Chapter 970 Don't always eat big fish and meat?
But his marriage made Grandma Qin feel uncomfortable.
However, her eldest granddaughter's marriage wasn't much better, so she stopped interfering.
But judging from Ruixue's expression just now, there must be something wrong with those two.
Without a doubt, the problem lies with Xie Wenjie's ex-wife, who came to Beidu for medical treatment.
I heard that his ex-wife's mother also came. When she saw Xie Wenjie, she cried very sadly and kept calling him "son-in-law".
What could Xie Wenjie do about a weeping old woman?
Anyway, Grandma Qin was unhappy after hearing that.
But can she pull it off in this situation?
Definitely not.
She cheerfully let them in, and then they all sat on the sofa eating watermelon and chatting.
Qin Ruixue voluntarily went to the kitchen to help, but the food was already almost ready.
Aunt Qin is a good cook and quick-witted.
Grandma Qin said to Lu Qiaoge, "Qiaoge, I also called your second aunt and your youngest aunt. They'll be coming over soon. It's been a long time since we've all gotten together like this. Let's have a good time today."
Grandma Qin was also very happy.
She and her husband usually live alone, and sometimes she feels lonely and bored.
The second aunt that Grandma Qin mentioned is Lu Yun, and the youngest aunt is Qin Min.
The driver picked up Lu Yun, while Qin Min, Su Lei, and their daughter Su Yingying arrived by car on their own.
Qin Min is very beautiful, but also very arrogant.
Her arrogance wasn't feigned or put on; it came from her very being.
No one knows why she doesn't like Lu Qiaoge.
She reacted indifferently when we first met.
It's like... I don't mock you, I don't look down on you, but you're not in my eyes.
What good is being outstanding?
I just don't want to talk to you, but I definitely won't let you lose face.
Grandma Qin didn't know what to say about her daughter. She was completely baffled.
But she couldn't get involved in this matter, nor could she persuade anyone.
To be honest, given Lu Qiaoge's personality and way of handling things, trying to give her advice on how to get along with others is simply laughable and overestimating your own abilities.
Then, Qin Min's personality is also like that. She's been away for almost twenty years, and it's impossible to say that she's no different from her peers here; the differences are still quite significant.
Even Su Lei is the same.
However, with the old man there, Qin Min and Su Lei greeted and chatted with Lu Qiaoge's family politely and courteously.
Although it was a light atmosphere, the room didn't feel deserted because there were so many people inside.
This was the first time the Qin family had been so lively.
No matter how different their personalities are, they are all decent people. No one would embarrass someone in this situation or say anything unpleasant to upset them.
However, Qin Min and Su Lei were somewhat resistant to this kind of dinner.
The old man and woman's tastes are actually from the North. And the North has all kinds of cuisines, and of course, there are Western restaurants, but compared to the various restaurants, big and small, they are just an embellishment.
People still prefer to eat our own local specialties.
The same applies when hosting a dinner party; chicken, duck, fish, and meat are definitely the main focus.
Old Master Qin's bodyguard drove to a nearby store and bought four freshly roasted ducks. They were served in special restaurant tableware and looked just like they had been roasted.
Chicken stew with mushrooms, with mushrooms and glass noodles, was cooked in a big pot.
Nowadays, chicks are raised on grains and vegetable leaves.
There are no random ingredients in the glass noodles, and they smell especially delicious when stewed.
No special supplies are needed; you can buy it at the nearby farmers' market. The fish was also bought at the market—very fresh crucian carp. Then Aunt Qin made a soup; it was milky white and sprinkled with chopped cilantro. It smelled amazing.
Meat options include sweet and sour pork ribs and braised pork belly.
There were also other dishes, both meat and vegetables, spread out on a large table, as lavish as you could imagine.
The old man was delighted and cut open a bottle of wine that he had been treasuring for several years.
Of course, it's neither baijiu nor erguotou.
It's wine.
Since there were many people, we opened two bottles.
Because Bai Jinyan and his wife were both at the research institute's base, Aunt Qin sat next to Meng Xia.
Grandma Qin and Grandma Lu sat next to each other.
Qin Min sat next to Qin Ershen.
She turned to look at her husband sitting beside her, Su Lei, who had a gentle smile on his face but did not say anything.
Their eyes met briefly before they looked away.
The old man was a sharp and perceptive man. He glanced at Su Lei, frowned slightly without making a sound, then quickly relaxed and continued to cheerfully preside over the situation.
Qin Min couldn't help but say to Grandpa Qin, "Dad, you're not young anymore. These kinds of rich, meaty foods really aren't suitable for you. It's bad for your health. By the way, have you had your medical check-up these past few days? Shouldn't you go to a sanatorium for a while?"
She hadn't wanted to say it, but she just couldn't hold it in. She felt she was doing it for her father's health.
The smile on Old Master Qin's face faded.
But she said in a gentle voice, "When we were fighting and living a hard life, we always thought that once we won, life would be better, and we ordinary people would be able to eat fish and meat and have a celebration every day. How happy and wonderful that would be..."
Grandma Qin didn't want the old man to say too much.
She has a temper, and often doesn't think things through much; it wouldn't be good to make her in-laws laugh at her.
Then Grandma Lu laughed and said, "Because of the climate, our northerners tend to eat more heavy flavors. At this time of year, I absolutely have to eat rice wrapped in cabbage leaves, with egg sauce mixed in, and then chopped green onions inside. Oh my, one bite, and it's so delicious!"
Grandma Qin smiled and said, "Your description makes my mouth water. It's just that we don't have any suitable cabbage leaves, otherwise we could make cabbage rolls."
In this way, the topic was diverted.
Qin Min also felt a little regretful.
This occasion is different from other occasions. Although she has only spent a short time with her nephew, this is, after all, her nephew's in-laws' home.
Her words were ill-timed, which made her seem naive.
As for Lu Qiaoge, she didn't know why, but she just didn't like her when she saw her.
Perhaps the two of them are just naturally incompatible.
Fortunately, they didn't have much interaction; they were all doing their own thing.
However, she might be assigned to the Municipal Light Industry Bureau, which could still lead to some involvement.
But it must be admitted that her niece-in-law is quite formidable.
All she's heard these past few days has been praise and compliments.
Of course, this is her niece-in-law, and no one would speak ill of Lu Qiaoge in front of her.
So she said, "It's okay to eat it occasionally."
Old Master Qin frowned, really wanting to throw down his chopsticks.
What does this mean?
It means that we are so wealthy now that we are tired of eating too much meat and fish, and we shouldn't eat it anymore because it's bad for our health. We should eat some light and nutritious food, right?
You need to know what the current situation is in China.
Although development is rapid now and people's lives have improved, if you go to the countryside, how many families can afford to eat fish and meat every day?
Putting aside everything else, how many people have never eaten Peking duck since birth?
For many families, being able to eat dumplings during the Lunar New Year, with a pound of meat in the filling, is considered a good day!
