Jiang Yunshu had just kicked out her fiancé who was cheating on her when her long-deceased grandparents appeared in her dream. Before leaving, they even gave her a mustard seed space obtained from...
"Lili can't eat, Lili can only drink milk powder." Shen Yunshu rubbed the little dumpling's head, and the touch felt unexpectedly good.
It's just a pity that Shen Yunshu, who dreams of having a daughter, can only quench her thirst by looking at the plum and wait for the next life. If she has a daughter in the next life, she will definitely dress her daughter up beautifully.
Jiang Shuyao stopped hesitating and ate the osmanthus yam cake in small bites. Her mouth was stuffed full, which made everyone present look so cute.
Shen Yunshu wiped the pastry crumbs from the corner of her mouth and fed her two mouthfuls of rock sugar, snow pear and white fungus soup.
"Sister Piao Niang, it's sweet..."
"If Yaoyao likes it, can we ask Uncle Wan to make it for us next time?"
Jiang Shuyao blinked her sparkling eyes and looked at Xiang Wanxinyu: "...Uncle...is it okay..."
Wan Xinyu said cheerfully, "Our Yaoyao is so cute, of course we can."
"Lili is cute too."
The little dumpling kept saying "li" as if he was afraid of being left behind, and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The Fang family’s problems were completely resolved. In order to celebrate this happy moment, Wan Xinyu decided to eat hotpot in the evening.
In the sweltering summer, eating from a boiling hot pot and sweating profusely was unpleasant just thinking about it. Just as everyone was about to speak out in objection, a crisp voice was heard.
"I agree."
Wan Xinyu clasped his hands together and looked at everyone mischievously: "Shen Zhiqing agreed, what about you?"
Is there any need to ask this again? Of course everyone agreed. Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Shen went to the kitchen to help prepare the ingredients, while Grandma Gu and Mother Gu were busy taking care of the cubs.
Taking into account Shen Yunshu's inability to eat spicy food, Wan Xinyu used the spare ribs sent by Chef Wang from the cafeteria this morning, added red dates and radishes to make a clear soup base.
Taking into account the public taste, a spicy pot was made with Sichuan peppercorns, numbing peppercorns and chili peppers. The taste was so strong that it went straight to the top of my head.
Two pieces of pork tenderloin are sliced into thin slices, which are usually used for hot pot, and the other half is put into the oil pan to make fried crispy pork.
The soaked vermicelli, dried black fungus, dried shiitake mushrooms, and the tofu in the cupboard that had not been eaten yet were washed and cut into pieces.
Because Shen Yunshu was pregnant and had a baby, the vegetable garden in front of her house had been left unattended. Fortunately, Liu Meiling helped to take care of it and even asked someone to get some farm manure to spread in the garden.
The green vegetables are growing well. Fist-sized tomatoes are hanging on the branches. Shen Yunshu's favorite eggplant is also full of fruits. The green peppers are green. The cucumber and bean seedlings are propped up high with sticks, about one meter high.
Grandpa Gu picked a cucumber casually, rubbed it on his body twice and put it in his mouth. There was a crisp sound and his mouth was full of cucumber flavor. It was a real pollution-free green food.
Suddenly, Grandpa Gu felt like drinking: "Wan boy, help me mix a cucumber and add some peanuts. I want to use it to go with the wine later."
Wan Xinyu looked at the old man's excited expression and poured a basin of cold water on him:
"Grandma Gu just nagged you yesterday, telling you not to drink. How come you forgot in the blink of an eye? If Grandma Gu knew you were drinking again, she would probably be angry again."
Grandpa Shen was not afraid of making trouble and continued to add fuel to the fire and ridiculed:
"It's common knowledge that your Grandpa Gu is afraid of his wife, and I'm afraid it won't change in this lifetime."
A man lives by his face, a tree by its bark. Grandpa Gu, whose face was red with embarrassment, stiffened his neck and said:
"Whoever dares not drink today is a grandson."
Grandpa Shen took advantage of the victory and continued, “Old Gu, this is what you said, no one forced you.”
