"Ah Che, you're lucky. Your sister-in-law will come over to take care of you. You don't have to go to Jingcui Garden with us to eat in the future."
Han Qin said with a hint of sourness that he had never thought that Pei Che, who had never been interested in women, would be the first one among them to get married. But it was also true that Pei Che only didn't have any interest in women, but he never said that he didn't have any interest in men.
"Don't call him sister-in-law. Just call him Brother Jiang as before." Pei Che was very happy at what he said, but he did not forget to correct Han Qin's way of addressing him.
Han Qin winked at He Chen, signaling him to see how protective Pei Che was now. He Chen smiled and nodded at him. A Che's changes were obvious to all. This should be the difference between those who have a family and those who don't, right
"By the way, A Miao said that we just moved to the back mountain, and it is reasonable to warm up the house. He asked me to invite you to have dinner together tonight." Pei Che didn't know that they were laughing at him behind his back, so he just told them what Jiang Miao had told them.
"It would be disrespectful to decline Brother Jiang's invitation. A'che, you go back first. We'll make some preparations and then come over to bother you together." Han Qin said immediately. Just from the side dishes, it was clear that Jiang Miao was a good cook. Who knew what he would cook for everyone tonight
With great expectations, Han Qin, He Chen and Su Jin came to the back mountain with the prepared gifts and found Pei Che's house by following the number plate on the door.
Han Qin took a step forward and knocked on the door with his fingers bent. Almost instantly, the door was opened a crack, but strangely, there was no one behind the door.
The three were a little surprised. Before they could ask, they heard a voice coming from below. They looked down and realized that the person who had just opened the door was a child.
"Are you guys friends of Brother Che?"
"Yes, we were invited by A Che to come and congratulate him." He Chen said with a smile. The person in front of him should be Pei Che's brother-in-law.
"Then come in!" Little Stone opened all the doors and warmly invited the guests in.
After the three people entered the door, Xiao Shitou closed the door and even stood on tiptoe to insert the bolt. It can be said that he has a strong sense of protection.
"Come on, take a seat." Pei Che sat at the table in the main room, writing something with a brush in his hand. When he saw them coming, he just raised his head and greeted them casually. Indeed, with their relationship, there was no need to say polite words.
"Ache, are you writing?" Han Qin asked hesitantly. He looked around. This was clearly a place to eat. When did Ache become so unrefined
"Nonsense." Su Jin said coldly. The scene before him was clear at a glance. Was there any need to ask
Han Qin glared and was about to retort when Jiang Miao came in from outside with a tray in his hand. On the tray were three or four snacks, both sweet and salty, which catered to everyone's taste.
"Everyone is here. It's really rude of me not to go out to greet you. Please sit down. It's still a while before dinner. Have some snacks first to fill your stomach." Jiang Miao saw them standing together around the table and hurriedly greeted them, "Ache, take your things away quickly. We need to put something on the table."
Pei Che hummed, and quickly cleaned up the table, putting the papers and ink cartridges on the table aside. When he was done, he picked up a piece of cloth and wiped the table.
This set of movements was so smooth that the three of them were stunned. Pei Che, on the other hand, was completely unaware of it and asked them in a puzzled tone why they didn't sit down.
The three of them sat down quickly, and then they realized that the thing in their hands had not been given away. They wanted to give it to Pei Che, but in the end, it was handed over to Jiang Miao by some strange coincidence.
As soon as Jiang Miao left, Han Qin immediately spoke up: "Ache, when did you learn all this?"
Han Qin was speechless. Indeed, this was something everyone could do. But why did he feel a little awkward when it came to Pei Che
Pei Che ignored his thoughts, poured tea for everyone, and invited everyone to eat. His behavior was very much like that of a male host, and his hospitality was perfect.
The portions of these snacks are not large, and no matter whether they are sweet or savory, they can stimulate everyone's taste buds and make everyone look forward to the upcoming dinner.
After night fell, the table was soon filled with delicious dishes one after another. They had seen these dishes before, but Jiang Miao's cooking made them feel as if they had never eaten this dish before, and it was so delicious.
On the way back, Han Qin felt a little emotional. If he could eat such meals every day, then helping with the work would not seem so unbearable.
"My dear brother, you... are the family of Master Pei, right?"
Jiang Miao sent his two children to a private school, and on the way back, he suddenly heard someone asking this question. He turned around and saw that it was a woman in her forties or fifties who was talking. The woman was dressed simply, carrying a basket in her hand and a bun on her head. She looked simple and neat, and people felt friendly at first sight.
"It's me. My last name is Jiang Miao. I just moved here two days ago. May I know what your name is, aunt?" Jiang Miao stopped and waited for her to come forward.
"My last name is Luo, you can just call me Aunt Luo."
"Hello, Aunt Luo, you've come just in time. I just happened to want to ask you something." Jiang Miao waited for her to come closer and glanced at her basket. It was obvious what he wanted to ask. The food they had brought from the foot of the mountain in the past two days was all they had brought, and it was almost gone.
Aunt Luo smiled and said, "You want to ask me where to buy vegetables, right?"
"Yes, yes, I walked around these two days, but I didn't find anywhere to buy things. Do I have to go down the mountain to buy things every day?" Jiang Miao had just come here, and when others went to school, he walked around, thinking of getting familiar with the environment first.
"That's not necessary." Aunt Luo said, "The vegetables eaten by the people in the back mountain are all bought by the staff of the Imperial College. You just need to pay some money to the people in the canteen, and they will put the vegetables in one place, and you can go there every day to get them."
As she spoke, Aunt Luo showed Jiang Miao what was in her basket. There was a piece of pork, a fish, and some seasonal vegetables. It looked pretty good.
"This is quite convenient. But, do we get to decide the dishes ourselves, or do we just eat whatever they buy?" Jiang Miao asked. It can't be the same dishes every day, right
"Generally speaking, we eat whatever is sent. If there is a dish that we particularly want to eat, we can give them some money and ask them to bring it up." Aunt Luo explained it very clearly.
"I understand. Thank you, Aunt Luo." Jiang Miao thanked her with a smile.
"What's there to thank for? We'll be neighbors in the future, it's no big deal." Aunt Luo said. She was a warm-hearted person and almost every family had been taken care of by her when they first moved in.
