Jiang Ning saw that the vegetables had been washed and Jiang Jianguo just needed to braising them. No other people were needed around.
"Then I'm going to help my sister-in-law cook. You can take your time by yourself, big brother."
Jiang Jianguo nodded. "Okay, it's just right that you two can hurry up. I can pick them up after I finish this. It'll be quick."
Jiang Ning walked into the kitchen: "Sister-in-law, let me help you."
"Ning girl, you've been washing the dishes for me for so long, don't you want to take a break?"
Liu Zhaodi was worried that she didn't get enough rest.
Jiang Ning shook his head: "Sister-in-law, I'm not sleepy yet. I will rest when I'm tired, don't worry."
"Okay, then you can help me peel some garlic and I'll cut the meat. I can cook faster with your help."
After Liu Zhaodi finished speaking, she handed the two cloves of garlic to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning took the garlic and began to peel it carefully, while also chatting about the interesting things about setting up the stall.
In fact, Jiang Ning hasn't been so relaxed for a long time.
When I was in Jiangcheng, I was either going to school or studying about opening a store every day.
As the first person to try something new, although she knew that the general direction she was taking was correct, she was still quite nervous.
Opening a hot pot restaurant, which she had never done before, was a big challenge for her.
Although Chen Yan helped her with the store decoration, which relieved her of one thing to do, her nerves were still tense every day. She even thought about it while sleeping and she couldn't stop thinking.
Now that she was back in Los Angeles, she didn't think about anything. She just felt relaxed and comfortable here.
Is it because I’m far away from Jiangcheng that all those annoying things are gone?
As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind?
......
Soon, Jiang Ning completed the task assigned by Liu Zhaodi.
The next step was to just focus on being a fireman. My eldest brother also went to the station to pick up my grandparents.
Judging by the time, we’re almost at the station.
The two of them cooked quite quickly in the kitchen. After all, the dishes were already prepared and they just had to stir-fry them.
Zhou Peijiang, who had slept for the whole morning, also got up.
"Dad, why don't you get some more sleep?"
When Jiang Ning put the dishes on the table, he saw Zhou Peijiang sitting alone on the sofa drinking tea.
Zhou Peijiang smiled and said, "I dozed off for a while on the train last night. I've been sleeping since this morning. If I were still sleeping, I wouldn't have to sleep tonight."
Jiang Ning nodded. "Yes, by the way, Dad, my grandparents are coming up from the countryside today. My eldest brother is going to the station to pick them up. They should be home soon."
Zhou Peijiang nodded to indicate that he understood.
Jiang Ning pointed to the kitchen and said, "Then I'll go help my sister-in-law first."
Zhou Peijiang: "Go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."
Jiang Ning nodded and went to the kitchen to help.
Soon Jiang Jianguo came back with Old Man Jiang and the others.
Before they walked in, Jiang Ning heard a familiar voice coming from the kitchen door.
"I told you that we should get here before Miss Ning comes back, but you refused. Now the surprise is gone."
Father Jiang: "Okay, old lady, just stop talking. It's not that the farm work is not finished yet. Only after the farm work is finished can we spend more time with Ning girl!"
Jiang Jianguo jokingly said, "Grandpa, grandma, please stop arguing. We're already at the doorstep. You've been arguing all morning. If Ning finds out, she'll laugh at you."
Jiang Jianguo turned around and banged on the door, shouting, "Ning girl, we're back, come and open the door."
Liu Zhaodi wiped her hands on her apron and smiled at Jiang Ning, "Ning girl, go open the door quickly. I just have one more dish ready, and then we can eat."
Jiang Ning nodded: "Okay, sister-in-law, I will come to help you later."
Liu Zhaodi shook her head: "No, no, you should just chat with your grandparents. You haven't seen them for a long time, and you must miss them too."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
Liu Zhaodi waved her hand and said, "Go quickly, don't keep grandpa and grandma waiting anxiously."
Jiang Ning ran to the door and opened it.
The person she had been thinking about day and night appeared before her.
Jiang Ning shouted happily: "Grandpa and grandma. You are finally here."
Grandma hugged Jiang Ning and shouted, "Oh, my precious granddaughter, you are finally back. Grandma hasn't seen you for half a year."
Father Jiang looked at the two of them lovingly, "Alright, alright, everyone knows you miss Miss Ning, let's go in first. It's not nice to stand at the door all the time."
My uncle also smiled and said, "Yes, mother. Ning girl won't leave now, you have plenty of time to chat."
Grandma reluctantly let go of Jiang Ning, "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense, let's go in first."
Jiang Ning raised his head sheepishly and smiled, "Grandpa, uncle, aunt."
Everyone agreed in unison.
Jiang Ning walked into the living room holding his grandfather's left hand and his grandmother's right hand, and his uncle and aunt followed behind, holding the two sleeping little kids.
Zhou Peijiang greeted everyone warmly: "Uncle, aunt, brother, sister-in-law, you are finally here. Come and sit down."
Jiang Ning also smiled and said, "Grandpa, grandma, please sit down first. I'll go get you some tea."
Jiang Ning quickly brought them the tea he had brewed earlier.
At this time, Liu Zhaodi, who was busy in the kitchen, also came out with the dishes.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, you're finally here. Before you came, little girl Ning kept nagging me, asking why you hadn't arrived yet. Now that you're finally here, I can finally stop listening to little girl Ning's nagging."
Jiang Ning glanced at Liu Zhaodi embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, why are you like this? You promised me not to tell, and now you are telling me again."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Jiang Ning's shy look.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. The dishes in the kitchen haven't been served yet. Please help me bring them up so we can eat. They've been tired from riding in the car all morning, so let's eat first."
Zhou Peijiang also smiled and said, "Ning girl, go and get busy. I'll be here with grandpa and grandma."
Jiang Ning nodded: "Grandpa and grandma, please sit down first, you can eat soon."
Father Jiang waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Jiang Ning and Liu Zhaodi were busy going to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Soon, the dishes were served.
Jiang Ning shouted, "Grandpa, grandma, dad, uncle, aunt, eat first. After you finish eating, we'll talk."
Jiang Jianguo touched his stomach and said, "Don't mention it, I'm really hungry now. Let's eat first. Ning girl is right. We can talk after we eat."
Everyone laughed.
Soon, the whole family sat around the dining table and started eating.
