Thinking of this, Lu Qing'er's anger subsided a lot, but after returning home, looking at the greasy and red pork elbow, she was still so angry that her heart was blocked and she couldn't eat dinner.
At the Yi family's side, Yi Yalan's eyes lit up when she saw the roast duck. While the old man wasn't paying attention, Yi's father kept winking at his daughter.
Xiao Yalan pursed her lips and smiled, nodding vigorously. When the old man wasn't paying attention, she leaned over to her father's ear, gave him a thumbs-up, and whispered, "Dad, you and Mom are really willing to spend so much! It's Quanjude roast duck. Luckily I quickly threw the box away. If Grandpa knew the price, he would probably give you a good scolding."
My father laughed quietly and gave his daughter a thumbs-up. "My dear daughter, you are really smart. Daddy loves you so much. To celebrate for my precious daughter, it is worth it no matter how expensive it is."
My father's idea is very simple. The couple goes out early and comes back late every day. They earn so little money. If they don't spend it on their daughter, where else can they spend it?
There's no other way in the military camp, you have to keep a low profile, otherwise he would want to be more extravagant.
At this time, my mother brought out two more dishes from the kitchen, and together with the roast duck and soup on the table, they made three dishes and one soup.
My mother understood my father very well and said to him, "Dad, since you said you don't want to be too extravagant, then I'll do as you say. I'll stir-fry these two extra dishes, along with some cooked food and a pot of soup. We won't be eating much tonight anyway, so we won't waste it."
As expected, the old man was very happy and praised me, "That's right. Extravagance is always bad. Sujuan, you cooked very well. Three dishes and a soup are enough for the four of us."
"Yes, yes, Dad, you are definitely right." Mom lifted her apron and wiped her hands. Mom Yalan looked at her mother and smiled.
While happily, he had already gotten his meal, and brought it to his grandfather first, then to his parents, and finally to himself.
My father had already poured four drinks, placed one in front of each person, and said, "Come on, let's celebrate like we did last time and use drinks instead of wine. Cheers."
"cheers!"
The four cups clinked together, and after finishing their drinks, it was time to eat. My mother tore off the two fattest duck legs, put one in her father-in-law's bowl, and gave the other to her daughter. However, My daughter Yalan picked up the other duck leg and put it in her grandfather's bowl. "Grandpa, you eat. I've been so grateful for your guidance during this time, and your granddaughter is here to thank you."
"Silly child, Grandpa is old, how can he eat so much greasy food? One is enough." Grandpa smiled with satisfaction and put the duck leg in Xiao Yalan's bowl. Xiao Yalan had no choice but to pick it up and hand it to her mother, saying to her father, "Ladies first, Dad, I'll give the duck leg to Mom first. You have worked hard during this period. I'm busy with work and training every day and haven't been able to pay attention to you properly."
After saying this, her mother's eyes became hot. She touched her daughter's head and said with a smile, "My child, I won't eat it. You should eat it yourself."
But Qi Yalan held her down and shook her head unwillingly, "Mom, you eat it. When we were little, you and Dad always gave the best things to me. Now that I'm grown up, it's my turn to give in to you."
The mother's eyes were sore, and she almost cried because of her daughter's words. The father advised her: "Wife, the child asked you to eat, so just eat it."
Old Man Yi also said, "Yes, Sujuan, since it's the child's intention, don't argue anymore. As a parent, you should be more generous. The child is so old now, it's only right for her to respect you."
Yalan smiled and said, "Grandpa is right, Mom, just eat it."
"Okay, okay, Mommy will eat it. Mommy will eat it right away." Mommy picked up the big duck leg and took a bite. She couldn't help it and her eyes sparkled.
Yi Yalan picked up two more pieces of the fattest duck meat and put them in Yi's father's bowl. Yi's father didn't hesitate and ate them right away.
Finally, Yi Yalan picked up two duck wings for herself and took a bite. They were fragrant and crispy. She sighed with satisfaction, "Delicious."
Quanjude roast duck is so expensive. Once you take a bite, it costs you money.
It was all for her, otherwise her parents wouldn't be doing this. Qi Yalan knew it very well.
The whole family laughed and finished their meal happily. Grandpa and his granddaughter sat on the sofa in the living room. Since his granddaughter was already a junior military doctor, he felt it necessary to tell her some other related knowledge.
"My dear granddaughter, now that you have passed the assessment and become a regular employee, you should be able to understand more clearly that being a military doctor is not that easy anymore."
