"Uncle and aunt, you guys have a try at my craftsmanship."
At the dining table, Liu Guiqin and Xu Jianguo looked at the table of food with wide eyes and were dumbfounded. It wasn't until Qin Hao sent out an invitation that they picked up the kuaizi and tried a dish they liked.
"Hmm, um, not bad. This stir-fried kidney flower has a mellow taste and is smooth and not greasy. Xiao Qin, how did you make this sauce? It tastes so good." Xu Jianguo's eyes lit up and he asked curiously.
Liu Guiqin put a piece of tofu into her mouth, chewed it carefully, and suddenly looked at Qin Hao in surprise.
"Xiao Qin, you are really attentive."
Qin Haodan smiled: "Auntie, you are too polite."
Seeing the two of them playing riddles, Xu Hongdou asked curiously: "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Seeing her daughter's confused look, Liu Guiqin couldn't help but shake her head, stretched out her kuaizi and opened the "Tianling lid" of a piece of tofu. The inside of the tofu had already been hollowed out and filled with meat fillings.
Xu Hongdou still looked puzzled: "What's wrong with this dish? Isn't it delicious?"
Liu Guiqin and Xu Jianguo looked at each other and shook their heads. In the end, Liu Guizhen patiently explained.
"This Zibo tofu brick dish can be considered a classic Shandong cuisine. It was a must-have dish for every family banquet when your father and I were young. However, because it is troublesome to make, even many master Shandong cuisine chefs don't make this dish.
How could Qin, a foreigner from other places, be able to cook this dish by such a coincidence, so I said Xiao Qin was serious about it."
Now even Xu Jianguo nodded in agreement. Sincerity is always the best weapon. From this dish, the old couple saw how much Qin Hao put into getting their favor.
Xu Hongdou also woke up at this moment. Qin Hao had cooked Hunan cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and some local Yunnan cuisine before, but he had never cooked Shandong cuisine. In other words, he had secretly learned all the Shandong cuisine on the table today.
"When did you learn this? Why didn't I know?" Xu Hongdou asked quietly as her nose felt a little sore.
Qin Hao smiled: "Actually, it didn't take much time. I learn things very quickly."
When Liu Guiqin and his wife saw the two whispering in front of their parents, they just looked at each other and smiled.
In just one meal, the couple had already recognized the identity of Qin Hao's son-in-law.
After dinner, Liu Guiqin and Xu Jianguo took the initiative to wash the dishes, leaving Xu Hongdou and Qin Hao in the living room.
Xu Hongdou was obviously a little nervous. Although his eyes were fixed on the TV screen, he glanced at Qin Hao from time to time.
Qin Hao took the opportunity to sit next to Xu Hongdou.
"Why are you sitting so close? There's not enough space over there for you to sit." Xu Hongdou pushed Qin Hao gently, while looking cautiously towards the kitchen.
Qin Hao said shamelessly: "You just peeked at me, didn't you have something to tell me?"
Xu Hongdou spat: "Who peeked at you? How would I know I was looking at you if you didn't look at me?"
"Yes, I kept looking at you, so I caught you peeking at me."
"You, you are wrong, I didn't."
Seeing Xu Hongdou start to cheat, Qin Hao was happy and put one hand around Xu Hongdou's slender waist from behind.
Xu Hongdou's face suddenly felt like it was on fire: "Hurry up, let go, you're going to be seen."
"What are you afraid of? Uncle and auntie wash dishes together, isn't it just to create space for us to be alone together?" Qin Hao whispered into Xu Hongdou's ear.
"Scoundrel." Xu Hongdou angrily tried to push Qin Hao away, but the other party did not move at all. She was so angry that she punched Qin Hao several times with her small fist.
Qin Hao was already a dead pig anyway and was not afraid of boiling water, so he just stepped forward and kissed Xu Hongdou, which frightened Xu Hongdou for fear that his parents would suddenly come out and be discovered.
Seeing Xu Hongdou's shy look, Qin Hao was amused: "You don't think you are still in junior high school, do you? Are you afraid that your parents will see you when you are in love?"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Xu Hongdou quickly got up and opened the door.
"Hey, Kexin, aunt, why are you here?"
Qin Hao stood up and looked around, and found a young pregnant woman standing at the door. Behind the young pregnant woman stood a middle-aged woman who looked similar to Liu Guiqin. She must be her sister.
"Second sister, you are finally back. I miss you so much." Although Ke Xin appeared to be very enthusiastic about Xu Hongdou, in fact, her eyes were always looking at Qin Hao.
