Chapter 109: Chinese New Year (2)
Put more than a dozen pork ribs in the oil pan at one time, not too much, otherwise it will affect the taste, and wait for all the discoloration to be scooped up, and then fry the second pot.
"Can you eat it?" asked Cheng Hao with a blank look.
"It hasn't been blown up yet, it's going to be blown up twice. ”
Wait until all the ribs are fried on one side, then soak the egg wash in flour and start again, this time it will be fried and eaten.
He Xin scooped up two pieces and put them in the bowl, and said with a smile: "Come, taste it!"
Cheng Hao took two fingers at the two ends of the ribs, blew on it, took a small bite, scalded his tongue, felt fragrant and tender, and the garlic fragrance was especially sufficient, and nodded violently: "Well, it's delicious!"
In a blink of an eye, the two ribs were gnawed clean, and he still pouted his fingers and said, "When I was playing cards just now, my mother praised you." ”
"What are you complimenting me on?"
This will He Xin put the fried ribs aside and start to fry the seven or eight ripe elbows that have been cooked.
"Say you can do it, cook deliciously, and get out of the hall and in the kitchen. It's still this year's New Year, fortunately, you came, so she saved a lot of effort. As she spoke, she looked at the side face with a smile in her eyes, and said, "It seems that your work has not been in vain this time, and my mother has completely accepted you." ”
"Yes, I'll have to toast my aunt two glasses at that moment. "This thing said with a smug face.
On how to please the future mother-in-law, He Xin still has a lot of experience in asking himself, not to mention that he can handle everything in his current conditions.
The house is about to be there, the career is a little successful, and there is a kitchen out of the hall as Cheng Hao said just now.
Such a hairy-footed son-in-law, which mother-in-law would be dissatisfied?
"I'll tell you, my mother drinks more than me, and you may not be able to drink more than my mother. Cheng Hao said with a disdainful face.
Then he said: "Don't be complacent, my mother said, although you say it beautifully, but it depends on your actual actions, don't say one thing and do another, the days will be long." ”
He Xin saw that the elbows in the pot were almost fried, so he hurriedly fished them out and put them in the cold water prepared in advance, when he heard a "snort", and the originally fried pigskin full of bubbles instantly deflated and turned into folds.
He turned off the fire, wiped his hands and said: "What to say one thing and do another, this kind of thing doesn't exist at all, if you don't believe it, wait for another two months, my age will pass, let's go and register the marriage." ”
He Xin was born in the 80s, if you insist on saying that he has anything to do with the original owner of this body in his previous life, I am afraid that his birthday is the same day, and this birthday is still a very strange day, April 1, April Fool's Day. By April 1 of this year, he had just turned 22 years old, reaching the legal age of marriage.
Hearing his words, Cheng Hao was first taken aback, then pursed his lips and smiled: "What do you mean by proposing to me?"
He Xin didn't deny it, dragged her over and kissed her, and said with a smile: "That's right, that's what I meant." ”
"Hmph, that's a marriage proposal?"
"If you want to be romantic, no problem, tomorrow I'll go buy a diamond ring and roses, and kneel down to propose to you. ”
"There's something wrong with you! I want to get married so early, don't forget that you've just started junior college, and I've just graduated!" Cheng Hao broke free from his arms and said with a sinking face.
Originally, she was just joking, but she immediately realized that her boyfriend had done it.
"Uh......"
He Xin really didn't know if he could get married when he went to college this year, but when he saw his girlfriend's unhappy expression, he hurriedly changed his words: "Then why don't you wait until I graduate?"
“......”
Cheng Hao was speechless for a while, she looked at He Xin, and her expression became a little unnatural. Speaking from the heart, she had never thought about this problem, her eyes became fluttering, and she said vaguely: "Anyway, I don't want to get married so early, I ......"
Halfway through speaking, she saw her boyfriend's eyes showing gloom, her heart twitched, and she suddenly felt an inexplicable weakness and irritability, and pursed her lips: "I want to achieve something in my career, after all, I have studied acting for so many years!"
She is actually a very traditional girl in her bones, and getting married means a husband and children for her, and she may have to say goodbye to her beloved acting career.
But she has a strong personality since she was a child, and she has been full of praise along the way, and now that she has just entered the society, she wants to achieve a career more than enter the palace of marriage prematurely.
