Chapter 123: Meet the Parents 3
"Then I'm blessed," Lu Anming smiled.
"Do you still have relatives in your hometown?" After chatting about trivial matters for a long time, Dad Yan changed the topic and finally got to the point.
"Yes, my family and my second aunt's family have moved to the city, and the two uncles and aunts are still in their hometown in the countryside, and they are usually busy and have few contacts." Lu Anming raised his hand to pick up an orange in the fruit bowl and peeled the orange as he spoke.
Ugly oranges, big, look not as good as ordinary oranges, but they taste watery and sweet. The slender fingers waved up and down on the orange coat, and after a while, it was peeled off and naturally handed to Yan Muqing next to him. Mu Qing was not polite, he took it, broke half of it, and handed the other half to Lu Anming.
"Go back for the New Year's holidays, your parents are usually quite busy with a fruit shop, right?"
Father Yan watched Lu Anming's action of peeling and handing oranges, naturally not deliberately, and his heart became more and more satisfied.
Lu Anming ate the other half of the oranges handed by Yan Muqing, his heart was not as nervous as when he just entered the door, and he talked about his own affairs eloquently.
"I'll be busy during the holidays, but most of them are my mom busy, and my dad is busy when he unloads, and he usually has a lot of entertainment outside, and he is not much in the store."
"It's normal for men to socialize more, but your mother is hard, it's not easy"
"My mother is okay in the store, it's just that someone is here, weigh the weight, collect a money or something, the stall owners on the side know my father, and they can also take a hand if they have something" Speaking of his father, Lu Anming's pride in his words was difficult to hide.
"Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and it is not easy for your parents. How is your current unit? Compared with the situation of his parents, Father Yan still knows more about his own situation.
"Our unit is also a new energy piece" Lu Anming didn't say much, I don't know if it's taking into account trade secrets or what?
"Now this is also a general trend, we ordinary people don't understand these things, at most they know new energy vehicles, wind power generation and the like. So you're a skilled worker? ”
"It's not really, I'm just in charge of statistics, after I was discharged from the army, my dad also sent it to me, we didn't learn this major, and I really can't do technical work, but over the years, I still know a little bit" Lu Anming didn't say too much about his unit, and unconsciously pulled the topic to Lu's father.
"Then your father's ability is not small, it will be difficult to enter the local enterprises and institutions, I can send you to the imperial capital, I don't know how much effort it takes, but you have to cherish this opportunity"
Father Yan chatted with Lu Anming here, and he also had a general understanding of Lu Anming in his heart.
What they said, Lu Anming had already told Yan Muqing, and she was not interested in listening to it a second time, so she turned on the TV and watched it with relish.
Kitchen.
"Mom, do you see enough garlic peeling?" Yan Aiqing sat on the small bench, burying her head in peeling garlic, and there was already half a bowl in the small bowl next to her.
"Enough, enough," Yan's mother glanced at Yiyan.
"Mom, you said that this time flies so fast, I always feel that my sister and I went up the tree to dig the bird's nest together or it happened yesterday, today my sister brought her boyfriend to meet her parents, pinch me, see if I'm dreaming"
Yan Aiqing's interest is not high, Yan's mother said enough, he didn't pay attention to it, and buried his head, fighting against the small half of garlic in his hand, and I don't know why, this clove of garlic is particularly difficult to peel.
"Silly boy, people will grow up, we will also grow old, how can there be children who don't grow up and parents who won't grow old, otherwise how can society develop, the earth is not crowded, what is there to be stupid?"
Mother Yan looked at her depressed son, why didn't she think so in her heart? When the girl has no object, the whole family staged a fancy urging marriage, which has an object, and a little reluctant, when I see my parents, I am not far from getting married, and my girl has become someone else's family, almost 30 years, if there is suddenly such a person missing, my heart is empty.
Yan Muqing also enlightened her, saying that she usually has less time at home, and when she gets married, she will go out to work, and she will still come back in the future, right? But, can that be the same? It used to be the weekend festival
Father and Mother Yan will count the days on the holiday, and the children will come back from the holiday in a few days... It will be different in the future, there will also be holidays, but when people come back, they will stay for a while, and in the end they will go back to their own small home.
