When Xiang Jin and his parents came back, they caught up with Boss Jin personally bringing in a large basin of fragrant mutton soup. The soup was milky white, as if milk had been poured into it, and there were a few bright red dates floating in it.
Like wolfberry, the color is very tempting.
After placing the large basin of mutton soup on the round stove on the table, he personally turned on the stove for them. Then a layer of white mist floated on the milky white mutton soup, and then
The soup started to boil gurglingly.
Then he wanted to serve them soup, but Xiang Jin and the others refused. Xiang Jin and his parents asked each other to do their work. They didn't need to take care of them here. They could just do it themselves.
When Boss Jin saw this, he nodded, "Well, Secretary, President Xia, just use it slowly. If you need anything, just call us."
Everyone just nodded.
Then Ouyang Bo stood up on his own initiative, took the kettle on the side and quickly scalded the bowls and chopsticks in front of everyone, and then served everyone a bowl of soup.
"Everyone, please be casual. You're welcome. We're not outsiders," Xiang Jin's mother greeted everyone.
Several people nodded and said "Okay!"
Ouyang Bo took a sip of the mutton soup and said, "It's delicious!"
Xiang Jin's father smiled and said, "I heard that their soup is made with mutton bones and fish."
Everyone nodded, and Han Che said, "No wonder it's so fresh."
Then his dad turned back and glanced at the wall behind him, "Now, when eating mutton, you can't eat it with the foods mentioned on the wall behind it."
Everyone looked at the wall and saw that it said that mutton cannot be eaten with peas, conch, cheese, tea, watermelon, pumpkin, bamboo shoots and other ingredients. The adverse reactions after eating it were clearly written.
Chu's.
Everyone agreed that this boss was very kind-hearted and considerate in doing business. After seeing this, Han Che nodded and said, "Well, I learned it!"
Yan Chen also said, "Indeed!"
Then Xiang Jin's father said, "Let's eat some of the haggis in the pot first, and we can cook the mutton later."
So Xiang Jin's brother picked up a small colander next to him and scooped out a spoonful for everyone.
Xiang Jin's father said, "I didn't order much of this because there are some other dishes at the back."
Just when everyone was getting excited about simmering the mutton, Boss Jin came in with another person carrying a large aluminum kettle. The person had a large tray on his shoulders, which was full of food.
The ground is full of meat, and people can’t help but gasp when they see it.
Lei Jia said, "Wow, so many?"
Xiang Jin's father said, "You are all Xiaojin's good friends, and it is rare for you to come to our place, so I selected some ingredients from various parts of the sheep."
When the dish was served, Boss Jin kept introducing it to them, "This is lamb head meat. It contains lamb face meat, lamb lips, lamb tongue, and eyes. Don't listen to these sheep eyes to scare you.
It actually tastes very good, and the meat is crispy, chewy, and you can try it later."
Everyone nodded, and then Boss Jin picked up other dishes and put them on the table, "This is the lamb neck, this meat is both fat and lean, this is the lamb shoulder, this is the cumin grilled lamb chops, and this is the stewed lamb trotters."
, this is grilled lamb kebabs, this is braised lamb liver, this is stir-fried lamb kidneys, this is braised lamb brains with tofu and nourishing blood, everyone should try it, let’s see how it tastes at our house,
If you have any shortcomings, please give us your feedback.”
Han Che directly gave a thumbs up to Boss Jin, "No objection, no objection. Boss, your mutton soup is delicious, very fresh, without any smell."
Then Boss Jin laughed heartily, and his slender eyes narrowed into a slit, "Where we are is a grassland, and we have been eating mutton and beef since we were young, so we have a unique way of doing it."
The secret recipe for cooking lamb.”
Everyone nodded again, and then Boss Jin picked up the aluminum kettle he had brought just now from the cabinet next to him, added some more mutton soup into the pot, and then said to Xiang Jin's father, "
Secretary Ouyang and President Xia, have all the dishes you ordered served?"
Xiang Jin's father nodded and said, "Okay, thank you!"
Then Boss Jin said, "Secretary, you are very polite. I am the one thanking you for coming to our restaurant to eat. Okay, please take it easy." With that, he exited.
