Xu Qizhen bought a present for her niece and hurried back to Xu's home.
Her parents and brothers and sisters watched her carefully.
Seeing that her complexion was much better than before, and her cheeks were a little bit fleshy, she was relieved.
In addition to the Xu family, several relatives and friends, Li Mei's classmates, her classmates' parents and Ruan Yanfeng came to the party.
"I was just in time." Ruan Yanfeng explained.
Xu Qizhen nodded.
The banquet was very lively. Li Mei invited more than ten students. After the children ate the cake, they began to play. The restaurant was full of laughter.
Xu Qizhen took a piece of cake, went out of the restaurant and ate it on the swing in the courtyard.
Ruan Yanfeng came over and asked her, "do you mind if I smoke?"
"Whatever you want." She said.
Ruan Yanfeng lit a cigarette and then asked her, "you don't seem very happy today...
" to be exact, you are a little annoyed. " Xu Qizhen said, "I just know that my stepson has a biological mother. That woman is sneaky. She went to my restaurant for a long time. I thought she was a repeat customer, but I didn't think she was spying on me. "
Ruan Yanfeng laughed.
Xu Qizhen does not understand: "smile what?"
"... I came earlier today." Ruan Yanfeng said, "I've talked with your father for a long time. They are very sorry for you. They are afraid that you will follow the old path of Xu Pei.
In his last days, Xu Pei had no strength to be angry. You're OK. You feel angry. You won't be the second Xu Pei. "
Xu Qizhen ate the cake in silence.
The cake is sweet, but the texture is not delicate enough. She thought of the cake she had made and added coconut milk. Her two stepchildren surrounded her and looked at her with the black and moist eyes like small animals. They were full of longing, which made her feel soft.
"Have you come often lately?" She asked Ruan Yanfeng.
Ruan Yanfeng nodded.
Since the turmoil in Singapore, he has been close to the Xu family.
When Xu Qizhen had an accident again, Xu Shaoan became more and more careful with his children. Instead, he was willing to talk to Ruan Yanfeng.
"It's very good. My second brother would like to. He's in peace." Xu Qizhen said.
The banquet lasted until more than ten o'clock in the evening.
Mrs. Xu stayed with Xu Qizhen: "don't go back today."
She hasn't come back to live in her mother's house for several months. Mrs. Xu is a little guilty, and her smile is deliberately flattering.
Without Yamamoto's presence, Xu Qizhen would have really lived.
Now, she wants to go back to Yan's home. Anyway, she is Yan Ziqing's wife, and Yan's family is her territory. We can't give up our own territory.
"No, I'll bring the children with me some other day." Xu Qizhen said.
Mrs. Xu wants to talk but stops. She didn't dare to say anything and turned away.
When Xu Qizhen left, it was her elder sister Xu qiongzhen who sent her to the gate.
The eldest sister said to her, "stepmother is the most difficult thing to do. You'd better be distant and indifferent than too close. To be someone's stepmother is to be meritorious. "
Xu Qizhen glanced at her elder sister: "you are so vulgar."
Her elder sister stopped at one breath, and she couldn't say a lot of good things for her.
She is sincere for Xu Qizhen.
Her parents are responsible for Xu Qizhen's marriage, and her elder sister knows that.
When Xu Qizhen and Gu Shao broke up, those people in Nanjing said a lot about the rumors. Their parents are all face saving people, so they bear a lot of social pressure.
The news of Xu Qizhen's pregnancy was widely spread by her relatives as a joke. Her parents were traditional people and felt that there was no way to go, so they had to put pressure on Xu Qizhen.
However, after Xu Qizhen committed suicide, her parents did not dare to mention it any more and preferred not to look up.
But it was Xu Qizhen who finally said that she would marry Yan Ziqing.
Everyone is wrong in this marriage, but it is Xu Qizhen's final choice. She blames the Xu family, her parents, her brothers and sisters, and she is always angry.
The eldest sister can see clearly that she is also 10000 people who do not agree with Xu Qizhen's marriage to Yan Ziqing.
It's not just the reputation of the Yan family, it's more important that Yan Ziqing's two children cost Xu Qizhen half of her life.
Stepmother is the hardest.
Well done, say you don't have intentions, the children are a little bit provoked by outsiders, and then turn over with their stepmother, and all the good intentions are fed to the dog; poorly done, say you are vicious, the children regard you as a monster, and fight to revenge you, as if you are heinous, and a small mistake can be magnified infinitely.
The elder sister felt that her sister's marriage to Yan Ziqing was like stepping into a ghost's gate, but she was also very interested in Yan Ziqing's two children.
"Do evil by oneself..." the elder sister is distressed and worried.
After Xu Qizhen came home, she saw two children dozing off. The two of them sat on the sofa and refused to go back to their room. They could not be persuaded by the nurse."Mommy's back." Yan Qi rubbed his sleepy eyes, got up and hugged Xu Qizhen's leg.
Yan Kai is sober.
"Go to bed." Xu Qizhen picked up Yan Qi and touched Yan Kai's head.
Yan Kai sleeps: "Mommy, I'm going to eat steamed buns tomorrow morning, steamed buns with water."
That's Xu Qizhen's best little dumpling.
"Well, I'll do it for you in the morning. Go to bed first." Xu Qizhen said.
The two children went to bed contentedly.
After Xu Qizhen combed and washed, it was already 11:30 p.m., but she thought of Yamamoto quiet, and her heart was particularly agitated.
She got up and was ready to make the soup dumpling in advance.
Yesterday, she cooked a pot of soup with spareribs. After soaking it in cold water for a whole day, the soup had solidified into shivering pieces.
Xu Qizhen boiled the water and prepared the noodles.
As soon as she started, she heard the footsteps of shoes. A moment later, the footsteps stopped outside the kitchen.
As soon as she looked back, she found that her husband, Yan Ziqing, was still in that suit - shoes, trousers and white shirt. It's just the coffee stains on the shirt that make the whole dress dirty.
He hasn't changed yet, so he just came back.
"... do you have a midnight snack?" He asked Xu Qizhen.
He likes to watch Xu Qizhen cook. Whether it's kneading noodles or cutting vegetables, her movements are very sharp.
The Xu family used to have many industries, including a good restaurant. Xu Qizhen's school is close to the restaurant. When she was a child, she always went to the restaurant for dinner after school. A master specially opened a small stove for her and taught her how to cook.
She has been deeply influenced and has been interested in cooking since then.
She has also made great efforts to improve her skills. The dishes she made are not only delicious, but also exquisite in color and setting, so there are both dishes and appearances.
"Well, make dumplings." Xu Qizhen said, "do you want some?"
The Xiaolong soup dumpling she made is thick and delicious, thin and tough skin, and fresh and tender stuffing. It's the best soup dumpling Yan Ziqing has ever eaten.
"Then I have a good mouth." He said.
He stood behind him, watching Xu Qizhen busy.
When Xu Qizhen is cooking, she is most annoyed that other people disturb her, and she doesn't need any help. She cuts everything herself, even the side dishes and ingredients.
Everything has to go through her hands for her to feel safe.
Yan Ziqing was a little distracted. Suddenly, he heard Xu Qizhen ask him, "will you return Kaikai to her?"