"I said, no one forced me." At worst, I would be scolded by the old woman today, but a man cannot lose face, otherwise he will be laughed to death by this old guy in the future.
Grandpa Shen smiled after achieving his goal. Thanks to Lao Gu, he could indulge his drinking craving again tonight.
Wan Xinyu went back after picking the vegetables. Unable to resist the two old men's urging, he quickly picked two cucumbers, poured in half a bowl of peanuts, and seasoned them with homemade red chili oil, as well as the indispensable aged vinegar, salt, etc.
The two old men were like little mice stealing oil. They held the bowl of cold cucumbers and started eating them one bite at a time.
Before it was time for dinner, more than half of the cucumbers in the bowl had been eaten.
If Wan Xinyu hadn't reminded them, the cucumbers in the bowl would have been eaten up by them. Feeling guilty, the two of them went to the vegetable garden to pick two more cucumbers and mixed them in.
While Gu Jiuyan was still at get off work, Wan Xinyu, who had been in the kitchen all day, hurriedly made a flavored eggplant dish. Because he had to take care of Shen Yunshu who was in confinement, he didn't dare to add too many ingredients.
Fortunately, the taste difference is minimal.
Gu Jiuyan came back from get off work with two crucian carps in his hands. The whole family looked at the crucian carps in his hands curiously.
Gu Jiuyan explained: "On the way back, Zhang Desheng's wife gave it to me, saying it was for Shushu's health, so I accepted it."
Grandma Gu said, "The Zhang family is so thoughtful. We have some freshly fried crispy pork at home. Send some to the Zhang family while it's still hot. And don't forget to go to the Jiang family too.
Meiling brought a watermelon this afternoon. We enjoyed it so much and even left a piece for you in the cupboard.
"Okay, I'll go now." After arriving home, Gu Jiuyan didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. He went out again with two small bowls of crispy meat in his hands.
Gu Jiuyan went to Zhang's house first. When Zhang Desheng and his wife saw that it was him, they warmly invited him to their home for dinner.
"My family is still waiting for me to come back. This meat has just been fried. Remember to eat it while it's hot."
After saying that, Gu Jiuyan handed the bowl in his hand over. Zhang Desheng's wife Wang Mengjiao quickly took it, went back to the house to take out the meat, and washed the empty bowl and returned it.
The other people in the tube building looked at Zhang Desheng and his wife with envy. First, they envied that their family could have meat to eat, and second, they envied that they could establish a relationship with the Gu family.
Gu Jiuyan is the youngest regimental commander in the entire army, and Gu Jiuyan's father-in-law is a division commander. It is conceivable that with the connection to the Gu family, a rich life in the future will be within reach.
Zhang Desheng and his wife returned home amid everyone's envy. The two children at home looked at the bowl of meat on the table and swallowed their saliva, but no one dared to touch it.
Wang Mengjiao looked at it with a sad face: "It tastes better when it's hot. Try it quickly. If you like it, wait until your dad pays his allowance next month, and I'll go to the meat processing factory to buy some meat and cook it for you."
Only after getting the adults' approval did the two children dare to take action.
Wang Mengjiao said, "Lao Zhang, I don't think the Gu family is unreasonable. As long as we are sincere to each other, we will be right."
"Wife, I will listen to you."
On the other side, at the Jiang family, when Gu Jiuyan was about to go back after delivering the things, he suddenly found a leg pendant on his leg. He looked down and saw that it was the little ball Jiang Shuyao.
Gu Jiuyan bent down and held the little girl in his arms.
"Uncle, I miss Lili..."
After hearing what his daughter said, Jiang Chen's expression became as ugly as if he was constipated, while Gu Jiuyan laughed out loud.
"I'll take you back to see that brat."
"Thank you, uncle." The little dumpling was still very polite.
It was dinner time, and Jiang Chen and his wife didn't want to cause trouble for the Gu family, so they wanted to take Jiang Shuyao from Gu Jiuyan's arms.
Jiang Shuyao hugged Gu Jiuyan's neck tightly and refused to let go, making it clear that she wanted to go back with Gu Jiuyan.
