Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Qiu Jiashu's wedding is scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival on September 11th.

On September 6, Qiu Moshi drove back to Jiayang from Beijing, accompanied by Zhang Weijing and his girlfriend.

Qiu Huaixin and his family returned to Jiayang on September 8. As soon as they entered the house, sister-in-law Liu Xiaomei put Dabao in her mother-in-law's arms and immediately went into the kitchen to get busy.

Qiu Luming was reading in his bedroom when he heard his mother say in a low, hesitant voice, "Mei, I will definitely compensate you in a few years. Don't find fault with my parents. We are not partial, we are just forced by the situation."

Liu Xiaomei lowered her voice, "Mom, I understand. Huaixin and I got married in the 1980s. The conditions at that time were not like that. There was nothing to buy even if we wanted to spend money. Besides, I am small and the Fang family gave me a lot of dowry. If our family still follows the standards of Huaixin and me, it would be too embarrassing. Don't worry, mom, I am not that ignorant."

"Hey, I feel much more relieved with your words."

"Mom, we are the eldest son and daughter-in-law, and we should have stayed to take care of you two. But now we have to go to Harbin for work. Huaixin is very busy at work, and the journey is so long that he may not come back once a year. We feel really ashamed. Usually it is Jiashu who takes care of you and fulfills the filial piety for us and Moshi, so mom and dad should give them more! Huaixin and I are also going to give Jiashu some more gifts."

"Good boy! Mom was right about you. With a sister-in-law like you, the four families of you brothers and sisters will definitely live in harmony in the future! Now your father and I are not old enough to need someone to take care of us. If you want to go out and try your luck, just go out! Don't worry about us."

Liu Xiaomei laughed after hearing this, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really don't know who it was that cried while hugging Huai Xin when we moved!?"

"It's not me anyway!"

"Okay, it's not you, it's not you. By the way, mom, does Lu Ming have a partner? She's 21 years old now, so she can find someone to date. After dating for two or three years, when she gets to know him well, it's just right for her to get married."

"No, I'm concentrating on learning Russian, so I'm not looking for one."

"It won't affect my studies." Liu Xiaomei couldn't help but chuckle when she thought of her and her husband's early love. "If it was in middle school, it would still have affected me a little."

"You were all very obedient back then, but not anymore. Luming won't listen, so I can only go along with her. Besides, there isn't a suitable young man in Jiayang. Mei, keep an eye out for him in Harbin. If there's a man with similar qualifications, introduce one to her. But it'd be better if it's not a doctor. I've never had a good night's sleep in my life. People would often come and knock on the door in the middle of the night to call for emergency treatment from your father, so I would wake up at the slightest sign of trouble.

It’s better to choose someone with good character, good temper and good company. Anyway, I can’t let Lu Ming suffer this again! "

"Humph!"

"What are you humming about? You made the choice a long time ago, so whether it's banging on the door or the midnight bell, you have to bear with it!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted endlessly in whispers. Qiu Luming rubbed his ears and went to read his book.

The Qiu family's dining table was finally full again, and He Manshu was sincerely happy.

Because Zhang Weijing and his girlfriend were there, He Manshu did not impart life experience at the dinner table. Instead, she ate slowly while listening to her sons discuss things, looking particularly satisfied.

There were two plates of the same steamed silver carp on the table, each weighing about two pounds. One of the plates was in front of Qiu Luming. She ate several mouthfuls in one breath and gave her sister-in-law a thumbs up.

The three brothers were discussing the wedding convoy. The lead car must be the white Crown driven by the third brother. The most important thing is that the license plate must be from Beijing, making it more unique.

When Qiu Luming heard that the car was driven back by his third brother and Zhang Weijing, he was very impressed. "You guys really tried your best just to make your second brother proud."

Qiu Jiashu immediately raised his glass and thanked Zhang Weijing.

Zhang Weijing groaned, "Aren't cars bought for people to drive? If you don't drive it back to show off, then it's like walking in the night in fancy clothes, right?"

Qiu Moshi also smiled and nodded, "I said I was trying to save face for my second brother, but in fact it was my vanity that got the better of me."

Fang Yuan couldn't help but ask, "How much does your company's car cost?"

Zhang Weijing stretched out his hand and made the number eight.

Fang Yuan was puzzled for a moment, "It can't be that cheap, right?"

Zhang Weijing's girlfriend Sun Ning chuckled, "It's over 800,000 yuan."

"Eight hundred thousand?" Everyone was shocked.

"Is it made of gold?" Qiu Jiashu laughed, "I don't dare to use it after hearing its price."

"When we went to pick up my eldest sister-in-law, our family borrowed six motorcycles, which caused quite a stir. Now that conditions are better, we naturally want to pick up my second sister-in-law in a grand manner!" Qiu Moshi said with a smile.

"That's right!" Qiu Jiashu looked at Fang Yuan with a smile.

Fang Yuan smiled and thanked Qiu Moshi, "Then I'd like to thank you first. My family will come to Jiayang a day in advance and stay at the Grain Hotel. I will get married from the hotel. So it won't be too troublesome to pick up the bride."

"Okay, I'll drive and go pick you up with my second brother!"

"it is good!"

Here, Zhang Weijing tilted his head and asked Qiu Luming across from Sun Ning, "Little Luming, let me ask you, have you read Journey to the West?"

