After returning to the Zhao family, Jianshu rested for a while. He had to admit that sometimes he could hardly handle too much care.

Looking at Jian Shu's expression, Meng Ying said with a bit of amusement, "Someone who didn't know would think you had a big fight with someone!"

Jian Shu collapsed on the sofa and said, "Aunt, you don't know, when Grandma Zhou and Aunt Zhang saw me, they were so enthusiastic that I couldn't resist them at all."

They had met before, but this time was different. Everyone felt sorry for her because she was an orphan, and was afraid that she would be bullied or something. They kept telling her to come back to them if anything happened and that they would support her. They were extremely enthusiastic.

But this is all well-intentioned, and Jianshu can only accept it silently. However, after going through several companies, it is really exhausted.

Seeing that it was getting late, Meng Ying prepared to start cooking dinner.

"Aunt, let me show you my cooking skills. I'll make you some braised rabbit meat and show you how good my cooking skills are."

"Oh, our Shushu can make braised rabbit meat? Okay, then auntie will try your cooking skills." The child had this intention, so Meng Ying certainly would not discourage him.

It's meat after all, so it can't be that bad. If all else fails, we still have Lao Zhao, who isn't picky about anything.

The rabbit was killed and brought here. Cut the rabbit into pieces and clean it.

I looked at the seasonings at home and found that they were quite complete, with basically everything I needed.

First blanch the rabbit pieces, then heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, add onion, ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and dried chilies and stir-fry until fragrant.

Jianshu is quite good at using oil. While Meng Ying was out, Jianshu added some more oil to the oil bottle.

Pour in the rabbit meat and stir-fry for a while, then pour in cooking wine and continue stir-frying.

Add salt, soy sauce and sugar and continue to stir-fry evenly over high heat to color it.

Pour clean water into the rabbit meat, bring to a boil over high heat, cover with a lid and simmer for about 20 minutes.

After a while, I could smell a fragrance coming out, and when it came out of the pot, the fragrance was so irresistible.

Zhao Mingze just happened to come back at this time. He smelled the fragrance and couldn't help asking, "What did you do? It smells so good."

Seeing Zhao Mingze coming back, Jian Shu greeted him: "Uncle Zhao is back."

"Shushu asked us to try her cooking skills, so she made braised rabbit meat. You're back just in time, and we're ready to eat." Meng Ying brought the dishes to the table.

"Okay, it's finally time to eat!" Zhao Tianrui couldn't stand the smell from the kitchen for a long time, and he couldn't help cheering when he heard that he could finally eat.

Today's dinner was a feast. Meng Ying had already prepared steamed pork with rice flour, braised hairtail fish, stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, and fish head and tofu soup. Adding Jianshu's braised rabbit, there were four dishes and one soup in total.

Many families may not be able to have such delicious dishes during the Chinese New Year, it is so sumptuous.

After washing their hands, they sat at the dining table. Zhao Mingze poured himself a glass of white wine, and Meng Ying and Jianshu also poured some fruit wine. This wine had a low alcohol content and was not intoxicating.

As for the two little guys, there is no need to think about it. Drinking is impossible for them.

But Zhao Tianrui saw that the three of them had it and he also wanted it too, so he had no choice but to use jam to make a glass of water for him and Zhao Yueling.

With the delicious food in front of them, no one said much nonsense. Zhao Mingze said a few simple words and started eating.

Zhao Mingze and Meng Ying went straight for the braised rabbit meat. After all, it was a gift from Jianshu to them, so they had to taste it.

The two of them decided before eating that even if it didn’t taste good, they couldn’t say it directly, so as not to undermine the child’s self-confidence.

But they didn't expect that they were conquered as soon as they put the rabbit meat in their mouths.

"Shushu, your craftsmanship is really good. It seems that you have been delayed in the past."

"Yeah, our Shushu has only been here for a short time and I didn't expect his cooking skills to be so good."

Jian Shu felt a little embarrassed. If others didn't know, didn't she know? She wasn't a genius at all; it was just the skills of a past life.

"If you like it, please eat more. I will make it for you next time."

"Come on, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, let's clink glasses and celebrate." Zhao Mingze raised his glass.

"Come on, let's do one together."

Several people raised their glasses, and even Zhao Tianrui joined in the fun by raising his own small cup.

The group ate and drank, and the meal lasted more than an hour. Not only did they drink a lot of wine, but they also finished all the food.

After dinner, we ran to the balcony to watch the moon, eat mooncakes and chat.

"Shushu, how have you been recently? Are there any problems with your work or life?"

There was not much time before, but now when they got together to chat, Meng Ying started to care about how Jianshu was doing.

"It's pretty good. My colleagues at work are easy to get along with, and the neighbors near my home are nice too. Ever since Uncle Qian visited last time, everyone has been very welcoming to me."

Zhao Mingze found out the next day about the last time a thief appeared at home. It was Qian Wenhan who told him.

After knowing this, he went to Jianshu's house that night to make sure that she was really okay.

"From now on, no one will come to harass you again, right?" Zhao Mingze was still a little worried about Jianshu living alone, especially after what happened last time.

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry. No one has been there during this period. Besides, Xiaopang is still here. If someone really goes there, who knows who will be in trouble." Xiaopang's fighting ability is really good, especially after being fed by Jianshu's spiritual spring water for this period of time, his skills have become even more agile.

When Zhao Mingze heard Jianshu mention Xiaopang, he felt a little relieved.

The few of them chatted and ate mooncakes, watching Zhao Tianrui act naughty from time to time.

It was getting late and everyone had to go to work tomorrow, so Zhao Mingze sent Jianshu home.
