Chapter 34

After returning home and resting for a while, he waited for Qi’s mother to return home.

“Are you back?”

“Why didn’t you stay in town for a while? Sisi hasn’t been out for a while, right?”

Zhao Xingyu replied with a smile, “I walked around for a while, but I was in a hurry to take my documents home, so I didn’t stay long.”

“If Sisi wants to walk around, she can go anytime.”

He said this while looking at Qi Sisi.

“Is it done?”

Qi’s mother looked happy and stretched out her hand and said, “Let me see it, how about taking a photo?”

Zhao Xingyu took out the marriage certificate, a red vertical book.

When I opened it, it looked a bit like a certificate.

On the left side are the names, ages, and native places of the man and woman, and below are printed “This certificate is issued for voluntary marriages that have been examined and found to be in compliance with the provisions of the People’s Republic of China on marriage.”

On the right side is a photo of the married couple, with a red seal underneath.

Looking at the marriage certificate, Qi’s mother finally felt relieved. “Okay, just get it! Live a good life in the future!”

The look in her eyes when she looked at Zhao Xingyu at this moment was even more affectionate.

From now on, this will be her son-in-law for sure, and she doesn’t have to worry about any more twists and turns.

“Yes, Mom!”

Zhao Xingyu was equally excited.

With the marriage certificate, his and Sisi’s marriage is protected by law.

“But why is your wedding photo different from the others?” Looking at the two people in black suits and white wedding dresses, Qi’s mother felt a little awkward. “They looked so good in military uniforms and red skirts, but with all this…”

The couple looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

Anyway, my mother is just complaining about it. What has happened is a foregone conclusion and nothing can be changed.

“Mom, what are we having for lunch?”

Zhao Xingyu changed the subject.

Qi’s mother thought for a moment and replied, “We have half a cured chicken at home. Let’s stew it with potatoes. Do you want to eat it?”

Qi Sisi thought of the fish she bought on the way back and quickly raised her hand, “Mom, I bought a fish and want to stew some fish soup for Xingyu to nourish him.”

“Can you stew it?”

Qi’s mother looked at her with suspicion.

“Hehe, mother, who are you looking down on!”

She used to be doted on by her parents and had almost never had to do housework until she married into the Han family in her previous life. She was forced by Han’s mother to learn housework. Now her cooking level is average, if not that of a chef.

“I believe Sisi.”

Zhao Xingyu looked at her with a doting smile and ruffled her hair.

Qi’s mother coughed lightly. Her son-in-law had blind trust in her daughter!

Young people are like this, blinded by love.

“Okay, then I’ll watch you do it later.”

Qi’s mother decided that she couldn’t let her daughter poison the son-in-law she had been waiting for so long.

“Mom, you look down on me!”

Qi Sisi pouted.

Mother didn’t believe her.

“You still have some self-awareness.”

Qi’s mother looked at her with an indescribable look in her eyes.

My daughter has rarely been to the kitchen since she was a child. She prepares meals for us at home, and there are canteens in the army and school when she goes out. She doesn’t need to do anything by herself. Even burning firewood is difficult for her. Now she suddenly wants to stew fish soup. How can she not worry?

Don’t let the kitchen be burned down…

The more Qi’s mother thought about it, the more worried she became. After washing the rice and cooking it, she stood aside and watched Qi Sisi’s actions.

Even Zhao Xingyu leaned against the door frame and watched curiously.

Qi Sisi held back her anger and decided to do her best to make a pot of delicious fish soup to dazzle their eyes!

What I bought was sea bass.

It has no thorns and weighs two and a half kilograms, quite big.

Qi Sisi felt it was a pity to use it to make soup, and after thinking for a moment, she came up with a new idea.

First, I scraped off the scales, trimmed the fins and tail, then I cut the fish in half from the back with a knife, and then peeled off the fish bones.

Soon, a huge sea bass turned into two large pieces of fish meat and a fish skeleton with a fish head.

“Sisi, what are you doing?”

Qi’s mother couldn’t understand what she was doing. She just thought her daughter’s movements were very neat, as she could cut a fish into pieces so quickly.

“It’s a pity to use such a big fish only to make soup.”

Qi Sisi smiled, revealing her small white teeth, and then said, “I’ll use the fish bones to make soup, and then cook the fish slices as well. This way it will be more convenient to eat.”

Qi’s mother and son-in-law exchanged glances, and both were a little confused.

“Sisi, where did you learn this method?”

Qi Sisi blinked.

Of course, I learned this from video software in later generations.

But, this is an answer that cannot be given.

“I saw it in a book. Nowadays, there are some recipe books that teach people how to cook various local specialties. They are quite interesting.”

Qi’s mother breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that her daughter would say that she learned it from the boy named Han…

“It’s quite delicate. It’s amazing that you can do it so well on your first time killing fish.” Qi’s mother sighed; her daughter has grown up.

Zhao Xingyu’s eyes lingered on the hands holding the kitchen knife for a moment, recalling her skillful and smooth movements just now…

“Is this Sisi’s first time killing a fish?”

Qi’s mother answered casually, “Yes, I never dared to let her do it before. I didn’t expect my daughter to be so good!”

Qi Sisi didn’t pay attention to their conversation and started to slice the fish attentively.

For thick fish meat, cut it into 5 mm thin slices without cutting through the fish skin, and then cut it again. In this way, the two pieces of fish meat can be connected together through the fish skin.

When it is released, the visual effect will be more beautiful.

Soon, the fish was processed.

“You didn’t learn it by yourself, did you?”

Qi’s mother clicked her tongue. This was not a level that a beginner could achieve.

Qi Sisi laughed loudly and said arrogantly: “How can I have the time to learn? Admit it! I am your daughter a genius. I am good at everything I learn!”

Zhao Xingyu was amused and ignored the messy thoughts in his mind.

The staple food is white porridge.

The dishes include fried eggs with green onions and stir-fried pork slices with soy sauce.

There is also fish fillet soup made by Qi Sisi.

The pot was full of pure white soup, the taste was delicious, and the fish slices were thin and tender, which drew Qi’s father’s endless praise.

“This fish doesn’t have any fishy smell, and you don’t need to pick out the bones. It’s very convenient to eat!”

“Yes, our Sisi is really amazing. She has learned how to cook. I made this fish soup today because I was thinking about nourishing Xiao Zhao’s body.” Qi’s mother smiled lovingly.

My daughter has a good relationship with her son-in-law. I think she will be able to hold her grandson soon, right?

Qi’s father paused with his chopsticks and suddenly thought of something.

“This dish is suitable for wounded soldiers.”

Qi’s father looked at his daughter and said, “Sisi, if you are free in the next two days, how about going to the hospital to instruct the chef in the canteen to make this dish?”

“Ah!”

Qi Sisi opened her mouth slightly, with a look of surprise.

How can she give any guidance when her level is so mediocre…

Zhao Xingyu looked at the novel fish soup, then at his wife, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips. “Sisi, Dad’s idea is good, what do you think?”

“I…” Qi Sisi hesitated, “Can I really do it?”

Finally, with the encouragement of her family, Qi Sisi agreed to the job.

If nothing else, if we can help those injured soldiers, it can be considered as a small contribution to the motherland!
