Chapter 61 Visit to Master Zhou
Gu Zheng smiled and nodded. Commander Zhou heard the noise in the yard and also walked out of the study.
"You little brat, you're finally here."
Gu Zheng proudly introduced them to the others: "Master, aunt, this is my wife Lin Yunxi and my son Gu Jiayan."
"Wife, this is Commander Zhou and his wife that I often mentioned to you."
Lin Yunxi smiled appropriately and greeted politely, "Hello, Commander Zhou, and Madam Commander."
Zhou Guoan had a kind face and said with a smile: "It's too formal to call me that. Just call me Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou."
When the two elders saw Lin Yunxi and Yanyan, they felt as if they had seen their own daughter-in-law and grandson, and were very friendly.
Aunt Zhou, in particular, liked the pretty, soft-spoken little girl the most. She stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yunxi's hand.
He smiled and said, "Your uncle Zhou is right. Those positions in the family are empty. Just treat us as normal elders."
Lin Yunxi could truly feel the intimacy in their words, so she did not refuse and just shouted.
"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou."
"Why."
Lin Yunxi pulled his son over and taught him, "Yanyan, call grandpa and grandma."
"Hello, Grandpa and grandma, my name is Gu Jiayan, I'm over two years old, and I'm your child." Yanyan always listens to his mother, and he introduced himself obediently.
"Hey, what a good kid, he looks just like you and your wife, he looks as good as a lucky doll."
Sun Xiuying's face was full of joy. She picked up Yanyan, held her in her arms and kissed her sweetly.
Yanyan knew that this was the way adults showed their love for people, so she affectionately put her arms around the neck of the grandma she had just met and snuggled in her arms obediently.
Sun Xiuying was so happy about this that she hugged Yanyan and kept calling him her good grandson.
She also has a grandson at home. He is now at an age where even cats and dogs dislike him and he is extremely naughty all day long.
You should be thankful that you are not angry with them. How could Yanyan be so well-behaved and lovable?
Zhou Guoan watched eagerly from the side, but couldn't get in the fight, so he simply put the gift he had prepared in advance - a small and exquisite jade Guanyin - around Yanyan's neck.
As the saying goes, men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. The homonym of Guanyin is "guanyin", which also represents the old couple's expectations for Yanyan, hoping that he can achieve something when he grows up.
This was the gift the old couple had prepared when they heard Gu Zheng say that his wife and children were coming to join the army. Now it has finally been given out.
"This is a gift from your grandparents. Do you like it?"
Yanyan touched the pendant on her neck with curiosity and spoke in a soft and tender voice.
"Yanyan likes it very much. Thank you, grandpa and grandma."
Gu Zheng and Lin Yunxi were naturally very happy to see that their son was so lovable.
After the grandfather and grandson had finished their intimacy, Lin Yunxi handed over the gift in his hand.
"Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, this is a gift for you two elders."
As expected, Zhou Guoan declined, saying, "We are all family, why should we be so polite?"
Lin Yunxi said in a gentle voice: "Gu Zheng said the same thing, but it's our first time meeting an elder, how can we come empty-handed?"
"Most of this is made by me. It's not worth much. Please take it."
Lin Yunxi had already said this, so Zhou Guoan accepted the gift and gave some instructions.
"Next time you come home, don't bring it with you."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After saying hello, Zhou Guoan and Gu Zheng took Yanyan to the study to discuss things, while Lin Yunxi followed Aunt Zhou to the kitchen to help.
She put the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that she brought from home on the stove and simmered it over low heat.
Sun Xiuying said with a smile as she looked at the delicious food bubbling in the pot.
"Ever since your uncle Zhou ate the roast chicken you sent him, he has been telling me that the cooking technique was amazing. Looks like I'm in for a treat tonight."
Lin Yunxi skillfully took the apron and tied it around her waist, saying modestly.
"Thank you for the compliment. Let me cook the rest of the dishes. I'll let you and Uncle Zhou taste my cooking today."
Sun Xiuying readily agreed. Apart from the rather authentic braised pork ribs, her other dishes were pretty average. She was hoping to change the taste today.
Lin Yunxi glanced around the kitchen. The vegetable basket contained a fish, a chicken, nearly two kilograms of large shrimps, and a handful of water spinach.
Although Uncle Zhou is the division commander, his monthly allowance is relatively high.
But in such difficult times, the family was able to buy so many dishes to entertain them, which shows how much Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou valued them.
Lin Yunxi thought for a moment and suggested, "Then let's make braised fish, clay pot chicken and boiled shrimp, and prepare a bowl of sauce. For the vegetarian dish, we'll make garlic-flavored water spinach."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
With Lin Yunxi's superb cooking skills and her mastery of seasoning and heat, four delicious meals with good color, aroma and taste were ready in just over half an hour.
Finally, we added Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and a full pot of braised bones, filling the entire table.
At this time, Zhou Huihui also came back with her nephew Zhou Ziang, just in time for dinner.
"Wow, it smells so good." Zhou Ziang was a little surprised when he looked at the table full of delicious food. He took a deep breath and said.
Seeing that there was no one in the yard, he was about to reach out and secretly take a piece of meat to taste it, but the next second, his grandmother slapped him on the back of his hand.
"Don't eat secretly. Go wash your hands first."
"Oh." Zhou Ziang curled his lips, withdrew his hand obediently, and looked at the strange woman standing next to his grandmother with some curiosity.
Sun Xiuying introduced to Lin Yunxi: "This is my little girl Zhou Huihui and little grandson Zhou Ziang."
Then he looked at his own daughter and said, "This is your brother Xiaozheng's wife. Hurry up and call someone."
Zhou Huihui was a little quiet and called out softly, "Hello, sister-in-law."
"Hello, auntie." Zhou Ziang is quite lively and not shy at all.
Lin Yunxi smiled and nodded, and greeted softly: "Hello."
The next second, Zhou Ziang spotted the building blocks placed next to the table. He trotted over and hugged them in his arms curiously.
With sparkling eyes and a face full of excitement, he asked, "Is this for me?"
Lin Yunxi nodded and said softly, "It's a gift for you. Huihui also has one. It's a silk scarf. See if you like it."
Zhou Huihui's face was full of disbelief. She had just graduated from high school and was no longer a child.
She didn't expect to receive a gift, and it was the scarf she had always wanted.
Zhou Huihui took the scarf and looked at it lovingly. Both the color and material were much better than the scarves made of synthetic fabrics sold in state-owned stores.
She could already imagine how good it would look when worn around her neck. Her classmates and friends would definitely be super envious.
