His wife's words made Lu Zhenfeng ponder for a long time.

When they rushed to have New Year's Eve dinner with Qiao Qingqing, Lu Zhenfeng had no time to think.

The dishes are all prepared at noon and just need to be heated up.

Except for the crab dish.

Crabs taste best when they are freshly steamed, so Qiao Qingqing only made one portion for lunch.

In the evening she cooked a pot of rice and steamed a plate of crabs.

The braised pork became even softer and more tender - although the old man said that he had good teeth, Qiao Qingqing could see that he still preferred to eat soft and tender food.

“So many dishes?”

Shi Meiyun was very surprised and looked at her daughter-in-law: "You did all this?"

Qiao Qingqing smiled and said, "I'll be cooking with my educated youth friends at noon. I can't handle it all by myself."

"Even if you are busy enough, you still have to be careful. You are pregnant now." Shi Meiyun scolded her and pushed her down to sit down. "Don't move. Leave everything to us."

"In previous years, when our family celebrated the New Year in Beijing, the food we ate was never this sumptuous." The old man looked confused.

Was he demoted here, or was he here to enjoy his life?

"Doesn't our team have a sideline business now? Each of us who participates can get a share of the money. Although I didn't go out to sea, as the deputy captain, I opened up a sideline business for everyone, so the money I get every month is quite considerable."

Qiao Qingqing explained to them the source of the money.

"With my savings and Lu Heng's allowance, I have quite a bit of money. I thought it was a rare opportunity for my family to be together, and my friends from the educated youth group have helped me many times, so..."

Seeing her look embarrassed as she spoke, the old man immediately realized that he might have scared the child.

He said kindly, "Qingqing is very sensible in what she does. No one can find fault with her. This money is something outside of one's body. It should be used as it should be. No matter how tightly you hold it in your hands, it is better to use it for yourself. Don't you think so?"

The experience of the Lu family is enough to prove this point...

"Yeah." Qiao Qingqing's brows relaxed and she smiled, trying her best to recommend the chicken soup she cooked to the old man: "Grandpa, please try this soup. I cooked it for more than two hours this morning, but it was not enough. I cooked it for another hour when I came back in the afternoon. It's very fragrant now. Do you think it suits your taste?"

During the more than one month that Qiao Qingqing lived in the Lu family in Beijing, she wrote down everyone's preferences and general temperament, which is why she took so much trouble to stew a pot of chicken soup.

The old man took a sip and was refreshed by the delicious taste in his mouth!

Just at this moment, Qiao Qingqing looked at him hopefully: "Grandpa, is it delicious?"

The old man nodded repeatedly: "It tastes good! You guys should try it too."

Hearing this, everyone took a sip of the chicken soup first.

The delicious taste of the chicken is absorbed into the soup, which is so delicious that your tongue will fall off. You can't help but drink up a whole bowl in one breath.

Seeing that the three of them liked it, Qiao Qingqing couldn't help but smile.

"Qingqing, drink more. This chicken soup is very nutritious." Shi Meijun served her another bowl.

During the meal, the three of them were taking care of Qiao Qingqing, always paying attention to what she liked to eat, and after she finished eating, they asked Shi Meijun to pick up some food for her.

Qiao Qingqing was not suitable to eat cold food during pregnancy, so she could only look at the delicious plate of steamed crab.

The old man and Lu Zhenfeng looked at her with evil eyes and felt sorry for her, so they asked Shi Meiyun, "Is it true that pregnant women cannot eat crabs at all?"

Shi Meiyun also looked conflicted: "It's best not to eat it, but no one can say for sure whether eating a little will be a problem..."
