I want to give my all to love you

Chapter 305 We Be Men (2)
Wei Ming took a tense breath, turned around and said to Zhou Jingqi and the two, "Let's go!"

Zhou Jingqi and Chen Ang each took two suitcases and followed behind.

Wei Ming walked quietly and low-key, without making a sound, and only his family members knew about it.

There was no one to hold a dinner for him to see him off, and no one came to see him off except Wei Zilin and Tian Fangyu.

He walked so bleakly, in the dark at night, walking dingy.

Others naturally didn't care whether Wei Mingli's departure was miserable or not, and even put the matter behind them, forgetting that he was leaving tonight.

Wei Mingli's family was gloomy, but Wei Minghao and Wei Liqing's family was full of joy and laughter.

Of course, when it comes to distress, the ones who can compare to Wei Mingli are the great elders and those deposed elders.

Meanwhile, Wei Minghao's house was bustling with activity.

Wei Mingli's arrogance was completely extinguished now, and he was even sent so far away.

Now that there is no enemy by his side, there is no need to worry about Wei Mingli not knowing when he will plan something, it is really a relief for the whole person.

Now there are no worries at home, and the whole family is happy and happy.

Wei Minghao and Lin Qiuye grinned happily. In just one hour since they got home from get off work, the smiles hadn't disappeared from their faces, and they had laughed more than a week.

They also invited the Fourth Elder and others, and they were not worried about being accused of forming a clique for personal gain and contacting the elders in private.

Anyway, being upright is not afraid of the shadow slanting.

They just want to get together and have fun, can't the elders have entertainment?
However, because there were too many people, Wei Ran was not willing to let Wei Ran cook in person, and handed over this arduous task to Chang Xianbin.

Although Wei Ran didn't need to cook in person, there were too many people, so Wei Ran also helped Chang Xianbin.

Otherwise, even adding Xiaolian and Aunt Fu, Chang Xianbin would be too busy.

At the dining table, it was different from the quietness of Wei Mingli's house, but it became lively.

Several people laughed, Wei Minghao took out all the good wine that had been hidden in the house for many years.

He usually doesn't drink at home, and he made an exception tonight.

"It's really thanks to everyone this time. If it wasn't for a few of you who stepped forward and even quit the elders' group, I'm afraid Ziqi would be in trouble." Wei Minghao said.

"Where is there." The Fourth Elder said with a smile, "Mr. Ji Xian's heart is bright. Without us, he knows the situation well. Wei Mingli and those elders can't escape."

That night, no one thought about it, Wei Mingli had already left.

The next day, Wei's family began to have an atmosphere of preparing for the New Year.

Xiao Lian and Aunt Fu started to prepare for the purchase of New Year's goods. Aunt Fu wrote a list of New Year's goods and showed it to Lin Qiuye. Lin Qiuye added a few more, and then asked the driver to drive the two of them to buy.

Chang Xianbin marinated meat at home, such as braised pork belly, tripe, large intestine, sauced beef, and sauced trotters, all of which are common things.

These things seem to be eaten by ordinary people, and they look rough when placed on the table, not very delicate and beautiful, and they are far from the dishes on the usual table of the Wei family.

Regardless of Chang Xianbin’s young age, he worked as an apprentice in a restaurant in France in his early years. After he graduated as a teacher, he returned to China and entered a five-star hotel as a chef’s assistant to learn.

After a few years, he learned authentic Chinese and Western food, and then came to Wei's house and became a humble family cook.

This job is much easier than in the restaurant. It only cooks for Wei's family, and it won't waste his good craftsmanship and ingenuity. After all, these people are all knowledgeable and can appreciate his level. Instead, it inspired Chang Xianbin to constantly research new dishes.

It's just that these sauces and lo mei are really common people, and it doesn't look like they are made by five-star chefs. I'm afraid you can only taste them if you taste them.

But these are the traditions that the Wei family has insisted on for many years.

In the past, people's living conditions were difficult, and they couldn't usually eat fish and meat all day long, so they relied on the Chinese New Year to indulge themselves, marinated these meats and preserved them, and ate them every day during the Chinese New Year.

So even the Wei family has retained this tradition.

There is less and less New Year's flavor now, so we rely on preserving these traditions and try to keep the New Year's flavor as much as possible.

In addition to these big fish and meat, Chang Xianbin also deep-fried twists, which are salty and sweet, and fried crispy.

Wei Ran went to the market to pick up lanterns, couplets, blessing characters, and window grilles. When he came back, he could smell the delicious smell of stewed soup. The smell is very strong, and it smells so good that it drools.

"It smells so good!" Wei Ran had just finished speaking, and the saliva was secreted, and he quickly swallowed it back.

"Miss, don't hide, I can already see how greedy you are!" Xiao Lian said with a smile.

"Hmph, don't say you're not greedy!" Wei Ran put down his things and ran to the kitchen.

Those ingredients were still simmering in the pot, when Wei Ran opened the lid, the thick heat came out in white mist, and her wrists were a little hot and hurt from the spray.

The meat and belly in it are all mixed together and boiled, which is very similar to the feeling of a time-honored shop deep in the alley.

The boiling hot soup kept rolling up steaming bubbles, Wei Ran sniffed it, and said, "Isn't it alright?"

Chang Xianbin was also amused by Wei Ran's gluttonous appearance, "It needs to be stewed for a long time to get the taste."

