A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

The two people's banter made Zhong Zijun less nervous and even felt like laughing.

She sat down on the stool.

"Old man, seeing is believing. How are you?"

Old Master Ji also sat down and said with a smile: "Thanks to your daughter, I have become stronger since I recovered from my illness. I can live another 20 years without any problem!"

As he said this, he comically tapped the muscles on his arms to show how strong he was, which made Zhong Zijun laugh.

"That's daring."

While the two were talking, Ji Linhai came in with a bowl of brown sugar water.

He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "We are the only two people in the family, and we don't have any cups. You can just drink from this bowl. I have washed it several times."

Zhong Zijun certainly had no objection.

"Thank you."

The bowl, which was just the right size in Ji Linhai's hand, looked abnormally large in her hand, even bigger than her face.

It's quite funny.

Ji Linhai may have noticed it too, and said awkwardly: "This is the smallest bowl in my house."

Zhong Zijun quickly picked up the bowl and took a sip.

"Very good, thank you for your help."

After taking a few sips of water, the visit began to get down to business.

Because of the sincerity of the father and son of the Ji family, Zhong Zijun calmed down a lot.

"I am disturbing you this time mainly to thank you for your help. I have nothing else to repay you.

Winter is coming soon, and I think your cotton-padded jacket is not warm enough, so how about I make you a jacket?"

She said that it was not very warm, but she was already giving face to Ji Linhai. He ran in the woods all day, and his clothes were torn everywhere by branches. Coupled with his rough hairstyle and beard, he looked like a tramp.

Ji Linhai usually didn't pay attention to his image. Firstly, he didn't know how to sew, and secondly, he wanted to appear low-key and inconspicuous by looking tattered.

When Zhong Zijun brought this up, he felt a little embarrassed, as he seemed too sloppy.

"That's great, I'm just worried about this. We two rough guys are not good at this kind of delicate work.

I'll buy the fabric and cotton. Can you make one for each of us? Is that okay?" Ji Linhai didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of scaring Zhong Zijun.

How could someone of his age still speak like a little girl? Even the slightest bit of loudness could scare her. Ji Linhai could only try his best to control the volume of his voice for fear of scaring this little white rabbit.

Zhong Zijun waved her hands: "No, no, how can I let you go? My family has already prepared everything, you don't have to worry about it.

I came here today just to measure your size so that I don’t make it inappropriately.”

Seeing that she insisted, Ji Linhai said nothing more. He thought to himself that he would send her more prey later. He couldn't let her suffer any loss.

Looking at his son who suddenly became effeminate and spoke carefully and tried to control his voice, Grandpa Ji suddenly had an idea.

Could it be that this boy has taken a fancy to the girl's mother?

Zhong Zijun looks really young and has a baby face. She has been nourishing her skin for some time, drinking spiritual spring water every day, and her previously tanned skin has recovered. After dressing up, she looks no different from a young girl.

No wonder he was targeted by the village scoundrel.

If these two people could be together, he would be happy even if he died the next moment. No matter if people said he was old-fashioned or conservative, he just didn't want to see his son die alone without anyone to accompany him in his later years.

This is how he survived his life, pretending to be strong in front of others but knowing it behind their backs.

Zhong Zijun and Ji Linhai had no idea what the old man was thinking.

Zhong Zijun took out the tape measure she brought with her and carefully measured the sizes of the two men, starting with the old man.

Mr. Ji also cooperated and let her measure him openly.

When it came to Ji Linhai, there was a problem. He was tall and strong, and when Zhong Zijun was measuring him, she almost pounced on him. It was so embarrassing.

Ji Linhai might have noticed it too, but he didn't stop her out of mischief because he found Zhong Zijun's panicky look quite interesting.

Zhong Zijun could only finish the measurement quickly.

When it was over, my forehead was covered in sweat and my face was red, but luckily the oil lamp was not very bright so it was hard to see.

Mr. Ji didn't even offer to help, he just cracked pine nuts and watched the show.

Haha, his pigs finally learned how to eat cabbages.

I thought Ji Linhai would never look for a woman in his life, but unexpectedly his wish came true. Great, great!

He also knew a little about Zhong Zijun's situation. She was demoted because her man betrayed them. She must have broken up with her previous man. If the two of them could be together, they would be the best candidates and neither of them would despise the other.

But all this was just his imagination, and Zhong Zijun and Ji Linhai obviously didn't have that intention.

After measuring the dimensions, Zhong Zijun quickly said goodbye. She didn't know what happened today. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would explode.

Of course Ji Linhai refused to let her go home alone, and insisted on sending her to Duanjiatun. He watched her enter the house before leaving.

When Gu Qinghuan returned home with the roast duck, no one was at home.

Xu Huaian left a note saying that he was taking the two children out to the temple fair and would be back in time for dinner.

I haven't taken them out for a walk in these days. They have been locked in the house all day. This is the age when they want to be active, so it's really hard for them.

There were still two hours before dinner, so Gu Qinghuan began to prepare.

Today I am going to use all my skills to make a table full of delicious food to reward everyone.

Most of the three refrigerators in the villa have been empty during this period. Gu Qinghuan plans to finish all the frozen food in them quickly and then buy fresh ones. After all, it is not good to eat frozen food for a long time.

There is also a box of frozen shrimps, which are steamed and eaten with dip.

A three-yellow chicken. The chicken is a bit big, so use half of it to make hand-torn chicken and the other half to make double-pepper diced chicken.

Tripe and yellow throat? Make a simple version of Maoxuewang.

There is also a big black fish. I haven’t had boiled fish for a long time, so we can arrange it.

Just stir-fry some vegetables and make some seaweed egg drop soup and you’re done.

Today is almost the home of Jianghu cuisine, it’s so satisfying just thinking about it.

