Lai Yanling said generously, "Now that the weather is cooler, the braised food will not go bad if left in the marinade, and the taste will be better if it is soaked for a long time.

This time we will braise more, so we won’t eat in the cafeteria at noon and bring our own food. It goes well with rice after heating it up and mixing it with the marinade.”

People usually get tired of eating the same dishes, so it's nice to try something new. She had gone to the market before and saw several stalls selling braised food.

Thinking of the various varieties, Lai Yanling gave instructions, "Tomorrow, in addition to buying chicken feet and duck feet, you should also buy some offal, some pork heads, and some pork belly. You can also braise them and send some to Dean Liu's house when the time comes."

The three siblings got up at dawn and planned to grab some meat early. As their economic conditions improved, the demand was higher and meat was digested faster. If they didn't go early, they would not be able to buy anything.

Seeing how enthusiastic the three of them were, Lai Yanling took out the money and tickets and gave them to Song Zhiyao. She was not polite and said that if she didn't accept them, she would definitely not let them buy them.

Song Zhiyao had also made plans. She was going to make a big purchase today and use up all the tickets in her hand. Liu Ruihui said that there would be rewards for completing the project this time, and she would know when she returned to the hospital.

Judging from her tone, there should be quite a few rewards, money and tickets coming in, so Song Zhiyao doesn't intend to be stingy.

The three siblings split into three groups. Song Zihao went to buy meat. He was stronger than them and more flexible, so he could squeeze in. He was quicker several times when buying meat.

Song Zihao, who was entrusted with the important task of buying meat, immediately promised, "Don't worry, big sister, I will definitely complete the task!"

Seeing his serious look, his two sisters laughed continuously.

Song Ruyun went to buy vegetarian vegetables, such as lettuce, potatoes, kelp, and lotus root, all of which are suitable for adding to braised dishes. She is familiar with the vegetable market and knows which one is better.

She followed suit and made the same solemn promise as Song Zihao. After watching her younger brother and sister leave, Song Zhiyao went to buy spices and soy products. Braised tofu is also delicious.

She planned to buy some dried tofu, which is chewy and won't become mushy when braised. Cut it into shreds and mix it with chili sauce, and it can be a delicious dish to go with rice.

The three siblings walked around the vegetable market for more than an hour. When they met up, each of them was carrying large and small bags, and their hands were busy. They were very happy to see each other's rich harvests.

On the way home, Song Zhiyao remembered what Lai Yanling said last night, asking them to stop by their uncle's house to ask about the picnic, but they had completely forgotten about it.

It was not realistic for three people to carry so many things to go to my uncle's house, so I thought about going directly to my cousin's workplace, as we would just pass by there on the way.

The two siblings did not ask their sister why she was going to the Public Security Bureau, they just followed her silently. After all, Song Zhiyao had reasons for everything she did.

When he reached the door, he told his younger brother, "Zihao, go in and see if your cousin is there. If he is, ask him to come out."

Song Zihao put down his things and immediately ran in to call Lai Minghua.

The two sisters stayed there to watch things, and soon Lai Minghua followed Song Zihao out.

Lai Minghua hadn't seen Song Zhiyao for a long time. Seeing that she looked pretty good except that she was a little thinner, he felt relieved. His parents had been worried about his cousin during this period.

Every time at this time, Lai Yanping would retort, "No matter how bad the food is, it's better than what you cook. Their children are busy, do you think you can worry about them when you have nothing to do?"

Thinking of his parents bickering with each other from time to time, Lai Minghua couldn't help but shake his head.

"Zhiyao, you bought so many things? Are you planning to treat us?" Lai Minghua had no idea why his cousins ​​came to see him, but he didn't hesitate when he heard Song Zihao calling him out.

Seeing so many things on the ground again, was he going to treat them to a meal? Seeing Lai Minghua's puzzled expression, Song Ruyun rolled her eyes at him, "Cousin, did you forget so quickly? Didn't we agree to go on a picnic when we took my sister to the hospital last time? We remember it clearly. These are all the braised dishes we bought and prepared to take to the picnic. My mom said that if there are too many, we can keep them for later."

One day they were going to have a picnic. Lai Minghua patted his head and said, "Look at my memory. I've been so busy lately that I forgot about it. Since Zhiyao has time, let's go tomorrow.

It just so happens that Tingting has a day off tomorrow, and my dad also has time so I can take a break from work. How about we go to Bijia Mountain, which is not far behind our house?

There is a big lawn where we can sit and eat and fly kites.”

In fact, it was Lai Minghua who went to Bijia Mountain for a picnic. He had always kept it in mind and discussed it with Xiao Yu after he talked about it that day. They both agreed that Bijia Mountain was suitable.

The two siblings were so happy that they could fly kites all day. They had heard from their classmates that the lawn there was very big and they had been there to fly kites before.

Song Zihao was even more proactive and quickly asked Lai Minghua, "Cousin, do you know where to buy a kite? We must prepare a few more kites since there are so many of us."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Lai Minghua's impression of this cousin was that he was not talkative, but he gradually became cheerful later on. It was also the first time he saw him so interested in something.

Knowing that it was normal for children to like playing, he said mysteriously, "I have prepared the kite. You will know when we get there."

After discussing with his wife Xiao Yu, the two of them prepared for the kite. They were acting mysterious at the moment because they wanted to give them a surprise on the spot.

Having said that, Song Zhiyao didn't want to disturb Lai Minghua from work, so she said, "Then we'll see each other tomorrow, cousin. I have to go back and take care of these things now. I'll stew them when my mom gets home from get off work. They'll be very tasty tomorrow after leaving them overnight."

"You guys should go back quickly. We can talk about it tomorrow." After saying this, Lai Minghua hurried in to discuss changing shifts with others.

After everything was settled, he went to find his brother-in-law Deng Bo, "Deng Bo, bring Tingting, Xiaowen, and your parents to Bijia Mountain to play tomorrow. It's a rare good day tomorrow."

Deng Bo saw that his brother-in-law came to see him during working hours, which was really rare, and invited their family to go to Bijia Mountain for fun, with a puzzled look on his face.

Seeing his brother-in-law's puzzled look, Lai Minghua explained, "Last time I promised to take Zhiyao and her two siblings on a picnic. They came over with a bunch of stuff and asked me when we were going. They wanted to go so badly, so I took them out to play tomorrow if I'm not busy.

It just so happens that we haven’t been together for such a long time, so we can relax and chat as a family.”

Lai Minghua had already made the decision, and Deng Bo did not delay. He was also thinking about asking his family to prepare more food to bring over today.
