Qin Rou returned home a little later than usual today, because she went to buy duck with her colleague Xi Xiangyi. A duck was too expensive, so they bought a duck together and each took half.
Qin Rou went back humming a song with her half of the duck. After getting pregnant, she had morning sickness recently. She often vomited, had a poor appetite, and wanted to eat sour food.
In this era, you can't have whatever you want to eat, you can only be frugal and create ways to satisfy your appetite.
She really wants to eat sour plum duck!!!
Finally got half a duck today, I will make sour plum duck when I go back. This is the day when Lu Yan comes back, I will ask Lu Yan to make some dough, and wrap the sour plum duck and cucumber shreds in the dough... I am drooling just thinking about it.
——I want to eat sour plum duck. I want to eat sour plum duck. I want to eat sour plum duck.
Qin Rou's mind was full of sour plum duck. She walked to the gate of her yard, but found that there seemed to be many guests in her house today.
Three old men squatted in her yard, studying the sunflowers she planted.
Qin Rou was stunned at the door.
The three old men also found her. All three of them, who were 1.8 meters tall, stood up and looked at her:
Lu Zongyi: "Xiao Qin?"
Lao Wang: "
Xiao Qin?" Old Man He: "Xiao Qin?"
Qin Rou: "..."
"Father-in-law? Hello, two uncles..."
Suddenly seeing several tall and unfamiliar old men in the yard, Qin Rou panicked, not to mention that one of them was her father-in-law, Lu Yan's father.
Qin Rou had seen photos of Lu Yan's parents before.
It was inexplicable that she had to meet her parents while carrying a duck. Qin Rou's face flushed and she didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Lu Yan heard the noise outside and walked out of the house.
He smiled brightly: "Wife, you're back."
Qin Rou hurried over and stuffed the duck in her hand to him. She wanted to stuff herself to him. What was going on? Lu Yan's parents were here? Why didn't they inform him in advance?
Jiang Ping and Lao Wang's wife also came out. When Jiang Ping saw the daughter-in-law who had returned, her eyes lit up immediately.
She was indeed a beautiful woman. It was probably because she had just walked home and was nervous, so she was sweating a little. Her pretty little face was rosy and her beautiful eyes were blinking. Maybe it was the first time she saw the man's elders, and there was an indescribable shyness on her face.
——Her son's vision was really good.
"This is your mother-in-law and Aunt Zhang."
Qin Rou called out to her mother-in-law and Aunt Zhang. She swallowed her saliva and noticed her mother-in-law's long legs the first time she looked at Jiang Ping.
Aunt Zhang beside her mother-in-law should not be underestimated either. She is estimated to be over 1.72 meters tall.
Qin Rou: "..."
Qin Rou tried to add one centimeter to her height and said she was 1.65 meters tall.
"Come in and sit down, Lao Lu, your daughter-in-law is back."
Lu Yan's parents already knew that Qin Rou was pregnant with twins. Mother-in-law Jiang Ping held her daughter-in-law and spoke softly. Although she heard that her daughter-in-law was a hottie, she still tried to soften her voice for fear of scaring her.
"Is Lu Yan good to you?"
"Did he bully you? He was the most naughty when he was a kid..."
"How is life here?"
...
"Very good, Lu Yan is very nice..."
After Qin Rou chatted with her mother-in-law Jiang Ping for a few sentences, she finally relaxed and was not as nervous as before.
As she chatted, she also found out:
- Are my mother-in-law and I perhaps the best height match?
Compared with Lu Yan, the height difference between her and her mother-in-law Jiang Ping makes it easier to kiss.
Qin Rou found that her father-in-law Lu Zongyi looked very serious and solemn, rather dull, and didn't talk much. He just cared about her for a few words and then stopped talking. The father-in-law and mother-in-law were relatively easy to get along with. Uncle Wang and Uncle He next to them were whispering to each other, speaking their local dialect, which Qin Rou could not understand very well.
But they all seem to get along well.
With so many guests at home, a big table of rich meals must be prepared at night. Qin Rou, Lu Yan and her mother-in-law Jiang Ping were busy in the kitchen. Jiang Ping said, "Your dad said he wants to eat the steamed buns you made."
