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

Gu Lanting's face suddenly turned much uglier, as if she had done something unforgivable.

"Sister, how could you do this!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"You shouldn't use your brother-in-law's money to buy things for our family. It's not appropriate. How can I face my brother-in-law?"

Gu Qinghuan smiled secretly in her heart. This silly brother was quite principled and looked serious.

"Isn't he going to live in this house too? I provide the house and he pays for the renovation. Isn't this reasonable?

Marry a man and you will have clothes and food, so you want me to support him?" Gu Qinghuan deliberately twisted the logic.

Gu Lanting was led astray by her. After thinking about it, he always felt that what his sister said was reasonable, but also unreasonable.

"But...but..." He always felt that he had spent so much money on his brother-in-law, which made him seem inferior to him, and he was worried that his sister would be wronged in the future.

"Don't worry, this money was given to me by your brother-in-law. I didn't ask him for money, so you don't have to feel burdened.

Besides, do you think your sister, such a beautiful lady, is not worth a few thousand dollars?" Gu Qinghuan said deliberately.

Before Gu Lanting could speak, Xu Huaian spoke first: "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just happened to pass by on my way to the toilet.

Let me interject, Lanting, don't think too much. Your sister is the head of our family, and we listen to her in everything. Even if she sold me, I would have to count the money for her.

I would be willing to spend all my money to marry her, let alone a few thousand dollars.

You see, I'm such a lunatic and I have two children to support, but your sister is willing to marry me and take such good care of the children. This is simply the result of my good deeds in ten lifetimes.

What's wrong with her spending some money?

I am happy, she is happy, so you should not be unhappy."

He had heard the flattering words she had just said, and Gu Qinghuan was so embarrassed that she almost had to scrape out a three-bedroom apartment.

Unexpectedly, this person was even more exaggerated. He started to say sarcastic words as soon as he got the chance.

I don’t want to listen. I don’t want to listen. The monks are chanting.

Gu Lanting was choked by the sudden dog food.

Okay, you guys are welcome to do that, but can you please not say that to me? I'm still a kid!

Don't think he can't see it. My sister and brother-in-law are currently just living together and there is no question of them loving each other.

At most, the brother-in-law is pursuing the sister unilaterally, and the sister pretends not to know.

It doesn’t matter. He doesn’t care. As long as they are happy, they will not be blamed.

After dinner, Gu Qinghuan accompanied them for a while.

It must be said that Gu Qinghuan has a good taste. The small western-style building, when matched with the curtains she chose, has a higher grade and an inexplicable sense of luxury.

When it was almost time to finish, Gu Qinghuan went home to cook.

Dabao’s fish was definitely not enough for everyone, so she took out a rabbit that Xu Huaian had slaughtered and processed from the space.

Use this rabbit to make a delicious and spicy double pepper rabbit cubes.

Buy some sauerkraut and make sauerkraut fish with grass carp.

There are frozen spare ribs in the villa's refrigerator. I thawed them and made spare ribs, beans and vermicelli stew, which is a typical Northeastern dish.

I haven’t cooked any Northeastern cuisine since I came to Beijing, so I’ll let Lanting and Ruxue taste authentic Northeastern cuisine.

These three solid main dishes are enough to eat, and you can also stir-fry some vegetables and make a soup, and you're all set.

Carrying large and small bags home, Ming Ruxue also brought the two little ones out to help.

Gu Qinghuan cleaned the fish, Ming Ruxue helped cut the side dishes, Dabao and Beibei washed and rinsed the food, and it would soon be ready to be put into the pot.

The first dish is the pickled fish that Dabao has been craving for.

It’s the same old routine: separate the fish fillets and bones, and marinate the fish fillets with pepper, salt and starch.

Heat oil in a pan, sauté ginger and garlic, then add the chopped sauerkraut and start stir-frying. If you like it spicy, you can add some red pepper to garnish, and finally add boiling water.

Put the side dishes and fish bones in to cook first. Gu Qinghuan prepared tender tofu, bean sprouts, and green bamboo shoots as the base.

After the side dishes and fish bones are cooked, season the pot and then take them out first. Finally, put the fish fillets into the pot and cut them into pieces, blanch them and remove from the pot.

The top of the basin is filled with fish fillets, the sour smell makes your mouth water, and the soup base is golden.

Ming Ruxue sucked her saliva while helping out.

It ruined Gu Qing’s happiness.

"Would you like to try it?"

"No!" Ming Ruxue shook her head firmly. She still remembered the last time Gu Lanting said she was like a pig.

"Haha, Lanting was just kidding you. Try it, it's okay." Gu Qinghuan laughed, and someone's saliva was almost flowing into the basin.

Dabao stepped forward with understanding: "Auntie Ruxue, can you help Beibei and me get some? I want to taste it!"

Dabao’s inner thoughts: Oh, I’m so tired, this family will break up without me!

