Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 145 Engagement Meal

Han Qingmei thought that today is also the day when her daughter and Song Ning are engaged, and Song Ning has just returned, so the two children should spend more time together.

She was about to ask Han Duyue to stay with Song Ning here, when Song Ning said with a smile: "Then I'll fight with the past, I've never been in the kitchen before."

"This...isn't that good?" Han Qingmei was a little dazed. Even in the countryside, few men were willing to cook in the kitchen, not to mention that Song Ning was the son of a real rich family.

On the other hand, Han Duyue looked at Song Ning with "Can you really do it? Are you sure you're not trying to hold me back?", which made Song Ning feel shocked.

"Xiaoyue, you don't think I'm too clumsy to help you, do you?" Song Ning said she was very hurt by this, and looked at Han Duyue with lovely and pitiful eyes.

Facing Song Ning like this, Han Duyue could only disarm and surrender: "How could I despise you, let's go, come and help me as much as you want."

"Xiaoyue, why are you messing around with me? How can you let him follow you..." Han Qingmei frowned, looking helplessly at the two people who once again ignored her existence.

Song Ning waved her hand, not shy at all, but rather excited: "Auntie, I really want to help, and I never force myself, so Auntie must not care about it. Besides, I was always curious before, it's so delicious It’s really an honor for me to have a look at how the food is made today.”

"Mother, let him come if he wants to. I won't abuse him, so don't worry." Han Duyue also spoke on the sidelines.

This is the end of the conversation, what else can Han Qingmei say?She could only cover her chest and nod silently, forget it, she was already old and couldn't understand the style of these children, so let them go.

When they came to the kitchen, Han Duyue first enthusiastically introduced the general layout inside, and then began to assign tasks to Song Ning: "You are responsible for watching from the side later, and you must not act rashly."

"Responsible to watch from the side? Is there nothing I can do?" Song Ning had a black line hanging on his forehead. Does he look so useless?

Han Duyue raised her eyebrows and asked back, "Can you light a fire? Can you chop vegetables? Can you wash rice? Can you cook vegetables?"

"No," Song Ning could only shake her head, this is his first time entering the kitchen, okay?Don't be so demanding, okay? "But I can learn, you can teach me slowly."

Han Duyue thought for a while, since he wanted to experience life so much, he couldn't continue to refuse: "Then you come to light the fire, knowing you are here, I guess my mother and Aunt Wu would not dare to come here."

"Okay." Song Ning nodded vigorously, and sat in front of the pot door, "What should I do next?"

Seeing Song Ning's tall and straight figure shrinking in such an environment, Han Duyue couldn't help but "puchi" smile, she first helped Song Ning light the fire, and then told him how to add firewood, and then went Busy about your own business.

Add water, wash rice, add sweet potatoes, then cover the pot, and then turn around to wash and chop vegetables. While busy, she asked Song Ning: "Do you have any favorite dishes? Our family has a full range of dishes. Maybe it can be done."

"As long as it's made by you, I like to eat it." Song Ning added firewood to the bottom of the pot, and looked at Han Duyue's busy figure with bright eyes.

This kind of dialogue made him feel extremely novel and warm. He had never felt such a short-lived parental feeling, and it turned out to be unprecedentedly wonderful.

Just looking at Han Duyue's busy figure, Song Ning already wanted to let out a sigh of satisfaction.

Han Duyue glanced back at Song Ning, then went to check whether his posture of burning the fire was correct, and finally said with certainty: "I didn't expect you to be quite talented in this area. You burned well, keep working hard."

"Thank you Miss Han for your praise, I will do my best." Song Ning held up a piece of firewood and thanked her solemnly, which directly made Han Duyue laugh.

It seemed that everything would become very simple with someone accompanying her. Han Duyue quickly prepared all the dishes to be used, and was about to start steaming steamed buns when Han Qingmei walked in.

"Mother, just rest over there, I can be busy here." Han Duyue thought that Han Qingmei was coming to help.

Han Qingmei glanced at Song Ning who was in front of the pot door, the corners of her brows twitched, and she subconsciously looked away: "I'm here to remind you, don't make steamed buns today, mother will make pancakes for you later." eat."

"Why?" Han Duyue was puzzled.

"Today you are engaged, it is unlucky to eat something gassy, ​​don't make steamed buns, you know?" Han Qingmei emphasized.

Han Duyue was a little speechless. If you want to say that gas is not good, don't pancakes not gas?But everything that is hot will steam, okay?

But since the mother said so, she had no choice but to obey: "I know, I'll make some more scallion pancakes and finger pancakes later, you go and rest."

