Chapter Eighty-Five: A Treat
During the Chinese New Year, Lu Mingxuan and Luo Qingyan said that they would invite Ye Guoliang's family to come to the house for dinner on the sixth day of the new year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info After they came, they should have invited Ye Guoliang's family to dinner a long time ago, but they have not had a chance to make a mess recently.
On the sixth day of the new year, Luo Qingyan and Lu Mingxuan both got up early to prepare the dishes they were going to eat at noon today. Luo Qingyan planned to prepare ten dishes, including pheasant stewed mushrooms, braised rabbit meat, braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, sauerkraut and white meat, fried lamb with green onions, sweet potatoes, fried yam with fungus, sweet and sour cabbage, and shredded dried tofu. And the portions are generous. In this day and age, such a table of meals is simply too rich.
The pheasants and hares were all brought by Lu Mingxuan and Ye Guoliang into the mountain, and the rest except for the basic supplies in the county were all brought back by Luo Qingyan little by little. Lu Mingxuan never asked the source of things, which also saved Luo Qingyan a lot of trouble.
The reason why Luo Qingyan prepared such a sumptuous meal was that Ye Guoliang was Lu Mingxuan's comrade-in-arms and good brother, and he also helped them a lot. Second, Ye Guoliang is now the director of the county public security bureau and a member of the standing committee of the county party committee. With Ye Guoliang's support, Lu Mingxuan's work in Song County will also go more smoothly. And she heard Lu Mingxuan say that his comrade-in-arms has three children, all of whom are Tao boys, and they will definitely be able to eat, if the meal is less prepared, it will be embarrassing if it is not enough to eat at that time. She has to entertain people no matter what, and she can't embarrass Lu Mingxuan.
Lu Mingxuan knew that his craftsmanship was not good, so he could only follow his daughter-in-law. He watched the dishes prepared by his daughter-in-law one after another, and he was very happy. This shows that the daughter-in-law attaches great importance to her comrades-in-arms, which indirectly shows that she attaches great importance to herself.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door of the small courtyard, and I heard someone shouting outside the door: "Mingxuan, we are here, open the door quickly." ā
Lu Mingxuan hurriedly went out to open the door when he heard the voice, and Luo Qingyan also went out together. I saw a family of five coming together, and it was Ye Guoliang and his wife who arrived with their three children. The two sides introduced each other, Lu Mingxuan let the family of five into the living room, Luo Qingyan took out the prepared candy, peanuts, melon seeds, hazelnuts, etc. and distributed them to the children, and gave each of the children a New Year's money. The adults gave in for a long time because of this, and finally Ye Guoliang took the board before stopping.
Luo Qingyan said: "Brother Ye, sister-in-law, you sit first, I'm still cooking in the kitchen, you talk first." ā
Ye Guoliang's wife, Feng Yufen, immediately stood up, "I'll go with you and give you a beating." With that, he walked out of the living room with Luo Qingyan.
Ye Guoliang saw that the two women had gone out, so he went to Lu Mingxuan's side, and clubbed Lu Mingxuan with his arm, and Lu Mingxuan whispered: "I said that you are a good boy, you married such a beautiful daughter-in-law." It is estimated that our county, no, the most beautiful girl in our city let you marry home. I said, your family is in Kyoto, how did you know our girl here?"
Lu Mingxuan replied: "I was seriously injured during the mission, and it was my daughter-in-law who saved me, otherwise the grass on my grave would have to be tall now." She took care of me for more than a month, and then I decided to marry her home. ā
Ye Guoliang was surprised: "Yo, you still see the truth in adversity?
Lu Mingxuan nodded, "Ordinary people can't compare to her in medical skills." At that time, I was almost hit in the heart by a bullet, and if it weren't for Xiao Yan, even if there were other doctors, I probably wouldn't have been able to perform such a dangerous operation. I'm scared when I think about it now, I'm so lucky to have met Xiao Yan. ā
Ye Guoliang imagined the scene at that time and felt afraid of his brother. The two chatted about their former comrades-in-arms and the current situation in Songxian. It didn't take long to see Feng Yufen and Luo Qingyan start to serve food to the living room table, so they all hurriedly got up to help.
