"Brother, you are finally here!"
"Brother Yongjun, please move aside. You're blocking my way from talking to my uncle and aunt!"
Ye Zhiqiu pushed aside the crowd and came over to greet He Yongjun, who was talking happily, and their parents one by one.
There were not only their parents in the room, but also He Yongjun's elder brother and sister-in-law, Ma Banghua's aunt, and his so-called cousin Feng Xiaomei!
This girl is really good-looking, and compared to the big girls in Beijing, she is much more delicate. She has an oval face with very small features. She is about 1.6 meters tall, with long legs and a thin waist. Her figure is also very upright.
She was just a very cold person. When Ye Zhiqiu greeted her, she just said "hmm" and showed no sign of speaking.
This made Ye Zhiqiu a little confused. This was not just a cold personality, it was simply ice that had existed for thousands of years!
But this is just the first time I met her. Is it necessary to treat myself like this?
But Ye Zhiqiu didn't mind, even though he said it was a big deal. Feng Xiaomei's looks were to his liking, but he wasn't going to fall head over heels for her the first time he saw her!
So he went to the kitchen with a smile and began to arrange the work: "Aunt Feng, please help me wash the garlic sprouts and green onions, and Aunt Chen, please help me kill the chicken and fish.
Sister-in-law, please help me peel the potatoes and take apart the peppers and remove the seeds.
Well, you will be responsible for peeling the garlic and removing the skin of the ginger. Xiaoting, can you help your brother light the fire?"
After all, they were all very experienced, so under Ye Zhiqiu's arrangement, everyone had work to do, and they worked together to get the job done quickly and effectively.
Feng Xiaomei was still peeling garlic coldly. Seeing that she was not very good at it, Ye Zhiqiu simply took the garlic to be used today, cut off the bottom, and then gave it back to her to peel.
He smiled and said, "Comrade Xiaomei, you have to master the method of work. If you pick at your nails like this, you will easily hurt them."
Feng Xiaomei: "Hmm..."
Ye Zhiqiu was a little depressed now. This girl looked quite normal. Could she be a mute?
If it wasn't a bit too rude to ask so rashly, Ye Zhiqiu would have wanted to ask her if she was dumb and couldn't speak!
At ten o'clock, Ye Zhiqiu began to soak the boiled chicken. This thing didn't need to be eaten hot, so he started to stew the drunken goose after it was done.
Finally free, Ye Zhiqiu took the cigarette from Ma Banghua, which turned out to be a Zhonghua with a filter. He said with a smile, "Wow! Brother Banghua actually spent a lot of money to buy such a good cigarette just to see his father-in-law!"
Before Ma Banghua could speak, his female friend Chen Xiaojuan replied with a smile: "Hahaha, Xiaoye, you don't know, your brother Banghua and his eldest brother were rolling on the ground in order to grab this pack of cigarettes from him...!"
Ma Banghua felt embarrassed and interrupted hurriedly, "Oh, my dear mother, please stop talking! How can I still act like a brother in front of Brother Ye?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Yes, right? You have to pay me hush money, otherwise I will start with Brother Zhou and the others at the door and sing your heroic deeds throughout the capital."
Ma Banghua said to Chen Xiaojuan with a depressed look on his face: "Mom, did you see clearly? The good child Xiaoye in your eyes is not as obedient as you see. He even extorted cigarettes and alcohol from me..."
Chen Xiaojuan said cheerfully, "What's wrong with Xiaoye lighting your cigarette? Mom is not one to help others, look at how many times Xiaoye has cooked for you.
If he hadn't helped with cooking, would you have been able to get married to Xiuying so quickly? You should be grateful and repay your friends, and you can't think that it's natural for your friends to help you! "
"Aunt Chen, that's too harsh! Hehe, if you're going to say that, why not just give Brother Banghua's salary to me!"
"That won't do. Your brother Banghua is getting married soon, and his salary has to be handed over to your sister-in-law Xiuying..."
As they chatted and laughed, it was already half past eleven, and guests from both families began to arrive. With so many people chatting and chatting, the whole living room was bustling with activity.
Of course, the two families had to eat separately during the meal, as they had to discuss matters like marriage. Even if the two families had a good relationship, out of respect for the woman, they could not discuss it at the same table.
Now that everyone was gathered, Ye Zhiqiu began cooking. The drunken goose and white-cut chicken were already prepared. Because they were using a coal stove and two pots together, the rest of the dishes were also cooked very quickly!
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu, who was cooking, saw Feng Xiaomei standing beside him, curiously watching him cook.
A thought flashed through his mind: this girl might not just be cold, but extremely socially anxious?
There were only two people in the kitchen at the moment, and Feng Xiaomei didn't have much to offer. She simply went out to greet the people who arrived, then ran back to the kitchen to watch Ye Zhiqiu cook.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu had just made the sweet and sour pork ribs, but unfortunately, this dish is best served with pineapple!
But now Ye Zhiqiu uses tomatoes, sugar and white vinegar to make a sweet and sour sauce, which is also very popular with everyone.
He saw Feng Xiaomei waving at him with her eyes wide open and a cold expression on her face, but in his heart, she looked a little silly.
He whispered, "Comrade Xiaomei, come over here and taste this dish for me to see if it's sweet enough."
Feng Xiaomei gave her a puzzled look, but after thinking it over, she finally hummed in agreement. She picked up a piece of sweet and sour spareribs with her chopsticks, blew on it, and began to eat.
Facing Ye Zhiqiu's questioning eyes, Feng Xiaomei held it in for a long time before whispering, "Delicious..."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled immediately. He confirmed it! This girl is really socially anxious! The coldness on her face is probably because she is worried about others talking to her, so she pretends to be like this!
However, this was the first time Ye Zhiqiu had encountered someone with social anxiety, and he didn't know how to get along with her so that she wouldn't be afraid.
So he didn't dare to say much, he just cooked the food and then fed it to her under the pretext of tasting it.
By the time the dishes were ready, Feng Xiaomei, who had been eating for a long time, had begun to understand that Ye Zhiqiu was trying to be nice to her. So, she became even more expressionless, holding the corners of her clothes in both hands, and she was so nervous that she didn't know how to face Ye Zhiqiu.
Fortunately, Ye Zhiqiu also noticed that this little look was due to nervousness, so he said to Feng Xiaomei: "Comrade Xiaomei, the food is ready now. Can you help me ask if it needs to be served now?"
Feng Xiaomei, who was originally nervous, looked relieved after hearing this. She nodded and walked out as if escaping.
Seeing her like this, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but laugh. Not only was this socially anxious girl pretty, she was also quite cute!
After a while, they learned that the dishes were ready to be served, and a group of sisters-in-law and aunts came in and started to bring out the dishes.
