Chapter 484 Warmth
The three children at home had their summer vacation a long time ago, but it was difficult to sit down and chat with Ye Qian, whether they were in school or on vacation. Unexpectedly, just a few days into the summer vacation, Ye Qian was free. The three children at home were so excited, "Mom, you have to make it up to us."
"Oh, what compensation?" Ye Qian also became interested. She also wanted to know what compensation the children would ask for.
Ningning thought for a moment and said, "Other mothers won't do that either. Do you want to make us some food?"
Ye Qian almost fell off her chair when she heard Ning Ning's words. What did she mean by "she can't do anything else"? She knew a lot. Ye Qian pursed her lips and said, "Nothing else? You only know how to eat."
"Then what can you do?" Ning Ning looked at Ye Qian with disgust and asked.
Seeing that Ye Qian was about to lose her temper, Ranran quickly said, "Mom, we don't need anything else. The food is pretty good."
Xixi nodded quickly and agreed: "Yes, yes, it's good to have something to eat."
"Okay then, it's settled. I was originally planning to take you guys out for some fun. Shanghai is so much fun. The last time I was there was over ten years ago. Hong Kong is pretty good too. What a pity. Since you've already decided, let's make some food."
Upon hearing Ye Qian's words, Xiao San's face immediately fell. With a look of pity on her face, she surrounded Ye Qian and chattered one after another: "Mom, we were wrong. We want to go out and play. We don't want to eat anymore. We don't want to eat anymore."
"It's too late to not eat. You've already made the decision. It was the three of you who decided together. You can't change it."
Originally, Ranran graduated from elementary school this year and would be entering junior high school soon. She had always had good grades, so as parents they naturally had to give her some rewards. However, she was not sure about the time before, so she never mentioned it. It was normal for children not to think about it. Besides, their company had opened many stores in Shanghai, and she also needed to travel to inspect them. Combining the two, she could have fun and work at the same time.
She had just been teasing the children on purpose, but seeing their frustrated expressions, she knew her purpose had been achieved. It would be pointless to tease them any further, so she changed the subject and said, "Let's have a meal first. If you behave well, I'll see if I can take you to Shanghai."
Hearing they still had a chance to change their words, the three children regained their spirits. Ningning immediately sensed something was wrong and asked, "Mom, could it be that you're going over there for something and you took us with you? You were teasing us just now, weren't you?"
Ningning guessed it, and Ye Qian's body stiffened in the chair. Ranran also noticed it, but he just didn't say anything. It's okay to tease them, anyway, it's not the first time Ye Qian teased them, but why did Ningning say it out loud? Their mother doesn't care about her face. While Ningning was talking, Ranran kept pulling Ningning's clothes, signaling him not to talk nonsense, but Ningning didn't notice it at all and said everything out loud.
Ye Qian was going to get angry, but then she thought, her own children are so smart, if she gets angry, the three children will just go along with her. Ye Qian thinks she is not stupid, at least in the past, she always fooled others, even now it is the same, but why can't she fool any of her own children? It is of course a good thing that the children are smart, but she is a little angry, and she has to vent.
Who should I take my anger out on? Naturally, it’s Gu Jinyan, but he’s not at home right now, so I’ll put this matter aside for now. “Haha, Ningning, with your emotional intelligence, you really won’t be able to find a wife in the future. I, your mother, won’t worry about these things for you.”
Ranran and Xixi laughed secretly, but Ningning didn't care: "Why get a wife? If you control Dad like this, I won't let anyone control me."
"What? Is one of you flying freely?"
"Yes, fly alone." Ningning nodded firmly.
Ye Qian was speechless. "I want to see how high you can fly by yourself. If you can't fly, I will break off your soaring wings and braise them."
"No, Mom's braised food isn't very tasty, but the cola chicken wings we had last time were pretty good. How about we have that tonight?"
"hehe."
But when it comes to chicken wings, she also felt a little greedy, "How about we set up a grill at home tonight?"
"Barbecue? Can we barbecue at home?" The three children were a little confused. They knew how to barbecue outside, but how could they barbecue at home?
Ye Qian finally realized what was going on and patted her forehead. "You must have eaten it before. How old were you when we moved in? Don't blame me if you don't remember."
Ningning and Xixi really couldn't remember much, but Ranran still had some impression. But as long as there was food and fun, it was fine. She didn't care what she wanted to do and immediately agreed, "Eat."
Ye Qian went back to the room and moved out the barbecue grill in the space. Seeing that it was still early, she went out and bought some meat. The mutton and beef needed to be marinated in advance. Her family had a sufficient supply of vegetables. Roasted corn was her favorite, and the roasted steamed buns were also very good. These were not sold outside for the time being, and Ye Qian hadn't eaten them for a long time.
Ye Qian took care of all these by herself, and then she took out wooden sticks and skewered the lamb with the children. The meat they ate at home was naturally simpler, so she put a large piece of meat with a small piece of chopped green onion, and skewered them one by one. She also did not forget Ningning's cola chicken wings. She still used the cola in the space. She didn't know if it was for psychological reasons, but she always felt that the cola of this era was not as delicious as that of later generations. She thought that the chicken wings would not taste so good either, so she didn't dare to use it.
The Arctic Ocean of this era tastes very good. Ye Qian gave money and asked the three brothers and sisters to go out and buy a few bottles. She then prepared the sauce in the kitchen. When the three came back, the charcoal in the stove had been lit. They moved stools and sat down around the stove. The charcoal used here was the smokeless charcoal bought for the last barbecue. Even if they sat together, they didn't have to worry about being smoked.
The grilling must be done by grilling the inside first. Half of the meat is used to grill the lamb skewers directly. For the other half, Ye Qian put a pan on it and fried two steaks. When they were almost done, Ye Qian took out a pair of scissors and cut the meat into small pieces. Every time she saw this scene, Aunt Lan couldn't help but sigh, "Who would have thought that these scissors could be used to cut meat? The key is that they are quite useful."
Ye Qian looked at the scissors in her hand again. They were the ones used to cut meat in later generations. "This method can only be used when eating barbecue. It's difficult to cut raw meat. A knife is better."
The timing was perfect. The meat was just cooked and Gu Jinyan came back before he had time to eat it. He saw the whole family gathered in the yard barbecuing, talking and laughing. The scene was very warm.