Before Xu Hongdou could respond, Kexin leaned into her ear and whispered in her ear with a face full of gossip: "Is this my future second brother-in-law?"
"What about the future second brother-in-law? He hasn't even figured out his horoscope yet." Xu Hongdou gave Kexin a shy look.
But Ke Xin directly exposed it: "Okay, you, your heart is so beautiful right now, how could such a good-quality handsome guy be kidnapped by you? It's really God's blindness."
"Can you, a good-looking person, stop being so superficial? You drool when you see a handsome guy. Don't forget your current identity." Xu Hongdou said angrily.
"Humph, that's right, if I hadn't been pregnant, I would have had to compete with you on everything. This figure is so eye-catching to look at at home every day." Kexin touched her belly regretfully.
Then he was quickly patted by the middle-aged woman behind him: "You girl, what are you talking about in front of the child?"
"You can't even talk about it." Ke Xin pouted unconvinced.
"Definitely not. This is prenatal education. Are you not teaching a bad child?"
Kexin shut up depressedly. After giving birth to the child, although her status in the family rose to the level of a national treasure, in fact, this treatment was because of the child in her belly, which sometimes made her a little jealous.
At this time, Liu Guiqin came out of the kitchen and welcomed her sister and daughter in with a smile. She also patted Xu Hongdou.
"What are you doing blocking the door? I don't know how to invite Ke Xin in."
Kexin proudly made a face at Xu Hongdou, and Xu Hongdou responded with a fat-bellied mouth.
Xu Hongdou's aunt Liu Guizhen greeted Qin Hao with a smile: "Xiao Qin, right? No wonder I often hear my sister mention you, you are indeed a talented person."
Xu Jianguo snickered secretly when he heard this. Although the Liu Guiqin sisters have always had a good relationship, it was inevitable that they were a bit competitive. Xu Hongmi had always been so good before, and Liu Guizhen was overpowered. When Kexin got married and became pregnant, she was older than Kexin.
Xu Hongdou made no move, and Liu Guizhen felt that she had won the game again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This made Liu Guiqin feel a little uncomfortable. Ever since she had a video chat with Qin Hao that day, she had often told Liu Guizhen how Xu Hongdou’s boyfriend was.
Talk about the scene where Qin Hao came to the house for the first time and brought his daughter with him.
"Xiao Qin, what do you do now?" Liu Guizhen asked insinuatingly.
Qin Hao answered unhurriedly: "I built a B&B in Yunnan and am currently renovating it. In addition, I mainly do some stock investments."
"Well, I heard that the stock market is not doing very well recently. You must be cautious when investing and don't do it all at once."
"Well, thank you for reminding me, auntie. My recent income is pretty good. The money I earned in the past two months is enough to buy a B&B."
Liu Guiqin felt so happy when she saw Qin Hao rendering her sister speechless, and her impression of Qin Hao became even stronger.
Kexin finally waited until her mother finished asking, and said to Qin Hao enthusiastically: "Second brother-in-law, how did you meet my second sister?"
Xu Hongdou was so angry that she poked the back of Kexin's head: "Stop yelling!"
Before Ke Xin could say anything, Liu Guiqin glared at Xu Hongdou: "Don't bully Ke Xin. She is pregnant with a child now, so you can't let her go."
Xu Hongdou sat aside feeling aggrieved and sulked.
Qin Hao saw that Kexin was looking at him longingly, so he had no choice but to ignore her. He could only answer perfunctorily: "We met when we were in Yunmiao Village. We lived in the same long-term rented courtyard and went back and forth.
..."
After hearing this, Kexin looked full of longing: "Wow, this is too romantic, isn't it? It's like the plot of an idol drama. If I had known, I would have traveled to Yunnan."
Xu Hongdou rolled his eyes when he heard this, and Qin Hao couldn't help but secretly laugh. He didn't expect Xu Hongmi to be so strong, and Xu Hongdou to be so sensible, but have such a love-minded sister. If her husband heard this, he would probably be jealous for half a year.
After chatting for a while, Liu Guizhen said she wanted to go back, but Kexin said she was too lazy to move and wanted to stay and sleep with Xu Hongdou.
"You kid, don't cause trouble to your aunt and others. You are almost due to give birth now. What if something happens?" Liu Guizhen naturally disagreed.
But Liu Guiqin said: "Oh, Kexin is tired. Just let her sleep with Hongdou. Don't worry, Hongdou will take care of others."
In the end, Liu Guizhen had no choice but to go back alone.
Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock, Liu Guiqin helped Qin Hao pack up a small bed and come out, with the bedding and everything laid out.
