Chapter Seventy-Three: Silver Bracelet for Jade Bracelet
The next day, it was a fine sunny day. Before six o'clock, Qi Jingtao reluctantly got up from the bed, left Su Min, who was still sleeping in the spring of begonias, and came to the South Gate Farmers' Market. He came to the morning market to buy the seafood products planned for today's grandmother's birthday party.
In the inland province of central Yunnan, there is no problem in eating mountain delicacies, eating seafood is not a good choice, not to mention the price, and you may not be able to buy your favorite seafood products. Qi Jingtao, who was ready to use seafood at his grandmother's birthday banquet on a whim, had to try his luck at the only place in central Yunnan where seafood was sold to see what seafood could be offered at the fish market today.
Come to the aquatic product area of the South Gate Farmers' Market, there are already people coming and going here, most of the people who come to buy aquatic products early in the morning are opening restaurants, and they are the big customers of the seafood market. Fortunately, the cinnamon fish, shrimp, crab, and scallops prepared by Qi Jingtao were all big goods, and even the ingredients were purchased soon. I went to the meat area to quickly purchase the beef I needed, and hurried back with the ingredients.
When I got home, I saw that Su Min had already made breakfast and was waiting for him to come back, "Wife, get up!?"
"Husband, why don't you wake people up when you go out, it's bad if you go late. Su Min complained, "Come over and have breakfast, and set off immediately after eating." ”
Qi Jingtao looked at Su Min, who was wearing a pink shirt and jeans and casual shoes, looking slimmer and slender, and asked, "Hehehe, I don't want you to sleep more." Hey, why don't you wear that new dress you bought?"
"This dress is convenient for work, and when I go to your house, I can't just sit stupidly, right? Besides, it's convenient to take a motorcycle later." Su Min brought him breakfast, and said his reasons with a smile.
"It's really inconvenient to wear a skirt and ride a motorcycle, but it's also beautiful. Hehehe, my wife's figure is a clothes rack, and she can wear anything. ”
"I want you to say, eat quickly, hurry up. Su Min gave him a blank look, sat down and urged Qi Jingtao while eating.
The two hurriedly finished their breakfast and rode their motorcycles to their hometown.
Hurry up and hurry, when I came to Qi Guanying's hometown, it was already past eight o'clock. The family was already busy killing chickens, ducks and sheep, and the cousins and aunts of the family came to help early, as in previous years. Everyone is busy at the well outside the house, cleaning the slaughtered chickens, ducks and sheep, as well as all kinds of vegetables, mushrooms, and ingredients to be used this morning.
Seeing the slim glasses girl who came back from riding a motorcycle with Qi Jingtao and got out of the car and was looking around curiously, they all looked at her with a smile.
Qi Jingtao parked the motorcycle, quickly took out a cigarette, and went to the well to disperse cigarettes for the uncles who came to help. While scattering cigarettes, he smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt are here early, smoking and smoking." ”
"Hahaha, Xiaotao, bring your daughter-in-law back to celebrate your grandmother's birthday, when will you invite us to eat candy?"
Qi Jingtao smiled and said loudly: "Hehehe, her name is Su Min, and she came here for the first time today." Hehehe, take a few pots, I raised these fish and shrimp crabs, and they are still alive. ”
"Shout, this year, Xiaotao will take his daughter-in-law home, and we will also follow the blessings, Zhenghai, and vacate those big pots. Qi Zheng was carrying water from the well in the east, and at the same time instructed his cousin, who was feathering the ducks.
Qi Jingtao took out bags of seafood from the satchel on the rear frame of the motorcycle, and cooperated with his uncles and aunts to place these parallel goods.
Su Minqiao stood next to the motorcycle with a blushing face, looking at the uncles and aunts who were doing the work in her hands and watching her laugh in a friendly way and making fun of Qi Jingtao.
Fortunately, Qi Lin and Qi Wen, sisters who heard the voice, ran out of the yard to greet them: "Brother and sister are back!"
When Su Min heard this, she turned to look at the two young and beautiful girls who had just appeared, "You are Qi Lin and Qi Wen, right?"
