Chapter 482 Barbecue? A pleasant evening
"He has something to do and is not in the capital." Hao Hao brought the topic back to himself.
"When will you bring my little great-grandson to me? Hehe, when I get old, I just like to see my children and grandchildren. Nothing else matters."
"What grandson-in-law and little great-grandson? What are you talking about, grandfather?" Shen Jinghong asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"What are you talking about! Look, you are already old, but still wandering around outside. Hurry up and find a wife to start a family. Don't count on your scumbag father." Seeing Shen Jinghong, the old Duke's face suddenly darkened.
"Grandpa, um, the flowers in the yard are blooming beautifully. Sister, come on, let's go and take a look." Shen Jinghong didn't expect her grandfather to react so quickly. He hurriedly pulled Yao Qingnian and the others to the backyard.
"Brother, the flowers in the backyard have all withered. It's autumn now."
"Hey, you girl!" Shen Jinghong kept winking at her, but Yao Qingnian pretended not to see it, so he could only say, "The marriages of my two younger sisters haven't been settled yet."
"Qingnian's marriage is settled, so only Youran and Jinghong are left. Does Jinghong have a girl he likes?" asked Old Lady Chen.
"Grandma, what did you say? Sister Qingnian's marriage has been settled. When did it happen?" Shen Jinghong and Shen Nianran looked at him in surprise.
"I'm talking about you. Why are you talking about me? I'm already married. You should just take care of yourself. I think Miss Han from the Han Mansion is very good. Her lotus seed soup is really unforgettable..." Yao Qingnian couldn't help but joked, but before he could finish his words, Shen Jinghong covered his mouth.
"Haha, grandma, we are just joking! I'm taking my sister for a walk in the backyard." After saying that, he pulled Yao Qingnian away.
Old Madam Chen, Chen Shuhua and others took Yao Qingnian's words to heart. Han Junlan, the daughter of the Han family, was a good person, and her younger brother was also promising. Although their parents were not around, they managed the Han family in an orderly manner. If there was time, they would find an opportunity to ask about it, and if possible, quickly arrange a marriage for Jinghong.
Now that Shen Wenting is not at the Shen Mansion, the old lady is paralyzed again. The newly married lady is said to have a good temper, but she is the daughter of an inexperienced merchant after all. Jinghong's marriage still has to be decided by Shuhua, the mother.
When Yao Qingnian arrived at the backyard, he saw such a large open space. He suddenly thought of the seasonings he brought back from Jiading, the border town, and suddenly had the idea of having a barbecue.
"Brother, Nianran, have you ever eaten barbecue?"
"What is barbecue?" Shen Nianran looked at her and asked.
“It’s just barbecue.”
"I've eaten it when I was camping outdoors. Why are you asking about this?" Shen Jinghong looked at her puzzled.
"Let's have a barbecue tonight. It'll be more lively with more people in this yard."
"Barbecue here?"
"Yes, sister Nianran and I are going out to buy food. We have made a happy decision. By the way, go and call Sister Han and Han Junze over, as well as Uncle Zheng Cheng."
There happened to be a barbecue grill in Yao Qingnian's space. She made an extra one when she was in Anding County last time. She was a foodie and thought it would come in handy someday.
She said something to the Shen Nianran sisters, Chen Shuhua and others, and went out to the street to buy food.
After hearing this, Duke Chen also expressed his agreement with both hands. Today was a good day for the family to reunite, and the children could have fun as they pleased. As an old man, he followed suit, and his mood improved as he saw the vibrant life in the mansion.
Yao Qingnian came to the street and picked some pork belly, chicken legs and chicken wings. Unfortunately, her favorite chicken feet were missing, so she bought some other ingredients suitable for barbecue. Then she went back with satisfaction.
Shen Nianran followed behind her and for the first time felt the joy of having her family around her.
"Nianran, you just came back. When we have time some other day, let's call mom and go out for a walk together. We can buy whatever we like." Yao Qingnian, Shan Wei and the other two all had their hands full.
"Okay, don't forget, I'm your elder sister, and I should take care of you." Shen Nianran said with a smile.
"No, Shen Jinghong said that I am the older sister. I was taken away first and you weren't born yet. It's so good to be a younger sister. Someone loves you!" Yao Qingnian retorted with a grin. She didn't know last time and lost the game of rock-paper-scissors. This time she knew, so she had to follow the order of first name and last name.
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that we sisters are reunited."
"That makes sense. Then let's stop being sisters. You call me Qingnian and I call you Nianran. Neither of us will suffer any loss, right?"
"Okay, it's up to you."
The two sisters made the decision happily and went back happily with their things.
After returning home, everyone worked together to wash the ingredients and then skewered them. This was the first time anyone had seen such a special way of cooking.
By the evening, everything was ready and the barbecue officially began.
Han Junze also brought Han Junlan over. Seeing so many people and it was lively, they felt comfortable joining in to help.
However, Han Junlan blushed when she saw Shen Jinghong and greeted him embarrassedly. After learning that his injury was healed and he had recovered, she was very happy for him. When she heard that he was leaving the Han Mansion, she felt a little empty in her heart thinking that no one would urge her to make lotus seed soup anymore. She had been feeling uneasy these days.
When Old Madam Chen learned that this was the woman that Qingnian had mentioned, she called Chen Shuhua to see her. The two of them were very satisfied with Han Junlan's graceful and elegant demeanor. They called her over for snacks and tea, telling her not to feel restrained and to treat this place as her own home.
"Master, I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time. I miss it! Crayfish, ice jelly..." As soon as Han Junze came in, he saw Shen Nianran helping not far away. Smelling the aroma of meat, he ran over and muttered a lot.
Shen Nianran looked at him with a puzzled look on his face: "Master? Young Master, did you recognize the wrong person?"
"Young Master? Master, have you lost your memory? You don't even remember me." Han Junze looked at her seriously.
"Puchi! Han Junze, I'm here!" Yao Qingnian looked at him with a silly look and couldn't help but shout out.
"You are my master?!" Han Junze looked at Shen Nianran and then at Yao Qingnian. How could there be two identical Yao Qingnian?
"Well, I forgot to tell you, she is my twin sister, the real eldest daughter of the Shen family."
"Ah?! Sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Han Junze ran to Yao Qingnian awkwardly and muttered, "Master, why didn't you tell me earlier? I recognized the wrong person."
