"Qingyu, are you back?" Lan
Gu Shihong could only give up questioning and walked to the door to greet his daughter.
Lin Yue also turned around and said hello.
Gu Qingyu hung up his bag and put on his slippers. He couldn't help but be surprised when he found that Feng Xiaoqin was not there. The person working in the kitchen was her brother Gu Lei.
"Where is Xiaoqin? Why is Gu Lei cooking in the kitchen?"
Gu Shihong didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her that your brother and your sister-in-law had a conflict and wanted to divorce. They ran away from home in anger.
The old lady didn't care about that much, she said straightforwardly: "We're having trouble, and she took her sister out to vent her anger."
"Ah? Why?" Lan
"It seems...it seems that Gu Lei skipped school and went to the Internet cafe to play games instead of going to the cram school."
When Gu Qingyu heard this, she understood what the living conditions of her younger brother and sister-in-law were, and she, as the eldest aunt, knew quite well.
She winked at Gu Shihong and walked towards the kitchen.
"I heard... you and Xiaoqin had a quarrel?"
Lin Yue did not answer her question, but handed over the minced ginger and ordered: "Pour some vinegar and sugar."
Gu Qingyu looked surprised.
"Don't tell me, you can't even do this." Lin Yue thrust the small bowl into her hand and went to steam the hairy crabs. Lan
At this point, she also realized that something was wrong with Gu Lei, because this brother would never talk to her in this tone, and looking at the ingredients on the table, the hairy crabs were placed on the right hand, ready to be steamed in the pot, and the hot pot was soaked in the pot on the left. Carp in oil, and not far away there is a white clay pot simmering on a low fire, emitting a very strong smell of chicken soup.
"Gu Lei, today is your birthday. Is there anything we can't talk about tomorrow? And I think it's really wrong for you to skip school and play games."
Gu Qingyu could only pour vinegar into the bowl and speak in a tone of seven parts persuasion and three parts education.
"She signed up for the class for me, and I didn't sign up for it myself. Isn't it interesting to have her head pressed when she doesn't want to drink water? She wants to make a lot of money, so she can just go by herself. If she wants her husband to succeed, she has to see if her husband has that destiny."
"Then you can't keep doing this, Gu Lei, your boss is looking for me again. Do you know the reason?"
Why is the work not done well?
Gu Lei's job was found with the help of Gu Qingyu. Of course, the boss was embarrassed to reprimand him directly, so he could only call her to complain. Lan
Lin Yue said: "I go to work during the day and go to cram school after work. My energy is scattered. It's strange that I can do a good job."
"Gu Lei, you can't do this."
"why not?"
Lin Yue knew what she wanted to say and put down what he was doing: "Sister, let me ask you, do you care about little tiger's studies?"
Gu Qingyu nodded: "It doesn't matter."
As an aunt, Xiaohu paid for piano lessons, English cram schools, and math cram schools. She also paid for schoolbags and stationery.
"Then when dad is gone, will you want this house and dad's pension?" Lan
Gu Qingyu shook his head. Although she was qualified to inherit, she didn't need the money at all. Also, why did she rarely work when she returned home and leave all the care of the elderly to Feng Xiaoqin? With her income, is it difficult to hire a live-in nanny? It's not a burden at all.
Sons and daughters-in-law should be filial to their parents-in-law. After the old man passes away, the property will be left to the son. The daughter will not have a share. Therefore, the daughter must not be held to the same standard as the son and daughter-in-law. This is not legal, but it is a folk custom in many places. ,
Also, people like Feng Xiaoqin, if you give in today, they will sit on top of you and shit tomorrow. My daughter doesn’t do housework, nor does she take care of the elderly. It’s left to her daughter-in-law, just to establish the image that my sister is not a fool who is easy to bully. Otherwise, as a daughter, she would have to worry about taking care of the elderly. After losing her money and house, God knows if Feng Xiaoqin will call her a stupid idiot in her heart, and will take advantage of her even more blatantly in the future.