Xiang Jin's mother then greeted her home and said, "Come on, everyone, eat quickly. These are hot dishes, don't let them get cold."
Han Che looked at the dishes on the large table in front of him and said, "This northerner is so sincere and sincere. He eats everything in large plates. There are so many dishes, and each one is full of appetite. I don't want to eat anything."
You know which dish to eat first."
Everyone at the table laughed.
Xiang Jin directly picked up a few mutton skewers on the plate and divided a skewer for everyone, "Eat this first!"
"Well, it's delicious, delicious, fat but not greasy, and the taste of cumin and chili is just right," she couldn't help but say after biting off a piece of meat from the stick and eating it.
Yan Chen nodded and said, "Well, it tastes really good, and it's quite strong."
Xiang Jin looked at him sideways and said, "There are also mutton chops there. I think that mutton chops taste good too."
Yan Chen said, "Should we try it later?"
Xiang Jin nodded, and after finishing a bunch of kebabs, she immediately started to eat a lamb chop, "Oh, this lamb chop is well grilled. It looks dry on the outside.
But it’s actually crispy on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside. It’s much more delicious than what we make. It seems that only an authentic person can make such a unique dish. There is indeed a secret recipe!”
Yan Chen glanced at her sideways and smiled, "You have become a review expert tonight. Come on, try this mutton cheek meat again. It tastes pretty good." As he said that, he poured a piece of water into his mouth.
The lamb cheek was placed next to a dipping plate in front of her.
Xiang Jin nodded "Yeah, yeah," and after swallowing the food in her mouth, she directly wrapped the piece of mutton cheek meat that he gave her with some sauce and ate it in her mouth, feeling it thoroughly.
After turning it over, she nodded again and again and said, "Well, the meat is delicate, tender and juicy, and it also has a soft and glutinous texture. Well, it's delicious, delicious! Oh, you all should try it too! Lei Jia,
Han Che?"
They both nodded and said they knew, and then extended their hands to the plate.
Everyone was very satisfied with their meal. Everyone drank at least three bowls of mutton soup alone, plus all kinds of dishes.
They ate from around six o'clock to around eight o'clock. Except for the plate of stir-fried lamb kidneys and braised lamb brains, as well as the plate of stewed lamb trotters and mutton skewers, at least some of the other dishes were left.
Half of the dish.
Finally, when paying the bill, Xiang Jin and the others naturally asked the waiter to bring bags and food boxes to take away, along with the mutton soup of course. The boss also enthusiastically gave them some fresh and clean sauce.
Dips.
When they finally paid for the bill at the bar, they met a few familiar people from another family in their compound. They all greeted each other, and Xiang Jin and Ouyang Bo also politely went up to say hello to each other.
, and then the other party saw the bags and food boxes they were carrying and said, "Why, you didn't finish eating, and you packed it up and took it away."
Xiang Jin's mother smiled and said, "Yes, the children's fighting ability is not strong, aren't they all left?"
The other party immediately turned to Jin Qi and joked, "Girl Xiao Jin, you are worthless. Your father's iron cock is usually not willing to pull out even a hair. It's rare for you to come back and treat you to a nice meal today."
But you left so much for them, are you careful that he won’t take you to eat delicious food again?”
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Oh, we actually eat quite a lot, and my dad is not a tough guy, so he is quite willing to treat us."
The other party nodded, "Yes, your dad is usually picky with himself, but he is quite tolerant of others. You don't know that your dad usually eats instant noodles in the office. You should talk to him properly when you go back."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes!"
Xiang Jin's father said, "Old Qian, why are you saying this in front of your children?"
The old acquaintance who was called Lao Qian said to Xiang Jin's father, "You said that your son and daughter are so capable at a young age. Xiao Bo opened a fruit and vegetable store by himself, and Xiao Jin contracted such a big business with others.
A piece of fruit and vegetable growing land
, both are making money, and the two children have their own plans, and you don’t need to worry about and support you. Why don’t you two use your own wages to spend on your own? If you still eat that instant noodles every now and then, I can’t stand you.
