"Let me think about it." An Hongdou said.
"There's no rush for this, take your time to think about it." Shen Wanhua just made a suggestion and didn't want to get involved in their final decision.
Shen Wanhua stayed for a while before he stood up and said goodbye and left.
In the next two days, Shen Xiangzhi took An Hongdou to visit relatives to celebrate the New Year.
The Su and Shen families didn’t have many relatives, and some of them had lost contact for some reasons, so they all left in two days.
After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Xiangzhi moved with them.
Although there weren't many things, I still had to tidy them up when I got to my new home, which wasted most of the day.
At night, Chen Xiangzhi and An Hongdou discussed the housewarming party at home.
During this period, a grand celebration is certainly not ideal, but it would also be inappropriate not to invite anyone.
Especially Zhao Peng and his friends who grew up with Shen Xiangzhi, as well as some of his good classmates, and the neighbors next door who had already greeted him.
After finalizing the people, at least two tables will be needed, including those from our family.
An Hongdou knew that her cooking skills were not very good, and the weather was cold, so she simply suggested making hotpot.
This is simple. Just cook the soup and add the vegetables when eating.
Chen Xiangzhi asked, "It's suitable to cook hot pot in this weather, but vegetables are hard to buy." Especially green vegetables, which are all grown in greenhouses and are very scarce. You can't buy them even if you have a ticket.
Then, An Hongdou waved his hand and a large pile of them appeared on the ground.
She was not afraid of not being able to buy things, but was afraid of how to deceive people about the origin of the things.
Of course, this is also the reason why she revealed so much in front of Shen Xiangzhi.
The two of them slept in the same bed, sticking together all day long. If he wanted to be fully occupied, the space would just be a decoration.
Fortunately, Shen Xiangzhi has become accustomed to the repeated transformation of objects out of thin air. From the initial shock and novelty, he has now been able to face it normally.
While it was still dark, Chen Xiangzhi took all the vegetables, grains, and meat on the ground into the kitchen, and then came back with a chill.
The next morning, the two elders of the Su family and Mr. Shen came over. They wanted to help, but they were shocked when they entered the kitchen.
A pile of green vegetables and mushrooms were all on the kitchen floor. On the chopping board were half a slab of pork ribs and a large piece of pork belly, as well as two processed pheasants.
Grandma Su walked out and happened to see Shen Xiangzhi, so she asked him, “Xiangzhi, how did you buy so many things in the kitchen?”
These things are not easy to buy. Even if you are a city dweller, no matter how rich or poor you are or what position you hold, the ration of things distributed each month is limited, and you can't buy more even if you want to.
She discussed with the old man yesterday how to bring back more things.
But the old man told her not to worry about it, saying that since the child didn't say anything, he must have a way to deal with it.
Shen Xiangzhi had already thought of an excuse, and said: "I found some connections to do it, it's hard to say, grandma, don't ask."
"Okay, grandma won't ask. I'll just follow your instructions today. What are you going to do?" Grandma Su also knew that An Hongdou's cooking skills were not good, so she came so early, ready to help.
But Shen Xiangzhi said: “Grandma doesn’t need to work today, you just need to help take care of the children, Hongdou and I will do it.”
He cooked the soup and asked An Hongdou to wash the vegetables.
After all, it is their business, and it would not be good to let the old man do it again. This is what the couple discussed last night.
Grandma Su was a little worried, "Are you two okay?"
“Don’t worry, I will definitely be able to let you have food.” Shen Xiangzhi said helplessly.
In the living room, after calculating the time, An Hongdou handed the children to Grandma Su and the others and went to the kitchen to help.
The faucet at home is on the wall outside the kitchen, and there is hot water in the kettle, so I don’t have to worry about freezing my hands.
An Hongdou was washing vegetables while Shen Xiangzhi was cooking in the house. The two of them worked together quite well.
Zhao Peng was the first to arrive, with a girl on the back seat of his bicycle.
As soon as she entered the door, she ran in before Zhao Peng even got off his bicycle.
"Grandma Su, where is Brother Xiangzhi?" A sweet voice came from the living room. An Hongdou, who was standing at the kitchen door, turned her head and looked over there, only to see the back of a girl in a military green cotton coat and pigtails.
She didn't recognize him either, so she turned her head away.
"Sister-in-law, where is Shen Xiangzhi?" Zhao Peng had already walked in front of her. Although he called her sister-in-law, he was unwilling to call Shen Xiangzhi brother.
"Cooking."
While An Hongdou was talking, Shen Xiangzhi had already walked to the door.
Zhao Peng put his hand on his shoulder and said, "You are so good. I have wanted to try your cooking skills for a long time, but you still refused. You can't run away this time, right?"
Shen Xiangzhi smiled and said, "I'll let you taste it well this time, and taste it enough."
As he spoke, Shen Xiangzhi winked at Zhao Peng, glanced towards the living room, and asked him with some dissatisfaction in his tone: "Why did you bring her here?"
"Don't you know the temper of our little ancestor?" Zhao Peng was also quite helpless. "If I dare not take her with me, she will complain to my mother and make me suffer the consequences."
Zhao Xinyi is Zhao Peng's younger sister. She is about the same age as An Hongdou, but she has the mind of a little girl and is very clingy.
The most important thing is that Shen Xiangzhi had rejected her before, more than once, but Zhao Xinyi was not afraid of being rejected and continued to do her own thing, which gave Shen Xiangzhi a headache.
In the later stage, I simply hid myself and went to the countryside, only then did I completely get rid of it.
Now he only hoped that since he was already married, Zhao Xinyi's passion for him would end. As the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, was she afraid of not being able to find an outstanding man who wanted to marry her?
But obviously, this is impossible.
Zhao Xinyi had already seen Chen Xiangzhi coming over here. She said before he even arrived, "Brother Xiangzhi, you are finally back. I missed you so much. I wanted to come to see you a long time ago, but my brother wouldn't let me. He is so mean. He even told me that you are already married. How is this possible?"
In Zhao Xinyi's eyes, Chen Xiangzhi was a man who would stick by his brothers, but Chen Xiangzhi, who was rude to girls, was noble and cold.
Even she doesn't like such a Shen Xiangzhi, so how could he run to the countryside to marry a village girl?
It must be her brother who lied to her.
Zhao Xinyi focused all her attention on Shen Xiangzhi and didn't even notice An Hongdou standing beside her.
Even her own brother was excluded from her sight at this moment.
Shen Xiangzhi had such a headache that he wished he could drive Zhao Peng away right now.
If he had known earlier that Zhao Peng would bring this little witch here, he would never have invited her to his housewarming party.
"Your brother is right, I am indeed married." Shen Xiangzhi pushed Zhao Peng who was blocking the way out, walked over and grabbed An Hongdou, pulled her directly into his arms, and said seriously: "This is my wife An Hongdou, since you call me brother, then call her sister-in-law."
