Chapter 331 The White Moonlight of the Surgeon General (34)
Xu Yin didn’t know that she had unintentionally revealed her magical power and eliminated a farce that might have happened.
After meeting her parents for dinner, she was dragged to the mall by Gu Xijin to buy new year's goods.
This is the first time that Gu’s mother has seen her son so keen on shopping.
In the past, let alone helping his family buy New Year’s goods, he even bought his own clothes from online brand stores as if they were wholesale of ten or twenty pieces.
Ask him to go to the street and look at other styles, not just the same shirt. What does he mean?
—“It’s the most stupid thing to waste time shopping in the street!”
Ah!
Mother Gu wanted to throw these words in her son's face, so she asked him if his face hurt.
With complicated emotions, Gu’s mother returned home.
Father Gu was unpacking the tea leaves given by Xu Yin. As soon as he opened the package, he said: "Hey! This tea is really good! It's more fragrant than the Mingqian tea I asked someone to buy. I just don't know how it tastes when brewed... Wife, do you want it?" Want a drink?"
"don't want!"
Gu Mu was sitting alone and sulking.
"You really don't want it? It's great! Don't you like tea? Yinyin gave us two cans, one for you and one for me?"
“I said no!”
“Then, it’s all mine! I’ll take a can with me to the unit.”
Father Gu happily brewed a pot and squinted his eyes with satisfaction, "It's fragrant! This is called the lingering fragrance of tea! Lao Hu and his gang drank tea worth tens of thousands of yuan per catty, but when they smelled it, it wasn't as fragrant as before, and they turned around greedily. Greedy for them."
How can it not be fragrant? The top-quality tea grown by Xu Yin in her previous small world would be something she would be reluctant to give away to most people.
Mother Gu smelled the aroma of tea, shrugged her nose unconsciously, and glanced at her husband.
In the end, Father Gu closed his eyes and was enjoying himself, and did not receive the surrendering gaze of his wife.
Mother Gu snorted in anger and threw a pillow over.
“Pour me a drink!”
Father Gu grabbed the pillow and said happily: "Are you hungry?"
“Who’s hungry? I’m just thirsty, and the food for lunch is too strong. Who ordered it?”
She thought it was Xu Yin who ordered it and deliberately complained.
Father Gu poured tea for her and said, "Son. I listened for a while, and it seems that Yin Yin asked him to order something you like to eat. The eight-treasure duck and soft-shell turtle stewed chicken are not your favorites? Son, especially I ordered it for you, why do you think it’s too strong?”
…”
Mother Gu remained silent. Of course, the main reason was that she was captured by the cup of tea in her hand.
Father Gu took a sip and asked her: "How was it? Is it more fragrant than a top-quality Longjing? The aftertaste is a little sweet, as if it was brewed with the clearest mountain spring water..."
Mother Gu drank a glass of wine quietly and spread her hands: "Bring it here!"
“What?” Gu’s father didn’t know why.
“Tea! Don’t you have two cans?”
“…” Father Gu touched his nose, “Don’t you want it? I plan to take a can to the work.”
“Bring it!”
"Okay, okay, okay." Father Gu gave her a can in a good-natured manner.
As a result, the other jar was also taken away by my daughter-in-law.
Father Gu was stunned: "Hey - this jar belongs to me. Yinyin gave us two jars, shouldn't each of us have one jar?"
Mother Gu ignored her.
Collect the tea leaves, put one can in the bag, take it to work tomorrow to drink, and hide the other can in the locker.
“One cup a day, no more drinks! No units allowed!”
“Why can’t you take me with you?” Father Gu muttered.
Mother Gu didn’t hear it.
Father Gu had no choice but to hold the pot of tea he had just brewed and drink it slowly, taking one sip and one sip less!
In the evening, Gu Xijin took her girlfriend to her home and brought back a bunch of new year's goods.
Father Gu stood up from the sofa.
Mother Gu heard the noise and came out of the kitchen with a spatula in hand. When she saw it was the young couple, her body froze, not knowing how to react. "Mom and Dad, these are new clothes that Umbro bought for you. Try them to see if they fit. If they don't fit, go and change them. Here is the receipt. These are New Year's goods for the family. I will send her home first."
“Hey, wait a minute!” Gu’s mother subconsciously stopped him, “You’re already here, let’s have dinner before leaving.”
