(31) Dinners

In the evening, Qiu Yan told Meng Fei and Xiaoru a few words, and prepared to go home to accompany Han Yang. The little guy has recently become obsessed with listening to stories, and always pesters Qiu Yan to tell stories before going to bed at night. As soon as she walked out of the store, she saw Shen Peng and Yang Xiaolei coming towards her, "What are you two going to do?" ”

"Hang out, it's Christmas Eve, it's very lively, here you go!" Shen Peng handed a basket of apples to Qiu Yan, "Put it in your car, take it back and eat it with Yangyang, and be safe." ”

Qiu Yan took the basket, took out two from it and handed them to Shen Peng, "You two eat one by one, and make up a safe and auspicious lottery." ”

Yang Xiaolei took out a tissue and wiped the apple casually and took a big bite, "Yan'er, don't go back, let's get together for a while, we haven't eaten together for a long time." ”

Qiu Yan: "Another day, Yangyang likes to listen to bedtime stories recently, and if I don't tell him, he won't sleep all the time." ”

Shen Peng: "Isn't there a nanny?" Let the babysitter tell him. If it doesn't work, you can buy him a smart toy, the kind that can sing and tell stories. ”

Qiu Yan: "Yangyang doesn't want to listen to the babysitter and the robot tell stories, saying that they are too short and boring. Well, I'll wait until he's asleep before coming out. ”

Yang Xiaolei: "Why don't you ask him to come out and play together, and there are no outsiders in the way." ”

Qiu Yan: "Okay, I'll call the nanny to send him over." Where to eat at night? ”

Shen Peng: "Of course, we go to our own restaurant and eat at ease." ”

Yang Xiaolei: "Hey, I'll go!" Didn't you say we'd do it ourselves? Don't do it again? ”

Shen Peng: "You called Yangyang over, how can Qiu Yan have the energy to cook for us?" ”

Qiu Yan: "What? You two don't want to invite me to dinner, you want me to be your cook!"

Shen Peng and Yang Xiaolei laughed, "Originally, Brother Peng said that he wanted to eat your cooking, and I also wanted to taste your craftsmanship." Brother Peng went to buy a fruit basket for me to lobby you, but I didn't expect him to suddenly have an idea again. ”

Shen Peng looked at the snow beside the tree embarrassedly, dodging Qiu Yan's inquiring gaze.

Qiu Yan: "Okay, I'll do it, don't blame me if it's not delicious." ”

Yang Xiaolei: "We are grateful if you can cook, how dare you be picky?" No matter how unpalatable Brother Peng is, he can eat honey, right, Brother Peng? ”

Shen Peng gave Yang Xiaolei a warning look, "Qiu Yan, you call first, and when Yangyang comes, you take him to the coffee shop to find us." ”

Qiu Yan nodded, looked at the backs of Shen Peng and Yang Xiaolei and dialed the phone at home, "Mom, where is Yangyang?" ”

Han Mu: "He's playing with Mingyu upstairs, do you want to call him down?" ”

"No need, he likes to play with Mingyu, so let them play. Is my sister here? ”

Mother Han: "Well, your sister wants to take Yangyang and Mingyu to the playground tomorrow weekend, so she came to pick him up." ”

"Oh. Mom, I'm not going home for dinner tonight, a few fellow villagers are having dinner. ”

Han's mother: "Okay. When it's cold and the road is slippery, you should be careful when driving. ”

Qiu Yan hung up Han's mother and walked towards the café.

Yang Xiaolei was checking the ingredients that You Hong had just bought from the supermarket, "Why do you buy so much?" That's enough for us to eat for a week. ”

You Hong: "You see how fresh it is, I bought some of everything when it looks good." Sister Yan is here, I'll take my things to the car first. ”

Yang Xiaolei watched You Hong walk to the car with a few bags, and said to Shen Peng, who was drinking tea: "The execution of safflower oil is really worry-free." Go to your house or to mine? ”

Shen Peng: "Go to your house, I don't have all the kitchen utensils there." ”

Yang Xiaolei: "It's true, do you always eat out and have kitchenware at home?" ”

Shen Peng ignored Xiao Lei, and looked at Qiu Yan and You Hong walking towards them after speaking, "What about Yangyang?" ”

Qiu Yan: "His aunt and brother went to the house, so I didn't let him come." ”

Yang Xiaolei: "Let's go." ”

Several people drove to Yang Xiaolei's house. Qiu Yan walked into the kitchen to tie her apron, and the other three people helped her choose vegetables, cut meat, and wash vegetables. Everyone was busy talking, laughing, and busy, and soon the dishes were cleaned up, and plates and pots were placed aside.

Qiu Yan: "You all go out and rest, I'll take care of the spoon." ”

Yang Xiaolei pulled You Hong out of the kitchen, but Shen Peng was still standing at the door of the kitchen watching. Qiu Yan glanced at him, "What are you doing stupidly?" Let's go watch TV. ”

"I'll wash the dishes and chopsticks. Leave me alone when you're busy, I just want to check it out here. Shen Peng took out a stack of plates from the cabinet below and began to wash them slowly.

