Chapter 8: The Barbecue (1)
If it weren't for Chen Yu saying that his father had a gift to give him, Qinghe would probably be too lazy to go home. When I got home, my father and his old man had already returned, and although he had already eaten outside, he was inevitably a little resentful about his two sons who went to someone's house to eat, leaving him a lonely old man.
"We're back!" As soon as he entered the door, Qinghe greeted Chen Yue, who was sitting on the sofa waiting for his son to come back.
"You two stinky boys know you're coming back now?" he glared at the two stinky boys who had just entered the door, pretending to be angry.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to come back so early. Chen Yu immediately began to smile and walked over to sit next to Chen Yue, "Didn't you say that you bought something for Qinghe, now take it out and show it to us!"
"Then Qinghe went home because he knew that there were gifts to take?" Chen Yue glanced at Qinghe and asked with a serious face.
"Hmm......" Qinghe nodded, just such a small act had caused 10,000 points of damage to Chen Yue.
"Ahem...... You're really honest, wouldn't you say that you came back because you missed your father?" Chen Yue sighed and beckoned Qinghe over, "Have you eaten well late......ly?"
"I've gained a pound. Qinghe tilted his head and smiled, "Eating with children seems to be easier to have an appetite, and I eat more than before." ”
"Listen to your brother, it's all you cooking and doing housework?" Chen Yue hesitated for a while, and finally said this.
"Well, for the time being, Qiandai would have helped before, but she seems to have done a lot of homework recently, so I didn't let her work. "In fact, in the grocery store, Qinghe needs to do a lot of housework, that is, when you get up early, buy a vegetable and prepare breakfast and dinner, as for clothes, large Qinghe will be thrown into the washing machine, and the close-fitting will be hand washed, but Qianqiu and Qiandai's underwear are hand-washed. Chiaki spends most of her time at home, opening the grocery store when she is in good health, and sleeping in bed when she is in poor shape, or snuggling up by the window to bask in the sun. With that kind of physical state, it doesn't seem to help much.
"Our family has never asked you to work, are you belittleing yourself?" Chen Yue's expression at this time was very strange, Qinghe couldn't tell whether he was angry or not, but when he said this, his heart suddenly chuckled, he wanted to justify, but he didn't know what to say.
"......" Qinghe hesitated, was dull for a long time, and finally didn't say anything.
"Hey, that kid is not in good health, and he has to take care of several underage younger brothers and sisters alone, I know these fathers. I didn't blame you for what I said just now, after all, our family has always treated you as a treasure, and you went to other people's homes to be a free nanny, and I felt a little uncomfortable as a father. Chen Yue saw Qinghe's depressed mood, and immediately explained a few words, this kid is too introverted and doesn't know how to be flexible, if he doesn't say it, he may continue to misunderstand.
"You're not angry with me?" Qinghe raised his head, glanced at Chen Yue, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, didn't I say it before, I'll be on your side. Chen Yue shook his head, took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Qinghe, "This is the car you just mentioned, it is the one you fancied before, didn't you go to their head office for an interview recently, the boss gave the best price, it can be regarded as picking up a big bargain!" Speaking of this car, Chen Yue was still a little proud, after all, the performance of this car is good, and it is also very easy to drive. In the past, Qinghe was picked up by Chen Yu to work, but now that Chen Yu is back, Qinghe lives in the grocery store again, and often sends the little girl to the hospital, and it seems really inconvenient to have no car.
"Really?" Qinghe was thinking about what kind of gift his father would give him, but he never expected that he would buy a car for himself, the car he fancied had more than 300,000 yuan, which was almost a year's salary of his father, and he didn't expect him to be so generous, he was so moved that he almost cried.
"Well, don't you want to go and see?" Chen Yue stood up and patted Qinghe's shoulder.
"Dad, you're suddenly so generous, we're all a little uncomfortable. Chen Yu followed behind them, as excited as Qinghe. He just heard his father say that he bought a car for Qinghe, but he didn't expect him to buy the one Qinghe fancied directly, and thought it was just a scooter for hundreds of thousands. Of course, that car was better than the one he was driving now.
"Young and poor, oily and smooth, have the ability to find me a daughter-in-law to come back, save the family from being all old bachelors!" Chen Yue glared at Chen Yu and led Qinghe into the elevator first.
Although the car is Qinghe's favorite model, the color is coquettish red, which makes Qinghe, who has always liked low-key, a little tangled in his heart.
"What, don't like red?" Chen Yue was from here after all, and when his son moved his eyelids, he knew what he was thinking.
"Why did you buy red?" Qinghe really didn't like red very much, he thought that black, white and gray would probably be fine, and red seemed to be a little too ostentatious.
"The safety factor of red is higher, as an old driver, I recommend red!" Chen Yue also thought about it for a long time when he bought a car, there is nothing bad about red, it is more eye-catching on the road, and the probability of accidents is slightly lower than that of other colors.
"Let's not care about the color first, let's get in the car and try it out!" Chen Yu was already waiting in the passenger seat, urging Qinghe and them to get into the car quickly.
This car, at the auto show, Qinghe has already tried to drive, so now it does not look rusty when it goes up, and it is very easy to drive.
"Dad, thank you!" Seeing the way he looks now, he seems to be very satisfied with this gift, and he probably understands Qiandai's appearance of smiling this afternoon, because the kind of happiness that comes up from the heart, no matter how much you hide it, you can't hide it.
Regarding the arrangement of New Year's Day, Qinghe and they decided to go to the lake for a barbecue at dinner, the recent temperature is not bad, and it is a sunny day, which is the most suitable for wild travel. Chen Yue didn't think about participating in young people's activities because he had other work arrangements. The barbecue tool Qinghe family originally had, but because it had not been used for a long time, it was necessary to take it out in advance to clean it and eliminate the poison by the way.
For meat, it tastes better if marinated overnight, but by the time they decided, the market was closed, so they had to wait to get up early the next day and take it home.
Qinghe didn't know anything about the ingredients needed for barbecue, he just had to wait to eat every time, and he didn't know what to buy at all, so Chen Yu came in handy at this time.
The two of them went to the market early in the morning to pick up a lot of ingredients suitable for barbecue, such as enoki mushrooms, corn, shiitake mushrooms, green peppers, eggplants, leeks, potatoes, taro, live prawns, small yellow croaker, grass carp, scallops, oysters, large ribs, chicken wings, tenderloin, chicken thighs, ham sausages, meatballs, bone and meat connections, pork ribs, rice cakes, etc. Of course, spices such as pepper, salt and pepper, ketchup, soy sauce, and vinegar are added.
The place where they barbecued was not very far from home, as long as they carried things and walked a short distance, they could get there, and the fire barbecue almost all depended on Chen Yu, but Qinghe studied very seriously on the side. The barbecue is within the taboo range of Qianqiu, but it's rare to come out to play today, and he thinks Qianqiu can make an exception and eat a little bit.
"Hey, Qinghe, that person has been looking at us since just now, is it someone you know?" Chen Yu looked at the tall man not far away and looked at this side with an expressionless face, and felt very embarrassed in his heart.
