Chapter 23 A Small Family Banquet

Qi Shaoling only took half an hour off, so a few people didn't have to talk for a long time to arrive, but he made an appointment with Qin Ning to take her to his house to visit his mother this Sunday. Before leaving, the two determined the contact information and time, and separated from each other. When he got home that night, Qi Shaoling told his mother about meeting Qin Ning in the hotel, Qi Peiyun was also very surprised and even more happy, he didn't expect to be able to meet a familiar person here, and it was an acquaintance who he watched them grow up with.

On Sunday afternoon, Qi Shaoling took leave early and returned home, and it happened that Qi Peiyun was also free today and did not have to work overtime. Before going home, Qi Shaoling first bought some vegetables and beef in the market, as well as a Wuchang fish. He decided to show his hand in front of Qin Ning and let him taste his craft.

At around five o'clock, Qi Shaoling stood at the mouth of the alley and waited for Qin Ning's arrival. Not long after, a taxi stopped in front of Qi Shaoling, and after the door opened, two people walked down from inside, it was Qin Ning and her best friend Su Xiaoxiao. Qin Ning was wearing a set of pale pink printed women's dresses today, the skirt just covered her knees, and she was wearing a pair of travel shoes on her feet, and the pink skirt was printed with some lily patterns, which set off the elegant temperament of the whole person, which was extraordinary, coupled with her peerless appearance, Qi Shaoling was stunned. Qin Ning was holding a few fruits in his hand, standing there, a little embarrassed to be stared at by Qi Shaoling, he lowered his head with a slightly red face, and said nothing. Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao on the side stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Qi Shaoling's eyes and said, "Hey, hey, hey, haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman?"

Entering the small courtyard of the Qi family, Qin Ning saw Qi Peiyun standing at the door to greet them at a glance, she hurriedly stuffed the fruit bag in her hand into Qi Shaoling's hand, walked forward quickly and threw herself into Qi Peiyun's arms, sobbed in a low voice, and muttered in her mouth, "Aunt Qi, you have suffered, you want to kill me" Qi Peiyun was also a little choked, gently stroked Qin Ning's shoulder and said, "Auntie misses you too!" Seeing this, Qi Shaoling on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hey! I said that you two are strange, you haven't seen each other for so many years, you should be happy, why do you cry when you meet?" Su Xiaoxiao gave him two big free eyes and said, "What do you know, this is called crying with joy, it's really uneducated!" "As far as you are educated, hey, I don't seem to have invited some people to my house, why did some people come uninvited?" "You --- good you Qi Shaoling!" Su Xiaoxiao pointed to Qi Shaoling's nose and said angrily. You're still not a man, why are you so stingy like a woman, I still want to make friends with you! I knew you were so careful, I really wouldn't come!" "Okay, okay, you two don't pinch as soon as you meet, so that others can see it" Qin Ning raised his head from Qi Peiyun's arms and said to the two, "Xiaoxiao, we are guests, pay attention to your ladylike image!" As soon as the words fell, everyone laughed, and Su Xiaoxiao didn't continue to quarrel with Qi Shaoling.

While laughing, everyone walked into the house and entered Qi Peiyun's room. Qi Shaoling put the fruit in his hand aside, rolled up his sleeves and was about to go to work in the kitchen, Su Xiaoxiao on the side hurriedly followed up and asked, "Why are you going?" Qi Shaoling looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a strange look and said, "Cook, stir-fry, what! You two have finished dinner" "Of course I didn't eat, with you Chef Qi here, how can we eat outside, of course, we want to give you face and taste your craftsmanship!" Su Xiaoxiao said. "Well, they haven't seen each other for several years, how about you help me cook?" "Okay! But there's anything good to eat in your kitchen, I'm a little hungry!" "Of course there is, there is good beef jerky, or imported! "Do you eat it?" "I love beef jerky, take me there quickly." Su Xiaoxiao urged excitedly.

Qi Peiyun took Qin Ning's hand and sat on the sofa, Qi Peiyun opened his mouth and asked, "Ning Ning, how is your mother's body lately? "That's great, I think I and your mother were very good friends, it can be said that we talked about everything and fell in love, but I haven't seen it since the last goodbye, I really miss her!" "My mother often mentions you in front of me, saying that you have bothered a lot about her illness, and always want to find a chance to thank you, but since something happened to your family, there has been no news of you, but now it's okay, knowing that you are here, my parents will have the opportunity to come to see you in the future!" Don't be so troublesome, our mother and daughter are very good now! Shaoling has been learning to cook for a few years, which can be regarded as a small success, and I can also be a chef if I have the opportunity in the future, and when I become a family in the future, I can enjoy Qingfu!" laughed proudly after speaking.

