In the reception hall, as soon as Xu Huiying and Xue Zhenzhu entered, their eyes were a little exhausted. Even Huo Mingdong looked at them calmly. For a house in the countryside to be decorated like this, both vision and taste are indispensable. It is obvious that the clever mind is Yiben, of course, has to keep up with his financial capabilities.

Xue Zhenzhen said, "It's really warm in this room..."

It was freezing cold outside, and when they arrived, they all wore thick cotton-padded jackets. As soon as they came in, the heat hit their faces, and they couldn't wear scarves or hats anymore.

Zhao Yulian explained, "When this house was built, the adobe used was thick, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. Hongguo was willing to light the stove, so it kept the fire going all day long."

Can it not be warm? The temperature is as comfortable as spring.

Xue Zhenzhu looked at the fireplace and said with emotion, "This stove is very good, beautiful and practical..." After saying that, she turned to discuss with Huo Mingdong, "Let's put one in the house later, it's so exciting. "

Huo Mingdong was sitting on the sofa, chatting politely with Zhao Baoqing. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "This stove is good, you can use it as a reference."

Xu Huiying said, "I'm tempted by what you said."

"Then let's take one too."

"I already have two briquette stoves at home, which is too wasteful."

While they were talking, they took their seats. The men sat on the sofa, and the women sat on the bamboo chairs next to the fireplace. They were covered with thick cushions, which were nice and soft. On the coffee table in front of them, there were various kinds of things. Food and drink were grown, and the six empty spaces in the storage box were filled to the brim.

Sun Shuhong carried a white porcelain pot with red plum blossoms painted on it and poured tea for everyone. The fragrance of jasmine flowers spread faintly. There was also a pot of sweet soup boiling on the stove. There were several ingredients such as pear chunks and red dates in it. The ones with small bubbles are for children to drink.

Zhao Yulian usually likes to keep a straight face, but now she is smiling and letting the guests eat and drink. Her gentle attitude makes people who know her feel uncomfortable.

On the men's side, although Zhao Baoqing was an elder, he was a little reserved in front of Huo Mingdong, while Zhao Zhenhua, on the other hand, could still manage to talk a few words calmly.

In fact, Huo Mingdong has tried his best to control his aura and make himself appear easy-going and approachable, but there is no way. The nobility in his bones and the seriousness honed over many years in the army are difficult to completely conceal. He is here today. It's just a mascot. Xu Huiying is responsible for the recruitment.

Therefore, whenever he opens his mouth, the topic will revolve around the things in the production team, which can easily bring them closer to each other. It is not appropriate to talk about other things.

When the women got together, they had more to say, and the atmosphere became more lively. Soon they were laughing, and they were as close as long-lost sisters.

In the kitchen, Song Hongguo could vaguely hear some noises coming from the main room, but she wasn't worried that they wouldn't get along well. They were both polite people, so she would just try to be nice in this situation.

Huo Minglou was a little curious. He added firewood to the stove and chatted with her, "Tell me, what are they talking about?"

Song Hongguo joked, "How much do you have to give as a betrothal gift?"

Hearing this, Huo Minglou's eyebrows were filled with smiles, and he was a little proud, "Speaking of which, they chatted a little late. We have become a legal couple. Even if they can't agree, you are also my wife. , I am also your husband, and no one can change the result."

Song Hongguo glared at him and said, "Then it's okay."

Huo Minglou said softly, "I can't help but want to show off, show off to everyone that we are husband and wife, and no one can break it up."

Song Hongguo, "..."

It's better that he knows how to flirt and be willing to lose.

The two of them worked together until after eleven o'clock, and finally the two tables were arranged. The tables were placed in the main room. It was warm and spacious inside, making it very convenient to eat.

The children smelled the fragrance, and all of them stopped playing and ran over chasing each other. As a foodie, Huo Huaichen was the first to rush ahead. When he saw the dishes on the plate, he sniffed hard and his eyes widened. Yuan said, "Wow, this smells so good. Auntie is so amazing..."

Huo Huaixu couldn't help but praise, "My little aunt can cook all kinds of dishes."

There are mostly hard dishes on the table, and just looking at the appearance, they are no worse than those cooked by chefs in restaurants.

Both sons praised it so much. Xue Zhenzhu asked jokingly, "Do you think it tastes better than what your mother makes?"

Huo Huaichen said without thinking, "What's the point? Comparing your craftsmanship with that of my little aunt, that's..." There's a world of difference between these four words. He swallowed them back and changed them to, "It's just the same."

These words made everyone present laugh.

Xue Zhenzhu slapped him on the back of the head and scolded him with a smile, "Silly boy, I told you not to study normally. Is this how you use half a pound?"

Huo Huaichen giggled.

When children join in, the atmosphere becomes more lively.

There is a table for men, and a table for women and children. The dishes on each table are the same. However, there are more people on the women's table, so the portions of the dishes are larger. On the men's table for drinking, there is an extra dish of fried peanuts. .

"Come on, come on, use your chopsticks. Don't be polite. We are all serious relatives. We are not outsiders here at Hongguo. You can eat whatever you want..." Zhao Yulian greeted enthusiastically. She had asked others before, in the city People are very particular and don't like others serving them food. They say it's unhygienic, so she can only let them eat by themselves.

Sun Shuhong cooperated with her attentiveness just right, "One of you is the master's wife and the other is the sister-in-law. This relationship cannot be closer. When you come here, you are not visiting relatives. It is just like going back to your own home. Come and feel comfortable..."

Xue Zhenzhu said with a smile, "Okay, okay, you guys can eat too. Let's all try his aunt's cooking. His brother-in-law talks about it all day long. My two skinny monkeys ate it once and kept coming back." boast……"

Xu Huiying had already picked up a piece of mutton and ate it, nodding her head, "Don't blame them for boasting, it's really delicious. Lao Zhou is not satisfied with his taste. He is the best at braised mutton. Hahaha, I have to cook it well when I go back." Describe it to him and try to make him greedy."

Zhao Yulian took over and said, "It's easy to eat if you want. I'll have the red fruits made for you later. Director Zhou is a matchmaker for the couple, so I should thank you very much."

Xu Huiying laughed heartily, "Hahaha, if you have any other excuse, I'm really embarrassed to accept it. I can't refuse the matchmaker gift."

Song Hongguo just smiled and ate and drank the whole time. There was no need for her to speak at the table. Zhao Yulian and Sun Shuhong were enough. She could at most take care of the children and help pick out fish bones or something.

There were only four people at the man's table. After a few glasses of wine, they started talking more. Especially Zhao Baoqing, who felt a little less awkward and could finally chat with Huo Mingdong calmly. The two of them talked about going to the mountains to train. , and later talked about hunting in the mountains. Zhao Baoqing invited them to hunt wild boars in the mountains to improve the food for the troops. He kept saying that there were many rabbits in the mountains, and maybe they could encounter wild sheep if they went deeper.

Zhao Zhenhua and Huo Minglou were chatting about things in the factory, talking about work and gossiping. One was talkative and the other was cooperative, but they had a good time talking.
