Chapter 112: The Meaning of Coming Home
"Come down to eat!"
The voice of the eldest aunt came downstairs, and the two sisters, Li Wanqi and Ning Yue and Ning Xue, turned off the computer and went down to wash their hands and eat.
Sika followed them, and went down with her fart.
It's just to see what to eat today, Sika is full and doesn't want to eat.
The original square table in the hall was replaced with a large round table, Li Zhongqi was helping to set up the stools, and a total of eleven people were seated for lunch today.
The two brothers, Li Yumin and Li Yuguo, were still chatting with the old man and the old lady, and after Li Zhongqi set up the stools, he came over and asked them to take their seats.
The Li family's family education is relatively strict, the old man has been very strict with the three brothers since he was a child, and the family style has been continued, even if Li Yumin is very fond of Qiqi, she must be required to pay attention to etiquette at the dinner table.
"Dad, Mom, let's eat. ”
Li Yumin came over and helped the old lady over, but the old man didn't want him to help him, and felt that his body was tough.
The old man and the old lady sat in the right seat, Li Yumin and Li Yuguo sat on either side of them, and the other people's positions were more casual. I didn't sit like this on purpose, because I have been like this for decades, and over time I have become accustomed to it.
Sika himself went over to sit on the solid wood chair on the other side of the tea table, and watched the crowd walk back and forth, it yawned and lay down lazily.
Li Wanqi took Ning Yue and Ning Xue to wash their hands first, and then came back to let them sit down at the table, while she went into the kitchen to help serve the soup.
The soup has been simmering in a large pot for more than two hours, and it is boiled together with Huaishan, pork bones, carrots, corn, etc., and you can smell a sweet fragrance as soon as you open the lid.
Li Zhongqi was already scooping the soup, and there were two or three bowls of it on the table, and when he saw Li Wanqi coming in, he smiled and said, "You just came in, bring the soup out." ”
"Uh-huh!"
"Be careful of the burn. ”
Li Wanqi carefully held a bowl of soup and brought it out, her eyes were staring at the soup in the bowl, for fear of spilling, and she walked as slowly as she moved.
This can't blame her for being slow, these Korean bowls that are popular now, although they are good-looking, but the bottom of the hand is too shallow, and it is not hot when you hold it, which is far worse than the bowl of your ancestors.
"Grandpa, drink soup!"
Li Wanqi put the bowl of soup in front of the old man, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, her fingers were hot, and she quickly pinched her ears, and even her ears turned red.
"Oh, don't be hot, look at these bowls that Aqin bought, they are hot, and they can't be folded up to take up space, don't use these bowls for dinner at night, use the kind we used to have." ”
The old man saw that Qiqi's hands were all burned red, and he was distressed to death.
Li Yuguo promised: "Ah Qin won't buy it, the little girl in the supermarket said that this is good to look good and use, so she bought it, this kind of bowl is okay for other things, and it is really useless to put hot things." ”
Li Yumin said with a smile: "Qiqi usually does less housework, it's okay, let her practice more." ”
The old man was too lazy to listen to the two brothers Rory, and said to Li Wanqi: "Let your brother Zhongqi serve it." ”
"Oooh. ”
So Li Wanqi and Li Zhongqi's work was changed, Qiqi served soup, and Li Zhongqi went out.
Li Zhongqi was born in auto repair, with rough skin and thick meat on both hands, and at first he served two bowls at a time, and then he couldn't stand it.
complained to the mother who was frying vegetables: "Mom, these bowls you bought are really not good!"
Auntie: "......"
Li Wanqi finished scooping up the soup and came over to help serve the dishes, the dishes were very rich, and after all the dishes were ready to be put on the plate, the family sat down around the table and began to eat.
The culture of "eating" can be complicated to count in detail, just like the older generation when they meet, basically the first greeting is "Have you eaten?", family reunion must be a festive thing, and the first thing to do when encountering a festive thing is to "eat".
In many cases, the meaning of dinner parties is not only to fill their stomachs, but as the children grow up and go to work all over the world, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to eat a meal around a big table like this.
The delicacies are fragrant, and the wanderers from afar return as scheduled. This is probably the meaning of the reunion dinner.
Sika lazily spread out on the chair, and it watched the Li family chatting about their daily routines while eating, a small paw in the air, and the tip of the tail behind him stirred from time to time. It was very envious of the Li family's meal.
It would be nice if you could eat a little......
So Sika got up and walked over quietly.
Li Wanqi sat between Ning Yue and Ning Xue, the two little Loli were still young, the table was so big, she had to help with the dishes.
Ning Yue and Ning Xue have their own small bowls, the kind of heat-resistant white plastic bowls, with two rings on the side, and cute cartoon bunnies painted inside.
Ning Yue's bowl is light green with a light green edge, and Ning Xue's bowl is a pink edge, they recognize their own bowls, and if someone else takes the wrong one, they will also change it themselves.
After drinking the soup, Li Wanqi filled the two with a little rice.
The dishes on the table are sumptuous, such as salted duck, lion's head, hairy crab, egg dumplings, stuffed balls, white chopped chicken, steamed sea bass, and braised pork, all of which are home-cooked dishes.
"Yue'er, what do you want to eat?"
"I want that!"
So Li Wanqi sandwiched an egg dumpling for her.
"Cher, what about you?"
"I want this!"
So Li Wanqi sandwiched a stuffed ball for her.
Sika: "Meow. ”
Rub.
So Li Wanqi secretly fed Sika under the table a little sea bass meat.
Li Wanqi himself also sandwiched a lion's head to eat, of course it is not a real lion's head, this dish is also called Sixi meatballs in many places, and the method here is usually based on pork belly, water chestnuts, and shiitake mushrooms, made into stuffed balls, and then fried until golden brown, and finally braised on the plate.
Li Wanqi took a bite of the shellfish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and mellow, not to mention how satisfying this kind of big meat was.
"Sister Yang Yun, this must have been made by you, it's super delicious, Brother Zhong Qi is really blessed to marry you as a wife, beautiful, good cooking, hehe. Li Wanqi said with a smile to Yang Yun on the side.
"If it's delicious, eat more, it's not difficult to do. Yang Yun is very happy, and the best thing for the people who cook is to praise her for the deliciousness of the dishes.
Li Zhongqi came to dismantle the stage and said with a smile: "She, I usually cook more than her." ”
Sika listened to their words, and there was some emotion in his heart.
Yang Yun and Li Zhongqi have known each other since junior high school, and they heard that they were each other's first love, and they had broken up before, but in the end they came together, and after they got married, they found the feeling of their first love again. Li Zhongqi's work also began to improve, after Yang Yun became pregnant, he wanted to let her rest at home, but Yang Yun was afraid that he would have a big burden, so he still insisted on going to work for a while.
The husband and wife live in the town, and their lives are sweet and happy.
First love, first love......
How many can be like them?
Sika rubbed Qiqi, and it still wanted to eat fish.
