Only then did Zhou Zhengting realize that he had fallen into his trap.
But she had just offered to stay and look after me, so I couldn't say anything at this moment, so I hesitated and said, "It's mainly your sister-in-law..."
Jiang Qingyue, who was standing in front of him, turned around and said with a smile, "I think it's okay. Let's celebrate the New Year together! It will be more lively with more people."
Xie Xiangyang immediately cheered, "Great! The dumplings my sister-in-law made are so delicious. We couldn't forget them after eating them last time."
Zhou Zhengting's forehead throbbed for a long time, and he had no choice but to agree.
After the three of them finished talking, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city.
Unlike on the island, the food here is quite varied and not so tight.
Jiang Qingyue bought a lot, and Xie Xiangyang followed suit and bought some.
When it came time to pay the bill, Zhou Zhengting took out the money and handed it to Jiang Qingyue.
Jiang Qingyue waved her hand, "No need, I'll take it."
Zhou Zhengting refused and stuffed the money directly into her hand.
In front of so many people, Jiang Qingyue couldn't resist and just accepted it.
After returning from the city, the two were busy preparing things for the New Year.
Although the house is not big, it still needs a thorough cleaning.
In addition, you also need to start steaming buns and dumplings.
I also fried fish chunks, crispy pork and shredded radish meatballs.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhou Zhengting suggested taking another good bath.
The last time I came back from the hospital, I only washed the wound quickly because I was worried about infection.
The rest is just scrubbing.
Now all the wounds have healed and it is the last day.
So I thought about taking a good bath.
Jiang Qingyue was puzzled. "You're not dirty, aren't you just washed?"
Zhou Zhengting smiled and said, "Isn't it New Year's Day tomorrow? I want to greet the New Year with a brand new look."
Jiang Qingyue looked at him doubtfully, but still helped him boil some water.
When the water was ready, Jiang Qingyue asked, "Can you wash by yourself?"
Zhou Zhengting was stunned and his face turned red immediately.
Then she asked, "Do you want to call Xie Xiangyang to help?"
Zhou Zhengting, "...Forget it, I can do it myself."
The bathroom is right next to the kitchen.
The sound of water splashing inside was so loud that Jiang Qingyue, who was standing outside, could hear it clearly.
It's awkward to leave, but it's also awkward not to leave.
I was also worried that he might slip and fall and I wouldn't be able to find him, so I decided to stay.
Finally, the sound of water gradually disappeared, and Jiang Qingyue felt the heat on her face cool down a little.
But seeing that he had been tidying up inside for a long time and had not come out, Jiang Qingyue could not help but urge him, "Zhou Zhengting, are you done washing?"
"Okay, it'll be quick."
After that, the bathroom door was opened.
Jiang Qingyue saw that the room had been cleaned up thoroughly.
Zhou Zhengting was already dressed in a new outfit, a dark red turtleneck sweater that made him look very energetic.
He shaved his beard again and his hair seemed to have been deliberately combed back.
Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, then muttered, "You just took a shower, dry your hair quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."
Zhou Zhengting looked at her speechlessly, feeling that all his busy work for half a day had been in vain.
"It's warm in the room, you won't be cold. What are you doing now? Let me help you!"
After saying that, he went into the kitchen.
Helped her wash vegetables and peel garlic.
Jiang Qingyue saw that he seemed like a different person after taking a shower, just like a peacock spreading its tail.
I couldn't help but drive him out of the house. "Okay, this place is too small. You'll only be in my way if you stay here. You should go out and read a book."
Zhou Zhengting said aggrievedly, "I'm not getting in the way. I'm just helping you."
As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Qingyue quickly stepped aside to open the door, only to see a strange man carrying a bucket of water coming over, "Is Platoon Leader Zhou here?"
When Jiang Qingyue heard that they were looking for Zhou Zhengting, she smiled and said, "Yes, it's here. It's inside."
"These seafoods were sent to me by Platoon Leader Zhou. I won't go in. I'll just leave them here."
At this time Zhou Zhengting also came over and handed over the money, "Thank you for your hard work, Old Wu."
"It's okay. Just tell me in advance next time if you need anything."
After everyone left, Jiang Qingyue looked down.
I saw that the bucket was full of seafood, including mackerel, yellow croaker, crabs and prawns.
Jiang Qingyue was stunned. "Did you ask someone to get all these?"
"Yes, Old Wu is a fellow fisherman here." Zhou Zhengting smiled, "Last time I saw you seemed to be quite interested in seafood. Today is New Year's Eve, let's make an exception and have some seafood tonight."
Jiang Qingyue was actually a little greedy and was wondering what to cook for dinner.
"Okay, this seafood can't be kept for too long, eat more in the evening."
The two of them had a simple lunch and then began to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Jiang Qingyue planned to make a spicy crab dish with some of the newly delivered seafood in the evening. Steamed yellow croaker would be best, and the prawns can be blanched directly while they are still fresh.
In addition, I will prepare a dish of pork ribs and kelp, and a local specialty of chicken stewed with mushrooms for Xie Xiangyang and others to taste.
For the rest, just make a few vegetarian dishes.
At around three or four in the afternoon, Xie Xiangyang and Xiao Li couldn't wait to come over.
"Sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with? Everyone in the dormitory has gone home, and it's pointless for us to stay in the dormitory."
Jiang Qingyue was busy mixing the dumpling stuffing and shouted to the two of them, "Do you know how to make dumplings?"
"meeting!"
"Okay then, wash your hands and let the three of you make dumplings together later!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Qingyue prepared two kinds of dumpling fillings, one with pork and the other with Spanish mackerel.
Two more helpers have arrived, and the New Year’s Eve dinner will be ready soon.
After the entire table was filled, Xie Xiangyang mysteriously took out two bottles of white wine from his bag.
"I spent a lot of effort to get this, you have to keep it a secret for me, and don't go home until you are drunk tonight."
Jiang Qingyue looked at Zhou Zhengting with some concern, "Zhengting's leg hasn't fully recovered yet, can he drink this wine?"
His alcohol tolerance was so poor.
Zhou Zhengting shrugged and looked at Xie Xiangyang helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. Your sister-in-law doesn't agree."
Xie Xiangyang and Xiao Li couldn't help but cheer, "It's okay to drink a little bit, it can be used to promote blood circulation. It is said that the temperature will drop tonight, so it's just right to warm up the body."
"Yes, sister-in-law, just let Platoon Leader Zhou drink a little."
Jiang Qingyue felt a little embarrassed by what the two said.
It makes her seem as if she is really the housekeeper.
So he could only smile and nod, "Then drink some."
Xie Xiangyang quickly and happily poured wine for all four of them.
Jiang Qingyue waved her hands repeatedly, "I really can't drink. My alcohol tolerance is too low."
Zhou Zhengting also stopped her, "I'll testify for her. She can't drink much. If she gets drunk and acts crazy, I'll be the one who suffers at night."
