Chapter 56: Family dinner

After hearing what Liu Baoguo said, Wang Fen happily walked into the kitchen.

"Xiao Zhang, help me. I'll make a few of my specialties for my son."

Zhang Hongxia glanced at the chopping board that was nearly chopped in half by Wang Fen just now, and then looked at her current good mood. If there wasn't a chop mark on the chopping board, she would have suspected that she was dreaming just now.

Wang Fen cooked four or five dishes, but felt that they were not enough. "Xiao Zhang, these are the only dishes I am good at. They seem a little insufficient. How about you cook a few more dishes?"

"Okay, I'll take care of the rest." Zhang Hongxia said confidently. The dishes she and Mi Xia learned to cook were not just for show.

So Wang Fen took over to help Zhang Hongxia.

Wang Fen thought: Today is a good day, we should celebrate, after all, Mo Haoyue called us mom and dad.

Although we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, we are flesh and blood after all, and blood is thicker than water.

As soon as Mo Haoyue entered the door, the delicious smell made his stomach growl.

"Brother, I'm back."

Mi Qiu and Zhang Hongxia did not go to the stall today. There were guests at home, so he and his wife took the opportunity to take a break.

"Brother-in-law is back, go wash your hands, it'll be time for dinner soon." Mi Qiu said with a smile.

"Well, I sent a telegram to Mi Xia. If there is any telegram tomorrow, remember to call me." Mo Haoyue reminded.

Mi Qiu: "Okay, I'll call you tomorrow when someone delivers the telegram. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Wang Fen heard Mo Haoyue's voice and said anxiously, "Xiao Zhang, order a few more dishes."

"Aunt, there are still two. Please bring the prepared dishes to the table first."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhang."

Zhang Hongxia looked up at Wang Fen and smiled, only to see Wang Fen carefully carrying the best dish.

Every dish made by Wang Fen is very delicate, and every dish made by Zhang Hongxia is generous in portion and each is good in its own way.

"Please sit down and try my cooking." Wang Fen looked at Mo Haoyue expectantly.

On the table were three fresh delicacies, blanched choy sum, lion's head, Dongpo pork, and shredded pork with fish flavor.

On the other side were sweet and sour spare ribs, butterfly sea cucumber soup, eight-treasure melon soup, scallion lettuce and Kung Pao chicken.

Zhang Hongxia served everyone a bowl of rice, and she asked the children to eat at another small table.

"Haoyue, try this." Wang Fen picked up a piece of Dongpo pork with a serving chopstick and put it in Mo Haoyue's bowl.

"Thank you, Mom." Mo Haoyue smiled.

When Liu Baoguo heard his son calling for his mother, he quickly picked up a lion's head and put it into Mo Haoyue's bowl.

Then he sat up straight and looked at Mo Haoyue with a smile, which made Zhang Hongxia and Mi Qiu want to laugh so much, but they felt so uncomfortable holding it back.

Mo Haoyue couldn't help but feel better when he saw Liu Baoguo like this.

"Thank you, Dad. Come on, eat quickly. I'm so hungry from the smell of the food."

After that, the family started to eat quietly. After the meal, Zhang Hongxia went to clean up the dishes. Liu Baoguo looked at Mo Haoyue and said, "Come with me to the room."

There was no way, this was not his home, so he just went to the bedroom. Mo Haoyue followed Liu Baoguo upstairs and into the house.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Liu Baoguo: "Although the issue with your wife has been resolved, you will definitely not do it again in the future. What are your plans as a couple?"

Mo Haoyue hesitated for a while before saying, "To be honest, when I went to Baiwei's country that day, I planned to ask Uncle Bai if he would let my wife open a store."

"You know what happened next."

"What kind of store?"

"My wife wants to open a noodle shop, but the policy is a little unclear now, so I don't know how to open it."

Liu Baoguo: "I have an idea here, would you like to listen to it?"

Seeing Mo Haoyue nod, Liu Baoguo continued, "The manager of the Capital Hotel is my old classmate. So, when I go back, I will discuss with him whether to let them set up a separate pastry department."

"We'll let you run the business independently and keep your own accounts. Just pay the rent annually. They have quite a few stores, so you don't have to look for a room. You can just find a store downstairs from the hotel."

"Talk to Mi Xia about it. If she agrees, bring her to see me when you return to Kyoto. I'll arrange a meeting for them."

"Thank you, Dad." It felt good to be cared for, and Mo Haoyue smiled happily.

If Mi Xia knew this news, she would definitely be very happy. When he was still in Kyoto, she had been worried about how to arrange for Zhang Xiaoyu and the others.

Now that she was relieved, Mo Haoyue was really grateful to Liu Baoguo.

Liu Baoguo was very happy seeing Mo Haoyue smiling so happily.

"You go back and have a rest first. Tell me when you are going back to Kyoto and I will buy the ticket." Liu Baoguo reminded.

"There is still one thing I haven't done. I will be back in Kyoto in two days at most." Mo Haoyue said and left the room.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Liu Baoguo had breakfast and went out. He was going to see the Public Security Bureau Chief of G County.

Li Tailing, the current police chief of G County, used to be a company commander under him and has been transferred to the local area for 20 years.

Over the years, I wrote to him every holiday, and even when I was the director two years ago, I went to Beijing on a business trip to visit him.

"Young man, is Director Li here?" The young man opposite saw Liu Baoguo's aura and did not dare to be perfunctory, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, Director Li has not gone out all day. Who are you?"

"Please tell Director Li that Liu Baoguo from Kyoto wants to see him." When the young man heard that the person was from Kyoto, he dared not neglect him.

He hurriedly invited Liu Baoguo into the message room. "Please take a seat first. I will go and inform them."

After a while, a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair and a determined face appeared. Jogging all the way here.

The young man behind was secretly delighted. It seemed that the newcomer was really an important person. He had been working here for so long and had only met the director a few times.

Unexpectedly, this time, when the director heard him mention Kyoto and Liu Baoguo, he dropped the documents and ran out. This time, I showed up in front of the director.

Director Li ran to a place two meters away from the communication room, then suddenly stopped and saluted: "Hello, Chief!"

"Xiao Li, you don't need to call me Chief or anything like that outside."

"Yes, Commander! How come you are here? I'm so happy to see you!"

Liu Baoguo didn't care about him anymore. He let him yell whatever he wanted. "Xiao Li, how about we go inside and talk?"

"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, please come in!" Li Tailing said, then turned to the secretary and said, "I don't want to see guests."

Liu Baoguo: "Don't bother, I'll be gone in a minute."

In the reception room, Liu Baoguo recounted the whole story.

"I don't come here for no reason. I am a little selfish here. You know your sister-in-law's temper."

"I think your bureau should increase its efforts to ban gambling, especially in the area around Mojia Village. From what I understand, gambling is rampant there!"

"We must deal with them severely and strictly, and tell them about the dangers of gambling. Only in this way will the people know not to gamble!"

"Guarantee to complete the mission! Within two days! Commander, I will telegraph you the news! I will give you a military order." Although he has been retired for 20 years, Li Tailing's style of doing things is still the same as when he was in the army. What's more, this matter is within his job responsibilities and is not considered a violation.
