Chapter 554 There Must Be Something Wrong
The neighbor next door has a baby girl who is about the size of a steamed dumpling, and she can already speak a few simple words to adults clearly. The baby girl's grandmother had a blush with Gu's mother when she was young, and she saw that the Gu family's development is better than hers. , I always love to gossip behind my back, this time I seized the opportunity to feel elated, and ran from house to house with my baby girl in my arms all day long, comparing it with steamed buns at every turn:

"Our daughter-in-law is smart. She can call dad and mom in less than eight months, and she can speak a few words now. It's not like the grandson of the Gu family, who won't even call dad when he's almost one year old..."

Mother Gu was so angry that she was about to rush over to chop with a kitchen knife.Damn Xiaolongbao is good for nine months at best, there is a limit to exaggeration!
Gu Xu was also very angry, and disturbed the business of the girl's father the next day, and then his ears were quiet for a few days.

Today, I suddenly heard Xiao Long Bao speak simple sentences, Gu Xu and his wife couldn't be happier.

"Baobao is so smart! Come on, tell mom, is this fruit delicious? Do you want to eat it? If you want to eat, mom will cut it for you." Zhou Yuele was the first to get the moon near the water tower, and sat next to He Wei excitedly, holding it in her hand An apple to lure his son to talk.

Gu Xu picked up a chair and sat next to He Wei, smiling and looking at his son: "Son, let's not care about Guoguo, let's call Dad to listen, you haven't called me Dad yet, I am Dad, Dad— -dad--"

He Qingdong couldn't stand it anymore, lifted the collar of Xiao Long Bao, let him sit on his lap, pointed at He Wei and asked him to call: "Auntie."

Xiaolongbao looked up at He Qingdong, then at He Wei on the opposite side, grinning with six front teeth showing, clapping his little hands: "Smile."

"Don't bring such ones!" Boss Gu jumped, and his son would call him aunt but not dad, what a shame!Quickly snatched his son and coaxed him to call him dad.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuele shook her shoulders and smiled and said to He Wei: "He has taught him several times, Baobao just ignores him, and when he is in a hurry, he makes a bu sound, and his face is covered with saliva, hahaha..."

Is this my mother?No, is this your real wife?
Gu Xu glared at his wife resentfully: "You can't save me some face."

Zhou Yuele waved her hands disapprovingly: "Weiwei and the others are talking about face."

"Face, good time, bad time." Xiao Long Bao popped out a few soft and childish words at the right time.

Everyone laughed, even Gu Xu couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, he bald his son's head, he was really defeated by this little guy.

In order to celebrate Xiaolongbao's ability to talk, Gu Xu decided to take his wife and children to the micro farm for a day.

This decision was not only puzzled by He Wei, but even Zhou Yuele did not understand, "Why do you go so far to the farm for celebration? Isn't it good to book a box at the Zhenwei Restaurant?"

Gu Xu said: "Isn't it the persimmons and dates that inspired our son to talk? Of course, we have to thank you in person. When you go to the temple to pray to the Bodhisattva, do you have to fulfill your vow afterwards? There is a reason!"

"What's the point?" Zhou Yuele didn't know whether to laugh or cry.But now that the son can talk, everyone is happy, so where to celebrate is not a problem.

When I turned around and told my family, they all applauded.

So, taking advantage of the relatively cool weather at the end of August, a group of people set off for Micro Farm.

Just in time, Mr. He called out to hold a few tables of kinship wine for Lao Wei, so they got together to do it.

Old Wei was once Zhao Xuezhang's subordinate. Others don't need to shout, but Zhao Xuezhang must come.As soon as Zhao Xuezhang came, a group of young people from the Special Task Force who hadn't been on a mission also ran over to join in the fun.They all want to see what their daughter-in-law of Team He looks like, how can she subdue the cold-faced god.

With so many people, there would definitely be no room for them to sit in the big kitchen. Outside the house, the grain drying yard is big enough, but there are not enough tables, chairs and benches. In the end, He Songbei's wish was simply fulfilled—a group barbecue meeting, or BBQ for short.

Large and small briquette stoves are burning.

There are a stack of steamers on the big stove, steaming all kinds of Cantonese dim sum brought by Lao Feng on the first floor, steaming sweet potatoes, potatoes, taro, corn and other coarse grains produced by the farm on the second floor, and steamed cakes and nests made by Aunt Yang on the bottom. Wotou, in short, we will never be hungry.

Cook crayfish in a frying pan on a smaller stove.Considering that not everyone knows how to eat spicy food, I first fried a pot of non-spicy spicy shrimp, put it in a spare stew pot when it was cooked, added oil to the hot pot, and then added a pot of classic spicy crayfish, the air was filled immediately Spicy aroma.

