The two of them joked around and made Zhong Zijun less nervous. He even wanted to laugh.

She sat down on the stool.

"My dear, seeing is believing. How are you?"

Master Ji also came over and said with a smile, "Thanks to your daughter, I have become stronger and stronger since I recovered from my illness. I can live another 20 years without any problem!"

As he spoke, he comically tapped the muscles on his arms to show off his strength, which made Zhong Zijun laugh.

"That would be great."

While they were talking, Ji Linhai came in with a bowl of brown sugar water.

He shook his head a little embarrassedly and said, "At that time, we were poor at home and didn't have any cups. You will drink from this bowl. I have washed it several times."

Zhong Zijun certainly had no objection.

"Thank you."

The bowl that was just the right size in Ji Linhai's hand seemed abnormally large in her hand, even bigger than her face.

늀It's quite funny.

Ji Linhai also noticed it and said awkwardly, "This is the smallest bowl in my house."

Zhong Zijun quickly picked up the bowl and took a sip.

"Very good, please."

After taking a few sips of water, this visit began to get down to business.

Because of the sincerity of Mr. and Mrs. Ji, Zhong Zijun became much calmer.

"I am sorry to bother you this time because I want to express my gratitude for your help. I have nothing else to offer you now.

Winter is coming soon, and I think your cotton jackets are not very warm. How about I make a jacket for you guys?"

She said it was not warm enough, which was already giving face to Ji Linhai. He ran in the woods all day, and his clothes were torn everywhere by the branches. Coupled with his rough hairstyle and beard, he looked like a tramp.

Ji Linhai never paid attention to his image. Firstly, he didn't know how to sew, and secondly, he wanted to look low-key and inconspicuous by being shabby.

When Zhong Zijun brought it up, he felt a little embarrassed, as it made him look too sloppy.

"That's great! I'm worried about this. We two are rough and don't know how to do these delicate tasks.

I'll buy the fabrics and cotton, and please make one set for both of us, is that okay?" Ji Linhai didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of scaring Zhong Zijun.

How could someone of her age still speak like a little girl? Even if she spoke louder, she would be scared. Ji Linhai could only control his volume as much as possible for fear of scaring this little white rabbit.

Zhong Zijun waved his hands: "No, no, why should I let you go out? My family has already prepared everything, you don't have to worry about it.

I came here today to take your measurements so that I don’t make it wrong.”

Seeing that she insisted, Ji Linhai said nothing more, thinking that he would send her more prey later, so as not to let her suffer any loss.

Looking at his son who suddenly started to speak like a sissy and tried to control his voice carefully, Grandpa Ji suddenly had an idea.

Could it be that this boy has a crush on the girl's mother?

It is said that Zhong Zijun looks really young and has a baby face. During this period of recuperation, she drinks spiritual spring water every day, and her previously tanned skin has recovered. After dressing up, she looks no different from a young girl.

No wonder he was targeted by the village ruffians.

If the two were together, he would be happy any moment. You could say he was old-fashioned or stubborn, but he didn't want to see his son grow old alone without anyone to accompany him in his later years.

This is how he got through his life, holding on during the day and knowing what will happen in the future.

Zhong Zijun and Ji Linhai had no idea what the old man was thinking.

Zhong Zijun took out the tape measure he brought with him and carefully measured the sizes of the two children, starting with the old man.

Master Ji also cooperated and let her measure her breasts openly.

When it came to Ji Linhai, there was a problem. He was tall and strong, and when Zhong Zijun was measuring him, she almost fell on him, which was very embarrassing.

Ji Linhai also noticed it, but he didn't stop her out of fun, because he found Zhong Zijun's flustered look quite interesting.

Zhong Zijun just finished measuring quickly.

By the end, my forehead was covered in sweat and my face was red, but luckily the oil lamp was not very bright so it was not very noticeable.

Mr. Ji didn't even offer to help, he just stood there cracking pine nuts and watching the show.

Haha, his pigs finally learned how to eat cabbages.

I thought Ji Linhai would never look for a woman in his life, but unexpectedly, the iron tree blossomed. Great, great!

He also knew a little about Zhong Zijun's situation. The man betrayed them and was released. She must have broken up with the previous man. If the two of them were together, it would be the best choice and neither of them would dislike the other.

But all this was just his imagination, and Zhong Zijun and Ji Linhai obviously didn't have that intention.

After measuring the size, Zhong Zijun quickly said goodbye. He didn't know what was going on that day. If he stayed any longer, he might explode.

Ji Linhai, of course, refused to let her go home alone, and insisted on sending her to Duan's house. He watched her enter the house before leaving.

When Gu Qinghuan returned home with the roast duck, there was no one at home.

Xu Huai'an left a note saying that he was taking the two children out to visit a temple fair and would be back by dinner time.

I haven't taken them out for a walk these past few days. They have been locked in the house all day. This is the time when they are very active, and it's really hard on them.

There were still two hours before dinner, so Gu Qinghuan began to prepare.

Tian is ready to use all his skills to make a table of delicious food to reward everyone.

During this period of time, most of the three refrigerators in the villa have been empty. Gu Qinghuan plans to eat up all the frozen goods in them quickly and then buy fresh ones. After all, frozen food is not very delicious.

There is also a box of frozen shrimps, which are steamed and eaten with dipping sauce.

A three-yolk chicken. This chicken is quite big. I can use half of it to make hand-torn chicken and the other half to make double-pepper diced chicken.

Tripe and yellow throat? Make a simple version of Maoxuewang.

There is also a big black fish. Fortunately, I haven't eaten boiled fish yet, so I can arrange it.

Stir-fry some vegetables and make some seaweed and egg drop soup to complete the meal.