!”
Xiang Jin's father said, "I'm not digging, it's just for the convenience of eating instant noodles without wasting time. You see, you can eat the noodles by making them in the office. There's no need to go to the cafeteria. The cafeteria is so...
It’s so far away, and you still have to wait when you get there, but when you get down now, it will be gone for at least half an hour.”
The old Qian said, "You are a person who regards time every day as more important than money, so how can you miss such a little time to eat?"
Xiang Jin's father said, "Oh, time waits for no one. I don't have long to serve here. I don't know whether I will continue to stay here or be transferred to another place in the future. What if I am transferred to another place?"
I always want to see the people's lives improve before I leave."
Then Lao Qian said, "Hasn't everything improved now? People's lives are getting better and better."
Xiang Jin’s father said, “It’s not enough!”
Then after everyone exchanged a few words, Xiang Jin's father said to the old money, "Okay, let's go back first, and you can take your time later."
The family nodded to them, and the old man said, "Okay, you go first, we have to pay the bill and leave."
After coming out of the mutton soup pot, Han Che asked Xiang Jin, "Hey, is that person from your compound just now?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, senior municipal official, my son is studying clinical medicine and stomatology at Sichuan University. It's an eight-year bachelor's degree with a Ph.D. degree. He has been studying for seven years now, and he can get the Ph.D. in one year.
, his daughter is now teaching, teaching Chinese in a key middle school in our city. The family of three just now are his daughter, son-in-law and grandson. His son-in-law also teaches, in the same school, teaching physics."
"Oh, then his son is quite powerful," Han Che nodded, and then asked in surprise, "There are two people in their family, which daughter is the eldest?"
Xiang Jin said, "No, they are twins. It's just that my sister didn't do many postgraduate studies. She only studied for four years. Her brother studied medicine and repeated it for a year before getting admitted to Sichuan University."
Han Che asked again, "Then his daughter got married very early, and the child looks to be three or four years old, right?"
Xiang Jin said, "Well, we got married after graduating from college and getting a job. She must have been around 23 or 24 years old at that time. She and her husband were classmates in college, and they were eventually assigned to our place together.
I teach in the middle school over there.”
"Oh, like this?!"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Ah!"
After returning home, Xiang Jin's father took the lead in greeting the boys, while Lei Jia was with their mother and father.
But because the beds in several rooms had not been made yet, Xiang Jin's mother led the two of them to make the beds.
After the bed was made, Xiang Jin pushed her back into the room and asked her to try on the set of clothes he bought for her.
"Why are you buying me clothes again?" Her mother patted her hand gently, her eyes full of doting.
Xiang Jin said, "Oh, you try it on and see if it fits. I put it on for you to try on. Yan Chen said it looks good, but I don't know if it looks good at this size."
"Xiao Chen went shopping with you?" Her mother looked at her with a smile and asked.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, he will also buy it for Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo."
Her mother just looked at her but smiled without saying a word. After a while, she said, "Okay, let's give it a try."
Xiang Jin nodded.
After her mother tried it on, she asked her and Lei Jia, "How is it?"
Both of them nodded and said you look good, and Lei Jia said, "Aunt Xia, you are tall and have a good temperament. You look good no matter what you wear!"
Xiang Jin's mother gave her round cheeks a kiss and said, "You have such a sweet mouth!"
Lei Jia said, "No, it's true. Xiang Jin has always had good taste. This dress really suits you."
Xiang Jin asked her mother, "Do you think the size is suitable? As for the shoulders and chest? You can button up the clothes and take a look."
Her mother buttoned up her clothes and nodded, "It's appropriate, it's all appropriate, it's just right."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay," and then she took out a few bottles of cosmetics from the paper bag on the bedside table and handed them to her mother, "Hey, here are some cosmetics I brought you, this one is for your face.
, this is eye cream, applied around the eyes,
It can reduce the fine lines at the corners of your eyes. Mom, at your age and your aunt's, you should pay attention to this kind of care now. This is a body lotion. Isn't it easy for the body to get dry when you have your head in winter? So apply some of this after taking a shower.
