The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

"Mom, sister-in-law? Why are you here?" Xia Haoyang opened the door and saw that his mother and sister-in-law, who should be far away in Vancouver, had already walked into his yard and came directly to the door of the living room.

"What are these? The flowers are quite beautiful." The sister-in-law was looking at the fruits and vegetables planted in the yard.

"They were all grown by Xiao Mengyan. I don't know what they are. I only recognize leeks, onions, peppers, cabbages, eggplants and so on. This saves us from buying them when cooking at home. Come in and sit down." Xia Haoyang made way to let his mother and sister-in-law in.

"It's quite interesting that you don't plant some rare flowers in your courtyard in such a high-end villa area in Yancheng, but choose to grow vegetables instead." The sister-in-law smiled.

When Xia Haoyang called out his mother and sister-in-law, Zeng Jingyi heard it and stood up from the sofa, but she couldn't believe that the two of them would really come all the way from Vancouver, so she just looked at them curiously.

When Mother Xia and Sister-in-law really walked into the living room, Zeng Jingyi greeted them with the same confusion: "Mom, Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"Not welcome?" said the sister-in-law with a smile.

"How is that possible? I'm just surprised. Didn't we talk on the phone at noon, saying that my second sister-in-law had given birth to a baby? How come you guys suddenly came to Yancheng?"

"It's because your second sister-in-law has given birth and she has people from her family to take care of her that I have time to visit my other pregnant daughter-in-law. Why are you still standing? Come on, sit down. I've wanted to come to Yancheng a few days ago, but I never had the time. Now I finally have time." While speaking, Mother Xia had already come to Zeng Jingyi's side, held her hand, and sat down together.

"Jingyi, have you had dinner?" Mother Xia asked kindly.

"It's still early, just a little past four o'clock. We usually start preparing dinner at seven o'clock, and we also had a late lunch today." Zeng Jingyi glanced at Xia Haoyang.

"That's great. I brought you some soup. Try it." Mother Xia was very happy. She took out a thermos cup from her luxury brand backpack and brought a small spoon with her.

Zeng Jingyi was a little surprised when she saw Mother Xia's actions, but she was also a little touched. She came all the way to see her and even prepared hot soup. There was no doubt that it was a carefully prepared delicacy.

"This is called noodle soup. Although it is not a very expensive ingredient, in Vancouver, as long as the daughter is pregnant, the mother will prepare "month soup" for her since ancient times. It contains six kinds of tonic ingredients, such as noodle, wheat wine, brown sugar, ginger, eggs, and salted fish, to regulate the daughter's body. Wheat wine is also known as mother wine in our local area. When I was in confinement, my mother prepared it in this way; when my mother was in confinement, my grandmother also prepared it in this way. This custom has never been broken in our Vancouver."

"Oh, but, but I am..." Zeng Jingyi was so moved that she felt silly.

"Are you trying to say that you are a daughter-in-law and not a daughter? You are such a silly girl. A daughter-in-law is the same as a daughter. As a mother-in-law, I don't have a daughter. You three daughters-in-law are my own daughters. Yu Rou drank the noodle soup I made when she was pregnant, and Nana drank it too. But you are in Yancheng now, and I don't even have the chance to make soup for you. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

"Well, it's delicious. There's a smell of wine in the soup." Zeng Jingyi started eating and drinking with big mouthfuls in front of everyone.

"Although the ingredients of the sha noodle soup are ordinary, the materials are quite particular. The ginger must be old ginger, chopped and fried with vegetable oil into ginger powder, which is spicy and fragrant. Mushrooms, shredded pork, dried shrimps, fried eggs, etc. are the main toppings. The best mother wine (malt wine) is the main ingredient of the soup base. Most sha noodle soups use old wine instead of soup. If old wine is not added to the sha noodle soup, it cannot be considered authentic Wenshi sha noodle soup." Mother Xia was very happy when she saw Zeng Jingyi drink up almost half of the soup in a thermos in a few gulps.

Zeng Jingyi doesn't look fat, but she actually has a lot of body, and her body shape gives people a feeling of being firm and fleshy, so Zeng Jingyi is even affectionately called Zhuangzhuang by her fans. In terms of diet, she is not as taboo as other artists, and she doesn't mind this high-fat, high-salt, or that high-calorie food, because she can ensure the amount of exercise, and she doesn't worry about body deformation and obesity caused by eating.

For elderly people like Mother Xia, it is a real joy to see their pregnant daughter-in-law eating with big mouthfuls. What these people hate most is that you don't eat anything and are picky for the sake of so-called thin beauty.

Why do wealthy mothers-in-law dislike women from the entertainment industry? Apart from other factors, their looks do not suit their aesthetic tastes.

Under the spotlight, the thinner the face, the easier it is to look photogenic, so famous female stars, especially those who look beautiful in ancient costumes, mostly have pointed chins and fairy faces. In reality, your face shape would be particularly prominent. Rich mothers-in-law do not like this "low-level" beauty. Most of them like women who are plump and rounder.

Zeng Jingyi's face is not very pointed, so she is not suitable for ancient costumes. Her whole body looks very strong and full of flesh, so in the eyes of Xia's mother, the third brother's daughter-in-law who is in the entertainment industry is pleasing to the eye.

In just a few minutes, Zeng Jingyi finished a thermos of noodle soup easily. She was still not satisfied after eating it and looked so adorable while licking her lips.

"I'm sorry, senior brother, I forgot you didn't eat a single bite. Mother Xia, do you have any more of this noodle soup? I ate it all, and senior brother didn't get to eat any." Zeng Jingyi remembered that her man didn't eat a single bite after she finished eating, and her expression looked a little apologetic.

Xia Haoyang said: "It's okay, I'm not very hungry."

Mother Xia had been admiring Zeng Jingyi's adorable appearance while eating. When she saw her finish a whole pot of food and even lick her lips, she was extremely happy.

Zeng Jingyi now apologized for eating the gauze noodle soup alone, and Mother Xia of course firmly stood on the side of her daughter-in-law: "The gauze noodle soup was originally made for you, Jingyi. You are pregnant, and it is used to nourish your body. He is not qualified to eat it, so why bother with him."

"What do you mean I'm not qualified? Without my participation, Jingyi can't get pregnant on her own. But I'm the one who has made great contributions." Xia Haoyang complained for himself.

"You have the nerve to say that when it comes to giving birth, apart from paying a few irresponsible little bucks, all the other sins are borne by women. I've been through it myself, and the ten months of pregnancy are not something you can imagine. It was extremely difficult to walk with a big belly, and even breathing was not smooth, and sleep was also affected. I still remember that when I was pregnant with you, I was woken up in the middle of the night by the urge to pee. I struggled to turn over and sit up from the bed, then leaned against the wall and moved my feet with difficulty. How could you men understand how helpless and tearful I looked at that time?" Mother Xia suddenly became a little emotional.
