“I can learn by watching!”
Su Xiyue said, took out her tablet and started searching for tutorials.
"Then leave it to you."
Gu Qing nodded and started to get busy again.
Su Xiyue's eighteenth birthday was divided into two stages.
The first stage was a family dinner lunch with only the four of them.
The second stage was eating at a restaurant outside with Su Xiyue’s classmates and friends.
Su Changqin and Gu Yuan will not appear at this stage, leaving all the space to the young people.
In order to prepare a family dinner, Gu Qing started to get busy in the morning.
This meal couldn't be too simple, so Gu Qing basically gave it his all and used his best skills.
Looking at the delicious food that was gradually cooked in the pot, the girl who had been staying by Gu Qing's side couldn't help but say:
"It smells so good, Gu Qing, can I try it first?"
"can."
It is quite common sense to taste the food to determine its saltiness when cooking.
Gu Qing picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat from the pot, and blew on it.
But the scene that Su Xiyue imagined of feeding the food to her mouth did not happen.
Gu Qing put the piece of meat into a clean small bowl and handed it to Su Xiyue.
"There are only four of us in this family, where do all these unused empty bowls come from?"
Su Xiyue secretly complained in her heart, but still obediently stuffed the meat into her mouth.
Today's feeding PLAY failed!
"How does it taste? Do you need further emphasis?" Gu Qing asked.
He knew that Su Xiyue had a strong taste.
"very good!"
Su Xiyue gave a thumbs up and said:
"The food Gu Qing cooks is always just to my taste!"
"As long as you like it."
Gu Qing shook his head. As the only cook in the family and the absolute owner of the kitchen, he was already familiar with the eating preferences of his family members.
61. Su Xiyue's 18th Birthday (Two in One)
Boiled shrimp and stir-fried broccoli are two dishes with lighter flavors that Su Changqin likes.
Stir-fried beef with green and red peppers and mapo tofu are more to Su Xiyue's taste.
When Gu Yuan worked three part-time jobs in the past, he developed a minor illness, a weak spleen and stomach, and therefore did not like cold food.
Gu Qing specifically cooked a bowl of cordyceps flower chicken soup and stir-fried a sweet and sour pork tenderloin.
There are shrimps and meat, and of course fish is indispensable.
The last dish that Gu Qing brought to the table was a steamed grouper.
Tiger grouper is a type of grouper. It is a top-quality edible fish with high economic value.
However, this one is artificially bred, and is not as exaggerated as the wild ones.
Leaders, in order to better control their subordinates, usually display official authority and act in an airy manner.
Over time, this arrogance has been integrated into daily life, and sometimes it is the same even at home.
After Gu Qing sat down next to Gu Yuan and opposite Su Xiyue, Su Changqin picked up the goblet and said:
"Today is Xiyue's eighteenth birthday. I'm glad our family can get together to celebrate. Let's toast!"
Afterwards, the family of four clinked their wine glasses.
It was not until the sour wine entered his mouth and the heavy tannins spread in his mouth that Gu Qing suddenly reacted.
Su Changqin's words sounded like a speech.
After raising their glasses and drinking, they did not start eating immediately.
Su Changqin nodded at Su Xiyue again and said, "Xiyue, you are the protagonist today and you are an adult now, so you should say a few words as well."
"Okay, Mom."
Su Xiyue responded and then looked at the two people across the table.
First was her stepfather, whom she called “Uncle Gu.”
I still remember that when the two met for the first time, Uncle Gu was having a pleasant conversation with her mother in a cafe.
It was a very accidental meeting.
At first she didn't think of her mother's second spring.
After all, my biological father has passed away for several years, but my mother has never shown any intention of finding a new love.
It was not until the second time, when she saw her mother holding an umbrella for the other person, that she suddenly thought of this possibility.
"Were you angry at that time?"
Su Xiyue asked herself this in her heart.
Then he shook his head in self-denial.
She was not angry, she just felt a little complicated at that time.
She still remembers her father's last words before he died. The last words were:
"Take good care of your mother. Although she is very strong, she can be very stubborn sometimes. You need to soften her down, or she will make a mistake one day..."
Su Xiyue, who was in junior high school at that time, had already become a sensible person.
She engraved her father's instructions deeply in her heart.