It's not that she looks down on people from a small place, it's because this younger sibling is so calculating. She knows that Feng Xiaoqin's so-called younger brother's real relationship is that of mother and son. Eight years ago, when she was about to tell Gu Lei about this, she asked him not to. Feng Xiaoqin was pregnant when he married that woman. Gu Lei was determined to marry this woman. What could he do? She could only swallow the truth back into her stomach, so she had been on guard against her younger siblings for so many years.
"Do you know what the average house price is in Wanziyuan Community?" Lin Yue asked again.
"More than 70,000, around 80,000."
"Our three-bedroom apartment is more than 130 square meters, with a market value of 10 million. In the future, if my father is gone, the pension and pension will be several hundred thousand. Sister, you work in an investment bank, and I will help you take care of it. One year There is always a 10% income, plus my monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, my monthly income should be 14,500 yuan. With these assets, why should I work hard like others and work day and night?" Lan
These words stopped Gu Qingyu. Thinking about it carefully, he was absolutely right. Xilihutu had a fortune of more than 10 million, and he would help him pay for most of the little tiger's education expenses. Why should he work hard to make things difficult? Own?
With a fortune of more than 10 million, many college students will not be able to save this money in their lifetime!
Lin Yue chuckled: "So as long as I don't get cheated, don't eat whatever I can, and live a down-to-earth life, this money will be enough for me to spend a lifetime."
"..."
Gu Qingyu felt super awkward because she found that she was defeated by her brother who had always been ignorant in the matter of being reasonable. They said that fools are blessed, so this is it.
"Stand back, be careful not to burn you."
Lin Yue poured the six-mature fried fish into a plate, added cooking wine, salt, oil and other ingredients. He also spread ginger slices, green onions, garlic cloves and other accessories on top, put it into the cage where the hairy crabs were placed, and steamed it. . Lan
After finishing this, he went to work on the next dish.
Gu Qingyu stood behind for a while, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to persuade him. He could only shake his head and walk back to the living room, staring at Gu Shihong and the old lady.
She doesn't like Feng Xiaoqin, so if her brother insists on divorce, she won't actively persuade her to reconcile.
"Don't you think your brother... talks in the same way?"
After a while, Gu Shihong asked a very crucial question.
"Yes, Dad, what's wrong with him?" Gu Qingyu also noticed the problem. Her impression of her brother was that he was not enterprising, independent, and had no vision. But from the few words he just said, It can be seen that the ideas and logic are not generally clear.
Gu Shihong said: "I don't know what happened to him. He was like this as soon as he came back from outside."
At this time, the old lady interrupted the conversation between the two people by saying, "It smells so good."
Gu Qingyu took a sniff and found that there was a smell of fried peanuts in the air.
Lin Yuechong smiled at the three of them: "Dinner will be ready in half an hour, and if we want to talk about drinking liquor, it has to be fried peanuts."
"..."
A sudden change in the way of thinking is a problem, and a sudden improvement in cooking skills is also a problem. The father and daughter look at me and I look at you. They don’t know what to say. If they are not highly educated, they should think that He is possessed by an evil spirit, or is possessed by something unclean. He might need to ask a great god to save him.
Of course, Lin Yue didn't care what they thought, because the main task given by the system this time was to make a different Gu Lei. He was not Gu Lei to begin with, so this task was basically a free gift, but the side tasks were more interesting. I gave him four words - "convince people with reason."
Well, thinking about it now, he felt that he had done this before, almost for nothing. Lan
…
Half an hour later, the food was served.
Steamed hairy crabs, steamed carp, stewed local chicken with radish, braised bamboo shoots in oil, sweet and sour pork ribs, jellyfish with scallion oil, fried peanuts, and a stir-fried river shrimp, eight home-cooked dishes, except the stewed local chicken with radish, which was made by Gu Shihong. The remaining seven dishes are all his own creations.