"Yes, yes!" Father Gu greeted enthusiastically, "Yinyin, come here, what are you doing standing here? Sit down and chat. Xi Xi's mother and I were drinking the tea you gave us. Where did you buy this tea? It’s so delicious! Isn’t it expensive to specify?”
Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "Last year I went to the tea mountain and followed the tea farmers to pick some and roasted it myself."
She really roasted these tea leaves herself.
After learning how to fry tea, you realize that both technique and heat are very important.
The strength and skill when frying tea are related to the beauty of the tea leaves.
The heat is to kill the greens. If you kill it older, the taste will be more fragrant, but at the same time the soup will not be so pretty. If you kill it tenderly, the soup will be greener. Therefore, mastering the heat is the magic weapon for the fragrance of tea and clear soup.
Father Gu nodded while listening: "I didn't expect that you have such a wide range of interests, and you can even fry tea leaves."
Mother Gu called her son into the kitchen, and while busy with dinner, she asked, "Did you really buy the New Year's goods?"
Gu Xijin washed his hands and said, "No, Umbro bought it."
Mother Gu snorted, she knew it! If her son could think of this, he would no longer be her son.
"Umbro originally wanted to buy materials to make clothes for you and dad. She is good at craftsmanship, but it is rare for her to have a vacation. I didn't want her to be so tired, so I bought ready-made clothes for you two. But she has good taste and the styles she picked are better than what you bought yourself. nice."
Mother Gu: “…”
She doesn’t want this son anymore, whoever wants it will take it away!
“Eh? You said she can make clothes? She bought cloth and cut and sewed it herself?”
“Well, she made my black shirt. Haven’t you always complimented it on how beautiful it is?”
Mother Gu: “…”
Looked at his son with complicated eyes: "Did you do it on purpose?"
"Huh?" Gu Xijin raised her eyebrows, "What's your intention?"
Mother Gu waved her hands: "Forget it! Since you like her and she also likes you, what else can I say?"
Gu Xijin raised her eyes and looked over, and asked slowly: "Mom, do you mean that you didn't agree with Umbro and me being together?"
…” I really can’t have this son!
Mother Gu snorted: "I didn't say that."
Gu Xijin suddenly smiled, walked to Gu's mother, and hugged her:
"What are you worried about? Are you worried that I will forget my mother when I have a daughter-in-law? Why don't you think about it from another angle? Your son has a daughter-in-law, which means you have an extra daughter. Look. Before your daughter-in-law comes in, you and your father are drinking She roasted the tea leaves herself, and she was also thinking about making winter clothes for you and dad. I only got a shirt now, and it took me a long time to coax the chrysanthemum tea. In this comparison, you and dad are making a lot of money, and I That’s the biggest loss.”
…”
Mother Gu was angry and funny, waving the spatula and wanting to hit him: "You brat! Can you compare like this? Huh? You earned your wife?"
However, after her son’s enlightenment, the remaining entanglements in Gu’s mother’s mind were completely dissipated.
The four people had a very happy meal.
After dinner, Gu Xijin sent his girlfriend home.
Father Gu returned to the room and saw his wife trying on new clothes bought by her son's partner in front of the mirror.
“Yo! Are you wearing new clothes that honor your daughter-in-law? What a blessing.”
Mother Gu gave him a white look: "You don't want it, right? Then I'll go back tomorrow!"
“I was just joking! Seriously, my son is really good at finding a partner! He must be better than the one recommended by your colleagues at work, right?”
Mother Gu snorted and murmured in a low voice: "It goes without saying! Whose daughter can make clothes by hand these days? Fry tea leaves by hand?"
Father Gu pretended not to hear, and the hand he was reading while holding the newspaper was shaking like Parkinson's because he was suppressing laughter.
Mother Gu glared at him through the mirror: "Damn old man! Don't think I don't know you are snickering!"
“Pfft hahaha... I can’t hold it in anymore! I used to think that you women’s family looks the same every day, but now it seems that it’s more than just one day, it looks the same in the morning, noon and evening!”
“…You don’t want to live anymore, do you! The clothes are confiscated, I will take them back tomorrow!”
“No, no, no, no! My daughter-in-law, you can’t return the clothes! I still have to wear them to show off to Lao Hu at work! Look how filial our unmarried daughter-in-law is! Let them be jealous.”
Mother Gu couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
That's exactly what she meant.
