Chapter 169: Warmth

Taking a bite of the freshly fried lotus root cake, Liang Xueqin couldn't control the red circles in her eyes anymore, her mother was over, and she spent the Mid-Autumn Festival alone.

Later, a Qiao'er was added, which is not lonely.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is different, she finally has someone to rely on in this world, a home in the true sense.

Men are full of pride, go out, and can make the world their home, but women are different, she wants a home that belongs to herself, a home that can shelter herself from the wind and rain.

This family can be a small family, a house, a room, or an entire country, a powerful army that can shelter the people in a happy life.

The small family already has it, but the mountains and rivers are still broken.

"Sister Xueqin, the lotus root cake made by the third brother is really delicious...... Qiao'er took a bite, and couldn't help but reach out and put one in her mouth.

Of course it's delicious, Liang Xueqin remembered that she told Chen Miao about the lotus root cake made by her mother once, but she didn't expect him to be able to make the same taste as her mother.

Could it be that this is the husband that her mother chose for her in the dark?

Only in this way can we explain why the lotus root cake made by Chen Miao tastes exactly the same as her mother's.

"Third brother, what should I do if there is so much meat stuffing left?" After making the lotus root cake, he found that there was still a lot of meat filling left, so Han Laosi asked.

"Make a lion's head, I'll get it later." Chen Miao turned his head and glanced over, "You go and peel the yam and cut it into cubes." ”

"Okay."

"Xiao Qi, is the fish ready?"

"Alright."

"So fast?" Han Laosi was startled, it would take at least an hour to complete such a big black fish, and Xiao Qi only took less than twenty minutes.

As soon as he turned around, Han Laosi was really scared, on the plate, the head of the fish was facing up, a long spine had been removed, and the fish fillets were neatly stacked on the plate, with uniform thickness, like fish scales, pleasing to the eye.

"Xiao Qi, what did you do?"

Xiao Qi glanced at Han Laosi, and said clearly in his eyes: Is there a fourth person in the kitchen?

"Xiao Qi's knife work, I can't compare." Chen Miao spoke, Xiao Qi's knife work is safely practiced, and there is no shortcut.

"Awesome!" Han Laosi was really convinced, he thought that the knife work was not bad, compared with Xiao Qiyi, it was really worse than a phoenix compared to chickens and ducks.

The fragrance in the kitchen is getting stronger and stronger, Han Laosi is getting more and more unable to help, he can only go to see the fire, Xiao Qi and Chen Miao's cooperation is called handy.

A side dish, a stir-fry, and a look to know what the other party wants, this is simply a golden combination.

Soon, dishes with good colors and flavors were served on the table.

"Wow, braised pork!"

"Squirrel mandarin fish!"

"Yangzhou Lion Head ......"

"Braised gans!"

"Sauce fried shredded eel!"

"Scallion-scented pork ribs!"

……

"Third brother, these are all things that Sister Xueqin likes to eat." Qiao'er was amazed and drooled on the side of the table, smelling the fragrance, looking at the color, she knew that it was delicious.

"It's time to eat, everyone wash their hands, and there is a soup, which will come up in a while." Chen Miao shouted.

After a while, the last sweet and sour soup was served,

Counting lotus root cakes, braised lion's head and stir-fried vegetables, it adds up to exactly ten dishes, which means perfect.

"Come, everyone raise a glass, it's rare to have a chance to get together for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, let's have a toast." Chen Miao took a jar of flower carvings and poured a cup for everyone.

"Thank you, third brother."

A glass of wine went down, the first thing that didn't stabilize was Han Laosi, this guy actually burst into tears on the spot, a big flood, the family was ruined, and a person was left behind, speaking of which, he was also a poor person.

He did things on No. 76, in addition to being coerced, it was nothing more than for a bite to eat, what kind of family and country righteousness, for him, it seemed to be a little more distant, but this person still has a view of right and wrong, at least his nature is not bad, he is going astray, but he doesn't have the courage to break away from No. 76, if he can hide in case of trouble, he will hide, otherwise he will not meet Chen Miao.

Chen Miao can understand, the five people who are sitting are all alone, he and Liang Xueqin don't need to say, his parents are long gone, Xiao Qi has become a beggar, according to him, his father left home very early, he didn't even have an impression, as for his mother, he didn't want to say more, Chen Miao didn't ask, anyway, I didn't see any relatives in him, Qiao'er, was sold to the theater troupe, and later met Liang Xueqin, so he regained his freedom.

If there is a complete home, it is impossible to get together and sit together to eat.

Thinking of relatives during the festive season, this is especially cherishing every opportunity to reunite for those who have left their hometowns and wandered abroad.

"Han Laosi, wipe your tears and eat." Chen Miao took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

"I'm sorry third brother, I lost my temper, I'm sorry." Han Laosi directly wiped his eyes with his sleeve and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Emotions are only temporary, and it's good to pass.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, Xueqin, Qiao'er, you cooked for me in the past, and today you will also taste my craftsmanship." Chen Miao greeted.

Soon everyone was attracted by a table of good dishes, the chopsticks never stopped, and the wine was one cup after another, and Liang Xueqin, who rarely drank alcohol, also accompanied everyone to drink three glasses.

