on the dining table.

The atmosphere was quite lively.

Although there were two elders, Jiang Fu and Qi Wenjun, they were uncharacteristically kind.

did not entangle the various "rules" of the Jiang family as a scholarly family, and did not put the elders on the shelf in front of Jiang Li.

Qi Wenjun smiled gently throughout the whole process, and kept serving Jiang Li vegetables.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Jiang Li held the bowl and thanked him, but he felt that the atmosphere on the table was a little inexplicably strange, as if he had become the protagonist of this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Jiang Fu and Qi Wenjun, the two elders, are also the parents of Jiang Mingyi and Jiang Mingxuan.

But the two elders can be said to be ignorant of their two sons, but they are extremely enthusiastic about themselves.

That's a bit of a counterintuitive.

Not much.

In the meals on the table, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised fish and small crispy pork have bottomed out, among which Jiang Fu and Qi Wenjun are the main forces.

The rest of the meals were scattered and a few were eaten.

The spicy chicken that is a little charred and black, since Gu Qian "exposed", no one has ever sandwiched it......

"Isn't there enough food? Are pears full of pears? ”

Qi Wenjun looked at Jiang Li and asked kindly.

Her title has changed from "Xiao Jiang" at the beginning to "Pear Pear", and the title of "Mingshu" obviously can't be called yet.

"I'm full."

"Eat a little more."

Qi Wenjun said, and kicked her husband under the table: "Go to the kitchen to cook some more dishes, don't you have to finish eating without looking?" ”

Jiang Fu was kicked and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to make some more, and you can eat slowly." ”

said.

Jiang Fu got up.

Jiang Li hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle Jiang, you sit and eat, I'll go to the kitchen and cook a few more dishes." ”

She was a guest.

Originally, when there were elders, I was embarrassed that I didn't bring any gifts.

"This ......"

Jiang Fu hesitated.

Gu Qian got up with a smile and made a round: "Uncle Jiang, you sit and eat, and I'll accompany Lili to the kitchen to cook a few more dishes." ”

After speaking.

The two of them walked towards the kitchen.

The four people at the table looked at each other.

Qi Wenjun saw that Jiang Li and Gu Qian had already walked away, and he was very dissatisfied and kicked his husband again: "You didn't listen to you if you asked you to cook a few more dishes, now it's okay, Mingshu has to cook for us for the first time." ”

"It's not like I haven't cooked for too long, and a few dishes have been made and delayed a little time."

"Dad, Mom, you two were too 'courteous' just now......" Jiang Mingyi looked at his parents and complained helplessly.

"What's wrong?"

The two frowned slightly.

Jiang Mingyi glanced at the vacant seats between Jiang Li and Gu Qian, and explained with a helpless smile: "Dad, you have been asking Mingshu about her current family situation, and if you don't know, you still think that you are going to give your son a blind date." ”

Jiang Fu: "......"

After Jiang Mingyi finished speaking, his eyes looked at his mother again: "Mom, the dishes in Mingshu's bowl are piled up into a small mountain, and you have been picking up vegetables." ”

"What's wrong with eating a little more? You see it's skinny now. Qi Wenjun frowned slightly, very dissatisfied with his eldest son's words.

Jiang Mingxuan opened his mouth and whispered: "Sister Jiang Li is now an actress, and she has to keep in shape ......for filming."

"Staying in shape and not eating? Then don't eat it, and stand in the courtyard. ”

“……”

Jiang Mingxuan, who had no family status, silently shut up, buried his head in the bowl and just ate, without saying a word.

——

——

In the kitchen.

While preparing the croquettes, Jiang Li asked with some confusion: "Gu Qian, why are Brother Jiang's parents here too?" ”

"It's the New Year."

Gu Qian smiled and "explained": "Uncle and aunt may feel that it is boring to celebrate the New Year at home, so they came to reunite with their son." ”

Jiang Li nodded, agreeing with this statement, but her face still remained suspicious: "But when you were eating just now, didn't you feel a little weird?" ”

"What's weird?"

"My uncle and aunt seem to be very nice to me."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Nonsense."

Jiang Li glanced at Gu Qian, and said in a serious tone: "I'm just friends with Brother Jiang and Mingxuan, and my uncle and aunt have no reason to be so good to me." ”

"And my uncle and aunt kept asking me about my family situation and how I was doing over the years......"

"Speaking of the fact that we are together, do uncles and aunts know?"

Gu Qian nodded slightly, and his tone was firm: "I know." ”

"That's weird."

Jiang Li's mind was full of question marks, and she didn't understand what Jiang Fu and Qi Wenjun meant: "I always feel like my uncle and aunt are looking for a daughter-in-law for their son......"

"Ahem!"

Gu Qian choked on saliva, coughed awkwardly, and explained seriously: "This is just that you think too much." ”

"Really?"

"Well, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Qi are actually very good people, and we can be regarded as guests when we come to the door, this should be the Jiang family's hospitality."

"But ......"

"And Uncle Jiang and Aunt Qi have always wanted to have a daughter, but they gave birth to two sons, Jiang Mingyi and Jiang Mingxuan, maybe they treat you more favorably for this reason."

"That's right."

Jiang Li nodded, reluctantly accepted this set of arguments, and fished out the fried meatballs by herself.

Gu Qian stepped forward to help serve the bowl, and comforted in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, don't think about it so much, let's go back after eating." ”

"Uh-huh, okay."

Jiang Li nodded.

Not much.

One after another brand-new dishes were brought out by Jiang Li and Gu Qian, all of which were special dishes of City A, and there was a certain gap between them and the cuisine of Beijing.

"Uncle, aunt, these are all dishes from City A, I don't know if they suit your appetite, you can try them first."

Jiang Li said in a sweet voice.

In front of the elders she recognizes, she still looks like a good girl.

"Appetite, appetite."

Jiang Fu's face was already smiling.

Qi Wenjun usually only eats a little bit at night, but today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is not ready to stop until he is struggling.

It's a dish made by their daughter.

It's been 20 years, and for the first time, they have tasted their own daughter's food.

The craftsmanship is very good.

Jiang Fu and Qi Wenjun were eating, and their hearts were inexplicably a little sour.

The two of them are not stupid, and they can detect that Jiang Li's cooking skills are definitely not innate, but because of the skills that have been slowly honed by long-term cooking.

If Jiang Li grew up in the capital, it would definitely be impossible to master such cooking skills.

The eldest ladies of the Beijing family live an exquisite life of brocade clothes and jade food, and their fingers do not touch the spring water, and they may be very good at "elegant" things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they almost all will not dabble in cooking.

The dish was delicious.

But it also shows in disguise that the years since his daughter's disappearance have not been good.

"I'm full, go up first to breathe."

Qi Wenjun got up and walked straight towards the second floor.

There were some tears in her eyes unconsciously, and she didn't want Jiang Li to see it, so she could only find a reason to leave first.

"Auntie, she?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Jiang Fu explained with a smile: "Xiao Jiang's craftsmanship is too good, she ate a little too much just now, maybe she eats to go up to breathe, I'll take a look." ”

After speaking.

Jiang Fu got up and left.
