Chapter Forty-Nine: Returning to the Door
Last night, Zhang Haibo was full of thoughts.
He also wanted to turn around and hold Angel in his arms.
But the black leather shoes and blue trousers made him dispel the idea.
The two were back to back, each thinking about their own thoughts.
After the knock on the door, Zhang Xiaoqian shouted outside the door,
"Dad, Mom, you can't get up yet, I'm hungry."
Zhang Haibo opened his eyes and looked, "Ah! It's eight o'clock. ”
Angel didn't answer, she didn't move.
Zhang Haibo took out the dishes in the steamer, he ordered the noodles, and poured the chili lean meat that Anqi fried last night into the pot.
"Dad, this noodle is delicious", Zhang Xiaoqian ate with relish.
"This is called embarrassment", Zhang Haibo opened his mouth.
I don't think it's appropriate, "It doesn't matter what kind of noodles it is, it's delicious."
"Sissi, learn to wash the dishes, I'll give you a red envelope when I come back from grocery shopping", Zhang Haibo wants his little daughter to learn to be self-reliant.
"Really, Daddy won't lie to me"? Zhang Xiaoqian's tone was suspicious.
"Pull Hook"! Zhang Haibo stretched out his little finger.
"Hanging for a hundred years is not allowed to change", Zhang Xiaoqian also stretched out her little finger and hooked Zhang Haibo's little finger.
"If it changes, it's Zhu Bajie", Zhang Haibo followed Qian Qian's words and said the next sentence.
"Yay! Deal"! Zhang Xiaoqian cleaned up the table, "Dad, you watch me wash, you teach me where it's wrong."
“OK”! Zhang Haibo gestured to his daughter.
Humming a little song, he took the old hen out of the fridge.
Angel also got up, "Huh? How he seems to be a different person today."
Her mood also improved.
"Sissi, wait and go grocery shopping with Dad", Zhang Haibo chopped the chicken nuggets and said to Xiao Qian, who was washing the dishes next to him.
"Okay, Dad, sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman", Zhang Xiaoqian said that it was not a very appropriate quotation.
"Give! Red envelope", Zhang Haibo and his daughter went down the stairs.
"Daddy, true gentleman. As soon as the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase"! Zhang Xiaoqian gave a thumbs up at the same time.
"Lao Zhang, what a blessing! I just married my eldest daughter, and my youngest daughter is with me again"! Downstairs, Uncle Wang said to the oncoming father and daughter.
"Don't they all say that my daughter is a little padded jacket"! Zhang Haibo took Xiao Qian's little hand and replied to Uncle Wang's words.
In the market, there are more people shopping.
Zhang Haibo came to Li Duojin's stall.
Li Duojin was busy chopping meat for others.
"Lao Li, help me weigh this rib", Zhang Haibo didn't want to call his in-laws, but he didn't really recognize it in his heart.
"Okay! Right away, right away", Li Duojin was busy collecting money.
"Six and a half pounds", Li Duojin did not weigh the scales.
Li Duojin cut it and handed it to Zhang Haibo, "Old Zhang, the ribs are five yuan a catty." A total of thirty yuan, half a catty is counted. Nor is it an outsider".
"Oops, thank you Lao Li"! Zhang Haibo also felt a little embarrassed.
In his heart, Li Duojin is the first time that he has not lost a scale.
When the father and daughter returned home, Angel was also busy doing laundry.
The old hen soup in the casserole is bubbling out with a hint of aroma.
"Dad, what a fragrant chicken soup"! Zhang Xiaoqian sniffed.
"Phew! Bang! Phew"! The knock on the door was short, soft.
"Sister is back", Zhang Xiaoqian ran over and opened the door.
"Sister"! Zhang Xiaoqian forgot about yesterday's unpleasantness.
Returning to the door as a guest, Zhang Meijiu hugged Zhang Xiaoqian, and Jiang Kai put the return gift on the partition.
"Jiang Kai, Meijiu, sit down quickly", Zhang Haibo tied his apron and held it up with both hands, he was frying ribs.
"Zhang Xiaoqian, do your homework"! Angel arranged for Zhang Xiaoqian to do her homework in a timely manner.
She doesn't want Xiaoqian and Miku's sister relationship to be too good.