"Xiao Qin feels wronged and you have to stay here for one night."
"Auntie, seeing what you said, you still treat me as an outsider."
"How could that be? Okay, then you go wash up first and go to bed early. It's been a tiring day."
"Thank you, auntie."
After Qin Hao finished washing, Xu Hongdou and Kexin had already gone back to her room. They had no choice but to go back to the study and lie down on the small bed, but they couldn't fall asleep.
"What are you doing?"
Feeling bored, Qin Hao sent Xu Hongdou a text message.
When Xu Hongdou saw the phone turned on, she took it over and took a look. She was about to go back, but Ke Xin snatched it away.
"What are you doing? Give it back to me quickly." Xu Hongdou was anxious and reached out to grab it.
Ke Xin hid the phone behind her back. Xu Hongdou was afraid of touching her belly, so she had no choice but to give up.
"What are you doing? What does he mean? Have you two already..." Kexin's gossip fire was already burning brightly.
Xu Hongdou's face felt slightly hot: "What nonsense are you talking about? No."
"Isn't it? You've been together for more than a month, haven't you? You still don't have that?" Ke Xin's eyes widened.
"You think I'm you, love brain." Xu Hongdou took the opportunity to grab the phone and rolled her eyes angrily.
Kexin suddenly stared at Xu Hongdou with an expression as if he had discovered a new world, which made Xu Hongdou feel very scared.
"Are you still Hina?"
Xu Hongdou's face looked like a ripe tomato. He quickly turned his back and buried his face in the pillow.
But seeing Xu Hongdou's big reaction, he immediately realized that he had guessed correctly, sat up and said in disbelief.
"No, Xu Hongdou, you haven't been with a man yet... But, I remember, didn't you have a boyfriend before?"
Xu Hongdou replied dully: "It's getting late, go to bed quickly."
However, Kexin posted it: "No, if you don't tell me I can't sleep, tell me quickly."
Xu Hongdou was so beaten that she had no choice but to glare at her, sit up and said angrily: "Who told you that you want that when you have a boyfriend?"
"My ex-boyfriend Ke Ji kept asking me to live together, but I didn't agree. Then he broke up with me, so I agreed."
】
Ke Xin was not going to let her go, and pointed to the next door: "What about him? Don't tell me that you are not interested in him at all. That figure must feel good to touch, right?"
Facts have proven that once a woman gets married and has a child, she is equivalent to evolving into a dirty demon king, with no taboos.
"How can you have anything else in your mind? I've only known him for a month, how could I be like him..."
Ke Xin tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked curiously: "But don't you have any needs?"
"What needs?"
"It's just the need to be loved."
Xu Hongdou covered his head with the quilt this time: "Sleep!"
Kexin tried several times, but Xu Hongdou refused to continue communicating with her. But Kexin had no choice but to give up and lay on the bed and fell asleep.
Under the covers, Xu Hongdou sent Qin Hao a text message: "Go to bed early and stop playing with your phone."
Soon, Qin Hao's reply came: "What should I do if I can't sleep?"
"Counting sheep."
"A sheep..."
Xu Hongdou replied with an eye-rolling emoticon: "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I want to bed, I can't sleep, I want to chat with you." Qin Hao sent a pitiful emoticon.
Xu Hongdou glanced at Kexin sleeping next to her and refused directly: "No, Kexin is right next to me."
"Then you wait until she falls asleep before coming over."
Xu Hongdou hesitated for a moment, then received a text message from Qin Hao: I'm waiting for you.
Helpless, Xu Hongdou could only wait quietly for Kexin to fall asleep. After almost half an hour, Kexin's breathing became extra steady. Xu Hongdou put on his coat, carefully opened the door, took a look outside, and found his parents
The lights in the room had been turned off, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
Gently pushing open the door of the study room, he found that Qin Hao was not on the bed. He walked in curiously, but was shocked when Qin Hao hugged him from behind.
"Shh, it's me."
Hearing a familiar voice from behind, Xu Hongdou was furious, turned around and punched Qin Hao's chest several times.
Qin Hao let her vent her anger, hugged her tightly, whispered in his ear: "I miss you."
"Aren't we together all day?" Xu Hongdou's heart trembled. In fact, she felt the same way.
Qin Hao said softly: "Well, we are indeed together, but unlike in Yunmiao Village, we only belong to each other."
Xu Hongdou's long eyelashes trembled slightly, but these simple love words made her completely smitten. Xu Hongdou stood up on her tiptoes, came to Qin Hao's lips, and kissed her passionately.
