Li Qiuhe doesn't have to go out to work now. Every day at home, except for picking up and dropping off her two grandchildren from school in the morning and evening, she spends all her time cooking and preparing food.
Every day she either made soup or stewed pork ribs, but after just one month, Yang Liu felt that she had gained noticeably weight.
Their grocery store has opened successfully. At the beginning, everyone was not familiar with the functions of the things sold there, so Yang Liu had to be in charge personally.
Business was so good in the first few days that she didn't even have time to go home for dinner. Li Qiuhe prepared everything and delivered it directly to her in the store.
Most of the items sold in their store are hardware and groceries, and their functions and usage methods need to be explained clearly to customers. The employees hired in the store were not familiar with the business at first, so they could not answer many of the customers' questions, so she had to guide them step by step.
Fortunately, they learned quickly and can basically cope with it now. Now she can take a break from her busy schedule to go home for dinner.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she smelled a strong fragrance. Yang Liu took off her coat, put it on the stool, went in to wash her hands, looked at her mother and asked, "Mom, what delicious food did you make again? I smelled the fragrance at the door."
"Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
"I went to the market with your second aunt this morning and found some very fresh pig's feet. I bought some and made some braised pig's feet. I've been simmering them since this morning. I just poked them with chopsticks and they're so soft and boneless. They taste so good!"
"Mom, look at me. What have I become after you fed me? I'm almost as fat as a pig." Yang Liu pinched her face and stretched it in front of her mother.
"You're so tired every day, how can you not eat something good to replenish yourself? Besides, you're not fat at all, I think you're fine."
"By the way, why don't you see my dad?"
Li Qiuhe carried the steamed rice and dishes outside and said, "He's obsessed with playing chess with others. He goes there every day after delivering the goods. I guess he won't come back until he finishes a game. Don't worry about him. Let's eat first."
At the dinner table, Li Qiuhe served her a bowl of rice and scooped a spoonful of pig's feet into her bowl. "Liu'er, eat more. I went to buy pig's feet today and heard the shopkeeper say that girls should eat more of them. They say it supplements protein and makes your skin soft and supple. I don't know if it's true."
"To supplement collagen." Yang Liu said with a smile.
Li Qiuhe nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's it."
"Mom, if a woman wants to look good, she needs money. Eating pig's feet alone won't help."
"By the way, Chu Yue has been in the capital for several days. You didn't even call to ask if he was doing well there?"
"It should go smoothly. He went with the school teacher. There's nothing to worry about." Li Qiuhe scooped another spoonful of soup into her bowl.
"Child, you can't just focus on the outside world. You have to take care of your own family too."
"Shitou complained to me yesterday that you hadn't taken him and his brother to the zoo for a long time?"
Yang Liu nodded and said, "I've been so busy lately that I forgot. Don't worry, I'll take them there this week."
Li Qiuhe put down her bowl and chopsticks and said earnestly, "Liu'er, you are a person with your own ideas. You understand all those big principles, so I won't nag you anymore. But there is one thing: no matter how successful you are outside or how much money you make, you can't neglect your own small family. Don't let your family be ruined when you have money. That would be throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds."
During this period, I don’t know what’s wrong with my daughter. She is only focused on making money.
It is obvious that their family is living a decent life now, and although they were not considered rich in the village before, at least they could have enough food and clothes. I don't know why, but this daughter has become obsessed with money and now only wants to make a lot of money.
It's like going crazy.
Since her son-in-law doesn't say anything, she, as his mother, is the only one who can talk about this matter.
"Mom, don't worry. Our little family is stable. I'm just seizing the opportunity of economic development to make some money. When the business in the store stabilizes, I will stay at home to take care of my husband and children." Yang Liu hugged her mother and comforted her.
I really don't know how she can think so much.
However, she had indeed neglected the children recently, so this afternoon she went to the store early to do what she needed to do, and then went to the school gate to wait in advance to pick up the children from school. She also specially bought a large bag of snacks.
I also went to a roast duck restaurant and bought a roast duck as a snack for the children.
After school, Mu Tou and Shi Tou came out and saw their mother. They grinned with joy and ran out, "Mom, why are you here?"
His mother hasn't come to pick them up from school for a long time. It's always his grandpa or grandma who comes.
Yang Liu rubbed the brothers' heads, feeling guilty. "Sons, it's all Mom's fault. I've been so busy with work lately that I've neglected you. Don't worry, Mom will definitely make more time to spend with you in the future."
Mu Tou's eyes sparkled, and he could tell at a glance that the little guy was very happy. He also said, "Not only do you have to spend more time with us, but my dad also wants you to spend more time with us."
"Okay, I'll definitely spend more time with you guys in the future."
Chu Yue has a bad relationship with his father. Although they have both been in Shanghai in recent years, they hardly have any contact with each other. They only go home to visit during the Chinese New Year.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this person seems to be very clingy. In fact, he is extremely insecure.
It seems that she really neglected their three fathers this time, and she needs to make up for it.
It was almost October, the golden autumn, and Chu Yue finally returned from the capital.
He first followed the teacher back to school, handed over the things that needed to be handed over, and then rushed home without stopping.
Who knew that just as I walked out of the school gate, I saw a familiar figure. Yang Liu was standing there, the orange sunlight shining down on her, giving her a golden glow. "Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, don't you recognize me?"
Chu Yue was stunned for a few seconds, then he reacted and ran over immediately.
"How did you know I would be back today?"
Yang Liu took his hand and said with a charming smile, "Because I missed you, I came here to wait for you these few days when I had nothing to do. Look, I finally got what I wanted."
When Li Qiuhe knew that her son-in-law had returned, she naturally treated him to delicious food and drinks. Mu Tou and Shi Tou were particularly happy to know that their father had returned, and each of them ate an extra bowl of rice.
"It's better to have the whole family together. Before, you two were busy with your own things, and the two children seemed to have no energy, and they didn't eat as much as they do now." Li Qiuhuo said casually when clearing the dishes after dinner.
Chu Yue was also happy as he touched his two sons' heads. He had been away for nearly a week and he missed his sons and daughters-in-law very much.
