Chapter 79 Winter Hot Pot
Cheng Tianyuan moved it out, cleaned it with snow, then threw charcoal inside, and started to burn it.
Then, he cut the beef and mutton into thin slices, and sliced two large plates.
Xue Ling brought the bone soup, added mushrooms and made some ginger.
"The weather is cold, so we add a little more ginger when making soup. It is good for the body and can also remove the wind and cold."
Cheng Tianyuan responded happily and said, "I bought several pieces of big ginger earlier, enough for us to eat it for the New Year."
The preparations were completed soon, and the four of them gathered together to eat hot pot.
Cheng Tianfang was happily eating and kept laughing: "It's so delicious! I'm almost overwhelmed! No, brother, give me some more! The county town is so good! I'm really here right!"
Ouyang Mei, who was standing beside her, echoed: "I have asked you to come a long time ago! Look, you have everything you want to eat and drink, unlike in the countryside, you don't have anything you want!"
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at his girl, and didn't want to say anything in front of Ouyang Mei, so he continued to brush mutton for Xue Ling to eat.
Ouyang Mei eats happily and talks more.
"My brother has already taken a bus and brought a lot of goods. Our store has been cleaned almost. The shelves will be delivered in two days. It will be opened soon and make a lot of money! Haha!"
Cheng Tianfang was also very excited and said, "I will stay in the county town in the future and make a lot of money with Brother Cong... and you and Brother Xiang!"
...
After eating, Ouyang Mei and Cheng Tianfang went to the next door with melon seeds and peanuts.
Xue Ling cleaned the dining table, Cheng Tianyuan boiled hot water, and cleaned the dishes and chopsticks.
The snow outside stopped, but the cold wind blew, making the snowflakes fly, and it was still very cold.
Xue Ling sat at the dining table for translation, thinking while scrutinizing in context, and then wrote down after confirming that it was correct.
Cheng Tianyuan went to the second floor to clean the house and did not come down to the kitchen to drink water until he was thirsty.
Xue Ling stretched and asked, "Did you call home? How are your parents in good health?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "I'm fine. Mom said the two hot water bags you bought are really good. Our dad uses them every day, one of them applies to his arms at night and the other warms his feet with his mom. It's very comfortable to use them."
Xue Ling chuckled softly and said, "I will buy two more when I go back next time, and give them one to warm their feet."
Cheng Tianyuan also laughed and whispered: "I'll accompany you to buy it."
Xue Ling lowered his voice and asked, "Whether your parents know that my sister-in-law is here? Do they agree?"
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head and explained: "She told her parents that Ouyang Mei lives next door with us now and is busy opening a store. She needs her help for a while. When her store is no longer busy, she will go back. She dare not tell the truth and deceive them perfunctorily."
After a pause, he added: "If our father knew that she came to the county town, he would definitely not agree. The girl deliberately packed her luggage while my father was away and left Ouyang Mei. My mother had no choice but to chase her, and she couldn't catch her. My mother said, my father was so angry that he smashed the bowl."
Xue Ling sighed softly and whispered: "Dad is worried that she is here for that Lin Cong, so she is so angry."
Every family of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl is confused about the world and can't help but worry.
Cheng Tianyuan said in a deep voice: "I have told my mother that when the weather gets clear and the car can drive to the suburbs, I will take her back."
"Yes." Xue Ling nodded.
That evening, the two of them came to have supper, and after that, they shook their hands and went back to the next door.
Ouyang Mei was criticized by Xue Ling before, but when she saw that Cheng Tianyuan had never given her a good face, she didn't dare to come and have a meal too often.
Now that Cheng Tianfang is making an excuse, she really wants to come over every meal.
