When Dad Jiang got up, it was already dark outside.
When I came out of the room, I saw a few boys making dumplings with my daughter. They were all chatting enthusiastically and laughing from time to time.
It was rare for the old man to see his daughter like this. Ever since he had been a child, his daughter had been like a god sent from heaven. Over the years, he had unconsciously thought of her as mature and steady.
Instead, I ignored her childish side. I could see that my daughter was really relaxed.
During the years when the two of them were away, they were accompanied by several children. Childhood friendships are indeed rare, let alone at this time.
"Hey! Uncle, you're up? You're in great shape! You drank so much at noon, and you recovered after just half a day's sleep. That's really impressive!"
Lei Zi saw Jiang's father get up and quickly praised the old man.
Several people quickly followed to greet him. Guangjin asked the old man to sit on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala and placed a cup of tea in front of him.
"You don't have to accompany me, go make dumplings and chat with them! We are not strangers, it's rare for you to get together, it's nice to have some fun."
Father Jiang sat and watched Guangjin busying himself, making tea, pouring water and getting melon seeds.
He acted as if he didn't consider himself an outsider, and the old man thought he was a guest.
"Just stay with me! My cooking skills are exactly like my mom's. I asked them to put aside the dumplings I made just now, saying they would cook them for me later.
It would be nice if we could just watch the Spring Festival Gala instead of joining them and just wait for the food to be ready!"
Does Dad Jiang know the skills of Guangjin’s mother, Aunt Qin? What can a grown-up girl do?
It was deserved, as Lao Fang had often laughed at them behind their backs for not being able to cook. But the wife he married turned out to be even better, breaking a pot and a kettle in the house within three days of their marriage.
Miss Qin's name was known throughout the entire family compound. A person who couldn't even boil water finally outshined the couple.
"Uncle, you don't know that during those years, we ate a lot of bean curd. And she would bring us local specialties wherever she went on business trips. We envied her job so much."
The years of separation from their daughter were a regret for both of them, especially after they came back and heard that the grandson who adopted her was actually a dog spy who had been undercover for many years.
The man took the child home and abused him mentally in the name of his life-long friendship.
Fortunately, the child survived, otherwise he couldn't imagine what kind of torture their child would have suffered.
Having not participated in his daughter's childhood, he doesn't understand many things.
Especially those earth-shaking things her daughter had done. Who would have thought that such a skinny and small girl could do so many things? Just picking out two of them would be enough for others to brag about for a long time.
"Of course! Uncle Jiang, you don't know that there are so many ways to make bean curd. In those days, every family had to be frugal to eat meat, but she always cooked meat dishes, so every time she came over, she would eat a lot."
Which family had poor living conditions in that era? Just by looking at how often they frequented Lao Mo, you can tell what their living standards were like. But compared to Dou Bao's, their living conditions were simply too good.
At that time, they often said that she was bold and had many connections, and that many things could not be bought with just money.
Thinking back on it now, no one succeeds easily. It's not surprising that this woman has built up such a fortune, after all, she was doing very well in those years.
Although no one knew what she was dealing with, in troubled times, as long as some things did not harm the country, everyone knew about them.
"Doubao, are we considered rich today? We haven't even gone home yet, so you should give us something solid! Uncle Jiang, don't you agree? Why are capitalists getting more and more stingy?"
The more we talked, the more relaxed we became, and the old energy came back.
The New Year’s Eve dinner prepared at home is just ordinary home-cooked food, which is a very common meal for ordinary families.
But for the father and son, and for this family, it was the first time they got together to have a New Year's Eve dinner.
It’s a pity that Jiang Ma is no longer with us, so the reunion dinner was not a real reunion.
Those more luxurious abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin and bird's nest were not rare for Jiang Dad. He lived in Mingzhu, and any restaurant with a little bit of class would have them.
Ginger tea is a home-cooked dish that I have been looking forward to for many years. Finally, I don’t have to eat those half-cooked things. After returning home, even the pickled cabbage dumplings are delicious.
"Go to hell, just tell me what you want to eat or drink, and why are you playing tricks on me? I haven't seen you for a few years. Have you learned bad things from Guangjin?"
After saying that, he patted the flour in his hands and went to the storage room next to the kitchen to rummage around.
The room was filled with things she had people bring over, and there were quite a few good things. Jiang Cha had originally planned to take them away when they returned, but now that Da Pao had spoken, she decided to take some out for the night.
"Come over here and give me a hand, there are so many things that it's hard to carry.
He was holding several vacuum-packed bags in his arms and two bottles of wine in his hands.
He pointed to the room and told them to go in and pick out something to eat for dinner, and they could take the rest back with them.
This habit is still the same as many years ago, and we are extremely generous to them.
"Brother, come over here and take a look. Is this the bottle of wine we saw in the magazine? They say the bottle caps are made of 18K gold?"
Ginger Tea took a few sealed bags to the kitchen and put them into a plate according to the instructions on the back, and added another layer to the large steamer in the yard.
Below are the steamed bowls she made. It takes about an hour to steam the freshly brought ingredients together.
