Chapter 106: Progress, big strides forward.
Gu Xixi also went to help clean up diligently. Gu Dong and Gu Nan looked at each other and also went to help.
Everyone was cleaning up, but the two of them were just sitting there doing nothing, looking quite lazy.
Before I finished cleaning up, someone in the kitchen called me to wash my hands and eat.
Yu Hui, Gu Qiuyan and Gu Qiuye brought the braised pork, mom's pig's trotters, and winter melon and pork ribs soup to the table.
Seeing so many meat dishes, Gu Bin and Gu Yang widened their eyes.
So much meat, is it Chinese New Year?
Zhao Changying took a breath of cold air.
Oh my God, so much meat, how many meat tickets and money will it cost?
Zhao Changying is used to being frugal, and her family would never eat like this during the Chinese New Year.
Although he felt that eating like this was too much, he just looked at Yu Hui helplessly and didn't say anything.
She knew that Xiaohui was thinking about them, missing them, and wanted to be nice to them, so she cooked so many delicious dishes on the first day they came.
People kindly prepare so many delicious dishes for you, and you blame them for making too much. Aren’t you ungrateful?
Besides, her son has been promoted to group leader, so it’s time to eat something good and celebrate.
Yu Hui made a dish called smashed cucumber, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fish-flavored eggplant, and stir-fried water spinach, which the children all loved.
My mother also made a dipping sauce for the pig's trotters with chili oil.
Although seven dishes didn't fill the table, they were still quite a few.
"Mom, try it and see if my cooking skills have improved." Yu Hui said to Zhao Changying.
Zhao Changying was not a person who would spoil the fun. She stretched out her chopsticks and took a bite of the braised pork which looked the most delicious.
It melts in your mouth, is rich but not greasy, and leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.
It suits her taste and her appetite.
"You've made progress, a big step forward." Zhao Changying praised generously, "You cooked this meat deliciously, your mother-in-law will definitely like it. Teach me how to make it, and I'll make it for your mother-in-law when we get home."
Speaking of mother-in-law, Gu Huai casually asked, "Is grandma in good health?"
"She's fine. She still loves to eat fatty meat like your father. She gets angry with me if she doesn't eat it for a week. She also wants the kind of fatty meat that is not over-fried and the fat is fried away. Last time I got angry and over-fried the fat, but she still refused to eat it." The old lady had a bad temper and was angry with her for two days. She only calmed down after buying her an egg cake.
Gu Qiuyan ate the braised pork and continued, the sauce on the corners of her mouth. "It's too hard to be fried, so Grandpa can't bite it, but Grandpa will definitely like this kind of braised pork."
Zhao Changying: "It's so delicious, who wouldn't like it?"
"Mom, try this pig's trotters. I stewed it with kidney beans for the whole afternoon. It's very sticky. If you can eat spicy food, dip it in the sauce." Yu Hui pointed at her mother's pig's trotters and asked her mother-in-law to taste it.
The latter took a piece of food with chopsticks, dipped it in the dipping sauce and ate it, nodding his head and saying, "It's really sticky, it melts in one sip, and it's very fragrant too."
Although it was the first time for the children to eat such delicious food, and it was at their father's house, they did not just focus on the meat dishes. They took a few vegetarian dishes with their chopsticks before picking up one meat dish.
The same thing happened to the youngest, Yangyang. Gu Xixi saw that he only took the braised pork twice, the pig's trotters once, and the spareribs once, and always ate the fish-flavored eggplant and tomato scrambled eggs in front of him, so she asked, "Brother Yangyang, don't you like meat?"
Yang Yang was taken aback by the sudden question, then nodded hurriedly and said, "I like it. All meats are delicious."
"Then why do you always eat fish-flavored eggplant and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and rarely eat meat?"
Yangyang looked at his brother and sister and whispered, "I ate meat. My mother-in-law and father-in-law said that children should be well-mannered. Whether eating at home or out, they can't just stare at the delicious dishes and keep picking them up. If I keep eating the delicious dishes, others will eat less."
