Aunt Feng responded and said, "Okay, I understand. Then you should come back for dinner tonight, right?"
"Come back for dinner in the evening." Qin Zheng said, and walked out of the house. He happened to meet Chen Ying, the husband of Sun Lan next door, who was also going out.
Chen Ying saw Qin Zheng and smiled: "Qin Tuan, it's time to go to work. Let's go together."
Qin Zheng nodded slightly, and the two of them walked towards the office area together.
As they walked, Chen Ying asked Qin Zheng, "Your sister-in-law said yesterday that she wanted to introduce you to a girl. Did you agree?"
Qin Zheng did agree, so he said "hmm".
"Oh, my dear brother Qin, you finally got it! Yesterday I thought your sister-in-law was just kidding me!" Chen Ying laughed heartily, raised his hand and patted Qin Zheng on the shoulder, and teased: "You're thirty-three this year, right? You'd better hurry up and find a partner! After all, a man's sexual ability plummets after he's thirty. Hurry up while you can."
Qin Zheng glanced at Chen Ying's body and said with a "tsk", "Brother Chen, are you done?"
“Who can’t do it!!!”
Men don’t want to hear others say that they are not good enough!
He subconsciously straightened his slightly hunched back, stared, and defended his dignity: "I can do it!"
"Real or fake?" Qin Zheng sighed. "Brother Chen, didn't you say that men are no longer capable after they turn 30? I thought that was your heartfelt words, based on your own experience."
"I'm talking about others! Not me!" Chen Ying's only stubborn expression was: "I feel bad for you! You're already in your thirties, and you're still a virgin. I'm worried you won't have the chance to show off your virility!"
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for worrying about me. But please rest assured, I don't have any worries in this regard for the time being." Qin Zheng looked down at his body and smiled, "I think I'm doing pretty well."
Chen Ying followed Qin Zheng's gaze and glanced in that direction. It was a big, bulging bag, and it looked like it was indeed quite valuable.
He pursed his lips and suddenly felt a little depressed.
“…”
This time, they brought humiliation upon themselves.
He quickly changed the subject: "Qin Tuan, when are you free recently? I'd like your sister-in-law to coordinate and arrange for you to meet the girl."
Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. The classes for the Spring Festival haven't been scheduled yet."
"Let me know when it's scheduled." Chen Ying said, "After all, the girl's work is very busy, and it's not easy for her to take a day off. I'll have to ask your sister-in-law to coordinate a time that is suitable for both of us."
Qin Zheng agreed: "Okay."
Chen Ying and Qin Zheng were not in the same group and worked in different places, so they parted ways halfway.
Not long after Qin Zheng arrived at his destination, someone came to inform him to attend a meeting chaired by Commander Liang. The content of the meeting was the deployment and arrangements of border defense during the Spring Festival.
The closer it gets to the New Year, the more unstable the border becomes. In order to prevent the other side from making any moves, it is necessary to increase the number of patrol personnel.
After the meeting, Commander Liang left Qin Zheng alone and asked him with a smile, "Qin Zheng, I heard that your Aunt Cui ran into you at your doorstep yesterday. She told me that you've already taken your sister home. Is that true?"
Qin Zheng nodded in agreement, "Sir, that's true. I just received it yesterday."
Commander Liang nodded in satisfaction and replied, "Well, that's all right! You've been looking for your sister for so many years, you deserve to be brought to your side and taken good care of. By the way, your Aunt Cui is hosting a party tonight and has invited many of her family members. Why not bring your family members to our house for dinner and let them get to know each other?"
Faced with the enthusiastic invitation of Division Commander Liang, Qin Zheng agreed without hesitation: "No problem, thank you, Chief."
Having said what needed to be said, Commander Liang waved his hand and said, "Alright, get back to work."
The heavy snow had stopped long ago, the sun came out, and the sunlight shone down, making the white snow on the ground sparkle.
Qin Zheng went out to work after breakfast, and Yun Qiao stayed at home to accompany Feng Juan.
When I first moved into the family compound, the spacious and bright house was empty and lifeless, and it seemed very deserted. I had to decorate it and put some daily necessities in it to make it feel a bit like home.
Although I simply put a few tablecloths on the table, hung a painting of peonies I painted on the wall, and placed a few sprouted garlic sprouts on the windowsill, it has already added a lot of vitality to the house.
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and Aunt Feng is not idle either. She has already started preparing the big dishes for the New Year.
Only by making New Year's dishes can we feel the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
Aunt Feng cut the pork belly she bought yesterday into large squares, cooked it first, then used a toothpick to poke small holes in the skin. Then, she deep-fried the pork belly in a pan of oil until the skin was crispy, then soaked it in ice water. She then sliced it, marinated it, and placed the slices neatly in a bowl.
It’s just that I couldn’t buy the preserved vegetables for making preserved vegetable pork with preserved vegetables at the grocery store yesterday, so I couldn’t make authentic preserved vegetable pork with preserved vegetables. I could only spread green beans and kelp strips on top of the meat, and then steam it in a pot for two hours, and it became tiger skin pork with preserved vegetables.
The braised pork belly can be prepared in advance. On New Year’s Eve, you can just steam it and then turn it upside down and serve it on a plate. It is simple, convenient and saves time.
Aunt Feng worked very efficiently. She was not idle while steaming the braised pork with pork belly. She started frying crispy pork and meatballs in another pot.
There are two kinds of meatballs, one made of carrots and the other of white radish. They are fried until crispy and burnt on the outside while soft on the inside. One bite of them is filled with the fragrance of radish.
Not to mention the crispy pork, the batter contains crushed peppercorns, which is fragrant and spicy, and the fragrance is so good that it can arouse the appetite of people.
Yunqiao and Yuanyuan couldn't stop eating, and before lunch time, the sisters had already filled their stomachs.
Yun Qiaoyan rarely had the experience of being fed by someone at the pot. At this moment, she felt like she had become a child and was reliving her childhood.
"Eat less, or you won't be able to eat lunch." Feng Juan brought two glasses of hawthorn water at the right time, "Drink some hawthorn water to help digestion."
Yun Qiao took it with a smile: "Thank you, Mom."
Feng Juan touched Yun Qiao's head, waited for her and Yuanyuan to finish drinking the hawthorn water, then took the quilt and washed it.
After eating and drinking, Yuanyuan wanted to go out and build a snowman, and she begged Yunqiao and Feng Juan to go with her.
Yun Qiao also liked going out to play in the snow, so he agreed to Yuanyuan's request and turned around to look for suitable tools at home.
Yuanyuan also wanted to take Feng Juan with her.
But Feng Juan didn't want to go out in the cold, so she waved her hand and said, "Yuanyuan, Mommy won't go. You and your sister can go together."
"Mom, let's go together."
"No, Mom is afraid of the cold, Mom won't go."
Feng Juan shook her head firmly. She was most afraid of the cold. Her family was poor when she was a child, she did not take good care of her body during adolescence, and after giving birth, she encountered tragedy in her life and did not take good care of her body, resulting in deficiency of qi and blood. She felt cold all over when winter came.
