◎Eat pot~◎
It gets dark early in winter. When the two got home, it was drizzling and the house was no warmer than outside.
Jiang Che hurried to light up the kang, while Wei Xuan went to the kitchen to boil some hot water for a bath and to eat some noodles to fill her stomach.
By the time the two of them went to bed, it was already dark outside.
“It gets dark so early in the winter.”
"Can't sleep? If you can't sleep, let's find something to do." Without waiting for Wei Xuan to answer, Jiang Che blocked his mouth.
The next day they had to go to work again, but luckily they didn’t need to make braised meat now, so they both got up a little later than usual.
Section 19
When he got off work in the evening, Jiang Che told Wei Xuan that he had made an appointment with Song Jianjun to come over for dinner on the eighth day of the New Year.
...
...
"Is he alone?"
"It's just him for now. I'll ask the other two if I meet them."
Wei Xuan had no objection. Since there were more people, she could just add two dishes. Now that she was cooking and Jiang Che helped wash the vegetables, it was even easier for her.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Che went straight home after get off work to help his wife. When Song Jianjun and Jiang Tao arrived, Wei Xuan's vegetables were already in the pot.
She thought that two men coming to dinner would definitely drink.
So she prepared a pot today.
Just fry the base ingredients, move the stove to the main room, let them eat while adding vegetables to the pot, and then prepare a plate of fried peanuts for them.
She prepared a lot of blanched dishes. In addition to cabbage, radish and winter melon, she also bought tofu, bean curd and bean sprouts. The meat dishes were the vegetarian meatballs and meatballs she had made earlier, as well as fish slices and pork slices. She also made some egg dumplings.
These were the only dishes available in winter, but fortunately she prepared plenty of each, enough for them to eat.
If it was not enough, she would prepare some noodles, dumplings, etc. for them. They had ready-made ones at home and could just be heated up and eaten, which was convenient.
The two guys followed Jiang Che to the kitchen to greet Wei Xuan.
Seeing that their entry had completely blocked out the already limited light, Wei Xuan quickly sent them away, saying, "You guys go sit in the main room. We'll be eating soon. Don't stand here. The smell in the kitchen is choking." The weather was cold, so Wei Xuan added a lot of chili peppers to the bottom of the pot.
The two men were quite familiar with her, so they didn't bother to be polite. They just said hello and went to the next room.
While eating, they drank wine and Wei Xuan sat beside them eating the dishes, and she could also help them add more dishes in time.
The three men were chatting about things in the past. Wei Xuan couldn't get a word in, but she listened with great interest.
Song Jianjun seemed to remember something and took the time to ask Wei Xuan, "Sister-in-law, has Qianqian contacted you recently? I didn't have time to go back to the county town during the Chinese New Year this year, but I heard from my mother that she seemed to have some unhappiness with her family."
Jiang Che is one year older than Song Jianjun. Wei Xuan used to call Song Jianjun "brother" together with Bian Qianqian. But now, she is suddenly called "sister-in-law". Even though she has heard it once before, she still feels a little uncomfortable.
After she had adjusted herself a little, she seriously thought about the question he had just asked. To be honest, Wei Xuan had never thought about having any contact with Bian Qianqian. For one thing, she had just arrived and encountered such a major life event as marrying Jiang Che, so she had no time to take care of this friend.
Secondly, she subconsciously avoided friends who had a good relationship with the original owner, for fear of being discovered.
So, when faced with Song Jianjun's question, she could only shake her head regretfully to indicate that she was not quite sure.
Song Jianjun just asked casually. Seeing that Wei Xuan didn't know, he didn't take it seriously and turned to interrupt the conversation between the other two.
Jiang Che and Jiang Tao were talking about his upcoming marriage.
Song Jianjun was envious when he heard this: "You are all married, but I am still not married."
"You have high standards." Jiang Tao knew that among their friends, apart from Jiang Che, Song Jianjun's family conditions were also very good. Although his own family was also a dual-income family, it was still a little worse than theirs.
When Song Jianjun heard him say this, he cried out in injustice: "Do I have high standards? I just want to find someone I like." As he spoke, he looked at the food in the bowl, pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, it's not bad to have good cooking skills like my sister-in-law." At least he can eat comfortably.
"Get out of the way," Jiang Che kicked him. "What good things are you thinking? How can my wife compare to ordinary people?"
Song Jianjun staggered after being kicked by Jiang Che. After he came to his senses, he felt that it was not a good idea to say that in front of Wei Xuan, so he quickly laughed it off and said, "Oh, I'm just envious of you because my sister-in-law is so good at cooking. I don't mean anything else, haha."
Jiang Che rolled his eyes at him and decided not to bother with this fool. Wei Xuan also smiled and said it was okay.
Jiang Tao gloated and picked up the wine glass and said to him, "Come on, I wish you can find a sister-in-law that suits your taste soon."
Song Jianjun clinked glasses with him in frustration, "What's so great about having a wife? ?
After finishing the meal, it was already late. The three of them had been drinking a lot that night. Jiang Che sent the two of them out and came back to see Wei Xuan cleaning the table. He said, "Wife, you take a rest and I'll do it."
Wei Xuan saw that he could hardly stand, so she helped him to sit down: "Alright, let me do it, you sit down quickly or you will fall again later."
Jiang Che was indeed feeling a little dizzy, and he could hardly open his eyes as he leaned back in his chair.
Wei Xuan is now very skillful at work. She cleans the table in no time and puts the dishes in the kitchen to be washed tomorrow. She then goes to boil some water for her bath later.
The pot we ate in the house tonight is all covered with smell and I can’t sleep without washing it.
After the water was boiled, he went to the next room to call Jiang Che, who was already snoring.
"Get up quickly. You will definitely catch a cold if you sleep here." Wei Xuan quickly went to pat him on the shoulder.
Jiang Che was pulled up by her and was confused for a moment before he woke up: "Alright?"
"What's up? Get up, take a shower and go to bed."
"Yeah," Jiang Che agreed and sat for a while before getting up and going to the kitchen to get some water for a bath.
Wei Xuan was relieved when she saw that he was really awake. She ignored him and continued to add water to the pot to boil.
By the time Wei Xuan finished her bath and came into the room, Jiang Che had already fallen asleep.
The next morning, Wei Xuan asked him, "Why did Jiang Tao come alone yesterday? Why didn't the friend who was with him last time call?"
Jiang Che took the towel off his face and said, "Are you talking about Wu Feng? I called him, but he said that his wife had something to do at her parents' home and he didn't have time."
"Oh," Wei Xuan asked out of curiosity. Seeing that he had washed his face, she handed him a glass of boiled water: "Drink some water quickly. You drank so much yesterday and didn't even get up to drink a sip of water at night."
Jiang Che just happened to be extremely thirsty, so he smiled foolishly at his wife, picked up the teacup and started drinking it.
A few days after the eighth day of the first lunar month, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival. On this day, Jiang Che brought Wei Xuan back to the Jiang family to celebrate the festival. Jiang's mother also asked the two of them to take gifts and visit Aunt Jiang.
"On the second day of the Chinese New Year, your aunt came back but you were not there to see her. This is Xiaoxuan's first year married into the family, so you have to go and get to know her family."
Father Jiang also nodded: "Yes, your mother is right, go quickly, you can come back for lunch after you go."
So, the young couple came back and had to stand up and walk out before they could even sit down.
