Chapter 23: Do you like going to school?
Of course, these two things are also indispensable, so just make some steamed prawns and steamed sea bass, and that will be enough for the meat dishes.
The vegetable garden that was abandoned at the beginning has now grown lushly after Lin Yunxi's careful care.
Colorful vegetables and fruits cover the entire vegetable garden like a rainbow.
Even Mother Gu, who had cultivated so much land and was very experienced, couldn't help but marvel every time she saw him, and exclaimed that Lin Yunxi was born with a pair of skillful hands.
Especially the eggplants in the yard, which were growing very juicy. Lin Yunxi immediately decided on the vegetarian dish for tonight: fish-flavored eggplants.
Finally, there is soup. No matter whether in modern times or across time, Lin Yunxi insists on having a bowl of soup before every dinner.
Drinking soup before meals can not only nourish the spleen and stomach, warm the stomach and drive away the cold, but also serve as an appetite whet, and it has many benefits.
It just so happened that she had just slaughtered a pig today, and the pig's trotters could be used to make pig's trotter and kidney bean soup.
This dish needs to be stewed for a long time, and the soup should be stewed until it is snow-white and the pig's trotters are stewed until they are soft and mushy, only then it will be delicious.
Here, Lin Yunxi was busy at home, and Gu Jiahao, who was in class at school, could no longer hold back.
He couldn't concentrate on the teacher's lecture at the podium and was only thinking about tonight's dinner.
After enduring the last ten minutes, as soon as the school bell rang, Gu Jiahao rushed out of the classroom like a flash.
It was so fast that I couldn't even hear the homework assigned by the teacher.
"Second Aunt, Yanyan, I'm back from school." Smelling the fragrance floating in the air, Gu Jiahao became even more excited.
Hearing his voice before seeing him. From a distance, Lin Yunxi could hear his energetic shouting.
She shook her head in amusement and looked at the little guy who quickly rushed into the yard.
"Look at you running away. The meat is in the pot and can't escape. When has Second Aunt failed to fulfill her promise to you?"
As he spoke, Lin Yunxi picked up the towel and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Gu Jiahao chuckled, holding up his dark red smiling face, and let his second aunt "ravage" him, enjoying it very much.
He really likes his second aunt, and she always speaks and acts gently.
If he did well, Second Aunt would praise him generously;
After he did something wrong, Second Aunt would not beat him directly, but would explain things to him earnestly.
This time, the title of the composition was "My Dearest", and Gu Jiahao filled in his second aunt without hesitation.
To him, his second aunt Lin Yunxi is an elder, a teacher, and a friend.
If he has something that he cannot say in front of his parents, he can complain to his second aunt and ask for her advice.
"Okay, you and Yanyan go clean up the table and take out the dishes and chopsticks. We're ready to eat."
In order to prepare for this big meal, Gu Jiahao barely ate any food at noon today, and his stomach was already growling with hunger.
"Okay, Yanyan, come and help your brother get the chopsticks."
"Coming, coming." Yanyan listened to her brother very much and took small steps to help.
After clearing the table, Gu Jiahao sensibly brought the food from the chopping board to the table.
Lin Yunxi took out the braised pork elbow and pork trotter and kidney bean soup that were still simmering in the pot and brought them to the dining table.
The table was filled with Typhoon Shelter Prawns, Steamed Sea Bass, Braised Pork Knuckle, Braised Pork with Pickled Mustard Greens, Fish-flavored Eggplant and Pork Trotter and Kidney Bean Soup.
The small table had to bear so much that it could barely hold even the bowls and chopsticks.
Before serving the dishes, Lin Yunxi took out some of each dish and kept them warm in the pot.
They had dinner quite early today, so we'll have dinner later.
Let Jiahao bring it back to the old house for Mr. and Mrs. Gu to prepare a meal so that they don’t have to cook later.
The two children sat down obediently, waiting for Lin Yunxi to start eating first.
"It's time to eat!" She picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in the bowl, then said.
Gu Jiahao immediately shouted, "Long live Second Aunt!"
The voice was so loud and clear that Yanyan also shouted loudly: "Long live Mom!"
Lin Yunxi smiled and looked at the two children: "Alright, alright, eat it quickly, or it will taste bad if it gets cold."
After Gu Jiahao gulped down a small bowl of pig's trotter soup, he reached out for the shiny, rosy-red braised pork elbow without any hesitation.
He had never eaten such a big piece of meat in his life. Even during the year when the food was the best, it was considered good enough to be able to eat a whole chicken leg.
"Second Aunt, the pork elbow you made is so delicious. What's the word for that?"
Gu Jiahao's little mouth was shiny from eating. He held up his thumb and racked his brains to recall the words he had learned in school.
Lin Yunxi didn't remind him, but looked at him encouragingly and let him figure it out on his own.
After a moment, Gu Jiahao swallowed the food in his mouth and said with sudden enlightenment.
"It's soft and tasty, fragrant but not greasy. Second Aunt, do you think I'm right?"
Lin Yunxi nodded in agreement and peeled a prawn and put it in his bowl.
"Yes, Jiahao said it very well. Second Aunt will reward you with a big shrimp."
Seeing this, little Yanyan was not to be outdone. He clumsily used a small spoon to scoop up a piece of fish meat that his mother had picked out the bones from.
He stuffed a big mouthful into his mouth and began to chew it with relish.
As his vocabulary was really limited, he held it in for a long while before he gave the compliment sincerely in his sweet little baby voice.
"The food my mother cooks is delicious. Yanyan loves it the most."
I heard my brother say this after holding it in for so long.
Gu Jiahao said with a smile: "Yanyan, you are too general. You should say that the fish cooked by Second Aunt is fresh and delicious."
Yanyan was unhappy when her brother laughed at her. She pouted her little mouth and looked at her brother accusingly.
Gu Jiahao couldn't resist his brother's eye attack and immediately comforted him.
"Yanyan, you are already very good."
Afraid that his brother would not believe him, he added: "Really, my brother is so talented in writing because he has already gone to school."
"When you go to school, you will be able to speak eloquently like your brother."
Gu Jiahao praised himself shamelessly, not feeling that he was exaggerating at all, because he got an A for his weekly diary last week.
The teacher even read his composition aloud on the podium in front of the whole class. Isn't this literary talent?
Yanyan felt somewhat comforted after hearing his brother's words, but he looked at his most trusted mother for confirmation.
Receiving the signal from his son, Lin Yunxi quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes from trying not to laugh, and nodded heavily.
"Your brother Jiahao is right. When our baby grows a little taller, mom will send you to school, okay?"
"Okay!" Yanyan raised the corners of her mouth happily.
Only the expression on Gu Jiahao's face was hard to describe. How could a child like going to school?
I have to do homework every day, and if I can't answer an question in class, I will be spanked by the teacher.