"Third brother, I respect you, if it weren't for you, I would still be in the company of those people in the guard brigade, to tell the truth, I really don't want to be with them, they know about extortion all day long, or just pretend to be robbers, do too many bad things, that is to be punished......" Han Laosi stood up, raised his wine glass and toasted to Chen Miao.

After drinking, he spit out the truth, Han Laosi is now, there are some things he holds in his heart and he doesn't dare to say it, but today with the strength of this wine, and without outsiders, he finally said it.

"Han Laosi, we don't care about other people's affairs, just do our own things, remember to have your own bottom line in life and work." Chen Miao didn't have much to say.

But after that, his opinion of Han Laosi was naturally different.

"The third brother is right, there are so many people on the 76th, the third brother that I admire the most is the third brother, only the third brother, you treat me and Lu Wei as people, and follow you to do things, which is the luck of my Han Laosi's life." Han Laosi raised his wine glass, "Third brother, I'll do it first as a respect." ”

"Han Laosi, don't drink so quickly, it hurts your body."

"It's okay, third brother, I'm happy today." Han Laosi sat down slowly.

If you drink too much, you may not be drunk, but if you are in a bad mood, you are the easiest to get drunk, he still knows the amount of alcohol that Han Laosi has, not bad, but today it is obviously not to his amount, but he is drunk, which is related to his emotional ups and downs just now.

Sad, sad, and suddenly excited, excited, without any buffer process in between, this is the easiest to get drunk.

"No, I can't eat anymore, I can't eat anymore...... Qiao'er shouted that she couldn't eat anymore, but the chopsticks were reluctant to stop.

"Third brother, the dishes you made are so delicious!"

"It's delicious, in the future, when the third brother is free, I will make it for you to eat, I'm afraid that you will get tired of eating it yourself first." Chen Miao smiled, very satisfied.

In addition to having children, in fact, as long as men are willing to do it, many things are nothing to do with women, needlework women are popular, and the big tailors who serve are all men.

It's the same with cooking.

"Xiao Qi, in a while, you drive Han Laosi back, and then come to pick me up." After dinner, Chen Miao quietly instructed Xiao Qi.

"Okay."

"Xueqin, let's go down and take a walk." After cleaning up the dining table, Chen Miao took off her bib and stretched out her hand to Liang Xueqin.

"Okay." Liang Xueqin nodded, she hadn't tried to spend time with Chen Miao and the two of them, today was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

A bright moon has long been hanging in the air, as big as a millstone, because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are still a lot of people on the street at the moment, and the family comes out to enjoy the moon.

There is a street park diagonally opposite the Maggie's apartment, which is verdant, and it is usually a place for nearby residents to take a walk and exercise in the morning, and there are many people gathered at this moment.

"Xueqin, let's go over." Chen Miao stretched out her hand and grabbed Liang Xueqin's soft wattle.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound in the sky ahead, it was someone setting off fireworks, and colorful fireworks flew into the sky, lighting up the entire night sky at once.

Under the cold moonlight, they complement each other.

"Xueqin, let's go set off fireworks too, shall we?" Chen Miao suddenly had the impulse of his youth, and he hadn't let off fireworks for a long time.

"Ah, did you buy fireworks?"

"No, but it's okay, I have a way." Chen Miao smiled and pulled Liang Xueqin to trot all the way.

There is a vacant lot in Jiexin Park, and the nearby residents all choose to set off fireworks in an open place, and when Chen Miao and Liang Xueqin arrived, many people had already gathered here.

There are fireworks vendors nearby.

"Ten Monkey Monkeys...... Chen Miao quickly took out the money and bought all the fireworks left in the hawker's hands in one go.

"Come, Xueqin, these fireworks are ours tonight, let's set them all off!" Chen Miao put a whole basket of fireworks in front of Liang Xueqin.

"That's ...... many"

"Let's put one at a time!" Chen Miao smiled.

Originally, Liang Xueqin was still a little unable to let go, after all, she had already passed her girlhood, and she needed to be stable on the stage, and gradually, she adapted to the current tranquil style.

However, after she let go of her burden and released it, it seemed to return to the happy and carefree time of her childhood.

"Third brother, come on, this one looks good......"

"Third brother, come and help me light the fire......"

"Third Brother ,......"

Chen Miao had never seen Liang Xueqin so happy, her ears were full of her laughter, for a while, he couldn't help but be a little stupid, this laughter should be the most precious thing he has guarded in his heart all his life.

"Third brother, will you accompany me to set off fireworks tomorrow?"

"Yes, every Mid-Autumn Festival in the future, I will accompany you to set off fireworks until we leave this world, and then go to another world, and then set off fireworks together." Chen Miao said.

"Third brother, you are so good to me." Liang Xueqin pressed her head tightly to Chen Miao's chest, and they could both hear each other's heartbeats.

Boom...... Boom......

Liang Xueqin fell asleep, maybe she was tired, maybe Chen Miao's arms were too warm, her breathing was very light and even, Chen Miao just kept holding it, and then the night was cold, so she was sent home with her.

……

"Third brother, where are we going?" Sitting in the car, Chen Miao still had Liang Xueqin's reluctant eyes in front of him, although he could stay, he still decided to leave.

The best things should be savored in the best moments.

I believe Liang Xueqin thinks the same way.

"Kaina Road."

Xiao Qi nodded, Chen Miao didn't plan to go back to Huacun.
