Chapter 078: [Can't swallow this breath] 5000(1/2)
That evening, Xu Jianjun came in from outside with a happy look on his face.
"I've been promoted." As soon as I entered the door, Xu Jianjun announced the good news loudly.
"Promotion?" Qin Xuejuan wondered, "What position?"
Xu Jianjun stepped forward and poured a glass of water, "The director of our department was transferred to the county, and the top asked me to take over her position."
Xu Jianjun has been in the accounting department of the town government for more than ten years. After all, he is now a relatively senior in the department. However, the two previous promotions were all sent by people from the higher authorities. Who would have thought that he would be promoted at this critical moment?
Qin Xuejuan then smiled, "Then are you Director Xu now?"
"Yeah!" After drinking half a glass of water, he breathed a sigh of relief. "It was also the mayor who communicated with the superiors. I want to thank him this time."
"Of course I have to thank you, but your ability is also here. Otherwise, even if the mayor is willing to help you, he will be powerless." Qin Xuejuan thought about her husband's promotion and should have made more dishes today.
"Give me something to someone tomorrow." The old lady knows how to be grateful, and of course she knows the right way. "We don't give you those expensive gifts, just give you some cucumbers and persimmons."
Xu Jianjun nodded, "I think it's OK. I'll take it over tomorrow morning and I'll take it over here. We all grow it from our own home, and even if we give it to him, we won't let anyone gossip."
Qin Xuejuan smiled angrily and said, "This gift is no lighter than a gift. Our cucumbers and persimmons are simply the only one in the country."
"That's not the case." The old lady nodded and agreed, "Juan'er, are you not uncomfortable to eat those things?"
"No." After Qin Xuejuan became pregnant, she often ate cucumbers and tomatoes in the space, and they were eaten raw as fruits. "Not only did not feel uncomfortable, but she felt very relaxed. She had no morning sickness and had a good sleep. Two days ago, I went to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that everything was very good and there was no problem."
"It seems that it is really good for people. My hair is growing black, probably because it is water."
Xu Ning smiled happily, "Grandma, you just realized it. Didn't you say it was blessed by the gods?"
"Your thing might be given by a god." The old lady was a little embarrassed.
"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say." Xu Ning found that his grandmother was really cute.
In the evening, Qin Xuejuan and Xu Ning cooked seven or eight dishes in the kitchen, and the old lady directly asked the family of three to have dinner at home.
Mr. Jiang was also happy for Xu Jianjun when he heard that he was promoted.
"You should have been promoted long ago. You have been working in one place for more than ten years, and there is no problem with your qualifications."
"We decided not to decide on this kind of thing. I think it's appropriate to get promoted now, and my salary is a little higher. Just as Juan'er quit her job with a child, her family is starting to relax now."
"You are having a happy couple, so you don't want to celebrate well." Mr. Jiang didn't even bring a tobacco pipe when he came here this time. "Before, my old comrade-in-arms grandson was admitted to a good university in the south. Your aunt and I went to their house to celebrate. When we came back, we brought me two bottles of Maotai. Let's have a bottle tonight. Xiaozheng, you go back and get it!"
"My grandma brought it with me when she came." Xie Zheng pointed to the square table in front, "It's on the table."
Xu Jianjun was also quite surprised. Who doesn’t know about Moutai? The famous name of the national liquor Moutai is well-known both at home and abroad. Since its founding, Moutai has always appeared at the welcome banquets abroad. The price is absolutely not cheap, and it is not necessarily possible to buy it with money alone.
"Uncle Jiang, you are so amazing. You are actually Moutai." Xu Jianjun picked it up and looked at it, then carefully placed it on the table. "But you should keep it for yourself and drink it slowly. Let's drink some Erguotou. It would be a waste of my drinking capacity to drink Moutai."
"What's the waste? It's not easy to drink this wine alone. It's just a few people have to drink together to make fun of it. It's great if your aunt drinks."
