Gu Nianzhi’s body went numb from his bite. It was a little exciting, but also a little shy. Moreover, she and Huo Shaoheng had been very busy these past two months. Although they lived under the same roof, the number of times they saw each other could be counted on one hand.
Not only did Huo Shaoheng miss her, but she also missed him..
She put her arm around Huo Shaoheng’s neck. Gu Nianzhi kissed him on the lips and whispered,”… I’ll give you benefits tonight…”
Huo Shaoheng was only teasing gu nianzhi, but she had turned him on instead.
A simple sentence made his imagination run wild.
Huo Shaoheng’s eyes darkened. He simply hugged her and kissed her passionately for a long time before letting go of her. He said in a hoarse voice,”… collect some interest first.”
Gu Nianzhi’s face was red, and her voluptuous lips curled into a beautiful curve. She couldn’t suppress it no matter how hard she tried.
The two of them drove to the West Mountain Villa. It was already dark.
Red lanterns hung around the eaves of the villa, and there were a few persimmon trees planted near the wall of the courtyard. The orange-red persimmon fruits hung on the trees like small lanterns, which complemented the large lanterns.
When they got out of the car, Gu Nianzhi noticed that Huo Shaoheng was holding a bottle of wine in his hand. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was maotai.
She spread her hands in embarrassment. “I didn’t bring any gifts.”
“We’re husband and wife. If I bring it, you bring it.”Huo Shaoheng smiled as he held her hand and led her into the courtyard.
They rang the doorbell at the door. Before the door opened, they heard song Jinning’s laughter. “You’re finally here. If you don’t come soon, we’ll have to eat First!”
The door opened and song Jinning’s Fair and beautiful face appeared in front of the two of them.
Gu Nianzhi complimented her. “Miss Song, you’ve been in high spirits lately. You look younger every time I see you. If this goes on, we’ll really have to call each other sisters.”
Song jinning laughed heartily at her words.
Huo Shaoheng rubbed her head. “What are you talking about? Don’t be so rude.”
Gu Nianzhi shut her nose at him and gave him a lazy look that said, “What can you do to me?”.
Song Jinning was overjoyed to see her son and daughter-in-law acting so lovingly.
She took the maotai from Huo Shaoheng and said with a smile, “That’s great. The Buddha jumps over the wall with the MAOTAI. I’d be drunk if I didn’t drink it.”
“AH? President Lu prepared the Buddha jumps over the wall? !”Gu Nianzhi was pleasantly surprised. “No Wonder I smelled such a wonderful aroma the moment I walked in! I told you, the aroma of flowers and fruits can’t compare to the aroma of food!”
She then threw Huo Shaoheng aside and ran to the kitchen alone.
Huo Shaoheng looked at his hand that had been thrown aside.”…”
Song Jinning held back her laughter and pointed inside. “Professor Lu has already arrived. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Huo Shaoheng coughed lightly and said,”… Ms. Song, General Huo is also here today to celebrate the new year with the old man.”
Huo Guanchen’s private villa was in the West Mountains, but it was quite far away from Lu Yuan’s house.
Song Jinning’s smile faded a little as she walked towards the restaurant with the Maotai wine in her hand. She said, “Yes, celebrating the new year with my father is finally something worth celebrating.”
Huo Shaoheng sighed and said,”… celebrating the new year with the Zhang family.”
Song Jinning:”…”
She stopped smiling. “Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Huo Shaoheng had wanted to finish his New Year’s Eve dinner here, so he had brought gu nianzhi over to Huo Guanchen’s place to make an appointment.
They could settle their family grudges behind closed doors, but in front of outsiders, they still had to follow basic etiquette.
The Senate’s chief legal advisor was Gu Nianzhi, so there were a lot of people staring at her.
However, grandfather Huo felt that it was too cold and lonely, so he called the Zhang family to go to Huo Guanchen’s west mountain villa for the New Year.
This was intolerable.
Huo Shaoheng did not plan to visit grandfather Huo either, so he wished them a happy new year.
When they arrived at the living room, Huo Shaoheng looked around. “Where’s uncle Lu?”
“He’s in the dining room. Nianzhi should be in the dining room as well.”
Huo Shaoheng followed them to the dining room. Sure enough, Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin were already seated, waiting for Lu Yuan to bring the Buddha jumps over the wall.
Lu Jin was explaining to Gu Nianzhi how to eat the Buddha jumps over the wall soup.
