Song Ziqing skillfully cut the chicken into small pieces, put them in a pot, added an appropriate amount of water and ginger slices, brought it to a boil, and then simmered it over low heat.
Lin Chengyu was in charge of cutting the meat. He was skilled at cutting the pork into evenly sized cubes, then pan-frying them until golden brown on both sides, before adding soy sauce, sugar, cooking wine and other seasonings to braise them.
The two worked together seamlessly and quickly prepared the meal.
Night falls and the city lights come on.
Song Jingwei and his wife also returned, and the family sat at the dining table, enjoying the sumptuous dinner.
Song Jingwei and his wife savored the braised pork and chicken soup made by their daughter and son-in-law, finding the taste exceptionally delicious.
Song Ziqing picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, savoring its deliciousness.
She realized she hadn't had such delicious braised pork in a long time, and she was quite moved.
Lin Chengyu also noticed Song Ziqing's emotions. He gently held her hand and said, "Ziqing, doesn't it taste great? I feel like my cooking skills have improved a lot since I haven't cooked in so long."
Song Ziqing couldn't help but praise, "You made it so delicious. I think this is the best braised pork I've ever eaten."
Lin Chengyu smiled and said, "You're great too, the chicken soup you made is delicious."
Song Ziqing looked at his parents and asked, "Mom and Dad, what do you think of the braised pork and chicken soup tonight? We made both of these dishes!"
As for the other dishes, they were made by the two chefs at home, so the taste was definitely not bad. They had all been exchanged for ingredients from their ring space.
The whole family was very satisfied with the meal.
"That's great! Now that you're studying abroad, we won't have to worry about you going hungry!"
Zhang Lihua said with a smile that although she was joking, she still felt that no matter how good other people's skills were, they were not as good as her own.
Song Jingwei, however, looked like a loving father and said, "When Ziqing and Xiaoyu go abroad, you must bring the bodyguards, chefs, and nannies with you. They are used to being taken care of, how can they adapt to a life of cleaning and cooking on their own?!"
Furthermore, when studying abroad, the most important thing is to dedicate most of your time to your studies, and not waste it on personal matters. If your family has enough money, you can hire help when necessary.
Anyway, Hong Kong has an overpopulation problem right now, there are plenty of people for us to choose from, so we can hire more talented and capable people to help us with our business.
Xiaoyu and Ziqing's plan for Songlin Group requires a lot of talent just for the development of its various branches. I see the company is doing well now, Xiaoyu, you could definitely recruit more talent as a talent pool.
"Dad is right, we do need more talent."
Lin Chengyu nodded in agreement, his eyes revealing his longing and anticipation for the future. "However, I think we can also participate in more club activities at school, make some like-minded friends, and perhaps find some outstanding talents among them."
Song Ziqing smiled as he looked at Lin Chengyu, thinking to himself that this kid had quite a few ideas. He expressed his support for Lin Chengyu's idea, saying, "That's a good idea. We can expand our network by participating in various activities, and at the same time improve our abilities."
"Well, it's good that you young people have your own ideas."
Song Jingwei said with relief, "But you should also take care of your health and not overwork yourself."
His eyes were filled with concern and worry. He knew that young people were always full of passion and energy, but they were also prone to overwork.
After dinner, Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu helped the nanny clear the dishes and put them in the kitchen before going to the living room to chat with their parents.
They talked about their future plans and the challenges they might encounter abroad.
Lin Chengyu said, "I hope to learn more advanced technologies and management experience abroad. It would be even better if I could find some scarce talents. Then Songlin Group, which will not lack money and talents, will develop better."
Song Ziqing also expressed her hope to develop in the arts, and she dreams of one day showcasing her talent on the world's art stage.
As we chatted, time flew by.
Song Jingwei got up and walked to the window, looking at the night outside, his heart filled with emotion.
He knows that his children have grown up, that they have their own dreams and aspirations, and he is proud of them.
At the same time, he also realized that he was getting old, and he hoped to do more for the children in his lifetime and lay a solid foundation for their future.
"It's getting late, you should all go and rest." Song Jingwei turned around and said to the children with a smile, "There's still a lot to do tomorrow."
"Okay, Dad, Mom, goodnight," Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu said together, then got up and left the living room, returning to their rooms. They knew that there was still a long road ahead, and they needed to work harder and be more determined to walk it.
With her parents by her side, Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu's married life was very happy. On this day, she had just returned home from school when she smelled the aroma of steamed yellow croaker. The dish, which she usually found delicious, made her feel nauseous.
Lin Chengyu cared about her the most. As soon as he saw that she was not feeling well, he quickly went over to support her and asked, "Qingqing, do you have a cold? Did you not cover yourself properly with the blanket last night and get a chill in your stomach?"
Song Ziqing thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any other cold symptoms today. I just smelled the steamed yellow croaker and thought it smelled a bit fishy, which made me feel nauseous."
Zhang Lihua then realized what was happening and asked in confusion, "Xiaoyu, Ziqing, didn't you take any precautions? Ziqing's reaction makes me think she's pregnant?"
As Song Ziqing's mother, Zhang Lihua was most sensitive to her daughter's physical reactions. She became suspicious and wondered if Song Ziqing might be pregnant.
Lin Chengyu and Song Ziqing were both taken aback by what Song's mother said, and they began to consider this possibility as well.
When Song Jingwei, the patriarch of the Song family, heard the news, he was both surprised and excited.
He never imagined that he would become a grandfather in his early forties, and the news made him extremely excited.
He began to fantasize about his future life, imagining himself playing with his grandson and teaching him, and a smile appeared on his face.
The whole family was shocked by the sudden news, and they were immersed in anticipation and joy for the future.
In the end, Lin Chengyu suggested taking Song Ziqing to the hospital for a gynecological examination so that everyone would stop speculating. If she was really pregnant, it would be like a prenatal checkup; if she wasn't, it would be like a full-body checkup.
