Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 938 Mother-in-law visits son-in-law
When Hao Jing turned around and went back to the house, there was a smile on her brows. With a man in the house, she could speak louder and no longer had to be as cautious as usual for fear of offending others.

Besides, Han Li is a very glorious son-in-law. He is tall, handsome, and has outstanding abilities. The fact that he was given a bicycle as a gift the first time he visited his home is unique among the people around him.

Especially when I told those neighbors just now that Han Li was a deputy section-level cadre before going to school, and now not only is he studying with pay, but he has also become an assistant teacher and graduate student at Yan University, and was selected by the school to be sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for training, and during this period he was specially received by "that person" and "Mr. Huang" because of his excellent performance, the envy on those neighbors' faces was almost overflowing.

If you tell these words to villagers in the countryside, they may not quite understand what they mean.

But this is Shanghai, one of the most advanced cities in the country. How could they not know the value of being a deputy section-level official, a graduate student at Yan University, a teaching assistant, or going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for training?

These neighbors who can chat and spy in the alleys are all unemployed. Most of them spend their time listening to the radio at home. They are very familiar with the two people mentioned by Hao Jingshi just now.

Before going to school, he was an assistant section chief, a graduate student, a teaching assistant, and worked in the Foreign Affairs Department. He was also received by two senior leaders. If you add all these things up, it would be a great achievement for Hao Jingshi's son-in-law to start working after graduation.

Precisely because they knew this, the envy on their faces almost overflowed, and when they spoke, they no longer had the condescending tone that looked down on people like Hao Jingshi as in the past. Some people even had a hint of fawning in their words.

It has been many years since Hao Jingshi felt such a proud day. She was so busy dealing with the neighbors just now that she didn't even take a serious look at Han Li. Now that she had finished showing off, she wanted to go back to the house to take a good look at this "son-in-law".

"aunt."

"Don't be polite, it's like being at home here."

Hao Jing reached out to stop Han Li who wanted to stand up, and sat next to her daughter. She helped to clean up the ingredients, chatted with him, and looked at her "son-in-law" seriously.

There is a saying that goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she is. This is exactly what Hao Jingshi feels now.

What made Hao Jing feel a little unsatisfactory was that the name Han Li was a bit awkward.

Calling Han Li "Xiao Han" was too stiff and formal, not close at all. Calling him "Xiao Li (Li)" sounded a bit like a girl's name. But she also understood why her daughter always called him by his full name, probably because the other two names were not appropriate.

At this time, Hao Hongmin opened Han Li's two large travel bags and started to take out the ingredients and asked.

"Mom, Han Li said he brought some ingredients. Do you think we should cook for lunch as well?"

When Hao Jing looked over, she became even more satisfied with Han Li when she saw the various pickled and smoked fish, dried sea cucumbers, dried abalone, and scallops.

"I bought a lot of ingredients today, and they are all not allowed to be put in. You can put them away first, and we will cook them when Han Li comes next time."

Han Li: "Aunt, these are for your health. You don't have to save them for me. I'll send them to you after you finish eating them. If you don't have time to go to Shanghai, I'll mail them to you."

While Hao Jing was being polite with Han Li, Hao Hongmin took out the brandy, champagne and wine from the bottom. Hao Jing looked outside and spoke in a low and hurried voice.

"Silly girl, this is foreign liquor, how dare you take it out? It will be terrible if others see it. Put it in quickly, put it in quickly."

Han Li cursed himself for being careless. At that time, he only thought that Hao Jingshi was someone he had eaten and seen, and he took out a few bottles of foreign wine to please her. He didn't think that foreign wine could only be found in a few places at that time, and it was almost impossible to find such things on the market. However, it was useless to say anything at this time. Han Li could only try his best to hug back and let the mother and daughter worry less.

"Aunt, there is absolutely no problem with the origins of these bottles of foreign wine. They were given to me as rewards by my leader during my last training course at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

But your worries are correct. Although the origin of this thing is not afraid of being investigated, it is always not good to be called in for questioning. Moreover, if I leave Shanghai at that time, you will not be able to explain this matter for a while.

