Chapter 305: New Year’s Eve Dinner Made by My Beloved Wife New Year’s Eve Dinner Made by My Beloved Wife, How Wonderful…
Sick people are very fragile. Yao Zhizhi didn't think much about it. After he had been nagged for a while, she quickly helped him drink the medicine.
Qi Changxiao was incredibly obedient, opening his mouth whenever he was told to, lying down whenever he was told to. After Yao Zhizhi took away the medicine bowl, she handed him a handful of sweet dates. Qi Changxiao watched her silently, eating them while recalling that terrifying dream.
At the end of the dream, a person appeared looking for Zhizhi. Judging from the way that person was being beaten and scolded, it was most likely Yao Ningning.
So what Yao Taotao said was right. Once upon a time, Yao Ningning was the one who had the best relationship with Zhizhi.
But precisely because of this, Yao Ningning's concealment is unforgivable. Of course, she also had her own difficulties. She was afraid of being beaten. For someone who has been abused for a long time to learn to resist is harder than climbing a mountain.
But as Yao Zhizhi's spouse, Qi Changxiao would naturally look at the problem from her perspective.
Since you are my best sister, and since we are both abused by our parents, you should be on the same page with me and help me escape, right?
Moreover, because we are good sisters, as long as you help me, I will definitely help you once I escape.
Can't you even understand this? Yao Ningning is really cowardly and stupid. It's really infuriating.
Of course, there is not much point in holding her responsible. After all, the ones who should be blamed the most for the whole incident are Yao Erdan and Wang Fang.
Qi Changxiao silently swallowed a sweet date. His mouth felt sweet, but his heart was filled with a hint of bitterness - Zhizhi had a very hard childhood.
A dream caused by falling into the water made him truly feel the helplessness and despair, but at the same time, it also made him appreciate his wife's vigorous vitality more and more - fate kissed me with bitterness, but I struggled to stand up, broke the cage of fate, and gave her a loud slap in the face in return.
The death of Yao Erdan and Wang Fang was like a beautiful slap in the face, and now, the admission letter in her hand is like silent applause.
Qi Changxiao looked at the busy woman coming in and out, and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably. From now on, run towards the broad road with flowers all the way, Zhizhi!
At this moment, Yao Zhizhi obviously had nothing to do with flowers or brocade - if the vegetables in her hands bloomed flowers, it could barely be considered as such, but the apron she was wearing obviously had nothing to do with "brocade".
But she was very happy, and even when she was surrounded by smoke while cooking, she enjoyed it.
It is naturally important to reunite with my eldest brother and others in the Northeast, but it is also important to rush back and take care of Qi Changxiao personally until his fever subsides.
Two things were placed on both ends of the scale, and she had made her choice.
As expected, once an adult has a family, sisters and brothers have to stand aside.
Yao Zhizhi has no regrets. She still has a long life ahead of her. Reform and opening up will soon begin, the economy will take off rapidly, and civil aviation will enter an unprecedented period of prosperity. It will then be much easier to go to the Northeast, unlike now, when she needs to beg for help from everyone before she can buy a plane ticket.
She was also lucky that the Northeast had a developed industry and its civil aviation industry was ahead of other regions in the country. Otherwise, she would not have been able to rush back. By the time the train slowly came back, she would have had a heart attack.
After making lunch, she went into the room and took a look. Xingxing and Yueyue were sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the comic book given by Sister Dandan in their hands, reading it with relish.
Yao Zhizhi smiled and knocked on the door frame: "It's time for dinner."
Qi Changxiao quickly got up: "What's the twenties today?"
"Today is New Year's Eve." Yao Zhizhi wiped her hands on her apron, came over to help him light up, touched his forehead, and it seemed that he was still a little hot. She was worried and took out the thermometer: "Lean against it and measure it. After you measure it, put on your clothes. I'll go serve the meal. Xingxing, come here and help me with the chopsticks."
"Mom is here!" Xingxing quickly stuffed the comic book into her sister's hands, jumped out of bed, put on her little cotton shoes, and ran to the kitchen to help.
Yueliang was still young and couldn't help much, so she simply threw away the comic book and threw herself on her father. She touched her father's forehead and felt that he still felt a little hot. She straightened her body and touched her forehead against her father's.
Sure enough, he still had a slight fever. Little Moon muttered, "Dad, you're so stupid. You get sick when Mom is not around. Luckily, you and Mom were admitted to the same university, otherwise, would Dad be sick every day?"
Hahaha, Qi Changxiao smiled, picked up the little darling, and kissed him: "Did Mommy cry on the way?"
"No, Mom was reading a book the whole way. She was very quiet." Little Moon thought for a moment and decided to complain to her father. "But the aunt sitting next to us is so annoying. Mom was just reading a book and I didn't bother her, but she kept talking nonstop."
"What did she say?" Qi Changxiao didn't expect to meet such a strange person on a plane, and was a little curious.
Little Moon tilted her head, pinched her throat, and said in a serious tone, "Hey, it's only been a few hours on the plane, and you're reluctant to put down the book in your hand. I guess you're a university teacher, right?"
Qi Changxiao asked again: "Did mom pay any attention to her?"
Little Moon shook her head proudly. "Of course not. Mom doesn't bother to pay attention to people like that. She just continued reading seriously." The aunt, embarrassed, came over to take a look and started to be sarcastic again. "Hey, sister, you're reading an English book. Do you understand it? You don't have a dictionary with you. Why don't you come back with me after we land and I'll lend you one?"
Qi Changxiao was so angry just by listening to it that he couldn't help but frown: "That aunt is a psychopath."