"I'm Qi Lin, she's Qi Wen, one year younger than me, and she's in her second year of high school this year! Qi Lin stepped forward happily and took Su Min's hand and walked home.
Su Min turned around and flushed the uncles and aunts by the well and smiled, before following Qi Lin and Qi Wen into the courtyard with a smile.
When Qi Jingtao arranged the seafood and sent some of the ingredients cleaned by his uncles and aunts to the kitchen, Su Min had already integrated into it. The kitchen is chef by Shi Lei's father, Shi Yongqing, and his parents and Su Min help the kitchen, which is busy and orderly, and he is happy.
Seeing Qi Jingtao coming in with a large pot of ingredients, Su Min, who was preparing seafood seasoning, looked up at him, and ordered with a smile: "Ah Tao, the seafood you bought, make boiled shrimp, spicy crab, and steamed osmanthus fish in the morning." In the afternoon, make saltwater shrimp, spicy crab, and barbecue scallops. You can prepare the shrimp, crab, and cinnamon fish that you will use in the morning. ”
"You're going to do it?" Qi Jingtao asked in surprise.
"Can you eat what you made? Su Min will do it, you go and do it. Qi Zhengming, who was cutting the duck, said to his son with a smile.
"I've never cooked, so don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, Su Min didn't come to see how you ended up today. Chen Huifen, who was cutting to the material, also counted her son with a smile.
"Hahaha, today I also learned how to cook seafood. I'll do it later, Chef Su Min. Uncle Shi Yongqing also joked happily.
What's the situation?I'm my own son, why was I marginalized so quickly?Qi Jingtao looked at Su Min, who was smiling at him proudly, grinned, and obediently walked out of the kitchen.
When she came to the courtyard, Qi Lin, who was placing candy with Qi Wen, made a grimace at the old brother with sympathy on her face, leaned over to the old brother, and whispered: "Brother, this is the future sister-in-law, right? Look at it, it took a lot of effort, and it was all bought. Hehe, only the old sister is still with you. ”
"We were originally a gang, and you still want to rebel?" Qi Jingtao scratched his sister's nose and went out to sort, peel, peel, and wash fish, shrimp and crabs with peace of mind.
As time went on, relatives arrived one by one. By noon, the guests had arrived. Upstairs and downstairs at home, the yard was full of banquets, and the juniors also went to the hall in batches to pay their respects to the old birthday star.
After cooking the seafood from the kitchen, when Su Min, Qi Jingtao, and Qi Lin went to pay their respects, a litter of cousins and cousins went to watch.
Grandma sat in the hall with a smile, and after kneeling down with her grandchildren kindly, she obediently took out a pair of silver bracelets as a birthday gift and helped her put on Su Min. Grandma was so happy that she couldn't see her eyebrows, and after giving her grandchildren a red envelope, she pulled Su Min to her side, took out a turquoise jade bracelet from her pocket, and put it on Su Min's left wrist.
Grandma's actions surprised the three aunts who were standing next to grandma, and when they came, Su Min was busy making seafood in the kitchen, and before they had time to meet, they all paid attention to Su Min, who met for the first time.
Especially Qi Cuiping, looking at Su Min, who was wearing the jade bracelet given by her grandmother, and was looking at Qi Jingtao nervously. She had never heard her nephew mention that she had a girlfriend, and she had helped him introduce her, so why did she suddenly bring one and get the approval of her mother? This little woman is so good?
Qi Jingtao saw the third aunt looking at him with a smile, smiled at Su Min, and in front of the three aunts who came with her, he solemnly introduced Su Min to the three aunts, "Su Min, these three are my eldest son, second aunt, and third aunt." ”
The eldest aunt and the second aunt greeted Su Min in a friendly manner, but Qi Cuiping didn't speak, staring at Su Min, until Su Min pulled Qi Jingtao for help, and then said with a smile: "I'm strange, how can I chirp crookedly to introduce this kid, it turns out that I have such a good girlfriend." Su Min, be stricter in the future, this kid has not been a worry-free master since he was a child. ”
