Zheng Gan spent almost all the next few days cleaning. It was at this time that he realized that a house that was too big was not a good thing. Fortunately, he forcibly dragged Lin Hao and Jiang Feng over, otherwise he would have been exhausted to death.
"I'm not saying anything bad about your brother, but can't you just hire a cleaner? You've already made so much money, there's no need to be so stingy, right?" Lin Hao said very dissatisfiedly.
"Cleaning?" Zheng Gan was stunned, and then his face changed drastically. He had completely forgotten about the Qing family company. "Damn it, I completely forgot about it. What the hell have I been doing these days?"
Lin Hao and Jiang Feng almost fainted from anger when they heard that he had forgotten about this matter. Seeing that there was only a small place left to clean up, they were simply in tears.
After being busy for a long time, I told them that I forgot to hire a professional cleaning company to clean the house. What’s the difference between this and murder?
After the little episode, Zheng Gan came to Lin Hao's house with a licking face and found Wu Sujuan who was busy.
"There's something wrong with the look in your eyes, kid. Are you trying to get something for free again?" Wu Sujuan was very familiar with this look in his eyes. In the early years, Zheng Gan would look at her like this whenever there was a festival or when his family cooked something delicious.
"Well, Auntie, we are all family." Zheng Gan had already laid the groundwork. "Sister Xin is pregnant, and I don't want her to cook. My cooking skills are not good enough, so I thought I'd ask you for help."
"I don't want much, just give me a pot of fried hairtail."
"A basin!" Wu Sujuan glared, "Are you going to feed the pigs?"
According to their local customs, every household will prepare some fried food during the Chinese New Year, such as fried hairtail fish, fried meatballs, etc.
Zheng Gan had been staying at Lin Hao's house for several years, so he naturally knew how good Wu Sujuan was at frying hairtail fish, so he came here when he smelled the scent, intending to take advantage of it as soon as possible.
"Okay, you really know how to pick the time. Take it away. Everything is ready." Wu Sujuan brought out a big pot full of fried hairtail fish from the inner room.
Zheng Gan's eyes lit up immediately. He took a piece and put it in his mouth, then said with a look of enjoyment, "Yes, this is the taste. It's so delicious."
"Get out of here, get out of here quickly and don't delay my work." Seeing his desperate look, Wu Sujuan kicked him out of the house without any courtesy.
The fried hairtail was in hand, and there were still some fried meatballs left. Zheng Gan's eyes rolled and he came up with a plan.
He first went home to put the hairtail away, then secretly came to his father-in-law's house, carefully investigated, and found that Qiao Zhengdong was not there. He breathed a sigh of relief and strode in.
"Mom, what are you busy with?" Zheng Gan asked with a licking face.
"Agan." Qiao's mother turned around and saw that it was her son-in-law, with a smile on her face, "I'm frying meatballs here. I'll give you some to take back."
"Hehe, that's great. Xinxin has some morning sickness and can't go into the kitchen. Thank you so much, Mom." Zheng Gan didn't expect that he would hit the jackpot by accident, so he quickly took advantage of the situation and took it away.
"That's right. We are all family. Just tell me what you want to eat and I will make it for you." Qiao's mother was very satisfied with her son-in-law, both openly and secretly.
She is not like Qiao Zhengdong, who appears cold on the surface but is very concerned in his heart.
He says one thing and means another.
Zheng Gan returned home with a bowl of fried meatballs with a happy smile on his face. He couldn't wait to make a plate of them and have them together with fried hairtail as lunch today.
"You eat it now, why don't you wait until tomorrow?" Qiao Xin scolded.
Normally, these fried foods are eaten on the 29th day of the lunar year, but I didn’t expect this glutton to start eating them now.
"Oh, you don't know my wife, I have been craving this for many years." Zheng Gan ate voraciously without any manners.
During the six years he was away, he only returned to the village once. He stayed at home for two days and then hurried back. It was because of his lack of confidence at that time. Now, his mood and state of mind are different. When he eats this delicacy he has been longing for, the taste is different.
Qiao Xin felt very uncomfortable when she heard what he said. Not only him, but she herself was also depressed for six years. Thinking about the past and looking at the present, it is really completely different.
......
Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Zheng Gan got up at five o'clock. He was responsible for pasting couplets. From today on, the New Year celebrations officially began. Unlike in the south, New Year's Eve here is even more important than New Year's Day.
You can tell from the taste.
By eight o'clock, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Lin Gang and his wife, Lin Hao and Jiang Feng all came to his house to prepare to celebrate the New Year.
This is one of the advantages of marrying locally. During the Chinese New Year, both sets of parents can gather at the child’s home to celebrate the New Year together, which is much better than marrying far away.
Zheng Gan prepared very carefully for this New Year's Eve dinner. After putting up the couplets, he went straight to the county and almost cleared out all the precious seafood in Dongqiang Seafood Store. Wang Dongqiang was so angry that he screamed. If it wasn't for the fact that today was New Year's Eve, he might have beaten him up.
After grabbing the seafood, Zheng Gan went to the beef and mutton supermarket and robbed the best beef and mutton again. The marbled beef and other items were as cheap as if they were free.
If he hadn't scanned the code to pay at the last moment, the supermarket owner would have thought he was going to make a purchase for free.
"Wow, brother, you are so extravagant. These things today must be worth at least 18,000 yuan." Lin Hao exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the big and small bags of things.
"Eighteen thousand? You really look down on me." Zheng Gan rolled his eyes. Not to mention anything else, these seafood would cost almost twenty thousand yuan, not to mention the top-quality marbled beef.
"You spend the money you earn like this and don't know how to save." Qiao Zhengdong continued to perform steadily and criticized him.
"Dad, isn't it the New Year? Besides, Xinxin just got pregnant and needs to supplement her nutrition well." Zheng Gan laughed when he heard that.
In fact, everyone knows that Zheng Gan is using Qiao Xin as an excuse. Now that his life is better, he definitely hopes to have a good time together during the New Year.
Without Jia Teng's help today, the task of cooking fell to Wu Sujuan and Qiao's mother. They took the ingredients they bought into the kitchen and started cooking.
The men set up a mahjong table in the living room and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
By the way, in their place, the New Year’s Eve dinner is not at night, but at noon. Usually, a sumptuous meal will be prepared at noon to celebrate the New Year, and in the evening they just eat dumplings.
