afternoon.
Su Jinyan only slept for an hour before getting up and busying himself.
She first roasted two legs of lamb over anthracite, then went to the post office and called her grandparents' home and her aunt's and aunt's offices.
There were a lot of things, so Sun could only wash and cut them. She also needed Aunt Yang, the maid at her grandmother's house, to come over early to help.
Because Xin Huimin came back, not only did grandparents and Aunt Yang arrive early, but also my aunt Zhang Fengxia, my younger sister Su Yaqin, my younger brother-in-law Chen Qirong, and my older cousin Chen Bingnian all took leave and arrived at around four o'clock.
Su Jinyan called Xin Huimin up, and her aunt and younger sister-in-law took Xin Huimin to sit in the yard, eating skewers and chatting, which was very lively.
Su Jinyan was pulled by Aunt Yang to learn how to make side dishes and pickles.
I didn't realize it before, but after this experience, I realized that there is so much knowledge involved in making a simple dish. No wonder the sauerkraut and radishes pickled by Sun were soft and wilted, and easily spoiled.
For more than an hour, Aunt Yang taught Su Jinyan how to make hot and sour cucumber strips, sour radish, spicy radish strips, crispy radish strips, pickled spicy cabbage, sauerkraut, hot peppers, bitter herbs, and so on.
While she was studying, Aunt Yang also pickled a jar of crispy radishes, a jar of spicy cabbage, and a jar of hot and sour cucumbers for her.
The ingredients were all brought by Grandma Su when she came. She thought that since it was autumn, she wanted to pickle some side dishes for her granddaughter, so she asked the logistics department to send a lot of cucumbers, radishes and cabbages.
After pickling the sauerkraut, Su Jinyan felt uncomfortable eating only barbecue, so he cooked a big pot of fish, shrimp and vegetable porridge.
After the porridge was cooked, when I went out of the yard, I saw Su Yaqin starting to grill.
"Yanyan, come and have some grilled shrimp."
"Well, wait, let me put the grilled fish on first."
Without an oven, the grilled fish always feels a little lacking in taste. After frying the yellow croaker, she puts it in various sauces and side dishes and bakes it in the oven. She made it once last time and she thought the taste was average, but everyone thought it was delicious and fresh.
Yes, among the cookie-cutter braised fish and sweet and sour fish, this spicy grilled fish is unique.
At around seven o'clock, Su Chengguo, his uncle Su Chengyun and his eldest brother Su Jinshu arrived at the same time in three cars.
Three military green SUVs stopped at the door, instantly shocking the old men and women who were enjoying the cool air at the entrance of the alley. However, they only stopped for less than a minute, and the drivers of my uncle and Su's father's cars drove away.
They also don’t want to cause trouble for their daughter/niece.
At around 8:30, when Chen Bingqi, Chen Bingyuan and Chen Meijun came back, everyone had already started eating.
However, everyone tacitly agreed not to ask about their business. The three of them looked at so many people and greeted them one by one.
Chen Meijun was more familiar with Zhang Fengxia and Su Yaqin. After greeting them and asking a few questions, she automatically withdrew to become an invisible barbecuer. When she saw Su Jinshu out of the corner of her eye, her face couldn't help but turn red, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened a lot.
I despise myself in my heart for feeling something I shouldn't have felt.
This is the most attended gathering since the Chinese New Year. Everyone is happy and it is inevitable to drink a little wine.
Su Jinshu drove back with a barrel of beer.
There were many people eating but few people grilling, so in the end they couldn't keep up. Su Jinshu sympathized with Su Jinyan's big belly, so he pushed Su Jinyan back into the house and sat in front of the barbecue grill.
Next to the barbecue grill, there were only the "outsider" Chen Meijun and Su Jinshu, who didn't drink, oh, and Aunt Yang, the big light bulb.
Rows of lamb skewers, chicken gizzards, and duck feet were brought to the table one after another. Su Jinshu glanced at the girl next to him, and seeing that she was seriously turning the grilled food, he handed her a string of duck feet, a string of lamb skewers, and a string of grilled steamed bread slices.
"You've been busy all day, eat a little to fill your stomach. There are fresh seafood in the kitchen."
Looking at the things handed to her, Chen Meijun's face suddenly turned red, her heart was beating so fast, she didn't know what to do.
After a long moment, she quickly looked up at Su Jinshu's charming face, quickly reached out to take it, and whispered, "Thank you."
The voice is like that of a mosquito, whispering shyly.
Su Jinshu paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and continued to roast the chicken gizzards.
Aunt Yang has been serving people for many years and is very good at observing people's words and expressions. Although she lowered her head, it did not prevent her from sensing the atmosphere between the two people.
She coughed and said with a smile, "Meijun, right? Come over and help me bake these. Hey, I'm old, and my waist and legs ache after sitting for a while. I'm hungry too. I'll go back to the room to rest for a while and eat something." After that, she stood up and slipped away.
At the same time, I felt sorry for Su Jinshu. It would be great if I could get rid of that woman who married into the Su family by scheming and framing others.
Chen Meijun looked at Aunt Yang who had left, and for a moment she was at a loss, very anxious, but also a little excited that she couldn't help feeling.
She stood up and sat in Aunt Yang's seat, just diagonally opposite Su Jinshu.
Su Jinyan placed the grill like this so that the two of them could chat while grilling skewers.
After Aunt Yang left, the atmosphere between the two became even more awkward and silent, and they both silently lowered their heads to roast the things in their hands.
Listening to the sound of a group of people talking and laughing in the room, Chen Meijun narrowed her eyes slightly, adjusted her mood, thought about a sentence several times in her mind, and then raised her head and chuckled and said: "Brother Su, haven't you been on a mission recently?"
Perhaps he didn't expect Chen Meijun to speak, Su Jinshu paused while flipping the skewers, looked up at her, and nodded calmly, "Well, I just came back from a mission a few days ago, and I shouldn't go out for a while."
"Oh, I see. I've always loved military life since I was a kid, but unfortunately I never had the chance. Brother Su, can you tell me about military life? Do you get up at four or five every day to do morning exercises? Do you run dozens of kilometers during training?"
Chen Meijun, who wanted to get familiar with Su Jinshu, suddenly felt that she had asked too many questions and smiled awkwardly for a moment, "I'm sorry, if you have any privacy, please don't tell me. I, I just want to know..." your life.
But she was so scared that she didn't dare to say the following words.
Su Jinshu pondered for a moment, and when he looked up, he glanced at the beautiful face of the girl across from him through the light in the courtyard, then lowered his head and said while grilling skewers, "It's okay, this is not private. The team will have morning exercises at five o'clock every day, and three nights a week will be set aside for everyone to compete. During field training, they will hike between five and twenty kilometers."
"Jinshu, are the lamb chops, chicken gizzards and duck feet ready?"
Zhang Fengxia suddenly stood at the door of the main room and said this, which scared Chen Meijun.
Her heart was beating 'boom boom boom' non-stop, as if she had done something wrong. She lowered her head in panic, her cheeks flushed and hot.
