Chapter 311
Celebrating the New Year
Author: Xifeng
During today's Xiaonian meal, Jiang Lu decided to show off her skills. Although she had no talent for cooking, in order to change her son's mind and influence him, she decided to return to the world.
Mother-in-law Zhou was so frightened that she said, "What's that, green? How about I do it? You are so busy on weekdays, it's rare for you to take a break." Mother-in-law Zhou couldn't bear to look at those high-quality ingredients.
"No, mother, you usually cook, so it's just the right time for me to come here today." Jiang Lu poured a plate of chopped pork chops into the pot with his backhand, and then added cooking wine and ginger.
"Hey." Mrs. Zhou couldn't bear to see it. It hadn't been blanched yet, so the plate of meat was ruined.
"Green, I'll get this fish later. It's fishy." Mrs. Zhou didn't give up. As long as she kept one dish, it wouldn't be too bad.
Jiang Lu smiled and said, "Mom, I plan to make pickled fish with this fish. Just bring the sauerkraut for me."
"Hey." Mrs. Zhou went out to get sauerkraut nervously.
Zhou Chunhe came out of the greenhouse and looked around his land. Looking around, he saw that each of the greenhouses covered with film belonged to him. Almost half of the land in Wangjiaba Village was planted with greenhouses, either his or his.
It was planted under his leadership. He wanted fame and profit. The so-called gain of both fame and fortune was nothing more than that.
Zhou Chunhe was a little swollen.
When no one was around, I lit a cigarette, put my hands on my hips, and reveled in the world I had created.
"Brother Chunhe." A surprise interrupted his daydream.
"It's you, Ziqiang." Zhou Chunhe was a little embarrassed, blaming Wang Ziqiang for coming at the wrong time.
"It's me, brother, are you coming back to celebrate the New Year?" Wang Ziqiang was extremely excited. Seeing Zhou Chunhe, he had a lot to say, "Come to my house for dinner tonight. My father has said to invite you several times.
Let’s eat.”
"That's what you said, I went to your house for dinner, who will eat my meal?" Zhou Chunhe said angrily.
Wang Ziqiang scratched his head and said, "How about a date? You're never at home."
"How's your greenhouse vegetable coming out?" Zhou Chunhe asked.
Wang Ziqiang immediately smiled and said, "It's all gone. I've sold two crops of spinach."
"Okay, not bad. Which greenhouse is it now?" Zhou Chunhe squinted his eyes and popped out the cigarette ashes and asked again.
"The second one, I'm thinking about doing the third one after the New Year." Wang Ziqiang changed his previous dejection and became more energetic.
Zhou Chunhe was also infected by his cheerfulness and smiled, "Don't be complacent, take advantage of the good momentum and work hard."
"That's necessary." Wang Ziqiang is really happy. Ever since he planted this greenhouse with Brother Chunhe, paid off his debts, married a wife, and built a new house, his father and mother's brows have finally relaxed.
"Okay, when the new seeds come down, you can go get them from Guanshan and watch the season." Zhou Chunhe stamped out the cigarette butts and walked back.
"Brother, when will you come home for dinner?" Wang Ziqiang still refused to give up.
"Let's see." Zhou Chunhe waved his hand. Who would go to someone else's house to eat during the holidays? You are really ignorant.
When he walked to the door of his house, he saw Mrs. Zhou Huang looking around at the door.
"Mom, what are you looking at?"
When Mrs. Zhou Huang saw her son coming back, she quickly grabbed him and said, "Hurry up and see if you can buy some cooked food now."
Zhou Huang's words were so urgent that Zhou Chunhe laughed so hard, "Mom, there are so many dishes at home today, and we have to buy cooked food, can we finish them all?"
"It's your wife who's cooking the pot tonight!"
As soon as Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, Zhou Chunhe ran towards the direction he came from, "Zi Qiang, let's eat at your house today..."
Naturally, I didn't buy any cooked food. The boss had already closed his stall and went back to celebrate the New Year. Zhou Chunhe calculated the right time and came back. When he came back, his wife's dishes had just been prepared.
The family sat at the table. The dishes were very rich, including fish, meat and shrimp. Except for the two children, the other three adults were a little uneasy.
Zhou Huang was worried that the food on the table would be fed to pigs, what a waste.
Zhou Chunhe was worried that his wife would smell the alcohol on his body.
Jiang Lu was still wondering if there was any salt in the braised shrimp just now.
"Hiccup~" Zhou Chunhe burped.
The other eyes all looked at him.
"What's wrong, you're full before you even eat?" Jiang Lu looked at him.
"No, no, I just went out. What's going on outside? It's windy. I must have drank a little." Zhou Chunhe said nonchalantly.
"Oh, are you full after drinking the wind?" The atmosphere was a bit subtle.
When Zhou Chunhe saw this posture, he quickly lowered his head to eat, "I'm hungry again now."
"Mom, it smells like alcohol." Zhou Tian sniffed.
"What does alcohol smell like? Do you still want to join the army?" Zhou Chunhe threatened openly and covertly.
Zhou Tian looked at his father, then at his mother, "It seems like he's gone again."
Jiang Lu said to her daughter, "Duoduo, go and smell it."
Zhou Chunhe's heart jumped to 180 when he saw his daughter pushing away the chair and coming over.
"Mom, there's the smell of alcohol in dad's mouth." Duoduo pointed.
Jiang Lu swallowed a mouthful of food and didn't pursue it, "Eat."
"Ah, that's it?" Zhou Huang was shocked.
"Mom, let's eat. The food won't taste good when it's cold." Jiang Lu smiled, as if nothing happened.
"No, he obviously went out to drink secretly, but you didn't care?"
"What's the matter? It's normal for him to come back and have some drinks with his former brothers. How can I care about him being so stubborn? After all, he is also the father of two children and the CEO of the company." Jiang Lu said grandly.
Zhou Chunhe was so grateful that he burst into tears.
Jiang Lu kept adding vegetables to Zhou Chunhe's bowl, but finally he couldn't pile it any more, so he brought him another plate and said, "You are the head of the family, eat more, this family is still counting on you."
Zhou Chunhe was lost in the shouts of praise. The food was really unpalatable, but these words sounded so comfortable.
Duoduo and Zhou Tian were about to pick up the vegetables, but Jiang Lu stopped them, "Today's meal is specially to reward your father. Let's go eat noodles. Can grandma eat the noodles?"
Mrs. Zhou almost jumped up, "Okay!"
The two children were not very happy. The noodles were not as delicious as the fish, meat and shrimp. I really don’t know what my mother was thinking. Why is she so partial?!
But Mrs. Zhou Huang ran away from the dinner table without waiting for a moment. She took one bite and couldn't swallow it.
Jiang Lu was also puzzled. He was obviously cooking according to Xiao Fengxian's instructions, but the taste was so different. He didn't expect that his cooking skills had deteriorated again!
Zhou Chunhe was pitiful. He had eaten so happily at Wang Ziqiang's house just now, but now he was in so much pain. Who asked him to eat alone?
Just as Mrs. Zhou was about to come down, Liu Guanshan's daughter-in-law Zhu Chunniang came over carrying a basket, "Where are you eating?"
"Sister-in-law, what are you holding?" Zhou Chunhe asked.
"Didn't I just steam a pot of taro meat and bring some for you to try? This taro noodles are very good with rice."
Zhou Chunhe seemed to have met a Bodhisattva who was rescuing someone in distress. He immediately took over and shouted at the top of his voice, "Mom, there's no need to cook noodles, there are vegetables."