Looking at Qi Peiyun's happy smile, Qin Ning also seemed to be infected, and laughed along. Hearing the laughter of the two, Su Xiaoxiao walked over from the kitchen, still chewing beef jerky in her mouth, and saw the two people laughing, with an inexplicable expression. In the midst of laughter, Qin Ning waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I chatted with my aunt to a happy place, and I couldn't help laughing, what's the matter? It's so noisy that you and Shaoling are talking?" "Qin Ning, what are you talking nonsense! I'm just fighting on the side, and by the way, I will mix some beef jerky to eat, hey, why don't you come and taste it too, it tastes really good!" Qin Ning waved his hand again and said, "No need, you can eat it yourself, it's not for me, I don't dare to be greedy." Su Xiaoxiao's face turned slightly red inexplicably, and said, "If you don't eat it, I'll ignore you," and left after speaking.

Looking at Su Xiaoxiao's departing back, Qi Peiyun nodded silently and said, "This girl is quite interesting, does she have a boyfriend?" Qin Ning said, "Not yet!" She has a high vision, ordinary boys can't get into her eyes at all, not to mention that the conditions of her family are very good, her father is a big developer, her mother is in charge of finances, and the family has money. There are many boys who want to make friends with her, she never has to look at those people squarely, but she is a very good person, she never hides her heart from her true friends, she is unforgiving, but Aunt Qi, I see that your Qi Shaoling is her nemesis, and I have never seen a boy who can make her deflated and she is not angry!" "Oh, so that's the case! That's a pity" Qi Peiyun said with some disappointment. "Auntie, what are you talking about, what's the pity?" Qin Ning asked with some surprise. "Ah, it's nothing, I mean Su Xiaoxiao's conditions are so good, it's a pity that she doesn't have a boyfriend now. "Hey, what kind of heart are you for her, what's the pity that she has no heart. ”

The two chatted with laughter and laughter, and unconsciously talked about the former Han family. Qi Peiyun asked, "How is Tianxiang now, are you still studying?" "Brother Tianxiang is also studying in college now, but it is in a city in the north, far away from here. I heard that he studied very hard and was able to get a full scholarship almost every semester, although the scholarship was of no practical value to him, and he was not short of money, but after all, it was an affirmation of his academic performance, and it was enough to show that he was excellent and extraordinary. Qi Peiyun nodded after listening, smiled with satisfaction and didn't say anything, just looked out the window a little distractedly. For a while, neither of them spoke in the room, and fell into silence, Qin Ning knew that Qi Peiyun still wanted to know the news about Han Yuanshan, so he said softly, "Aunt Qi, don't you want to know about Uncle Han?" Qi Peiyun was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "No need, so many years have passed, everyone has their own lives, and I don't want to know the news that has nothing to do with me!"

In the kitchen, Qi Shaoling was stir-frying. Su Xiaoxiao on the side was nominally doing something, but in fact she was stealing food, no, it should be said that she was eating openly, and she was eating it in front of Qi Shaoling. Almost every dish is fried, and she will pick up a piece of chopsticks and taste it. Seeing this scene, Qi Shaoling couldn't help but shout to her, "Hey, Su Xiaoxiao, are you here to help or to eat?" If you continue to eat like this, when the meal is served, will you still be able to eat it?" Su Xiaoxiao swallowed the food in her mouth and replied, "Aren't I checking for you! lest the food will be served for a while, and you will find that it is not delicious, then you will have no face! I am doing this for your good, besides, I can't reach out if you stir-fry the vegetables there, wow, I think I am still reluctant to be responsible for tasting the dishes!" Qi Shaoling couldn't help but cry and laugh when he heard this, this was obviously stealing food, and he said that it was good to be him, and he really didn't understand the world of foodies.

It didn't take long for Su Xiaoxiao to shout in the kitchen, "It's time to eat, put the table, take the dishes and chopsticks!" Later, he walked into the house with two plates of dishes, put them down and returned to the kitchen, and when he came back, he served two more dishes, and finally walked into the house with Qi Shaoling one after the other, and put the dishes in his hands on the table. Qin Ning stepped forward to take a look, heh, the good guy has eight dishes, and all of them are full of color, aroma, and taste, and he has an appetite when he looks at it, and thinks: This Su Xiaoxiao doesn't look at Qi Shaoling, can you eat so much? Qi Shaoling washed his hands, took a few bottles of juice and four cups from the table next to him and put them on the table, opened the lid and poured juice into each cup, raised the glass and said" For the sake of our reunion with Sister Qin Ning, and at the same time to be able to meet Su Xiaoxiao, and for the sake of all of us to be healthy and happy, today I will replace the wine with juice, toast everyone, come, do ------。 ”