When the dishes were all served, Ye Guoliang and his wife looked at it, good guys, the whole table of dishes, chicken, meat, and fish, made the children swallow their saliva greedily.
Lu Mingxuan poured liquor for Ye Guoliang, and Luo Qingyan poured orange juice for Feng Yufen and the three children, and he could also drink orange juice himself.
Lu Mingxuan first picked up his wine glass and said, "I should have invited Guoliang and my sister-in-law to come to the house for a meal a long time ago, but I couldn't take care of it for a while ago, so I will make up for it today." In the future, the sister-in-law can often bring the children to play at home. Here's our toast. ā
Everyone raised their glasses, and the children joined in the fun. After the first round of drinking, Lu Mingxuan and Ye Guoliang drank alone, and the women and children could start eating. Luo Qingyan used chopsticks to put a lot of dishes in the bowls for the three children, and the children who ate them did not lift their heads. The two women took care of the children while eating, chatting by the way.
The guests and hosts of this meal were happy, especially the three children who sat on the sofa after eating, and they all shouted that the dishes made by Aunt Luo were too delicious. Ye Guoliang also gave Luo Qingyan a thumbs up, "Brother and sister, this dish is really incurable, to be honest, it's the first time I've eaten such a delicious dish." ā
Feng Yufen echoed casually: "No, my brother and sister's craft is really nothing, one day I have to learn from my brother and sister." ā
Luo Qingyan said with a smile: "Okay, sister-in-law can come over when she is free, I don't have anything to do at home, I also think about cooking by myself, and I have learned some from others." ā
Ye Guoliang's family stayed until 4 o'clock in the afternoon before returning home, and before leaving, Luo Qingyan packed a lot of snacks for the children. Feng Yufen hurriedly stopped when she saw it, "Alas, brother and sister, it's enough for us to come to your house to have a big meal, how can we go back and get things again." ā
Luo Qingyan explained: "Sister-in-law, these are for the children, and there are still at home, and I can't eat so much myself, what's wrong with getting some for the children." Don't push it, this is a New Year's gift from my aunt to the children, okay?"
Feng Yufen was about to push, but Ye Guoliang spoke, "Okay, just take what your younger brothers and sisters give, and go home and keep it for the children." ā
Feng Yufen felt very embarrassed, she was still holding it. But seeing the children's eager little eyes, they cheekily accepted it. Ye Guoliang is not polite, he will have the opportunity to return it in the future, and he will not be polite to his comrades-in-arms, especially Lu Mingxuan, he knows that Lu Mingxuan is sincere.
After sending Ye Guoliang's family away, Lu Mingxuan hurriedly asked his daughter-in-law to rest on the kang, and he came to clean up the house. He was really afraid of tiring his daughter-in-law, after all, her daughter-in-law was still pregnant.
Luo Qingyan was not polite and went back to the house to rest. I fell asleep after lying on the kang for a while, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already dark. Lu Mingxuan saw that his daughter-in-law woke up, so he sat on the side of the kang and whispered: "Xiao Yan, get up and sober up and eat something, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night." ā
Luo Qingyan rolled around on the kang twice before sitting up, Lu Mingxuan wiped her face with a warm wet towel before carrying her to the kang, and gave Luo Qingyan a cup of warm water for her to drink some water in her cup. Lu Mingxuan moved the dinner table into the back room and put it next to the kang, and then brought dinner into the house. didn't let Luo Qingyan go to the ground, so let her sit on the edge of the kang to eat.
Lu Mingxuan knew that his daughter-in-law was tired. The husband and wife both lay on the kang early and chatted, and it was not until Luo Qingyan fell asleep that Lu Mingxuan fell asleep with his daughter-in-law in his arms.
