“She’s a little over twenty, no rush. Lu He is currently in the prime of her career and is taking the medical licensing exam. Don’t let these things distract her,” Shen Qiaoyue reminded Lu Chen.
"I know." Lu Chen was just upset. His younger sister had grown up and was surrounded by a lot of women.
"Uncle Xu wants to introduce his child to Lu He. Have you met him?" Shen Qiaoyue took a bite of porridge and then asked Lu Chen curiously.
"Never seen it before," Lu Chen replied with a serious expression.
“Uncle Xu’s child was raised by my father. My father didn’t object. He’s coming back for the New Year. We can let them try to get along. There’s no need to expose it. If it doesn’t work out, then so be it!” Shen Qiaoyue had recently been talked about by Yu Qingce, who wanted to give their son a chance. “I’ve seen the photos. He looks pretty good.”
"When you saw my photo back then, you had a pretty good impression of me!" Lu Chen asked Shen Qiaoyue with a smile.
"Fine, if you don't want to, then forget it!"
If you don't want to, just say so; don't make fun of her about it.
"You're no better off, all filthy!"
The young couple knew how to expose each other's shortcomings.
Lu Chen lowered his head and continued eating.
“Dad also called me and said he wanted the two of them to meet during the Chinese New Year. He said he wouldn’t introduce them to each other, but just let them try being friends.”
Lu Chen figured that since they had already spoken, he couldn't refuse.
I know that Xu Feiminghe is very outstanding. He is now a battalion commander and works under He Ping.
Lu Chen also wanted to see what this person looked like.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Lu Chen's gloomy expression and remained silent.
As people grow up, they inevitably face the process of being pressured to get married.
Shen Qiaoyue knew that Lu Chen did not object for two reasons.
Children raised in such families are bound to be good, and they will know each other well, which will prevent Lu He from blindly encountering people he doesn't know and whose background he doesn't know in the future.
Shen Qiaoyue actually preferred that Lu He find someone herself, someone who was suitable for her.
It's just that it's an arrangement made by the elders, and it's really hard to refuse. But at least we can respect each other and not point it out. It's okay to try getting along.
"We still need to ask Lu He what he thinks. We also need to know if Lu He has feelings for someone or if he has someone he likes. If he doesn't, then we can talk about it. But if he does, then we'll be playing matchmaker, which isn't appropriate." Shen Qiaoyue thought it best to respect and ask Lu He's opinion first.
Lu Chen added, "I asked, but there's no answer."
Shen Qiaoyue frowned and looked at Lu Chen, complaining, "If a boy like you asks Lu He, that's how she'll answer. Your tone was so fierce, how could she dare to answer yes?"
Lu Chen didn't speak. When he made the call, his tone was indeed a bit off. He was angry that Duan Jiahe was actually coveting his sister.
He angrily drank two more mouthfuls of porridge.
Shen Qiaoyue glanced at Lu Chen helplessly a few times.
After finishing her meal, Shen Qiaoyue was too tired and lay down to rest again.
After washing the dishes, Lu Chen went back to work at the military base.
The house was too quiet, and Shen Qiaoyue slept until after 3 p.m., having slept too much.
Shen Qiaoyue got up wearing thick clothes and felt a cold wind as she stepped out of the room.
A light drizzle begins to fall from the sky; this kind of rain is the coldest.
At this time, Shen Qiaoyue had nothing to do, so she went into the kitchen to start a fire and cook.
Shen Qiaoyue came in and opened the cupboard where the bowls were kept. There was a large basin filled with meat.
By this time, she had already decided what to eat for dinner.
Make a bone broth, and invite Liu Xinlan, Jiang Jinyao, and a few others over for dinner tonight.
Start simmering this soup. Put the pork in a large pot of cold water and fry the fatty pork to render the fat.
Once she got busy, Shen Qiaoyue didn't feel cold anymore. She quickly fried the oil, found a jar to store it in, washed it clean, wiped it dry, and waited for the oil to cool down before putting it in. In winter, oil cools down quickly.
After the lard is ready, cut the pork belly into a large piece, add some rock sugar and stir-fry until melted, then stir-fry the pork belly until it is browned, and finally add water to stew.
The best cut of meat is one with a good balance of lean and fat. Shen Qiaoyue knew that Lu Chen loved braised pork, but she preferred braised spare ribs.
Today, Shen Qiaoyue also went all out, making both braised pork and braised spare ribs, filling a whole big pot.
Halfway through cooking the dish, Shen Qiaoyue forgot to prepare the main course. So she took out the stewed soup, put it in a rice cooker, added an appropriate amount of cold water, and then added rice after the water boiled.
The family had bought ten catties of rice before, and there wasn't much left. Shen Qiaoyue cooked the rest.
While cooking the dishes, I also cooked rice. Deep-fried vegetables are the most fragrant when stir-fried.
When the food was almost cooked, Jiang Jinyao came over.
"What delicious food are you cooking?" Jiang Jinyao brought over the steamed buns she had made. Yesterday, the family compound slaughtered a pig, and Jiang Jinyao bought several pounds of meat, fried it, so it would keep longer. She cut it into small pieces and chopped it into filling to make steamed buns. She was thinking of bringing some over to Shen Qiaoyue's family.
The aroma of meat filled the air as soon as you entered.
"You've come at the right time. Let's eat here later. I made braised pork and braised ribs, and I also made some soup." Shen Qiaoyue was thinking of calling someone and then making a phone call to Xinlan's hospital to ask her to come over for dinner that evening.
"Yaoyao, what are you doing?"
Before Jiang Jinyao could even speak, Liu Xinlan, who had just returned from get off work, saw Jiang Jinyao standing guard at the kitchen door of Shen Qiaoyue.
Jiang Jinyao looked at Liu Xinlan holding an umbrella and asked, "Xinlan, are you off work?"
Upon hearing Liu Xinlan's voice, Shen Qiaoyue, who had just left, watched Liu Xinlan walk towards her door and said, "Xinlan, you've come at the right time. Come and have dinner with us."
