Chapter 368: A Simple and Rough New Year's Dinner in the North: A Red Envelope for a New Prospective Daughter-in-law!
The sun is very good on the first day of the new year, and the sun is always bright in the winter in the north, and it can basically be sunburned in the room at noon.
Gu Huai'an's balcony and living room are open, the floor is not low, more than a dozen floors, the lighting is very good, just at noon, the blazing sun shines into the white floor of the home, and the whole home is quite bright and warm.
"Friends on the left!"
On TV, a replay of last night's Spring Festival Gala was played, and I don't know if it was a coincidence, just playing the picture of Gu Huai'an's "social" at the Spring Festival Gala last night.
Because the eldest son brought his girlfriend back, the family made a lot of dishes, and there were already a lot of them on the table, but there were still no dishes in the kitchen.
The whole house is filled with the aroma of sauce, meat, and vegetables......
Of course, there is also the smell of perfume on Pei Jingshu's body, as well as the smell of laundry detergent at home.
Gu's mother helped Pei Jingshu pour water, held her hand and chatted enthusiastically.
The picture always looks very warm......
"Ahh
"Mom!"
"Help me!"
Even in the room, there is often a sound like "killing pigs".
Gu Huai'an completely took that anger out on his younger brother......
"The two of them, they've been like this since they were ...... kids"
Gu's mother silently supported her forehead and told Pei Jingshu some stories about Gu Huai'an and Gu Zhun when she was a child.
said that the two brothers were not worried when they were young, and they looked at the age difference between the two by several years, but they did almost the same thing......
When he was a child, he lived in his hometown village, Gu Huaian didn't like to wash his face, and then you forced him to wash his face, and when he was in a hurry, he found the charcoal burned in winter, smeared his hand and wiped it on his face!
I was angry with Gu's mother, and chased him with a broom for most of the day......
The crux of the matter is that his brother had done the same thing when he was his age!
"His brother, he hasn't taught anything better......"
When it comes to this stubble, Gu's mother said that it was taught by Gu Huai'an, so Gu Huai'an is still wronged, who is a good person who has nothing to do to teach this thing?
"Flutter ......"
Pei Jingshu was amused and giggled, but she didn't expect Gu Huai'an to be so naughty when she was a child.
Gu's mother became more and more energetic the more she talked, and she wanted to share with Pei Jingshu about Gu Huai'an's little when she was a child, which was to take advantage of Gu Huai'an's absence to shake out......
But soon!
"......"
There was the sound of a pot boiling in the kitchen.
"Yikes!"
Gu's mother stood up suddenly, and shouted to the brothers who were fighting in the room while running to the kitchen:
"It's all your fault for the fuss, I forgot that there was still meat stew in the kitchen!"
Gu Huai'an and Gu Zhun Lao in the room were wronged, do you say it's because the two of them are making trouble?
It was purely because Gu's mother and Pei Jingshu were chatting energetically......
I forgot about it, do you blame the two sons?
make these two sons look like they are not biological......
Pei Jingshu, who was sitting in the living room holding the tea made by Gu Huai'an's younger brother, looked at this scene with a smile......
There is heating at home, it's very warm, the sun is good today, and the sunshine will also make people feel very good, after drinking tea for a while, I was warmed by Gu's mother for a while, Pei Jingshu at this time has completely warmed up, and her hands are quite warm......
But what makes her feel more warm is probably the atmosphere of this home.
This family, the relationship is really good......
Moreover, she didn't treat her as an outsider at all, and she even had the feeling that she was closer to Gu's mother than Gu Huai'an and the brothers.
Pei Jingshu couldn't help but think, with such a mother-in-law, if there is another conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, then the daughter-in-law should find her own problems.
……
Yesterday in the Chinese New Year's Eve, Gu Huaian did not come back from the Spring Festival Gala, so he did not eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
When Pei Jingshu came back at the beginning of the year today, Gu's mother must prepare well.
The dining table at home is full of dishes, such as Chinese New Year's sausages, stewed pork ribs, pig's trotters, fried yellow-flour rice cakes, lotus roots, hairtail, including spicy fried large intestines and belly, which are basically the standard for the New Year in the mountain and winter areas.
The northerners' New Year's table is always very rich, not only with many dishes, but also with enough portions.
The table at home is not very large, so Gu's mother basically doesn't use large plates, they are all filled with real small plates.
