Chapter 738 You Give Birth to the Baby and I'll Take Care of It
Just as he turned around and said a few words to Zhou Xi, the oil was too hot, and when the vegetables were put in, it caught fire with a bang.
According to common sense, it is normal for a fire to start. What is abnormal is that the fire ignited the paper bag next to it, which quickly ignited the towel. The towel fell to the ground and ignited the dry firewood, and the flames suddenly jumped up.
Everyone rushed to put out the fire. Zhou Xilai poured a full bucket of cold water on the firewood and the fire was finally put out.
It was a false alarm.
Xue Guixiang cleaned up the mess and said regretfully, "This dish is ruined."
Fortunately, the whole pot of dumplings was not wasted. Xue Guiqin hurriedly took the dumplings out of the pot to prevent them from going bad if they were soaked for too long.
After cleaning up the mess and taking out the dumplings, Xue Guixiang called for someone to bring the dumplings.
Lin Qingqing responded and went to the kitchen.
She smelled a fire in the kitchen and saw the black ground, so she asked curiously, "Mom, is our house on fire? How come I didn't know?"
Xue Guixiang wanted to slap her. It sounded like she was saying that there was something going on and she didn't call me.
Lin Qingqing, who was rolled her eyes by her mother-in-law, stuck out her tongue, dared not say anything more, and went into the house with the dumplings.
The dumplings were served in a large bowl. Except for Xiao Tianci who had a small bowl, the rest of the people, regardless of gender, had a large bowl each.
All the dishes were served. The dishes brought by Wei Dabao had been simmering in the pot and were steaming hot. The mixture of various aromas immediately aroused people's appetite.
There were nine people in total, including Wei Dabao and his wife, Zhou Xilai and his wife of three, and Xue Guixiang's sisters Qiao Jingzhen and Lin Qingqing.
Fortunately, the Zhou family’s table is big, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to accommodate all the food.
The wine we drank was naturally Moutai.
Except for pregnant women and the elderly and children, Zhou Xilai filled everyone's bowl.
The cup for my father-in-law was especially full.
Xiao Tianci was arranged to sit with Qiao Jingzhen. The two of them didn't care whether others ate or not. They started eating anyway and scrambled to eat the candied potatoes that Xue Guixiang had fried to a crisp.
However, this sweet potato paste has a special burnt aroma.
As a man at the head of the family, Wei Dalei made a speech. He first thanked the Zhou family for inviting them to this New Year's Eve reunion dinner. Then he wished the young people sweet love, the children healthy growth, the elderly good health and longevity, and those in unhappy marriages a speedy divorce. Emma, there are really all kinds of people in this Zhou family.
Finally, he raised his glass and said to Lin Qingqing: "Xiao Lin, I wish you academic success and a prosperous business!"
Lin Qingqing was naturally very happy after hearing these blessings. It was the New Year, and who didn't want to hear auspicious words?
So he picked up the wine glass and drank it first as a toast.
After a few rounds of drinks, everyone relaxed and the women had endless family gossip to talk about. Every family was a drama, and the conversation was so lively.
Zhou Xilai didn't care about others and was only interested in making his father-in-law happy. He said a lot of nice things. Wei Dalei took a few more sips of Moutai and instantly felt that this son-in-law had returned to being as pleasing to the eye as he was before the marriage.
As the two chatted, they began to call each other brothers. Wei Dalei, who was a little drunk, patted his son-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Xiao, Xiao Zhou, dear brother, I, my daughter is now in your care. Don't worry, I will definitely be your strongest backing. When you have a baby, I will take care of it. When you make money, I will spend it..."
Ugh, ugh, ugh!! What the hell is going on? I just took a few sips and started slurring my words!!
