Forty has a hurdle

Chapter 175 Dinner
Back home, Zhao Hongming didn't stay idle either, he calmed down and finished writing the chapters of the novel to be released today, and it was time for Zhao Huan to go to school.

After sending Zhao Huan back, Zhao Hongming continued typing for about two hours before starting to prepare the dishes for dinner.

In the past, writing novels was just to earn a little extra income after work.

Now, the monthly remuneration of 700 yuan has become very important to Zhao Hongming.

The scene of looking for a job two years ago is still vivid in my mind.

Now, Zhao Hongming is 42 years old.

Finding a job is definitely more difficult than before.

Writing novels seems to be his only source of income now.

However, this novel is not so easy to write.

If you want to get the perfect attendance reward, you must have [-] words a day. It seems that [-] words is not much, but in fact, if you really have no ideas, you may not be able to write in four or five hours.

Fortunately, for Zhao Hongming's novel, he prepared well for the outline and so on, and basically never met Calvin.

just no one is watching
Tonight, Zhao Hongming plans to cook some hard dishes.

Firstly, he wanted to coax his wife. After all, Zhao Hongming didn't discuss with Qin Yali about such a big matter as resignation, and made his own decision.

The meaning of calling Qin Yuan here, apart from the fact that he really wanted to drink something today, has another meaning, which is to see if Qin Yuan has any good suggestions.

After all, Qin Yuan's paths are much wider than Zhao Hongming and Qin Yali's.

Today, Zhao Hongming prepared sauce-flavored beef, stir-fried waist and belly, cold shredded chicken, and a cucumber and egg soup.

At six o'clock, Qin Yuan arrived first.

"Wow, brother-in-law, what day is it today, to cook so many delicious food!"

After entering the door, Qin Yuan went straight to the dining table.

After seeing the dishes on the table, they praised again and again.

"Hehe, it's nothing. I just want to ask you out for a drink. Your big boss usually eats high-end food outside. If I don't show some sincerity, don't let you call me stingy?"

Zhao Hongming joked.

"Ah, how come? Brother-in-law, if you say that, you will be out of touch!"

Hearing what Zhao Hongming said, Qin Yuan was a little dumbfounded.

"Huh? Where are Kaikai and Siqi?"

Zhao Hongming stood at the door and waited for a few seconds, but he couldn't see Qin Yuan's wife and son, so he couldn't help asking.

"Oh, they made an appointment and went to eat elsewhere."

Hearing that Zhao Hongming asked about his wife and children, Qin Yuan's eyes flickered and he said with a smile.

"You too, didn't you call you a long time ago? Why did you go elsewhere? The portions of my dishes are quite a lot! I have made a lot of Kaikai's favorite sauce beef."

Zhao Hongming couldn't help complaining, "Forget it, you can bring some of this beef to Kaikai later."

"Hahaha, okay, I know you love Kaikai the most."

Qin Yuan replied.

"Yo, Xiao Yuan is here too!"

At this time, Qin Yali also entered the house.

When he saw his younger brother was there, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

She knew about her husband Zhao Hongming, and usually she would not take the initiative to invite Qin Yuan to the house. Most of the time, it was Qin Yali who spoke.

As she spoke, Qin Yali gave her husband an appreciative look.

When he met his wife's gaze, Zhao Hongming's gaze averted a little, "I'll go get some wine, let's have a good drink tonight."

He avoided his wife's gaze, turned and went into the kitchen, and took out two bottles of wine.

"Hey, it's just the two of us, is it necessary to take out two bottles?"

Seeing the number of wine bottles, Qin Yuan couldn't help laughing.

The wine in Zhao Hongming's hands is Jiangcheng's local wine, and Qin Yuan also drinks it often. This brand of wine is all 500ml, 50% alcohol.

Generally speaking, if a person gets into a bottle by himself, he is basically drunk.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, as much as you can drink, it counts."

As Zhao Hongming said, he opened the two bottles of wine, put one bottle in front of Qin Yuan, and put a bottle in front of himself.

"Then I won't be polite today!"

Since Zhao Hongming wanted to drink, Qin Yuan naturally wouldn't be stage frightened, so he picked up the wine glass and filled it up for himself.

While the two were talking, Qin Yali had already sat down, asked her sister-in-law and nephew, and looked at Zhao Hongming.

"Come, come, today's first glass of wine, first of all toast to my most beautiful, most virtuous, most gentle, in short, there are many 'most' wives!"

Zhao Hongming raised his glass with a smile and said to his wife.

"puff!"

"Zhao Hongming, is your mouth covered with honey? Why are you so talkative today!"

Qin Yali was covered her mouth and laughed non-stop when she was praised by her husband.

"Zi Liu."

Before Qin Yali could finish speaking, Zhao Hongming raised his cup and drank it all down.

Today's wine glass, a glass of wine should be about one or two glasses of wine, Zhao Hongming usually drinks in small sips, but unexpectedly, today he is full of pride.

"Okay! Brother-in-law is refreshing!"

Seeing Zhao Hongming's drinking method, Qin Yuan couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands in applause.

"Drink slowly, no one will grab you!" Qin Yali gave her husband a hard look, feeling a little dissatisfied.

"Hey, sister, it's rare for my brother-in-law to be proud once, and this is at home again, it's okay!"

Qin Yuan cheerfully persuaded from the side.

After speaking, Qin Yuan picked up a piece of sauced beef and stuffed it into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Hongming filled up the wine glass, he didn't even eat a mouthful of food, then raised the wine glass again, and said to Qin Yuan: "Qin Yuan, I respect you for this glass of wine."

"You know me, I can't speak, thank you for caring for our family over the years."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Hongming raised his head again and drank the wine in the glass.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Qin Yuan didn't expect Zhao Hongming to be so aggressive today, and he just ate a large piece of beef, the meat was still in his throat and he couldn't swallow it.

He wanted to speak, but was choked up.

After coughing for a while, he finally recovered his breath.

"Brother-in-law, it's time to see someone else! Isn't this your business, my business? There's no need to be so formal, let's do it!"

Qin Yuan also raised his wine glass and drank it dry in one gulp.

Zhao Hongming wanted to pour wine, but Qin Yuan snatched the bottle, "Brother-in-law, in order to eat your big meal, I didn't eat anything else at noon, you should give me some first!"

As the saying goes, listen to people's persuasion to eat enough.

The wine bottle was snatched by Qin Yuan, so Zhao Hongming didn't insist anymore, and just cheerfully served Qin Yuan with food.

Seeing that Zhao Hongming stopped persuading him to drink, Qin Yali, who had already picked up her chopsticks to slap them on the table, slowly put them down again.

Ten minutes later, Qin Yuan took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Zhao Hongming, and filled it up himself.

He raised his glass and said seriously: "Brother-in-law, do you have something to do?"

Zhao Hongming's abnormal behavior today, let alone Qin Yuan, an old Jianghu, can see that something is wrong.

Even Qin Yali looked at her husband curiously.

Zhao Hongming, who was reaching for the wine glass, paused slightly when he heard the words, then picked up the wine glass, and poured it into his mouth again.

"Hey! I said Zhao Hongming, you are endless, right, you."

Seeing this, Qin Yali instantly had a layer of frost on her face.

"sister."

Qin Yuan on the side quickly patted his sister's hand, signaling her not to speak.

Looking at Zhao Hongming's appearance, it shouldn't be a good thing.

Qin Yuan didn't want his sister to make things worse.

"I resigned today."

After three glasses of wine, Zhao Hongming's face turned reddish.

He opened and closed his mouth a few times, and finally said the ultimate purpose of eating today's meal.