Afraid that Pei Jingshu would not be used to eating those simple and rough foods in the north, Gu's mother also specially fried shrimp with celery fungus, cold mixed white sugar cucumber, fried garlic scrambled eggs, shredded garlic sprouts, cut a plate of beef, and mixed a preserved egg......
That table wow......
"Auntie, did you do this?"
Pei Jingshu was dumbfounded.
At the beginning, when Gu's mother called Gu Zhun to serve the dishes up, Pei Jingshu was a little dumbfounded when she watched Gu Zhun serve them one plate after another, and when all the dishes were served, she was really dumbfounded.
This big table, even if many housewives are asked to do it, she may have to do it for a day......
That's too rich, isn't it?
"Eat as much as you want......"
Gu's mother seemed very modest at this time, wiped her hands and said while walking into the kitchen:
"There's another fish, it'll be ready soon, you guys eat it first."
"And what?!"
Pei Jingshu couldn't help but glance at Gu Huai'an, she had heard Gu Huai'an praise him many times before, his mother's good craftsmanship and good home-cooked food, who would have thought that it would be so exaggerated!
"She is usually not available to open a store, otherwise she would have to eat the two of us every day, and we would both have to go up to 200 catties."
Gu Huai'an looked very ordinary, pulled a chair and sat down, and without waiting for his mother to come over, he first copied a piece of lotus root and stuffed it in his mouth.
You don't pay attention to so many rules in your own home, and if you come home for the New Year, it's too outward......
"No wonder you're so good at eating ......"
Pei Jingshu recalled that when she used to record a show with Gu Huai'an in Yunnan, she always wondered how Gu Huai'an came up with so many strange foods, cucumber fried dough sticks and fried steamed bun slices......
It turns out that everything has traces to follow!
"Today is indeed quite abundant......
Gu Huai'an scratched his head, picked up a piece of fried hairtail and gnawed on it, and shouted to his mother in the kitchen:
"Mom, you treat it differently, when did our family celebrate the New Year so much in previous years?"
This is true, their family is not much, just three people, making too much to eat, so even the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is a few dishes that the brothers love to eat.
The family will buy New Year's goods, but basically they are made for guests to eat when they come to the New Year.
When relatives came to the family, there were a lot of dishes, and they were all big tables, but there were not so many as they are today, so exaggerated......
In this regard, Gu's mother just glared at Gu Huai'an and said:
"Don't climb, when have you eaten less since you were a child?"
Maybe Gu's mother has been busy opening a store to make money over the years, but she really hasn't treated the brothers badly in terms of food.
Gu Huaian shrugged his shoulders and didn't refute it, because although it was rare for a large table of dishes to be gathered here in such a group before, he had basically eaten every dish.
The smell of home.
"You taste this ......"
Gu Huaian peeled the thorns of the hairtail fish in his hand and handed it to Pei Jingshu, it is worth mentioning that he eats it by himself, and he uses chopsticks to peel Pei Jingshu.
It's very particular!
"Hmmm......"
Pei Jingshu shook her head and whispered:
"Wait for Auntie to come along."
If you don't help, forget it, don't wait for your aunt to move chopsticks, it's not appropriate.
"It's okay......
Gu Huai'an knew that she was polite, glanced at the kitchen, and saw that her mother was busy finishing the fish, so she whispered to Pei Jingshu:
"Come on, you taste it first, I won't tell my mother......"
Pei Jingshu originally wanted to refuse, but after Gu Huai'an peeled it for herself, this dry fried ribbon fish fried is indeed quite tempting......
It's been a long time since she entered the door and smelled the smell of this food at home, and she was already hungry......
So after peeking at Gu's mother in the kitchen, she didn't refuse, quietly opened her rosy lips, and let Gu Huai'an stuff the peeled hairtail fish into her mouth.
At that moment, Pei Jingshu suddenly remembered the first time she met Gu Huai'an, and he secretly called her to eat ice cream in a place where his sister couldn't see......
With Gu Huai'an, it seems that this kind of "stealing" scene is always indispensable.
I miss it, don't you......
"Is it delicious?" Gu Huai'an asked.
"Hmm." Pei Jingshu nodded.
This fish is pickled, wrapped in starch and pierced through, the taste is quite good, the saltiness is moderate, and it is not worse than the restaurant outside.
"You eat first, don't wait for my ......"
At the right time, Gu's mother brought the last dish of steamed sturgeon to the table, and saw Pei Jingshu sitting there obediently without moving chopsticks, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it......
