Chapter 15: New Year's Eve

After a while, Xu Shan changed into another set of home clothes. The colors and styles were exactly the same as those of Xu Yingying. If they hadn't had the same head shapes, the two sisters would stand together and it would be hard to tell who is who. .
It should be the Chinese New Year, the heating is particularly good, so the temperature in the room is relatively high, Li Yifei is a little hot wearing this suit.
"Brother-in-law, aren't you hot?" Xu Shanshan sat cross-legged on the sofa, picked a grape and threw it in her mouth, looking at Li Yifei and asked.
"It's okay." Li Yifei answered casually, but really wanted to change his clothes. This suit really made him uncomfortable.
At this time Xu Yingying's mother walked out of the kitchen and said, "Yingying, didn't you buy clothes for Yifei?"
"I bought it." Xu Yingying replied with confidence.
"Then quickly let Yifei put it on, you see if Yifei is sweating."
Xu Yingying let out a cry, and said to Li Yifei, "Go and change your clothes. No one at home said you." It was really like a couple's words.
Li Yifei agreed and hurried into the bedroom, putting on the newly bought pajamas, while the old clothes were thrown on the bed.
After putting on this suit, Li Yifei was immediately refreshed. What he dislikes most in his life is wearing a suit. He feels that the suit is too dull and uncomfortable to do anything. This time he would not wear it if it were not for Xu Yingying's request. Suits.
After coming out, Li Yifei went directly to the kitchen and said, "Uncle and Auntie, do you want to do something with me?"
Xu Zhenguo said immediately: "No, you can just watch TV and wait for dinner."
Xu Yingying's mother said at this moment: "Yifei, you can also cook?"
Li Yifei smiled and said: "Yes, when I am with Yingying, I cook."
"Hehe, let you show your hand, what do you want to do, I will give you a hand."
"No problem." Li Yifei immediately rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands and started cooking.
To say that Li Yifei’s cooking skills are not particularly good, but they can definitely be known. This is just a preference. Li Yifei has never been picky about other things, but he still has a little pursuit of food. After eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, he finally became obsessed with cooking by himself. As long as he had free time, he would buy the ingredients for cooking by himself. Over time, the craftsmanship of this cooking is really good.
Today, there is another place to use it. Li Yifei immediately began to show his skills. After taking over, the kitchen knives flew and the fire was burning. In less than an hour, the ingredients prepared by Xu Yingying's parents were turned into a rich table. lunch.
"Hey, brother-in-law, won't it? You did all these things?" Sitting at the table, Xu Shanshan sniffed her nose, put a piece of ribs in her mouth, and after two bites, she was surprised. Cried.
"How? Does it suit your appetite?" Li Yifei looked at Xu Shanshan with a smile. It was something that Li Yifei enjoyed very much when others commented on his dishes.
"It's delicious. Your sweet and sour pork ribs are much better than my mother's. They are sour and sweet, and the meat is soft and not greasy."
"You girl, why do you always like to eat what I make for so many years?" Xu Yingying's mother scolded with a smile.
"Didn't that taste better?" Xu Shanshan said, while tasting each dish one by one, complimenting every bite.
Xu Yingying’s mother was happiest at this time. She knew very well that Xu Yingying didn’t know how to cook such things. She wanted to train Xu Yingying before, but she gave up after doing it a few times instead of cooking. It's muddy, just put salt as sugar, it's useless to teach, and now my daughter has found a boyfriend who is still a good cook. Fortunately for her daughter.
Xu Yingying didn't expect Li Yifei to have these two things. He tried to taste two and she couldn't help but praised her secretly, but she still pretended to say, "Everyone eats it. I always eat it. Today you will all try Yifei's. craft."
However, after eating for a while, Xu Yingying's chopsticks moved faster. Li Yifei's cooking skills are really not good, and the dishes are really delicious.
"Sister, you eat your brother-in-law's food every day, don't grab it with me now."
"Who snatched it from you?" Xu Yingying stopped his chopsticks and said dissatisfiedly: "Can I be hungry?"
