In the yard, Marinda Qingping had already led two children to light a charcoal fire, and the iron frame was set up. There was also a clay pot on top, and the strong smell of medicine spread out.

"Who wants to take medicine?" Justin Gu came over and stared at Marinda Qingping.

"No one, it's stewed soup to nourish the body." Marinda Qingping couldn't say it was a man's soup for you in front of the children, right? "The meat is here! We can start grilling!"

Eli and Xiaomai clapped their hands, their faces reddened by the firelight.

Lamb chops and lamb legs took a long time to roast, so Marinda Qingping put them on the grill and roasted them slowly. He took a handful of each of the other meats and put them on the rack to roast them quickly.

Eli and Xiaomai each took a bunch and roasted them slowly, while Justin Gu carefully "served" the lamb chops and lamb legs, constantly sprinkling seasonings on them.

Marinda Qingping loves to tinker with food, even tofu can be tinkered with meaty taste. Eli has become accustomed to that as long as Marinda Qingping is at home, there will be something delicious, but wheat is different.

In their hometown, both the elders of the Gu family and Gu Youlian are used to saving money, not to mention the Du family who don't like to see wheat. Even if they have delicious food, they can't get wheat. Moreover, even if they wanted to eat meat in the past, because they had tickets, Purchases and availability are also limited, so even if meat is now open for sale, in Xiaomai’s view, eating meat is still very difficult. At home, only the aunt eats it when she comes back on weekends, right?

There was so much meat today. Although Xiaomai was shocked, he was also cautious, not daring to eat more. He grilled a skewer himself, took one skewer from Marinda Qingping's hand, and did not dare to eat any more, watching silently.

Marinda Qingping was busy baking and didn't pay attention to her. After baking, he put it in front of the two children, meaning to give them something to eat. But suddenly he looked up and found that the barbecue in front of Xiaomai was piled high, and not a single skewer was eaten.

"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious? Why don't you eat it?" Marinda Qingping ate happily and thought it tasted good. "Is it too spicy?"

Wheat shook his head.

"Then why don't you eat it? Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold!" Marinda Qingping pointed to the barbecued meats in front of her.

Xiaomai still didn't believe it, "Eat it all...eat it all? Don't save it for tomorrow?"

"What's left? Eat it open until your belly can't hold it anymore!" Marinda Qingping said cheerfully.

Mai's eyes widened, this... so much meat!

"This is mutton, this is beef. We seldom eat it in my hometown. This is pork belly. You can eat whatever you like." In a few years, beef and mutton will no longer be rare in our hometown, but now these two children I really haven’t eaten much.

Marinda Qingping also opened a bottle of Arctic soda for each of the two children, and also took a bottle to drink, except Justin Gu's.

Justin Gu held a knife in his hand, put a small piece of meat from the lamb leg, and fed it to her mouth, "Why don't you have mine?"

Marinda Qingping took one bite of the mutton leg. It was really delicious! Fat but not greasy, caramelized and tender, it bursts with oil right into your mouth.

Wearing a pair of gauze gloves, she poured out the medicinal soup from the clay pot and handed it to him, "This is for you to drink."

Justin Gu:? ? ?

"What the hell is this?"

Marinda Qingping answered without hesitation, "This is the medicinal soup I made for you! Mom told me! If you don't go home these two months, you won't be able to drink it. I don't know if Mom will blame me if I don't go home for these two months."

"What?" Justin Gu's brows were already furrowed, "What did my mother tell me?"

Eli blinked, and the distant memory suddenly attacked him, "I know, it's the soup that men drink!"

Justin Gu:...

Eli also asked Marinda Qingping, "Can I drink it? I'm a man."

Marinda Qingping chuckled, "You are a boy!"

What else doesn’t Justin Gu understand?

At that moment, my face didn't look good, but I couldn't have an attack in front of my child, lowering my head and continuing to roast the mutton.

The night was getting darker. Although the lights were on, the light was not bright, and his dark face was hidden in the darkness.

Marinda Qingping held a cup of soda and touched the edge of Justin Gu's cup containing the decoction. "Justin Gu, don't you toast me?"

Justin Gu:

"You drink soda and I drink medicine?"

Marinda Qingping chuckled, "Mom told me, I must obey. Well, you shouldn't drink cold drinks, right? Just like the woman Gong Han..."

Of course, the rest of what she said was all her own nonsense.

"Marinda Qingping..." When he called her name, it was with gritted teeth.

"What?" She didn't hear it. She tilted her head and looked at him, "You don't want to do it with me?"

Justin Gu took a deep look at her, raised his glass against hers, and drank the entire soup in one go.

"Justin Gu..." Marinda Qingping was sitting in the yard. The April night was also warm. The yard was filled with the aroma of barbecue. The person he cared about most was beside him, and the atmosphere was a bit good.

She looked at the bright moon in the sky and called his name, "We should drink red wine tonight."

Justin Gu glanced at her and said, "You have such a drinking capacity..." He remembered what kind of wine she drank that night at the Gujiacun party secretary's house...

"What's wrong with my drinking ability?" She was unconvinced, "I can't drink white wine, but I can still drink red wine."

"Then I'll buy it now..." He stood up and prepared to wash his hands.

"Forget it." She grabbed him, "You drank the medicinal soup, you can't drink."

Justin Gu's forehead hurts just by mentioning this word.

He glanced at Marinda Qingping and saw that she was still unaware. He hummed inwardly and sat down again to slice the lamb leg.

Marinda Qingping also put the roast duck he bought on the rack and roasted it again. The dough was scorched and it tasted like a different flavor.

The four of them were not in a hurry, roasting and eating slowly. Before they knew it, under the moonlight on the treetops, Gu Youlian and Sister Zhao also came back and gathered around to eat again.

Marinda Qingping never said that today was her birthday, nor did she let Justin Gu do so.

In her previous life, she had only received birthday gifts from Justin Gu, and in this life, she only cared about him.

As long as he remembers, that's fine...

The barbecue didn't come to an end until the night dew grew heavier and Mai and Eli began to yawn.

After hurriedly cleaning up the yard, Gu Youlian took Xiaomai to the next door.

Here, Eli takes a shower by himself now, and no longer needs anyone to watch his schedule. Soon, the house on Marinda Qingping's side also fell into the tranquility of the night.

Marinda Qingping and Justin Gu had not seen each other for two months, but in fact, there had been very few physical contacts since the Chinese New Year, because her mother-in-law had warned them to exercise moderation when drinking medicinal soup.

She was nervous too.

How could you not want to?

When he lay down, the scent of soap on his body warmed his body and heart.

but

Her mind was spinning, but before she could finish the "but", she was hugged by him.

"Justin Gu..." She put her arm between her and him nervously.
