Chapter 152 Two Family Dinner
There was no place for him in the main hall, so Mao Jianguo returned to the kitchen to complain to He Yuan and described the scene in vivid detail.
He Yuan raised the corners of his mouth and said in a doting tone: "She is so cute."
Mao Jianguo: “!!!”
It's over.
Another crazy one.
"I sincerely hope that you can be with Chen Qing."
He Yuan: "Thank you."
"Take the steamed taro out."
"Okay." Mao Jianguo carried the taro out, feeling that he was in a thankless job. He did not get any work done, did not get any benefits, and was even beaten.
The steamed taro was served on the table, and the only dish left was the fried sweet potato vines. He Yuxiang arranged the dishes, putting the mooncakes that Maomao's father brought in the middle. The dishes were spread along the edge of the mooncakes, and then he went to wash the dishes and arrange the chopsticks.
Mao Jianguo saw that there was no wine, so he asked if everyone wanted to drink, "I'll go home and get some wine?"
Talia finally gave him a look: "Remember to get the soda."
Mao Jianguo nodded: "Okay."
He walked outside quickly.
The children were all busy with their own things, and Talia took the opportunity to ask Chen Qing: "What's going on between you and Researcher He?"
Chen Qing thought for a moment before replying, "I want to be together after I get paid."
Talia didn't quite understand: "Why wait until after the salary is paid?"
"I owe him some money. No matter what happens in the future, I have to settle the previous debt. But I have very little savings, and there are two children at home. In case something happens, I have to prepare a reserve fund for them."
"I can give you money."
Talia said proudly.
Chen Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, there's no rush, and I haven't figured out how to express my feelings yet."
Thinking of his previous confession, Chen Qing couldn't help but secretly complain that this steely straight man was hopeless.
Who would agree to someone's confession after getting angry at him?
This guy doesn't even know how to grasp the most basic moment to confess his feelings!
At least we should create some ambiguity, right? It would be best if we could have some alone time.
Expect He Yuan to come to his senses?
Forget it, it would be better for her to take the initiative.
Talia was surprised: "You confessed?"
Chen Qing nodded generously: "That's right."
"That's good."
It is consistent with her understanding of Chen Qing.
The sweet potato vines were soon served and all the dishes were ready. Everyone washed their hands and waited for Mao Jianguo to come back for dinner.
Mao Jianguo was well off and had many expensive items at home. After all, his salary was over a hundred yuan, Director Shen valued him and would occasionally get him benefits, and he also knew the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, so he basically had no shortage of good things.
He brought a small bottle of white wine and three bottles of Arctic Ocean.
Xiaoyu stared straight at the Arctic Ocean, her eyes moving with Mao Jianguo's movements, as if they were attracted by a magnet.
Chen Qing smiled and opened a bottle of Beibingyang for her: "Drink less, you have to eat first, okay?"
Xiaoyu was so impatient that as soon as the drink touched her lips, her eyes widened. Her black pupils shone like two glass marbles. When the bubbles from the Arctic Ocean rushed up to her nose, she suddenly shrank her neck as if she had been electrocuted.
"It's delicious! Thank you, Uncle Mao."
Mao Jianguo finally felt relieved: "You're welcome. If you want to drink in the future, just come to my uncle's house."
Xiaoyu smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Mao."
Mao Jianguo thought it would be great if he had a daughter, preferably one like Xiaoyu, who was so caring.
It turns out that the best children in the world are all in other people's families.
Mao Jianguo invited everyone to drink again: "Try the good wine I brought. I'll tell you in advance that the alcohol content is very high, so drink according to your ability."
He Yuan: "Then I don't need it."
He has a poor alcohol tolerance and tends to lose control when drunk, and he doesn't like that feeling.
Chen Qing: "I'll give you less too. I still have to make lanterns for some little ones later."
Mao Jianguo nodded and poured some wine for Chen Qing. Although they were playing around, he didn't have the bad habit of drinking like a girl.
But he poured a lot for his wife.
The two of them have the best understanding of each other, apart from in bed, and over wine.
"Come, let's raise a toast to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival for our two families."
Everyone raised their cups and clinked them together.
He Yuxiang remembered that his parents were still alive during last year's Mid-Autumn Festival. In just one year, they were gone. He didn't know whether they had reunited for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
He felt a little sad, so he scooped a piece of Yong Tau Foo for his sister: "Eat more."
"I know."
Xiaoyu was eating the tender stuffed tofu, her round eyes shaped like little crescent moons with joy.
"Uncle He Yuan, your cooking is really delicious, even better than that of state-owned restaurants. Have you learned it?"
He Yuan: "I've seen the recipe."
Everyone was silent.
Who doesn’t know a few words?
What does he mean by this.
Chen Qing had watched a lot of short videos, and the food he cooked was either too salty or bland.
Why doesn't she have the ability to do this?
Why is there such a big gap between people?
She ate a piece of fat and lean braised pork viciously. Her jealousy towards He Yuan disappeared and she felt her body and mind were cleansed.
In her previous life, she seemed to have been kicked in the brain by a donkey. In order to own a house in Hai City, she lived frugally and missed out on so many delicious foods!
I must make my money back in this life.
Mao Jianguo suddenly asked: "He Yuan, do you have to go to the capital soon?"
Chen Qing looked up in confusion.
He Yuan quickly said, "It was only confirmed today. I have to go and communicate with the brother unit of the Capital Machinery Factory. The end time is probably the eighth of next month."
No matter what, he would be back before her birthday.
Chen Qing subconsciously asked, "A business trip again?"
Everyone present could hear the reluctance in her tone.
He Yuan's heart suddenly softened, and he explained softly: "Well, the machinery factory needs someone to participate in the competition and teach some things. I am used to traveling all year round, so they usually send me."
This time he went to the capital not only for work, but also to take the opportunity to investigate why his brother did not go abroad.
"The weather in the capital is very changeable in September, so you should prepare some thick and thin clothes," Chen Qing reminded.
He Yuan nodded seriously, "Okay."
Mao Jianguo said: "He has been to the capital many times. There is no need to worry about him."
He Yuan's eyes gradually turned cold: "Deputy Mao needs to carry out a multinational project recently, and the product quality needs to be improved by 15% of the other party's requirements. I wish you good luck."
Listening to that good luck, the tone is more like take care of yourself.
Mao Jianguo was heartbroken. He went to get some wine and poured himself a full glass: "Daughter-in-law, cheers!"
"Dry."
Talia swallowed it in one gulp.
Chen Qing was not in the mood to drink, so he went to make lanterns with He Yuan and the children.
The only material currently available is thin bamboo strips.
He Yuan asked: "Are there any cans?"
Cans and bottles can be exchanged for money at the scrap yard. He Yuxiang took them out with a sad face, "Can you use this as a base?"
"right."
He Yuan quickly opened the can.
The three children squatted in front of He Yuan with their heads together, watching him operate.
Chen Qing also squatted beside him, watching in amazement: "Aren't you researching steel-related things? How come you can also do lanterns?"