Lu Yan replied lazily.
Qin Rou: "..." So her family likes the big steamed buns made by her husband?
"Xiao Qin, you are pregnant, so don't be busy in the kitchen."
"No, no, no, I'll cook some dishes for my parents."
Jiang Ping was very happy to hear that, "Okay, okay, let me taste your child's cooking skills."
"Mom, leave the kitchen to me and my wife."
Qin Rou: "..."
"Okay, okay, I'm going out, you guys go ahead and do your work, don't tire Xiao Qin." Jiang Ping walked out, and just before she went out, she looked back and caught a glimpse of her son kissing the woman's face.
Tsk tsk, he really thinks that his old mother is a nuisance.
When Lao Lu outside saw her, he asked, "Why did you come out?"
"Let the young couple talk in private."
Lao Wang next door wanted to poke out his own eyes, "You father and son, damn, you really are father and son, this Xiao Lu is definitely your biological son, your own child."
"Just the same as when you were young."
"Pretending, so good at pretending!"
It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. Ever since their wife Xiao Qin came back, it's as if she could change her face. Her voice has become softer, and she calls her wife all the time. If these old men hadn't watched this little thorn grow up since he was a child, and listened to how he made his father so angry, they would really think he was a good-tempered and promising young man.
"You, old Lu, you are so good at pretending." Pretending to be deep in front of your daughter-in-law, have you forgotten your previous boastful look?
Lu Zongyi said calmly: "You should act like an elder in front of the younger generation."
"Look at you, the elders don't set a good example, and you will encounter a quarrel as soon as you go there."
"Look at how well my son does, how much he loves his daughter-in-law, and everyone in his family compound says that he loves his daughter-in-law."
This made Lu Zongyi feel a little numb. They had just asked other family members about their son and daughter-in-law. As a result, Mrs. Yang said that Chief of Staff Lu loved his wife very much. The couple was very affectionate and they had never heard of them quarreling. When Lu Yan went out to sea, the couple hugged each other for a long time at the dock when he came back. The captain next to them teased them and refused to separate...
"You are Chief of Staff Lu's father. Does your Lu family have any unmarried son?"
Lu Zongyi: "..."
Lao Wang: "..."
"Comrade Lao Wang, my Lu family may really thank you." Otherwise, how could his son find a daughter-in-law that suits his heart?
Hehe.
He was still forcing his son to get married and find a partner half a year ago, but in the blink of an eye, his son got married and found the girl he liked. One of them is handsome and the other is beautiful. One is a military officer and the other passed the exam to become a broadcaster. Now his daughter-in-law is pregnant with two babies.
——Is there such a beautiful thing?
"Next time I really want to invite you and Lao Jiang to my house for a drink, I will open two bottles of good aged wine to treat you, how about the bottle you mentioned before?"
Lao Wang was really not happy: "Didn't you say that even if you smashed, threw away, or threw this bottle of wine into the sea, you would never open it for me to drink?"
"This is a different time. I'm going to have two grandchildren soon. Come and have fun with me."
Lao Wang: "Get lost."
Five guests came to the house. Jiang Ping and Lao Wang's wife came to help cook a large table of dishes. Lu Yan steamed a lot of big steamed buns, and Qin Rou prepared the stuffing. Outside, the three old men Lu, Wang, and He got together to make dumplings. Thanks to their plenty of rolling pins, they all had one in their hands.
The duck Qin Rou brought back was eventually made into sour plum duck, and she also killed a chicken and made abalone, conch and chicken casserole. Qin Rou had no other hobbies, but she liked to collect clay pots, so she made shrimp vermicelli casserole and salted fish
, minced meat and eggplant casserole, which looked particularly beautiful when served in a clay pot. She also cooked sea cucumber with scallions, steamed grouper, and stir-fried squid with loofah. Other dishes included steamed blanched prawns, mantis shrimp, blue crabs and oysters.
The loofah and eggplant were freshly picked from the yard. Qin Rou also had a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in the yard, so she picked some winged beans and lettuce and made stir-fried winged beans and lettuce with oyster sauce.
Later, she cooked shrimp meatball soup.