A charcoal grill is set up not far from the stove. As long as it can be grilled and eaten, it doesn’t matter if it runs on the mountain, jumps on the ground, swims in the water, or grows in the soil, wash it all, wash it, and cut it. Well, those that need to be marinated, such as poultry, must first be marinated in large stainless steel dinner plates, and those that do not need to be marinated, such as vegetables and fruits, should be washed, broken or cut into slices that are convenient for grilling. Put them in clean bamboo baskets, string them up with bamboo sticks in batches, and sprinkle some pepper, cumin, chili powder and the like when eating.

In the southeast corner of the grain drying field, a bonfire was set up, on which a three-legged steel frame was used to support a large shallow stainless steel dinner plate, on which were two large grass carp with their backs cut open.The grass carp is marinated and sprinkled with sesame oil, grilled on both sides of the grill, until both sides are browned and crispy, then put it on the dinner plate and stew it on the fire. , as well as sliced ​​cucumbers, radishes, lotus root slices, tomatoes, mushrooms and other condiments, as the soup boils, it is not an exaggeration to say that the fragrance will float for miles.

On the concrete floor next to the campfire, there are a few marinated fat chickens stuffed with white scallions and mushrooms in the white porcelain basin with a foot basin.

In addition to barbecue, Aunt Yang also prepared other small dishes. When the guests were almost here, she asked someone to lift the long dining table in the big kitchen outside, and put out cold dishes suitable for barbecue, such as seasonal stewed peanuts, patted cucumbers, Fried eggplant boxes, dried shredded coriander, sweet and sour radish, chicken feet with pickled peppers, sugared tomatoes, vinegared cabbage, tiger skin eggs, smoked fish slices, dried salted fish, etc., are placed on a large table.

In addition to rice wine and cold beer, there is also a pot of mung bean and lily soup that has been cooked and chilled in advance, which is most suitable for eating with barbecue.Of course, for those who don’t like to drink alcohol or mung bean soup, herbal tea is enough.

The staff on the farm, except Aunt Yang and the veterans who were with Lao Wei, helped arrange the household items needed for BBQ, washed the vegetables, marinated the meat, and went back to their dormitories to rest.

Guests need to do the skewering and grilling by themselves, otherwise it’s still called BBQ if they just eat and don’t do anything.

He Wei's task is to take care of the steamed buns.Oh, yes, I have to watch the old man so that he doesn't steal the wine.Oops.

As the sky darkened and there were more mosquitoes, it was inevitable that the white and fat dumplings would be bitten by mosquitoes. He Wei added a small mosquito repellent sachet on the back of his clothes, and hung a small mosquito sachet in his exclusive stroller. The little doll stuffed with a lavender sachet, and then put down the gauze curtain to block mosquitoes. With the triple mosquito-proof coup, He Wei confidently pushed him around the sun-drying field. Put insect-repelling green plants, and add a handful of dried wormwood to the bonfire.The incense emitted by the burning wormwood is particularly effective in repelling insects.

After finishing this matter, He Wei washed her hands, and turned around to find that Xiao Baozi had torn off the gauze screen to keep out mosquitoes, and was waving his chubby arms as round as lotus roots, begging her to hug her "auntie".

He Wei had no choice but to hug the little bun, took his special eating tool, and prepared to feed him some mashed potatoes and carrot juice.

She asked Aunt Yang to help cook the carrot juice. Dice the carrots and boil them in a soup pot until the carrots softened. The decanted soup was cooled and then poured into a baby bottle as water for the steamed buns.

"Do you want to drink Bao Bao?" He Wei asked Xiao Baozi while shaking the baby bottle containing carrot juice.

"Drink, drink." Bao Bao went straight to the bottle in her hand.

He Wei almost couldn't hug him, "Don't worry, Auntie will find a place to sit down and feed you. There is also delicious mashed potatoes, wait a little longer."

He Wei was about to carry her bag to the dining table to feed. There were several log benches there, and they were close to the table, so there was room for her to put her things down.I don't want to see two old people drinking secretly.One of them was Mr. He who didn't explain, and the other was the great-grandpa of Xiaolongbao.

The wine was 52-degree Wuliangye secretly brought by Mr. He from home.

"What do you think it's okay to drink a little wine at our age, what are the three highs and four highs, old man, I am in good health! I only want to drink if I am told all day long not to drink this, not to drink that, or not to drink anything Three highs."

"That's right, drink some wine and control things, but don't drink theirs..."