There was silence at the dinner table for a moment. Gu Dong and Gu Nan looked at the dishes on the table. Obviously, the braised pork, pig's trotters and winter melon and spare ribs were the most delicious, but these dishes now seemed to have more than the others.
They also found that although their cousin said it was delicious, they didn't keep picking up the food. Instead, they were the ones who kept picking up the meat and eating it.
They suddenly felt embarrassed and felt that their grandmother was wrong. The cousins who came from their hometown would never compete with them for the meat.
The Gu family has always had good family education. The children were basically raised by Zhao Changying, who taught them to be very polite.
In the village, everyone praises the Gu family for the good upbringing of their children.
Gu Huai put a piece of braised pork in Yangyang's bowl, "There's a lot of meat at Yaoba's house, Yangyang can eat more."
"Thank you, Dad." Yangyang thanked him obediently.
Yu Hui also liked polite children and picked up a piece of pork ribs for him.
"Thank you, Sister Huihui." Yangyang thanked her with a smile, raising his little face to reveal a row of white, glutinous teeth. His smile was as charming as a little sun.
Zhao Changying's heart jumped, "It's Yao Ma, Yao Ma!"
How come no child can remember it?
Gu Qiuyan and Gu Qiuye held up their bowls to cover their mouths and laughed secretly.
After dinner, Gu Qiuyan and Gu Qiuye quickly cleared the table and washed the dishes. When Yu Hui wanted to go into the kitchen, they pushed her out.
Gu Qiuyan blocked the kitchen door with her hand and said, "Oh, Sister Huihui, you've worked hard to cook so many dishes, and we have to clean up the rest."
"You are guests..."
"What guests? We are a family. You said we are guests, but you don't consider us as a family?"
Yu Hui: “…”
Gu Bin also took the broom to sweep the floor. Gu Nan snatched the broom from him, holding the broom and pouting, saying, "Sweeping the floor is my job."
Why is this cousin stealing other people's work? He has no sense of boundaries at all.
Gu Bin was stunned for two seconds, then smiled and said, "Brother will help you sweep from now on."
What a coincidence, isn’t it?
Sweeping the floor at home is also his job.
"No need, I'll sweep it myself." After saying that, Gu Nan bent down and started sweeping the floor.
Rejected, Gu Bin touched his nose awkwardly.
Gu Huai untied the straw that bound the wings and feet of the chickens and ducks, closed the gate, let them stroll in the yard, and fed them rice.
When Zhao Changying saw him taking rice to feed the chickens and ducks, she remembered that there was no rice bran or corn to feed the chickens and ducks, so she had to kill and eat them all as soon as possible.
After washing the dishes and tidying up, Gu Qiuyan and Gu Qiuye asked Yu Hui to take them to the bathhouse to take a bath.
"It's so hot and stuffy on the train. We've been on the train all day and we stink." Gu Qiuyan sniffed the smell on her body and wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Sister Huihui, take us to the bathhouse. My mother-in-law said the bathhouse in the military family compound is big and it's very comfortable to take a bath."
Yu Hui: Bathhouse...
With so many people at home wanting to take a bath, the water couldn't be boiled enough, so Gu Huai, the male owner, took the boys to the men's bathhouse.
As the hostess, it was natural for her to take the girls to the women's bathhouse.
As a southerner, she was finally going to step into a public bathhouse in the south for the first time.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the Lin family was having dinner.
Originally, they were going to wait for Lin Siyu to come back and eat together, but she still hadn't come back by seven o'clock, and the child was crying because of hunger, so Lin Yong just announced that it was time to eat.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
There was a knock on the door.
Qin Shulan put down her bowl and chopsticks and quickly stood up, "It must be Siyu who is back."
Wei Jingfen rolled her eyes. Isn’t it just a divorced girl who came back?
Is it necessary to be so excited?
