Chapter 309
"Mom, you're awake!"
Qin En ran to hug her and acted coquettishly.
"Yeah, I'm awake now. Are you waiting for mom?"
"Yes, yes, I want to be with my mother. Are you tired, mother?"
"I'm not tired anymore. Where are your dad and the others?"
"They are in the kitchen. They kicked Uncle Ding and the others out and said they want to cook for themselves."
Qin Xingfu picked her up and walked towards the kitchen. Ding Zhao was outside the kitchen, sticking his head out and looking inside, fearing that his territory would be destroyed.
"Ding Zhao, you all go back first. I'll let them clean up the kitchen themselves later."
"Sir, is it really possible?"
Although the men would occasionally cook some food on weekdays, he was the one who prepared the meals for their family most of the time.
"It's okay, go back and have a good rest! Bring some of the food back with you."
Since Qin Xingfu said so, Ding Zhao had no choice but to let them go. He had no room to perform today, so he would make more for the adults to try tomorrow. He has been researching some new dishes recently.
"My Lord, you're awake. Our family made this tonight. Look, this is a little dessert made by Qiqi. Try it."
Dan Yao held the pudding made by Qin Mingqi and scooped a spoonful for her to eat.
"I want it too! I want it too!"
Qin En opened his mouth to beg for food, and Qin Xingfu thought it tasted good.
"It seems that Qiqi's talent is cooking."
She never asked her children to do anything. She and her husbands worked hard in the hope that their children could do what they like in the future.
"Yes!"
Dan Yao also hopes that children can freely choose what they want to do. It’s a pity that the children do not have the talent to study medicine, but the children are still young and there are many possibilities in the future.
"Mom! Is it delicious?"
Qin Mingqi's little face was still covered with icing sugar, and she felt a little nervous. Her father had never given her mother anything she had made before, so today she wanted to get her mother's praise.
“Qiqi is great!”
Qin Xingfu gave her a thumbs up, and Qin Mingqi squinted his eyes happily.
"Sister! I want more."
Qin En pestered her for more food, but Qin Mingqi shook her head.
"Yeah, Dad and the others made a lot of delicious food. If you eat too much now, you won't be able to eat anymore later. Let's eat after dinner."
She was making a small dessert after dinner. Qin Xingfu then looked at the kitchen. The huge kitchen was filled with their food. Qin Shan and Qin Chuan were making knife-cut noodles, Qin Yue was boiling soup, Queen Qin was cutting vegetables, and Ying Bu was watching fearfully, afraid that she would hurt herself. Queen Ying and Qin Wuji were arranging the dishes, Gongshu Yuan and Xu He were cooking, and Mi Fu was in charge of controlling the heat. It didn't seem very good.
"Mi Fu, the fire is too big, turn it down!"
Gongshu Yuan really admired him.
"Why are you angry sometimes and sometimes not? Can I do it now?"
"well."
There was a lot of noise in the kitchen. Qin Xingfu liked this kind of atmosphere very much. Qin Ci came out from somewhere, his little face was all black, and he made her laugh as soon as he came out.
"Oh my god, baby, what did you do? Why is it so dark?"
Qin Ci said with some grievance.
"Mom, I want to cook for you too, but there's no place. There's a stove outside that I can't light."
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Qin Xingfu took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.
"Baby, you are still young. Daddy and your brothers and sisters have already cooked enough for you today. When you grow up, you can cook for mommy."
"Then I...then I want to grow up quickly and make lots of delicious food for my mother."
"Okay! Then we'll just wait for Dad and the others' food."
Everyone cooks at different speeds, so the food gets cold quickly. In the end, the family set up a table in the empty space in the kitchen so that the food could be heated up even when it was cold. When the food was ready, the family sat around together and raised their glasses to express their happiness.
"Today's meal is the result of our family's hard work. Everyone is great! Come on, cheers!"
"cheers!"
Although the food was not as delicious as that cooked by Ding Zhao, it was full of thought. It was very warm to have the family sitting together.
After dinner, the family sat around the dining table, talking and laughing as they began to clean up the dishes and leftover food. At this moment, a soft rustling sound suddenly came from outside the window. Everyone turned their heads curiously and saw white snowflakes floating in the sky.
"Mom, Dad, it's snowing!" Qin Wuji shouted excitedly, looking up with surprise in his eyes. Qin Xingfu, who was standing beside him, clasped his hands together, gently placed them on his chest, closed his eyes and prayed silently.
"The snow this year is indeed coming later than in previous years, but it looks really heavy. As the saying goes, auspicious snow means a good harvest. I believe next year will be another good year! May our whole family be healthy, safe and happy!" Qin Xingfu said with a smile. Her gentle voice seemed to carry a magical power that filled the whole house with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
After hearing what their mother said, the children followed suit. Some imitated their mother's posture and put their hands together; others blinked mischievously and muttered something.
“I hope mom and dad will always be happy!” the youngest child cried in a baby voice.
"I want to plant lots of beautiful flowers and turn my home into a beautiful garden!" the older girl said with longing.
"As for me, I hope to eat different delicious food every day, hehe..." The chubby little boy smacked his lips, his face full of anticipation.
Although Ying Bu and other adults did not speak out, they also silently made their own wishes in their hearts. Perhaps they hoped for a successful career, or they hoped for the happiness and well-being of their families, or there were other little thoughts that they had not yet expressed.
At this moment, the family stood quietly in front of the window, bathing in the beautiful scenery of snowflakes, and praying devoutly for a better life in the future. The snowflakes gently fell on their shoulders and hair, as if they were also listening to these sincere wishes and cherishing them one by one.
"Dad, why can't you just tell me what you want?"
Qin Ci asked with doubt in his heart. Gongshu Yuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and gently tapped Qin Ci's head, saying.
"Silly child, as long as you know your wish in your heart, why bother about whether others have said it out loud? Don't dawdle, come over and clean up together."
"Oh, it's so tiring!" Qin Ci couldn't help but complain, and Qin Wuji also nodded.
"Does Uncle Ding's family have to do so much work every day? I never thought that they would have to wash so many dishes after cooking. Just looking at this pile of pots and pans, I feel overwhelmed!"
As she said this, she shook her head helplessly and continued to work hard.
"Yes, you should finish what you start, so that you will have clean pots and pans next time you cook. You should also pay attention to kitchen hygiene at all times, because if you don't pay attention, there will be a lot of bugs and bacteria, and people will get sick if they eat."
She seemed to have gotten used to giving people lectures all the time. Qin Xingfu wondered if she was being a bit of a know-it-all.
"Oh~"
