On Sunday, Yin Jie and He Yuxin got up early in the morning. Today is He Yuxin's small gathering.

Yin Jie is in charge of cleaning the room.

When she came back last night, she was so tired that she put down her bag and coat and washed up and rested. He Yuxin had the energy to watch "Billion" for a while, and made another bowl of wontons for supper. However, He Yuxin seems to be a typical incompetent tidying person (except for his study), he never seems to be able to see what is inappropriate in the room, and he never minds if the things on the table are not in place, so the work of tidying up the housework at home belongs to Yin Jie. Of course, twice a week, hourly aunts come over to help clean the floors, glass, and dust the furniture.

As the chef of this party, all the dishes will be made by He Yuxin.

He went to the vegetable market early in the morning, and when he came back, he was busy in the kitchen, he had to make noodles, he had to live dumpling noodles, prepare meat filling, clean up the sea bass, clams, scallops he bought early in the morning, and marinate a little beef. As for side dishes such as onions, garlic, vegetables and fruits, Yin Jie will come over to help clean them later.

Today's sea bass was not as fresh as expected, and he thought that he could make a sour soup fish, which everyone loved to eat. In addition, I plan to make stir-fried clams, vermicelli scallops, and beef slices with king oyster mushrooms, and as for vegetables, it is enough to make a boiled lettuce and a tofu loofah soup.

He Yuxin's dumpling filling is a must, so that his children will never forget it, so that every party has a fixed activity of "making dumplings". Of course, the meat filling is well prepared and the noodles are awakened, and the rest of the work such as kneading, rolling dough, and making dumplings can be done very well by several ladies, and even Yin Jie's dumplings are also decently wrapped. In addition to the live dumpling noodles, he made the dough with rye flour, and waited for a few small ones to bake German farmer's bread later.

Yes, German farmer bread.

The first time Yin Jie came back from country S, he never forgot the farmer's bread. He Yuxin took the time to go to the "Schindler" German restaurant recommended by the German Embassy to taste it a few times, and when he came back, he began to study this way. After two experiments, I felt good, and Yin Jie personally verified that he planned to bake a large bread for each family this time.

The two were busy until 11 o'clock, and Chen Yan and his wife arrived first. Chen Yan has a white face, wears a pair of metal thin-framed glasses, looks a little weak in his medium stature, does not talk much, and his mouth must be golden sentences. His wife Xun Li has a round face and round eyes, slightly permed ear-length short hair, and a particularly lively smile. After the two of them changed their shoes in the foyer and entered the house, Chen Yan walked to the sofa and sat down with a very clear goal, and asked softly: "Is there tea?"

"What kind of tea do you want to drink?" Tieguanyin, Dahongpao, Biluochun, Yunwu, Maojian, Longjing, Pu'er?" Yin Jie reported a string of tea names. Her reputation for loving tea has spread out in the circle of friends, and friends in China will bring her tea whenever they come to the imperial capital.

"Pu'er!" Chen Yan said softly.

Sure enough. Yin Jie smiled quietly. took out a piece of tea cake and handed it to Xun Li. Xun Li took out a bamboo tea tray from the sideboard, and then found a special tea set for Pu'er tea from the dining cabinet, and went to divide tea, wash tea, and make tea. Over there, Chen Yan had already turned on the TV and called up the program he wanted to watch.

Chen Yan works in the National Economic Arbitration Commission, and has now ascended to the throne of director safely, and his future is very bright. Xun Li works for a state-owned insurance company, but unfortunately the company's office battles are very fierce, and the troubles in her heart will inevitably leak even when talking and laughing with friends.

Yin Jie returned to the kitchen to continue to help He Yuxin clean the scallops. After brushing the sand off the shells, she gently pried them open with a knife. She is so good at playing with this hand that even He Yuxin can't compare, so she has always done this work by herself.

Then remove the internal organs of the scallops... , this is all used to doing, but today I don't know why I always feel a little uncomfortable. When she cleaned up the fifth scallop, she felt that the fishy smell became more and more pungent, so pungent that her throat actually felt a little locked.

At this time, there was another commotion in the living room, and Zhang Xinhua's family arrived.

Yin Jie took out Zwilling ion soap and washed his hands, before rubbing He Yuxin: "Husband... , there are only three left, can you help me remove the internal organs in a moment? I'm a little unwell today. Go out and talk to them first, and then come back and help you with something else?"

He Yuxin glanced at the cooking table: "No need, you can talk to them, and you can make dumplings together in a while." ”

Yin Jie wiped his hands and hugged him from behind, and he wanted to go out, but he reflexively fixed Yin Jie between his elbows and kissed him carefully for a while before letting go of the person.

Yin Jie came to the living room with a slight red face, and Zhang Xinhua's big voice rang out: "Ah, I thought you two went out?

Everyone laughs. Zhang Xinhua's daughter-in-law Wu Lijun pulled him and urged her son Zhang Yumeng to call someone.

Zhang Yumeng's child has pink makeup, her white and tender little face is flushed, and her big black eyes are round and very smart, if you don't look at what he wears, many people will think that this is a girl.

"Hello Auntie...", he opened his mouth a little shyly. The last time they got together was half a year ago, and the three-year-old couldn't remember who the aunt in front of him was.

