Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan finally couldn't hold it back and went to Li Qinghan's boudoir...
Li Qinghan came forward and looked at the rolling pin in Ma Xiaoquan's hand. He found that his posture for holding the rolling pin was completely correct. He couldn't help but thought to himself: Since marrying into the Ma family, I have never seen Ma Xiaoquan roll out dumpling skins. Well, there was also last time.
Regarding cooking in the kitchen, Ma Xiaoquan...how many secrets do you have hiding from me?
Seeing that the sister-in-law was silent, Ma Xiaoquan thought that the sister-in-law was going to scold her again, so he quickly said: "Sister-in-law, why don't you come and help? There are many people today, so it's fun for everyone to make dumplings together!"
Li Qinghan nodded lightly and sat down next to Ma Xiaoquan.
Zi Biao came over and saw Ma Xiaoquan surrounded by a bunch of women. He laughed and said: "Ma Si Shao, cooking and other things are a woman's business. You, a big man, join the crowd of women...
...Tsk tsk..."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and retorted: "Zi Lao Er, stop talking so damn sarcastically. Not all good cooks are men. What's wrong with men? Men can't cook? Who the hell told you this logic?"
"Ma Xiaoquan, you" Zi Biao looked at Ma Xiaoquan with wide eyes.
Zilong stepped forward, grabbed Zibiao and said: "Second brother, second brother..."
Zi Biao had no intention of confronting Ma Xiaoquan head-on, but just now Ma Xiaoquan was jerking off to his left and right, which made Zi Biao sound very unhappy.
"Humph" Zi Biao flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Zilong smiled awkwardly, stepped forward and raised his hand to Ma Xiaoquan: "Master Ma, can you teach me how to roll this dumpling wrapper?"
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile, "Zilong, what? You want to learn?"
Zilong nodded.
In fact, Zilong learned how to roll dumpling wrappers just to get close to Li Qinghan. As for whether he could actually learn it, Zilong didn't care at all.
The corner of Ma Xiaoquan's mouth slightly raised, and he thought to himself: Boy, I know you want to get close to your sister-in-law, but hey, I won't give you a chance.
"Zilong, sit over there, there's no room for you here." Ma Xiaoquan pointed to Xiaohuan.
Xiaohuan welcomed Zilong to sit next to her. Who wouldn't like such a handsome man?
Zilongpi smiled but sat down next to Xiaohuan with a look of reluctance.
"Brother Zilong..." Xiaohuan blinked and said, "Brother Zilong, you don't know how to roll out dumpling skins, I'll teach you."
"Ah? Oh" Zilong secretly glanced at Li Qinghan who was not far away from him, and lowered his head in frustration.
...
Second sister-in-law Qiao Yu could see Zilong's expression clearly.
As a person who has experienced this, Qiao Yu quickly understood Zilong's thoughts.
"Sister Qinghan, that Zilong..." Qiao Yu leaned into Li Qinghan's ear and whispered a few words.
"Huh?" Li Qinghan was stunned for a moment and looked at Zilong, who happened to be looking at her at the same time. The two of them looked at each other, and their faces suddenly turned red.
Seeing Li Qinghan's face turn red, Ma Xiaoquan felt sour in his heart and interrupted: "Sister-in-law, I can't roll this dumpling wrapper well. Come and take a look!"
Looking at Ma Xiaoquan, Qiao Yu secretly smiled in his heart. Well, it seems that Quanzi is also interested in Sister Qinghan. Hehe, but that boy Zilong seems to have fallen in love with Sister Qinghan at first sight. Well, I wonder what choice Sister Qinghan will make.
What? Let’s wait and see.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yu leaned into Li Qinghan's ear again and said a few words.
"Yeah" Li Qinghan was making dumplings. As soon as Qiao Yu's words came out, Li Qinghan's hands shook and the unwrapped dumplings fell to the ground.
"Qiao Yu, you..." Li Qinghan's face had just calmed down, but Qiao Yu's words just now made her pretty face turn red again.
Qiao Yu waved his hand with an indifferent expression: "Sister Qinghan, my judgment is absolutely correct, but I just don't know what you think?"
"Qiao Yu, what are you talking about?" Li Qinghan raised his hand and pretended to hit Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu chuckled, stood up, and waved to Zilong: "Zilong, come and sit here."
Seeing this, Ma Xiaoquan quickly said: "Second sister-in-law, why are you going?"
Qiao Yu smiled meaningfully and did not answer Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled helplessly. It seemed that the second sister-in-law did this intentionally.
...
Zilong sat down on his ass, and he and Ma Xiaoquan sandwiched Li Qinghan in the middle. Zilong, who was depressed just now, was as if he had been injected with chicken blood, in front of Li Qinghan
Perform to the best of your ability.
How difficult is it to roll out dumpling skins? Zilong is now learning and selling dumpling wrappers, and he is even better at rolling them than Ma Xiaoquan.
Not only that, Zilong also learned how to make dumplings from Li Qinghan, and even made several difficult dumplings.
