The two elderly people in the family were the ones who cared most about Lin Yu. Early in the morning, Grandpa Lin sat in the yard picking vegetables and looking at the sky. Everyone knew that he was waiting for Lin Yu to come home.
Grandma Lin then started preparing a meal, even killing the chickens she raised.
They all knew the deadline on Lin Yu's letter of introduction and had long guessed that she would definitely arrive today.
Lin Yu's plan to go home by herself and surprise them has fallen through.
She overlooked the special characteristics of this era. With such strict population control now, everyone around her would know a person's whereabouts.
Anyway, there's no way I can give you any surprises.
But as soon as Lin Yu stepped into the courtyard, the aroma of chicken soup gave her a pleasant surprise.
"It smells so good, it's the smell of Grandma's cooking!"
During her time in Beicheng, although she took her grandfather to many famous restaurants, if she had to rank them in her heart, Grandma Lin's cooking would definitely be number one.
Although Grandma Lin cooks only home-style dishes, she is very skilled and can bring out the original flavor of the dishes to the greatest extent.
Lin Yu has a very discerning palate; every time she eats Grandma Lin's cooking, it's a reward for her taste buds.
Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin heard the noise in the kitchen and ran out together.
"Xiaoyu! You're back."
Lin Yu smiled and hugged the two elderly people: "Yes, Grandpa and Grandma, I'm back."
The grandparents both blushed. They were used to being reserved, and being suddenly hugged by the child made them feel quite embarrassed.
But I was overjoyed; my child was finally home.
Lin Yu didn't make them feel too uncomfortable and quickly let them go: "Are you making something delicious?"
Grandma Lin nodded and said with a smile, "I'm making chicken soup with mushrooms in it. Your grandfather brought them over."
That's why they say, "It's always good to be at home."
As soon as Lin Yu entered, she felt a warm feeling in her heart, more comforting than drinking a bowl of hot soup in the dead of winter.
Hearing the sound, Da Niu ran out like lightning: "Sister, you're back!"
Seeing that she looked well, Lin Yu smiled and said, "Yes, you're on vacation? How did you get back?"
Da Niu said she was covering for someone else's shift and could take two days off in lieu of leave. Including today, she wouldn't leave until tomorrow.
She came back with the food factory's delivery truck, which was very convenient.
Lin Yu nodded: "Why is it about covering for someone else?"
The girl is young; she might be bullied by older people at work without even realizing it.
Da Niu said with a grin, "No, it's a colleague. She twisted her ankle and had to stay home to rest for two days, so I took over her work."
Hearing that she hadn't been bullied, Lin Yu said, "It's good that you weren't bullied."
When Da Niu came back, her family asked her about this several times, as they were all afraid she would be bullied.
She explained patiently, her heart filled with happiness.
The family sat down for a meal, and everyone was so impressed by Grandma Lin's cooking skills that they ate without even looking up.
Tie Dan's mouth was full of oil, but he still said, "The chicken is so delicious."
Grandma Lin originally intended to share the two chicken drumsticks with Lin Yu and Da Niu, who were often away from home, but they were too embarrassed to eat them all by themselves.
Finally, Lin Yu made hand-shredded chicken, added some seasonings and mixed it, giving it a unique flavor.
......
After dinner, the family sat together and listened to Lin Yu recount her experiences in Beicheng.
She also shared the local specialties she brought back with her family, and then took out three roast ducks, saying, "I had just forgotten about these. Let's eat them tonight."
Xiao Bao exclaimed, "Is this the roast duck that the book talks about?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, Xiao Bao knows this?"
"Yes, I saw it mentioned in the book."
Despite his young age, Xiao Bao has already read extensively and learned a great deal from books.
Now that he has seen the roast duck in person, his curiosity has surpassed his desire for it.
Tie Dan, on the other hand, only had eyes for food and kept clamoring to try the roast duck.
Unfortunately, everyone had just finished eating and couldn't eat anymore. In the end, under the threat of being slapped on the buttocks by Lin Shan, Tie Dan had no choice but to give in.
Lin Yu also brought back several pretty dresses and hair clips for Coco.
The northern part of the city is a big city, and the clothes there have more variety.
Lin Yu couldn't take her eyes off the little dresses in the clothing store and insisted on buying them for her child.
We didn't have enough cloth coupons, so we had to borrow some from Gu Yunze.
Later, he received the subsidies from his parents and returned them to Gu Yunze.
Even at such a young age, Coco knows how to love beauty and insists on wearing dresses whenever she sees one.
Zhou Hehua had no choice but to thank Lin Yu and then go inside to help the child get dressed.
Grandma Lin had no time for anything else; she was focused on getting Lin Yu to tell her about his parents' situation.
Lin Yi's eyes were also sparkling as he stared at her; he hadn't seen his parents in a long time either.
Compared to Lin Yu, he spent more time with his parents and was still young, so he naturally missed them more.
Lin Yu then explained their recent situation: "It's not easy to get in there. If it weren't for Gu Yunze's help, I probably wouldn't have been able to get in."
Moreover, even with Gu Yunze, the group leader, guaranteeing it, they only gave Lin Yu two hours to meet.
Not a second more.
Hearing the solemn tone, Grandma Lin asked worriedly, "Will everything be alright? Will they get bullied?"
Lin Yu comforted her, "Of course not, we'd be more flattered than anything else. My dad said the food there is exceptionally delicious, and the chef's skills are second only to yours."
Such a clown act—of course, those were the words of Lin Shengli.
Grandma Lin shook her head with a smile: "Your dad is still so irresponsible."
Then he asked, "Where is your mother?"