“… you know that the Buddha jumps over the wall soup is stewed, and there are a lot of things in it, but it’s messy and not messy. It’s divided into many levels, so you have to be very careful when you eat it.”Lu Jin took out a special spoon to demonstrate, “See this? This buddha spoon is specially used to eat the Buddha jumps over the wall soup. You can take care of all the levels from top to bottom by scooping it into a bowl one scoop at a time.”
“Delicious food. You have to eat it together to get the special ingredients for Buddha jumps over the wall soup.”Lu Jin shook his head as if he had written a five-thousand-word essay on how to eat Buddha jumps over the wall soup scientifically.
Gu Nianzhi felt even hungrier when she heard this. She sighed and leaned back in her seat, saying, “Hurry up and serve the food! I’m so hungry that my stomach is cramping!”
Seeing this, Lu Jin quickly went to the kitchen to fiddle with it for a while. When he came out, he brought gu nianzhi a small sesame rice dumpling in a white jade porcelain bowl and said, “It’s cooked with osmanthus rice wine. Eat this first to cushion it.”
Gu Nianzhi especially loved glutinous things. Rice wine, rice dumpling, and rice noodles were all her favorites.
The rice wine that Lu Jin was talking about was in southern Chinese. In the north, it was called Mash. It was made from glutinous rice. After fermentation, it was sweet and sour. With a little dried osmanthus, it would nourish the little girl’s Qi and blood in the winter.
Gu Nianzhi felt as if she had just drunk a bowl of osmanthus rice wine glutinous rice balls. She breathed a sigh of satisfaction as if she had just come to life. She said, “It’s so delicious! Even the simple osmanthus rice wine glutinous rice balls are so tasty. President Lu’s cooking skills have reached a state of perfection!”
Lu Jin looked at his own tray and asked in puzzlement,”… how did you know it was boss Lu who cooked it? I was the one who brought it out, and I prepared the ingredients in it!”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and patted Lu Jin on the shoulder. She blinked and said playfully, “Dad, don’t struggle. I’ve inherited your talent in cooking, how can I not know your skills?”
Lu Jin was amused by her and pointed at her nose. “You’re so Naughty!”
As the two of them talked, Huo Shaoheng and song jinning helped Lu Yuan set the New Year’s Eve food and snacks on the table.
Gu Nianzhi quickly got up to help with the work.
She was in charge of disinfecting the bowls and chopsticks before placing them on the round dining table.
Because it was the new year, Lu Yuan put away the rectangular dining table and replaced it with the round dining table.
The Huaxia people were very particular about having a happy reunion.
A large jar of Buddha jumps over the wall soup was directly brought over and placed on the turntable in the middle, surrounded by Lu Yuan’s meticulously prepared dishes.
Huo Shaoheng brought over the Maotai he had brought over and filled it up for Lu Yuan, Lu Jin, and Song Jinning. He poured milk and coconut milk for Gu Nianzhi and only drank beer for himself.
Lu Yuan looked at him and asked with a smile, “Why doesn’t Shaoheng Drink Maotai?”
Huo Shaoheng’s expression did not change as he said, “Such good wine is of course for the elders. Nianzhi and I are juniors, so we won’t compete with the Elders.”
“Haha, Is That So?”Lu Yuan looked meaningfully at Lu Jin.
Like Gu Nianzhi, Lu Jin was completely engrossed in tasting today’s delicacies and wine.
The Buddha jumps over the wall was indeed delicious, but Lu Jin’s way of eating still made him a little tired of it.
The Mellow Maotai was just enough to relieve the boredom, and it also served as a foil to the several seafood dishes in the Buddha jumps over the wall. It could be said to be very good.
Lu Jin was eating happily, so he drank a little too much.
He had already passed out before the clock struck twelve on New Year’s Eve. Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng helped him away and sent him to the guest room to sleep.
Song Jinning was also a little drunk from eating. She propped her head on the dining table and looked at Gu Nianzhi with a smile.
Gu Nianzhi took the opportunity to whisper to song jinning, “Miss Song, can you do me a Favor?”
“What favor? Just tell me, as long as I can do it.”The drunk Miss Song had the air of a big sister.
Gu Nianzhi’s voice became softer and softer, “Miss song, can you let me call the other world? I want to Wish Young Master he a Happy New Year and say Happy New Year…”