On the other hand, one of her two sons did not wait for her, although she didn't use chopsticks, but these two gluttonous insects had already fried several pieces of fried goods and ate them.
gnawed on the mouth and hands with oil......
Compared with Pei Jingshuyi, it is like a person from two worlds.
"You two have no conscience, can you learn from someone else?"
Gu's mother sometimes feels that she is really too used to these two sons, is she really negligent in discipline?
In the past, when Gu Huaian was scolded for "no quality", she also thought that it was her responsibility......
It is worth mentioning that Pei Jingshu blushed a little when she heard this, and there was a little shame in her eyes, because she had just ......
She also stole a bite.
But that's what she's definitely not going to say......
But whether Gu Huai'an will be able to do it is not certain, you look at this moment, this old 6 looks at Pei Jingshu with a smile that seems to be not a smile......
"Don't ......"
Pei Jingshu blushed, she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her elders, so she hurriedly pulled the corner of Gu Huai'an's clothes under the table,
Gu Huai'an, who was understanding, didn't tear her down, but just laughed there......
"Look at the worthless look you laugh at......"
Gu's mother was disgusted with him, but she also saw Pei Jingshu's action of secretly tugging Gu Huai'an's clothes, which made Gu's mother couldn't help but smile at her aunt, feeling that her son and daughter-in-law were quite close.
"Alright, let's move the chopsticks......"
I am happy today, Gu's mother rarely opened a bottle of red wine, this wine was given to Gu Huai'an by a friend last year, Gu Huai'an was not too happy to drink red wine, so he took it home, and planned to give it to his relatives when he came to the family.
But Gu's mother has never been willing to give it to her relatives, so she has kept it.
Having said that, although Gu Huai'an said that he had a good amount of alcohol, he almost didn't drink at home, Pei Jingshu knew about it, saying that no one in the family drank alcohol, and people who didn't drink hated the smell of tobacco and alcohol, so it was not too necessary for him to drink alcohol everywhere by himself.
"That...... Auntie, wait a minute. ”
Before Gu's mother raised her glass, Pei Jingshu suddenly interrupted, and then lifted two gift bags prepared in advance from the table......
"I brought you a gift."
One of the bigger ones was for Gu's mother, and the smaller one was for Gu Zhun.
Gu Huai'an smiled helplessly, do you want him to say, can you just get the gift at the door?
But it seems that Pei Jingshu is a little particular about this aspect, saying that she has to exchange gifts at the dinner table......
But one thing to say, it seems that giving gifts at this time is indeed quite fun.
Gu's mother was quite surprised, because Pei Jingshu's gift to her was a coat that felt good to the touch, with a trademark on the back of the clothes, which seemed to be an international brand, and it seemed to be a limited edition, worth hundreds of thousands......
What Gu Zhun was given was a watch, a youth style, which he probably doesn't use much now, and it will be just right to wear it as an adult in two years.
It's worth more than 100,000 yuan.
"Poof...... Ahem......"
Gu Huai'an was originally drinking water, but after seeing these two gifts, he almost sprayed at that time.
Then he looked at Pei Jingshu with very strange eyes......
"How...... What's wrong? ”
Pei Jingshu was still strange, and thought that there was something wrong with the gift she chose.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, it's okay. ”
Gu Huai'an waved his hand, but he didn't say anything, fortunately, his mother didn't know the value of that dress very well, otherwise it might not be necessary to dare to wear it......
Who in an ordinary family can afford to wear hundreds of thousands of coats?!
Then the gold is not worth this money!
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are enough to buy a second-hand house in a small county below this second-tier city......
His own mother understands it, Gu Huaian feels that if her mother knows the value of this dress, she will definitely be reluctant to wear it, and she can't wait to provide it.
There is no way, their family's concept is like this, it has been like this for decades, even if Gu Huai'an's income has skyrocketed after he became famous, and he has transferred a lot of money to his mother, but these concepts are still not easy to change.
Gu Zhun is not like this, this kid can't wait to give him some luxury goods to go out and show off......
And the reason why Gu Huai'an reacted just now was not that he felt that Pei Jingshu's gift was wrong, didn't it seem important if it was expensive?
I just think it......
His own mother knew the price and had to be scared.
When Pei Jingshu bought a gift and asked Gu Huai'an for her opinion before, Gu Huai'an really didn't have any ideas, so she didn't care, where did she think that the gift she brought was so valuable? !
