In order to entertain them home, stepmother Zhang Xiaoman prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes. It can be seen that she put a lot of thought into this meal, just to give Lin Wei a good impression.
"What are you doing standing around? Sit down quickly." Zhang Xiaoman came out with a plate of dishes and greeted everyone: "Weiwei, sit down quickly! Xiaohao, sit down quickly and take more care of Weiwei."
"Auntie, please sit down quickly." Lin Wei quickly gave way.
"You guys eat first, there is another fish, come when it's ready." Zhang Xiaoman greeted everyone.
"Auntie, don't do it, it's enough." Lin Wei quickly advised.
When Wu Hao saw this, he also said: "Aunt Zhang, stop doing it. It will be a waste if you do too much. Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve and we can't eat leftovers."
After hearing what Wu Hao said, Wu Jianhua, who was taking out two bottles of wine from the wine cabinet, immediately said, "You can just stop doing it if the children tell you not to do it. It's not too late to do it tomorrow. I'm happy today. Sit down quickly." Bar."
Seeing everyone saying this, Zhang Xiaoman could only nod and sit down. Wu Hao is right, if you overdo it and waste it, you won’t be able to eat leftovers tomorrow on New Year’s Eve.
Wu Jianhua wiped the two bottles of wine with a wet rag, handed the bottle of red wine in his hand to Wu Hao, and then smiled at Lin Wei and Zhang Xiaoman: "This is the year or five when a friend came back from traveling abroad. The Bordeaux that was sent to me later has been sitting there without drinking, so take it out today and you guys can try it."
Lin Wei saw this and said quickly: "Uncle, I just need to drink juice. This wine lasts for a long time. It's a pity to open it."
Lin Wei stopped not because she thought the wine was expensive, but because she thought it was inappropriate to ask the other party to spend money right after he arrived. Besides, Wu Jianhua had given it away for six or seven years. It was indeed rare. It would be a pity to drink it like this. Red wine does not get better as long as it is kept. Generally, five, six, seven or eight years is the most suitable and has the best quality. For example, in some TV series and movies, there is always Lafite from 1982, and there are basically very few century-old red wines. Usually it's just a gimmick, or a feeling of drinking money.
"Hey, wine is for people to drink. It's okay, I still have a few bottles." Wu Jianhua gestured to Cao Wei with the Maotai in his hand and said: "Let's just drink this one you brought back last year. "
Wu Hao ignored Lin Wei's stopping look, opened the wine, poured it into the goblet and brought it to the two of them.
Wu Tong, who was next to him, looked at the rose-red wine in the goblet and couldn't help but licked his lips, showing a salivating expression. Wu Hao said angrily: "Children drink whatever they want, just drink juice by yourself."
As he spoke, Wu Hao placed a bucket of Huiyuan juice directly in front of Wu Tong. When Wu Tong saw this, he pouted and said angrily: "Juice is juice, I'm sixteen."
"What's wrong with Sixteen? Isn't Sixteen a minor?" Wu Hao asked her.
After hearing his words, Wu Tong pursed his lips even higher, staring at him with eyes as if he wanted to eliminate him.
"Okay, you two started bickering as soon as you came back." Wu Jianhua said to Wu Hao, "It's okay to pour her some and try it, she's greedy."
Yes, this is specifically to cause trouble. Wu Hao was speechless and had to take a new goblet, and then went a little deeper into it, but not much.
After taking the wine glass, the girl finally grinned.
On the other side, Wu Jianhua also poured a drink for Cao Wei and Wu Hao. After receiving Li Wenming's experience, Cao Wei was not too polite, but took the wine glass generously. Although I didn't hear him drinking much because of work, I heard Li Wenming say privately that this guy had a good drinking capacity.
"Come, let's have one." Wu Jianhua immediately picked up the wine glass and said.
"Come on, do it!" Everyone immediately picked up their wine glasses and clinked them.
"Ah, why does it taste like this?" Wu Tong frowned, showing an expression that was hard to swallow.
Ha ha ha ha……
"I told you not to drink it, but you insist on drinking it." Zhang Xiaoman gasped when he saw his daughter's appearance, then handed the juice to her hand.
Wu Tong took the juice and took a sip before he calmed down.
Zhang Xiaoman, on the other hand, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Come on, use the chopsticks quickly, Weiwei, try this. Thank you very much for Weiwei's help for today's meal. This girl is really good at cooking." "
"Auntie, I'll do it myself."
…
In a cheerful atmosphere, the meal ended successfully. After the meal, Lin Wei rushed to clean up the mess, but Zhang Xiaoman held her back until she could.
In the end, Wu Hao had to step in to stop the two of them, and then went to the kitchen to clean up the mess himself. As for Zhang Xiaoman, he took Lin Wei to sit down and chatted happily.
As for Wu Jianhua, he and Cao Wei were sitting next to the TV, watching TV and drinking tea and chatting.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Wu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, then took off his apron and walked out.
Zhang Xiaoman, who was chatting over there, saw this and waved to him quickly: "You're done, come over and have a drink of water and take a rest."
Wu Hao nodded, then walked over and picked up the water glass and sat down: "What are you talking about? You are so happy."
"Haha, aunt told me some interesting stories about your school days." Lin Wei smiled at him.
Wu Hao was a little embarrassed when he heard this and said: "Those were young people who were ignorant and messed around."
Seeing his embarrassed look, Lin Wei, Zhang Xiaoman, and Wu Tong, who was eavesdropping next to him, all laughed.
Zhang Xiaoman picked up the fruit plate and handed it to the two of them. Wu Hao then inserted a piece of apple and started eating it.
Zhang Xiaoman handed a piece to Wu Tong, then smiled at the two of them and said, "You two have known each other for more than a year. Do you have any plans for the next step?"
"Next plan?" Wu Hao was a little confused, and Lin Wei's face suddenly turned red.
Not only a few of them, but also Wu Jianhua who was talking to Cao Wei over there stopped, pretending to want to hear their answers.
"I just plan to get married and have children when I want to." Zhang Xiaoman glanced at Lin Wei and then smiled at Wu Hao.
"Uh... don't rush this yet, we are still young." Wu Hao said with some embarrassment.
"You are already twenty-four or five years old, and you are still young." Zhang Xiaoman rolled her eyes at him, and then said to Lin Wei: "You guys are not young anymore, it's time to consider this matter."
Lin Wei's face was red, she glanced at Wu Hao, and then said shyly to Zhang Xiaoman: "Auntie, our career has just started, so we should wait for two years before we talk about it."
When Wu Hao saw this, he also said: "Well, that's right, our careers are in a period of rapid growth now, so let's put our experience into our careers now.
As for getting married and having children, let's wait for two years before discussing it. Nowadays, it is advocated to have children later in life, and it is not too late to get married and have children at the age of thirty. "
"What are you advocating for late marriage and late childbearing? Now we are allowing two children. Haven't you seen the news? It is said that our country's aging population is serious, the young labor force is shrinking rapidly, and we are considering a comprehensive liberalization of the childbirth policy." Zhang Xiaoman pointed at him Education Road.
At this time, Wu Jianhua couldn't help but speak up: "The so-called self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace. If you want your career to go smoothly, you must have a stable family environment to support you. This is very helpful for your career.
Why did the ancients put harmonizing the family before governing the country and the world? They believed that the family is the epitome of the country, and those who manage their own families well can also manage the country well. A person who can govern his or her own country well will surely make the world full of beauty and peace.
So you should think about it carefully. This is what our elders expect of you two. "
