He then continued, "Teacher Pei, the task you assigned has been successfully completed." After saying that, Professor Zhou did not forget to pick up the food in his hand and shook it, like a naughty old boy.
Chen Yan took the food wrapped in brown paper from Professor Zhou and placed it in the kitchen.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Jiang Ning processed the chicken he bought from the supply and marketing cooperative and made some braised chicken for them to taste.
Soon Jiang Ning's braised chicken was ready, and Chen Yan also put the three dishes that Uncle Zhou packed at Zhouyi Tavern into a bowl. There was a braised pork, a braised beef and a hairtail, which looked very appetizing and the portions were also very substantial.
Seeing that the dish was mostly meat, Jiang Ning stir-fried some Chinese cabbage to help relieve the greasiness.
She thought to herself, "It seems like we may have cooked too much today. With so many dishes, I'm sure I won't be able to finish this braised chicken."
The four of them quickly sat down at the table and started eating. Jiang Ning took a bite of the braised pork he had packed and found it a bit greasy.
"Well, Jiang Ning, why do I feel like the dish I packed back isn't as delicious as yours? Your braised chicken is still the best."
"That's true. Today's braised pork is too greasy. I couldn't eat it after one piece. The beef is also overcooked, and the hairtail fish doesn't seem fresh either. The best is the braised chicken made by Jiang Ning. If she can open a restaurant, I guess her business will be pretty good." Aunt Pei said from the side.
Uncle Zhou: "Looks like we don't need to go to the restaurant for takeout anymore. It would be more practical to just buy the raw materials and have Jiang Ning make them."
"That's great. Thank you Uncle Zhou and Aunt Pei for your recognition. From now on, I'll cook for you. Don't buy food at the restaurant anymore." Jiang Ning winked playfully.
"Okay, okay."
The meal was over quickly, and all the dishes made by Jiang Ning were eaten up. However, the dishes that Uncle Zhou packed up were not finished and had to be left for the next meal.
The next morning, Jiang Ning and Chen Yan were so overwhelmed with their bags that they could only call for a cart that paid three cents a trip to help them tow them to the bus station. Only then did they catch the earliest bus back to their hometown and leave the city.
Although it was tiring to get up early, Jiang Ning no longer felt tired when he thought about going home.
The Jiang family is the best family to her since she came into this book.
After two hours of stopping and starting on the bus, the two finally arrived at Jiang's home - Zishuhe Production Brigade.
"Master, please step on the bus. We will get off at the Zishuhe Production Team in front." Jiang Ning shouted.
"Okay." The driver replied.
They got off the car quickly. Before they reached the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, the little kid at home saw Jiang Ning and Chen Yan.
"Aunt and uncle are back, aunt and uncle are back." As he said that, he ran towards Jiang Ning and Chen Yan.
"Why are you two here? It's so cold now, aren't you cold?" Jiang Ning asked, looking at their red faces from the cold.
"It's not cold, not cold. Aunt and uncle, you are finally back. I missed you so much." said the younger Jiang Wei.
The older Jiang Yong also nodded and said, "Yes, yes. My brother and I have been waiting here for several days. You are finally back."
"How do you know we will be back soon?" Jiang Ning was a little confused.
"We heard from grandpa that the New Year is coming soon and you will definitely be back in the next few days, so my brother and I play here every day while waiting for you to come back."
In fact, according to the original book, the predecessor and the two nephews were not close, mainly because the predecessor was not talkative and never played with them. However, the predecessor also loved the two nephews very much and would save any delicious food for them, but he just couldn't express it. When the nephews grew up and became more sensible, the predecessor was gone.
But now, because of the two little kids who took care of Chen Yan before, the relationship between Jiang Ning and the aunt and nephew is gradually getting better and better.
Jiang Wei looked at his aunt and uncle, who were carrying large and small bags, and a few smaller bags on the ground. He and his brother definitely couldn't carry them all, so he ran home like a gust of wind, shouting as he ran, "Aunt, you and uncle, wait here for me. I'll go back and call Dad and uncle over to help you carry the things."
After hearing this, Jiang Ning did not insist anymore. After all, these bags were quite heavy, and he and Chen Yan could not carry them back. It would be better to wait for his brothers to come and help.
Soon Jiang Jianguo and Jiang Weimin rushed over.
"Brother, second brother, you are here." Jiang Ning said with a smile.
Chen Yan on the side also called out "Big Brother" and "Second Brother".
"Why didn't you tell us in advance when you came back so that we could pick you up?" Jiang Weimin said to Jiang Ning and Chen Yan.
Both of them have lost a lot of weight, but they still look very energetic.
"You two are really something. If Xiaowei hadn't come back to call me and your second brother, I don't think you two would have been able to carry so many things back." The eldest brother also said.
"I was worried you'd have to wait. I didn't know there would be so many things, but thankfully you're all here."
"I'm so tired, big brother, second brother, let's stop chatting and talk about it when we get home. It's so cold standing in this wind." Jiang Ning shivered after he said that.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you talk about what happened in the city when we get home. I haven't been to the city yet, so I don't know what it's like." Jiang Weimin took the bag from Jiang Ning's hand, and took two packages from Chen Yan.
Jiang Jianguo also picked up the package on the ground, and the six people went home happily.
On the way back, many people saw Jiang Ning and greeted him, "Jiang Ning, you're back."
Along the way, Jiang Ning and Chen Yan kept calling out Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, and Uncle Wang. This was because Chen Yan had met many people when he followed Jiang Ning to work as a chef. He also gradually got to know everyone from not knowing anyone when he first came here. Sometimes, before Jiang Ning recognized which elder it was, Chen Yan had already recognized them and started calling out. Jiang Ning was very happy to follow him and call out along the way.
Soon they arrived at the door of Jiang's house, and the two little carrot heads shouted, "Grandpa, Grandma, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle and Aunt are back."
Everyone in the room ran out when they heard the sound. Uncle and aunt had already walked up quickly to take the remaining things from Jiang Ning and Chen Yan's hands, while Old Man Jiang leaned against the door and looked at them with a smile.
"Grandpa!" they both shouted in unison.
"Ning, Xiao Chen, you must be exhausted after coming back today. Your grandmother and your sister-in-law heard you were back and are busy cooking for you in the kitchen. Sit down for a while and warm your hands. You can eat soon."