However, what surprised Gu Huaian was ......
Mom actually prepared a red envelope for Pei Jingshu!
In fact, there is no talk of girlfriends coming to give red envelopes at home, they are all engaged or changed their words to give red envelopes.
But who made Gu's mother so satisfied with Pei Jingshu?
The old lady is not short of money in her hands, Gu Huai'an usually transfers money to her family when she has nothing to do, and it is often tens of millions like this, he is not short of money, and there are not many places to use the money, and he will not suffer a loss to his family......
So the red envelope that Gu's mother gave Pei Jingshu is really not small, it is more than 600,000 yuan, and she takes an auspicious number, 666666!
This is something that Gu Huai'an didn't expect, he had the impression that his mother was a thrifty person, and she was generally not so extravagant......
Just now, Gu Huai'an still felt that Gu Ma was frightened when she heard the price of the hundreds of thousands of coats, who would have thought that the backhand of the other person was more than 600,000 red envelopes and threw them out......
Gu Huai'an felt that it was time for him to re-evaluate his perception of his mother!
This is really impressive!
Pei Jingshu must have excused herself, but Gu's mother said that this is Gu Huai'an's money anyway, and what is hiss is yours, who holds it differently?
This made Pei Jingshu blush a little and a little embarrassed......
"Okay, the dishes are cold, let's move the chopsticks quickly."
After exchanging gifts, they must move their chopsticks, it is worth mentioning that Gu Huai'an and Gu Zhun brothers eat exactly the same, they are all gobbling up, which makes Gu's mother feel embarrassed, and she trains the two of them vigorously.
On the contrary, it was Pei Jingshu who ate slowly and methodically, and chatted with Gu's mother from time to time, making Gu's mother more and more satisfied.
She's the kind of obedient type that elders like in her appearance and temperament, and she's so polite and sensible, which elder can't like it?
This made Gu Huai'an and Gu Zhun like outsiders, after eating, Gu's mother simply handed over the work of washing pots and dishes to Gu Huai'an and Gu Zhun, and took Pei Jingshu's hand to the living room to bask in the sun and drink tea.
“…… You can't buy a dishwasher! Gu Huaian complained while cleaning up.
"The dishwasher doesn't cost money, huh?" Gu's mother rolled her eyes.
“…… When I first gave the red envelope, I didn't see you distressed about the money? The corners of Gu Huai'an's mouth twitched.
More than 600,000 red envelopes are given when they are said, and thousands of fast dishwashers are reluctant to buy, there is really no one......
I was so sleepy after dinner, I didn't take a break to catch the high-speed train after the Spring Festival Gala last night, Gu Huai'an was sleepy early after being full of wine and food, and it should be time to sleep in the afternoon, so he simply washed a few dishes and threw them to Gu Zhun, and went to sleep in the room by himself.
Gu Zhun must have complaints, but Gu Huai'an's backhand is a "New Year's money red envelope" of tens of thousands of yuan, and his brother's complaints are not only swept away, but even said Brother, are your shoulders sore or not, your back is stiff, do you need a massage?
"Money ability" is really good......
Gu Huai'an had the intention to let Pei Jingshu also take a rest, after all, she was with her at the Spring Festival Gala last night......
However, Pei Jingshu said that she was going to go to the new house with Gu's mother to have a look.
Oh yes, I forgot to say, some time ago, Gu's mother bought a house for Gu Huai'an in a local villa area with a good location, and it is being renovated recently.
Their family is not short of money now, Gu Huai'an's monthly income now starts at seven or eight figures, and there is no problem with the community he lives in now, Gu Huai'an usually doesn't go home often, and the house must be enough for Gu Zhun and Gu's mother......
But it's not very private!
After all, he is a well-known artist, a big star, Gu Huai'an's home is always stared at by all kinds of people, and when he didn't have any work at home during the National Day, he was often blocked at the door, and the elevator was not password-based, and sometimes someone was blocked at the door of the corridor at home......
Maybe they don't have bad intentions, and they even came to encourage Gu Huai'an, but after all, they also disturbed Gu Huai'an's private life, so who doesn't want to have a little private life?
You can't always be in the audience's sight.
So at that time, Gu Huai'an called Gu's mother to find a more private community and buy a suite, if not, it would be better to go to the city......
Sometimes, being a star is not an easy thing.
