Han Zhe was the last one to come over. He had another high-intensity training today and was soaked in sweat when he finished work. He ran back to the family dormitory and took a shower before riding his bike over.
As soon as he arrived, Li Suyao immediately got up to serve the dishes.
As soon as Han Zhe saw the dishes on the table tonight, he knew they were made by Yun Huaying. He smiled and said, "Zhengzi, you invited Yun Zhiqing to come over to play, but you still asked her to cook. This is not a good arrangement."
"We don't need to be so polite when we're family."
After Han Zheng finished speaking, he smiled at Yun Huaying.
Yun Huaying pretended not to notice. When she first met him, she thought he was taciturn and serious. Now that they had a closer look, she realized that what she saw before was only the surface, and he was also a reserved and reserved person in his bones.
Li Suyao brought out the clay pot she had been looking forward to the most, placed it directly in the middle of the dining table, and introduced it to everyone with a smile: "I made this dish. Huaying taught me."
“This dish my mom made is super delicious.”
Han Lin followed closely behind, placing her steamed taro spareribs on the table and introducing them with a smile: "I made this dish, and Huaying taught me how to make it."
"And this pot of chicken soup was also cooked by Xiaolin, and Huaying helped prepare the tonic." Han Zheng placed another dish on the table.
Seeing these three delicious dishes, the Han family's eyes lit up. Han Bingyu raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that our family is not lacking in culinary genes, but lacking a famous chef to guide us."
"Yes, that's the case. It's not that I don't know how to cook, it's just that no one taught me." Li Suyao agreed with her sister-in-law's opinion.
Han Zheng continued to serve the dishes and placed a large bowl of sizzling bacon in front of Han Zhe. "Brother Zhe, this is fried by Huaying, your favorite."
"Tsk tsk, what a delicious dish! I'm going to have five bowls of rice tonight."
Han Zhe was already hungry, so he jumped up and rushed over to get some rice.
The braised pork that the Yun family sent last night has not been finished yet. It has just been heated up and served. There are also two spicy side dishes and a refreshing plate of cold shredded lettuce. After all the dishes are served, we will sit down and start eating.
"Hanako, have a bottle of soda."
Han Zheng bought some soda in the morning. Tonight, except for his dad who drank a little wine, everyone else drank soda.
After he poured wine for the elders, Yun Huaying took out her soda and politely toasted, "Uncle, aunt, and aunt, thank you for your hospitality. I'll use soda instead of wine to toast you."
The three elders all smiled and clinked glasses with her. Han Zhangping also smiled and said, "Huaying, thank you for your hard work in preparing this meal today. Please sit down and eat. Eat as much as you like."
After that, he also instructed his son: "Zhengzi, give Huaying a bowl of cold chicken soup and give her more vegetables."
"I can just pick it up myself."
As soon as Yun Huaying finished speaking, Li Suyao and Han Zheng, mother and son, picked up some food for her: a chicken leg and a shrimp.
Han Lin also picked up a shrimp and wanted to put it in her future sister-in-law's bowl. But when her second brother picked it up for her, she put it in her father's bowl. "Dad, eat some shrimp. Huaying taught Mom how to make this. It should be delicious."
Han Bingyu was already eating. After trying the taste, she nodded in praise: "It's delicious. This dish made by sister-in-law is delicious. The seafood tastes good with garlic."
Seeing that they all said it tasted good, Li Suyao also picked up a clam to try, "There are also vermicelli, cabbage and pickled tofu underneath."
They were all eating the main dish in the middle, only Han Zhe was eating the bacon in big mouthfuls. He finished a full bowl of rice in less than half a minute and stood up to get more rice.
Seeing him eat so quickly, Yun Huaying raised her eyebrows slightly: "Brother Zhe eats too fast."
"All soldiers are like this."
Han Zheng eats quickly, especially after high-intensity training. When he is starving, he can finish a bowl of rice in no time.
Han Zhe brought the meal over. After tasting the dishes cooked by Second Aunt and cousin, he also praised: “These dishes are well cooked and delicious.”
"Zhezi, you should find a wife who can cook in the future. She doesn't have to be like Huaying who can cook a lot of delicious dishes. She should be able to cook home-cooked meals so that you can have a hot meal when you get home from work."
Li Suyao herself can't cook. In the past, when her husband came home from work after a hard day and her children came home from school, they could only eat food in the cafeteria to fill their stomachs. She actually felt a little guilty, but her husband didn't care about this, and the children were used to it. They all understood that she worked hard and didn't force her to cook.
"It doesn't matter if you can't cook, as long as you have good character and personality." Han Zhe didn't have high requirements.
Li Suyao smiled and scooped him a large spoonful of chicken. "Okay, everything depends on fate. As long as the two of us get along well and live happily, that's all that matters."
Yun Huaying ate her food slowly and carefully. She didn't eat much. After finishing a bowl of rice and a bowl of chicken soup, she put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm done. Everyone, eat slowly."
"Huaying, are you full?" Li Suyao just noticed that she didn't have any more rice.
"I'm full."
Yun Huaying smiled faintly, "I haven't done any physical work recently, and I just had some fruit. A bowl of rice and a bowl of soup will be enough."
Speaking of manual labor, Jiao Minmin, who had never been to the countryside, asked curiously, "Sister Huaying, was it hard to be an educated youth in the countryside? Did you have to work in the fields every day? What kind of work did you do?"
"The busy farming season is quite tiring. I haven't been in the countryside long and have never done farm work before, so I don't know how to do many tasks. When I first arrived, I was assigned to pull weeds. Gradually, as my strength improved, I learned to dig, turn the soil, and plant seeds."
"We can only receive one month's food subsidy when we go to the countryside. For the rest, we have to work and earn work points and food. Except on rainy days, we have to work all the time."
"The more labor-intensive the work, the more work points you get. The easier the work, the fewer work points you get. The scorekeeper will tally them up at the end of each day."
"The more work points you get, the more food you get; the fewer work points you get, the less food you get."
Jiao Minmin understood and asked weakly, "Sister Huaying, are the work points you earn and the food you get enough to support yourself?"
Yun Huaying wasn't sure either, so she gave an awkward smile and said, "It should be...okay."
Everyone was smart, and they knew from her expression that it was very reluctant. Li Suyao immediately assigned her son a task: "Zhengzi, when you and Huaying go back, you have to help her with the work, credit her with the work points, and help her do more work to earn more food."
"If that's not enough, buy her some food. Winter is coming soon, so you need to stock up on food and vegetables for her."
"And the same goes for your grandparents. Don't let them go hungry in the winter."
Before Han Zheng could answer, Yun Huaying spoke up, "Aunt, I'm not in any trouble here. Food might be a bit of a stretch, but I have money. I can buy it from the team, the neighbors, or even from the county town."
"Zhengzi hasn't settled on a job yet, so ask him to help you prepare some things. Also, let him do some hard and heavy physical work so you don't tire yourself out." Li Suyao already regarded her as her future daughter-in-law, so she naturally asked her son to help more with these matters.
Yun Huaying smiled softly, "He helped us do the heavy physical work. He helped us chop wood, brought water home, and he also taught us how to set traps and catch game in the mountains."
"This is what he should do." Li Suyao was very satisfied with her son's performance.