Almost every day there is Jianghu cuisine, just thinking about it is so satisfying.

Hand-torn chicken is the easiest to make and it doesn’t need to be cold. It tastes better when it’s cold, so make it first.

Cut the three-yolk chicken in half and put it into the boiling water. Add scallions, ginger and cooking wine. Cook for about ten to twenty minutes, until you can pick it up after piercing it with chopsticks.

Put it in cold boiled water to let it cool down completely, so that the meat tastes better. Pick it up, filter it, and tear it into strips for later use.

Then the soul juice comes out.

Pour hot oil on chili noodles, minced garlic, white sesame seeds, and chopped green onions, add soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, and sugar, and you're basically done.

You can also add lemon and coriander to make the flavor more unique.

This seasoning is no joke, it tastes great even when mixed with shoe soles.

Pour it on the shredded chicken and your drool-worthy hand-shredded chicken is ready.

Double pepper diced chicken is a quick dish. Prepare the ingredients first, and when you come back to eat, just stir-fry it in the wok.

The main thing is to marinate the chicken first, then fry it in a pan. It is best fried until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes refreshing and chewy.

After preparing other dishes, start to cook boiled fish. Black fish has few bones, so slice the fish separately and marinate it with white pepper powder, salt, cooking wine and starch.

Add this last and blanch it before eating to preserve the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent.

Heat oil in a pan, add onion, ginger, garlic, chili pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, bean paste and hot pot base, stir-fry until fragrant, add water and bring to a boil.

Add seasoning, salt, chicken essence, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar.

First, cook the fish bones, bamboo shoots, black fungus, tofu skin, etc. in a pot and put them in the basin as the base.

Finally, put the fish fillets into the pot and spread them out. Cook for one minute, then take them out and place them on the top of the pot, and pour out the remaining soup in the pot.

The last step is to add chopped green onions, minced garlic, chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and white sesame seeds, sprinkle with hot oil, and bring out the aroma.

A pot of boiled fish with good color, aroma and taste is ready.

Gu Qinghuan picked up a bowl of less spicy fish slices and placed it aside, which was prepared for Dabao and Beibei.

The last dish was too spicy and they couldn't handle it.

The method of cooking Maoxuewang is similar to that of boiled fish, but the ingredients are different and the flavor is also different.

When she was eating her belly, Gu Lanting came back.

"Sister, I'm back."

A female voice followed: "Sister, I'm coming too."

From the sound of her voice, it was Ming Ruxue. This girl was quite familiar with me. Every time she came, she called me "sister" directly.

But I also understand that she has lived abroad for many years, has an open personality, and speaks more directly.

Gu Qinghuan also felt sorry for her. Her mother was always busy with her own affairs whether she was at home or abroad.

Although it was for the motherland, she was ultimately ignored. Many things are difficult to achieve. Fortunately, she also understood her mother's decision and was proud of it.

A second later, Ming Ruxue sneaked into the kitchen with a piece of delicious pork belly in her hand, which was quite funny.

A fairy-like girl holding a piece of pork belly in her hand seems incongruous no matter how you look at it.

"Sister, I'm here to eat again. What do you think of the pork belly I picked?

"Wow! It smells so good, is there something good going on today? I'm so lucky to have so many delicious dishes!" This girl was firing like a machine gun.

Gu Qing took the meat from her hand with a smile and placed it on the chopping board, then picked up the chopsticks and fed her a handful of boiled fish fillet.

“Wow! So spicy!” Ming Ruxue screamed in pain, but her eyes lit up in a second.

"It's delicious, sister. From now on you will be my sister. What will I do without you?" She took the chopsticks from Gu Qinghuan's hand and picked up another one, muttering to herself.

Gu Qinghuan was also left to her, and she was still a child.

Gu Lanting came in to help after washing his hands. When he saw Ming Ruxue's greedy look, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he had no good words to say.

"Ming Ruxue, you always come to my house for free meals and eat so much that you bankrupt my family."

Ming Ruxue's mouth was bulging, and she said unhappily while eating, "Xiaotingzi, shut up, your sister hasn't said anything yet, do you have the right to speak in this family?

Besides, I brought such a big piece of meat, but it still can't shut you up?"

"Eat your meat! It's better to tear your fat pig apart so that you won't have any meat in the future." Gu Lanting said venomously, his face full of disgust, but his hands involuntarily moved the torn chicken towards her.

Ming Ruxue took a piece of chicken and stuffed it into her mouth, rolling her eyes unhappily: "I want to be a scientist in the future, determined to fight for the great rejuvenation of the motherland. I won't get married if I can't get married!"

The power of education is unparalleled. This girl has been positively influenced by her mother since she was young and has a shining red heart.

Gu Lanting's expression softened, and he said unhappily, "That great scientist, please eat more, okay?"

Ming Ruxue lightly stopped her from putting down her chopsticks.

"Why don't you eat? Go ahead, it's okay, Lanting was just joking with you." Gu Qinghuan said with a smile.

"Sister, I'll save some for later. It'll be more lively if we all eat together! If there's anything I want to cook, just tell me." Ming Ruxue has lived alone for a long time and is a child with a strong sense of propriety.

It's okay to be naughty occasionally, but don't do anything unruly.

"Humph, my stomach is like a bottomless pit, do I still need to save some food?"

"Gu Lanting, are you looking for a fight?" Ming Ruxue slashed at his shoulder with a knife.

Gu Qinghuan looked at this pair of bickering lovers and couldn't help but laugh. Are all children like this? The more they like a girl, the more they want to argue with her and provoke her.

Seeing through things but not speaking them out, who can tell clearly what will happen in the future?
