The next morning, Gu Xuelan got up at dawn and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. She felt a little cold when she went out, so she went back to her room and put on a thin coat.
When I went to the vegetable field to pick shallots, I took a walk to observe. Vegetables that need to be planted on vines, such as loofah and cucumber, have a long growth cycle, and basically take about four months to mature. They planted late, and now the weather is starting to get cooler, so they may mature even slower.
When passing by the tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, Gu Xuelan noticed that some of them had sprouted side shoots. She had come here to prune them a few times in the past few days, and wanted to break them off this time, but the sky was a little cloudy and the forecast said there would be light rain, so she didn't do it.
Wait for sunny days.
I made wontons yesterday and they are frozen in the refrigerator. I took out three bowls of them and boiled them in boiling water. I put some seaweed and dried shrimps in the bottom of the bowl, added some seasonings, and washed them with boiling wonton soup. After the wontons are cooked, they are taken out and put in a bowl. I sprinkled some chopped green onions on them and added two drops of sesame oil. They are fresh and delicious.
Fry a few frozen beef patties in a frying pan, put them on a plate, pour some oil into the pan and add a few poached eggs.
They all have similar tastes and all like to eat fried on both sides, but Gu Xuelan likes it well-done, while Xu Qingsong, like Liu Wangxue, likes it half-soft.
When Xu Qingsong came over, he happened to see Liu Wangxue coming out of the living room wearing a comfortable sportswear and holding a cat. Pengpeng followed her, stretched and yawned.
Gua Gua was already standing on the top of the pomegranate tree practicing his voice. Xu Qingsong greeted him first: "You are really hardworking."
Guagua ignored him and immersed herself in her own singing.
Xu Qingsong held the key in his hand, put the suitcase at the back of the car, walked over, looked at the cat in Liu Wangxue's arms, and touched its round head: "I haven't seen you for two days. Does this cat wish it could grow on you?"
"You really understand it." Liu Wangxue said with a smile, "It has been waiting for me to hold it since I came back last night. It also wanted me to hold it when I slept. It was guarding the door when I got up to wash in the morning."
"Oh, what a sweet burden--" Xu Qingsong said as he gently pulled Xiaoci's ear, angering the cat and getting punched twice on the back of his hand.
He handed the key to Liu Wangxue: "Then my little goldfish will also trouble you."
Liu Wangxue took the key and put it on the closet at the door: "Don't bother me this time. I'm not at home. You should go tell my mother."
"That's right." Just as he finished speaking, Xu Qingsong felt his trouser leg being pulled. He looked down and was not surprised to find it was a bump.
During this period of time, Xu Qingsong usually came to take the three of them out for a morning run. Today, when he saw him coming, he thought he was going for a morning run. He stood aside and waited for a long time. Seeing that the two of them had no intention of going out, he had to urge them.
Seeing Xu Qingsong looking down at him, Pengpeng motioned him to go to the door: "Woof!" Go for a run!
Xu Qingsong immediately understood what it meant and said "OK" to it. He then said to Liu Wangxue, "I'll take her out for a run first."
"Let's go, I'll go too. I haven't exercised for a long time." Liu Wangxue said, and couldn't help teasing him, "Oh, really, what happened when I was not at home? You captured me."
Xu Qingsong smiled, quite proudly: "That's not right. My relationship with Pengpeng is not just one or two days old. I have captured its heart a long time ago."
Gu Xuelan heard them talking in the kitchen and came out wiping her hands with her apron. "You're still going for a run? Qingsong, are you going to catch your flight in time? I've already prepared dinner. Why don't you just not go? Eat and go to the airport."
"It's okay, Auntie. We're still in time. We'll be back in about ten minutes." Xu Qingsong said.
"Okay, just keep an eye on the time." Gu Xuelan reminded them.
When Guagu saw that they were all walking out, he immediately flew down from the tree top and followed them.
I ran for a short while and then came back, mainly to let Pengpeng go out and have some fun.
Xu Qingsong went to the bathroom to wash his face. When Liu Wangxue was serving food to the three people squatting in a row, he smelled a strong odor on Peng Peng's body. He calculated the time and thought it was time to take a shower.
So during the meal, Liu Wangxue told Gu Xuelan that he would send Xu Qingsong to the airport later and asked her to go with him, and then go to the pet hospital together.
Gu Xuelan refused without a second thought: "I just went to the vegetable garden to check, and the tomatoes need to be pruned. I think it might rain again, so we have to do all this before it rains."
Liu Wangxue didn't understand this. After thinking about it, he felt that the three cats were all well behaved and there were leashes, so there shouldn't be any problem. So he nodded and said yes.
Gu Xuelan ate wontons and asked Xu Qingsong, "How many days do you plan to stay at home? When will you be back?"
Xu Qingsong swallowed the beef patty in his mouth and replied, "It will take at least four or five days. My dad's birthday is in two days, and my family will celebrate for him. Some of his students will also come over, and I will have to help entertain them then."
Gu Xuelan then asked: "Is it a birthday celebration?"
"No, he is 57 this year." Xu Qingsong said with a smile, "My dad doesn't really care about this. It's my mom who celebrates for him every year, and his students come every year. It was originally a small family gathering, but more and more people came, and it got bigger and bigger every year."
Gu Xuelan expressed her understanding: "Your parents are both professors, so they teach students one after another, so the number of students increases every year."
Xu Qingsong's grandparents are still alive, and they are both professors. What they like most is to see their students live a happy life and have a happy family. So every time Xu Qingsong's parents or grandparents have a birthday, they will basically hold this kind of banquet. On the one hand, it is also to make the two old people happy. When they get older, they like to be lively, especially to see these disciples and grandchildren gather together.
The birthday party was big, but simple. A notification message was sent to the teacher group, and those who were free could sign up. There was no need to prepare gifts, and even if you prepared, I would not accept them. If you really wanted to give a gift, you could report your latest research results in the academic field on the spot.
After dinner, the three clever little kids saw Liu Wangxue holding the leash and knew that she was going to take them out, so they immediately surrounded her happily and followed her into the car.
The journey was very smooth. After Xu Qingsong got off the car, he went around to the back door, hugged Peng Peng, and said, "You must miss me——"
Liu Wangxue turned around and looked at him with a smile: "It's only five days, Mr. Xu, there's no need to say goodbye like this, right?"
"That's not the case," Xu Qingsong glanced at her with a smile in his eyes, and rubbed Pengpeng's head, admonishing it, "I'm leaving, you have to be good at home and take good care of the little brothers."
They couldn't stay here for too long, so after saying goodbye, Liu Wangxue drove away. Xu Qingsong stood there with the suitcase until her car disappeared from sight, then walked inside.
