Chapter 169: Warmth
After taking a bite of the fried lotus cake, Liang Xueqin could no longer control her eyes. She spent the Mid-Autumn Festival alone.
Later, a Qiaoer was added, and he was no longer alone.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is different. She finally has someone to rely on in this world, a real home.
A man is full of passion and goes out to travel and can be his home, but women are different. She wants a home that belongs to her and a home that can shelter her from the wind and rain.
This family can be a small family, a house, a house, or a whole country, a powerful army that can protect the people's happy lives.
There is already a small family, but the mountains and rivers are still broken.
"Sister Xueqin, the lotus cakes made by Brother San are so delicious..." Qiao'er took a bite, then couldn't help but reach out and pick one up and put it in her mouth.
Of course it was delicious. Liang Xueqin remembered that she told Chen Miao that the lotus root cakes made by her mother once, but she didn't expect that he could actually taste the same as his mother.
Could it be that this is the husband my mother chose for her in the dark?
Only in this way can we explain why the lotus root cakes made by Chen Miao taste exactly the same as that of his mother.
"Brother Third, what should I do if there is so much meat filling left?" After making lotus root cakes, I found that there is still a lot of meat filling left, so Han Laosi asked.
"Make a lion's head, I'll do it later." Chen Miao turned his head and looked at it, "You go and peel the yam and dice it."
"Okay."
"Xiaoqi, have the fish ready?"
"alright."
"So fast?" Han Laosi was shocked. It would take at least an hour to make such a big black fish, and it took Xiaoqi less than twenty minutes.
When he turned around, Han Laosi was really scared. On the plate, the fish head was facing upwards, and a long spine had been removed. The fish fillets were neatly placed on the plate, with uniform thickness, like fish scales, pleasing to the eye.
"Xiao Qi, what did you do?"
Xiaoqi glanced at Han Laosi and said clearly in his eyes: Is there a fourth person in the kitchen?
"I can't compare to Xiaoqi's knife skills." Chen Miao said. Xiaoqi's knife skills are safe through practice, and there is no shortcut to take.
"Awesome!" Han Laosi was really convinced. He thought that his knife skills were pretty good. Compared with Xiao Qiyi, he was really far inferior to chickens and ducks compared to phoenixes.
The fragrance in the kitchen became stronger and stronger, and Han Laosi was no longer helpful. He could only watch the hottest. Xiaoqi and Chen Miao cooperated so easily.
One side dish, one stir-fry, and one look at you will know what the other person wants. This is a golden combination.
Soon, dishes with good colors, fragrance and flavor were served on the dining table.
"Wow, braised pork!"
"Squirrel Mandarin Fish!"
"Yangzhou lion's head..."
"Sauce gams!"
"Sauce-fried eel shreds!"
"Spot-flavored pork ribs!"
...
"Brother Third, these are all things that Sister Xueqin likes to eat." Qiao'er lay in surprise on the table and drooled. She smelled the fragrance. Judging from the color, she knew it was delicious.
"It's time for dinner, everyone wash their hands and have a soup, which will come up later." Chen Miao shouted.
After a while, the last sweet and sour soup was on the table.
Including lotus root cakes, braised lion heads and stir-fried green vegetables, the total is exactly ten dishes, which means perfect.
"Come on, everyone raises their glasses. It's rare that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival reunion everyone has the opportunity to get together. Let's have a drink." Chen Miao brought a jar of Huadiao and poured a cup for everyone.
"Thank you, third brother."
After drinking a glass of wine, the first thing that was not stable was Han Laosi. This guy actually burst into tears on the spot. A flood caused his family to be destroyed and his family was destroyed. He fell alone. Speaking of which, he was also a pitiful person.
In addition to being bullied, he was just for the sake of eating a meal. It seemed a little far away to him, but this person still has a view of right and wrong, at least his nature is not bad, and he just went astray. But he didn't have the courage to leave No. 76, and he could hide when he encountered problems, otherwise he wouldn't have met Chen Miao.
Chen Miao could understand that all the five people sitting were alone, so there was no need to say that he and Liang Xueqin were gone long ago, and Xiaoqi became beggars. According to him, his father left home very early and he had no impression of him. As for his mother, he was unwilling to say more, and Chen Miao did not ask. Anyway, he had no relatives, Qiaoer, was sold to the opera troupe. Later, when he met Liang Xueqin, he was regained his freedom.
If there is a complete home, it is impossible to get together and sit together for dinner.
I miss my family more during the holidays, which is particularly a great opportunity for those who leave their hometowns and wander outside.
"Han Laosi, wipe your tears and eat." Chen Miao took out his handkerchief and handed it over.
"I'm sorry, Brother Third, I'm sorry." Han Laosi wiped his eyes with his sleeve and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Emotions are just temporary, and it will be fine if they pass.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, Xueqin, Qiaoer, you cook for me in the past, and try my skills today." Chen Miao greeted.
Soon everyone was attracted by the table of good dishes, and the chopsticks never stopped. The wine was one after another. Liang Xueqin, who rarely drank, also drank three cups with everyone.
