"Zhiqiu, let's go out and eat together first and then cook!"
"Okay, let's take the dumplings and buns out first."
The two of them brought out the food. Chen Yuqing had already opened a bottle of wine and poured three glasses. She didn't expect that they also wanted to drink tonight.
In a cold city, having a couple of drinks is quite normal. So Ye Zhiqiu wasn't surprised that Feng Xiaomei also drank. He was just a little curious about her alcohol tolerance.
Northern women can drink a lot, but some are surprisingly good. When they're dating, they get drunk on just one drink, but after marriage, there are plenty of women who help drunk men back to bed every day and then clean up after themselves.
It’s not that they don’t know how to drink, but if they don’t pretend to be drunk, men have no chance!
After the two of them sat down, Chen Yuqing raised her glass and said happily, "Come on, Zhiqiu, you've worked hard today. You've walked for such a long time to get here, and you've been busy in the kitchen. Let's have a drink together!"
Ye Zhiqiu quickly picked up the wine glass and replied with a smile, "It's not that hard. Aunt Chen is serious. I'm very happy to help cook and eat together! I'll cook for you more often in the future and let you taste the dishes I learned from my masters!"
Feng Xiaomei smiled sweetly, seeming quite satisfied with Ye Zhiqiu's answer. She wasn't lazy, nor did she mind cooking. It was just that her cooking skills were limited. Last time, the dish she cooked wasn't good, and she felt a little guilty about wasting the ingredients.
They drank a glass of wine together and started eating dumplings. Both mother and daughter praised the dumplings stuffed with mackerel.
Ye Zhiqiu was very happy because he was the one who made the filling and they liked it and it was delicious.
Chen Yuqing smiled and said, "Xiaoye, this is my first time eating dumplings stuffed with fish. It's completely beyond my expectations. How did you season it? There's no fishy smell at all, only fresh flavor!"
Ye Zhiqiu swallowed a shrimp dumpling and quickly explained, "Aunt Chen, this stuff is better for removing fishy smells than anything else, Sichuan pepper water. If you don't have Sichuan pepper water, you can only use scallion and ginger water. The main thing is that Spanish mackerel doesn't have much of a smell as long as it's prepared properly."
Chen Yuqing and her daughter nodded repeatedly. It was the first time they heard that this method could remove the fishy smell. At first, when Ye Zhiqiu asked her to soak in pepper water, Feng Xiaomei was a little confused because she didn't know what it was for. So this was how to remove the fishy smell of fish.
"Come on, Xiaoye, let's go. Last time when Banghua got married, I found that you can drink quite well. From now on, we mother and daughter will have company for drinks."
"Hey, let's go! Aunt Chen, I don't dare to brag about other things, but when it comes to drinking, I do have some talent!"
Feng Xiaomei pouted. Because she couldn't drink much, Chen Yuqing never took her out for drinks.
But she refused to give in and drank a glass too!
In fact, don’t be fooled by Feng Xiaomei’s personality, as she seems to be socially anxious and shy, and thinks she is a weak person.
Actually, that's not the case. She's a person who never gives up. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so good at studying. It can only be said that God gave her beauty and talent, but deprived her of the ability to socialize.
In fact, if we have to blame someone, we should blame the Feng family for their preference for boys over girls. Otherwise, such a thing would not have happened, leading to Feng Xiaomei developing this personality.
We had a lively meal and drank two bottles of wine, but I didn't drink too much.
Feng Xiaomei took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Ye Zhiqiu naturally followed her to help.
He stood behind her, surrounding her, washing dishes together and whispering.
"Xiaomei, what are you going to do after the holiday?"
"My uncle-in-law asked me to go research a project with him, but I don't know if I should go. Don't get so close, you're disturbing me while I'm washing the dishes..."
"Hey, blame me, I can't help myself. If you participate in this project, will it be very busy?"
"That's not the case. What Master and his colleagues are researching, well, how should I put it? It's just like work anyway. They seal it up and leave at a certain time. There's no such thing as overtime."
"Anyway, go if you like. I won't stop you from doing this or that all day long. Just go if you want to!"
After a lot of hesitation, the two of them finally finished washing the dishes. When they returned to the living room, Chen Yuqing had already returned to her room.
Feng Xiaomei walked to the window and looked at the snowflakes outside. She said softly, "I hope it won't snow heavily. This blizzard has wiped out many families..."
Ye Zhiqiu hugged her from behind and could feel her body tense up. He placed his chin on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "It shouldn't snow heavily. Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked us to go home and rest after clearing the snow, and then prepare to resume work."
Feng Xiaomei's ears turned red, and she whispered, "Don't talk in my ear, it's itchy..."
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but suck her earlobe, and Feng Xiaomei's originally tense body instantly collapsed in his arms.
"Zhiqiu...don't do this, my legs are so weak..."
Ye Zhiqiu let go of her earlobe and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. I will respect you. It's just that I really hope that time can pass quickly so that I can marry you home!"
Feng Xiaomei snorted softly, "Hmph... You just want to bully me..."
Ye Zhiqiu said shamelessly: "Yes, I want to bully you, I want to bully you for the rest of my life..."
After saying that, he turned Feng Xiaomei around and kissed her deeply. He could feel her heart beating wildly, her frantic breathing, and her hands that were unable to support her chest, which turned into a hug.
Ye Zhiqiu restrained himself and the two of them returned to Feng Xiaomei's room. This was the first time he had stepped into it.
In fact, unlike later generations, not everything in a girl’s room was pink, because there was nothing pink at that time.
But you can see that she likes cleanliness very much and likes everything to be tidy. Even the books she has read on the desk are neatly stacked.
Ye Zhiqiu scratched his head. This was really embarrassing. He was not a person who cared about tidiness, but after marriage, he was afraid that she would have to take care of everything and keep it in order.
Feng Xiaomei's bed was very soft. Although she was embarrassed, she left half of the quilt uncovered when she got into bed.
Ye Zhiqiu chuckled. To be honest, he felt a bit lewd at this moment. But this was also normal. After all, no one could be serious at this time, right?
He took off his sweater, which was knitted for him by Feng Xiaomei. It was not that Wang Xiaolan didn't knit it for him, but the key point was that he was going to come to see her, so he had to wear the sweater she knitted!
When getting into bed, Ye Zhiqiu naturally put his arms around Feng Xiaomei.
"You... the bed is so big, don't get so close..."
"Oh, don't worry, it's so cold now, this is the only way we can huddle together for warmth!"
"Don't move your hands..."
"What? I can't hear you! You want me to kiss you? Okay, I'll do it right away..."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't know when he fell asleep, because he restrained himself and fell asleep very late and very sleepy.
However, their relationship had improved significantly, and their communication had deepened, which was a very good thing. Feng Xiaomei, despite her constant resistance, hadn't made any moves. So Ye Zhiqiu had experienced how good her conscience was...