Moisturizing the skin.”
Her mother couldn't help but smile, "You kid, you know how to do this every day."
Xiang Jin asked, "What do you mean you do this every day? It feels like I'm not doing my job properly. First of all, let me state that I haven't fallen behind in my studies. Besides, you guys in your forties shouldn't pay attention to maintenance?"
When I get married in the future, if you still look like this, when you go out, people will exclaim, "Oh, you look so young."
You are as beautiful as a flower, your eyes will probably squint with laughter!
My brother and I are also very respectable, and people will envy our mother for being so young, and my father is also very respectable, with such a young and temperamental wife."
Her mother chuckled, and now her eyes narrowed into slits, "You kid, you're still making fun of your mother."
Xiang Jin said, "Oh, I spent a whole morning choosing this for you. Don't let me down. You must dress yourself up beautifully."
Her mother said, "Okay, okay, then mom, just listen to my precious daughter, take care of her, and try not to let you lose face."
Lei Jia watched the interaction between mother and daughter. While she was happy for Xiang Jin, she also felt a little envious and yearning. She thought that she would also give her mother and grandma such gifts during the Chinese New Year next year.
, let them be happy like this.
After Xiang Jin's mother looked at the bottles of skin care products, she said, "Oh, why are there two bottles of face wipes and eye cream?"
Xiang Jin said, "Because this bottle is small, I bought two bottles for each of you."
"Oh, that's it," her mother nodded, "then did you bring it to your aunt? Your aunt has had a really hard time this year, because she often works in the fields and runs outside, so her skin is rough.
Not much."
Xiang Jin said, "You have brought it. You have brought it. Grandma Mo and Grandma, as well as my two aunts and Aunt Liao have brought it. I will bring it to them tomorrow. Now,
This, this is an electric shaver that Yan Chen brought for his father. Usually he only needs to put on the battery."
Her mother suddenly caught the key words in her words, "Why did Xiaochen give your dad a razor?"
Lei Jia laughed on the side.
Xiang Jin said, "He bought it for his grandpa, and then I saw it, and then I wanted to buy one for my dad and grandpa's family. When I made the final payment, he paid for it together."
"Oh, like this?" Her mother nodded.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Isn't that so?"
Her mother said, "Okay, I'll give it to your dad tonight."
Xiang Jin then told her, "I also bought a set of clothes for Dad and put them in your cabinet. Can you let him try them on when the time comes?"
"good!"
When it reached ten o'clock, Xiang Jin's father ended the chat with the boys and asked everyone to wash up and go to bed. Then Xiang Jin took the opportunity to arrange, "Leijia, you can sleep with the new girl later."
There's a separate room, Yan Chen, if you're mysophobic, you can sleep in my room, and I'll sleep in my grandparents' room. Brother, you sleep on the sofa, and give up your room to Han Che."
Her brother said, "No problem!"
The others nodded in agreement, and Han Che said to Ouyang Bo, "Why don't you sleep in the room with me?"
Ouyang Bo said, "No, I'll sleep on the sofa. The sofa in our house can be laid down flat, so it's just like a bed."
Han Che nodded immediately, "Oh, that's okay! But will it be cold if you sleep outside in the middle of the night?"
Ouyang Bo said, "No, our home has heating."
"Oh, okay!"
After making such pleasant arrangements, everyone lined up to wash up, while Xiang Jin helped her brother make the bed.
Finally, after everyone had washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep, Xiang Jin received a text message from Yan Chen while lying on the bed.
"I'm so happy!"
He sent a greeting to Xiang Jin and went over.
Yan Chen replied, "Because I checked into my wife's room in a grand manner?"
Xiang Jin just said, "Aren't you very shy?"
"What's so cool about this? I'm just happy to finally see what your room looks like."
Xiang Jin said, "There is nothing in my room."
"Well, indeed, it's quite simple. It's similar to the room in your old school, but it's very tidy. I like it!"
"It's good that Mr. Yan can get used to it!"
"Look what you said, what's wrong with this? I'm comfortable living in my own wife's room."
"What a sweet mouth!"
"This is not a sweet talk, but a fact! Ajin, thank you?"
