"Okay, I'll add some flour right away." Upon hearing this, Feng Li rolled out the dough even more diligently.
"Xiaoxiao, this is my comrade-in-arms, Feng Li." Han Qiushi introduced them to each other: "This is my girlfriend, Lin Xiaoxiao."
Feng Li glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes, then looked at Han Qiushi with envy: "Hello, hello."
Lin Xiaoxiao also greeted him: "Brother Feng, hello."
Feng Li is about 170 cm tall, rather thin, and has very plain features. He has a very common face that is not memorable, but his energy and spirit clearly show that he has served in the military.
“Dali, Xiaoxiao likes spicy food just like us. When you cook, you can add more. She will definitely like your cooking.”
"I don't believe it. The day you came back, you kept praising your sister-in-law." Feng Like didn't stand on ceremony with Han Qiushi just because of his praise.
These words made everyone laugh.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao observed Feng Li working. As expected of a soldier, he was not only efficient in his work, but also organized in everything he did.
Seeing that everyone was in the kitchen, Bai Hehua came to help as well.
The Han family prepared quite a lot of ingredients today.
There were three kinds of dumpling fillings alone: pork and sauerkraut, dried shiitake mushroom, and seaweed and pork. It's clear that the Han family had prepared a lot for her to come over for dinner.
With so much filling, Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi helped wrap the dumplings together. While wrapping the white lotus flowers, Han Qiushi asked Lin Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you can eat spicy food, so please cut more chili peppers for the dipping sauce later."
"I heard from Qiushi that you like to eat more rice?"
"There's also some rice steamed in the pot. If you don't like noodles, then leave the noodles for these men."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't stand on ceremony, "No need to trouble yourself. I occasionally like to cook noodles, but in the long run, I still prefer to eat rice."
"It seems like I've been like this since I was little." She came from the apocalypse and was used to eating rice. She wouldn't get tired of eating rice all the time, but she would easily get tired of eating noodles every day.
The Han family all live in the capital and prefer noodles. You don't even need to ask; just look at how quickly they skillfully make dumplings. They must have eaten plenty of dumplings in previous years.
The group worked together, chatting casually. Lin Xiaoxiao felt the Han family's welcome and warmth; they didn't treat her like an outsider and would lend a hand whenever needed.
She even cooked one of her best dishes so everyone could taste her culinary skills.
Han's father remained relatively silent throughout, but he had experienced a lot and met many people. He had been quietly observing Lin Xiaoxiao the whole time. When he was with Bai Hehua, he couldn't help but praise, "Our son is lucky to have found Comrade Lin Xiaoxiao as his partner."
"Of course you need to tell me, otherwise why would our son only be looking for a girlfriend now?" Bai Hehua still trusted her eldest son's judgment. This girl was generous, not coy, brave, and intelligent.
Bai Hehua was overjoyed at the thought of her future grandchildren being taught by such a girl.
Whether a wife is good or not is related to the future prosperity of the family. It is said that marrying a virtuous wife will bring prosperity to three generations.
With so many people working, lunchtime will be here soon.
Once the dishes were placed on the round table, I found it was full of food. There were three stacks of dumplings, a dish of stir-fried celery and cured pork, a braised fish, a roast duck, and finally a bowl of mixed mushroom soup.
As soon as they sat down at the table, Bai Hehua greeted them warmly, "Xiaoxiao, this is your first time eating at home, please eat more."
Bai Hehua first served her a piece of fish and a roasted duck leg, showing great hospitality.
"Thank you, I can do it myself, Auntie, I won't be polite."
Lin Xiaoxiao initially had a good impression of the Han family. During their cooperation, they provided her with many conveniences, and the money and tickets they gave her were not less than what she received because she was an orphan.
Now that she's Han Qiushi's girlfriend, she's received even more care and attention.
Han Qiu also piled a lot of food onto Lin Xiaoxiao's plate, saying, "Eat whatever you want. If there's anything you don't want, just give it to me."
Lin Xiaoxiao took a few bites and found that Feng Li's cooking skills were indeed excellent. He controlled the heat very well when stir-frying the dishes, and all the dishes he cooked were very flavorful, especially the stir-fried cured pork with chili peppers, which was very delicious. Lin Xiaoxiao ate quite a few dumplings with it.
She was quite calm while eating at the Han family's house, but when they tasted the dishes cooked by Lin Xiaoxiao, they all became excited and praised Lin Xiaoxiao's cooking skills.
At first, they thought Han Qiushi was exaggerating to brag about his girlfriend.
Unexpectedly, after tasting it, everyone felt that Han Qiushi had underestimated it. Was it delicious? It was incredibly delicious.
After the meal, Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to help clean up the table, but Bai Hehua and the others stopped her and told her to go outside to drink water and chat instead.
While Bai Hehua was clearing the dishes, she called Han Qiushi over and whispered to him, "Qiushi, Xiaoxiao has finally come to the capital. She has no relatives at home, and you've already met the only teacher she's close to. Shouldn't you talk to Xiaoxiao about what's to come?"
Bai Hehua really likes Lin Xiaoxiao. Her personality suits her, and there aren't any in-law issues yet. Her eldest son will be 27 after the New Year, and it's time for him to get married.
While she can still move around, she can help the two of them take care of the children. Otherwise, when she gets older, even if she wants to help, she won't be able to.
Han Qiushi nodded heavily: "Yes, that's what I've been thinking these past two days too."
"Mom, please help me prepare for the engagement and wedding. If you don't have enough money, I'll give you some."
After Han Qiushi finished saying what he wanted to say, he washed two apples, cut them up, and let Lin Xiaoxiao and her family eat together.
After sitting for about half an hour, Lin Xiaoxiao prepared to leave. She wanted to visit her teacher and also wanted to go to the black market.
She wanted to sell all the remaining goods in the space so that she wouldn't have to deal with them so much in the future. She mainly wanted to sell them to the black market in the capital, where no matter how big the goods were, they wouldn't attract attention.
Bringing out so much stuff in a small county town, I'm not afraid of thieves, but I'm afraid of the "higher-ups" getting their eye on it. Not making money isn't the worst thing; I'm afraid of getting into trouble afterward.
After saying goodbye to them, the two brothers saw Lin Xiaoxiao out together. Han Qiulin followed them out, mainly to discuss with Lin Xiaoxiao the matter of investigating the Wen family and Zhang Xiaoming.
After the two finished handing over the work, Han Qiulin left, leaving Han Qiushi and Lin Xiaoxiao to go to the hospital together. Han Qiushi didn't stay at the hospital for long; instead, he went to find his grandfather.
He'd been back for so many days and hadn't had a proper talk with his grandfather yet. The main thing was that he wanted to marry Lin Xiaoxiao, and to show that he valued the relationship, he wanted his grandfather to be involved.
Regardless of whether Lin Xiaoxiao has any relatives, he wanted to give her the respect and attention she deserved.