For this reason, she was not disgusted by Gu Yuan's appearance, but just needed time to accept it.
Later, Su Xiyue discovered that although her mother came home later and later, she smiled more and more often.
The mother, who was always intimidating without getting angry and was as consistent at home as she was at the office, gradually became gentler.
She knew who deserved the credit.
It was for this reason that she began to accept Gu Yuan.
Not for anything else, just for her biological father's instructions and her mother's gentleness.
After they officially formed a family, Su Xiyue had a new understanding of Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan is a contradictory person.
When he was strong, he was able to withstand the pressure and difficult life with his only son without fear of hard work.
When he was soft, he would always stay obediently in Su Changqin's arms, with a lazy smile on his face, and even act like a coquettish child.
But it is such a contradictory person who has an unexpectedly good temper and never gets angry at anyone.
It was this kind of person who nurtured Gu Qing, a "lady from a noble family" in an unimaginable way.
"First of all, thank you Uncle Gu, thank you for liking my mother."
Su Xiyue raised her glass, toasted to Gu Yuan, and said sincerely:
"My mother has been a leader for a long time, and she likes to put on airs no matter what she does. Please be more tolerant of her in the future!"
After saying that, Su Xiyue took a sip of the wine in the glass.
There weren't many opportunities like this to openly criticize her in front of her mother, and Su Xiyue really enjoyed it.
Su Changqin on the side watched the scene with a smile.
After all, my daughter learned some ways of dealing with people from Qingqing.
Just looking at those two sentences, on the surface he was criticizing her, but in fact he was defending her and at the same time he was also helping Yuan.
"I'm becoming more and more like you..."
Su Changqin thought of her late husband and felt filled with emotion.
On the other side, Su Xiyue's eyes had already fallen on Gu Qing.
This handsome young man in front of her, who can cook a table full of delicious dishes, has complex multiple identities in Su Xiyue's eyes.
He is an alumnus, the unattainable top student in the grade, and the aloof flower on the mountain top.
He is the younger brother of a reconstituted family, but he takes extra care of her in life.
Rather than being a younger brother, Gu Qing is more like an older brother who takes care of her, educates her, and guides her, both in character and behavior.
It’s not like Su Xiyue has never been curious about the opposite sex.
I even had a vague affection for some people of the opposite sex.
But her mother and father's education made her know the limits, so even when facing the opposite sex she likes, she will just observe silently first.
As she observed, she discovered from a bystander's perspective that the man was not what she had imagined.
The so-called liking is sometimes more like an impulse under specific circumstances.
Later, my mother met Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu brought Gu Qing with him.
This man is the dream man of most girls in the school, an absolutely unattainable and cold fairy.
Su Xiyue initially had an attitude of admiration towards Gu Qing, as well as some inevitable fantasies that adolescent girls could not avoid.
She liked looking at Gu Qing's little feet, with their round soles and green toes.
She likes the way Gu Qing looks when she wears little white socks. Her skin, which is partly visible, always makes her feel itchy.
But this kind of liking is merely a lust for the opposite sex.
"So when did it change?"
The girl asked herself this.
Perhaps it was the other party's vague sense of distance and proper sense of propriety that aroused her curiosity.
As they got to know each other more and more, she discovered that this aloof male god also had an extremely cute side.
While cooking in her apron, she would occasionally hum an unknown tune.
I like to drink tea and read books on the balcony, appreciating the moonlight, but I never express my emotions.
He doesn’t know how to use skin care products, and even like girls, he can’t recognize all the types of cosmetics.
She is obviously too beautiful and has a very graceful figure.
But he never shows off like other boys. Instead, he dresses very conservatively.
It is only at home that she reveals more, which often gives her a feast for the eyes.
Gu Qing is not vain at all, and he seems to have no interest in any luxury goods.
The expensive pendant that was chosen by his mother and given to Gu Qing personally was never worn by Gu Qing to show off.
There was never any decoration on his beautiful, slender, and tender wrist.
The hairstyle is so simple, and the hair tie only comes in black and red, with the red color added as a last resort.
The word "simple" is absolutely appropriate to describe Gu Qing.
But Gu Qing's character is more than just simplicity.
A lady from a noble family, a good husband and a good father, these are the labels that describe him.