"Why are you thanking me?" Xiang Jin was confused.
Yan Chen said, "Thank you for giving me your room!"
The corners of Xiang Jin's mouth turned up when he saw that sentence. He was stunned for a while and then replied, "You're welcome!"
"Ajin?!"
"Huh?! What's wrong?!"
"I love you!"
Xiang Jin was stunned for a while, and then replied, "I love you too!"
"Then when are you going to tell your family that we are dating?" he asked immediately.
Xiang Jin felt that she had been tricked by his sensational words of love, and lo and behold, he immediately came to force her to have a baby!
"Is it too early to tell you that you're not angry?" Xiang Jin asked.
Yan Chen said, "How early? It's not early! Tell them earlier so that they can treat me as one of their own family members. I don't want to be a guest. I'm always polite!"
"How can you be too polite? Don't you think my family's attitude towards you is different from that towards Han Che and Lei Jia? They treat those two purely as my friends and classmates, they treat them as guests.
I treat you with a polite attitude, but I don’t treat you with so much politeness and politeness.”
Yan Chen said, "So, it can be seen that your parents and family like me, so when will you let me appear in front of them as their prospective son-in-law, prospective brother-in-law, and prospective grandson-in-law?"
Xiang Jin said, "Mr. Yan, you are forcing me to have a baby."
Yan Chen said, "After we come back, we have to live in separate houses like this. I can't hold you, hug you, let alone kiss you. And after the New Year, your brother will go to a bj with us. By then,
I still can't hug you, hug you, kiss you, how cruel would this be for me?
If you confess our relationship in front of them, at least then I can hold your hand openly, and I won't have to worry about what they will think about."
Xiang Jin asked, "How long have we started?"
"Our normal relationship only lasts for half a year, but haven't we known each other and been together for several years?
Do you think they won’t know if we don’t tell them? They are not stupid, they have eyes, and they might be waiting for us to confess.”
Xiang Jin said, "Let me think about it."
"Okay!" Yan Chen hurriedly agreed, and then didn't push her. In his opinion, since she agreed and thought about it, she would definitely take it to heart, so he said, "Then you go to bed early, we will have another meeting tomorrow.
Get up early."
"good!"
As for Xiang Jin's parents, after the two returned to the room, Xiang Jin's mother immediately took out a set of clothes from the closet and stuffed them into her father's arms, "Your daughter bought this for you, try it on quickly."
Put it on and take a look.”
"Did she buy me clothes again?" Xiang Jin's father held up the clothes and looked at them, "Oh, don't tell me, this child's clothes are quite good, and the styles of the clothes he buys are always very good.
Beautiful."
Xiang Jin's mother said, "That's right, why don't you look at who gave birth to it?"
"Yes, yes, you have good taste and you have passed it on to our daughter. OK, OK, OK, let me try it and see." After saying that, Xiang Jin's father took off his coat and bought Xiang Jin a new one for him.
I tried on the suit.
Then he circled around Xiang Jin's mother, "How are you doing?"
Xiang Jin's mother said, "The size of the clothes is appropriate. It seems that the legs of these trousers are a bit long. Take them off and I will take them to a tailor shop on the street when I go to work tomorrow to have them modified and re-locked.
"
Xiang Jin's father nodded and took off his clothes and pants, hung them back up in the closet, changed into pajamas, took off the quilt and sat on the bed, and then sighed with a look on his face, "Oh, don't tell me, we
My daughter is really a caring and filial little cotton-padded jacket."
Xiang Jin's mother nodded and said, "Yes, she bought clothes for everyone in the family, cosmetics for me and her aunt, and her grandma also bought face paint," she said
Open the drawer of the bedside table and take it out to show him.
After Xiang Jin's father took it and looked at it, he said, "Oh, it's not bad. It moisturizes, whitens, and lightens fine lines."
Xiang Jin's mother smiled and said, "That girl said that people of our age should start taking good care of themselves."
Xiang Jin's father said, "Then use it!"
Xiang Jin's father whispered to him with a happy face, "I'll use it tonight."
Xiang Jin's father asked, "How does it feel?"