In the past, cooking was Feng Xiaoqin's job, but this time it was Gu Lei.
Gu Qingyu looked at the table full of dishes and didn't dare to move quickly. This was not because the dishes in front of him were dark. On the contrary, both the appearance and the smell of the dishes were very tempting. .
There are golden river shrimps with a layer of crispy skin, pork ribs with oily caramel color, hairy crabs arranged in a lotus formation with ginger sauce bowls, and jellyfish with green onion oil that are refreshing and appetizing at first glance...
Gu Shihong said that Gu Lei used the money from the cram school to sign up for a cooking class, but could the dishes on the table in front of him be made by a beginner who had only learned for a few months? Lan
The old lady had been hungry for a long time, and was attracted by the aroma of cooking. Now she couldn't care so much. She picked up a piece of bamboo shoots with a kuaizi and put it into her mouth. She chewed it twice and nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious, it's delicious, Shi." Hong, Qingyu, try it, it’s so delicious, authentic Shanghai flavor.”
】
She always said that the food cooked by Feng Xiaoqin did not taste like Shanghai, so she stood by the kitchen and taught her grandson and daughter-in-law how to cook Shanghai cuisine. The current meal was cooked according to her instructions, and the next meal was cooked in southern Anhui cuisine. In the past few years, That's really enough food.
Unexpectedly, my grandson, who has not touched a spoon or a knife for so many years, would actually cook local dishes for the first time.
Gu Qingyu picked up a piece of fish with the kuaizi, dipped it in the soup next to it, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully. Her eyes suddenly lit up. She had eaten a lot in five-star hotels, and she felt that the chef there was just that. This level, of course, does not refer to the taste. After all, there are many condiments in the hotel kitchen, and the ingredients are heavy, and the taste is relatively strong. However, this fish is stronger in terms of taste. It is soft and smooth, with a little bit of flavor in the mouth. The instant melting feeling, mastered by this heat, is simply amazing.
However, after taking one bite, she didn't dare to eat it because it was too unbelievable: "Gu Lei, don't lie to me. How many months will it take you to master this cooking skill?"
"I'm a cooking genius, right?"
Lin Yuexin said that I haven't taken out the "King Kong" yet, otherwise you would know what the expenses of common people are and the enjoyment of rich people. Lan
Both Gu Shihong and Gu Qingyu knew that he was talking nonsense, but how could they explain the scene in front of them? This sense of separation between cognition and reality made the two of them very uncomfortable. Only the old lady kept her head down and ate wildly. At such an old age, she didn't care whether it was reasonable for her grandson to have superb cooking skills. Since the food is delicious, eat more.
…
Feng Xiaoqin took Little Tiger to eat a bowl of tomato rice noodles at the rice noodle shop across the street from the community. After calculating the time, it was time for Gu Qingyu to arrive home, so he paid and left, walking back with his sister.
"Sister, what will you say when you get up there?"
"What are you talking about? Don't say anything. If I wait for him to make trouble, I won't believe it. Gu Lei can say divorce in front of his children. If he really has the courage to say it, then I will let the neighbors comment. Take a look at this matter. Whoever is in charge is responsible, as long as he insists on divorcing me, I will ruin the reputation of the Gu family."
"Sister, aren't you... feeling uncomfortable?"
"What's wrong? From now on, I'll just take care of the little tiger. I'll have less work and it'll be easier. Like when I was an insurance company, I've come into contact with people no matter how bad-looking they are or how unpleasant their words are. Even those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. Yes, if you want to divorce me for nothing, there is no way." Lan
"Sister, I listen to you."
The little tiger walking in front heard the two chattering behind him, and turned around and asked, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
"It's nothing. Children should not inquire about adults' affairs."
"oh."
The little tiger agreed in a dull voice, lifted up the shoulder strap of his schoolbag, and continued to climb the stairs.
The three of them came upstairs. Feng Xiaoqin took out the key and opened the door. He walked into the living room and looked over there. He was a little square.
