winter solstice

From processing the ingredients to serving on the plate, Jiang Yuan spent more than 40 minutes cooking four dishes and one soup: braised autumn fish with tomato sand tea, bamboo prawns with garlic, steamed eggs with clams, spicy safflower crab, mushrooms Geoduck Soup.Qiao Dongzhi helped to arrange the bowls and chopsticks to serve the rice, and the two began to eat.During the period, Jiang Yuan talked about some things that happened when several patients in his hospital were hospitalized, which can be regarded as all kinds of life. He also talked about his sister's recent behavior of hating marriage, and then teased Qiao Dongzhi, saying that your friend Bao Rui is really amazing. If you can really accept my sister, and let Qiao Dongzhi take good care of Lingling, maybe she will be abducted in a few years.Qiao Dongzhi could hear his reluctance for Jiang Xiaoxia from his words, so he couldn't comfort her directly, so he said that Lingling was still young and it was too early.And then Jiang Yuan somehow got around to the blind date again, saying that her mother had found another blind date for him, and she planned to let him meet this weekend again, so he just talked about him and the winter solstice two days ago. I told her on the phone, and I also called my uncle to thank him, and asked him when he was free to visit his house, his family wanted to see him.

When Jiang Yuan said this, his tone was not in a hurry, just like talking about other people's affairs. After Qiao Dongzhi heard it, he was not so calm. He felt that he and Jiang Yuan hadn't started much yet, so why did they reach the point of meeting their parents? He put down his chopsticks and looked at Jiang Yuan, hesitantly said: "It's too early." Jiang Yuan didn't answer his question, just lowered his head and took another sip of soup, then raised his head and said: "It's okay, don't be nervous, you have met my sister, and I told them about your situation, my mother is now retired and has nothing to do at home, she likes children very much, next weekend you take Lingling there, just treat it as a guest at a friend's house Have a meal."

Qiao Dongzhi understood the meaning of his words, and thought that Jiang Yuan had always looked at the considerate, thoughtful, and well-founded, and had a strong side like his uncle in his bones, and there was little room for people to refuse in major matters.Qiao Dongzhi didn't want to appear too coy, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "That's ok, when Lingling comes back next week, I'll take her to your house for lunch." After midnight, Jiang Yuan had to go to work the next day, so he said goodbye and left.

On the phone that day, Jiang's mother heard her son say that the person she introduced to her brother-in-law had already started dating, and she seemed to be reassured all of a sudden, and she was no longer so pressing.He knew that the young man was not sure when he first met him. Although she was curious and wanted to meet him immediately, she didn't act too anxious. She just asked about the other person's personal and family situation.With Bao Rui and Jiang Xiaoxia, Jiang Yuan knew about Qiao Dongzhi's family situation, so he talked to his mother, and finally offered to bring someone over when he had time to get to know each other.Jiang's mother was a little dizzy after receiving surprises from her son one after another, thinking that this son seemed to be enlightened and knew how to catch up with his peers.She said hello several times before hanging up the phone, then turned around and hurriedly called to share her son's gossip with Father Jiang who was at work.

Lingling returned to school after participating in activities on Sunday evening. Qiao Dongzhi went to school to pick her up. When she got home, she packed her small suitcase, then sat her down, and told her to take her to Jiangxi next weekend. Uncle's house as a guest.Qiao Dongzhi didn't hide it from her, and told her about his blind date with Jiang Yuan.Lingling is already sensible at the age of ten. She knows what it means. Her brother may marry an uncle in the future.After hearing what his brother said, he lowered his head and didn't speak. He didn't even want to share with his brother the life on the island that had excited him for the past two days. After years of stable life, she almost forgot that she was a child that her parents didn't want.The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and she couldn't help crying in a low voice after a while.
