Chapter 41：

After the busiest month of the previous year was over, there was only the last year-end meeting left for Shen Xiangyan to take care of. This year-end meeting is also Shen Xiangyan's reference to his previous life's work experience. On the one hand, this is to motivate the group of people under his command, and on the other hand, he is the boss at the end of the year to reward the people who work in the shop.

Although the year-end meeting sounds like a big deal, in fact, Shen Xiangyan only needs to explain the matter, and there are layers of people who will do it well according to his wishes. In the end, it is only the day of the year-end meeting that needs him to come forward He just wanted to speak in public. The matter can be handled so quickly, thanks to the fact that he has gradually adopted the model of managing the studio in his previous life since the day he opened the store.

So starting from the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Xiangyan could go back to accompany Xia Rong just by going to the store to inspect it at most. In this way, Xia Rong was the one who was happy. The painting teacher who was supposed to come every three days after she was pregnant stopped coming, and Xia Rong's rare thing of learning painting from others also stopped.

It was the same way before, and he didn't think much of it, but now Xia Rong really wants to pester Shen Xiangyan all the time, but Xia Rong can also distinguish the priorities. After all, Xianggong still has to earn money to support his family, so it's normal not to spend too much time with him. Therefore, Xia Rong can only moldy at home alone. Although He Xin and He Miao have been with him all the time, they are servants after all, and no matter what, there is a master-servant relationship.

Shen Xiangyan was also aware of the problem of the little husband, and originally wanted to find a few people who were free to talk to Xia Rong, but the one who could play with Xia Rong was Gu Chen. It is even more impossible for Gu Chen to accompany him. Gu Chen himself is six months pregnant and has such a big belly, how dare he make him toss, even if he is willing, Lu Tingsheng will definitely not let him. For others, if Xia Rong has to entertain people whom Xia Rong doesn't know well, it might as well not come.

This time Shen Xiangyan finally had a holiday, and Xia Rong could finally cling to her husband with all his strength. Right now, Xia Rong was lying on Shen Xiangyan's body, while pulling Shen Xiangyan's collar with her small hand, she was playing chess with Xianggong. In a normal game of chess, two players should each hold pieces of the same color and sit on both sides of the chess table. When Xia Rong arrived, she wanted to play chess, but she didn't want to be too far away from Shen Xiangyan, so in the end she could only play chess in such a strange posture.

After losing another game, Xia Rong threw away the chess pieces in her hand, pouted unhappily, "No more, no more, I'm hungry, sir, I want to eat fish." The pond, although the surface of the pond was already frozen, but for some reason, he thought of the few golden and red koi raised here in summer.

When I think about it, I suddenly feel very hungry. He knew what he said was a bit abrupt. After all, he used to be the least fond of fish. Who would have thought that today it would be like a convulsion. He couldn't help but think about the taste of fish, even when he was playing chess with his husband. Just lost the game. He will not admit that Xianggong has already given him six pieces, and he still lost. That's too embarrassing, yes, it's just that the greedy fish didn't play well, and that's why they lost the game.

Shen Xiangyan was also a little surprised by Xia Rong's taste, it was a bit elusive, but he nodded in agreement, thinking that Xia Rong couldn't spit thorns, and said, "Then I will make fish **** for you, I am very good at making fish balls, you haven't After eating, let’s make emerald fish ball soup.”

Just do what you say, seeing Xia Rong also looks very interested, Shen Xiangyan let Xia Rong follow him into the kitchen, but Xia Rong still has to stand far away from him, as long as Xia Rong can watch When Xianggong cooks, he naturally nods in agreement.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Mrs. Rong had already almost cooked what was going to be eaten tonight, and it happened that he was adding a fish ball soup, so the meal could be served. Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan drove out all the people in the kitchen, and didn't need them to follow suit. I looked in the fish tank in the kitchen, and there happened to be two lake fish that looked unusually fresh and plump.

After Shen Xiangyan took out the fish and cleaned it, he sliced ​​it into two pieces, removed the big bones and fish bones, and slowly scraped off the fish flesh with a knife. Shen Xiangyan took the time to look at Xia Rong who was standing aside and stared at him eagerly, smiled and took two eggs, and gave him an empty bowl, asking him to help separate the eggs.

Xia Rong had wanted to help a long time ago, and now she was assigned a job, so excitedly she took over and divided the egg whites. On Shen Xiangyan's side, he chopped the fish with the bone spurs into mincemeat with a knife, searched around the kitchen, and finally found a rolling pin, and used it to grind the fish into a paste.

Afterwards, Shen Xiangyan took a large bowl, put the fish paste in it, added an appropriate amount of minced ginger, and stirred the water and salt with chopsticks in one direction. Finally, while stirring, add the egg white that Xia Rong separated before adding in twice, and after a lot of effort, the fish paste is complete.

Xia Rong was already hungry from watching, Shen Xiangyan's hands were wet, so he could only kiss the young husband's face with his mouth, and said with a smile, "Hungry? We have to wait a while, Rong'er can eat some coconut flakes first." Balls." As he spoke, he took out a plate of pastries from the steamer next to him, and the kitchen had always prepared snacks for Xia Rong, just in case he was hungry at any time and could eat them at any time. When he entered the kitchen just now, he opened it first and saw that today it was coconut balls, which will come in handy.

