Niu Xiuguo's cooking is still very rare, because I know that Niu Xiuguo is not a material to enter the kitchen, when he didn't know my mother before, three meals a day, generally dealt with casually, except for the lunch is eaten in the unit, the other two meals in the morning and evening, he eats when he remembers, and simply doesn't eat if he doesn't remember, so he also developed a chronic stomach disease.

At this time, I smelled a burst of vegetable fragrance wafting out of the kitchen, after Niu Xiuguo moved out of the spring bamboo shoots roast pork and Chinese cabbage, he took off his apron and said: "You go in and talk to your mother, I haven't eaten dinner yet, I'll go to the market outside to buy some cooked food." ”

"It's so late, is there any cooked food?" I said.

At this time, Zhao Xiwen said: "You go and help the county magistrate Niu, and I will accompany your mother." ”

As soon as I heard this, my heart became worried, and I said, "That ......"

"Okay, you go out......" Zhao Xiwen pushed me and Niu Xiuguo to leave the house together, but at this time Niu Xiuguo looked at me and smiled, the relationship between the two of us is also very delicate, a little bit of family affection, and a bit of a friend, anyway, I can't say it very clearly.

Niu Xiuguo said: "It seems that you will also be a master who is afraid of his wife in the future, but your mother's mouth is a little sharper, and when she came back just now, she almost cried, saying that your elbow turned out, and you are not married yet." ”

"Actually, Uncle Niu, you also know that I am also in a dilemma, one is my mother, and the other is Wenwen, how do you let me face it......" I shook my head and sighed.

"It's okay, these are all small entanglements, which men will encounter, and in this world, is there anything more delicate than the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? I see that your girlfriend is a very sensible person, maybe let her talk to your mother, and everything will be fine. Niu Xiuguo said, and we were chatting all the way, talking about the recent situation in Mawang County, Niu Xiuguo was also very happy, after all, with my investment at that time, now Mawang County is stepping towards the road of economic construction.

It's just that Niu Xiuguo told me that the above things are very difficult to deal with recently, after all, Mawang County is also under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou City, and the party committee has a rule that all people who are in politics cannot do business with their families.

Niu Xiuguo said that he was not afraid of being dismissed or something, after all, in this way, he ended up idle, because with my mother, both of them are still young, and they can take advantage of this period of time to go out for a trip, but what makes him quite uncomfortable is that the order above is like a fishing rod, fishing them, so that they can't go up or down, and they are twisted.

I smiled and said: "Uncle Niu, don't care, I think it should be that the people above also think that you have always been trembling and loyal to your profession, so you are not willing to cut off your position, and now Mawang County is under your governance, the social organization has almost disappeared, and the GDP has also risen several grades, you see that now many people have come to invest in our land, so that a large number of factories have been built, and the beneficiaries are the people of Mawang County, and everyone has jobs. We all have food, it's much better than those regulations, we pay attention to reality, don't we?! ”

Niu Xiuguo laughed, he said: "I'll tell your mother, your son is definitely a good talent, his horizons are so broad, if you go to take the civil service exam in the future, and then honestly serve the name, I think your career is also very broad!" ”

"Don't, I don't like to be an official, it's too tiring to be an official!" I waved my hand and smiled.

At this time, we have come to the vegetable market, bought a pair of pig ears, a roast rabbit, and some sauce duck and cold vegetarian dishes, Niu Xiuguo specially went to buy half a catty of braised tofu, saying that my mother loves to eat, I looked at the busy Niu Xiuguo, and my heart was also very happy, after all, Niu Xiuguo was really good to my mother, so that my mother was radiant and looked several years younger.

Niu Xiuguo asked, "Do you drink?" ”

"It's better to say goodbye, I'm afraid we have to say a lot of things at the table today, I drank too much wine, and I was afraid of making a mistake." I said.

Niu Xiuguo smiled, bought a bottle of rice wine and said: "Yes, then have a rice wine, I will heat it on the gas stove when I go back, it is very energetic, and the alcohol is not high, and the sweet can be drunk as a drink." ”

I smiled and said, "That's fine." Hurriedly opened the cigarette case and handed Niu Xiuguo a cigarette.

And Niu Xiuguo saw the cigarette in my hand, and his eyes lit up and said: "It seems that the kid is mixing well in Xuzhou, and he is smoking Nanjing." ”

"Everywhere, it's all thanks to Uncle Niu." I said politely, when we returned home at this time, we found that the development of things had far exceeded my expectations, and Zhao Xiwen was sitting on the sofa with my mother, and there was a variety show on the TV, but my mother and Zhao Xiwen were talking and laughing, but when they saw me coming back, my mother's face turned up again.

Niu Xiuguo coughed and said, "Come on, come on, eat and eat!" It's past six o'clock, and the family finally gets together! ”

My index finger moved, after all, I was still looking forward to Uncle Niu's cooking skills, and my mother sat with Zhao Xiwen, Zhao Xiwen smiled at me, as if the haze in my heart had long been swept away.

My mother ate a piece of meat and said: "This meat is too old, didn't the old cow tell you, when you roast the meat, put some cooking wine first, so that the meat can taste fresher, and then remember to thicken it with starch halfway through, so that the soup is mixed with the bamboo shoots and fragrant very delicious!" ”

Uncle Niu hurriedly smiled: "Haha, don't you know, I saw the meat churning in the oil pot, and I forgot about it at that time!" And how can I cook like you......"

My mother glanced at Uncle Niu with disgust, and she said, "It seems that I still have to come to this cooking job!" ”

Saying that, I bought a piece of big flesh and bone for Zhao Xiwen, and Zhao Xiwen said with a smile: "Thank you, Auntie." ”

"You're all on your own, you're welcome." My mom said happily.

But then, I was confused, and I said, "What's going on?" ”

"Secret!" My mother and Zhao Xiwen actually spoke at the same time, and I don't know what happened to the two of them in this half an hour.

But to be able to see them living in peace, naturally this is better than anything else, and Uncle Niu is also very lively, I hurriedly poured him wine, after all, he is still my stepfather no matter what, and he is also very interesting to me, I immediately clinked glasses to him.

Just drinking and drinking, suddenly my mother's eyes were red, and she burst into tears, and I hurriedly said, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's not that I blame you, if you and Xiwen came back during the New Year, would I still be so angry? No matter what, I'm just your son! You...... I really don't know, during the Chinese New Year, I prepared a whole table of dishes with your Uncle Niu, what chicken, duck and fish everything, and waited from six o'clock in the afternoon until ten o'clock in the evening......"

My mom sighed.

I said very guiltily: "Mom, I'm sorry, it's all my fault......"

"Okay, since you and Xiwen have finally gone home this time, Mom doesn't ask you for anything, just wants you to live a harmonious life...... It's better to control your own happiness! My mom wiped her tears and said.

And Zhao Xiwen hurriedly rubbed my mother's back.

I pinched some pig ears into my mother's bowl, and my mother made a look with Uncle Niu, at this time Uncle Niu suddenly realized, and immediately went to the room and took out two red envelopes, one each for him and my mother, and stuffed them to Xiwen together.

Xiwen was also stunned, and my mother held Xiwen's hand and said: "In the future, my son who is not angry will be entrusted to you, although this money is not much, but I will be ready to give you the New Year's money from the New Year, after all, we are parents-in-law, we must have this meaning!" ”

Xiwen's body trembled with excitement, she nodded with a crying voice, and said, "Thank you......"

At this time, our family of four looked at each other, and the happiness in our hearts also improved......