Xiang Jin's mother said, "It's quite moisturizing, and the smell is not as strong as the one I used before. This one has a bit of refreshing feeling, so I decided that I would use the one I used to wipe my hands with in the future."
Use this one my daughter bought for me."
Xiang Jin's father joked, "Are you too fat for too much meat?"
Xiang Jin's mother corrected her, "No, I'm picking the best! Oh, don't be upset. Your future son-in-law bought it for you." Then she took the electric shaver out of the drawer.
He took it out and stuffed it into Xiang Jin's father's hand, "From now on, you don't have to use that blade to scrape, so as not to accidentally scratch your face."
"Xiao Chen bought it?" Xiang Jin's father was surprised.
Xiang Jin's mother said, "Ah, I not only bought one for you, but also bought one for our dad."
Xiang Jin's father said with emotion, "Oh, I started receiving gifts from my son-in-law so early?"
Xiang Jin's mother said, "Yes, just be proud of it."
Xiang Jin's father pulled her mother and said, "Oh, don't tell me. Although Xiaochen doesn't seem to talk much on the surface, when it comes to talking, the child has unique ideas and ideas. And I found that
That kid has very keen insight and judgment, and I could tell it when I chatted with a few of them at night."
Xiang Jin's mother said, "Your daughter is a very competitive person. She is not only rational but also very picky. Just like you, she is born with arrogance. You said that if she wasn't excellent in all aspects, she would
Do you like it?"
Xiang Jin's father nodded, "That's right! It's one thing to look at family background when looking for a partner, but the most important thing is to look at ability, character, and whether they have a common language.
These two children have grown up together since they were young, so they know each other relatively well in terms of character and character. I have also observed in secret that the boy is still very considerate and humble towards our Xiaojin."
Xiang Jin's mother said, "I also think that child is quite good. Although he looks a little cold on the outside, and it also gives people a feeling of being repelled from thousands of miles away, but I like it."
With his temperament, the more difficult he is to get in touch with, the less likely he is to fall in love with someone, so he will treat my daughter wholeheartedly, okay?
You see, Han Che's temperament is a little out of the ordinary. It doesn't matter whether he is acquainted with someone or not. It only takes a few minutes to chat with someone and he will become familiar with him in a short time.
This child's approachable nature is very lovable, and it feels like he can get along with no matter who he is, and he can quickly become good friends.
That child's personality makes it easy for girls to like him, but in my eyes as a mother of a daughter, he is definitely not the first choice for a son-in-law because he is too philanthropic."
Xiang Jin and Han Che looked like they didn't listen to what they said all night long. Xiang Jin's father smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, that child has a lively personality."
Xiang Jin's mother concluded, "With his temperament, he would be very good as a friend, as a subordinate employee, as a business partner or as a partner, but as a son-in-law, it needs to be verified."
Xiang Jin's father said, "Looking at what you said, it seems like our daughter likes him."
Xiang Jin's mother said, "Oh, I'm just telling you in private." Xiang Jin's mother then changed the topic, "Oh, you said these two children are really not in love.
Tell us, and they are still hiding it, can we still object after they have said it? You are saying that the little eyes that look at each other every day are swiss and swish, and it feels like we can't see it? "
Xiang Jin's father said, "Oh, who cares about them? If we don't tell them, we will pretend not to know. They have their own reasons for not telling us. Maybe they think the time is not yet ripe. After all, both of them are still talented.
They are in their first year of college, and both of them want to go to graduate school, so it won’t help if they say so early!”
Xiang Jin's mother nodded, "Oh, forget it, I'm too lazy to care about them."
Xiang Jin's father teased, "You can't control it even if you want to. First, times are different now, and free love is now advocated! As long as the general environment is correct, you have no right to interfere with your children's freedom of marriage and love.
of.
Secondly, that child has not grown up with us and has long developed an independent character. She is not allowed to let you interfere in her affairs. Maybe if you interfere, it will be counterproductive. Then it will be the same as ours.
It doesn’t necessarily matter if the relationship becomes rigid.”
