"I heard from Xiao Shuang that he's a soldier. When will he be back?"
"We can also make more dumplings!"
Gu Qiangwei pretended that she didn't say anything.
Su Qingshuang had just returned from outside. After hearing this, she stood at the kitchen door with a smile on her face. "My brother sent a message saying that he would be here on New Year's Eve, but he didn't tell me because the situation in the army is unpredictable."
"He hasn't come back yet at this hour. I feel like my brother is going to stand us up again!"
Hearing this, Su Jianbin put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Your brother is going to be a soldier. Your brother is defending our country. Being a soldier is a very hard job. Don't say such things again!"
"I was just joking. It doesn't matter if he stood me up. It doesn't matter if I can't eat dumplings today. Qiangwei will stay at our house for a few more days!"
"When my brother comes back, I can make dumplings for him, right?"
Su Qingshuang pouted, and Gu Qiangwei smiled and invited her in to make dumplings.
The three of them were making dumplings and talking inside, and He Xiulan taught them some business experience.
"Auntie is really amazing, a strong woman!" Gu Qiangwei praised. He Xiulan smiled from ear to ear, while Su Qingshuang sighed beside her.
"Why do I feel like you, Qiangwei, are more popular with my mother?"
Hearing Su Qingshuang's sour words, Gu Qiangwei reached out and hugged her shoulders, "Ouch, ouch, it's sore!"
Su Qingshuang couldn't hold back her laughter after hearing these words and burst out laughing.
They quickly finished making the dumplings and then prepared other meat dishes. Because today was New Year's Eve, in addition to the dumplings, there were three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup.
For the four of them, it was already very rich.
The sound of firecrackers popped outside. Every family would set off firecrackers when they had dinner. This was their custom during the New Year.
Su Qingshuang also pasted a red word "Fu" outside the door, which added a bit of a festive atmosphere.
There are also red window stickers on the windows, which looks festive.
They also bought juice.
As it got darker and darker, seeing that the person still hadn't returned home, everyone knew that Su Qingyi would not be back for the time being.
So I can only eat first.
"Even if your brother doesn't come back on New Year's Eve, he will be back in two days. Don't think too much!"
Su Jianbin comforted her, and Su Qingshuang pouted, "I miss my brother so much. I remember the last time I saw him was half a month ago!"
"It's time to eat. I know you miss your brother. Let's eat!"
It is indeed a pity that I can’t make it back on New Year’s Eve, but there is nothing I can do. They will start the meal soon.
This afternoon's meals were almost all prepared by Gu Qiangwei. After tasting them, everyone at the table praised them highly.
"Your cooking skills are comparable to those of the chefs in the old state-owned restaurants. Why are the dishes you make so unpalatable? I went into the kitchen to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and I ended up burning the eggs!"
Su Qingshuang stuck out her tongue and said that she really had no talent in cooking.
So stupid!
"Then I'll teach you in the future, or I can cook for you often. You can eat whatever you want. I can cook anything!"
There is nothing Gu Qiangwei can't do.
After hearing this, Su Qingshuang picked up a large chicken drumstick for her and said, "The chicken soup with wild mushrooms you made this afternoon was very delicious. I want to drink more later."
The four of them ate together, chatting while eating, and from time to time they would pick up the cups and take a sip of the juice. This New Year's Eve had a different meaning for them.
Gu Qiangwei looked at the family of three who were having dinner and smiled with satisfaction.
In my previous life, I never had the chance to eat at the same table with them because I was always busy taking care of my two nosy mothers-in-law.
I declined their invitations many times.
Who knew that his sincerity would be wasted and he would end up like that in his previous life.
If Qin Zhirou hadn't written to me, the old couple would not have told me the truth and would have let me continue to support them!
Even though they were about to die, they had no intention of telling me.
Can't you let yourself die?
How cruel.
Outside, the sound of firecrackers continued to blare. After they finished their meal, they sat inside the house, eating melon seeds, chatting, and having lunch.
This holiday was much more lively than usual. He Xiulan said that her eldest son rarely came home before, and it was too lonely with only the three of them at home.
There is one more person here today, and it seems to be a lot more lively. They all enjoy this kind of liveliness!
Su Qingshuang smiled and took Gu Qiangwei's hand, "It's mainly because I have such a wonderful partner!"
"You don't know, but we met because she helped me snatch my wallet back from a thief. Then she said she wanted to find a job, and I fell in love with her!"
"She was so powerful at the time. The thief ran past her, and most people would have ignored him, but she picked up a big wooden stick and hit the thief with it!"
When talking about Gu Qiangwei's heroic deeds in the past, He Xiulan and Su Jianbin nodded and even applauded.
Talking about the joy of doing business, both of them began to praise Gu Qiangwei.
Gu Qiangwei felt a little uncomfortable with the praise. Su Qingshuang sat aside and said something pretending to be angry, and then the two of them tried to coax her.
Su Qingshuang laughed heartily. "Mom, why did you give birth to a big brother for me before? Even though he's very tall, couldn't you give me a big sister?"
