Chapter 040: Laughing and enmity
Shu Wan returned to Donglin County half a day early, with a large number of ingredients in the trunk.
Aunt Tong heard the sound of the car, came out of the house, and said in surprise: "Miss, why didn't you hear from your wife, you came back today?" Eating at home? I'll go buy some groceries. ”
"Aunt Tong, you're busy with you, I'll make dinner." Shu Wan said with a smile. She pulled out the fresh ingredients she had just purchased from the trunk.
Aunt Tong followed her into the kitchen, wondering, "Miss, will the wife and the master have an opinion?" ”
"Aunt Tong, don't worry. It's too late for them to rejoice. Shu Wan said.
She said as she took out her apron and mask and put them on.
Aunt Tong glanced at her silently and did not speak. This person who wears a mask in the kitchen can only be done by Shu Wan.
"Aunt Tong, you go out. I'll just do it alone. I don't like people to give me a hand. Shu Wan replied.
Aunt Tong answered, and the person was still standing aside. Seeing Shu Wan skillfully washing and cutting, she went out of the kitchen door.
Shu Wan worked alone in the kitchen all afternoon. When Qi Tong came to see her, she was filling some of the braised pork trotters, braised tofu, and pumpkin cheese shortbread into a warm lunch box. These three dishes are exquisite, braised pork trotters are Qi Bo's favorite food, braised tofu is Qi Tong's favorite food, and pumpkin cheese shortbread is Ding Wei's favorite food.
Qi Tong saw that the kitchen also prepared two other hard dishes, gourd chicken and pan-fried hairtail. The rest is three vegetarian dishes, yam fungus, king oyster mushrooms in sauce, and garlic broccoli, all of which have been cut and put on a plate, just waiting to be eaten before being put into the pot. These dishes are all Ding Xiang and Shu Zhihua's favorite food.
"Wife, you've worked hard." Qi Tong said gratefully. He didn't expect that Shu Wan would cook by himself, especially if he was still pregnant.
Shu Wan handed the lunch box to Qi Tong, ran out of the kitchen by himself, took off his mask and panted loudly.
Aunt Tong frowned slightly. She hadn't heard that Shu Wan couldn't smell the smell of oily smoke. She glanced at Shu Wan's stomach and didn't say anything.
"Aunt Tong, the three vegetarian dishes are waiting for my parents to come back, please cook again." I'm going to have dinner at Qi Tong's house today. Shu Wan said.
Aunt Tong smiled and said, "Miss, look at your politeness." Today, the lord and the wife must be happy. ”
Shu Wan smiled, followed Qi Tong out, and went to Qi Tong's house.
This is Shu Wan's first time coming to Qi Tong's parents' house. Before, they were all at Qitong's grandparents' house.
Qi Tong's home is both atmospheric and warm. It can be seen that the person who decorated the room put a lot of thought into it. From the style and material of the furniture, to the cushions of the sofa and the cushions of the cups, they are all exquisite and beautiful, with both the gentleness of women and the toughness of men.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard the sound of stir-frying in the kitchen.
Zibo sat in the living room reading a newspaper. Seeing Shu Wan, he put the newspaper aside, nodded and said, "Shu Wan, come and sit." Don't be inhibited, it's like your own home. ”
The last time he and Shu Wan saw him, they looked a lot haggard.
"Okay." Shu Wan nodded.
Qi Tong brought the lunch box into the kitchen, exchanged a few words with his mother, and came out. As soon as he came out of the kitchen, he heard his father say, "Shu Wan, how do I think you have lost weight?" Listen to Xiaotong, you have been promoted. It's stressful at work, isn't it? ”
Shu Wan replied: "Work is secondary. The main reason is that I haven't been able to eat much lately. ”
Qi Tong stumbled and almost fell.
Qi Bo looked at the same and said, "It's still hot these days. Autumn Tiger. It's good to get through this time. When it's colder, your appetite will be a little better. ”
Shu Wan smiled slightly and did not answer.
After a while, Ding Wei began to serve dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen to the table.
Shu Wan got up and wanted to go over to help.
Qi Tong pressed her onto the sofa and said, "You sit, I'll come." ”
Qi Bo smiled and said, "My stupid son really feels sorry for his daughter-in-law." ”
Ding Wei's eyes were complaining, and he glanced at Qi Bo.
Shu Wan said with a smile: "Listening to Qi Tong, this is our family's genetics. Grandpa loves grandma, and dad, you also love mom. ”
This "father, mother" made the three members of the Qi family stunned.
Qi Bo coughed dryly and did not answer.
Shu Wan said: "In my house before, I was very envious when I saw your family happy. I really wanted to get along with my parents, but I couldn't say a word before I got up. I myself was very upset afterwards. Later, Qi Tong told me that my mother had postpartum depression after giving birth to me. I was relieved all at once. ”
Qi Bo sighed and said, "I have also heard about your family. It's also a hurdle in life. ”
"yes. In this life, how can there be no hurdles and disasters. It is more important than anything else that a family is safe and harmonious together. Shu Wan said with emotion.
She didn't wait for Qi Bo to react, so she continued: "Dad, are you familiar with Tong Qibai's parents?" ”
Qi Bo was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know their family very well. Your mother, that is, Xiaotong's mother, is familiar with their family. ”
"What is your impression of their family?"