Wei Ran looked at the tendon on the beef, it was boiled until it became transparent, covered with a layer of gravy, it looked crystal clear.

That was her favorite part.

Wei Ran swallowed again, and finally said a little unwillingly: "Oh, forget it, I'll go hang the lanterns!"

She hung up the lantern and pasted the couplet on the door by the way.

It was uncomfortable to wear gloves to paste the Spring Festival couplets, so I took off the gloves.

As a result, it didn't take long for his hands to turn red from the wind, and they were frozen stiff.

After posting, I was about to enter the house to warm up, when I heard the sound of a car coming.

At first, Wei Ran's body froze and she was a little nervous, but then she thought that Wei Mingli was gone, so what was she afraid of.

Looking back, he found that it was Wei Ziqi's car, and he and Wei Minghao got out of the car together.

"Dad, Ziqi, why did you come back so early?" Wei Ran smiled, and immediately rushed down the steps and ran directly to Wei Ziqi.

"Isn't it the Chinese New Year? Many employees of the company asked for leave and rushed home. The offices of various departments suddenly became empty, which made people feel restless and unwilling to work. Anyway, there is no work at the end of the year. Why not start the holiday tomorrow, so that those employees can go home with peace of mind." Wei Ziqi explained.

The system and benefits of "Wu Feng" are also rarely humanized, which is one of the reasons why the company is particularly able to retain talents.

"Where are the Spring Festival couplets posted?" Wei Ziqi looked at the lively door decorated by Wei Ran, and understood.

Every Spring Festival, these are arranged by Wei Ran.

When she was a child, she thought it was fun.

At that time, the taste of the New Year was very full. She was busy at home, and she was too young to help with other things.

This kind of work of pasting Spring Festival couplets, window grilles, and blessing characters is like playing, and she is very happy to do it.

When she first came to Wei's house at the age of eight, she was still afraid of people. In the first year, Lin Qiuye specially left the posting of Spring Festival couplets to Wei Ran in order to make her relax.

As expected, Wei Ran blended in naturally.

So, this work is ten years.

From the initial feeling of fun, it has become a habit.

Every year, this is Wei Ran's job, and no one will steal it.

"Well, I just came back not long ago, and I just finished pasting the door, and I haven't pasted other places yet." Wei Ran said with a smile.

His hands were cold, and he wanted to put them in his pockets, but he was reluctant to let go of Wei Ziqi, his hands were wrapping around his arms.

Wei Ziqi directly wrapped her hands in his palms. Although Wei Ziqi got off the car and stood outside for a while, Wei Ziqi's warm hands became cold, but they were still much warmer than Wei Ran's.

The hands were wrapped in his big hands, and the warmth gradually radiated from his palms, and spread to her hands continuously.

Although this warmth is not enough to warm her frozen hands, Wei Ran is very content.

Wei Ziqi wrapped hers with one hand and put them in his coat pockets on both sides.

At this moment, Wei Mingli opened the trunk, and the driver helped him take out large and small boxes from it.

Wei Ran saw that it was all fireworks.

Except for the years when fireworks and firecrackers were banned, Wei Ziqi and Wei Minghao would buy some fireworks and set them off every year.

In recent years, due to the increasingly serious smog in Baishi City, the two of them did not buy a bunch of them like before, until the car couldn't fit in the space. They just bought two or three for fun.

Otherwise, if there are no fireworks during the New Year, I always feel that something is missing.

"Buying fireworks again?" Wei Ran tilted his head slightly, looking over from Wei Ziqi's side.

I didn't buy many, I only bought three, one extra large and two small ones.

"Come on, go inside, it's cold outside." Wei Ziqi said, "Wear gloves next time when you come out."

"Wearing gloves to stick Spring Festival couplets is not good!" Wei Ran explained.

When the three of them entered the house, Wei Ziqi and Wei Minghao also smelled the strong aroma of marinade.

"Don't tell me, I don't usually eat this kind of meat, but it's really craving to marinate these meats during the Chinese New Year. I think about it especially at this time." Wei Ziqi smiled, and pulled Wei Ran into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, the stir-fry area was occupied by Chang Xianbin, so Aunt Fu and Xiao Lian set up a stall in the cold dish area.

On the desk, there is a cutting board, making pasta.

The proportions of water, eggs, sugar, milk, etc. in it are all adjusted by Chang Xianbin, and it is enough to leave it to Aunt Fu and Xiaolian to make it into shape.

After all, Chang Xianbin only has one person and one pair of hands, so he is too busy with so many things.

And although Aunt Fu is not a certified chef, she has not lost her old craftsmanship from the folk.

Make these pastries into various shapes.

Peaches, dyed with the color picked out by the juice squeezed out of the vegetables.

Hedgehogs use scissors to cut thorns on the dough one by one, and use mung beans as eyes.

There are also steamed buns stuffed with dates on the surface, and sweet glutinous rice inside.

Aunt Fu and Xiao Lian were chatting and doing things at the same time, and they were quite harmonious.

Wei Ran glanced at the pastry, then turned back to look at the lo mei she was most interested in, just in time to see Chang Xianbin turn off the fire.

"Okay?" Wei Ran's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"Well, miss, wait a minute, I'll cut a piece for you." Chang Xianbin said.

"It's good to just cut such a small piece." Wei Ran said with a big smile, gesturing with his fingers.

Chang Xianbin cut off a piece of meat with beef tendon that Wei Ran wanted to eat earlier, and put it on a plate.
