"Hello, uncle and aunt. I'm Xiao Cheng, Qingmeng's older brother. We grew up together."
Xiao Cheng changed his usual icy face and greeted the Pei family one by one, acting like a junior and considering himself as Gu Qingmeng's family member.
When Pei Dazhuang and Zhang Shuqin heard that he and their daughter-in-law grew up together, they treated the guests more sincerely.
"Mengmeng, mom made your favorite spare ribs for you." Zhang Shuqin started busying herself in the kitchen when she knew Gu Qingmeng was back. There were no fresh spare ribs at home, so she had to use air-dried spare ribs instead.
Knowing that Gu Qingmeng likes spicy food, she specially fried it with chili peppers.
"Thank you, mother!"
Gu Qingmeng smiled and walked forward to hold her mother-in-law's arm. Her mother-in-law was really good to her!
"Mom, I made you some new clothes, just perfect for the next couple of days. Why don't you stay in town with us for a few days? Xiaobao misses you."
Gu Qingmeng brought up her nephew Pei Li. If you were to ask who is her mother-in-law's favorite now, it would have to be Pei Li.
"Okay, it's a good time to go get him. Your third sister-in-law can't delay going to work any longer."
The little grandson was not in good health and had been sick several times in just a few months. Zhang Shuqin attributed this to her son's injury and her daughter-in-law's excessive worrying, which led to the child's poor development. Therefore, she always showed more care and love to Pei Li.
"Please sit down. I'll go get your grandma to eat."
Gu Qingmeng stopped Zhang Shuqin: "Mom, I'll go call grandma."
Looking at her daughter-in-law jumping around, Zhang Shuqin smiled and shook her head. This girl was favored, but she still had the mentality of a child. Two days ago, the old man wanted her to induce labor.
She wasn't a wicked mother-in-law. They were both young, so it wasn't too late to wait two years before having another child. What was the point of having too many children? What else could the eldest and second child do except to annoy her?
"Grandpa is here! Please sit down, I'll help serve the dishes." Gu Qingmeng helped Grandma Pei out and saw Pei Heixiong coming. She greeted him and went to help serve the dishes.
Seeing the braised pork in the pot, she knew that her mother-in-law must have cooked all the meat!
It must be to entertain her friends! Otherwise, my mother-in-law wouldn't be willing to put so much meat in it!
Braised pork, fried salted fish, stir-fried pork ribs with dried chili peppers, braised eggs, spicy and sour potato shreds, stir-fried cabbage slices, and a plate of homemade pickles.
Her mother-in-law is an expert at pickling pickles. These cold pickles are very refreshing and are her favorite.
This dish may not be as rich as what the Pei family prepared during Chinese New Year!
Sitting at the dinner table, Gu Qingmeng thought she would have dinner with Pei Fugui, Pei Jianshe and others, but she didn't expect that her parents-in-law didn't invite them.
"Xiao Xiao, Zhao Zhiqing, you are all Mengmeng's childhood friends, so feel free to treat us like our own family. Pick up your chopsticks and eat whatever you like."
Zhang Shuqin picked up a few pieces of food for each of them before they started eating, but stopped picking up food for anyone after they started eating.
It’s not that she is too particular, but they have a son with obsessive-compulsive disorder at home and they are used to it.
"Don't be polite, Xiao Xiao. Just treat him as your own family. Da Zhuang is a remarkable young man. He's only 23 years old and already a deputy regiment commander."
Pei Heixiong kept praising Xiao Cheng. He was also a soldier and liked the outstanding junior very much.
His eyes glanced at the green, revealing a look of nostalgia.
We ate until it was completely dark!
It was only when Xiao Cheng and Zhao Weiting said goodbye that it was completely over!
Gu Qingmeng knew that they were in a hurry to go to the cowshed, so she sent them to the door and told them to be careful before she and Pei Xinghe turned and went into the yard.
When I looked up, I saw Pei Fugui and Pei Jianshe standing at the door of the east wing, followed closely by Qian Shufen and Wang Chunhua.
