Chapter 494 Do You Want a Home?
Lu Mian was very sticky to Qi Zhen, and the whole family could see it.
Xiao Qimo just didn't tell everyone the truth.
The two women were busy in the kitchen, chatting a few words about food from time to time.
Qi Zhen found that his daughter-in-law was really amazing. Not only did she play the piano well, but she was also very proficient in cooking.
When she said which dish to cook, Lu Mian always handled the dishes properly and professionally in advance.
There are some techniques that only star chefs can understand.
Even Qi Zhen himself has studied recipes for many years, and has only achieved a little.
She looked at the girl beside her who was slowly wrapping the shrimp in batter, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
Xiao Qimo's way of chasing girls is very poor, but he has to say that his vision is really good.
Although they are not officially together yet, for the sake of bringing back such a good girl, she will temporarily let the stinky boy spend the New Year at home.
Xiao Qimo in the living room: Ahh!
After making some preliminary preparations, Qi Zhen began to prepare dumplings.
The dough is kneaded in advance by the servants and can be used directly. The stuffing of the family portrait is also marinated by Qi Zhen in the afternoon.
"Auntie, how do you prepare your dumpling fillings?" Lu Mian not only helped, but also humbly asked for advice.
Qi Zhen always felt that something was wrong, but looking at the girl's sincere and calm eyes, she couldn't say anything. She had no idea of hiding her secrets, and taught Lu Mian some tricks one by one.
Lu Mian also recorded it patiently.
Although the elder brother instructed her not to visit the boy's house casually, but this time she came to Xiao's mother, she learned too much!
After returning to Wucheng, she can also teach Yu Ren to improve the taste in the restaurant.
Xiao Qimo's mother is so nice!
——
It's New Year's Eve at night.
After Lu Mian helped Qi Zhen, she received a call from Lu Xi.
She walked out of the kitchen and went to the balcony to answer the phone.
Lu Xi's voice was a little dull, and he seemed to be drinking a little bit of wine, so it was a little vague.
"Mianmian?"
"Big brother?" Lu Mian asked in concern, "what's the matter with you?"
"The family is so deserted now..." Lu Xi sighed with emotion: "Your parents and your mother are not around, so there are only grandparents left at home, my parents and my mother. Grandparents said, if you have time, come back for the New Year... I know they regret it."
Lu Mian chuckled lightly.
With a bit of mockery.
Lu Xi burped.
"But what's the use of regret? What did you do earlier? So I told them that you have to train and you won't be able to come back." Lu Xi could understand Lu Mian's mockery, "I remember in the past, every New Year's Eve, you You have to be busy. This year, you finally don’t have to do this anymore. Mianmian, you must be happy and live happily.”
"elder brother……"
Lu Mian leaned on the balcony and glanced in the direction of the kitchen.
This year, she is still busy, but happily busy.
Once, she once thought that the New Year was the most troublesome thing, and that was when she was the busiest and most tired. There was no New Year atmosphere, only depression and contrast.
Now for her, in the Xiao family, she is willing to put on an apron, hold a knife and spoon, and prepare a delicious and warm dinner for the family.
This was a feeling I had never had before in the Lu family.
It's what she gave willingly.
"Brother, if you drink too much, go back and rest."
"Mianmian, don't hang up!" Lu Xi emphasized again, "Remember what my brother told you? You are a girl outside, but you must not go to a boy's house, especially Director Qi's house. ."
Lu Mian: Fortunately, she came for Xiao's mother.
"If a boy says something to you and wants to create a family with you, he is responsible for making money to support the family, and you are responsible for being beautiful... Ah bah, this is all a man's trick to coax little girls! After marriage, the pots and pans ladle It's you, it's you who feeds the baby, it's you who earns the money to support the family... When you're looking for a man, you must keep your eyes open..."
Lu Mian gave a "hmm", no one would say such a thing to her.
Lu Xi drank some wine and said a few words.
Lu Mian listened patiently until Xiao Qimo, separated by a few meters, shouted, "Mianmian, your parents are calling you to eat."
"it is good."
Lu Mian responded, "Brother, I'm going to eat first."
Lu Xi: ? ? ?
what did i hear! ! !
my little sister--
——
The Xiao family's New Year's Eve dinner is no different from the New Year's Eve dinner of ordinary people.
In addition to the luxury of the restaurant, the utensils used are more advanced, and their home is more of a firework atmosphere.
Before that, it was hard for Lu Mian to imagine that the Xiao family, the number one superpower in country Z, would look like this. The two elders love each other, and the family atmosphere is harmonious and beautiful.
Compared with the nervousness when she first arrived here, she seems to be slowly liking the fireworks here.
Qi Zhen introduced proudly: "This year's New Year's Eve dinner is very special. Mianmian helped me with this. Lao Xiao, Mianmian is much better than you!"
Xiao Huazun: Wife, am I just so out of favor?
Yun Sang raised her head and looked at Lu Mian with a complicated look again.
This girl...is there a lot?
Lu Mian smiled shyly.
Although Xiao Qimo was unhappy that Lu Mian went to help, he couldn't protect his food. Lu Mian paid for every dish, so this New Year's Eve dinner, he ate more than anyone else.
Yun Sang with a flat stomach: Nothing!
——
In the evening, Xiao Qimo sent Lu Mian back to his room to rest.
Qi Zhen couldn't stay up late, couldn't keep his age.
Lu Mian also had a busy day, and Xiao Qimo asked her to go to bed early.
Lu Mian stood at the door and waved his little hand, "Good night."
Xiao Qimo suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart. She, who was so well-behaved and gentle, stood here and said good night to him warmly.
"Mianmian."
The man slid his Adam's apple, feeling guilty and uneasy, and his heart was filled with dense emotions and warm itching.
Lu Mian looked up at him, and suddenly fell into a pair of hot eyes.
She was stunned, always feeling that he was a little dangerous like this, but also had a sense of familiarity. Just like Director Qi in her dream, it made her blush and heartbeat uncontrollably.
"Do you want a home?" he asked.
Lu Mian's heart contracted suddenly.
"A home that only belongs to two people." The man said softly: "It doesn't need to be very vigorous, just simple and smooth. The male host works diligently and earns money to support the family. If the hostess has her own career, you can let it go. Do, if not, she can do everything she likes. They may not talk much, or they may not be so attached to each other, but they can understand each other tacitly with just one look."
"Maybe, they will have a child in the future. If they don't want it, then get a dog, a cat, and a few plants they like. After dinner in the evening, they will light a favorite incense, male. The owner sits on the sofa reading magazines, while the mistress lies on his lap and reads novels. A cat and a dog are around, licking each other's fur."