"Oh, got it", Zhang Xiaoqian Moji went forward.
Miku looked at her former home, as if she was not married, and was still loved by her father.
Angel's face was blank, and the guest was a little depressed.
Jiang Kai even had a sense of nowhere to put it.
This daughter-in-law, who has been back and forth for a handful of times, has no sense of returning to her heart, and she is still like a marginal person. also turned Miku into a marginal person.
Because Jiang Kai found the hidden unhappiness from Zhang Haibo's face. His smile was not as pure as before, and the kind of full love he had for Meijiu before, which made Jiang Kai envious when he saw it, was much less.
"Could it really be that the old saying, the water spilled by the married daughter", Jiang Kai's heart suddenly felt slightly cold.
Jiang Kai and Miku sat a little dumbfounded.
The TV replays the joy of the Spring Festival Gala.
An Qi still put his hands on a wooden face, Zhang Haibo's hands kept stopping, stir-frying like this, cooking like that, looking at the mouth-watering dishes. It's just that he said so little that he barely spoke except for the clattering of plates.
Miku pulled Jiang Kai, and the two walked over to help.
"You're a guest, no! No," Angel politely declined.
"Mijiu, you two watch TV, the dish will be ready immediately", Zhang Haibo turned his head and instructed Mijiu.
Miku is used to seeing her father's smile, and now she feels uncomfortable with his rare serious face.
"Zhang Xiaoqian, wash your hands and eat"! Angel shouted in a loud voice.
Jiang Kai and Mijiu hurriedly got up.
Braised pork ribs, crispy pork ribs, ginseng, wolfberry, jujube, old hen soup, braised prawns, crispy vegetables and back to the pot meat, steamed scallops with vermicelli, steamed dried fish fillets.
A large table full of mouths made Miku's saliva water. If it had been before, she would have ignored it, and she would have chopped it off in her father's loving eyes.
But now she feels that this home is no longer hers. She held the bowl, lowered her head slightly, and held the rice with chopsticks.
Angel didn't speak, ate silently, and didn't pick up vegetables for Zhang Xiaoqian.
Zhang Haibo took the opportunity to wash his hands and exhaled deeply, in the mirror, he wanted to get back the smiling face he once had.
He tried to laugh a few times, but he was not satisfied.
"Zhang Haibo, look at you, how big is it. Haven't you seen a lot of wind and waves? Cheer up, for poor Meijiu", Meijiu is a weakness in Zhang Haibo's heart.
He hummed a little song and went to the partition to get Shixian Taibai.
"Jiang Kai, Meijiu, you're welcome, eat vegetables, eat vegetables", Zhang Haibo was full of smiles and enthusiasm. He sandwiched everyone's favorite dishes, including Jiang Kai and Anqi.
"Thank you Dad! These fried ribs are so fragrant"! Zhang Xiaoqian nibbled on the ribs and let out a sigh of admiration. At a young age, he is also a foodie.
"Dad, your chicken soup is amazing. Rich and mellow", Miku regained her previous smile.
A few people were eating with laughter and laughter, but Angel was the only one who didn't want to interject and couldn't interject.
After everyone finished eating, Jiang Kai saw that the atmosphere was rare and harmonious, "You all rest, I'll wash the dishes."
Jiang Kai was about to pick up the empty bowl of leftover vegetables on the table.
Angel thought to herself, "How can there be any reason for you to wash the dishes today, what if you take your wealth away?"
"I'll come, I'll come. Talk to your dad", Angel started to clean up the table.
Jiang Kai sat on the sofa, and Zhang Haibo walked over.
"What about Miku"? He turned his head to look for it.
"Dad, she went to the toilet", Jiang Kai stood up, "Dad, please take a seat."
Zhang Haibo leaned his head back on the chair, he felt a little dizzy, and rubbed his temples with his hands.
"I drank too much last night," maybe he was tired from cooking, and he didn't sleep well last night, so his face was very tired.
"Dad, go and sleep in the house for a while, I'm fine, watch TV", Jiang Kai said to Zhang Haibo with concern.
"Good! Then I'll go and lean for a while, maybe I drank a little too much just now."
, Zhang Haibo stood up and walked towards the bedroom.