He Wei couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, and advised them not to drink. They were complaining that their children and grandchildren would not be given alcohol, and life was boring, but let them drink, and worried about their health, and finally went over to persuade them. Sentence: "Grandpa, I'm so happy today. It's fun to drink some wine in moderation, but drinking too much alcohol is harmful to your health. Just drink enough from the bowl, don't add more."

The two old men were caught, and their old faces were ashamed.

One cleared his voice and said, "Then don't tell Ah Qing." Mr. He is most afraid of his grandson's stern face.

Another took over the white, fat and lovely great-grandson, fed him a few spoonfuls of mashed potatoes that He Wei crushed with a spoon and added some tomato juice, and fed him 40ml of carrot juice to see that the baby great-grandson was full , stopped and changed the topic and asked: "I just heard Zhao Xuezhang tell Ah Qing about returning to the team after recovering from injury, what's wrong? Ah Qing is going back to the Special Task Force? Didn't you say you're leaving?"

Mr. He paused for a moment, with a strange expression on his face: "It's a retreat. The handover will be done in June. There's no reason to go back."

After the two finished speaking, they looked at He Wei in unison, as if she must know.

He Wei blinked: "Brother He didn't tell me that he was going back to the Special Task Force."

"I didn't say it doesn't mean I won't go. The guy surnamed Zhao is very cunning. He always competes with us for talents, but every time he is so fast, if it wasn't this time... hey girl, go to A Qing and ask, It's too late to guarantee that he will be abducted by someone surnamed Zhao..."

"That's right, Ah Qing has suffered such a serious injury, no matter what, he can't go back to the special team, Weiwei, you should hurry up and ask what's going on."

He Wei had no choice but to find someone to verify the situation of returning to the team with the steamed buns in her arms.

The two old men looked at each other with a sneaky smile, quickly took out the Wuliangye hidden under the table, filled each other's soup bowls, and finished half of the glass in one gulp: "Good wine!"

In that room, He Qingdong was indeed with Zhao Xuezhang, one was squatting on the stone pier under the willow tree, lazily playing with the willow in his hand; It is very obvious.

"You still have courage!" Zhao Xuezhang smoked a cigarette, twisted the end of the cigarette and said with emotion, "If I were your age, I would definitely choose a villa. In the villa of Taohuayuan, how many people have sharpened their heads to get a share of the pie, you are better , I gave up after a few words. Tsk! Are you sure you have discussed it with your little wife? Don’t I cross your quota off at that time, and you say you regretted it?"

"No." He Qingdong shook the wicker in his hand, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, "It was Weiwei who said no."

"How is it possible!" Zhao Xuezhang had a ghostly expression on his face, and felt that his voice was a little louder, attracting the attention of all parties, so he quickly lowered his voice a few times, leaned closer and asked, "Did you hear it wrong?"

He Qingdong glanced at him angrily: "Do you think I heard wrong?"

"It doesn't make sense."

Zhao Xuezhang still didn't quite believe it.Like his mother-in-law, knowing that half of his conditions are eligible to apply for Taohuayuan Villa (it’s too simple after a certain number of years), she urged him to find a way to earn first-class merit, so that the whole family can spend no money. Money to live in the Taohuayuan villa worth tens of millions.

Zhao Xuezhang was annoyed at the time, women have long hair but short knowledge, so it is so easy to get first-class merit?There are so many staff members in Wei'an, how many people meet this requirement?And basically they all come from the Special Task Force, what does this mean?The first-class honor is a medal won with blood and life.

Not much to say, just give the wife two options: [-], I will transfer to the Special Task Force, earn first-class merit with all my might and come back, and leave it alone if you are disabled or dead; [-], be your wife honestly, don’t mess around Think about things that don't belong to you.

His wife was so frightened that she cried a lot, but she didn't mention the Taohuayuan Villa anymore.

That's why Zhao Xuezhang couldn't believe it.Looking at the rare obtrusive smile of his capable subordinates, Zhao Xuezhang felt that something must have gone wrong.

"Is there any woman who doesn't like houses? Especially the villas, the villas in Taohuayuan, are you sure you have explained it clearly to her? Have you taken her to see it? If you look at it and say you don't like it, I will pay for it today! "

Speaking of this, Zhao Xuezhang saw the contemptuous eyes cast by his capable subordinates, and jumped up and said, "Hey, what's your expression? I know it's all produced on your farm. It didn't cost you a penny, but it can be settled at the market price. , I can still depend on you... You just say you dare to bet, take your little wife to Taohuayuan Villa for a walk, and see what she says."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Zhao Xuezhang saw He Wei who was walking towards this side with a sharp eye, and hurriedly waved, "Hey, Xiaohe, come here." Someone didn't tell the truth, so he asked the deity, hum.
