Du Wan'ying is beautiful and kindhearted, yet she has a laid‑back slacker temperament—no wonder.
Before time-travel, she was ambitious, diligent, and hardworking, never daring to slac...
After hearing this, Director Xu burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, I like you, little girl. Why don't you grow up a few years and become my daughter-in-law? You can pick any of those two brats at home."
"Marriage isn't something I can just agree to. It depends on whether your son and I like each other, and ultimately, whether my parents agree."
"Then it's settled. I'll introduce you to my two silly boys someday." After a pause, Director Xu continued, "Xiao Du, my mother's favorite food in her life is boiled cabbage.
Over the years, my brother has searched for chefs from all over the country, just to let my mother taste the boiled cabbage that my father used to make for her, but no one has been able to make it in all these years.
My mother said, if there is anyone in this world who can make that taste, that person is you.”
"Okay, leave it to me."
In her previous life, Du Wanying had eaten boiled cabbage in the imperial chef’s private kitchen, so she was confident that she could make it.
"Xiao Du, if you succeed, I won't treat you unfairly."
"No, I just want to fulfill Grandma Xu's dream, nothing else matters."
Director Xu looked at Du Wanying deeply. The more he got to know this little girl, the more he felt she was extraordinary. He responded emphatically, "Okay."
After Director Xu finished speaking, he left the kitchen. Tang Xiao admired his sister-in-law even more.
It took the three of them three hours to prepare eight dishes and one soup, of which the boiling cabbage soup took nearly three hours.
Even Du Wanying couldn't help but sigh at the luxury of this meal.
But she was still a little worried that the taste of this boiled cabbage would be different from the one made by Grandpa Xu.
"Yingying, what are you thinking about? You didn't even respond when your brother called you."
As Du's mother spoke, she waved her hand in front of Du Wanying's eyes.
"Ah, Mom, I'm fine. Is there anything wrong, brother?"
"It's nothing, don't worry. I just asked you and mother to wait for us in the house. My third brother and I will take care of these."
"Oh, okay, that's troublesome."
After Du Wanying finished speaking, she took her mother and sister-in-law home.
Watching Grandma Xu chatting with her own grandmother, Du Wanying admired her from the bottom of her heart. Her husband died early, but she not only raised three children alone, but also brought them up to be so outstanding.
Seeing her son coming, Du's mother quickly greeted him, "Mom, Aunt Xu, and the director's wife, the food is ready. Come to the table and get ready to eat."
When Aunt Xu heard that the food was ready, she said impatiently, "Okay, okay, then what are we waiting for? Let's take our seats."
The dining table was packed with people. There were nine people from the Du family and three from the Xu family.
The most important ones are the three from the Xu family.
Grandma Du saw that Lao Xu was staring at the boiled cabbage without delay and said directly: "Lao Du, what are you looking at? If you want to eat it, just take it. Just treat it as your own home. Don't be polite."
Grandma Xu was not polite either. She really wanted to try this boiled cabbage.
The Xu couple, Du Wanying, Du's mother and Tang Xiao stared at Xu's mother. They were all a little excited. After all, this boiled cabbage had a different meaning.
Seeing that they were staring at Xu's mother, the others put down their chopsticks as well.
Mother Xu calmly picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in her mouth to taste it. Instantly, her eyes became red and tears began to fall. "This is the taste, this is the taste."
After saying that, Xu's mother began to eat with big mouthfuls. After finishing the whole dish of boiled cabbage, she looked at Du Wanying and said, "Xiao Du, thank you, thank you."
This made Du Wanying breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had succeeded, so she quickly said, "Grandma Xu, if you like it, just come to my house in the future and I will make it for you."
"Well, thank you."
Everyone was very happy during the meal. The Du family was happy because Du Wanying found a job. Although they did not find the job for Du Wanying, isn't it more worth being happy that the younger sister found the job through her own efforts?
Director Xu and his wife finally fulfilled their mother's wish.
After dinner, Du's mother washed the fruits that Director Xu brought. You know, it was very difficult to buy some fruits in that era, and the prices were not cheap.
Everyone ate fruit while listening to Grandma Xu talk about her past. By the end, everyone's mood became heavy and they all admired Grandma Xu very much.
Even his grandmother's attitude towards Lao Xu has become much better.
After the Xu family left, Du Wanying was sent to rest.
She has to go to work tomorrow so she should have a good rest.
Du Wanying directly locked the door and entered the space.
After planting today's seeds, Du Wanying went to the bedroom. Looking at the photos on the bedside table, she couldn't help but reach out and touch them.
"Mom, I've been doing well recently. My family has been very good to me, and I've found a job. You must take good care of yourself over there."
Du Wanying feels that she is very happy now. She has her family to accompany her and care about her. She is really content. She whispered to the photo of her mother in her previous life for a while before she rested.
In the afternoon, family members go to work as they should, and rest as they should.
Du Wanying went to visit her grandparents.
"Grandpa and grandma, I'll be home all afternoon. If you need anything, just call me. If you want to eat anything, just tell me and I'll prepare it."
Grandma Du smiled and replied, "I don't have anything to do. Your grandpa is here. You have to go to work tomorrow, right? Grandma will give you some money so you can buy two new clothes."
"Grandma, no need. My mom gave me some money yesterday, and my sister-in-law gave me some more at noon. I don't need money. Just keep your money for yourself."
"It's different. What they gave was their heartfelt gift, and what I gave was also mine. Take it!!"
Since grandma said so, Du Wanying couldn't refuse. "Okay, thank you grandma."
"You kid, you're still so polite to grandma. Okay, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy two new clothes."
"Well, grandpa and grandma, I'll be leaving first."
"Let's go, let's go."
As soon as Du Wanying left the house, she found a secluded place and entered the space directly. Now the cotton in the space is ripe and can be made into cloth and ready-made clothes.
She first used her mind to put the cotton into the all-purpose loom, and after making the cloth (the cloth produced by the machine is all finished and can be made directly into clothes. The patterns are made according to Du Wanying's settings, without the need for dyeing and other processes), she then let the machine make finished clothes.
After setting up the machine to make a braid and a loose printed dress with a 70s retro style, Du Wanying left the space.
If there were machines for making shoes, Du Wanying would not have wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
I stopped after buying a pair of small white shoes and small leather shoes at the supply and marketing cooperative. Clothes can be produced in the space, so the equipment is complete.
