Chapter 2083: Getting Worse
Not only did she dig out the memory buried in her memory, but her mouth watered just thinking about the smell of pickled ginger.
"You want to eat pickled ginger?" Qiao Dongliang was surprised.
"Well, is it troublesome to make this? Why don't you tell me how to make it and I can try it myself?" Sincerely, ever since I remembered the taste of pickled ginger, Qiao Nan felt uninterested in anything she ate, especially spicy food. It lacks the acidity of pickled ginger, it is extremely sour and not as spicy as pickled ginger. The wonderful combination of spicy and sour is only reflected in the pickled ginger.
In this life, before she got pregnant, Qiao Nan never thought that she would be the kind of person who would become possessed just because she wanted to eat. But in fact, since she had this idea, she has been dreaming about the taste she experienced when she took her first bite of pickled ginger when she was five years old in the Qiao family.
Confirming that his daughter really needs him, Qiao Dongliang straightened his back: "Sure, I'll tell you how to do it. Can you ask Zhai Sheng to write it down for you?" With that said, Qiao Dongliang decided that tomorrow Early in the morning, he would personally go to the market to select a dozen pounds of old ginger that was most suitable for making pickled ginger.
What you say and do to others are completely different things. Qiao Dongliang is worried that the person who makes pickled ginger in the Zhai family does not have his own skills.
To be honest, the method of pickling ginger is unique to Qiao’s family. Not to say original, but really unique. When Grandma Qiao was still alive, her family was poor, with little food and no vegetables. It happened that the ginger grown in the ground grew particularly well. The problem is, in an era when staple food is not enough, who’s family is willing to spend money on ginger, a cooking ingredient?
There was no way, we couldn't waste things, so Grandma Qiao made all the ginger into pickled ginger for her family to eat. It was also a habit developed at that time. Later, Grandma Qiao would pickle some ginger at home from time to time and eat it as a dish. For Qiao Dongliang, pickled ginger has become a childhood memory.
Of course, the Qiao family’s pickled ginger always comes with the Qiao family’s unique craftsmanship. Qiao Dongliang made these points very clear when he was on the phone, but he was afraid that when the Zhai family got started, they wouldn't be able to do it well. For this reason, Qiao Dongliang thought that the Zhai family should first make some unauthentic Qiao family pickled ginger, and let Qiao Nan eat it for a few days.
He also helped with the cooking. After the pickled ginger was ready, he found a courier to send it to Qiao Nan. Qiao Dongliang also knows that pickled ginger is cheap, but if it is delivered to the capital, the cost of express delivery will be several times, or even ten times, the cost of getting pickled ginger. But who makes Qiao Nan want to eat it? No matter how much money you spend, it is worth it.
Qiao Dongliang, who was going to be a grandpa, was almost the first person to enter the market besides the vegetable vendors early the next morning. He bought a bunch of ginger and even several packets of seasonings.
"Mom, Dad got up very early today, and he's been up all morning.
He had been in the kitchen, tinkering with what? "Qiao Zijin couldn't help but be curious, crowded around Ding Jiayi and asked: "It won't take a whole morning to cook, right? Mom, do you think that my dad is very excited today and is still humming a song? "
Over the past year or so, too many things have happened in the Qiao family. Qiao Zijin can't remember how long ago it was the last time she heard Qiao Dongliang hum: "Is there anything good at home?" Why? She heard nothing of it.
Ding Jiayi, who was watching TV, stepped aside: "It's a hot day, why are you sitting next to me? Sit by yourself." When she said this, Ding Jiayi didn't even take her eyes away from the TV. As for Qiao Zijin's question, Ding Jiayi's words did not solve the problem at all.
Since the topic of 100,000 yuan ended, Qiao Zijin thought that if Ding Jiayi was left alone for a while and Ding Jiayi was ignored for a while, Ding Jiayi would figure it out and not ask him for 100,000 yuan again. She didn't mention it again, but Qiao Zijin clearly felt that her mother seemed to be a lot colder towards her. Unlike before, as long as she appeared, her mother could only hold her in her eyes and heart. .
"Mom, are you still angry with me?" If possible, Qiao Zijin wouldn't want to take the initiative to mention the one hundred thousand yuan in front of Ding Jiayi. After all, until now, she had no intention of spending 100,000 yuan to save Ding Jiayi's so-called marriage. They are all in their seventies or eighties, and things like divorce are done by young people.
What's more, at this age, it doesn't make any difference whether her parents divorce or not, as her father said. Her mother was just nervous and worried.
Ding Jiayi chewed melon seeds and glanced at Qiao Zijin: "I'm angry with you. Why do I need to be angry with you?" Look, she didn't even dare to mention the words one hundred thousand yuan. Is this because she is worried that she wants it again?
"Mom..." Qiao Zijin shouted "Mom" in a long voice, and he was very coquettish and coquettish. There is no doubt that Ding Jiayi used to be the most susceptible to Qiao Zijin's tricks, but this is not the case now. Ding Jiayi said that this trick is no longer useful to her.
It worked before because Qiao Zijin made Ding Jiayi happy with a bunch of fictitious words of filial piety. Ding Jiayi thought that with Qiao Zijin as her daughter, she could live a life like an old lady. So no matter what Qiao Zijin said, Ding Jiayi agreed.
But today...
Ding Jiayi drank some water and moistened her throat: "I'm your mother. I've always known how to scream properly. If others heard it, they thought our house was haunted in broad daylight."
"Mom, why do you suddenly change your attitude towards me?" Ding Jiayi made a 180-degree turn, which Qiao Zijin could not accept. It was like a person who was obsessed with a madman before, suddenly sobered up and had a completely different attitude: "Mom, you were not like this before. In the past, you always considered me and thought about me. You would not give up anything that was good for me. You would not do anything that was not good for me. Mom, you have changed."
Became selfish, with only herself in her heart, and forgot about her daughter!
Last time she asked for 50,000 yuan, this time she asked for 100,000 yuan, what about the next time? Her mother's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and her mouth is getting bigger and bigger. What a large amount of money, her mother dares to ask her for. She only has more than 1.5 million yuan in total. At this rate, in less than three years, her mother will take it all.
Thinking of Qiao Nan's previous time in this family, Ding Jiayi only asked Qiao Nan for money every month, asking for 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Things change over time. When Ding Jiayi's mother asked for money, she was really desperate. She asked for 50,000 or 100,000 yuan! Is this considered exploiting her daughter? She's used to exploiting her, and it's getting worse!
