Chapter 217: Between People, It's All About Interests
Su Mingmei was very touched when she saw that the house was clean and tidy everywhere, and the bed was made warmly and tidy in advance!
"Just decide where you want to sleep at night. Except for the room in front where my father lives, you can choose any of the others. If you have any other needs, just let me know!" Bai Xiumei said to Su Mingmei.
"I don't have any requirements. Everything is arranged well!" Su Mingmei shook her head.
Bai Xiumei took her upstairs and downstairs again.
Su Mingmei couldn't help but sigh. There were so many rooms in the house, and there was a bathroom on each floor. The bathroom was equipped with a flush toilet, which was clean and had no odor at all.
This house is so comfortable to live in!
Su Mingmei was full of envy, and she wished she could get a flush toilet when she got home...
In the kitchen.
Originally, Dong Yulan was helping Sister Lin.
Mrs. Lin has worked for Bai Zhengshan's family for more than 20 years and her cooking skills are pretty good.
But after Dong Yulan showed off her cooking skills, Sister Lin took the initiative to give up her position as the chef.
The dishes are all prepared in advance, and you just need to stir-fry them.
The gas stove is easy to use and you can control the heat as you like!
Dong Yulan was waving the spatula, and Sister Lin was beside her, following her instructions. The two of them worked in perfect harmony in the kitchen.
As the aroma wafts out, lunch is almost ready!
The food was served and everyone sat around the table.
Bai Zhengshan looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't wait to eat them.
Mrs. Lin’s cooking style is light. The dishes on the table are both spicy and numbing. Needless to say, they are definitely the work of her in-laws.
Ever since he went to Nanshi for his youngest daughter's engagement and had dinner at Gu's house for a few days, Bai Zhengshan had no appetite for a long time after he came back, simply because his appetite had been spoiled by his in-laws.
Now that he can eat Dong Yulan’s cooking again, Bai Zhengshan is so happy that he can’t contain himself.
"Eat, eat, everyone!" Bai Zhengshan picked up his chopsticks and invited everyone to start eating.
There were many main dishes on the table, including braised beef, stir-fried prawns, cold pig ears, braised pork with potatoes, a pot of corn and pork ribs soup in the middle of the table, and then some vegetarian dishes brought from home, stir-fried cucumbers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and water spinach with garlic.
The table was full and very sumptuous!
Xiao Mo stood up and put a few prawns into the seven-treasure bowl.
This kind of shrimp meat is not normally available in Nanshi. It was Sister Lin who used her connections to ask someone to buy the live shrimp for her.
"Haha, the children all eat it. If you like it, ask your Grandma Lin to buy some more tomorrow!" Bai Zhengshan saw that his grandson only gave the Qibao clip, and he was as nice to the little girl as always. While enjoying it, he did not forget to ask Jinze and other boys to eat it as well.
Gu Qiqi took a bite of the shrimp and found the meat was good and tasted very fresh, so she started eating happily.
Gu Jinan and his friends had never eaten this kind of prawns at home, so they felt it was very novel and picked up one to eat.
There are also braised beef and cold pig ears, these two dishes are not common on the Gu family’s dining table.
A few boys were focusing on eating the meat, but Bai Zhengshan was the only one who picked the vegetarian dishes that Dong Yulan brought.
"The vegetables grown by my in-laws are still delicious. The ones bought outside don't taste as good!" Bai Zhengshan took a bite of garlic water spinach and couldn't help but sigh.
The vegetables grown by the Gu family taste better and are especially comfortable!
I picked up another piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It was sour and sweet, and very appetizing!
It’s just a simple stir-fried cucumber dish, but Bai Zhengshan feels it tastes better than meat!
Although he didn't have much of an appetite at first, Bai Zhengshan couldn't stop eating once he started!
It was a meal that everyone enjoyed very much!
After dinner, everyone chatted in the living room to help digest the food.
The Bai family has a simple population.
After Bai Zhengshan's wife died during childbirth of Bai Xiu Li in his early years, he never looked for another wife.
Usually, apart from the guard Xiao Zhang, Mrs. Lin is the only one at home.
Now that so many people have come, the house has suddenly become lively.
Bai Zhengshan was very happy and the smile on his face never stopped.
After a long journey and spending more than ten hours on the train, Su Mingmei and Bai Xiumei were sitting on hard seats and were already exhausted. They chatted for a while after dinner and then went to rest.
When I woke up, it was almost evening!
Dong Yulan informed Mrs. Lin in advance that there was still some food left over from lunch, so they could keep it simple for dinner, like making some cold noodles or something.
It’s hot in summer, and cold noodles are more appetizing!
It just so happened that she brought some cucumbers and peanuts, which she mixed with the cold noodles. It was fragrant, crispy and delicious!
When Gu Qiqi woke up, she was not in a familiar place and was a little confused.
She sat on the bed for a long time until Xiao Mo came up with a piece of watermelon.
"Did you sleep well? Eat a piece of watermelon to quench your thirst!" Xiao Mo looked at Qibao and asked in a low voice.
Gu Qiqi nodded, then shook her head.
I don’t want to move, I want to be lazy for a while!
Xiao Mo saw through it and waited quietly with the watermelon in his hand.
When Gu Qiqi was about to get out of bed, he quickly put the watermelon on the table beside him and squatted down to put on her shoes.
Gu Qiqi blinked and stared at Xiao Mo's head in a daze.
[A son of heaven's favor has fallen to the point of following a little brat around every day, helping him pick up food and put on shoes. Doesn't he feel sick and annoyed? ]
Gu Qiqi was puzzled!
Xiao Mo paused while putting shoes on Qibao.
What is this girl thinking!
[Or is it that you allow me to order you around and work hard for you just to gain spiritual energy? ]
A row of black lines slid down Xiao Mo's forehead.
[Alas, between people, it’s all about interests. Money makes the world go round. If this guy wasn’t after spiritual energy, he wouldn’t have bothered with me! ] Gu Qiqi muttered to himself.
Xiao Mo's face couldn't be any darker.
The little girl has no conscience.
In her heart, is this the kind of person she is?
After putting on her shoes, Xiao Mo stared at her with a gloomy gaze, which made Gu Qiqi feel a little scared.
"What, what's wrong?" Gu Qiqi looked at the boy.
"What kind of person do you think I am?" Xiao Mo suddenly asked, shocking Gu Qiqi.
"Just, just a very good person~" Gu Qiqi replied after being stunned for a second.
Xiao Mo sneered twice.
Gu Qiqi glared: "What do you mean, are you laughing at me?"
"Eat watermelon!" Xiao Mo stuffed the watermelon on the table into her hands.
Forget it, arguing with this heartless little thing will only make myself angry!
Gu Qiqi took a bite of the watermelon. It was sweet and juicy.
Gu Qiqi smiled happily.
Xiao Mo glanced at her.
Really heartless!
The two went downstairs.
In the living room on the first floor, everyone gathered around the coffee table eating watermelon!
The watermelon that the Gu family brought was very sweet. When Bai Zhengshan woke up and took a bite, he felt refreshed all over.
With his status, he could buy watermelons, but they didn't taste like this at all.
The watermelons grown by my in-laws taste the best!
"It's a pity that you are not in Beijing. It would be great if I could grow fruits and vegetables in this big yard of mine!" Bai Zhengshan said, but what came to his mind was the Gu family's vibrant vegetable garden.
He also wanted to experience the feeling of picking vegetables in the vegetable garden early in the morning. That must be a very comfortable and relaxing feeling!