Zilong's understanding and practical ability immediately won the praise of all the women present. Li Qinghan nodded gently and said: "Zilong, I didn't expect you to be so good. You can learn it with just one lesson. Well, whoever you want to marry in the future
You must be lucky."
Zilong laughed and declined: "Where is it?" But he said in his heart: Sister-in-law, actually... I want you to be my wife...
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips in depression and stared at the two of them without saying a word. From now on, Ma Xiaoquan also tried to make a few dumplings. They were ugly and not strong.
Li Qinghan turned his head, looked at the few "dumplings" in front of Ma Xiaoquan, and chuckled: "Ma Xiaoquan, you made these?"
"What? No?" Ma Xiaoquan said angrily.
Li Qinghan was not angry at all. He picked up one with a smile, frowned slightly and said: "It doesn't seem to be very strong. If it is put into the pot, it will fall apart!"
"Spread out? Spread out and I'll eat too!" Ma Xiaoquan said harshly.
Li Qinghan smiled and said nothing, but he was very happy in his heart: Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Xiaoquan, you are such a stupid man, what do you think you will do if you don't have me in the future? The stir-fried vegetables are quite good, and these dumplings are just right.
.....
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. Ma Xiaoquan naturally doesn't know what Li Qinghan is thinking.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't know, and the silly boy Zilong didn't know even more. Seeing the smile on Li Qinghan's face, Zilong felt happy, thinking that his skill in making dumplings had won Li Qinghan's favor, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
.
...
With more people and greater strength, the dumplings were ready in no time.
The family gathered around the window, waiting for the joy of the dumplings coming out of the pot.
The elders of the Ma family and the Zi family sat at one table, and the juniors sat at another table.
According to tradition, the younger generation has to toast to their elders. Ma Xiaoquan and his two brothers went to the two elders and offered toasts one by one. After the toasts were completed, Ma Xiaoquan proposed to hold a small get-together.
It has to be said that since Ma Xiaoquan appeared, the atmosphere in the Ma family has become more lively.
Ma Xiaoquan's proposal was very good and was immediately recognized by the elders of both families.
Ma Xiaoquan proposed two "hosts" to host the party. The Zi family unanimously recommended Zi Long, while the Ma family pushed Li Qinghan out.
Ma Xiaoquan was extremely depressed. Damn it, I would have known better not to say anything about the host. Now, Zilong and Li Qinghan have become the host. What will I do?
Looking up, Zilong, who is tall, strong, handsome, and Li Qinghan, who has a curvy figure and beautiful appearance, are standing together, giving people the illusion that these two people are a couple.
When the elders of the two families saw this, they all nodded.
Ma Mu and Zi Shaoyan came together and whispered: "Shaoyan, what do you think of my Qinghan family?"
Zi Shaoyan naturally understood what Ma Mu meant by asking him, and said with a smile: "It would be best if she became the granddaughter-in-law of my Zi family."
Ma Mu chuckled: "Shaoyan, you are so smart..."
...
Ma Xiaoquan's face was livid. Hearing what Ma Mu and Zi Shaoyan said, he felt very uncomfortable. Could it be that I, Ma Xiaoquan, must be that bad at Zi Long?
Among the elders of the Ma family, there were two people who did not have any ideas because of the conversation between Ma Mu and Zi Shaoyan: Mrs. Ma and the housekeeper Ma Tong.
As two insiders who knew Ma Xiaoquan's true identity, Mrs. Ma and Ma Tong chose to remain silent.
The two of them promised Ma Xiaoquan not to reveal his identity. Otherwise, I believe Ma Mu would not say the same thing to Zi Shaoyan.
Furthermore, the people that Mrs. Ma has always been optimistic about are Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan. As the saying goes, good things don't go to outsiders. Mrs. Ma knows Ma Xiaoquan's abilities very well, and he is the first generation head of the family. With such strong people by his side, why bother anymore?
How about pushing Li Qinghan to his family?
Seeing that Madam Ma was silent and her expression was a little solemn, Father Ma asked with a smile: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so depressed? What do you think of Xiaoying's nickname for Ma Ma just now? Mother, what do you think?"
?”
Mrs. Ma smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "Let's not take matters into our own hands. Qinghan is not a child anymore..."
Mrs. Ma's words were very subtle, but her meaning was very clear. The parents and uncles of the two families looked at each other awkwardly and stopped talking.
...
Li Qinghan and Zilong have a tacit understanding as "hosts". Although they have no so-called "hosting experience", under the explanation of "main person in charge" Ma Xiaoquan, the two quickly fell into their roles.
The party started normally. Although Ma Xiaoquan did not become the "host", he was named the "main person in charge" by everyone.
This so-called "main person in charge" is actually similar to today's behind-the-scenes workers. While Zilong and Li Qinghan were making witty remarks in the front and laughing with everyone, Ma Xiaoquan could only tell people to do their work in the back.
Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was already 10 to 12 o'clock in the morning. According to the traditional practice of the Chinese people, the cannons should be ready at this time.
