Since the first snowfall, it took two more days of cold wind to get better.

Su Haoyi was invited to Haifu for the fire feast. She prepared gifts for Hai Qingqiu's family of three. Because there were a lot of things, she did not go there, but took the carriage from Chuyaoguan.

When he arrived at the Hai Mansion gate, Su Haoyi got out of the car and turned around and explained to the coachman: "Uncle Ma, you go back now. I'll just go back as I go back, don't have to come and pick me up."

The coachman then drove the car back.

Su Haoyi entered the Hai Mansion and found that there was no one, only a few servants walking around the yard, one of whom brought Su Haoyi into the second gate.

Zhang came out with the child in his arms, and Su Haoyi rushed forward to the ceremony.

Zhang's eyes smiled like a pair of crescent moons. He said kindly to Su: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you seem to have grown taller again."

"Mrs. Sister-in-law thinks I'm getting taller, but I think you look younger. I wonder how you usually take care of it? I also asked for a prescription and it will be easier to use in a few years." Su Haoyi said seriously.

Zhang laughed so hard that he said, "You have gotten up early and ate candied fruit? It's so sweet that it's not worth it."

In fact, Su Haoyi didn't lie. Zhang was originally petite and had a simple temperament, so he looked at it much younger than people of his age.

Su Haoyi didn't see Hai Qingqiu and couldn't help asking Zhang: "Are you busy today? You are not at home if you have something to do?"

"It's inside," Zhang replied with a smile: "Don't stand here and talk to the room."

Su Haoyi followed Zhang inside, and was still a little confused. Even after entering the second gate, there were fewer servants in this mansion than before, let alone guests. Logically speaking, many guests and friends were invited to the banquet around the fire, but today's Hai Mansion seemed too deserted.

What's even more strange is that Zhang did not take her to the main room, but walked around the main room and arrived at the yard behind, where there were three very small rooms.

Although Su Haoyi was confused, he couldn't ask directly. When he entered the door, he was shocked.

There are already two people in this room, and there are two big men, one is Hai Qingqiu and the other is Tong Sanye.

Hai Qingqiu was wearing an apron and rolling the dough, and Mr. Tong San sat on a low stool to make dumplings.

Zhang turned around and smiled, "Don't be surprised by Hachiro, today is a family dinner, so I didn't invite outsiders."

Mr. Tong San stood up and said, "The leader and his wife were afraid that Mr. Su would be restrained, so they only asked me to accompany me. The prepared meals were all home-cooked, and they were probably slowing down a little."

How could Su Haoyi not understand at this time?

Mr. Tong didn’t know, but Hai Qingqiu and his wife knew that they were daughters. They have always been a man to the outside world, so it was difficult for them to enter the inner house. But Hai Qingqiu and his wife always wanted to find an opportunity to treat themselves like their family.

Therefore, after hearing what Mr. Tong San said, he hurriedly said, "This is more solemn than anything else. What kind of delicacies can't be bought in my eldest brother's mansion? This is why I really don't treat me as an outsider. I am really flattered and feel a little ashamed."

Hai Qingqiu smiled and said, "You are a smart person, needless to say, I'm not boasting that I'll make the stuffing of Mr. Tong San, and I can't eat this dumpling."

"I said why did my index finger keep moving these days? It turned out that my mouth was waiting for me here! It just made me want to lose my head but I dare not believe that you two can make dumplings."

Several people laughed, and Su Haoyi wanted to wash his hands and help. Zhang pulled her sleeve and said, "You can't get enough of it. Let's sit there and talk."

As he said that, he pulled Su Haoyi aside and the two of them drank tea and ate melon seeds.

Su Haoyi took Jia Guan from Zhang's arms. The child was almost eight months old now, chubby, white and tender, and had a milky smell. He was not afraid of being angry at all. When he saw Su Haoyi, he reached out to grab her hair, and he was so silly that he didn't know what to say.

Su Haoyi was very curious in her heart and asked Zhang quietly: "When did you learn how to cook?"

Zhang was eating melon seeds and said calmly: "He has been a child. I grew up eating the food he cooked."

Hai Qingqiu was more than teenager than Zhang, and Zhang's father was his benefactor. Therefore, after Zhang became an orphan, Hai Qingqiu took care of her. When Zhang was seventeen years old, she married her as his wife.

Although Su Haoyi was surprised, seeing Hai Qingqiu's noodles rolling so skillfully, he knew that it could not be practiced overnight.

Zhang said again: "Actually, my master is very good at cooking. Not only does he cook deliciously, but he also makes many gadgets! Look at the toys of Jia Guan, he made them all by himself."

Su Haoyi's opinion on the exquisite toys on the table, such as rattles, small cars and horses, was really shocked.

Then he asked Zhang: "Sister-in-law, do you know how to cook?"

Zhang was not embarrassed at all and admitted generously: "I don't know, and he won't allow me to do it again." Then he covered his mouth and smiled, and whispered: "To be honest, he washed my clothes with such a big body."

Su Haoyi felt so sad when she heard this, and the melon seeds in her hand were no longer fragrant.

Hai Qingqiu is so kind to his wife that it is so enviable.

As a leader of a gang, not only does he not have three wives and four concubines, but also does so personally in trivial matters in life. It is fake that any woman doesn’t envy her after hearing this.

At this time, Hai Qingqiu called out, "You're going to have a meal soon, come and sit down!"

After hearing this, Su Haoyi quickly stood up and helped to carry the plate. Zhang called the maid and asked her to take the young master away first.

Su Haoyi brought the plate to serve. Four side dishes were already arranged on the table and a large bowl of pure vegetable soup.

The hot dumplings lay on the plate like fat pigs.

Hai Qingqiu said: "Eat while it's hot, it won't be good if it's cold."

Everyone sat around the table, Zhang smiled and introduced to Su Haoyi, "You try these side dishes, they are all made by the master."

Hai Qingqiu sat there without saying a word, but the look on her face was both forbearing and expecting.

Su Haoyi looked at the four dishes of side dishes, namely melon seeds and cucumber strips, sauce tofu, sour cowpeas, and drunk pickled melon.

I tasted the sour cowpeas closest to her first, and sincerely praised: "Brother's craftsmanship is really amazing!"

Hai Qingqiu said with a reserved look on his face: "In fact, it's better in two days, and it's still a little bit more meaningful now."

Su Haoyi tasted three other side dishes, and the taste was very delicious.

But what made her most happy was the bowl of pure vegetable soup on the table.

"The first time I've eaten water shield soup in winter," Su Haoyi did not hide his surprise and curiosity at all: "This is too rare."

"Mr. Su likes this thing?" Mr. Tong laughed and said, "It is indeed not easy to get other places, but our boat coach is doing water business. There is no place for north and south waterways, so this thing is not rare for us."

"If you like it, just ask someone to send you some every now and then," Hai Qingqiu said, "I called the fourth brother over a few days ago and said a few words to him. He will not bother you again in the future."
