Second Marriage in the 1970s - Chapter 85

“Mika is teaching in No. 1 Middle School now?”

Ji Qingming picked up the teacup on the coffee table and looked at Meixiang with the tea foam. Yang Yuqin went to the kitchen to wash the fruits. Before Meixiang came, she bought grapes, loquats and a big watermelon.

“Yes, uncle, I just graduated in June.”

Meixiang sat very upright, her legs close together, her hands hanging naturally on her thighs, she looked obediently with a hint of tension.

Li Qingming nodded, put the teacup back on the coffee table, and smiled at Meixiang, “Lesbians are good teachers, their jobs are stable, and their jobs are very meaningful. Comrade Stalin once said that teachers are engineers of the human soul. It can be seen that the impact of this profession on people is very far-reaching.”

Meixiang listened very carefully, her eyes were bright, and she felt like a primary school student listened to the teacher’s lecture. She nodded in agreement from time to time, amused Ji Zhenfeng.

He now discovers that his girlfriend is like a treasure box, with all kinds of looks, sometimes like a well-behaved cat, sometimes dancing fiercely with claws, and sometimes being silly and silly that makes people want to tease. , But I love more in my heart, and I think she looks so cute and pleasing to the eye.

“Dad, you said this mainly to praise your mother, right? Mom just has been a teacher for a lifetime. The peaches and plums are fragrant in Yun County.”

Yang Yuqin came out of the kitchen with the fruit plate and put it in front of Meixiang. She heard her husband and son in the kitchen, knowing that her son was teasing herself deliberately.

She sat down and said, “What’s the matter with being a teacher? Being a **** teacher can not only teach and educate people, but also take care of the family. Since childhood, the three of you were not all brought up by me little by little, carrying you to school. When I was in class, your little ones were sitting in the tubs, and the bigger ones were catching bugs and pulling the bark on the school playground. Your dad is so busy at work. It’s not bad to be at home for two days a month. You can’t control you at all.”

Ji Qingming nodded as he listened, “Yes, our family is mainly due to your mother. I admit this and I am very grateful.”

Yang Yuqin glanced at her husband and said grotesquely, “Are you reluctant to say this? Why, I made a mistake, and I am not convinced in my heart?”

Ji Qingming waved his hand again and again, “No, absolutely not, I will always recognize your selfless dedication to this family from the bottom of my heart, and always recognize any word you say.”

The relationship between their husband and wife has always been very harmonious, and they would quarrel from time to time. This is the way they get along for decades, but Meixiang was taken aback. In her opinion, Ji Zhenfeng’s parents are both high-intellectuals. It should be that. This kind of speech is very reserved, very modest, and makes people feel distanced. Unexpectedly, they would also quarrel and quarrel, no different from ordinary people, and the sense of closeness in their hearts immediately came up.

Yang Yuqin felt embarrassed after “arguing” with her husband. She patted Meixiang’s hand and said, “Meixiang, don’t mind, this is how we quarrel.”

She pointed to the fruit plate on the table and said, “Don’t just sit and eat the fruit. This grape is freshly washed by me, and this loquat is sweet. The watermelon is also sweet. You can eat whatever you like. Don’t be restrained.”

Meixiang responded with a smile, “Thank you, Auntie.”

She took a grape and put it in her mouth, and Yang Yuqin looked at Meixiang with a smile, eating something like a squirrel, which made people like it when they saw it.

“What do your family think about the relationship between you and Zhenfeng, are they all supportive?”

Yang Yuqin also took a loquat, peeled it, and chatted with Meixiang while eating.

“They all respect my opinion. I think it’s good, so I must find someone who is kind to me, can talk to me, and respect me for a lifetime.”

This answer made Yang Yuqin a little surprised. After all, families with this kind of consciousness are still rare.

“Your family’s thinking is very right. It is very important to live a life with two people. I have seen a lot of families. The couple is either speechless or quarreling every day. The good life is a mess. I am quite disgusted with it.”

So after the eldest son got married, the daughter-in-law was not close to him. She wanted to move out and live with her. She didn’t want to talk too much. What can you do if people don’t treat you as a mother and treat you as an outsider? I’m bored, it’s better to stay far away and live a good life.

Anyway, the old couple have wages and savings, and they can take care of themselves. In this life, I don’t know if they can spend a day with their daughter-in-law, so they will not add to their own congestion. Is it possible that they still have to look at their daughter-in-law’s face to live?

“How many people are there in your family? Do they all live together?”

Meixiang shook her head, “When I was in my hometown, my parents lived with my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and my second brother lived in the yard next door. After going to school in the provincial capital, they lived together.”

“Yes, I heard Zhenfeng say that there are four college students in your family.”

Meixiang smiled modestly and explained, “Actually, strictly speaking, I am not a college student. I am a junior college student. I graduated after a year and a half. My elder brothers are serious college students.”

“I know that the school you attended was opened by the Provincial Education Bureau of our provincial government to cultivate education talents. The admission scores were not low. I remember that only 240 points can be admitted.”

“The enrollment teacher came to our house to mobilize. I thought it was a good fit for me, so I went.”

“That’s right, so, don’t underestimate yourself. It’s not easy to be able to go to this school.”

“I heard Zhenfeng said that your sister opened a restaurant?”

“Just opened, business is very good, uncles and aunts can go there if they have time to try it.”

“I will definitely go if I have a chance.”

After chatting for a while, Yang Yuqin started to prepare dinner, and Meixiang was embarrassed to sit, and went to the kitchen to help.