Mother-in-law Jiang Ping made meat fire cakes. Qin Rou smelled very good. Jiang Ping let her taste one. It was a bit like a pancake, but the outside was fragrant and crispy, and it was dipped in white sesame seeds. The texture of the crispy pancake and the white sesame seeds was particularly good when chewed together. There was tender and juicy meat filling inside.
Qin Rou took two bites and liked it very much. She smiled and shared it with Lu Yan. Lu Yan kissed her secretly while eating.
There is one bad thing about having guests at home. You can't kiss your daughter-in-law anytime and anywhere.
My daughter-in-law has a child, so other things can only be rubbed. Now kisses have to be done secretly.
"Don't kiss randomly, it's greasy."
Qin Rou smiled and pushed his handsome face away, and motioned him to lower his head and tiptoe to kiss his lips. Lu Yan deepened the kiss. Qin Rou didn't dare to kiss him for too long and quickly pushed him away.
After pushing him away, she felt a little guilty, took a bite of the meat huoshao, and tore off a piece and stuffed it into Lu Yan's mouth.
Lu Yan looked at her and smiled, raised his hand and wiped off the sesame seeds on her face with his thumb. When the couple finished eating a piece of meat huoshao, Lu Yan was about to kiss his wife again, but when he turned around, he caught a figure.
Qin Rou didn't notice anything yet, Lu Yan let her go, turned around and walked out, standing in front of Jiang Ping.
Lu Yan: "...Have you forgotten that you are just an old military doctor, not from the reconnaissance battalion?"
"Son, have you forgotten that when I was young, your mother was a military doctor in the reconnaissance battalion."
Lu Yan: "..."
Jiang Ping: "Tsk, so clingy."
The relationship between her youngest son and daughter-in-law is so good, and they, as parents, are relieved that her child has finally met a girl he likes.
It seems that the bottle of wine in their family, Old Lu, must be opened for Old Wang next door.
Otherwise, how could her son find such a satisfactory daughter-in-law?
Qin Rou saw Jiang Ping outside, how could she not know something, her face was red, and after that, when Lu Yan asked her to kiss him again, she was unwilling.
Lu Yan: "..."
- I really don't welcome people to visit my house.
Jiang Ping looked at Qin Rou and smiled: "Is the meat stew made by mother-in-law delicious?"
Qin Rou nodded shyly: "..."
Lu Yan glared at his mother: "Don't bully my wife."
"Okay, okay, you really know how to protect people."
"The little pepper you married is really not spicy, just like the little sweet peppers you planted at the door. This yellow pepper is a small sweet pepper, right? I seem to see the yellow chili sauce. I'll take it out for your father and Uncle Wang to taste."
Qin Rou was about to say: "No——" This yellow pepper is not a small sweet pepper.
Lu Yan directly blocked her mouth.
After separating, Qin Rou looked at Lu Yan: "You are so bad."
Lu Yan laughed.
The couple had been cheated by yellow peppers before. Qin Rou didn't know what kind of pepper she was planting before. After she tasted it, she cried for most of the day because of the spiciness.
After crying, Qin Rou pretended to trick Lu Yan, telling him that the yellow pepper was sweet, which tricked Lu Yan severely.
Now...
"You will be beaten when you go out."
Although the yellow pepper is spicy, it is very delicious when made into yellow pepper sauce and used as a seasoning in soup.
After going out, the people outside were really tricked, mainly Lao Lu and Lao Wang.
Lao Lu and Lao Wang: "¥%¥%#¥..."
They are not very good at eating spicy food.
All the dishes were served. Except for Qin Rou, everyone present was from Shandong Province. Most of the dishes were cooked by Qin Rou. Jiang Ping watched from the side and found that her daughter-in-law's cooking skills were really good.
"Try it, it's the cooking of my daughter-in-law."
Comrade Lu Zongyi took a liking to the pot of vermicelli with shrimps at first sight. It smelled so fresh and fragrant. The shrimps and scallops inside were fried in oil and tasted crispy. The vermicelli had absorbed all the sauce. The vermicelli dyed with the sauce was refreshing, dry and fragrant, and sprinkled with chopped green onions and crushed salted egg yolks. It was really delicious.
