Li Huizhu was genuinely pleasantly surprised when Lin Yu delivered the two boxes of mooncakes.
Now, you need mooncake coupons or pastry coupons to buy them at department stores, and they're not cheap.
Two boxes of mooncakes, eight in each box, making a total of sixteen mooncakes – quite a generous gesture.
When Li Huizhu received the package, she was knitting a sweater with a group of neighbors.
When I opened it to show everyone, I received many envious glances.
Knowing that it was sent by Gu Yunze's girlfriend, and seeing the name of Qingshan Food Factory on it.
Many people have asked why it's not sold in the North City area.
The packaging is so beautiful, and the flavor is so novel. If they had it, they would like to buy it as a gift.
Li Huizhu had just asked around and learned that the mooncakes were selling like hotcakes in their province, and the factory couldn't keep up with the production.
Naturally, they wouldn't go to such lengths to stock up in the northern part of the city.
Therefore, her mooncakes are truly unique in the northern part of the city.
Li Huizhu felt very proud and pleased, so she went to buy some things and asked Gu Yunze to send them to Lin Yu as a return gift.
Sure enough, Gu Yunze went out to run some errands and sent something along the way, and Lin Yu called him.
Gu Henglin looked at her gloating expression and said, "That's your son. He'll be unhappy when he gets back and finds out he missed Comrade Lin Yu's call."
Li Huizhu didn't care: "If he's interested, he'll naturally find a way to contact her. He can't expect me, his mother, to find him a girlfriend, can he?"
"But I really like Xiaoyu. I wish we could get married and be together soon."
Gu Henglin also likes Lin Yu very much. His previous daughter was an ingrate who never sent him a single greeting during holidays.
Gu Yunze is a man who doesn't like to talk or express himself.
So when he received Lin Yutian's sweet holiday wishes, he felt incredibly happy.
So when Gu Yunze got home, before he could even say anything, he received the bad news that his girlfriend had called him, which he had perfectly missed.
He was also criticized by his parents, who said he was useless and hadn't gotten married after so long.
Gu Yunze frowned, ignoring their last sentence, only unhappy that he hadn't received Lin Yu's call.
It's a rare opportunity to speak, how could I let it slip by?
Although he had included a letter he wrote in the package when he sent it.
But writing a letter is nowhere near as good as making a phone call where you can hear each other.
After talking for a while, seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Huizhu said to him with disdain, "You taciturn guy, when are you going to marry Xiaoyu?"
Gu Yunze remained silent. He wanted to, but there was nothing he could do.
He should think about how to start a conversation with Lin Yu.
Back at the Lotus Brigade, Lin Yu finished speaking with Gu's parents and hung up the phone, feeling a little disappointed.
She had been busy for a long time and finally had some free time, so she wanted to hear Gu Yunze's voice.
Unfortunately, he wasn't home.
But considering he went out to send something to me, I couldn't blame him.
At this moment, the two people, separated by thousands of kilometers, were both thinking of each other.
...
The Lin family's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was very lavish. Lin Yu bought fresh pork and ribs and specially made braised pork and mushroom and rib soup.
Braised pork belly must be served with white rice.
But in the end, I couldn't bear to part with it, so I mixed it with other grains and made mixed grain rice.
It contained white rice, and it tasted better than usual.
At least the family members who had never eaten plain white rice before were very satisfied with their meal.
A bite of braised pork with a mouthful of rice, followed by a sip of pork rib soup.
After doing this, I felt completely comfortable.
Tie Dan described it as, "Our family is eating even better than during the Chinese New Year."
Wang Zhaodi wholeheartedly agreed: "Even immortals don't eat as well as we do."
This drew a scolding from Lin Jianguo: "You're not allowed to say that."
Wang Zhaodi then remembered that what gods and immortals? That was feudal superstition and couldn't be talked about carelessly.
"Pah, pah, pah, I mean, we're living a really comfortable life."
Lin Yu didn't mind at all; she found the meal quite comfortable.
She bought the pork and ribs in the provincial capital because the supply and marketing cooperative only had pork available because it was almost a holiday.
She bought pork and ribs.
I saw some pork tripe and bought one, planning to make pork tripe and chicken soup sometime.
The pig's stomach is soaking in water right now, and we'll process it the next day.
Besides the meat dishes, the vegetarian dishes at this meal were also delicious.
Stir-fried greens with shiitake mushrooms.
The greens were grown in our own garden, and the shiitake mushrooms were cultivated in Qimei.
This vegetarian dish is just right to balance out the greasiness of the braised pork.
Of course, apart from Lin Yu, no one thought the braised pork would be greasy.
However, because Lin Yu added lard rendered from the pork while stir-frying the vegetables, they were also very fragrant.
Finally, of course, there was the "Clean Plate Campaign," where even the sauce from the braised pork was used by the children to mix with their rice.
Wang Zhaodi watched with envy. If she weren't an adult, she would also want to mix the rice.
There are many children in the family, so the last bit of soup was gone after each child was given a little.
Xiao Bao couldn't bear to see his mother licking her lips, so he shared a bite of his bibimbap with her.
Wang Zhaodi was so moved that she almost cried when she finally got to eat rice with braised pork sauce.
Her son is so sensible and filial.
She recalled that when she was a child at home, let alone eating meat, she could only eat vegetables after her parents and younger brother had finished eating them.
Later, when I arrived at the Lin family's house, I was able to eat with the whole family.
Now she's even eating such a large piece of braised pork, and her son is willing to share a bite of the broth with his rice.
Wang Zhaodi was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears.
He then used the act of wiping the table and washing the dishes to cover it up.
God knows, women who wail over the smallest things usually hide when they really want to cry.
It wasn't until bedtime that she finally spoke her mind to Lin Jianguo.
Lin Jianguo sighed: "Zhaodi, you'll definitely be able to eat meat often in the future. Forget about what you had when you were little."
In fact, Lin Jianguo is now gradually able to understand the reasons behind Wang Zhaodi's personality development.
Wasn't it caused by the abuse she suffered at her parents' home?
Moreover, Wang Zhaodi is improving more and more, and Lin Jianguo hopes that she will continue her efforts and become a completely new and better person in the future.
Wang Zhaodi wiped away her tears in his arms and said, "I'm not a bad person. I'll definitely live a few more years in such good times."
Lin Jianguo found it amusing and patted her on the back: "Yes, if you work hard in the future, it will be good for the children, and the children will be filial to us. If you live a few more years, you might be able to eat meat every day."
Wang Zhaodi laughed at him for dreaming: "Eating meat every day? Go to sleep, it'll happen in your dreams."
At that moment, Lin Jianguo realized he was just daydreaming, never imagining that one day it would actually come true...
Lin Yu had no idea that eating meat once could make Wang Zhaodi think of so many things.
After dinner, Wang Zhaodi went to wash the dishes and then went out.
When I got to the office, I was just about to make another call.
Just then, the phone rang.