“Zhenfeng said that you cook delicious food, even today, you are here for the first time, next time, I will also taste your craftsmanship.”

“He was complimenting me, and I didn’t make it so delicious.”

“Is it delicious? I’ll know if I taste it next time.”

“Then… how about I cook a dish for my uncle and aunt today?”

“Okay, the ingredients are here, you see what you want to do.”

Meixiang saw that there was a large piece of pork belly in the kitchen, and she thought of braised lion heads. She learned from her sister-in-law, who said that her lion head is very authentic.

“Do uncles and aunts like meatballs? I can cook lion head, or braised pork in brown sauce.”

“Oh, that’s a big dish. Okay, just make a lion head. Zhenfeng and his dad love it.”

Meixiang nodded and hummed, picked up the pork belly and cut off half of it, and then began to clean the chopped meat.

Ji Zhenfeng couldn’t hold back the sound of booming booming from the kitchen.

“Ms. Zhao, are you going to show off today?”

“I’m okay when I’m idle. Be a lion head and give it to my uncles and aunts to taste.”

“I’ll help you chop the meat.”

“No, I can do it myself.”

“It’s okay, you ask him to help, tell him not to wait to eat, **** men also have to help with housework.”

Meixiang handed the kitchen knife to Ji Zhenfeng.

During Ji Zhenfeng’s time to chop the meat, Meixiang took the time to prepare the ingredients for lion’s head, green onions, ginger, and eggs, cornstarch and various seasonings.

After Ji Zhenfeng chops the meat, Meixiang puts the meat fillings in a clean basin, adds salt, monosodium glutamate, cooking wine, green onion and **** froth and stirs vigorously, then puts in water, eggs, and starch, mix well, and marinate for about 20 minutes .

Boil the oil in a hot pan until it is 60 or 70% hot. Dump the meat into small fist-sized meat **** and fry them in the hot oil until golden brown and remove the oil for use.

Add oil in a hot pan, add aniseed ingredients and sauté, then add oyster sauce and sauté until fragrant, then add water, salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, soy sauce, chicken powder, and pepper to a boil over high heat, and finally put the fried lion head on medium heat Simmer for 20 minutes, and a delicious braised lion head is ready.

“This is made by Mika.”

“It’s pretty beautiful. I didn’t expect Mika to have this craft.”

“No, it’s easy to cook. At first glance, there is a craftsmanship. No wonder your sister runs a restaurant.”

Ji Zhenfeng first clipped one for his dad, then Yang Yuqin and Meixiang, and finally it was his turn.

“Well, the taste is good, the meat is tender and not greasy. This craft is already comparable to the chef of a state-owned restaurant.”

“We really don’t eat this. It’s too delicate. I don’t know how to do it anyway.”

“I learned this from my sister-in-law, she is very good at cooking, and many dishes can be made as long as she has seen it.”

“I always listen to you talking about your sister-in-law. I’ll see you later. She must be a very good young man.”

Meixiang nodded, “My sister-in-law is very good, she taught me a lot of things.”

“This is marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, so, my uncle and I also hope that you and Zhenfeng can settle down earlier. He, he is not young, and we didn’t meet the right one before and didn’t urge us much. Now that we meet When it’s suitable, it’s time to hurry up.”

Meixiang glanced at Ji Zhenfeng shyly, he was smiling happily.

After eating, Meixiang wanted to help Yang Yuqin clean up the table and chopsticks, but Yang Yuqin stopped her.

“You go sit down and rest, and talk to your uncle for a while. I get these things up quickly.”

Meixiang had no choice but to sit back in the living room.

“Meixiang, tell your parents when I go back. Zhenfeng’s mother and I will have to come back to visit your family in a while.”

The meaning of an official visit is naturally the meaning of being settled. Meixiang’s heart jumped, a little happy, and a little flustered. Ji Zhenfeng sat beside Meixiang, secretly held Meixiang’s hand, felt the wetness of Meixiang’s palm, and rubbed her. Palm.

“Well, well, I’ll talk about it when I go back.”

Yang Yuqin walked into the room after tidying up the kitchen. When she came out, she took a red envelope in her hand.

“Mixiang, the first time you came here, it is logical that both my uncle and I are going to give red envelopes. You accept this because of my heart and your uncle’s intentions.”

Meixiang hurriedly got up and refused, “Auntie, I can’t accept this.”

In rural areas, blind dates are set up quickly by both parties. The parents of both parties have a clear talk about the wedding ceremony. It is very rare that Mika can be called free love, so Mika really doesn’t know this custom, and doesn’t know the money. Should it be received or not.

“Be obedient, this is our rule of being an elder, not accepting it is inappropriate.”

Ji Zhenfeng also said, “My parents gave it to you, so please accept it.”

“Then…thank you, uncle and aunt.”

It was getting late, and Meixiang left. Yang Yuqin picked up a basket of grapes for Meixiang to bring back, saying that it was sent by a student and could not be bought locally.

Ji Zhenfeng sent Meixiang back to the restaurant. On the way, he was very happy with grapes in one hand and Meixiang in the other.

“It’s great, we’ll be able to settle down soon.”

Meixiang curled her lips and smiled in the dark night. All the worries and harm she had had before coming here no longer existed. She felt that she was very lucky to be admitted to university, had a good job, and met a good man like Ji Zhenfeng.

His parents were kind and reasonable. They did not despise her because she was a rural girl, but took good care of her.

Sure enough, just like my sister-in-law said, “If you are fragrant, the butterfly will come”. After hard work, everything is developing in a good direction.
