Zhao Yongqing said that it was not that he actually recognize He Songbai, but he wanted to get him to do some work, so there is no need for him to work in vain. If he showed a reluctant expression, Zhao Yongqing would immediately blast him out.

When it was time to prepare lunch, Feng Lian took out the clay teapot to make tea. Zhao Lanxiang was consciously preparing to go out to buy food and then cook, but Zhao Yongqing took his daughter's hand and smiled at He Songbai, "Niu Niu this time was very tired. You can buy some vegetables for her and come back."

He Songbai nodded again and again, "Okay."

He paused and said, "Lan Xiang, please drink tea with Aunt and talk."

After he finished speaking, he consciously walked out of the door and went straight towards the vegetable market. He understood that his father-in-law wanted to test him today, so he had to show his attitude. He should do more work and try to satisfy him. He Songbai happened to have the opportunity to show his shortcomings too. He wished he could take his life and let him ask her hand as soon as possible.

When he recalled that time when he came to the Zhao family house before, he made a secret excuse to come. As a guest, there was no justifiable reason for him to work, and he could only watch his girlfriend wash and cook, and then clean up the chopsticks after eating. Now that he had finally crossed the clear road after withstanding the sneaky underground love of those years that almost suffocated him.

Zhao Lanxiang wanted to go with him, but she retreated after seeing Zhao Yongqing's black face.

He said, "What's the matter? Do I wrong him by letting him buying vegetables? I asked you to sit down so you will sit down."

Zhao Lanxiang had no choice but to accompany Feng Lian to drink tea. She picked up a small ceramic cup and took a sip.

The scent of Biluochun grabbed her taste buds, and after a slight astringency, the tip of her tongue burst into sweetness. This flavor made Feng Lian praised, "The gift that he picked is also very good. This child has a heart."

After He Songbai left, Zhao Yongqing took the jade pendant "with interest," as if he couldn't help it. He only looked at it at a glance for fear of seeing more heartache. He understood that this jadeite was the best quality, and it was very rare. But if that kid wanted to use this jade to please him, he really thinks too much!

Zhao Yongqing closed the door and scolded his daughter with a straight face, "We let you go to the countryside to practice, but not to let you talk about a relationship."

Zhao Lanxiang humbly accepted the lessons from her father, and she nodded, "Daddy, I did learn. It's just that fate is coming, and it can't be stopped. This relationship has already been discussed. A person who had a relationship without the intention of marriage is a hooligan."

Before Zhao Yongqing turned black, she quickly added, "When I was still in the countryside, it was thanks to his help. He often helps me do farm work. Otherwise, you can't see your daughter with fine skin and tender meat during the Chinese New Year. It has long been black coal skin with pimples!"

Little Huzi laughed with a chuckle.

Zhao Yongqing stared at his wife angrily. He suddenly remembered that his wife entrusted He Songbai to take care of his daughter three years ago. In the end, she gave his precious cabbage to a pig.6

Feng Lian coughed.

It seemed that she had to carry the pot, but she didn't want to carry it. She said, "If you dislike her to find such a person, how could you have ruthlessly agreed to her going to the countryside?"

The couple began to fight, and at this time, He Songbai returned with a basket of vegetables.

The argument between the two ended abruptly.

Zhao Yongqing asked angrily, "Can you cook? Today, I am cheeky. Please let us try your craftmanship."

He Songbai saw his father-in-law's uncomfortable complexion, and he was puzzled. It seemed that his father-in-law's mood was worse after he left for a while.

Zhao Lanxiang said to her dear father, "How can you be so embarrassing."

Zhao Yongqing chuckled, "Did I embarrass him?"

"It's difficult to cook a meal. Even your wife can't even make a meal for a family. If I hadn't worked my limbs, then you and my mother should also starve to death."

This is really true. Zhao Lanxiang dare not recall the days when his mother was allowed to cook. In the past two decades, unless it was a special circumstance, her father cooked almost all their food.

Because Feng Lian's craftsmanship is terrible, it is still common for good dishes to lack oil and salt, but she might burn her cooking. In the era of extremely poor supplies, Zhao Yongqing seldom let his wife cook because he was distressed for the food. He had been around the kitchen for twenty years.

Zhao Lanxiang suddenly felt that He Songbai was under a lot of pressure, and at the same time, envied her mother. She remembered that she was raised by her father on his back when she was a child. Feng Liang's work will have lessons from morning till night. Standing on the podium for a few hours, and have not had the time to take care of her. In contrast, his father, who sits at the cash register behind the counter obtusely, can take care of her. He will carry a few bottles of milk and a baby to work every day.

Zhao Lanxiang recalled the past and was very moved. She thanked him very much.

She said with a smile, "Dad is very good. You have worked hard for so many years, father. Brother Bai should learn from you."

In this way, under the unanimous decision of a family of several people, He Songbai brought a piece of ribs, a chicken, and a handful of vegetables into the kitchen under great pressure.

Zhao Lanxiang glanced at He Songbai slightly worriedly. But she saw that He Songbai smiled and motioned to her with an "OK" gesture.

Zhao Lanxiang was relieved to get his "please be assured" look.

He Songbai walked into the kitchen and put on an apron. He boiled a pot of hot water and began to deal with the chicken, killing the chicken and plucking the feather. The whole chicken was put in the water and cooked, then placed in cold water after cooking. After hot water and cold water, this trick can make the meat taste tender.

His knife work has always been very good, and it is not difficult to make the chicken pieces even and complete. A chicken can be rearranged into a whole chicken after being cut into fifty pieces. This is probably due to the work of killing pigs he did a few years ago, which made his knife work unambiguous.

Zhao Lanxiang was not at ease, but she saw such a scene when she glanced at the kitchen.

The man was putting the last pile of chicken on the plate. His hands were covered with grease, but his expression was very attentive and serious. Under his hands, the chicken was neatly rearranged. The chicken skin of the meat piece is golden and oily, and the flesh is white, which makes a complete chicken. The snow-white apron was tied to him, and his tall, tall body was magnificent and clean, a little serious but handy.

He wiped his hands and cut the onion, garlic, and coriander to make a dip. The soy sauce was bubbling in the pan. He turned the pan to heat the oil evenly and quickly poured it into the dishes.
