My Side Job is a Trader

After dinner, Zhang Xin was still in charge of cleaning the table and washing dishes, while the three women came to Zhang Xin and Li Xueer's bedroom to check the jewelry and wedding dresses.

Looking at the white wedding dress, Zhang Miao said, "You have decided to hold a traditional wedding, why are you still buying a wedding dress?"

Li Xueer said: "This is what Zhang Xin insisted on buying, and he said he might use it."

"Don't listen to him, I think it's just a waste of money. But a woman still needs a wedding dress of her own. Could it be that's what he thinks?"

Zhang Miao is very familiar with Zhang Xin, so she has some guesses about it.

Next, with the help of Zhang Miao and He Cuizhen, Li Xueer tried on the wedding dress customized according to her figure, and then put on the Bu Yao Feng Guan, which made He Cuizhen and Zhang Miao call it beautiful.

Li Xueer was very happy in her heart, and deliberately turned around in front of the mirror several times.

"Okay, I'm still very confident in my vision."

Zhang Xin didn't know when he walked into the room and saw Li Xueer trying on the wedding dress, so he said.

There were three women in one play, and the home that was originally thought to be deserted, was very lively just because of the three women. Zhang Xin, a man, seemed a bit redundant, so he had to sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a cup of hot tea to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city.

Around four o'clock, Zhang Boyu called and asked Zhang Xin to meet him, so Zhang Xin hurriedly drove Zhang Boyu home.

Compared with He Cuizhen's amazement when she first came to the house, Zhang Boyu seemed much calmer, and just said lightly: "The house is nice, and the location is also pretty good."

Then nothing was said.

He Cuizhen asked, "Is everything done?"

"Of course I came here to get things done."

"The dinner will be given to you father and son. You should prepare it quickly. The dinner time is coming soon."

For the next two days, the family was preparing for the new year.

At Zhang Miao's insistence, the family went to the mall, mainly to buy her new clothes for the New Year.

As for Zhang Xin and Li Xueer, their cloakrooms were full of new clothes, so naturally they didn't need to buy any more, while for Zhang Boyu and his wife, Zhang Miao personally bought two sets of clothes for them.

On the day of New Year's Eve, the family went to the vegetable market to prepare the ingredients needed for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Originally, Zhang Xin wanted to eat at a restaurant, but Zhang Boyu and He Cuizhen jointly refuted it, saying that going to a restaurant for New Year's Eve dinner is very convenient and trouble-free, but it seems that it does not have the taste of the New Year.

Fortunately, there are now three people who know how to cook and cook, and the kitchen space is indeed enough for three people to operate in the kitchen at the same time. Only then did Zhang Xin feel that it is feasible to cook New Year's Eve dinner at home, especially since the kitchen has all kinds of equipment. The dishes can be placed in the insulated box first.

In order to ensure that the New Year's Eve dinner can start on time, the three of them were busy in the kitchen at the same time.

The division of labor between the three is still different. Zhang Boyu is the most familiar with stir-fried vegetables, so he cooks all the stir-fried vegetables for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhang Xin and Zhang Miao made some non-fried dishes. For example, Zhang Xin was making steamed sea bass that the whole family loved. Zhang Miao used the oven to cook some barbecue dishes.

As for He Cuizhen and Li Xueer, neither of them knows how to cook, so they can only sit at the bar and watch the three busy people in the kitchen. If you know how to cook, it can be said that you will enjoy a good life if you marry into our family."

Zhang Miao said: "Mom, you have trained Dad to be a housewife, but don't let my brother become like this. After all, my brother is also the boss. There are a lot of things in the company. How can he be busy doing laundry and cooking at home every day?" meal."

Zhang Xin said: "It's easy to handle. I'll find two nannies to take care of the housework in the next year, and Xiao Xueer can just sit at home."

He Cuizhen didn't say a word. After all, given Zhang Xin's current wealth status, it was quite normal to hire a few nannies, so she didn't object. This was also one of her biggest changes, that is, money was no longer the most important thing.

Li Xueer said: "I think you can just find an aunt who cooks for you. I will go to school after the next year. How can I stay at home all the time?"

"That's right, I've forgotten about it. Since this is the case, the family should not be too busy looking for a nanny. I can handle it easily by myself."

Zhang Miao looked at He Cuizhen and said, "Mom, you don't live here?"

He Cuizhen said: "I'm going to the capital too, to accompany Xiao Xue'er."

Li Xueer said: "Mom, in fact, you don't need to come over to accompany me every day. Anyway, Auntie Zhao prepares three meals a day for me, and I don't need to do anything myself."

He Cuizhen said: "That's not okay, I still feel a little worried about letting an outsider serve you, especially as your belly grows bigger and weaker, it's better to have one more person with you, I can also talk with you, so as not to make you depressed."

"Huh? What kind of mushroom is this thing? Haven't seen it before?"

Zhang Xin heard Zhang Boyu's words and saw that he was holding matsutake, so he said: "This is white matsutake, which is also a kind of fungus. It tastes very delicious and is good for making soup. Of course, it can also be fried, just like ordinary mushrooms. .”

He didn't take the initiative to tell the price of this item, otherwise He Cuizhen would definitely say something to him again.

Of course, this is also true. I don’t pay much attention to cooking at home, and I don’t need to be as troublesome as a star restaurant, so Zhang Boyu directly came to a plate of stir-fried white matsutake, so that Zhang Xin didn’t know what to say for a while. .

Zhang Miao was busy frying steak at the moment, and it was also wagyu beef that Zhang Xin bought back from a high-end food supermarket.

After Zhang Xin finished steaming the sea bass, he was busy making some desserts at the moment, so that the skills he had spent money to learn at the beginning could be used.

It was past five o'clock, before it was completely dark outside, a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was ready, and the family sat at the dining table.

In order to ensure that the food would not be cold when eating in winter, Zhang Xin specially bought back this dining table that can be heated in the center of the tabletop, so no matter how long the New Year's Eve dinner is eaten, the food will not be completely cold.

Zhang Xin's family is good at drinking, and they would drink a little at the New Year's Eve dinner. Zhang Boyu is naturally Moutai, while the rest of them drink red wine. Even Li Xueer drank some, but not much.

Zhang Miao raised her wine glass and said, "Happy New Year everyone! It's rare for the whole family to get together to celebrate the New Year, so happy!"

We all had a sip of wine together.

He Cuizhen said: "In the past, our family was separated from each other. Zhang Miao was busy opening a store, but he couldn't leave. Your father and I were reluctant to part with the three times the overtime pay in the factory. Zhang Xin was like a homeless child. Why don't we go to work?" His sister's place to celebrate the New Year, or come to our dormitory to celebrate the New Year, saying that it's the New Year, but it's not much different from usual. A well-behaved New Year's Eve dinner like today should be the first time for the two of you after leaving us!"

Zhang Xin recalled his growth process, except that when he was a child, he had the impression of having New Year’s Eve dinner with his parents. Since he was eight years old, he left his parents because of going to school and lived with his uncle’s house. Dinner is always eaten at other people's homes. Although my uncle doesn't treat him as an outsider, it is not my home after all, especially when relatives come to my uncle's home during the Chinese New Year. I am not familiar with those people at all, and this is always reminded intentionally or unintentionally. Thinking of himself as an outsider.

Later, Zhang Xin went to other places to study high school or even university. He would either go to Zhang Miao's place to celebrate the New Year, or he would go to the dormitory of Zhang Boyu and his wife to make do with it. Fortunately, Zhang Miao had divorced before, and the two siblings sometimes relied on each other. Don't look too lonely during the Chinese New Year.