Children become adults, become adults, and start families, step by step, they will eventually get farther and farther away from them...
However, having said that, the happiness of children is also their greatest wish.
"Mom, which Lu Anming do you say is really suitable for my sister? I always see him as a bit lewd and not suitable for my sister."
After struggling for a long time, it was finally the small garlic clove that was done, and it was gently thrown into a small bowl.
"Where is this, it's always your sister who has been in contact with her for a long time, if there is no place to impress your sister, do you think your sister can easily bring people home?"
Mother Yan's hand rose and fell, "Dangdang" sounded, and after a while, a plate of shredded potatoes was cut.
"Maybe you are forced to get married, and my sister also thinks that she is old, so she found such a person without taking a good look?"
Yan Aiqing washed the garlic cloves in the bowl, and the faucet water was "swishing" loudly, and he muttered in a small voice, and Yan's mother didn't hear it clearly.
"What do you say?"
"It's nothing, take a good look at this person, of course it's best to treat my sister well, I can't spare him if I dare to bully someone"
After speaking, he put the washed garlic on the operating table, and stood aside to watch Yan's mother skillfully chop vegetables.
"Do you think your sister can let her bully?" I still know my daughter Yan's mother very well, since she was a young boy, it is impossible to be bullied. This is the reason why she and Yan's father have always been very relieved that Yan Muqing is out alone.
"Alas, women in love have negative IQs, don't talk too much..."
I have to say that this sentence really made Yan Aiqing right.
"You hope your sister has a little bit," Yan's mother glanced at him, and continued, "Get up from the cellar outside, take two carrots, mix a cold dish, and wait for the elbows to be cooked." ”
"Okay"
Yan Aiqing didn't say anything more, accepted her mother's instructions, and turned around and went out.
The red flame on the gas stove was beating slightly, and the pot made a "gurgling" sound, and the smell of hot gas and stewed meat came out of it along the gap in the lid, hovered around the pot, and was suddenly sucked away by the range hood, and floated out of the house along the pipe...
An inaudible sigh flowed from Yan's mother's mouth.
The unspeakable emotions in my heart, my daughter has a good object, and it seems to be good to her at the moment, and the big stone in my heart is finally half put down. sighed because the woman was not staying, and her daughter was going to become someone else's family...
"It's time to eat!"
Yan Aiqing pushed open the door of the living room and shouted into the house.
The three of them who had been chatting for a long time in the living room were silent for a while, watching TV intently. Hearing Yan Aiqing's shout, they all looked at the big boy at the door.
Yan Aiqing's hair is a little long, her bangs cover her eyes, the hair on the top of her head is permed into the popular scumbag curls, her nose is a little red from the cold, and there is a red mark on each side of her cheeks. There is also a chicken feather thing standing on the top of the head, this image, forehead, has no image at all, and it is funny and ruthless.
"Did you go to the chicken coop?" Yan Muqing walked towards him as she spoke, tiptoed, and reached out to take off the chicken feathers from her hair.
"You're just drilling...", the rebuttal didn't come out, looking at the chicken feathers in Yan Muqing's hand, he suddenly understood that he must have just stuck the carrot when he took it.
"Hehe, is there anything else, show me quickly" said and lowered his head, so that Yan Muqing could choose his hair.
"No, what are you doing?" Looking at the funny brother, Yan Muqing laughed unconsciously.
"Hey, I went to the vegetable garden just now, it must have been stuck at that time, look at the snow on my foot" After speaking, he stomped twice hard.
"Let's go, let's wash our hands and eat" After speaking, he turned around and went out, and after walking two steps, he stopped and slapped his clothes again, and stroked his hair by the way, before continuing to walk towards the kitchen.
"Heh,
This brother still cares a lot about his image" Lu Anming stood beside Yan Muqing, looking at the interaction between his sister and brother just now, and was a little envious.