"San brother, I wish you. If it weren't for you, I would still be with the people in the guard brigade. To be honest, I really don't want to be with them. They know how to blackmail them all day long, and they pretend to be robbers and do too many bad things, and they will be punished..." Han Laosi stood up, picked up his wine glass and toasted Chen Miao.
After drinking, Han Laosi said the truth, and now he was like this. He kept some words in his heart and dared not say them. Today, he finally said it without outsiders.
"Han Laosi, let's not care about other people's affairs. Just do your own things well. Remember to have your own bottom line in life and doing things." Chen Miao didn't have much to say.
But after this, his views on Han Laosi naturally became different.
"The third brother is right. There are so many people on No. 76. What I, Han Laosi, admire most is the third brother. Only the third brother, you treat me and Lu Wei as people. Following you is my Han Laosi's luck in my life." Han Laosi picked up the wine glass, "San brother, I will do it first."
"Han Laosi, don't drink alcohol so urgently, it will hurt your body."
"It's okay, third brother, I'm happy today." Han Laosi sat down staggeringly.
Drinking too much may not necessarily make you drunk, but being in a bad mood is the easiest way to get drunk. He still knows Han Laosi’s alcohol tolerance, not bad, but today it is obviously not as good as his, but he gets drunk. This is related to his emotional ups and downs just now.
Sad, sad, and suddenly excited, excited, without any buffering process in between, this is the easiest way to get drunk.
"No, I can't eat anymore, I can't eat anymore..." Qiao'er shouted that she couldn't eat anymore, but the chopsticks couldn't bear to stop.
"Brother Third, the dishes you cook are so delicious!"
"It's delicious. In the future, the third brother will cook it for you when he has time. I'm afraid that you will get tired of it first." Chen Miao smiled and was very satisfied.
Apart from having children, as long as men are willing to do it, there are so many things that women do. The needle and thread girl are red, and the big tailors in the Fenggang are all men.
The same goes for cooking.
"Xiao Qi, in a while, you drive Han Laosi back and then come to pick me up." After dinner, Chen Miao quietly ordered Xiao Qi.
"OK."
"Xueqin, let's go down for a walk." After packing the dining table, Chen Miao took off his bib and stretched out his hand to Liang Xueqin.
"Okay." Liang Xueqin nodded. She hadn't tried to be with Chen Miao under the moonlight. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
A bright moon has already hung in the air, as big as a millstone. Because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are still many people on the street at this moment, and the whole family is coming out to enjoy the moon.
There is a street park diagonally opposite Maggie's apartment, with green shades. It is usually a place for nearby residents to take a walk and have morning exercises. At this moment, many people are gathering.
"Xueqin, let's go over." Chen Miao reached out and held Liang Xueqin's tender horn.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound in the sky ahead. Someone was setting off fireworks. The colorful fireworks rushed into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.
Under the cold moonlight, the contrast is interesting.
"Xueqin, let's set off fireworks too?" Chen Miao suddenly had the impulse of being young and hadn't set off fireworks for a long time.
"Ah, did you buy fireworks?"
"No, but it doesn't matter, I have a way." Chen Miao smiled and pulled Liang Xueqin and trotted over.
There is an open space in the central park of the street. The residents and people nearby choose to set off fireworks in an open place. When Chen Miao and Liang Xueqin arrived, many people had gathered here.
There are vendors selling fireworks nearby.
"Ten monkeys that flew away the sky..." Chen Miao quickly paid and bought all the fireworks left in the vendor's hands in one breath.
"Come on, Xueqin, these fireworks are all ours tonight, we will set them all off!" Chen Miao placed a whole basket of fireworks in front of Liang Xueqin.
"So many..."
"Let's give it enough at once!" Chen Miao smiled.
Originally, Liang Xueqin was still a little unwilling to let go, after all, it was already past the girlhood, and she needed to be steady on the stage, gradually, she adapted to the current calm style.
However, after she put down her burden and released it, she seemed to have returned to the happy and worry-free time she was as if she was a child.
"San brother, come quickly, this one looks good..."
"San brother, come and help me light the fire..."
"Third brother,..."
Chen Miao had never seen Liang Xueqin be so happy, and her laughter was all over his ears. For a moment, he couldn't help but become a little confused. This laugh should be the most precious thing he has protected in his heart for the rest of his life.
"Brother Third, will you set off fireworks with me tomorrow?"
"Yes, every Mid-Autumn Festival, I will set off fireworks with you until we leave this world, then go to another world, and set off fireworks together." Chen Miao said.
"San brother, you are so nice to me." Liang Xueqin pressed Zhen's head tightly against Chen Miao's chest, and both of them could hear each other's heartbeat.
Dong... Dong...
Liang Xueqin fell asleep, maybe she was tired, maybe Chen Miao's arms were too warm, and her breathing was very light and even. Chen Miao kept holding her. Later, it became cold at night, so she hugged her and sent her home.
...
"Brother Third, where are we going?" When he got into the car, Chen Miao still had Liang Xueqin's reluctant look in front of him. Although he could stay, he decided to leave.
The best things should be left to taste at the best moments.
I believe Liang Xueqin thought so too.
“Kanna Road.”
Xiaoqi nodded. Chen Miao did not plan to return to Huacun.