Qiu Yan concentrated on stir-frying, ignoring Shen Peng. Shen Peng brought Qiu Yan's fried dishes to the table outside, and Yang Xiaolei unceremoniously grabbed a pair of chopsticks and gave a thumbs up, "It's delicious!" Yan'er's craftsmanship is really good! ”

Yuhong also picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, "Well, it's really delicious!" I went to learn a trade from my sister. ”

"Safflower oil, sit down for me!"

You Hong looked at Yang Xiaolei puzzled, "Don't you think I can't cook, why did I learn cooking with my sister and provoke you again?" ”

"The kitchen is so big, where do you go with such a big light bulb, how does Brother Peng behave?"

You Hong whispered: "Brother Peng still wants to behave?" Sister Yan can make him freeze with a single look, he is really boring to himself. ”

"Eat yours, be nosy." Yang Xiaolei listened attentively to the movement in the kitchen, only the sound of stir-frying, and no one spoke. He sighed in his heart, secretly anxious for Shen Peng.

Shen Peng was cutting shredded potatoes, and the skilled knife worker caught Qiu Yan's attention, "Are you good at knife work?" Do you know how to cook? ”

Shen Peng smiled: "Well, one year I was punished to the cooking class for violating discipline, and I took half a year's spoon. ”

Qiu Yan: "Then you can fry the remaining dishes, and I will also try your craftsmanship." ”

Shen Peng: "Okay, you look at what I'm not doing well, and give me some pointers." ”

Qiu Yan watched Shen Peng stir-fry quickly, much faster than her, "Okay, brother, no wonder you and Xiao Lei want to take the road of catering, if you can't hire a good chef, you can go on it yourself." ”

"You taste it before you boast." Shen Peng took out the braised carp, took a chopstick and looked at Qiu Yan, "Taste it." ”

Qiu Yan leaned over and ate the fish on the chopsticks, "Well, it's delicious!" ”

Shen Peng smiled: "I'll make you another dish that you used to love to eat." ”

"What dish?"

"Hot and sour shredded potatoes, didn't you love to eat them when you used to go to school?"

Qiu Yan sighed and said earnestly, "Brother, can you forget what happened to us before." I know what you mean, but I ......."

"Qiu Yan, I didn't want to force you to make a statement, I just wanted to pursue you again, don't worry, I won't embarrass you."

"It's hard for me to keep mentioning things from the past. Didn't you say yes? You be my brother! ”

"Okay, be your brother, come and taste it." Shen Peng grabbed a chopstick and shredded potatoes and wanted to feed them to Qiu Yan. Qiu Yan looked at him unhappily and didn't open his mouth. Shen Peng smiled: "After eating this bite, I won't feed it." Qiu Yan turned around and walked out of the kitchen. Shen Peng hurriedly turned off the natural gas and followed behind Qiu Yan at a loss.

Yang Xiaolei looked at the expressions of the two and hurriedly played a round, "Yan'er, your dish is at the level of a five-star chef, I haven't eaten this home-cooked taste for a long time." It's hard work, come and sit, pour a cup of tea for Yan'er with safflower oil, beat your shoulders and pinch your neck, and let Yan'er relax. ”

You Hong hurriedly did it one by one, Qiu Yan smiled and took her hand, "You sit down, I'm not tired." ”

Yang Xiaolei glanced at Shen Peng, Shen Peng was unmoved, and stood there stunned looking at Qiu Yan, Yang Xiaolei pulled him into the room, "What's wrong?" Failed to confess? ”

Shen Peng said distractedly: "She wasn't like this before. Do you say it's because she still has Han Fei in her heart? ”

Yang Xiaolei: "How long ago did you say it?" People will always change, and she is no longer your first love girl. I don't understand why you have to hang yourself from a tree! ”

"Xiao Lei, Brother Peng, come out to eat!" Yuhong shouted outside the door.

Yang Xiaolei responded, "Let's go, don't be discouraged, it may be because Yangyang is still young, and Yan'er is not in the mood to fall in love now." ”

Yang Xiaolei looked at the table of food and said with a smile: "Today, Brother Peng and I have successfully opened our seventh restaurant, everyone raise a glass to celebrate, and celebrate our hard work and success!" ”

The three of them all raised their wine glasses, Shen Peng looked at Qiu Yan, Qiu Yan smiled and took a sip of the wine in the glass, "Congratulations, congratulations, you two are really amazing at this speed, can you be busy?" ”

Yang Xiaolei: "It's busy." Brother Peng sees that your children's clothes are selling well, and he is ready to set up a playground after the year, we are looking for a place, and Yangyang can come and play for free at any time if he wants to play in the future. ”

……。

Shen Peng watched Qiu Yan and Yang Xiaolei talking lively, his face gradually softened, and he was unconsciously brought into the topic by Yang Xiaolei. Qiu Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked at Shen Peng, who was talking and laughing, and felt a lot relieved.