"That's fine, that mother will go out first." After speaking, Han Qingmei silently glanced at Song Ning who was still sitting in front of the pot door, turned and left silently.

Sensing Han Qingmei's gaze, Song Ning silently hung three black threads on her forehead. Is it really so disharmonious that he is sitting here?
When the two worked together to prepare lunch, Li Hao and the two children had already arrived. Han Duyue and Song Ning washed their hands together and greeted them: "Uncle Li is here, hurry up and serve, the food is ready gone."

Han Duyue was originally worried that Li Hao would feel embarrassed in an environment like her own where there are many women and few men. Who knows that she completely underestimated this person. Greeting others: "You all sit down and eat, too, I will disturb you a lot in the future."

"Li Zheng is too polite, and you need to bother to teach the two children." Han Qingmei continued to say polite words.

Li Hao glanced around, and finally landed on Song Ning, and asked with a hint of doubt: "I wonder who this young master is?"

"This is Xiaoyue's...fiancé named Song Ning." Han Qingmei thought about it, and finally chose this title.

As soon as these words came out, Han Duyue and Song Ning couldn't help but looked at each other, a strange excitement and satisfaction filled their hearts at the same time, and they would be a legitimate couple in the future.

Li Hao's eyes widened immediately, and he asked a little out of composure: "What's the matter? Why didn't I hear that Xiaoyue has already engaged in a marriage?"

"It's because of today's matter that they got married, and today's meal can be regarded as an engagement banquet." Han Qingmei also felt a little embarrassed, but the content of her embarrassment was because the process of getting married was too simple .

Song Ning sat aside and smiled slightly: "This junior has met Li Zheng."

"Oh, okay, it's really a coincidence that I had Xiaoyue's engagement banquet by accident." Li Hao nodded towards Han Duyue, and his eyes were secretly observing Song Ning. He doesn't look like a child from an ordinary family, but judging from his demeanor and behavior, he doesn't have the arrogance and aloofness of a rich family at all.

Han Duyue brought out all the food, and the family started eating. Although it was an engagement banquet, since there were almost no outsiders, it was very casual, but to celebrate, she went to a small jar of wine Come here to celebrate.

Seeing that wine, Li Hao was shocked again: "Is this wine the fruit wine sold in Shuiyuelou?"

"Yes." Han Duyue poured a glass of wine for each of the adults who could drink.

Li Hao picked up the wine glass and took a few deep sniffs, showing exaggerated intoxication on his face: "I heard about this before, but I heard that the fruit wine is expensive, but it is very rare and hard to buy. I didn't expect your family to buy it. There are quite a few."

Han Duyue and Song Ning looked at each other, a little hesitant to tell Li Hao that the wine was actually brewed by them.

"Since Lizheng likes this wine, why not drink a few more glasses." Song Ning picked up the wine glass, as if treating herself as a half master.

Li Hao didn't drink the wine directly, but tasted it carefully, and praised: "The taste of this wine is really novel, it's a bit like wine, but it doesn't have any other flavors in it."

"Don't be in a hurry to drink, let's try the dishes. The dishes are all made by Xiaoyue herself, and the taste is no worse than those in restaurants." Han Duyue beside her had an expression of "You see how much I can praise you, and you should praise me too".

Han Duyue couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and gave Song Ning a piece of scrambled eggs with green peppers: "You should eat more, too."

Over there, Li Hao tasted a few mouthfuls of the dishes, and couldn't help but praise: "This dish is really made by Xiaoyue. It tastes really good? It seems that I will be lucky in the future."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Song Ning again: "Don't call me Li Zheng, since you are already engaged to Xiaoyue, just like her, call me 'Uncle Li'."

"That's fine, Uncle Li eats more vegetables, and this cake is also made by Xiaoyue." Song Ning nodded obediently, without any feeling of coyness.

With the two men Li Hao and Song Ning around, the others seemed to be a foil. The two of them seemed to have developed feelings for each other while chatting, and they kept talking throughout the meal.

Han Duyue said that she was powerless, but she was also happy to bury her head in the meal. Today is a good day for her engagement, and she has to eat well no matter what.

After the meal, everyone sat down and drank a cup of tea, chatted for a while, and then Li Hao took Xiaonian and Xiaolin to study again.

Han Qingmei didn't ask Han Duyue to clean up the dishes, and immediately drove the two of them out: "You two go out for a walk, treat it as a way to digest food."

Han Duyue had no objection to this, and dragged Song Ning out the door. The two walked along the path in front of the house, and then came to a familiar place.

"Do you still remember this place?" Song Ning took Han Duyue's hand and smiled.

Of course Han Duyue remembered, this was the place where Song Ning once confessed to her.
