Gu Nianzhi's body was numb from his bite. She was a little excited and shy. Moreover, she and Huo Shaoheng had been very busy for the past two months. Although they lived under the same roof, they had only seen each other a handful of times.
Not only did Huo Shaoheng miss her, but she also missed him …
Gu Nianzhi wrapped her arms around Huo Shaoheng's neck and kissed him on the lips. She whispered, "… I'll give you a treat tonight …"
Huo Shaoheng had only wanted to tease Gu Nianzhi, but he hadn't expected her to tease him instead.
A simple sentence had made his imagination run wild and he couldn't control himself.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes gradually darkened. He hugged her and kissed her passionately for a long time before letting her go. He said in a hoarse voice, "… I'll collect some interest first."
Gu Nianzhi blushed, and her plump lips curled into a beautiful arc. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't suppress it.
The two of them drove to the West Mountain Villa. It was already dark.
Big red lanterns hung around the eaves of the villa. There were a few persimmon trees planted against the wall in the courtyard. The orange-red persimmons hung on the trees like small lanterns that complemented the big lanterns.
After getting out of the car, Gu Nianzhi noticed that Huo Shaoheng was holding a bottle of wine in his hand. Upon closer inspection, it was actually Maotai.
She spread her hands in embarrassment. "I didn't bring a gift."
"We're husband and wife. If I bring it, then you bring it." Huo Shaoheng smiled as he took her hand and led her into the courtyard.
He rang the doorbell at the door. Before the door opened, he heard Song Jinning's laughter. "You're finally here. If you didn't come, we would have started first!"
The door opened, and Song Jinning's fair and gentle face appeared in front of the two of them.
Gu Nianzhi praised, "Ms. Song, you've been in high spirits recently. Every time I see you, you look younger. If this continues, we'll really have to call each other sisters."
Song Jinning was amused by her and laughed happily.
Huo Shaoheng rubbed her head. "What nonsense are you talking about? You're so rude. "
Gu Nianzhi sniffed at him with a mischievous look that said, "What can you do about me?"
Song Jinning was overjoyed to see her son and daughter-in-law's love.
She took the Maotai from Huo Shaoheng's hand and said with a smile, "That's great. Buddha jumps over the wall with Maotai.
"Ah? President Lu prepared 'Buddha jumps over the wall'?! "Gu Nianzhi was pleasantly surprised." No wonder I smelled such a delicious fragrance as soon as I entered! Like I said, all the fragrances of flowers and fruits can't compare to the fragrance of food! "
With that, she left Huo Shaoheng behind and ran to the kitchen alone.
Huo Shaoheng looked at his abandoned hand. "…"
Song Jinning held back her laughter and pointed inside. "Professor Lu arrived a long time ago. He's been waiting for you."
Huo Shaoheng coughed lightly and said, "… Ms. Song, General Huo is also here today to celebrate the New Year with the old master."
Huo Guanchen's private villa was in the West Hills, but it was quite far from Lu Yuan's house.
Song Jinning's smile faded a little. She carried the bottle of Maotai to the dining room as she said, "Well, spending the New Year with my father is still something to be proud of."
Huo Shaoheng sighed and said, "… I spent the New Year with the Zhang family."
Song Jinning, "…"
She stopped smiling. "Pretend I didn't say anything."
Huo Shaoheng had wanted to finish his New Year's Eve dinner here and take Gu Nianzhi to Huo Guanchen's place.
The grudges in their family could be settled behind closed doors, but in front of outsiders, they still had to show basic courtesy.
Especially since Gu Nianzhi was now the chief legal adviser of the Senate, there were many people who had their eyes on her.
However, Grandfather Huo felt that it was too cold, so he called the Zhang family to Huo Guanchen's West Hills villa for the New Year.
This was unbearable.
Huo Shaoheng didn't plan to visit Grandfather Huo and pay them a New Year's greeting.
When he arrived at the living room, Huo Shaoheng looked around. "Where's Uncle Lu?"
"He's in the dining room. Nianzhi should have gone to the dining room too."
