Seeing that Lao Cheng didn't understand, the deputy manager thought he was pretending, so he said, "Your son-in-law is so rich, can he buy you a drink during the Chinese New Year?"

Lao Cheng was unhappy and said: "Don't talk nonsense, my daughter doesn't have a partner yet."

The deputy manager didn't believe it and said, "Pull him down. Don't hide it. Your son-in-law is a wealthy man who drives a luxury car. The whole bank knows it. Why are you trying to hide it?"

Now Lao Cheng gave up and said: "Who are you listening to?

Before the deputy manager could react, he said smoothly: "What is nonsense? You have already performed on the same stage with your son-in-law, and it was broadcast on TV and you still don't admit it?"

Lao Cheng quickly explained: "You misunderstood. The guy who sang with us is a friend of mine, not Xiaoxiao's boyfriend at all."

The deputy manager laughed: "Manager Cheng, it's not a shameful thing for Xiaoxiao to find a rich boyfriend. What are you doing? That day in the service hall, when he came to see Xiaoxiao, he brought

Cheng Xiao's manager Sun has met him, he is the one who sang with you and played Diao Deyi. You don't need to keep it a secret, and I won't ask you to borrow money."

Lao Cheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't even know when the deputy manager left.

At this moment, his mind was completely confused. No matter how much he thought, he could not connect the person who ran and played chess with him every day with the eldest son-in-law Cheng Xiao was looking for.

How can this be!

After wandering around the office for a long time, he finally went to find Manager Sun.

Fortunately, Manager Sun hasn't left yet.

There were four or five people there in Manager Sun's room. He stood at the door and opened his mouth several times, but made no sound.

Manager Sun saw him and asked him: "Manager Cheng, are you looking for me if you have something to do?"

"Hey, hey," he finally said, "Xiao Sun, I, I want to have a few words with you alone.

Manager Sun followed him out and went into his room. He asked Manager Sun to sit down and closed the door. After hesitating for a long time, he asked her: "Tell me, who is the person who sings with me?"

Is she Xiaoxiao’s partner?”

He couldn't even speak together.

Manager Sun smiled and said, "Why are you asking me about this? Don't you know it yourself?"

"I really don't know." He blurted out, and then felt that this sentence was not appropriate.

If you sing an opera with someone and you don't even know who they are, isn't that stupid?

"No, no," he quickly explained, "I mean, the person you said I was singing with was the same person who came to the bank lobby to find Xiaoxiao that day?"

Manager Sun was almost confused, and he didn't even know how to answer him.

But she still said: "Yes. Everyone said you were unwilling, which is nonsense. I'm just saying, why wouldn't you be willing to have such a rich son-in-law who drives a luxury car? You two are all on the same stage.

, this rumor is self-defeating."

Old Cheng Xin said, "What kind of mess are you doing? Why do I have to be willing? I didn't know it in the first place. It's all messed up at my grandma's house!"

"Did you read that right? The person singing with me is the person you saw in the hall?" He had no choice but to ask again.

"How can I talk nonsense?" Manager Sun said, "I went to see your performance that day, it's absolutely true!"

Old Cheng was stupid again.

"Manager Cheng, what's wrong with you?" Manager Sun looked at him and asked. Why do you feel that old Cheng is acting a little weird today?

It took a long time for Lao Cheng to react.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, what about Xiaosun, it's okay, why don't you go and get busy?"

Manager Sun felt a little worried and asked him cautiously: "Manager Cheng, are you really okay?"

"It's okay, it's really okay." He had no choice but to smile deliberately. He didn't know that his smile was uglier than crying.

No wonder Lao Zhao is angry with him. He even sang with that Zhou Dalin. Doesn't this mean he has accepted him? You have accepted Cheng Xiao's boyfriend, and you still encourage his son to get close to Cheng Xiao.

Xiao, what are you doing? Aren't you just kidding me? If you leave him alone, he would be angry!

But how did this opera singer Xiao Zhou become Zhou Dalin? This is simply unbelievable!

Lao Cheng returned home listlessly. Wu Ying was in the kitchen, preparing New Year's dinner with Cheng Xiao.

At this time, fortunately, Zhou Dalin had returned to the provincial capital to spend the New Year with his parents. Otherwise, he would have to come to prepare the New Year's dinner, and he would have to meet Lao Cheng again.

However, before he left, he taught Wu Ying a few dishes. Before the Chinese New Year, he would prepare a semi-finished product and cook it in the pot on the New Year's Day, which would save time.

One is the crystal elbow. First, add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and aniseed to the pork hind leg, marinate it, cook it, and freeze it when the flavor is absorbed. When eating it during the Chinese New Year, take it out and melt it.

Steam it in a pot and put it on a plate, then use a wok to heat up the oil, add sugar and stir-fry until browned, pour it directly onto the elbows, and a plate of crystal elbows is ready.

If you want it to look better, you can put a layer of lettuce leaves under the plate.

There are also tiger-skinned eggs. Boil the eggs and peel them, fry them in hot oil until brown, and store them in the refrigerator. When eating, cut them into several pieces, arrange them on the plate, stir-fry them and pour the color on them, and it will become a big dish immediately.

.

Cut the meat into long strips, add light soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorns, pickle it with salt, wrap it in starch paste and leave it. When eating it during the Chinese New Year, fry it in hot oil and cook it. It is also a big dish.