Gao Xiulan was so amused by these words.
"You are so stupid, what are you drinking, a big old lady?"
"Why can't I drink it anymore? My deceased mother is very good at drinking it. My father and I can't drink it together."
Mr. Jiang has a generous personality and can often say something unexpected.
"When my mother-in-law heard you say that, it's time to fall asleep to hit you at night."
Yu Chunhua also nodded and added harm to the point, "Well, this is a light beating."
Mr. Jiang's face turned pale and turned to Xu Jianjun for a while, and said, "We are not going to bother with me."
For a moment, laughter resounded in the Xu family yard.
In the kitchen, Xu Ning prepared a dish of sea rice and cucumbers and sugar and tomatoes. These two dishes were Qin Xuejuan’s favorites. Of course, Qin Xuejuan felt that cucumbers and tomatoes tasted very good raw, and there was no need to add anything else at all.
In addition, I also made fried leeks with eggs, meat slices, cabbage, stir-fried garlic sprouts, and a meat dish, braised carp. Finally, Xu Ning made another tofu clam broth. The clam meat cannot be stored for so many days, so Xu Ning stuffed it into the space.
As the last dish was released, the two families sat around the dining table to start their meal.
"This is another dish that Ning Ning cooks himself?" Mr. Jiang looked at the seven dishes in front of him. He stopped talking about the cold dishes, and the hot dishes made people feel appetite.
Qin Xuejuan said to Mr. Jiang: "You have eaten the dishes I cook many times. What level is not as good as Menqing in my mind. I really don't have much talent than cooking. After learning from my mother for more than ten years, it is not as delicious as Ningning's cooking."
"Hey, don't be dissatisfied with this. Some people are really talented about something, and they really can't care about it." The old man picked up a chopstick of cucumber, and the taste made his eyebrows shake. "Not bad, this little girl Ningning is really good at craftsmanship, and your grandma can't catch up with you."
Xu Ning didn't think anything. She used to work in restaurants or hotels. It is understandable that she could cook a few dishes over the past few decades. Now the food is delicious, mainly due to the ingredients.
"Grandpa Jiang likes you, eat more."
"good."
Not only Mr. Jiang, but others were also unable to stop eating. The two cold dishes were eaten quickly and they were empty shortly after the beginning.
Seeing this, Xu Ning got up and went to the kitchen to make two plates again and served them.
They all think that the food is delicious, which is Xu Ning's skill, so they don't think about the food itself at all, and the same is true for Xie Zheng.
However, Xie Zheng was still a little helpless. He said that if you grasp a man's heart, you have to grasp a man's stomach first.
He felt that if he really fell in there one day, Xu Ning's cooking skills would be the culprit.
Suddenly thinking about it this way, if Xu Ning washes his hands and makes soup for other men he doesn't know in the future, he will be really not happy, but if he puts his feelings on her again, Xie Zheng will still feel a little bored. In short, they are still young now, so wait a little longer.
This feeling of not being able to swallow that breath is not very comfortable.
However, if Xu Ning was willing to pursue him, Brother Zheng felt that he would feel more relieved.
After all, he loved this little girl so much in his previous life, but she left him and ran away with another man.
If he wags his tail and chases him in this life, he will have to save face.
Xu Ning didn't know that Xie Zheng around her had already thought about it so much, but she was enjoying the delicious food she made.
If she knew, she would probably not do anything. After returning from the Qin family, she confessed her secret to her family and she felt relaxed.
Now that my mother is finally pregnant with her second child, her life is really getting more and more exciting. Isn’t it a waste of time to focus on falling in love?
She wants a younger brother, but it’s not that her younger sister is not bad. She mainly cares about her grandmother.
Although grandma never talks about her grandson in recent years, the whole family knows that she feels sorry for her younger generations. From the standpoint of a woman, she can't bear to blame her mother for her grandson's problems, and she still cares about it in her heart.