She thought that without her and Little Tiger, the Gu family would not have a happy meal. However, what she didn't expect was that there were eight plates on the table, six of which were already empty. Lan
Yes, empty.
The old lady had a bad stomach, Gu Shihong didn't eat much, and Gu Qingyu usually ate too much good food. Every time he went home for a dinner, he would eat two bites of each dish. Only Gu Lei could eat it, but no matter how much he could eat, he could finish eight dishes. Two dishes are good, and they won’t be overwhelming in one dish.
She left her pick and left, deliberately taking the little tiger to eat rice noodles to disgust Gu's family. When she saw the scene on the table, she initially thought that they ordered takeout, but after a closer look, it didn't look like the food on the table. It all comes from the ingredients she bought in advance.
So who cooked this meal?
Gu Shihong? His hands and feet are not so nimble; the old lady is even less likely; Gu Qingyu? My aunt always only opens her mouth when she comes home to eat; Gu Lei? Don't be ridiculous, okay? How can a person who is indifferent to the four limbs and the five grains have such a craft?
Feng Qianqian was also surprised. With Gu Shihong's likes and dislikes and the old lady's physique, it was unlikely that she would go to a restaurant without preparation. She thought that Gu Qingyu's birthday would be very embarrassing, but she did not expect that the four of the Gu family would eat comfortably. Gu Shihong obviously drank two more drinks, his face was red, and he burped from time to time.
"The little tiger is back, let's see what grandpa left for you?" Lan
Gu Shihong teased the children with two hairy crabs that looked very fat at first sight.
“Hairy crab?!”
The little tiger's eyes shone as he walked over and grabbed two hairy crabs. He smiled and sat down in front of the dining table, ready to eat.
As a result, only one of the eight dishes was left unfinished. Feng Xiaoqin remembered that it was the radish stewed chicken that Gu Shihong had simmered on the gas stove early in the morning.
"Dad, you guys have eaten. I thought Sister would be as busy with work as before and would come back very late."
Feng Xiaoqin kept silent about the divorce.
The old lady rubbed her slightly swollen belly and said angrily: "We will starve to death when you come home to cook. Fortunately, my eldest grandson is a very good cook."
Gu Lei?
Gu Lei's dinner?
How can it be!
Feng Xiaoqin thinks the old lady lied to her. In this matter, she would rather believe that the sow can climb a tree than that Gu Lei, a useless wimp who can't do anything, can be responsible for the cooking of the Gu family.
Gu Qingyu said: "Xiao Qin, I heard that you and Gu Lei were having a bad time over taking the accounting certificate exam. This... I think it is based on Gu Lei's interest. You see, he has been studying with the hotel chef for several months. With such a level, when the little tiger gets older, you can open a home-cooked restaurant nearby, which will be a good business, isn't it?"
Although she didn't want to see Feng Xiaoqin, for the sake of the little tiger, she still hoped that the two of them could continue to live together.
Gu Lei studied with a hotel chef? What the hell? Lan
Feng Xiaoqin was still confused. She and Gu Lei slept together every day. How could she not know that he was learning cooking? Well, even if Gu Lei kept hiding it from her, why didn't his clothes smell like oil smoke at all when he came home every day?
"Come here." Lin Yue pushed away the chair and turned towards the master bedroom.
Feng Xiaoqin looked at the little tiger holding the hairy crab's front paws and gnawing at it, gave her sister a look that acted according to the situation, and followed him into the room.
Katcha.
When she walked into the room, Lin Yue closed the door, walked to the balcony, and said calmly: "Do you still want me to borrow money from Sister to buy a house?"
Feng Xiaoqin was stunned. He thought that Gu Lei would talk to her about the divorce behind closed doors, so he could make a big fuss as planned and let everyone know that the Gu family bullied their sisters. Unexpectedly, not only did he not do that , and even brought the topic to borrowing money to buy a house.