Xiang Jin's mother said, "That's right. The child has a right idea now. He has long developed a murderous and decisive character."
"Hey, how are you going to cook breakfast tomorrow morning?" Suddenly, Xiang Jin's father changed the subject.
Xiang Jin's mother said, "Make some porridge tomorrow morning, use the fresh meat to stir-fry something for rice, and cook a boiled egg by yourself. Then you can go out and buy some buns and steamed buns."
Xiang Jin's father nodded, "I think it will work!"
Xiang Jin's mother then said again, "Will you come back for dinner tomorrow night? You see, those mutton soup and mutton dishes that were packed back tonight are going to be eaten. The two children will go to the melon and fruit fields tomorrow and may have to stay for a few days.
I will come back. I heard that Han Che will make hundreds of kilograms of cured fish. We will definitely have to make some ourselves by then, so we won’t be able to come back for a few days. Otherwise, how can I eat alone by then?
over?"
Xiang Jin's father said, "How about you put the hotpot in a thermos bucket for me tomorrow and I'll take it to the office for lunch tomorrow."
Xiang Jin’s mother asked, “Are you not allowed to go out at noon tomorrow?”
Xiang Jin's father said, "You are not allowed to go out at noon tomorrow. I have a meeting tomorrow afternoon, and then I have to go to a food factory to inspect the work, so I don't know when I will be back in the evening."
Xiang Jin's mother said, "Okay, I'll heat some for you tomorrow morning and you can take it to the office to eat. You'd better eat less instant noodles. Otherwise, you can still bring rice for lunch in the future."
Yes, I'll cook it for you in the morning and put it in a thermos bucket to keep it warm, so it'll still be hot for you to eat at lunch."
Xiang Jin's father asked, "How much trouble do you have?"
Xiang Jin's mother glared at him, "The couple still talk about trouble, what's the trouble?"
Xiang Jin's father looked at her mother and smiled, "Okay, okay, no trouble, no trouble, just do it!" After saying that, he turned off the bedside lamp on his side and lay down holding the quilt.
, "Okay, let's go to bed. It's getting late and we have to get up early tomorrow."
"Well," Xiang Jin's mother followed suit and extinguished the bedside lamp on her side, then lifted off the quilt and went to bed.
So when Xiang Jin got up the next morning, she only saw her mother wearing an apron and working in the kitchen, so she walked over and asked, "Mom, why are you the only one in the house? Where are the others?"
My dad didn’t see his figure so early in the morning?”
Her mother glanced sideways at her, "Are you up? Go wash up quickly."
Xiang Jin said, "Lei Jia is washing up."
Her mother then answered her question, "Your brother took Xiao Chen and Han Che down for a walk, and your dad went out to buy steamed buns. We don't have any ready-made buns at home, and it's too late to make them ready-made, so
I asked him to go outside and buy some."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh, you told me earlier, you told me earlier that I would buy it?"
Xiang Jin's mother looked at her again and smiled, "Do you know where to buy it?"
Xiang Jin said, "There are only a few streets left and right."
Her mother said, "Your dad, go quickly!"
"Hey, Mom, did you try on my dad's clothes last night? Does it fit?"
Her mother said, "The clothes are suitable, but the pants are a little too long, but that's okay. I'll just take him to the tailor shop not far from our bank and trim them for him later."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yan Chen helped me try it."
"That's right, Xiaochen is taller than your father."
Xiang Jin tilted his head and glanced into the small soup pot, "Are we going to have some mutton soup later?"
Her mother said, "It's not for you to drink, it's for your dad to heat up. We packed so much mutton soup and mutton last night. As soon as you leave today, your dad and I will be the only two people left at home. Your dad will have dinner tonight
I still don’t know if I can come back for dinner, you
If he doesn’t come back for dinner then, how can I finish all the packed food? So I heated him some mutton soup and mutton or something and asked him to take it back to the office for lunch. This is better than him.
It’s better to eat instant noodles there.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's true, then you put some white radish slices or shreds in his soup. The combination of meat and vegetables will be more nutritious."
Her mother said, "Well, there are plenty of them. There are radish slices, mutton cheeks, mutton necks, and mutton shoulders. I put some of them in for him. I will bring him some ingredients when the time comes.