My mother was gone at this time in her previous life. Perhaps she didn't know that she was pregnant with a child in her womb, otherwise she would never have lived a life of one corpse.
However, even though my mother is sitting in front of her now, she feels even more displeased with the Qin family when she ends her life with the child in her belly in her previous life.
Xie Zheng's eyes were so sharp. Seeing Xu Ning looking at Qin Xuejuan's stomach from time to time, he already understood in his heart.
"Don't think about anything that's not there when eating." He picked up a chopstick dish in Xu Ning's bowl.
Xu Ning glanced at him, "Brother Zheng seemed to know what I thought."
"What do you think?" Xie Zheng glared at her angrily. When he first saw this girl, he was a little doll sleeping with saliva. She had washed her bed sheets several times. How could he not understand?
Several adults at home watched the interaction between the two children, and their eyes were filled with smiles that could not be hidden.
No matter how you look at it, they are very compatible. You should be together after you are alive, otherwise it would be a pity.
The supper ended in a lively manner. After that, Mr. Jiang and Xu Jianjun talked in the main hall, while Gao Xiulan took Qin Xuejuan to the old lady's house. Xie Zheng walked to Xu Ning's room without surprise, took off his shoes and went to the kang.
"Let me read your new book." He lay lazily on his side on the bedding. To be honest, he ate a little too much tonight and would only go out for exercise later, otherwise he would probably not sleep well at night.
Xu Ning brought his heavy schoolbag over and took out all the new books distributed in the afternoon.
"It really made Brother Zheng talk, we added English classes."
Xie Zheng nodded, "I also heard from the teachers in the high school department chatting. If you study hard, you will definitely be able to use it in the future. Even if you can't use it, you will not be tired if you learn more."
"I think so too." She pursed her lips and smiled. "It just so happened that my mother is very good at English. She can teach me more when she comes back tonight."
So what this girl means is that I won’t ask myself to make up for my lessons in the future?
Xie Zheng muttered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. "If you don't understand, just ask me, are you still tired after taking a three-bit walk? Aunt San is pregnant now, so you should pay more attention."
Xu Ning thought this is the case. Her mother is also here, and having a child in her thirties is a bit uneasy.
"It's still the thoughtful brother Zheng thought."
It seems that his wife was very happy in her previous life, after all, Xie Zheng is a very good at taking care of others.
Thinking of his mother's child now, Xu Ning couldn't stop smiling, "Brother Zheng, do you think my mother can have a younger brother or a younger sister?"
"It should be my younger brother." Xie Zheng didn't know, but he just said it casually, and it didn't have any hindrance at all, "or do you like your sister more?"
"Everything is good, I just think grandma definitely hopes to be a grandson in her heart, although she doesn't say it." She sighed, "I really hope it's a younger brother."
"Then think about it more often, maybe I'll come after I look forward to it."
Xu Ning laughed, "This place can't be expected. If my mother has a sister in her belly, she can't become a younger brother just because I just think about it."
In the old lady's house, the two old men knew that Qin Xuejuan had given birth to a child, but at this time they still wanted to instill some things that she should pay attention to during pregnancy.
Qin Xuejuan also listened carefully to the two old men's nagging words, and was not annoyed at all.
She was so old that she could still get pregnant. In her opinion, this was really a great luck. Her belly, which had not been moved for more than ten years, gave birth to a small life in a blink of an eye. Moreover, the child was very obedient and did not bother her at all. She was really grateful.
"Juan'er is pregnant and gives her some food to eat more carefully."
"This is not a problem. I will definitely not lose her if I eat it." The old lady said with certainty. Their family had eaten in their granddaughter's space for this period. The old lady might not be very relieved before, but seeing that her piglets were obviously bigger than other people's, it means that the things in the space are all good.
As for the food they eat the same as the kind of food from rich families, they don’t have the conditions, but the old lady thinks that even if she is rich, she can’t buy the vegetables grown by her granddaughter. Qin Xuejuan’s food is really the only one in the country.