"That's what Mom said too!" Little Moon immediately started to parrot, "Mom scolded her directly. Are you crazy? What do you care what I read? It's your family's plane? You're crazy!"
Qi Changxiao was relieved. As expected of his wife, she was very capable. He continued to ask, "What about that aunt? Did she quarrel with mom?"
"They didn't argue. The grandmother she was with said something to her. I don't know if it was her mother or someone else, but she didn't dare to talk back and just sat down obediently." Xiaoyue thought for a moment and added, "When the grandmother spoke, her voice was gentle and soft. She seemed like a very nice person."
"Really? Did she apologize to her mother?" Qi Changxiao had no way of inferring the other party's identity based on this one characteristic. However, those who could afford to take a plane these days were definitely not ordinary people. She must be a small leader of some unit, otherwise, the young woman would not have such a condescending attitude.
Fortunately, these small leaders pay more attention to social influence, so they generally don’t want to cause trouble outside. An apology can calm the situation, so why not do it?
Xiaoyue's answer confirmed his guess: "She apologized. She said she was transferred here from the Northeast for work. She happened to have a relative here whom she hadn't seen for many years, so she decided to come over and celebrate the New Year together."
"Really? What kind of work?" Qi Changxiao took his temperature, took out the thermometer, but didn't look at it.
Little Moon snatched it away, carefully found the scale, and read, "37.6 degrees Celsius, a low-grade fever. Dad, you have to keep taking the medicine, or Mom will get worried."
"Yeah, okay." Qi Changxiao smiled and threw the mercury back, put the thermometer in the box and put it away. It just so happened that Yao Zhizhi had finished making arrangements and was calling them father and daughter to go out for dinner.
He then asked Yao Zhizhi, "Daughter said you met a psychopath on the plane?"
"Well, the aunt next to her apologized for her." Yao Zhizhi handed over the chopsticks. "You have a fever, so the food is relatively light. Just make do with it. I haven't cooked in several years."
"Anything you cook is delicious." Qi Changxiao smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and tasted a bite of the steamed bream. Isn't it good? There's plenty of onion, ginger, and garlic, and it doesn't smell fishy at all. Instead, it's very delicious. He picked up the meat from the belly and gave it to the mother and her two children, while he picked the tail instead.
Yao Zhizhi backhanded the fish belly and handed it to him again: "You already have a fever, and you're still trying to play Kong Rong giving away his pears to me? Eat it quickly, the fish is nutritious, it will make you feel better faster."
Qi Changxiao had no choice but to open his mouth and eat. It was so delicious to have the New Year’s Eve dinner made by his beloved wife.
Hey, wait, today is New Year's Eve? Qi Changxiao was confused by the fever and asked, "Where are our mother and Uncle Ning?"
"Our mother also has a fever. She has been in meetings for several days in a row, and we don't have heating here. She is old after all. The meeting room is so big and empty, it would be strange if she didn't catch a cold. Uncle Ning is guarding her by the bed. I will accompany you to see them after dinner." Yao Zhizhi originally wanted to bring her parents-in-law's New Year's Eve dinner, but Uncle Ning didn't let her.
The old man said that Changxiao had a fever because he caught a cold and was not contagious. But it was not certain about my mother-in-law. This winter was particularly cold and many people in the meeting room were coughing and having runny noses. She might have been infected.
There are two children at home, so it’s better to stay away from them.
Qi Changxiao sighed silently: "Our mother is indeed old, but she is a martyr's family. Although her monthly pension will be cancelled after remarriage, her work benefits will remain unchanged. She can apply for early retirement and just stick with it for two more years."
"Retire early? You mean, at the age of fifty?" Yao Zhizhi expressed doubt.
Qi Changxiao nodded: "Yes, my mother is only the director of the district police station, so early retirement is not a big problem."
"That's not bad. It's pretty hard to work until the age of fifty." After all, he's a policeman. There's chaos and gossip all day long, which is really exhausting.
However, Qi Changxiao didn't say anything final. He thought for a moment and added, "Of course, the premise is that our mother doesn't encounter another case like Lao Hu before she retires. If she accidentally makes another contribution, it's hard to say."
It’s better not to establish it, it’s quite scary. However, Yao Zhizhi knew that her mother-in-law was also ambitious, otherwise she would not have been so determined in the first place.
So, let’s not say this anymore. Just let everything go with the flow and respect my mother-in-law’s choice.
After dinner, the family of four went to the front and greeted Tang Fengyuan, who had a fever, through the courtyard gate. After returning, they stayed up together to celebrate the New Year. Because there were few TV programs available locally, Yao Zhizhi had never bought a TV.
We can only gather around the radio and listen to the broadcast.
At the entrance of the alley in front, Yao Miaomiao also went into the kitchen and made dinner for Yang Shuming. The couple had been remarried for several years, and this was the first time they were alone together to celebrate the New Year. It felt quite special.
The year ends with the sound of firecrackers, and the footsteps of a new era are approaching.
At the same time, the mother and daughter went straight to their uncle's house after getting off the plane and talked about what happened on the plane at the dinner table.
Director Gao put down his chopsticks, frowned, and asked, "You guys are just sitting on a plane for no reason. Why are you provoking someone for no reason? Do you know his name?"
"I know, her name is written in the book." The arrogant woman said proudly, "What's her name Yao Zhizhi? It's a double word, trying to be cute."
When Director Gao heard this, he thought, "Oh no, I've offended someone."
He quickly asked for details, slamming his chopsticks in anger as he scolded, "You're so confused, kid! This Yao Zhizhi is the editor-in-chief of Yicheng Publishing House. You could have offended anyone else, but her. After the Lunar New Year, your mother will go to work at the publishing house. Won't you be bullied?"
