Qiao Jinling was celebrating the New Year in a joyous manner. The first day of the new year was not enough for them, so they decided to spend another day together.
"Hey, let me tell you guys, a friend of mine from Inner Mongolia gave me a little black sheep. Why don't we roast it at noon today and make a whole lamb?"
Zhou Ming brought all his family members over, and it became more lively for a while, with young and old all having playmates.
"I'm embarrassed to continue to live here if you spend so much money."
Since Song Jingxing retired, he has still raced against every second as before. After all, when working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, time is measured in seconds. Otherwise, even if it is a major work mistake, it has been like this all year round, so he has not been able to completely relax.
"Brother Song, don't be polite when you get here. From now on, you and Brother Qiao will become in-laws, and our relationship will become closer. It's just a pity."
Zhou Ming was about to speak but stopped.
"What's the pity? Lao Zhou?"
Qiao Xiangqian didn't know why.
"It's a pity that Brother Song only has one son, and you beat him to it. If he has another son, I will let my daughter go after him."
Zhou Ming had a look of envy and jealousy on his face. He saw Song Yishan's excellence in his eyes and only hated that his daughter's fate was too shallow and she could not get such a high-quality partner.
"Lao Zhou, please stop thinking about it. Yishan and my family Lingling had a close relationship before. The red threads given by Yue Lao are made of steel bars and can be pulled endlessly. You should stop thinking about it."
Qiao Xiangqian was very proud. Sure enough, he had to start early to gain the upper hand. A good relationship is hard to come by. Money is easy to make, but a good relationship is hard to find.
Qiao Jinling and Song Yishan on the side blushed with embarrassment, looked at each other with guilty consciences, and smiled knowingly. Being recognized by their parents added more blessings to their relationship.
The roasted whole lamb was quickly put up.
The charcoal fire was very strong, and the squeaky oil beads on the lamb dripped into the charcoal fire, releasing the aroma of the meat. The meat was roasted to a crispy texture, and it seemed that even the flames were tempted by the whole lamb. It seemed like it was just eating it before it was eaten.
You can already feel the oil filling your mouth and making a crunchy sound.
"I'm telling you, you must enshrine the Guanyin statue in your home. It's very spiritual. It must be close to the southeast and plant an osmanthus tree in the northwest corner. This is called wealth in the northwest and wealth in the southeast."
Zhou Ming's daughter-in-law keeps nagging, talking about the feng shui of the family and all kinds of details. Once she talks about it, there is no end to it. Her current life is too comfortable, and she has a mysterious lack of confidence in her own good life.
, it is best to find some other reasons to prove your good fortune.
Sun Huifang and Qiao Xiangxiu just smiled and did not answer. They did not believe in these strange things and did not attack them.
"Daughter, you see, neither of them believe it. You must believe it. Put grapefruit peels in every corner of your house. Pomelo, grapefruit, that means you have children, and it is good for your children."
She turned to Qiao Jinfeng, looked at it, asked three questions, and said mysteriously: "80% of it is a teapot with a handle."
"Auntie, we have boys and girls alike."
Gu Xihe on the side explained, but his words did not affect Zhou Ming's wife. Instead, she curled her lips. Men are so duplicitous and cannot take the truth.
"Xiao Gu, I didn't tell you that you, the child, have to block the evil spirit for her. Go to the temple to ask for a peace charm and bring it to the child."
"Auntie, the baby hasn't been born yet."
"I mean after the birth, if you young people don't believe it, the child will suffer."
Zhou Ming on the side couldn't stand listening anymore. He was telling others such things during the Chinese New Year. Is there something missing in this woman's mind? She had finally managed to clear up the relationship, but she could offend so many people with just one sentence.
"Shut up! Even roasted lamb can't stop your mouth. If you're celebrating the New Year, you can't say anything auspicious. You have to get into trouble here!"
Zhou Ming couldn't bear it any longer, and his wife was so frightened that she shut up and stopped talking.
"Eldest niece, your aunt talks like this. Don't take it seriously. You are a doctor and know more than her. She is the woman in the family and knows nothing. Please be patient!"
Zhou Ming said to Qiao Jinfeng again, with a smile on his face instead of his harsh words just now.
"Uncle Zhou, it's okay. Auntie also means well, I won't mind."
Qiao Jinfeng smiled softly. At this time, the child in her belly suddenly kicked her, which shocked her. She didn't believe these things, but the child's affairs were not trivial.
It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.
Gu Xihe secretly squeezed Qiao Jinfeng's hand and reassured her with his eyes. He knew what his wife's actions meant. He would go to the temple when he had time to ask for amulets and leave them to his children.
"Let's eat roasted whole lamb."
I don't know who said hello, and everyone gathered together again. The poor lamb was commented on by the diners and devoured it.
"Nana is good at making tofu and can also make sauce. Her braised elbow is also top-notch. Her baked scallion pancakes are simply amazing. Put them on a plate, lift them from the middle with your hands, and twist them layer by layer. The crust of the pancakes is golden and thin.
Yeah..."
The Nana mentioned by Zhou Ming was a waiter at the resort, but everyone knew it, even Zhou Ming's wife knew that this girl had a close relationship with Zhou Ming.
But she didn't care, as long as she had food and drink, she felt at ease as her own big room. No matter there were three or four people outside, she would always be the boss of the family.
This girl named Nana has an oval face, just because Zhou Ming likes women with big faces and good looks.
In order to show off her appearance, she put a lot of thought into it. She first permed her hair to make it look like she had more hair, and then straightened her hair to look like two rows of noodles hanging next to a carrot, making it look nondescript.
Zhou Ming insisted on asking Nana to show everyone how to make brine and order tofu. It is said that there is a well in the resort, which is famous for its good water. The water is sweet and rich in minerals. The tofu made with this water is fragrant and smooth.
Qiao Jinling didn't understand why Zhou Ming liked to watch Nana order tofu so much, but after seeing Nana's actions, she understood immediately. When Nana ordered tofu like embroidery, she stood there with her right hand like Guanyin brushing the willow.
Sprinkle the brine with a trembling motion, and stir the soy milk slowly and evenly with your left hand.
Nana's proud body trembled and Zhou Ming's eyes straightened.
Qiao Jinling suddenly felt sick. She decided to wait until this time to go back and persuade her father to withdraw his shares. She said she would not agree to work together. This Zhou Ming was so disgusting. It was bound to happen to this kind of person sooner or later.
Except for Zhou Ming and his eldest daughter-in-law, who watched with gusto, everyone else looked embarrassed.
Qiao Qianqian nodded silently to Song Jingxing with a guilty look on his face. He just hoped that Song Jingxing would not have any opinions about their family, especially Qiao Jinling.
Song Jingxing didn't react at all. Over the years, the sugar-coated bullets that overseas Chinese had fired at him were more exaggerated than this, and he didn't take them seriously at all.
As for Qiao Xiangqian's character, he absolutely believed in it.
Qiao Jinling was too lazy to read on, but suddenly remembered something, and called Song Yishan out with her eyes, for fear of being seen.
In fact, everyone saw their little actions and just laughed without revealing it. Aren't all young lovers like this?
