Chapter 294
Study.
The wind blew in from the window, but everyone sitting in the firebox didn't feel cold at all, and they all drooled at the hot pot in front of them.
"Zhao Xiyan, why is this side white and the other side red?" Yu Li said in a delicate voice.
"One is clear soup, the other is red soup... you can think of it as one spicy and the other not spicy." Zhao Xiyan put all kinds of seasonings on the table and chuckled, "You can adjust the flavor you like."
After that, he made a bowl of dipping sauce himself.
Others followed suit, basically adjusting according to his taste.
Lou Xiao'e was about to pick up the meat, but was stopped by Qin Huairu.
"Sisters, let's wish Xiao Zhao a safe trip to the countryside and a smooth return..."
"Ha, it's still so ceremonial?" Zhao Xiyan joked.
"Of course not?"
Zhang Youyi said seriously, "In the old society, when men went out to earn money, they had to celebrate in a grand manner..."
"I'm not going out to earn money." Zhao Xiyan laughed and scolded.
"Isn't it different?"
An Xin rolled her eyes at him, "Anyway, you are the pillar of our family... As long as you are safe, everyone will be fine."
"Then... one person will go?"
Zhao Xiyan raised his glass and said, "I also wish you all to be twenty today and eighteen next year. Cheers."
"Cheers."
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them lightly.
"Oh, what is this? It tastes so good." Yu Haitang exclaimed.
"It seems to be some kind of lemon soda." An Xin joked, "Anyway, it's something the man at home brought... It tastes good, just drink more."
"Zhao Xiyan is really capable." Yu Li smiled and shook her head, "Such a big fish and meat... Is this how landlords in the old society lived?"
"How can landlords live as well as my family."
Lou Xiao'e laughed and scolded, "Although my family used to be rich, many good things were only eaten after I followed my man."
"Hurry up and put the meat, why are you talking so much."
Zhao Xiyan put a plate of chopped mutton in the red soup, and a plate of beef in the clear soup.
Everyone looked at the boiling hot pot and kept swallowing their saliva.
Waited for a while.
"The meat is cooked."
After Zhao Xiyan laughed, he took out the meat and put it in an empty bowl.
"Wow, this is so delicious, isn't it?"
"I've never eaten such delicious meat in my life."
"Eating hot pot makes me feel better."
...
Everyone praised the hot pot.
"There is nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot meal. If there is... then two meals."
Zhao Xiyan picked up a piece of beef tripe, boiled it, and put it in Qin Huairu's bowl.
Qin Huairu's pretty face flushed immediately, and she lowered her head to eat.
I didn't feel it at ordinary times, but once Zhao Xiyan favored her, her little heart couldn't stop beating wildly, just like the first time she told him that she wanted to be with him.
"Xiyan, I want to eat too." Lou Xiao'e said in a delicate voice.
"Eat, eat, eat, there are all... a cow's tripe is not a small amount."
After Zhao Xiyan boiled a bunch of beef tripe, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhao Xiyan, there are so many women, it's not easy to deal with them, right?" Lin Lu joked.
"Of course not."
Yu Haitang also smiled and said, "We have to treat everyone equally... otherwise the family will be very noisy in the future."
"There must be a woman in charge of the family, otherwise there will be too many women and it will be very noisy." Yu Li also smiled.
"I say... don't play with me anymore." Zhao Xiyan sighed, "I think you are like those women in the old society... your view of love is completely wrong, we are the youth of the new era."
"It has only been a few years since the liberation, and you have begun to regard yourself as a 'new youth'?" Zhang Youyi laughed and scolded.
"We grew up under the red flag and are the Chinese youth of the new era." Zhao Xiyan smiled and said, "We should follow monogamy... this is the correct view of marriage."
"Who is not monogamous?"
Lou Xiaoe rolled her eyes at him, "I'm not your wife, I'm your concubine..."
Puff!
Everyone laughed immediately.
"What's good about being a concubine? You don't have to be beaten and scolded by your parents-in-law, and you don't have to take care of the daily life of the family... Isn't this a good life?" Yu Li smiled.
"Well, you have a distorted view of marriage." Zhao Xiyan lit a cigarette, "Who said that you will be beaten and scolded by your parents-in-law after marriage? Who stipulated that you must take care of the daily life of the family?"
"That's the rule."
Zhang Youyi rolled her eyes at him, "Look at Guo Ting in the yard, and then look at Liu Chunlan in the yard... Who is not holding a pile of clothes to wash in the cold winter?"
"That's right."
Lin Lu scolded, "Yesterday Chunlan told me that she had frostbite on her hands... asked Yan Jiecheng for money to buy some medicine, Yan JiechengI won't give it to her, I'll ask her to get some ash."
"Hiss, there's such a thing?" Zhao Xiyan was surprised.
"Why do you think everyone is willing to follow you?" Qin Huairu scolded, "Guo Ting is scolded by Jia Zhang every day, and occasionally Jia Dongxu is annoyed...she will be beaten."
"No, what are the uncles in our yard for?" Zhao Xiyan frowned, "How can you beat a woman? Director Zhang is also the director of women's affairs. He will be obedient if he is arrested and locked up for a few days."
In his era, you dare to beat a little fairy?
You don't want to live anymore.
A certain red book was published.
"Girls, I was beaten by a scumbag."
Then post your photo.
Although the person is not dead yet, he is already socially dead.
"You, you are so powerful and well-rounded outside, how can you know these things about women? "Zhang Youyi scolded, "If you beat me, I will report to the street office... If you are arrested, what should I do?"
"No, Zhang Youyi... You are educated at least, how can you be so feudal?" Zhao Xiyan frowned, "What are you going to do? At worst, we can just get a divorce, what else can we do?"
"Divorce? That's easy for you to say."
Yu Li continued, "Now that you are divorced, when you go back to your parents' home... your parents will think you are ashamed. If you have brothers, it will be even more lively. Your sister-in-law and sister-in-law will not drive you out."
"Is that so?" Zhao Xiyan was surprised.
"This is the current situation, you know?" Lin Lu laughed, "Do you think Xiao'e said she was happy to coax you? Go ask Guo Ting, does she dare to sleep until noon?"
"We still have hot water to wash clothes." Qin Huairu laughed, "If this matter is spread out... Liu Chunlan will probably think I am crazy. ”
“What’s wrong with washing clothes with hot water?” Zhao Xiyan asked curiously.
“Doesn’t hot water need coal? Doesn’t coal cost money?” An Xin rolled her eyes at him, “The coal in the house is limited. If you waste it like this… how can we live?”
Zhao Xiyan was silenced.
Life these days is much harder than he imagined.
“Xiao Zhao… we are having a great time, so don’t worry about us.” Qin Huairu raised her glass, “Let’s have a drink…”
“Cheers.”
Everyone shouted in unison, and the atmosphere reached its climax.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