Hand-shredded chicken is the simplest to make, and you don’t have to worry about it getting cold. It tastes better when it’s cold, so just make it first.

Cut the three-yellow chicken in half and put it into boiling water. Add onion, ginger and cooking wine. Cook for ten to twenty minutes until you can pierce it with chopsticks and then you can take it out.

Put it in cold boiled water to let it cool down completely, so that the meat will taste better. Take it out, drain it, and tear it into strips for later use.

Then it's time for Soul Juice to appear.

Pour hot oil on chili powder, minced garlic, white sesame seeds, and chopped green onions, add light soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, and sugar, and that’s basically it.

You can also add lemon and coriander to make the flavor more unique.

This seasoning is no joke, it tastes delicious even when mixed with shoe soles.

Pour it on the shredded chicken and your mouth-watering hand-shredded chicken is ready.

Cubed chicken with double peppers is a quick dish. Prepare the ingredients first, and then when the person comes back and wants to eat, just put it in the pan and stir-fry it.

The main thing is to marinate the chicken first, then fry it in a pan. It is best to fry it until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes refreshing and chewy.

After other dishes are prepared, start to boil the fish. Black fish has few bones, so slice the fish separately and marinate it with white pepper, salt, cooking wine and starch.

Add this last and you can eat it after blanching it, which can preserve the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent.

Heat oil in a pan, add onion, ginger, garlic, dried chili peppers and peppercorns, add bean paste and soul hot pot base, stir-fry over low heat until fragrant, then add water and bring to a boil.

Add seasoning, salt, chicken essence, light soy sauce, oyster sauce and sugar.

First put the fish bones, green bamboo shoots, black fungus, tofu skin, etc. into the pot and cook them, then put them into the basin as the base.

Finally, put the fish fillets into the pot and spread them out. After cooking for one minute, take them out and spread them on the top of the pot, then pour in the remaining soup in the pot.

The last step is to add chopped green onion, minced garlic, dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and white sesame seeds, and pour hot oil on them to bring out the aroma.

A pot of boiled fish with good color, aroma and taste is ready.

Gu Qinghuan scooped out a bowl of less spicy fish fillets and placed it aside. This was for Dabao and Beibei.

The final product was so spicy that they couldn't stand it.

The cooking method of Maoxuewang is similar to that of boiled fish, except that the different ingredients result in a different flavor.

Just as she was having her stomach ache, Gu Lanting came back.

"Sister, I'm back."

There was also a female voice following it: "Sister, I'm here too."

From the sound of her voice, it was Ming Ruxue. This girl was quite outgoing. After coming once, she even called me "sister".

But it is understandable. She has lived abroad for many years, has an open personality, and speaks more directly.

Gu Qinghuan also felt sorry for her. Whether her parents were at home or abroad, they were always busy with their own affairs.

Although it was for the sake of the motherland, she was ultimately neglected. Many things are difficult to achieve. Fortunately, she also understood her parents' decision and was proud of it.

The next second, Ming Ruxue came into the kitchen with a piece of good quality pork belly in her hand, which was quite funny.

A fairy-like girl holding a piece of pork belly in her hand, it seems incongruous no matter how you look at it.

"Sister, I'm here to eat again. What do you think of the pork belly I picked?

Wow! It smells so good, is there something good going on today? I am so lucky to have so many delicious dishes made! "This girl was firing like a machine gun.

Gu Qing took the meat from her hand with a smile and put it on the chopping board, then picked up the chopsticks and fed her a portion of boiled fish fillet.

“Wow! It’s so spicy!” Ming Ruxue screamed in spiciness, but her eyes lit up the next second.

"It's delicious, sister. From now on you are my real sister. What will I do without you?" She took the chopsticks from Gu Qinghuan's hand and picked up another piece, muttering to herself.

Gu Qinghuan also let her go, since she was still a child.

After washing his hands, Gu Lanting came in to help. Seeing Ming Ruxue's greedy look, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say anything nice.

"Ming Ruxue, you always come to my house for free meals and eat so much that you've bankrupted my family."

Ming Ruxue's mouth was bulging, and she said unhappily while eating, "Xiaotingzi, shut up, your sister hasn't said anything yet, do you have the right to speak in this house?

Besides, I brought such a big piece of meat, but it still can't stop you from talking?"

"Let me eat your meat! I'd better make you as fat as a pig so that no one will want you in the future." Gu Lanting said venomously, his face full of disgust, but his hand involuntarily moved the torn chicken towards her.

Ming Ruxue took a piece of chicken and stuffed it into her mouth. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "I want to be a scientist in the future and fight for the great rejuvenation of the motherland. If I can't get married, then I can't get married. I don't want to get married!"

There is no greater power than this. This girl has been positively influenced by her parents since she was young and has a shining heart.

Gu Lanting's expression softened, and he said unhappily, "That great scientist, you should eat more, okay!"

Ming Ruxue took a quick taste and put down her chopsticks.

"Why don't you want to eat? Eat now, it's okay, Lanting was just joking with you." Gu Qinghuan said with a smile.

"Sister, I'll save some food for later. It will be more lively if we all eat together! Just tell me if there's anything I can do." Ming Ruxue has lived alone for a long time and is a child with a strong sense of propriety.

It’s okay to be naughty occasionally, but you can’t be a person without rules.

"Humph, someone's stomach is like a bottomless pit, and he still needs to save some food?"

"Gu Lanting, are you looking for a fight?" Ming Ruxue slashed at his shoulder with a knife.

Gu Qinghuan looked at this pair of bickering lovers and couldn't help but laugh. Are all kids like this? The more they like someone, the more they want to argue with her and provoke her.

See through but don't speak out, who can tell what will happen in the future?