Huo Shaoheng followed her to the dining room and saw that Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin were already seated. They were waiting for Lu Yuan to serve the Buddha jumps over the wall.
Lu Jin was explaining to Gu Nianzhi how to eat the Buddha jumps over the wall.
"… You know that the Buddha jumps over the wall is stewed, and there are a lot of things in it, but it's mixed but not messy. There are many levels. So when you eat it, you're very particular. "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. With one spoon, you can take care of all the levels from top to bottom and scoop them into a bowl together. "
"Delicious things have to be eaten together to taste the special ingredients of the Buddha jumps over the wall." Lu Jin shook his head, as if he had already written a 5,000-word paper on how to eat the Buddha jumps over the wall scientifically.
Gu Nianzhi felt even hungrier when she heard this. She sighed and leaned back in her seat. "Hurry up and serve the dishes! I'm so hungry that my stomach is cramping! "
Lu Jin saw this and quickly went to the kitchen to fiddle with it for a while. When he came out, he brought Gu Nianzhi a white jade porcelain bowl of sesame glutinous rice balls. He said, "It's cooked with osmanthus rice wine. Eat this first."
Gu Nianzhi especially liked to eat glutinous things. Rice wine, glutinous rice balls, and rice noodles were her favorites.
The rice wine that Lu Jin was talking about was a southern dialect. In the north, it was called fermented rice. It was made of glutinous rice, and after fermentation, it was sweet and sour. With a little dried osmanthus flowers, it was given to young girls in winter to replenish their energy and blood.
Gu Nianzhi drank a bowl of osmanthus rice wine glutinous rice balls and sighed in satisfaction as if she had come back to life. She said, "It's so delicious! The simple osmanthus rice wine glutinous rice balls are so delicious. President Lu's culinary skills have reached perfection! "
Lu Jin looked at his tray and asked in confusion, "… How did you know that Boss Lu 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. When it comes to cooking, I inherited your talent. How could I not know your culinary skills? "
Lu Jin was amused by her and pointed at her nose. "You, you're really naughty!"
As the two of them spoke, Huo Shaoheng and Song Jinning helped Lu Yuan put the prepared dishes and snacks on the dining table.
Gu Nianzhi quickly got up to help.
She was in charge of getting the bowls and chopsticks to disinfect and then 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 a round table.
The Huaxia Empire was particular about a round auspicious omen.
A large can of 'Buddha jumps over the wall' was brought over and placed on the turntable in the middle, surrounded by dishes that Lu Yuan had meticulously cooked.
Huo Shaoheng took the Maotai he had brought over and filled it for Lu Yuan, Lu Jin, and Song Jinning. He poured milk and coconut juice for Gu Nianzhi and only drank beer.
Lu Yuan looked at him and asked with a smile, "Why didn't Shaoheng drink Maotai?"
Huo Shaoheng's expression didn't change as he said, "Of course such good wine is for the elders. Nianzhi and I are juniors, so we won't fight with the elders for it."
"Haha, is that so?" Lu Yuan looked at Lu Jin meaningfully.
Like Gu Nianzhi, Lu Jin devoted himself to tasting the day's delicacies and wine.
The 'Buddha jumps over the wall' was delicious, but according to Lu Jin's way of eating it, it was still a little greasy.
The mellow Maotai was just right to relieve the greasy feeling, and it could also complement the seafood in the 'Buddha jumps over the wall'. It could be said to be very powerful.
Lu Jin ate happily and drank a little too much.
Before the bell rang at midnight on New Year's Eve, he passed out drunk. Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng helped him away and sent him to the guest room to sleep.
Song Jinning was also a little drunk. She propped her head up against the dining table and kept smiling at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi took the opportunity to whisper to Song Jinning, "Ms. Song, can you do me a favor?"
"What is it? Just tell me, as long as I can do it. "The drunk Ms. Song had the air of a domineering elder sister.
Gu Nianzhi's voice became softer as she said, "Ms. Song, can you let me make a call to the other world? I want to wish Young Master He a happy New Year … "
