brother-in-law's melancholy

In a blink of an eye, the winter solstice, the last ten days of December, will soon pass by.

The day before the winter solstice, Qin Yi took Tang Yu to go shopping. Unlike the last Lidong, they decided to make dumplings by themselves this time, so they went to the supermarket again.

Because Tang Yu doesn't like to eat fungus and leeks, there are a lot less dumpling fillings to choose from. Qin Yi picked two Chinese cabbage, chose a catty of lean meat without a little fat, added flour ingredients, and soon Buy the ingredients.

Qin Yi still had to go back to his uncle's house for dinner on the night of the winter solstice. This was a rule set by his grandfather, and he was asked to go back every year and festival, just to let him feel the warmth of the family and avoid extreme personality.

Fearing that he would not make it in time tomorrow, Qin Yi sent out dough and chopped dumpling stuffing that night, while Tang Yu helped in the kitchen.

When he was rolling out the dough, he watched Qin Yi use a stick to skillfully roll lumps of dough into round thin skins, and he was ready to move. He asked Qin Yi to give him a try, but he went into battle with confidence, but the rolled ones were unbearable The eyes were either too thick or too thin, and some of them had a hole in them when he rolled them out.

Tang Yu was sweating from nervousness, so he couldn't help but raised his hand and wiped his face with his wrist, but he wiped the flour on his face with white streaks.

Qin Yi looked at him dumbfounded, and finally had no choice but to teach Tang Yu by hand.

He stood behind Tang Yu. The height of the two of them was just right for teaching. He held Tang Yu's hands in both hands, picked up the rolling pin, and quickly rolled over the dough on the chopping board. A thin dumpling skin just appeared.

Qin Yi took Tang Yu to roll a few more times, and the posture of the two of them leaning against their chests didn't seem to be at all inconsistent. After Tang Yu learned it, Qin Yi walked away to do other things, only to realize that it seemed that the place where they were sticking just now It's getting a little cold.

Tang Yu even subconsciously turned his head and asked Qin Yi: "Brother Qin, you won't teach me?"

Qin Yi looked at his painted face and said with a smile: "You roll it yourself first, and I'll see if the stuffing is marinated."

Tang Yu let out a little disappointed.

Qin Yi is also very good at making dumplings, and his hands are so fast that Tang Jue can't see it. Tang Jue stared at Qin Yi's movements and wanted to write down his steps and try to make one himself, but Qin Yi's speed was too fast. Soon, Tang Yu had to grab his arm and look into his hand.

It was close to ten o'clock after making the dumplings, Tang Yu looked at the neatly arranged dumplings on the chopping board, and his stomach growled in disbelief.

Qin Yi naturally heard it too, he smiled, turned on the natural gas stove to boil hot water for dumplings, and made supper for Tang Yu.

There is not enough time to boil the soup, so I can only put some oil and salt to cook the dumplings in clear water. The white and fat dumplings rolled in the water, and the few dumplings that Tang Yu imitated were boiled and cracked, and the fillings inside leaked out, just for the soup. Adds color and flavor.

The dumplings made by myself are different from the ones bought outside. The skin and filling are just right after one bite, and the filling is full of lean meat, so it won't feel greasy.

Qin Yi didn't plan to eat it at first, but when he saw Tang Yu eating so deliciously, he also twitched his index finger.

He was too lazy to go into the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks, so he walked directly to Tang Yu, bent down and held Tang Yu's hand holding the chopsticks, picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth.

Tang Yu looked up at him and saw that he had eaten, so he quickly asked: "Brother Qin, is it delicious?"

Qin Yi took another sip of the soup with Tang Yu's used spoon in the bowl. The soup was filled with dumpling stuffing, smelling of lean pork and cabbage, and it was still a bit fresh to drink.

He put the spoon back and said, "It's not bad, you can eat, I'm going to brush my teeth and take a shower."

Only then did Tang Yu notice that there was some flour on Qin Yi's face, hands, and hair. He looked very homely. He watched Qin Yi enter the bathroom, and silently felt sorry for his sister.

This time when he went back to the mansion for the holiday, Qin Yi did not ask Tang Ji if he wanted to go. Although Tang Ji would definitely not go, it was a bit strange that he didn't take the initiative to ask.

However, some aspects of Tang Yu's nerves are still quite rough. Qin Yi didn't invite him because he was afraid that his family members would be embarrassed when they asked Tang Yu about their problems, but Tang Yu didn't realize this at all, and didn't even feel that it was abnormal.

Qin Yi still had lunch with Tang Yu. He didn't stop cooking just because he made dumplings. He was afraid that Tang Yu wouldn't be full after eating the dumplings. Sausage, made a vegetable soup.

Tang Yu ate while eating dumplings. The sausages in that roast meat shop were very authentic and had the taste of his hometown.

Before going out, Qin Yi told him again and again, Tang Yu sat down on the ground with Da Mao in his arms to digest after eating and drinking, Qin Yi looked at the two of them, and felt that this family was quite complete.

The uncle was very concerned about Qin Yi's life events, and when he returned to the mansion, Qin Yi was verbose again.

"Ah Yi, you will be 31 years old after the new year, it's time to find a girlfriend and start a family."

Qin Yi got a headache when he heard this, and said perfunctorily: "Uncle, this matter is not urgent, I just fell out of love, and I can't find the state to deal with the next relationship."

The uncle let out a sigh: "That's not the way you said it. Your uncle and I have also experienced it, and I know the pain of losing a relationship. Do you know what is the most effective way to get out of the shadow of a relationship?"

Qin Yi didn't want to know that much, so he shook his head.

