In the yard, Lin Qingping had already led the two children to light the charcoal fire. The iron rack was also set up, with a clay pot on top, and a strong smell of medicine filled the air.
"Who wants to take medicine?" Gu Juncheng walked over and stared at Lin Qingping.
"No one, it's a stew, for nourishing the body." Lin Qingping couldn't say in front of the children that it was a man's soup for you to drink, right? "The meat is here! We can start grilling!"
Zhiyuan and Xiaomai clapped their hands, and the firelight made their faces red.
It takes a long time to roast lamb chops and lamb legs, so Lin Qingping put them on the grill and roasted them slowly. As for the other meats, he took a handful each and put them on the grill and roasted them quickly.
Zhiyuan and Xiaomai each took a skewer and slowly roasted it, while Gu Juncheng was carefully "serving" the lamb chops and lamb legs, sprinkling seasoning on them continuously.
Lin Qingping loves to tinker with food. She can even make tofu taste like meat. Zhiyuan has become accustomed to the fact that there will be delicious food whenever Lin Qingping is at home, but wheat is different.
Living in their hometown, both the Gu family elders and Gu Youlian were used to being frugal, not to mention the Du family who didn't like Xiaomai. Even if there was something delicious, it would not be Xiaomai's turn. Moreover, even if she wanted to eat meat in the past, she could only buy a limited amount of meat because it required coupons. So, even if meat was sold freely now, in Xiaomai's opinion, eating meat was still a very difficult thing. She would only eat it when her aunt came home on weekends, right?
There was so much meat today that Xiaomai was shocked but also very cautious. She didn't dare to eat too much. She grilled a skewer herself and took one from Lin Qingping. She didn't dare to eat any more and just watched silently from the side.
Lin Qingping was busy roasting and didn't notice her. When he was done roasting, he put the meat in front of the two children, meaning that they should eat it. But when she looked up suddenly, she found that the meat in front of Xiaomai was piled high and not a single skewer had been eaten.
"What's wrong? Is it not tasty? Why don't you eat it anymore?" Lin Qingping was enjoying the meal and thought it tasted good. "Is it too spicy?"
Wheat shook his head.
"Then why don't you eat it? Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold!" Lin Qingping pointed at the barbecue in front of her.
Xiaomai was still a little unconvinced, "Eat...all? Not leaving any for tomorrow?"
"What's left to leave? Eat as much as you can until your little stomachs can't hold any more!" Lin Qingping said cheerfully.
Xiaomai’s eyes widened. This... is so much meat!
"This is mutton, this is beef, we rarely eat them in our hometown. This is pork belly, eat whatever you like." In a few years, beef and mutton were no longer rare in my hometown, but now the two children have rarely eaten them.
Lin Qingping also opened a bottle of Beibingyang soda for each of the two children and drank one for herself, but there was no bottle for Gu Juncheng.
Gu Juncheng took a knife in his hand, cut off a small piece of meat from the lamb leg, and fed it to her mouth, "Why is there no meat for me?"
Lin Qingping took a bite of the lamb leg meat, it was so delicious! Fatty but not greasy, crispy and tender, the oil burst directly in the mouth.
Wearing a pair of gauze gloves, she poured out the medicine from the pottery jar and handed it to him, "This is for you to drink."
Gu Juncheng: ???
"What the hell is this?"
Lin Qingping answered without hesitation, "I made this medicinal soup for you! Mom told me to do that! You haven't been home for the past two months, so you can't drink it. I don't know if Mom will blame me if I don't drink it for the past two months."
"What?" Gu Juncheng's brows were already furrowed. "What did my mother tell me?"
Zhiyuan blinked his eyes, and the distant memory suddenly attacked him, "I know, it's soup for men!"
Gu Juncheng: …
Zhiyuan also asked Lin Qingping, "I can drink, right? I'm a man."
Lin Qingping chuckled, "You're a boy!"
Is there anything else that Gu Juncheng doesn’t understand?
At that moment, his face turned ugly, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of the child, so he lowered his head and continued to roast the lamb.
The night grew darker, and although the lights were on, the light was not bright, and his dark face was hidden in the darkness.
Lin Qingping held a glass of soda and touched the edge of Gu Juncheng's cup of medicine, "Gu Juncheng, don't you want to toast me?"
Gu Juncheng: …
"You drink soda and I take medicine?"
Lin Qingping chuckled, "My mother told me to do it, so I have to follow her instructions. Well, I shouldn't drink cold drinks, right? It's just like a woman's uterine cold..."
Of course, the following words were all her own nonsense.
"Lin Qingping..." He called her name with gritted teeth.
"What?" She didn't hear it, tilted her head and looked at him, "You don't want to do it with me?"
Gu Juncheng looked at her deeply, raised his glass and clinked it with hers, then drank all the medicine in one breath.
"Gu Juncheng..." Lin Qingping sat in the yard. The April night was also warm. The yard was filled with the aroma of barbecue. The person she cared about most was right beside her. The atmosphere was quite good.
She looked at the bright moon in the sky and called his name, "We should drink red wine tonight."
Gu Juncheng glanced at her and said, "With your alcohol tolerance..." He remembered how she behaved after drinking that night at the home of the village party secretary of Gujia Village...
"What's wrong with my alcohol tolerance?" She was unconvinced. "I can't drink white wine, but I can still drink red wine."
"Then I'll go buy it now..." He stood up and prepared to wash his hands.
"Forget it." She held him back, "You drank the medicine, you can't drink alcohol."
You can’t mention decoctions. As soon as you mention this word, Gu Juncheng gets a headache.
He glanced at Lin Qingping, and seeing that she still didn't notice anything, he snorted inwardly and sat down again to slice the lamb leg.
Lin Qingping also put the roast duck she bought on the rack to re-roast it. The skin was roasted until it was charred, and it tasted like a completely different flavor.
The four of them were in no hurry. They slowly roasted and ate. Before they knew it, the moon was above the treetops. Gu Youlian and Sister Zhao also came back and they gathered together to eat another round.
Lin Qingping never told Gu Juncheng that today was her birthday, nor did she let him tell her.
In her previous life, she only received birthday gifts from Gu Juncheng. In this life, she only cares about him.
As long as he remembers, it will be fine...
The barbecue ended when the night dew grew heavier and Xiaomai and Zhiyuan began to yawn.
After quickly cleaning up the yard, Gu Youlian took Xiaomai to the next door.
On this side, Zhiyuan now takes a shower by himself and no longer needs anyone to watch over his daily routine. Soon, Lin Qingping's house also fell into the tranquility of the night.
Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng haven't seen each other for two months, but in fact, they have had very little physical contact since the Chinese New Year because her mother-in-law had told them to be moderate while drinking the medicine.
She was nervous too.
How could I not want to?
When he lay down, the scent of the soap on his body made him feel warm from head to toe.
but……
Her mind was full of thoughts, and before she could finish saying "but", she was hugged by him.
"Gu Juncheng..." She nervously put her arm between her and him.