He Xin was silent for a long time before he turned up the corners of her mouth and did not respond. There must be some disappointment in his heart, although he really wants to start a family as soon as possible, it is better to have a daughter, have another son, make up a good word, and then spend this life in a good way, but at the same time he also roughly understands his girlfriend's mind.
Two people together is to tolerate each other and understand each other, he can't ask his girlfriend to give up his career and ideals for his own selfishness, and even if this kind of request is raised, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve.
In this case, it's nothing more than a wait, it doesn't matter, anyway, I'm a year younger than her, so I can afford to wait!
Cheng Hao also realized that his answer might have stabbed his boyfriend, so he took the initiative to come over, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face, like coaxing a child, and said, "Good, don't think about it, work hard!"
"That's it?"
He Xin, who has always been very good at self-comfort and self-psychological adjustment, quickly dissipated the unhappiness in his heart, and at this time he deliberately pretended to be a child and pouted his lips at her.
"Okay—"
Cheng Hao had to take another sip on his lips.
The goods were satisfied, and with a happy look, they turned around and began to clean up the large pile of seafood.
Cheng Hao looked at his back, and couldn't help but show a sweet smile on his face. Maybe she is still not sure whether she is really in love with this man, but what more could a man who can empathize, understand her, spoil her, and bring great pleasure to her physiology and psychology?
He Xin was busy for almost a whole day, and at six o'clock in the evening, a large table of dishes was set out on time, although there were only four people in the family, but this is the atmosphere that the New Year wanted.
He remembers that when he was in his hometown, it was often the case every year during the Chinese New Year, meat and vegetables could be eaten for a Spring Festival, and seafood could not be eaten, and after watching the Spring Festival Gala, he could also cook a big pot of delicious seafood rice.
Of course, I don't need it here, because there are still fennel-filled dumplings made by Cheng's mother today.
This year, a hairy son-in-law came to the door, Cheng's mother was a lot more relaxed, and happily took out a bottle of old Moutai, saying that it was brought back by Cheng's father when he went to the capital on a business trip.
He Xin took it and took a look, the production date was actually 83 years, and he was about to catch up with his age, to be honest, he was really a little reluctant to drink this wine, if he saved it for another ten or twenty years, I am afraid it would be worth hundreds of thousands.
"It's okay, it's okay, I bought a total of two bottles back then, and I haven't been willing to drink it, and then I can't drink it because I'm not in good health, so I've saved it until now, let's open a bottle today, and another bottle will be opened when we get married, ah!
He was especially happy for the Chinese New Year this year, not only did he pick up a life, but his daughter also brought the object home. The young man was good, he was very satisfied, and his face was a little more red than before.
The hypocritical words were said on the first day of arriving home, and now it is a happy New Year for everyone to celebrate together, looking at the pale yellow Moutai in the wine glass, exuding a rich sauce fragrance, He Xin is really a little greedy.
After eating a meal for a long time, He Xin rarely played at a super level, a bottle of Moutai not only shared equally with Cheng Hao and the three of them, but also learned that they came to a bottle of beer to rinse their mouths.
But after a while, stars began to emerge in front of me, and I hummed when I got off the table and fell on the single sofa in the corner.
"Tsk, it's really not much. Cheng's mother couldn't help but shake her head when she saw him looking like a bear.
"I helped him to sleep in my room. Cheng Hao said.
"Go to your house to sleep?" Cheng's mother was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, the TV was placed in the big room where He Xin and Cheng's father live now, and they still have to watch the Spring Festival Gala for a while, and they definitely can't sleep.
Thinking that when he ate dumplings in the middle of the night, the drunken cat should always wake up, and there was nothing to guard against, so he waved his hand and said: "You help him go, remember to take off his coat, and be careful not to let him catch a cold." ”
"Hey!"
Cheng Hao responded, walked over and wanted to help him up, but the goods were already delirious at this time, and Cheng Hao really couldn't help him alone, but fortunately, with Cheng's mother's help, the two of them carried him into the small room together.
Cheng Hao helped him take off his coat and shoes, and pulled the quilt over to cover it. After Cheng's mother went out, she looked at the frowning and sleeping face on the bed, and still felt that the topic of the afternoon made him unhappy, at least not as happy as it appeared on the surface.