The uncle didn't care whether he wanted to know or not, and said to himself: "That's the beginning of another relationship. Look, your daughter from Uncle Song's family is a high-achieving student studying abroad. She needs to have good looks, talent and talent. She is the most suitable for you." But, and your Uncle Song has a very good impression of you, I think this marriage will work!"

Qin Yang kowtowed melon seeds and listened to her father lobbying her cousin. Seeing that Qin Yi was not good enough, she had to help her father speak: "A Yi, even if you're not interested, it's good to see each other. Love is such a thing. Isn't it just a matter of seeing each other, maybe you and Uncle Song's daughter hit it off?"

Qin Yi was afraid that his uncle's family would urge him to marry him every day, so he rubbed his forehead and said, "I really don't want to fall in love now, I just want to be quiet."

The uncle said with a straight face: "How can this work? You see that you are almost over 30 years old, and you are still a widow and have no personal care. To put it bluntly, no one will know when you fall ill at home. But how can we rest assured?"

Hearing this, the first thing Qin Yi thought of was that he had Tang Yu. The last time he was sick, it wasn't because Tang Yu took care of him meticulously. With Tang Yu, he felt that he didn't need to think about forming a The matter of the family, let alone a marriage of the nature of marriage.

Thinking of how his parents had been in harmony with each other for so many years, Qin Yi was skeptical about getting married.

Qin Yang said: "How about Dad, why don't you make an appointment with Uncle Song's family and let him arrange it, and ask Ms. Song to arrange a time to come out on Christmas, so that the two of you can meet?"

Qin Yi quickly raised his hands in surrender: "Don't bother me, sister, I just want to stay at home."

Thinking of the blind date scene, Qin Yi had a headache.

In order to avoid being urged to marry by his uncle again, Qin Yi slipped away after eating the dumplings, for fear that his uncle would really call the so-called Uncle Song.

Tang Yu read a book in the afternoon, and it was a long time after dark before he remembered to eat.Wearing rabbit cotton, he dragged into the kitchen, took out the dumplings made last night from the refrigerator, and started to boil water.

The water and dumplings in the pot were gurgling and tumbling, Tang Yu stood in the kitchen, holding a spoon, humming a little song while stepping on the rhythm with his feet, very comfortable.

When Qin Yi came back, Tang Yu was watching a video on his phone while eating dumplings. When he heard the door open, he thought it was a thief, so scared that the phone almost slipped from his hand.

After seeing that it was Qin Yi who came in, Tang Yu said in surprise: "Brother Qin, why did you come back so early tonight?"

Qin Yi didn't want to tell Tang Yu about the bad things at his uncle's house, so as to save Tang Yu's little head from thinking wildly. When he walked over, he could smell the smell of dumpling stuffing, and he felt a little hungry after he hadn't eaten yet.

Tang Yu asked very politely: "Brother Qin, have you eaten, do you want to eat more?"

Qin Yi nodded: "Is there any more in the pot?"

Tang Yu put down his phone, stood up from his chair and walked into the kitchen, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll cook for you."

Qin Yi saw his back in the fluffy pajamas as he entered the kitchen before going to the bathroom to wash his hands.

The soup left over from the dumplings just now was still warm in the pot, Tang Yu turned on the fire, boiled the soup, poured in a dozen dumplings, and guarded conscientiously in front of him.

Qin Yi changed into home clothes and came in. Tang Yu was still standing in front of the pot with a serious look. Thinking that he was cooking for himself, Qin Yi's heart was so warm.

Sitting face to face at the dining table eating dumplings, Qin Yi remembered that his cousin mentioned Christmas at the uncle's house just now, and after doing some calculations, he found that Christmas was approaching, so he asked Tang Yu: "Qiuqiu, what do you want for Christmas?" What gift do you want?"

"Ah?" Tang Yu raised his face buried in the bowl, and asked in a completely absent-minded way: "Christmas is coming?"

Qin Yi: "There are only two more days left. Do you have anything you want? I'll give it to you as a present."

Tang Yu shook his head quickly: "I don't need anything, Brother Qin, you don't need to spend money."

"Is there really nothing missing?" Qin Yi asked uncertainly.

Tang Yu buried his head in eating dumplings again, and said vaguely: "There is no shortage, I am a student party, besides food and clothing, what else do I lack?"

This rhetoric was exactly the same as Tang Yun's. Qin Yi smiled, and asked him another way: "Then I'll treat you to a big meal, will you go?"

Tang Yu regained his energy immediately, and quickly asked, "What are you going to eat?"

Sure enough, Qin Yi felt that he was holding onto Tang Yu's weak spot tightly in his hands. Tang Yu's reaction was so cute that people couldn't help but feed him.

"Let's go eat turkey and brioche."

When it comes to turkey, a big roast chicken comes to Tang Yu's mind, with plump skin and flesh, thick chicken legs, roasted so oily and delicious.

"Okay!"

Since it was Christmas, gifts must be prepared, and Qin Yi was already preparing to treat him to a big meal, so Tang Yu wondered what gift to give Qin Yi.

Qin Yi looked like he didn't lack for anything, and he didn't have much money.

Christmas is very popular among students. The school’s bulletin boards have written congratulatory messages early on. The shops on the campus have also hung up lanterns, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. fruit to sell.

Although he had not been in college for half a year, Tang Yu belatedly discovered that there were many more couples in the class.As Christmas approaches, the classroom is filled with the sour smell of love, and even in class, some girls bring wool and knit scarves secretly under the desk.

It's probably for a boyfriend.

Tang Yu still couldn't think of what to give Qin Yi. On Christmas Eve, when school was over in the afternoon, he went out a little early, picked a fruit stand, picked a big red apple, and put it in a gift box , and then hide it in the bag.
