Chapter 88 Two Cats
Chapter 88 Two Cats
"This is grilled fish, fried peanuts, twice-cooked pork with wild garlic, pickled cabbage, stir-fried yam, and fried fish."
Grandfather smiled and said to An Yue, "Yueyue, come on, come on, sit down and eat together!"
At this time, Lin Hao washed his hands and returned to the main room.
An Yue sat at one side of the octagonal table and Lin Hao sat at the other side.
Lin Qingxue was eating grilled fish and asked curiously, "Yueyue, is this dish called... grilled fish?"
An Yue smiled and nodded.
"Everyone, please try it. It tastes really good!" After saying that, Lin Qingxue reached out his chopsticks to pick up the grilled fish.
After three rounds of drinks, grandfather Jiang Wuwen laughed heartily and said, "Brother Lin! I'm not bragging. My granddaughter's cooking skills are even better than those of the imperial chefs in the palace!"
Lin Qingxue spit out the fishbone and responded, "What my brother said is true! It's absolutely true!"
Grandmother smiled and glanced at her old man, and said, "Look around, there is no one in the whole Shijing Town who is as boastful as you."
Suddenly, everyone at the table burst into laughter.
Only Lin Hao didn't smile or say a word. He was concentrating on eating the food voraciously.
The old lady, Mrs. Zhong, watched her grandson eat with such relish, and could not help but smile and remind him, "Hao, eat slowly, be careful of the fish bones."
Lin Hao raised his head and smiled brightly at everyone, then continued to eat.
Halfway through their meal, my uncle and An Nian came into the yard.
As soon as An Nian entered the yard, he shouted, "Sister...Sister..."
An Yue put down her bowl and chopsticks, quickly stood up and walked towards the yard.
An Yue walked under the eaves and said with a smile: "Niannian, why are you so happy?"
An Nian ran straight towards An Yue and said with a grin, "Uncle Zhang Kai gave Nian Nian the New Year's money."
"Okay, okay, then you must keep it well every year!" After saying that, An Yue led An Nian into the house and sat next to her.
Uncle Jiang Chenghai hurried to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.
Jiang Chenghai walked into the main room, saw that there were guests, and hurriedly called out politely: "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, Happy New Year!"
The old couple smiled and nodded at him. Mrs. Zhong said, "Ah Hai, please sit down and have dinner with us."
"Okay, I'll serve some food to Wan'er first." Jiang Chenghai stood at the corner of the eight-immortals table, picking up dishes with chopsticks.
It was quickly clipped and sent to Wei's room.
He went to the kitchen, got a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, and ran to the main room.
He smiled and walked towards Lin Hao, rubbed Lin Hao's head with his hand, and said, "Little Haohao, you've grown taller again!"
Lin Hao asked in a low voice: "Uncle Ah Hai, I didn't even see you when I came here, where did you go just now?"
Jiang Chenghai is a few years older than Lin Hao, and they can play together. In the early years, when he followed his grandparents to pay New Year's greetings, it was Jiang Chenghai who took him out to play.
Jiang Chenghai also lowered his head and whispered, "In the village, I went to your uncle Kai's house to play."
"Hey! If I had known you were going to Uncle Kai's house, I would have gone to look for you. I was left alone and bored, and was even forced by Sister An Yue to help her cook."
Jiang Chenghai was so excited that he almost spit out his food. He lowered his head and leaned closer to ask with a smile, "You...you were forced to cook?"
Lin Hao took a big bite of food and replied, "Sister An Yue said she wanted to teach me how to cook, but when I entered the kitchen, she asked me to sit under the stove."
After hearing this, Jiang Chenghai was shaking from trying to hold back his laughter. He even nudged Lin Hao's arm with his elbow and said, "Don't feel wronged, kid. You haven't even eaten a bite less!"
Lin Hao smiled and continued eating with big mouthfuls.
Grandma swallowed a mouthful of rice, looked up and said, "Ah Hai, you took Nian Nian to Kaizi's house, why did you accept his New Year's money? Isn't that inappropriate?"
Jiang Chenghai replied: "What's wrong with that? I gave New Year's money to Goudaner, and Kaizi gave New Year's money to Annian, just for fun."
Grandfather said calmly: "Why do you still care about these things? The children are grown up and have their own opinions."
Lin Qingxue called his grandfather Jiang Wuwen and said, "Come on, old brother, let's continue drinking."
After saying that, the two continued to drink by themselves.
The old lady Zhong smiled and said, "Yes! Ah Hai is married now and he is a grown-up. What is there for me to worry about?"
"Sister-in-law, you know that this kid has been a worry since he was young!" After the grandmother said this, she did not forget to roll her eyes at her son.
Jiang Chenghai grumbled in a low voice, "Mom, it's New Year's Day, can't you just take advantage of the opportunity to say something?"
Grandmother Zheng whispered to her son, "You... look at your brother Ahua, he's now an official in the county, how good it is!"
The old lady, Mrs. Zhong, quickly said modestly, "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. How can Hua Ge'er be an official? He is just an insignificant official."
Grandmother Zheng lowered her head and whispered to Zhong, "Sister-in-law, this kid of ours has been causing trouble everywhere since he was young. He has only been quiet in the past two years!"
Lin Hao smiled evilly and whispered, "Uncle Ah Hai, it seems that your great achievements in the past twenty years will be unforgettable to me forever!"
Jiang Chenghai rolled his eyes at Lin Hao and said, "You're trying to choke me too, aren't you?"
Lin Hao chuckled and said, "Don't dare!"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a large table of people gathered together to eat breakfast and dinner.
After dinner, I drank some tea while it was still light.
Lin Qingxue, who was sitting and drinking tea together, turned to look at his wife, and their eyes met.
The old lady, Mrs. Zhong, immediately stood up and helped Lin Qingxue up.
Lin Qingxue opened his arms vertically, bowed and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, it's getting late, we will go back to town first."
Then he continued, "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law, for your hospitality, and thank you, girl Yueyue, for the meal."
The grandfather helped Lin Qingxue up, cupped his hands and said in return: "Come on, come on, it's Chinese New Year, you should go back and have a family reunion, so we won't ask you to stay."
Lin Hao walked over slowly, straightened his back, bowed and said, "Uncle, we are sorry to bother you for a long time. We will take our leave now."
He turned around and said to An Yue, "Sister An Yue, your cooking skills are superb. The dishes are delicious. I hope I can eat the delicious dishes made by Sister An Yue again next time."
An Yue smiled at Lin Hao with two dimples on her lips, and said playfully, "Then next time Brother Lin Hao comes, you have to help Yueyue pass the firewood."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Grandma giggled and joked, "Be careful next time! Don't turn into two big cats again!"
An Yue lowered her head and smiled. Lin Hao looked at An Yue, then suddenly smiled a little embarrassedly and scratched his head.
For some reason, his young and handsome face actually became a little flushed.