Li Yifei saw Xu Shanshan's mouth tilted upwards slightly, and a sly gaze flashed in his eyes, which made Li Yifei always feel that Xu Shanshan was seeing something.
Xu Zhenguo laughed and said: "Xiao Li, you are really versatile. A man can cook, that is, he can bend and stretch, and he can't do anything wrong in the future. Come, today Chinese New Year, everyone is happy, let me drink some more."
Xu Zhenguo had a good drink and didn't usually drink much, so no one stopped him. The two men just drank happily, while Xu Shanshan and Xu Yingying kept eating.
"Sister, I'll discuss something with you." After eating a half full, Xu Shanshan smiled and looked at Xu Yingying.
"what's up?"
"After you and brother-in-law get married, our family of five will live together."
"What are you doing?"
Xu Shanshan said triumphantly: "Will I be able to eat the dishes made by my brother-in-law every day."
Xu Yingying's mother smiled and said, "You kid, you won't have to marry in the future, even if your sister lives with us, can't you?"
"Why can't, even if I get married, then I have to live at home, when we all live together, that would be great."
"How can there be such a thing. Yifei has no father and no mother. Of course, he has to live with us. If you marry, you must live by yourself or live with your in-laws."
Xu Shanshan immediately said triumphantly: "Then I will find someone who has no father and no mother. If there are parents, I will not marry."
"Nonsense." Xu Yingying's mother laughed and cursed, but if she really encountered this, she would be happy to accept it. Although her daughters are older, she doesn't want them to leave her. Of course it's better.
This time Xu Zhenguo was not drunk, because Li Yifei's dishes were also very suitable for him. If he ate too much, he couldn't drink the wine.
After eating, Li Yifei wanted to help tidy up the table, but Xu Zhenguo forced Li Yifei away and said, "Such things should be left to Yingying and the others. Is this woman? You can't be too spoiled, if you don't have anything. Let them do it, they will not be able to find their place at home, and they do not know the responsibilities of the family, which is not good for marriage."
While drinking tea with Xu Zhenguo, they played a game of chess. They were all cleaned up there, and everyone sat in the living room.
"Yifei, when will you and Yingying get married?"
Just after saying a few words, Xu Yingying's mother asked a sharper question.
Li Yifei glanced at Xu Yingying and said with a smile: "Auntie, I'm afraid I will have to wait for two years. My career is still unsuccessful. If I marry Yingying, it will hinder Yingying's career, and I also feel a little inferior. "
Xu Yingying’s mother immediately said:
What is this? What is inferiority? I think you’re good. You can get inside and out. Although it’s not as good as Yingying to make money, it’s fine if you have one in the family who can make money. They are all career-oriented, and who will take care of that family? When the time comes, they will work outside every day, and those who go home and those who are away, and the house is deserted, are not good."
Xu Zhenguo immediately interrupted and said, "What you said is wrong. If Yingying is in charge and Xiao Li goes out to work, it will be fine. But now in Xiao Li, it hurts a man's self-esteem, and Yingying has a big temper. If you have a couple If you have a quarrel, if you talk about it again, there will definitely be problems."
Xu Yingying’s mother glared her eyes and said,
You’re all in the old almanac. What time is it now? You don’t have to have men working outside and women keeping the house at home. Look at our family Yingying, you let her At home, can she do it?"
Xu Zhenguo dissatisfied and said, "Do you understand that a man's self-esteem is very important?"
"Self-esteem, self-esteem, can you afford to eat? I think I don't give you self-esteem, and you haven't done anything to me."
This sentence immediately stopped Xu Zhenguo’s temper. Xu Yingying’s mother calmed her husband and said to Li Yifei with a smile:
Yifei, I don’t look down on you. You must understand the temper of our family. Personality is suitable for outsiders. If you start a business or something, then you will have to look after the outside world and your family. It must be too exhausting. So you are just getting married now. If you meet something suitable in the future, you two will work together again. Not bad."
Li Yifei still wanted to shirk, but Xu Yingying said in an interface: "Mom, then you have to give us some time, I promise you, will we get married this year?"
"Well, then I will go back to see the date and see when the time is right." Xu Yingying's mother immediately discussed with Xu Zhenguo who should look for this date.