Ming Ruxue's eyes were visibly bright. It would be okay for her to go with Dabao to try the food, right?

"Okay, I'll help you right away."

As she spoke, Ming Ruxue found a small bowl and picked up a few pieces of boneless fish fillets, some tofu and some vegetables.

One large and two small ones took it out to eat.

Gu Qinghuan continued to prepare other dishes.

While doing this, I heard screams coming from outside.

"Well, how can it be so delicious, my dear? I envy you so much because you can eat the delicious food made by Sister Huanhuan every day."

"It's delicious, right? Everything my mother cooks is delicious, but my favorite is still this pickled fish." Dabao recommended it arrogantly.

Beibei was chewing something and had no time to speak.

"Hmm, the tofu is so delicious...and the soup is delicious too!"

"Aunt Ruxue, you've finished eating..." Dabao and Beibei looked at her with resentment.

"Oops, I was careless. Sorry, sorry..."

Dabao shook his head and thought to himself: Since you are so pitiful that you even licked the bowl, I will let you go.

He completely forgot that he had done the same thing one night and licked the lunch box of a bowl of porridge clean.

It’s easy to stew pork ribs, beans and vermicelli. Just pour it in with a click.

Blanch the ribs and set aside. Fry the rock sugar until it melts and turns into caramel color. Add the ribs and stir-fry until slightly yellow.

Add onion, ginger, garlic, chili, star anise, cinnamon, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cooking wine, then add hot water to cover the ribs, and finally add soybean paste and start cooking.

After cooking for a while, you can add beans, potatoes and vermicelli and cook for about 20 minutes until the soup is thick, then you can serve.

It’s a big basin full of food, it looks very delicious.

Ming Ruxue was stunned: "Sister, such a big bowl? Can you finish it?"

I happened to meet Xu Huaian and Gu Lanting coming back from outside.

Gu Lanting seemed to like to challenge her naturally.

"Eat less later, or you might not be able to finish it!"

Ming Ruxue took a long time to react before she realized that this meant she had eaten too much.

"I don't want to eat less. I have to eat more. I didn't eat what you made. This was made by my sister. What right do you have to give me orders? Get out of here!"

Gu Qinghuan let the two bickering rivals make a fuss and started to prepare the last dish.

Double pepper rabbit is a typical Jianghu dish. Gu Qinghuan often made it when shooting videos in her previous life because it looks good, goes well with rice, and can be prepared quickly. Its main features are color, aroma and taste.

It is a perfect match when served on a large Northeastern red enamel plate.

Put the marinated rabbit cubes into the pan to fry for a while, add the black beans and pickled peppers and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the red and green pepper segments, plenty of shredded ginger, and finally add various seasonings, stir-fry evenly, and serve while hot.

A spicy and delicious double pepper rabbit is ready.

Xu Huaian took the initiative to wash his hands and serve the food.

Soon Gu Lanting and Ming Ruxue made peace with each other tactically because the food today was so delicious that they had no time to bicker.

"Well, every dish is delicious, with different flavors and characteristics from different regions. How did you do that, sister? It's amazing!"

Ming Ruxue's flattery is always touching, making Gu Qinghuan very happy as a chef.

Gu Lanting and Xu Huaian always have only one thing to say: It’s delicious.

But when it comes to cooking, I'm not special at it, I'm just skilled at it.

"You will learn it if you learn more, watch more and do more. It's simple and not difficult." Gu Qinghuan took a bite of the diced rabbit with double peppers. Hmm, it was spicy and flavorful.

"Sister, I must learn all your skills! Otherwise, what should I do when you are gone?" Ming Ruxue's cheeks were puffed up like a hamster, and it was amazing that she could still speak clearly.

Gu Lanting looked at her with disdain, and reluctantly took out the handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her: "You should wipe your face first! How can someone eat so sloppily that the food gets all over their face!"

Beibei, with rice grains all over his face, was innocently caught in the crossfire. He looked at his uncle in confusion: Can we still play happily?

Gu Qinghuan did not specifically praise Dabao for the fish he bought for the family at the table today.

On the one hand, this will make Beibei uncomfortable.

The more important reason is that she does not want to promote such behavior, fearing that they will simply abandon their own needs to cater to others.

Although children are not prevented from contributing to the family, they are not encouraged either.

Why? Because she was worried that if she encouraged such behavior, her two children would sacrifice their own happiness to please others, and that was not what she wanted to see.

If you develop a people-pleasing personality during childhood, it will be difficult to get rid of this label throughout your life, and you will always be bullied as a good person.

Of course, what happened today doesn’t count as sacrificing oneself to please others.

Today, Dabao's choice is based on his own happiness. His own subjective choice is in line with his own values, rather than sacrificing himself for the sake of gaining praise from his parents.

Raising a child is like crossing a river by feeling the stones. She doesn’t know what is the right thing to do, so she just follows her heart.