Qiu Luming was watching his brothers and sisters-in-law chatting happily. When he heard Zhang Weijing asking him, he said puzzledly, "Ah? Journey to the West? Doesn't the TV station broadcast it every holiday?"

"Then you must have watched it several times. Let me ask you, did you notice how the monsters planned to eat Tang Seng?"

Qiu Luming looked at Sun Ning in confusion. Sun Ning shrugged and curled his lips, indicating that he didn't know what was wrong with this guy.

Dabao shouted at the side, "Steam it and eat it!"

Zhang Weijing nodded, "Yes! Anything else?"

Qiu Luming recalled and said, "I remember that the rhino monster planned to fry it in oil, the leopard monster planned to chop it up, add some spices and fry it, and the rest, except for a few female monsters who planned to marry Tang Monk, most monsters seemed to plan to starve Tang Monk, then wash it and steam it for food.

So I have been wondering for years, if Tang Seng's meat is so precious, why didn't the monster eat it right away, but instead starved it for a few days, washed it, and steamed it, was it intentionally giving Sun Wukong time to rescue it?"

"You're looking very carefully!" Zhang Weijing pointed at the fine-scaled fish on the plate with a smile, "This kind of fish tastes extremely delicious. Steaming is the best way to preserve its freshness. My sister-in-law's skill in steaming fish is simply amazing!"

Liu Xiaomei waved her hands quickly, "Well, my cooking skills are half what I figured out, and half I learned from my mother!" She looked at He Manshu, indicating that the "my mother" she was referring to was not her mother from her natal family, but her mother-in-law.

Qiu Luming secretly praised his eldest sister-in-law for her ability to do things and speak well. His eldest sister-in-law was extremely respectful to her mother-in-law in front of Fang Yuan, praising her everywhere and doing more work. It was obvious that as the eldest sister-in-law, she was setting an example for her sisters-in-law.

Fang Yuan's personality is somewhat similar to Qiu Luming's, and she is also a straightforward person. She exclaimed, "What should I do? I don't have the brain to cook!"

Liu Xiaomei laughed, "I didn't know anything at first, but after I had a child, I learned everything."

"Oh." Fang Yuan nodded.

Qiu Jiashu looked at Fang Yuan with a smile, "Don't worry about her, sister-in-law, she will eat!"

Fang Yuan was so angry that he punched Qiu Jiashu.

Zhang Weijing ignored their quarrel and continued to say to Qiu Luming, "When I saw you and Fang Yuan eating fish, you both naturally went for the fish's eyes, then the fish's face and belly. I guess you two are the most favored girls in your family and you both know how to eat fish."

Qiu Luming looked at his mother in confusion, completely unaware of his habit of eating fish.

He Manshu smiled and said nothing.

Fang Yuan blushed and suddenly realized that she was no longer at her parents' home, but at her husband's home.

Qiu Jiashu patted her on the back twice and raised his chin to her, indicating that it didn't matter. Fang Yuan felt relieved and looked at Zhang Weijing with a smile, "Well, then what?"

Before Zhang Weijing could say anything, Sun Ning snorted, "Weijing, what do you want to say? I'm the only one who's not favored. What's the matter? I just like to eat the fish spine and fish tail!"

Zhang Weijing laughed, "Ningning, you think too much! I want to tell Xiaolu Ming'er that the monsters in Journey to the West eat Tang Seng in different ways. There are rules for that, which can reflect the different backgrounds of the monsters. Look at the monsters without backgrounds, such as the White Bone Monster was beaten to death by Sun Wukong, the Leopard Monster was beaten to death by Zhu Bajie with a rake, and several rhinoceros monsters died miserably, either being bitten to death or having their heads chopped off. And those Bodhisattvas' mounts and pets, the boys, were all taken away by their owners a long time ago.

This fish is only delicious when it is fresh and steamed. If it is old, it can only be braised or added with a lot of chili peppers. The requirements for ingredients can reflect a person's life background. To put it bluntly, the monsters learned to steam Tang Seng from their pampered masters, and those monsters who like to fry and chop are all wild, so Sun Wukong has no scruples and kills them directly. "

"What a show-off." Sun Ning muttered. Qiu Luming heard it clearly and wondered why the way this couple got along with each other seemed a little strange since they came to Jiayang.

Qiu Luming smiled and bowed to Zhang Weijing, "It turns out that there are so many details to be explored in Journey to the West. I only knew there were Redologists, but I didn't know there was a monkeyologist! I'm so sorry!"

Zhang Weijing laughed out loud after hearing this.

Qiu Moshi smiled and said, "Viking looks like a playboy. Actually, he... is really a playboy!"

Hahaha, everyone laughed.

"Look at him, he is unruly and cynical, like an uneducated person, but in fact..."

Everyone started laughing before they heard the next sentence.

"Actually, that's not true! He has a wide range of knowledge and a large collection of books at home." Qiu Moshi changed the subject and said, "Whenever he has time, he goes to the bookstores and book stalls in Liulichang to buy books. I heard that Lu Xun went to Liulichang to buy books more than 400 times. I'm afraid our Viking has been there at least 800 times!"

Zhang Weijing waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm so scared. My dad always says that I'm uneducated. I don't have perseverance or determination. I'm interested in everything. I'm good at everything, but not good at anything... Oh, I'm so embarrassed!"
