the tone of Lu Mingfei's impression of a Chinese housewife, "We in this generation hope that our children will grow up healthy and look forward to them.
If we are promising, we will buy a new car this year and a big house next year. We will not have to worry about food, rice, oil and salt, and we will buy things for our family bit by bit. This is what we look forward to in life."
In other words, life is like this.
This is probably the life of most ordinary people in this world. Lu Mingfei once had the same idea: marry a wife who is not very good-looking but can live a good life, and have a son who is not very promising but does not need to be worried too much.
, living an ordinary life without worrying about food or clothing is already happier than most people in the world, isn't it?
But some people in this world are destined to be born extraordinary, some are mediocre, and some must be completely different. Their fate is so determined that they have no choice.
Eriyi toasted her uncle with the last glass of wine. At first, it was two taels per person, but by the end, the whole bottle of Dream Blue was almost empty. Eriyi didn't feel any strange, but uncle was really embarrassed. He drank more.
Most likely you will be drunk.
"That's all for drinking today, hahahaha." The uncle was a bit tongue-tied when he spoke, but it was obvious that he was very happy, "Eriyi has a good drinking capacity. If you practice more, you will be invincible in the wine shop. Come again next time.
Uncle will entertain you with better wine."
"Thank you, uncle." Eriki replied politely.
"Are you full, Eri?" Auntie looked at the CDs on the table. She still couldn't imagine that it was enough for a family of three to eat for three days, and that most of the meal went into a girl's stomach.
The key is that she is still so thin?
"I'm full, thank you, Auntie." Eriyi nodded obediently, "Today's food was great. I've never tasted such a special dish before."
"I'll be embarrassed if I praise Auntie again." Auntie put away the plate and smiled at the little girl. "I think it's delicious. I'll let Mingfei take you home more often and Auntie will cook it for you. You'll have a good appetite!"
"I'll take it, Auntie." Lu Mingfei volunteered, "I'll help you wash the dishes first, and then take Eriyi out. We won't go home to eat in the evening."
"No, if you have something to do, you should go out first." In front of Eryi, Auntie would definitely not let Lu Mingfei clean the dishes, "Isn't it going to rain in the next few days? Anyway, I'll go there first in the afternoon.
Buy some food, whether you are eating at home or not, there will always be something at home."
"Then I'll bother Auntie." Lu Mingfei looked at the time and took Hui Liyi's hand, "Then I will go out with Hui Liyi."
"The whole family says it's not troublesome." Auntie walked towards the kitchen. Suddenly she remembered something and turned around to remind her, "Oh yes, bring an umbrella with you when you go out. It seems like it will rain at any time. I'll catch a cold."
Trouble."
But no one responded to her. The door to the house had been gently closed. Lu Mingze had already slipped back to his room. His uncle was lying on the dining table snoring. He had drunk too much.
"These two children are acting very fast, as if someone is chasing them from behind." Auntie washed the dishes and looked up out of the window, "The weather is really weird."
At the edge of the city, lead-black clouds slowly advanced.