"It's stinky!" After Yan Muqing finished speaking, he turned to look at his father and said, "Dad, let's eat!" ”
"Let's go, you take Xiao Lu to wash your hands, I'll come" Seeing Yan Muqing nodding, he took Lu Anming to the kitchen, and then turned around and went to the West House, he must have taken the wine.
"It smells so good!"
Lu Anming entered the house, smelled the aroma of food in the air, and said sincerely.
"I'll just cook some home-cooked food, Xiao Lu don't dislike it" Hearing other people's affirmation, Yan's mother was very happy, wiped her hands on her apron a little nervously, and let the two people at the door into the house.
"Let's wash our hands first" Yan Muqing guided Lu Anming to the sink on one side, adjusting the temperature of the water to facilitate Lu Anming's hand washing.
"I'll come by myself, uncle hasn't come yet?"
In fact, Lu Anming is a little afraid of Yan's father, partly because he is Yan Muqing's father, and partly because of the eyes that seem to be able to see through all lies.
"You must have taken the wine, you wash your hands first, and you'll be here in a while" Yan Muqing finished speaking, helping her mother and bringing the fish head tofu soup to the table.
The meal was quite hearty.
In the middle is a ruddy stewed elbow, the reason why it has just come out of the pot is still steaming, and before you eat it and smell the taste, it arouses a strong appetite, and it looks just right.
Next to it is sweet and sour carp, a cross knife cut on the back of the fish, which is fried before going into the pan, and then cooked after frying crispy, so as to maintain the overall shape of the carp and not easy to cook.
There is also Yan Muqing's favorite mother's stewed chicken thigh, not to mention the taste, from snacks to big, for so many years, my favorite is this dish.
Stir-fried vegetables, bell peppers, lilies, and celery are stir-fried together, and the red, yellow, and green are mixed together, and the visual impact is very strong, and the taste is definitely not traceable.
There is also Yan's father's favorite vinegared shredded potatoes, a cold dish, plus a fish head tofu soup, a full table.
Yan's father came in from outside the house with two bottles of wine, Yan's mother also took off her apron, and the five of them were all sitting at the table at this time. Father Yan sat in the main seat, with Mother Yan on the left, Yan Muqing next to him, and then Lu Anming and Yan Aiqing.
Yan Aiqing took the initiative to take the wine bottle and pour the wine.
"He doesn't drink much, come less" When pouring wine for Lu Anming, Yan Muqing said. Usually, Lu Anming drinks some beer, two bottles at most, and even less liquor.
"Don't worry about this, this is our brother's business" At this time, Yan Aiqing was energetic.
"I'm not married yet, so you're in charge of other people..."
"It's okay, I'm happy today, I'll drink less" The future brother-in-law poured wine, and Lu Anming naturally didn't dare to refuse.
"Drink less," Father Yan also said on the side.
"Okay, okay" Seeing that my father said this, Yan Muqing didn't say anything.
For a while, the laughter of the crowd and the sound of persuading wine and food became lively with the aroma of the meal.
Lu Anming's smile at this time was from the heart, the liveliness of the Yan family was completely different from the Lu family, this may be the real taste of the family...
"Xiao Lu, I heard Qingqing say that you like to eat elbows, I specially stewed it, you taste it, you're welcome" Yan's mother used chopsticks to sandwich a large piece of elbow meat for Lu Anming and put it on a small plate in front of Lu Anming.
"Mmmm, thank you, Auntie" Lu Anming hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up the plate, and turned out to be the elbow meat that Yan's mother had sandwiched.
"Mom, don't let me, you can eat whatever you want" Yan Muqing looked at her enthusiastic mother and was a little unaccustomed.
"Okay, okay, isn't this the first time Xiao Lu has come to me and I'm afraid of neglecting him, then you just take care of it" Yan's mother replied with a smile.
"It's okay Auntie, I don't recognize life. But your craft is really not covered" Lu Anming chewed the elbow that Yan's mother had sandwiched, the meat stew was very bad, it melted in the mouth, and the meat skin stew was also very delicious, and it was very chewy in the mouth, and a large piece was eliminated in two clicks.
"It's delicious"