Serve with sauce for dipping."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yeah, sure!"
"Xiang Jin, I'm fine, you can go wash up," Lei Jia said to Xiang Jin outside the kitchen door.
"Oh, okay!" Xiang Jin responded, then turned around and walked out of the kitchen door.
When Lei Jia came in, she rolled up her sleeves and asked Xiang Jin's mother, "Auntie, is there anything I can do to help?"
Xiang Jin's mother looked at her with a smile and said, "Oh, no, there's nothing to do. Did you sleep well last night? Are you still used to it?"
Lei Jia nodded and said, "Well, I slept well. Auntie, your quilts are made of new cotton wool. They are very warm and comfortable."
Xiang Jin's mother chuckled, "That's good, that's good! Auntie is afraid that you will recognize the bed and not sleep well! Some people have the habit of recognizing the bed. If the environment is changed, it is easy for someone to have trouble sleeping."
Lei Jia said, "No, I don't have that habit!"
"Do you also have the same school start date as Xiaojin and others?"
"Well, like them, we also start school on February 20th, but we have two days of vacation earlier than them. We got off on January 15th, while Xiang Jin and the others got off on the 17th."
"Are you familiar with the environment in Suzhou now?" Xiang Jin's mother turned down the fire on the stove, then took the thermos bucket on the side and washed it first, then scalded it twice with boiling water.
"Well, you are familiar with it. I actually adapt to the surrounding environment relatively quickly. Our school is not as strict as Xiang Jin's school. Our school is relatively loose.
So we can usually go out, and when we have less classes, several girls in the dormitory invite us to go shopping together, so we are relatively familiar with everything around our school."
Xiang Jin's mother turned off the stove, then put the mutton soup cooked in the small pot into the thermos bucket, "The scenery is nice over there? In the Jiangnan area, there are pavilions and pavilions, and Xiao Qiao's flowing water is just like
The splash-ink landscape painting is full of poetry and romance."
"Well, the scenery over there is indeed beautiful and unique. When Auntie has the opportunity to go there for a walk, I will be your guide then?"
"Okay, I will definitely go if I have the chance!"
Xiang Jin came back from the shower and asked, "What are you talking about again? You are chatting so enthusiastically?"
Lei Jia took her arm and said, "Oh, nothing, just talking about our affairs in Suzhou."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Xiang Jin's father say, "We are back!"
Xiang Jin and Lei Jia hurriedly came out of the kitchen, and then they saw a group of four male compatriots coming in one after another from outside the house. Looking at the tall man who was all tall and straight, Xiang Jin thought to himself if this was really a father and son.
If four people go out and walk together, it will definitely be spectacular.
Her thoughts were brought back to reality, and then she saw her mother coming out of the kitchen to greet her, "Oh, we came back together."
Ouyang Bo said, "We should go out and buy steamed buns together."
Her mother immediately saw the two big bags in his hand and asked, "Isn't this from the place where I always buy steamed buns?"
Xiang Jin's father said, "This is a mutton bun bought from a mutton soup shop."
"Oh, where did you buy it? Oh, they were selling steamed buns there in the morning?" Xiang Jin's mother nodded, and then asked again.
Xiang Jin's father nodded, "Well, the business there in the morning is very good, and the right people are lining up to buy."
Xiang Jin's mother was curious, "Why are you still wandering there?"
Xiang Jin's father said, "I originally planned to go to the original bun shop to buy it, but on the way, I met a brother and sister eating mutton buns. Then I asked them where they bought it, and then the sister
My two brothers told me where to buy it, and then we changed our route to go there."
Xiang Jin's mother was immediately dumbfounded, "Then we will have another place to buy breakfast in the morning."
Xiang Jin's father nodded, "Yes, is the food ready? Eat it when it's ready."
Xiang Jin's mother said, "Okay, okay, I'm just waiting for you to come back. You go wash your hands quickly, and I'll go and serve the rice."
"good!"
Ouyang Bo handed her the steamed buns in his hand, and then they went to the bathroom to wash their hands.
