Chapter 72 Aunt, I want to stay for dinner
Barbecue is delicious when it is grilled and eaten at the same time.
Zhang Yang and Li Lin were very tactful as they cleaned up the wood chips and garbage generated during the installation of the playground.
Gu Zheng washed his hands and came over to help Lin Yunxi put the food on the skewers and arrange the dishes.
He looked at the vegetables and fruit trees in the yard and the green plants and flowers on the second floor, and spoke.
"It must be troublesome to take care of so many fruit trees."
After all, each fruit tree has different habits. Some like drought, some like water, some like light, and some don’t.
He would rather go cross-country running with weights than carry these things.
"It's not a big deal. Just water the plants. It's much easier than growing vegetables and flowers." Lin Yunxi said casually while busy with the work in his hands.
Gu Zheng thought so too. His wife was very good at hands-on work. The vegetables and flowers she grew were better than those grown by other people.
The key is that Lin Yunxi only waters and fertilizes the plants when he remembers.
If Gu Zheng had not seen with his own eyes the roses that Teacher Zhou kept in his office and changed four pots in one month, he would have really thought that growing flowers was an easy thing.
Even watering so many plants is a big task, and you have to climb up and down.
He couldn't bear to see his wife's tender little hands become rough because of work. His wife should be pampered and spoiled to the sky.
If Gu Zheng's cooking wasn't so bad and Lin Yunxi had clearly stated that cooking was her greatest pleasure, he would have actually taken on the cooking chores as well.
Gu Zheng then reminded: "Wife, leave the watering work to me, don't get involved, just give me instructions."
Lin Yunxi smiled, her eyes as clear as blue waves, filled with a hint of tenderness, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes also relaxed, making her look charming and attractive.
She tilted her head slightly, left a kiss on the man's cheek, and whispered, "Okay."
"Wife, be a good girl, and your husband will give you a kiss tonight." Gu Zheng's body stiffened, but he couldn't hide the corners of his mouth that were gradually rising.
It feels good to tease your man occasionally. Lin Yunxi winked playfully and said, "I know."
At this time, several children who were playing and sweating came back.
Yanyan is the youngest in the group, so Dazhuang, Xiaozhuang and the new member Zhou Ziang will send him home first every day.
After the four little ones came in, they were immediately attracted by the newly installed playground in the yard and rushed in excitedly to play.
Yanyan touched it left and right with care, her eyes sparkling and full of smiles.
He ran to his mother, hugged her legs and acted coquettishly.
"Thank you, Mom."
Lin Yunxi's hands were covered with seasoning, but she still bent down and kissed her son on the face, speaking gently.
"You're welcome. I also want to thank my father and two brothers. They made it and brought it back to install it."
Although Yanyan loves to quarrel with his father on weekdays, the two of them childishly fight for the chance to hold Lin Yunxi while sleeping at night.
But he did not hesitate at all and hugged his father who was cleaning grass carp from behind, rubbed his neck, and said softly.
"Thank you, Dad. Yanyan likes this playground very much."
Gu Zheng grinned, enjoying his son's intimacy, but he still spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"I'm glad you like it, but please don't wipe your stinky sweat on daddy's neck."
Since his father cleaned up the playground for him, Yanyan decided not to hold a grudge and not argue with his father.
He then looked at his two brothers and said, "Thank you, brothers."
Zhang Yang and Li Lin's hearts melted instantly, especially when they were thanked in a baby voice by a soft and tender little dumpling with delicate features.
The two smiled and replied, "You're welcome. If Yanyan needs anything in the future, come and ask us for help."
"good"
Looking at the happy family, Zhou Ziang's eyes dimmed and his young face was full of envy.
Since his parents were sent down to the countryside two years ago, the three of them have never seen each other again.
Although he could send a letter home every few months, it could not express his longing for her.
In order not to worry his grandparents and aunt, Zhou Ziang could only hide in the quilt and cry secretly when he missed his parents.
He looked at Xiao Yanyan who was smiling happily, and thought how nice it would be if his parents could be with him.
Lin Yunxi noticed this scene with sharp eyes, and her heart was filled with pity for the child Ziang.
Then she invited them, "Zi'ang, Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang, stay at my aunt's house for dinner tonight. I guess you haven't tried seafood barbecue yet."
Da Zhuang pulled up his younger brother who had just slid down the slide and said without thinking.
"Okay, Aunt Lin."
The two brothers often eat at Lin Yunxi's house. Just as Zhang Hongmei said, this place is like a second home for these two children.
Although Zhou Ziang is a little naughty at ordinary times, he is actually more mature and sensitive than his peers.
He thought about what his grandparents often taught him: not to bother others, and he felt a little hesitant.
Lin Yunxi picked up a piece of the freshly roasted clam meat, blew on it, and put it near Zhou Ziang's mouth.
Zhou Ziang subconsciously took the meat from his aunt's hand and ate it. With a light bite, the soup burst out in his mouth.
Without adding any seasoning, you can still taste the original sweetness of the clams.
Lin Yunxi looked at him with a smile and asked softly, "Is it delicious?"
Zhou Ziang nodded. There was a large table of food on the table and a barbecue grill next to it.
Uncle Gu was pickling grass carp, Aunt was grilling seafood, and the other two soldiers were helping to carry the bowls and chopsticks to serve the rice.
Yanyan, Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang were looking eagerly at the tempting lobsters and scallops on the grill.
Everyone was doing their own thing and there was basically no communication, but it seemed particularly warm and made people linger.
After a moment, Zhou Ziang found his voice and followed his inner thoughts.
"Aunt, I want to stay for dinner."
"Auntie welcomes you very much. Please also ask Ziang to help with the cooking skills." Lin Yunxi said, gently touching his neck.
"Okay! I'll go home and tell my grandparents and come over." Zhou Ziang said as he ran out the door.
Lin Yunxi warned from behind: "Run slower, we still have a while before we can have dinner, don't fall."
"I understand, aunt." Zhou Ziang had a bright smile on his face.
The meat, seafood and stir-fried dishes are all ready, but what's missing is some vegetables that can be grilled.
Lin Yunxi came to Dazhuang's house carrying a basket of vegetables.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to pick some vegetables. Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang will stay at my place for dinner tonight."
Zhang Hongmei was sitting at the kitchen door. She had become immune to her two sons' behavior of eating for free, so she said with a smile.
"Just pick whatever you want. What delicious food did your family make tonight?"
