The car stopped in front of the residential area, Wenqing said "goodbye" and left.
Chu Fang turned around and asked, "To celebrate the end of the high school entrance exam, what would you like to eat?"
Zhong Rou raised her head high, full of spirit: "Ginseng Fruit, I want to live forever and remain in this world forever!"
“... ..."
Can you bite me?
You're scary enough as you are now, and you want to live forever...
"Hehe..." Seemingly realizing that her request was too difficult, Zhong Rou grinned and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to eat grilled fish."
Chu Fang nodded.
These past few days, my sister-in-law has been particularly interested in fish.
The two then headed to the market, where Chu Fang bought various vegetables and meats as they walked.
There will be many people at home tonight. Not only Chu Yi and Zhou Qiong, but also He Yi, Wu Di, and Yang Meina will be coming. In addition to the four people in the family, we need to buy a lot of things.
When I arrived at the fish shop, I bought two and a half pounds of grass carp. Grass carp is the best fish for grilling. It is not only delicious, but also contains unsaturated fatty acids and selenium, which are beneficial for blood circulation, anti-aging and beauty.
After walking through the entire market, Chu Fang and Zhong Rou were carrying bags full of things. The latter pouted, "Brother-in-law, I can't carry any more..."
"Soon." Chu Fang replied without turning his head. "We're out of flour at home, I need to buy some. Your sister wants to make a cake tonight."
Once a person gets the hang of something, they seem to learn things exceptionally quickly.
Since her first success, Zhong Tingyue's baking skills have improved rapidly. She can easily make all kinds of cakes, cookies, crisps, and so on, and she often makes pastries.
We go through flour very quickly at home.
After buying the flour, the two went home immediately. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Zhong Tingyue already sitting on the sofa, cleaning and tidying up the house. Chu Fang raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "Oh, President Zhong is off work?"
It's not even four o'clock yet.
"I'm bored."
It wasn't that she was bored, but rather that she couldn't bear to think that Chu Fang would be so busy and tired cooking for the whole family all by himself tonight.
It's my boyfriend, I cherish him.
The two entered the kitchen, and as usual, Chu Fang cooked while Zhong Tingyue assisted with tasks such as washing and chopping vegetables. They had been working together like this for more than half a year, and they were of one mind and worked together.
Zhong Tingyue opened the plastic bag, took out the already gutted grass carp, placed it on the cutting board, trimmed the edges and corners, and washed away the blood.
She parted her lips slightly and asked, "The service in the South is so much better. Unlike us in the North, where they never help you butcher the fish when you buy it."
"Then why don't you mention the price?" Chu Fang replied.
Talking about service without considering price is simply dishonest.
Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and glanced at him sideways: "Why are you yelling so loudly?"
“... ..."
Women all over the world seem to be the same; once they are in the wrong, they blame the man for being loud, and this woman is no exception.
But for some reason, Chu Fang felt pretty good.
Zhong Tingyue is aloof to outsiders but has a spoiled and arrogant temper to her inner self. This contrast is... quite captivating.
The two were busy in the kitchen until night fell and the city lights came on, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Yang Meina, He Yi, and Wu Di arrived hand in hand, instantly making the room lively. He Yi leaned against the kitchen door, arms crossed, and asked, "Do you need any help?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes. "Do you even need to ask? If you don't want to help, just say so."
“Perfect, I don’t want to move either.” He Yi remained unmoved, still leaning against the doorway.
Wu Di rolled up his sleeves to help and take over Zhong Tingyue's work. The latter clapped her hands and said, "I've learned another dessert called Oreo Hug Roll. You're in for a treat tonight."
Zhong Tingyue cracked the eggs, separating the egg whites and yolks. Then she added corn oil and pure milk, followed by flour, and stirred it evenly... The whole process was done very quickly, and she finished in no time. She then asked Chu Fang, "Mr. Chu, is the grilled fish ready? I need to use the oven."
Because the kitchen was too small to fit many cooking utensils, Chu Fang had no choice but to use an oven to bake the fish.
He checked the time and realized it was time. He opened the oven, and a wonderful aroma wafted out. He then stir-fried a series of seasonings and ingredients, including bean sprouts, cucumbers, and mushrooms, and poured them over the oven. Instantly, the whole room was filled with the fragrance.
Chu Yi had just stepped inside when he was immediately surprised: "Holy crap, it smells amazing!"
Then Chu Yi, Zhou Qiong, and Gao Ruoyun arrived home, and the simple family gathering officially began. The table was filled with dishes, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.
Zhong Rou glanced at a glass of baijiu and nudged Chu Fang, saying, "Brother-in-law, I want to drink too."
“Children shouldn’t drink alcohol,” he replied.
“Tonight’s dinner is to celebrate my birthday. As the person in charge, why can’t I drink?” Zhong Rou said. “Besides, I’ve secretly drunk my dad’s wine before.”
Chu Fang shook his head in disagreement, while Gao Ruoyun said, "Little Chu, let her have a sip."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Rou was overjoyed. She immediately picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and then her face contorted in obvious discomfort. She coughed, and it took her a while to recover before she said, "Spicy, bitter, and choking. How come it's different from the one my father drank?"
"Nonsense." Seeing her little girl's distressed face, Gao Ruoyun smiled. "I diluted the wine your father drank."
“... ..."
My brave and powerful mother-in-law!
The banquet lasted until 10 p.m., and after everyone had tasted Zhong Tingyue's Oreo Hug Roll, they dispersed.
Chu Fang, Zhong Tingyue, and Zhong Rou wanted to go for a walk to digest their food, so they dropped off their two younger sisters, Yang Meina, He Yi, and Wu Di. Gao Ruoyun was too tired from work today and wanted to stay home to rest, so they didn't insist.
The moonlight is bright tonight, and a sea breeze is blowing. After a day of scorching sun, the whole city has cooled down.
Zhong Tingyue, Yang Meina, and He Yi walked hand in hand. Yang Meina said, "Oh dear, it's been so long since the three of us sisters got together. One of you has a boyfriend, and another is married. I'm all alone."
"I'm getting old." He Yi sighed as she looked at the night sky.
Life seems to be like this: when you enter another stage of life, you have to part with the people and things from the previous stage.
"By the way," Zhong Tingyue seemed to remember something and asked her childhood friend, "How are things between you and Chang Shen? How's your therapy going?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Meina bit her lip and frowned: "I, Yang Meina, have been wandering the world for seven or eight years, but I have never met anyone like Chang Shen. He's simply... too bizarre!"