Yin Jie happily hugged him in his arms and kissed his tender little face.

Dumpling-making has always been an activity for ladies. The men were talking and laughing loudly in the living room, while the women were gossiping about the family in the kitchen, and gradually talked about some things around them. Xun Li said that her current department leader is particularly "difficult", unable to communicate, and always carries another person to fight with her in the ring... The other two sternly condemned this person's behavior as petty and unpromising.

Then Yin Jie asked her, "Then what are you going to do next?"

"I'm going to change jobs. Xun Li sighed. It is not easy to enter a state-owned enterprise. State-owned enterprises are well treated, in addition to serious wages, gray income and various benefits are very high, if you can't stay anymore, few people will think about changing jobs.

"Got a family?" asked Yin Jie.

"A headhunter came to me and asked me, AIA. The salary level is higher than here. But I'm still a little unwilling, so I was squeezed out by them?"

"What's there to be unwilling to do with this? Life is not for others to see, living well is the most important thing. However, I still advise you to learn more about it, and figure out the advantages and disadvantages of changing jobs before making a decision. Impulsiveness is the devil!"

The three of them chatted while working again, and slowly talked about Wu Lijun's family affairs. She has always had a bad relationship with her mother-in-law, the reason is that Wu Lijun is not highly educated, and her mother-in-law is a senior engineer of the Water Conservancy Design Institute and belongs to the Kochi class, so she looks down on this daughter-in-law and feels that she is not worthy of her son. Even if she gave birth to Zhang Yumeng, the situation did not change.

"A few days ago, I was noisy again, I was really angry, I ran out alone in the middle of dinner, and Zhang Xinhua found me after dangling on the Xizhimen Bridge for a long time..."

"Hey, how can you lose yourself so much?" Yin Jie was secretly shocked in his heart, the Xizhimen Bridge in the imperial capital is known as the "vehicle maze", the design is extremely strange, and it is often impossible to find a suitable chadao to get off the bridge when driving up, but the location is to rush and cannot not be stopped. There are cars coming and going on this bridge every day, how can any pedestrian walk on that bridge?

She didn't dare to mention this stubble, for fear of arousing Wu Lijun's bad thoughts again.

"Man is iron, rice is steel. If you don't eat, you're starving yourself, and you're losing your own body, who will feel sorry?" she said sincerely, "Only people who really care about you will feel sorry for you." Then why are you doing it for—" she lowered her voice, "a person who doesn't like each other to punish yourself, to punish the people who care about you, what did you do wrong? What did they do wrong?"

"Then what should I do?" Wu Lijun had a stagnant pool of despair in her eyes, "That's!"

"Isn't your mother-in-law in good health? ”

"Really?" Wu Lijun's eyes lit up, "Then why didn't he tell me?"

Oh, why don't you tell your wife? Yin Jie was also curious.

"Maybe I'm afraid that you will bring it out when you quarrel with your mother-in-law. Xun Li interjected.

Yin Jie glanced at Xun Li with a smile, and accurately conveyed a look of "great".

After the dumplings were put into the pot, Wu Lijun was responsible for staring at the dumplings, He Yuxin was responsible for frying and frying, and Yin Jie led a group of people to open the parasols in the small courtyard, put together a long table, spread the tablecloth, move the chairs, and take out the sobered red wine and red wine glasses...

After a while, Chef He's meal was served, and the small courtyard was filled with the aroma of food.

Yin Jie pushed the plate with scallops to He Yuxin, "My husband will help me eat." ”

"What's wrong?" He Yuxin looked at her a little surprised, "Haven't you always liked to eat vermicelli scallops?"

"I'm not eating today. Yin Jie explained, "I felt a little uncomfortable today, and smelling this smell was like my throat was locked." ”

Chen Yan specially picked up the plate in front of him and sniffed it, and then looked at He Yuxin very innocently, indicating that he was still a supporter of Chef He's skills.

"It was a real surprise. Zhang Xinhua said with a smile, "But we especially welcome this kind of accident." If you don't want to eat, I can share it!"

Everyone giggled.

"Do you have any discomfort in your stomach?" asked Wu Lijun more carefully.

"It seems to be a little nausea..."Yin Jieqiang smiled: "It's okay, I've been a little sick to my stomach recently, and I'll be fine for a while." Our teacher He's sour soup fish today is very delicious, let's try it. ”

Wu Lijun leaned into her ear and said, "Is your aunt normal?"

"It's normal... Ahh Maybe she was too busy at the time, and the eldest aunt passed perfunctorily with only a few drops of dark brown blood...

"No...," she muttered in disbelief. She didn't notice that He Yuxin beside her was completely petrified.

"Do you have a pregnancy test stick at home?" asked Wu Lijun.

"There's... Yes, I..." Yin Jie got up and walked into the house, but accidentally tripped up, Wu Lijun hurriedly got up and helped her, and said, "Be careful, I'll help you." ”

She went back to the house, took out the pregnancy test and went into the bathroom.

It took a long time to go in, and it wasn't until Wu Lijun wondered if she had fainted and wanted to break in that she came out with a pregnancy test.

... ...

The courtyard was quiet until Wu Lijun came out. She smiled softly at He Yuxin and said:

"Congratulations to Mr. He, you're going to be a father!"