Hongmin, you should keep them away first and don't show them. But you and your aunt can drink the wine secretly when no one is around. It is said that wine has the effect of beautifying the skin."

After Han Li said this, the tension on Hao Jing's face dissipated a lot. What she feared most in these years was being called in for questioning. Every time she did so, she felt very scared, fearing that she would be implicated in other matters after she went in.

After putting the things away, Hao Hongmin sat down again to prepare the dishes. At this time, Hao Hongmin and her daughter were both working, and Han Li didn't want to just stand by and watch, so he moved his chair forward and chatted with them while helping to prepare the ingredients.

Only then did Han Li take a serious look at Hao Jingshi. As expected, she was the one who gave birth to a beauty like Hao Hongmin. Her appearance was no less beautiful than Hao Hongmin's, and in some aspects, she was even more outstanding than her daughter. Especially now that she was sitting opposite him, bending down from time to time to take and put down the ingredients,
In addition, although Hao Jingshi had a hard life in recent years, Shanghai was different from the countryside, and the soil and water here were more nourishing. Except for her hands which were a little rough, the skin on her face and neck was whiter than when Hao Hongmin worked in the fields in Shanghe Village. As for other parts of her body, it was not noticeable.

Han Li thought of this and cursed himself in his heart. What was he thinking just now? This kind of thought was unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable.

While the three were packing the ingredients, occasionally some neighbors who had just heard the news would come over to watch the fun, but most of them would just stop and chat for a while, compliment Han Li on his good looks and Hao Hongmin on how lucky she was, and then leave.

Han Li had experienced this kind of situation of being watched when he first went to the Yun family, so now he was not at all nervous about dealing with such a scene.

It was not yet ten o'clock when the ingredients were prepared, but because Hao Hongmin's family still used a coal briquette stove, they had to start now. In order to make the meal faster, Hao Jing also borrowed a gas stove from her neighbor's house.

At this time, Han Li was asked by Hao Jingshi to sit aside to drink tea and eat snacks. She and her daughter were busy in front of the stove. Occasionally, there were children who came over to watch the fun. They asked them to go back and get their bowls, and gave them a chopstick of the cooked dishes, and then asked them to take them home to eat.

Stir-fried mushrooms, yellow bean paste buns (meat wrapped in tofu skin), four-happiness grilled gluten, fried shrimp, steamed egg with meat patties, crab roe egg, sweet and sour spare ribs, sauerkraut pork intestines (sauerkraut), and lastly, silver carp and fish head soup with vermicelli skin, totaling eight dishes and one soup.

(Four Happiness Roasted Gluten: Roasted gluten is northern gluten, fried with soaked shiitake mushrooms, soaked day lily, and soaked black fungus.

Crab roe eggs: In the north, it is called crab roe, but in Shanghai it is made with crab vinegar. Each family has its own secret recipe of crab vinegar, so the taste of the fried crab roe eggs is also different.

Sour green cabbage: This is a kind of sauerkraut that is very quick to make in Shanghai. Buy the green cabbage and air-dry it on the first day. Blanch it in water, add vinegar and salt and simmer it for a day on the second day. It can be eaten on the third day.

Steamed egg with meat pie: Mix the minced meat with seasonings, beat two eggs on the surface, and steam until cooked.
By the time Hao Jing and her daughter had prepared all the vegetables they had bought today and steamed the rice, it was already past twelve o'clock.

When Hao Hongmin and Han Li began to arrange the dishes and serve the rice, Hao Jingshi turned around and locked the door.

Han Li was confused by Hao Jing's action, and then he thought that she might be afraid that the neighbor's children would come over to make trouble during dinner, so it would be quieter if the door was locked.

But unexpectedly, Hao Jingshi actually took out the foreign wine that Hao Hongmin had just put down.
