"Drink." Liu Dajiang nodded quickly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip carefully.
Kang Kang also picked up the soup in his bowl and wanted to clink glasses with Liu Dajiang.
Liu Dajiang protected the wine glass in his hand and didn't dare to actually clink glasses with Kang Kang's.
He only has this one glass of wine, if it gets spilled, it will be gone.
The way Liu Dajiang carefully protected his wine made everyone at the table laugh.
"It's just a glass of wine, right? Look at you, why are you being so cautious?"
Qi Huilan gave him a reproachful look and picked up another piece of meat with her chopsticks.
"Don't just drink, eat some meat."
"You eat too." Liu Dajiang put down his wine glass and picked up some meat for Qi Huilan.
Gu Guizhi picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks for each of his two sons. When he turned around, he saw Qi Mengmeng staring at Liu Dajiang's wine glass.
He lowered his voice and said, "It's cold today, Uncle Liu, it's okay if you just drink a small cup."
Qi Mengmeng quickly looked away and took a sip of the soup in the bowl.
Was she worried that Liu Dajiang had drunk too much? It was a small glass of wine, and it would be fine even if she drank it. She just wanted to drink more.
But she was still breastfeeding and definitely couldn't drink alcohol, so she didn't even mention it.
Today's hotpot meal lasted for more than an hour. Everyone enjoyed it very much and felt warm after finishing it.
An An and Kang Kang started yawning after they finished eating. Qi Mengmeng asked them to walk around the house for a few laps before going to bed.
Liu Dajiang originally wanted to help with the washing, but Qi Huilan saw that it was getting late and was worried that he would be late, so she urged him to go to work.
Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi wanted to help wash, but were pushed out by Qi Huilan.
"You two go to the house and look after the two kids. I'll do it myself for a few nights."
Qi Mengmeng took a look and found that there were indeed not many bowls and chopsticks today.
All the dishes were eaten, even the sesame paste in everyone's bowls was eaten with the noodles, and all the bowls and plates only needed to be simply washed.
"Mom, you have to wash them with hot water at night." Qi Mengmeng reminded Qi Huilan.
"Mom, I know. It's so cold today, I definitely won't use cold water." Qi Huilan insisted on washing the dishes herself and finally pushed the two of them out.
Gu Guizhi poured the hot water into the basin before going out.
Qi Mengmeng stood in the yard, stretched out her hands and let the snowflakes fall on them. She tilted her face up and felt the coolness of the snowflakes falling on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Guizhi came over and asked.
"The snow in the capital is not as heavy as in the provincial capital. I remember that year when you were going on a mission, the snowflakes would turn into a snowman if you stood in the yard."
Qi Mengmeng recalled the heavy snow that year. It was Lu Xiaochun who swept the snow outside the door.
Of course Gu Guizhi remembered that mission, when Qi Mengmeng was still pregnant.
Speaking of which, he was not around when his four children were born.
"There's too little snow today, so I probably can't make a snowman." Qi Mengmeng looked at the snow all over the yard, feeling a little regretful.
Although the ground was white and snowflakes were floating in the air, there was too little snow.
"Dad, do you want to make a snowman? Let me help you." Kang Kang ran out of the house happily.
The charming atmosphere between Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi disappeared.
"Then follow me to sweep the snow, and we'll see if we can make a snowman from the snow." Gu Guizhi successfully tricked Kang Kang, and the father and son each took a broom and began to sweep the snow in the yard.
An An heard the noise in the room and came out yawning.
"Come on, bro. Dad wants to build us a snowman."
Kang Kang excitedly called An An's name.
An An raised his eyebrows, looked at the snow in the sky, and then looked at the snow in the yard. He felt that this little snow would not be enough to make a snowman.
Kang Kang waved the broom in his hand vigorously, and Qi Mengmeng couldn't help laughing.
"An An, you should go play with Kang Kang too."
Although you can't make a snowman, it's good to sweep the snow, just as an exercise after dinner.
An An was an obedient child, so he also took a broom and helped sweep the snow in the yard together.
Qi Mengmeng was worried about the two children in the house, so she went back to the house to look after the two younger ones.
After a while, Kang Kang excitedly came into the house holding a "little snowman".
"Mom, look, this is the snowman Dad made for me."
A slightly blackened "little snowman" was lying on the woolen gloves that Kang Kang was wearing.
The "little snowman" is about the size of an adult's palm, but it has hands and feet, and even two small black dots on its face, which clearly shows that it is a "snowman."
"Dad said that today's snow is light, so I can only make a small snowman. When it snows heavily, Dad will make a big snowman for me."
Kang Kang showed off excitedly and ran out again.
"Dad said, let Mom take it out after you have a look, otherwise the snow will slip and there will be no snowman."
Qi Mengmeng found it funny. She didn't expect Gu Guizhi to coax Kang Kang in this way.
An An and Kang Kang didn't sleep the whole afternoon and made snowmen outside.
By dinner time, there was already a row of snowmen outside the window, big and small, said to be a family of snowmen.
Qi Mengmeng looked at Gu Guizhi: "I didn't expect you to be so good at coaxing children."
"From now on, as long as I'm at home, I'll be responsible for taking care of the children."
Gu Guizhi loves his children more than most men, but he does not spoil them. Since his health improved, he takes his two children for a run every day.
As An An and Kang Kang have grown taller, the sweaters I knitted last year are already a little short.
After the final exams, there was nothing else to do at school, so Qi Mengmeng began to focus her attention on the cake shop.
Some time ago, Qi Mengmeng rented a shop nearby and moved a large oven there, leaving only a small oven at home.
Qi Mengmeng didn't go because she had exams these days. Du Yuanyuan was responsible for making the cakes in the cake shop, and Ding Xiang was responsible for selling them.
Now that she has time, Qi Mengmeng plans to make a few more cakes.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone needs to visit relatives and buy New Year's goods. It will definitely sell well if we make it now.
Qi Mengmeng also asked someone to remake some paper boxes and prepare to make small cakes with exquisite packaging, so that she could look great when giving them to others.
When the small cake was made, Du Yuanyuan and Dingxiang both applauded.
Although the cakes in the store are delicious, they can immediately be made higher quality once they are packaged in high-quality paper boxes and decorated with ribbons.
Liu Dajiang helped Qi Mengmeng contact several units and planned to purchase some cakes from Qi Mengmeng to distribute as New Year's benefits.
Qi Mengmeng must make this batch of cakes by herself. Only by making her name famous can she seize more market share in the future.
Qi Mengmeng was making cakes inside, while Du Yuanyuan and Ding Xiang were outside greeting guests.
When the landlord, Aunt Huang, came in, Du Yuanyuan noticed her immediately. She walked up to her with a smile and asked her what she wanted to eat today.
Aunt Huang looked unhappy. She looked at the person who was buying things in the store and waited until the person left before she said to Du Yuanyuan, "My daughter, you should find another place. I don't want to rent this store anymore."
