Chapter 205: old colleague 1
Jiang Cheng smiled and explained awkwardly, "No, I'm not married yet!"
"That's your partner? Isn't that a younger brother and sister after getting married?" Qian Hongwei said with a smile.
Jiang Cheng explained again embarrassedly, "Majestic, no, she is only my friend now, not my object."
Qian Hongwei looked embarrassedly at Jiang Cheng and then at Zhao Xiulan, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood and thought you were dealing with someone!"
Jiang Cheng thought to himself, but he did, and he had to see if Zhao Xiulan could agree.
At this time, Zhang Hongmei, Qian Hongwei's daughter-in-law, held two enamel jars with brown sugar water in them, and greeted Zhao Xiulan and Jiang Chengdao, "Drink your water first, are you tired of walking so much?"
"Thank you sister-in-law!"
Jiang Cheng and Zhao Xiulan took the brown sugar water and drank it.
I was really thirsty right now, and they weren't polite.
Qian Hongwei greeted Zhang Hongmei, "Hongmei, hurry up and get ready to cook. My old colleague is here. It's a rare occasion, so you should be treated well."
Jiang Cheng said, "Sister-in-law, do whatever you want. I would have caused you trouble if you came here. My own people, don't be too polite."
Qian Hongwei glared at Jiang Cheng with a straight face, "What's wrong with this? You came here after such a hard time, and you mustn't treat you badly."
Zhang Hongmei smiled and said, "Yeah, it's a rare visit, so I have to prepare as much as possible.
Even the meat tickets for this month have been used up, and there is no meat dish to serve.
Fortunately, I still have a few eggs at home, so I made them. "
Zhang Hongmei said, and went to the kitchen to get busy.
Jiang Cheng couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
"Okay, don't think there's anything wrong with it. I think I've taken advantage of it. Look at how many good things you brought to my house this time?"
Qian Hongwei patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder and sighed.
Zhao Xiulan saw that she was sitting next to the two big men and couldn't speak, so she went to the kitchen and helped Zhang Hongmei cook.
When Zhang Hongmei saw Zhao Xiulan coming over, she hurriedly said, "Sister, how can I help you? You are a guest, so how can you trouble the guest? You should go sit and rest for a while, sister-in-law can come alone."
"Sister-in-law, it's okay. I can't get in when they talk. I'm still in a hurry to sit and have nothing to do. You can accompany me to say a few words with us."
Seeing Zhao Xiulan say this, Zhang Hongmei nodded.
Indeed, it is very boring to sit alone, and they are all women who can say a few words.
Zhang Hongmei's family is similar to that of Aunt Chen's, they both use coal stoves for cooking.
The vegetables were bought by Zhang Hongmei this morning. They are still fresh, and they are all vegetables at the moment.
Leeks, beans, spinach, potatoes, green peppers, and cabbage.
Zhang Hongmei pondered that Jiangcheng came over today, and the cooking must not be too shabby. Unfortunately, there is no meat, and there are only a few eggs at home.
Zhang Hongmei fried a plate of leeks, a plate of water spinach, a stewed vermicelli with cabbage, and a shredded potato with green peppers.
The eggs are chopped and fried together with green peppers, and the green peppers are served with rice.
As for the staple food, the family is full of coarse grains. Jiang Cheng brought something today, and Zhang Hongmei rolled the noodles with the flour that Jiang Cheng brought.
These days, refined grains are rare, and flour noodles are also rare.
Just ordering such good things, Zhang Hongmei didn't keep herself to eat later, and brought out a lot to entertain Jiang Cheng and Zhao Xiulan.
Because there are no meat dishes, Zhang Hongmei deliberately put a little more oil when cooking, so that it tastes more oily and watery.