Xia Rong took the plate containing the coconut balls, ate one by herself, and then picked up one and handed it to the husband. Then put the plate aside and don't eat it.

Shen Xiangyan looked at him a little puzzled, "Why don't you eat it, eat some more, be good."

"I'm going to save my stomach and wait for my husband's cooking." After speaking, he pushed the plate further away with a look of disgust. I don't know who loves this kind of delicate and sweet food. .

"Then Rong'er, wait a little longer." After speaking, Shen Xiangyan's hands speeded up a lot, and he added water to the pot to heat it up, squeezed the fish paste into round **** with his hands, and put them in the pot to cook. When the fish **** are almost cooked, add various seasonings for seasoning, and watch the fish **** float up one by one, and when there is a fresh fragrance, garnish with chopped green onion and coriander.

Shen Xiangyan thought about it, Xia Rong's taste has changed a lot recently, he not only likes spicy food but also sour food, so he also added more vinegar and chili to the fishball soup than usual.

They all say sour and spicy, so how can he tell whether Xia Rong is pregnant with a boy or a girl by the taste of the food he likes to eat both sour and spicy. Shen Xiangyan shook his head amusedly, and kicked all these messy thoughts out of his mind, he likes both men and women, so now why he cares so much about whether it's a man or a woman, he's still dazed.

Xia Rong secretly took a small spoon and waited on the side. When she saw that it was cooked, she was not afraid of being hot, so she wanted to taste it first. Shen Xiangyan shaved Xia Rong's nose, took the spoon from him, scooped up a fish ball himself, let it cool down in the soup, and then brought it to Xia Rong's mouth. Xia Rong also knew that he looked like a foodie in such a hurry to eat, but after rubbing his belly, he found that there were two of them now, so he was confident.

Xia Rong took a sip from the spoon that Shen Xiangyan handed over. The fish soup was carefully prepared, and it was very delicious. The round fish **** were also very springy and tender. still want.

"Okay, let someone bring it to the table, and there are a lot of dishes prepared in the kitchen before, let's go to the table and eat." Shen Xiangyan touched Xia Rong's little head, he must have been starved before, and it was too much. Yue didn't eat well, and she was still double, so it would be good if she could eat now.

Xia Rong had a very happy meal this time. He basically let him eat the fish **** in the big bowl of fish ball soup that Shen Xiangyan made. After the meal, Shen Xiangyan took Xia Rong's hand for a walk in the yard, seeing his belly bulging from eating, Shen Xiangyan smiled more gently, and those who didn't know thought it was pregnant, but in fact it was just full of food .

The two walked around the yard twice before returning to the house. This is also his experience in his previous life, and Dr. Li also explained that, pregnant women still need exercise, and this circle is just right. If he can persevere, it will be good for Xia Rong's future childbirth. After the walk, Shen Xiangyan sent Xia Rong back to rest, while he went back to his study.

Seeing that Xia Rong ate a lot today, he was already in a good mood. Sitting in the study at the moment and listening to the people below give back is even more in a good mood. It turned out that the person who was placed in Xia's family came back to report back. Speaking of Xia Tian's life in Zhang's family after getting married, it was not easy. There were several concubines in Zhang Ningyu's room, and some were particularly favored. Xia Tian was not willing to marry Zhang Ningyu at first, but seeing the situation in his family, she made a few big fuss regardless.

The old couple of the Zhang family originally heard that their son was going to marry a girl from the Xia family. Although their reputation was a bit tainted, their son also said that the man Xia's daughter met in private was himself. From what the old couple heard, with Mrs. Xia's background, the daughter must be pretty good, so they agreed to the marriage at first.

How can I imagine that after entering the Zhang family this summer, there will be a big scene every two days without Ansheng. No matter how good the mother-in-law and father-in-law are, they can't tolerate such a daughter-in-law. In addition, Zhang Ningyu's marriage to her was more of a gamble with those friends, and he might regret it after making the marriage, but it was hard to get off the tiger, so he reluctantly married her back. In this way, without the support of the Zhang family's old couple in summer, life is even more sad.

Maybe Xia Tian started to run home after watching the trouble and seeing it was useless, which made Mrs. Xia have a headache, and she had to listen to her in Xia Tian if she wanted to manage it. fell ill.

In Xia's mansion, Mrs. Xia was so ill, but Master Xia's concubine was pregnant. This made Master Xia very happy. Master Xia has been looking forward to having a son who can take care of him until the end of his life. This time, his concubine's stomach is so upbeat, and even the people are becoming noble all of a sudden. Mrs. Xia never expected that after she fell ill just once, that concubine who had always looked honest but not very clever would become pregnant, and this hit Mrs. Xia even more.

Shen Xiangyan listened to the reports from the people below, but he thought that Mrs. Xia had only one twin son and one daughter for so many years, Mrs. Xia's handwriting must be indispensable in this. Since ancient times, there have never been fewer underworld affairs in the back house, which is one of the reasons why he only wants Rong'er alone.