"They are a family of three, and the relationship is very good. I haven't seen them blush for anything, and everything is negotiable. I heard that Tong Qibai delayed getting married because he wanted to find a woman like his mother. That's too much to ask. Zibo thought for a moment and replied.
Shu Wan let out an "oh" and said, "Our unit has a project that needs to be introduced from outside. Tong Qibai has an investment company. So I've been in contact with him lately. I think that if the family relationship is good, the parents are loving, the father is kind and filial, and there is something to say, then the children who grow up from it should be no worse. ”
Qi Bo nodded and said, "That's right." Parents have a great influence on their children, and they learn from each other. What kind of project are you guys? Why do we need to bring in outside capital? ”
Shu Wan replied: "We have always studied Western medicine. Recently, preparations are underway for the establishment of a Chinese medicine research and development office. ”
"It's a good thing to study Chinese medicine. The things of our ancestors must not be forgotten. How long has Western medicine been on the rise? Our traditional Chinese medicine has a tradition of thousands of years. Your mother knows several old Chinese medicine doctors, and she will ask her to introduce you to you. Zibo said.
After saying this, he was distracted for two seconds. Since Ding Wei married him, he has never been worried about family affairs anymore. The growth of her son, the body of her parents, the relationship between the family, everything, she handled it properly. She is a good daughter-in-law who can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen. Including these days, she has been under so much pressure, but she has never lost her temper with herself, nor has she slacked off for a day.
"That's a good idea!" Shu Wan replied.
Sitting at the table, Qi Bo took the initiative to say, "Ding Wei, don't you know several old Chinese medicine doctors?" Introduce to Shu Wan later. Their unit is about to study Chinese medicine. ”
This is the first time in these days that Qi Bo has taken the initiative to talk to Ding Wei.
Ding Wei's eyes were wet and he secretly wiped his tears. She squeezed out a laugh and said, "Okay." Wan, when do you have time, contact me. I'll take you there. ”
"Mom, I'm sorry for you." Shu Wan said that the call was quite natural. This is the result of her practicing secretly in front of the mirror at home for a long time.
Ding Wei smiled and said, "No trouble, no trouble." ”
Qi Tongle was happy, and deliberately teased: "Wan, it's a bit of a loss for you to be called now." My parents haven't even paid for the change of mouth. ”
"What kind of change fee does not change the mouth fee. I also have to give my parents a red envelope for raising a child. Shu Wan said with a smile.
Everyone laughed.
During the meal, Shu Wan picked up the water cup and said, "Dad, Mom, today is a good day, and I have received the certificate with Qitong." It was supposed to have a drink. But I wasn't feeling well, so I had to replace the wine with tea. I wish our family of five, harmony and beauty. ”
Qi Bo was still counting with his fingers, and Ding Wei was a thief, and he reacted at once. She was pleasantly surprised: "Wan, is it really fake?!" ”
Shu Wan touched his stomach and said, "It's been a few weeks." I wanted to keep it hidden, but I just got promoted, and I'm afraid you will persuade me to resign. I've been thinking about this lately and figured it out. We will be a family in the future, and we must fully communicate with each other. ”
"Wan, you're right to think so. If you want to go to work, go ahead. Just don't tire yourself out. Is there anything I and your dad and I can do to help, just ask. We are a few years older than you, and we know more things and people than you do. A lot of things, we will come forward to make it much simpler. Ding Weixi couldn't help but be happy.
"Hmm. Okay, Mom, then I won't be polite to you from now on. Shu Wan replied.
Ding Wei smiled and said, "Silly boy, it's all a family, what's polite." Where are you going to have a prenatal checkup? I know an obstetrician and gynecologist in the province of women and children, and the level is very good. Why don't you go to her for a prenatal checkup? ”
"Okay. Mom, I don't know any of this, you can arrange it for me. Shu Wan replied.
Ding Wei said: "Okay. Don't bother me then. It is said that the next generation is pro-generational, and it is true. Just thinking about it now, I feel excited. Wan, you eat more. Look at you, you're all thin. ”
Without waiting for Shu Wan to speak, Qi Tong opened his mouth and said, "Mom, my wife is pregnant, don't mention the word 'eat'." You see, she's starting to react again. ”
Shu Wan covered his mouth and stood up and ran out.
Ding Wei said distressedly: "What about cooking when you are pregnant?" Shu Wan, this kid really has a heart. ”
After eating, she sat and chatted for a while, and Qi Tong saw that Shu Wan was not in good spirits and urged her to go home.
Ding Wei came out of the bedroom, sealed two big red envelopes to Shu Wan, and said, "Wan, your 'parents' must not be called in vain." Your dad and I are a hundred satisfied with you. What about the two of us, I used to misunderstand you, and it was my mother's fault. Mom apologizes to you. ”
Shu Wan smiled and said, "Mom, look at what you said." It's time for me to apologize to you. I don't care if I don't care about it, I will definitely make you feel aggrieved. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, which was regarded as a smile of enmity.
Shu Wan took the red envelope and put it in the bag, took out another red envelope from the bag, and said, "Mom, this is my filial piety to you and Dad." A little heart, not respect. Thank you for teaching Qi Tong so well. If it weren't for Qi Tong, my relationship with my parents would still be a mess. I now have you and my parents, and I have a baby. My life is very content. ”