There are many similar methods. Zhou Dalin taught Wu Ying once. He was afraid that she would not remember it, so he wrote down the ingredients and methods and gave them to her to keep.

Today is the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Wu Ying started to work.

While he was busy, he said to Cheng Xiao: "No wonder when we go to a restaurant to eat, it takes a while to order a dish and it will be served. It turns out that these can be made into semi-finished products, and then turned into finished products when eating, it is faster. What do you mean?

Xiao Zhou, how come he knows everything?"

Cheng Xiao just smiled and said nothing. How could Zhou Dalin have made her fall in love with him if he hadn't hesitated? She really admired this man in her heart, and her admiration slowly turned into love.

Her mother still wouldn't shut up.

"My thoughts in this life have basically not been on cooking. The main reason is that I think cooking is too difficult to learn. If I can't learn it, I don't like cooking. As a result, your father has been with me for half his life and has not eaten many meals.

Delicious rice. This time, Xiao Zhou taught me how to cook. It’s not difficult to cook, and there is so much knowledge in it. Don’t tell me, I think cooking is really interesting after he taught me this. This year,

Our family’s New Year’s Eve dinner will be sumptuous, let your dad enjoy the feast I cooked.”

At this point, he said with emotion: "Your dad is so stubborn, if he hadn't objected to the matter between you and Xiao Zhou, why would I have bothered so much!"

At this point, when she turned around, she was so frightened that she almost threw the frying spoon on the ground. Lao Cheng was standing silently at the door of the kitchen, looking at her coldly.

"What are you doing? Do you want to scare me to death?" she said angrily.

Lao Cheng said coldly: "I said you are fine. You have to quarrel with Lao Zhao and his wife and don't sing with them. Are you setting a trap for me? Just to keep me and yours together."

My dear, rich son-in-law, let’s sing on stage together, right?”

Fortunately, Wu Ying had already put the frying spoon on the stove, otherwise she would have thrown it on the floor.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of wealthy son-in-law?"

Wu Ying still pretended to be calm.

"Hmph! Wu Ying, Wu Ying, you've been full of bad habits since you were young, and this time you've got all your bad habits on me! You're deliberately trying to frame me, so I can't tell you what I'm talking about!"

"Hey, what are you talking about? You can't explain anything clearly?"

"That Zhou Dalin and I have been eating together, running and singing together, and I even instigated Shihao to come to our house to coax Xiaoxiao. Tell me, in the eyes of Lao Zhao, what did I do? You asked me

How can I have the nerve to meet Lao Zhao? I have already expressed my position in the work. Even if I am very poor, I will not sell my daughter! This is good, everyone in the bank knows that I have adopted a wealthy son-in-law, and I even perform on the same stage with him.

Oh! Where can I put this old face of mine?"

Wu Ying knew that her secret was revealed, but she couldn't show weakness at this time, let alone admit her mistake. Otherwise, Lao Cheng would be completely embarrassed this time, and he would vent all his grievances on her, and he would have to fight her to the death!

"Hey, don't be so sarcastic. Did I ask you to go for a meal and run with Xiao Zhou? You brought Xiao Zhou home by yourself, and I didn't let you get to know him. Why should you rely on me?

ah?"

"You! Do you dare to say that you don't know that Zhou Dalin?"

"I know him, but how did I know you would bring him home? You have brought him back, what did you ask me to say?"

"Don't try to pretend to me! Why didn't you say he was Zhou Dalin then?"

"Hey, Lao Cheng, I found that there is something wrong with your mind. You have brought people home, and you don't even know who you brought back. Who do you tell this to, and who will believe it?

"

Lao Cheng thought about it, right? How could he do such an outrageous thing?

Then I thought, no, this is not right!

"Tell me, are you colluding to fool me?"

Wu Ying immediately denied it.

"Who fooled you? When you brought Xiao Zhou back, you scared me. How could I know what was going on with you? I thought you had already reconciled."

"What kind of reconciliation? I don't even know him. How can I reconcile with him?" Old Cheng yelled angrily.

"You don't know him, how come you brought him to your home?"

It's come around again. It's really hard to explain.

Lao Cheng found that his brain simply wasn't enough.

"Cheng Xiao, tell me, what's going on?"

Cheng Xiao said: "Dad, you didn't sell your daughter. You have been with him for such a long time, and you should know who he is. I really want to be with him. I really don't want him to be rich, really.

"

"I didn't ask that." Lao Cheng still shouted, "I'm asking you, did you, him, and your mother collude to fool me?"

Cheng Xiao said: "Da Lin and I colluded, and my mother didn't know. But if you let him go and don't care about his money, wouldn't you get along well with him?"

"That's two different things! He's so much older than you, and he's still a rich man. Even if you are willing and don't covet his money, outsiders will say the same thing. I still have no place for my old face!"

"Tell me, Dad, which one is more important, your face, or your daughter's lifelong happiness? I really don't like Shihao. If you ask me to marry him, aren't you going to destroy me?"

Yes, this week Dalin is versatile and really lovable. No wonder my daughter likes him.

However, he was married and was eleven years older than Xiaoxiao. That was fine. Anyway, my daughter liked him, he was also a good person, and it was okay.

However, he shouldn't be rich. What should others say if you have money? Don't you still have to say that I, Lao Cheng, sold his daughter?

However, he has no money and is already over thirty and is still a pauper. He will not sell his daughter. Wouldn’t it be even more outrageous for his daughter to marry an old pauper man?