It's a bit like an ant climbing a tree, but it's more delicious than an ant climbing a tree.
He found that his daughter-in-law's cooking was really beautiful, with bright colors and beautiful colors, which stimulated people's lips and tongues to secrete saliva continuously.
The only problem is that the portion is too small and not generous enough.
Such a vermicelli stew was picked up by the chopsticks of the people around. These old men can really eat!! The one
who eats the most is his son-Lu Yan.
You move too fast.
Qin Rou prefers sour plum duck. Her mother-in-law Jiang Ping praised her sour plum duck. It tastes sweet and sour, with crispy skin, tender duck meat, and rich sauce. The delicious sauce shines on the crispy duck skin, and a few green corianders sprinkled on it make the duck meat more attractive.
Lu Yan did not care about eating for himself, but diligently peeled shrimps and oysters for his daughter-in-law. Qin Rou is pregnant now, so she is not suitable for eating crabs, but she is suitable for steamed and blanched shrimps and oysters to supplement nutrition and high protein.
"Did your wife grow the vegetables?"
"They were all picked in the yard."
Lu Zongyi looked at the two plates of beautiful stir-fried winged beans and lettuce with oyster sauce, and was really hesitant.
He didn't dare to eat it.
He was afraid it would be bitter.
As a result, he saw Lao Wang next to him eating a large chopstick of winged beans, so he quickly tried it. It was so crisp and sweet when it entered his mouth. It was so damn delicious. The lettuce next to it was even more fragrant.
They were all used to eating seafood. It was the easiest to get sick of eating seafood alone. It was so refreshing to have some green and beautiful vegetables on the side. It was a heavenly life to be able to eat such crisp and delicious dishes in this "cold winter month".
In the end, the winged beans were very popular. It happened that Qin Rou had a large patch of winged beans hanging in the yard at this time, so she picked a lot and stir-fried several plates.
All the dishes on the table were swept away, not even the big steamed buns were left.
But they were really good eaters.
After Lu Zongyi finished eating, he felt happy and sad. He originally thought that his son came to the small island in the south to suffer, but when he arrived, he found that this kid was holding a beautiful daughter-in-law, who was also a good cook. The most important thing was that the vegetables grown by his daughter-in-law were sweet!!!
Fragrant and sweet!! After the meal, he also tasted some washed and dried small tomatoes, almost one in a mouthful.
They are obviously father and son, why are their daughters-in-law so different?
Lu Zongyi washed a dried small cucumber and found that the cucumbers grown by his daughter-in-law were also fresh and juicy, and tasted especially delicious.
Compared to eating pickled vegetables in the winter, fresh vegetables are more delicious.
Lao Lu, Lao Wang and Lao He, three old men, sat under a thatched umbrella in the yard to enjoy the breeze.
Lao Lu sighed sadly: "Recalling the glorious past years."
"My youngest son has married and become a father. I am really old, old..."
"Ah..."
Lao Wang quickly sprayed him: "Don't pretend here, you just want me to envy you, I will never!"
This is the last stubbornness of Comrade Lao Wang.
Lu Zongyi felt bitter: "..."
I envy my son too.
At night, my parents-in-law and Mr. Wang and Mr. He all stayed at home. Their house was big enough and they had several beds. They didn't even need quilts because it wasn't too cold. The military coats they wore before were useless here.
It was obviously the coldest month of winter!
Qin Rou lay on the bed, and Lu Yan got on the bed and held her in his arms. Qin Rou was still thinking about how they ate steamed buns neatly at dinner just now, and she was so out of place.
Then she thought of another sad fact - she was the shortest in the family! ! The shortest! ! !
Looking at the height of Lu Yan's parents, you know that his brothers and sisters are not that short, and his second sister-in-law is said to be... let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it, she is the shortest in the family, petite, cute, and like a little bird.
Mother-in-law Jiang Ping also said that she wanted to take a photo with her, and when they stand up to take a family photo in the future, she will be the center and the shortest in the family.
After she has children and the children grow up, she will still be the shortest in the family? ? ! ! !
Qin Rou suddenly remembered a sentence: "I am not here to break up this family, I am here to join this family."
Lu Yan: "......?"
