Finally, after taking two more sips of Coke, Lin Shuying managed to eat some stir-fried vegetables and boiled shrimp.
Especially the shrimp, I ate at least half of the plate.
Chen Chunhua's observation led her to the conclusion that "the baby may not like oil and water very much."
At first, she wanted to make stir-fried shrimps, which was Shuying's favorite way to cook shrimps. However, considering that she had severe morning sickness and had already prepared other stir-fried dishes, she simply blanched the shrimps.
Including the bowl of stir-fried vegetables, it would be better to call it vegetable soup rather than stir-fried vegetables. She actually just added a few drops of oil, and it was mainly cooked with the water and soy sauce in the vegetables.
Lin Shuying seemed to be eating okay.
"I'll try to cook lighter dishes for you from now on. I'll steam or boil things instead of stir-frying or frying them."
Lin Shuying nodded, indicating that she would not be picky as long as the food was cooked by her mother.
As for whether the baby in her belly would be picky, she couldn't guarantee it.
The person who enjoyed the meal the most was Liang Shengdi.
If it weren't for the fact that her granddaughter was pregnant, she would have started to devour the food as soon as it was served.
But later on, there were too many things that Lin Shuying couldn't eat; Huang Xinli's appetite had also decreased since Shuying became pregnant, and he didn't eat much; and Chen Chunhua's mind was full of thoughts about what to make for Lin Shuying later, and she had no appetite for food.
So most of them went to Liang Shengdi.
At home, she would have Lin Guoqing and Lin Shuchao competing with her for food, but here she had no rivals. She ate her fill, but not a single drop of the bowl was left.
When Chen Chunhua turned around to clean up the dishes, all the plates and soup bowls on the table were already clean.
Chen Chunhua: "...Mom, you really need to eat less. Be careful! Shuying won't have taken care of you for two days before you end up in the hospital again."
"Ah, bah, bah, stop cursing me!"
In the evening, Lin Guoqing called to ask about the situation here. Chen Chunhua said it was okay and she had found a way to temporarily relieve morning sickness. The only problem was that she couldn't eat greasy or meaty food. She would just be careful when cooking and there shouldn't be any problem.
"Okay, what about accommodation? Did you guys sleep well tonight?"
"You've been here before. Both of their rooms are not too small. The guest room also has a double bed. Mom and I can still sleep in one bed."
"That's good." Lin Guoqing's voice was a little unclear on the phone. "When you're free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, go out and look around. If you find a suitable house, buy it. Buy a bigger one, not just a hundred square meters. There are so many people in our family, and it would be too troublesome to buy another one later."
"I know, do I need to tell you that?"
"Once we buy a big house, we can take Mom there to stay for a few days occasionally..."
The couple hadn't spoken much when Liang Shengdi took over the phone and stood beside it with her hands on her hips.
"Hey, National Day!"
"Hey, Mom~ Are you okay over there? Listen more to Chunhua..."
"I plan to stay in Shanghai and not go back for the time being." Liang Shengdi probably didn't hear what Lin Guoqing said. She just stood there calmly saying what she wanted to say.
"Don't keep...what?"
"ah?"
Both people on and off the phone were surprised. Lin Guoqing thought there was something wrong with the receiver, and Chen Chunhua thought there was something wrong with her ears.
We have only been in Shanghai for one day and haven't even spent the night. How did the old lady make this decision?
"What what what!" Liang Shengdi curled her lips in disgust and started to speak in a sarcastic tone.
"I've discovered that living in Shanghai, even though the place is a little small, makes me feel comfortable. Shuying and her husband respect the elderly and love the young, unlike you guys who don't give in to me at all and even snatch chicken legs from me!"
"So I've decided not to go back... not until Shumei graduates and comes home to live!"
Just a second after she finished speaking, Liang Shengdi added, "Chunhua is not going back either."
Chen Chunhua exclaimed "Ah?" again. How could she not know that this also involved her?
"That's it. It's late. We all need to go to bed. Goodbye."
Liang Shengdi just hung up the phone without giving Lin Guoqing any chance to ask or Chen Chunhua any chance to explain. She hung up the phone, clapped her hands and asked Chen Chunhua to go to bed with her, saying,
"It's better for me and my mother to live with Shuying than with them and their son!"
The younger one got married and forgot about his home. Now he is not seen day or night. The older one now hangs out at the factory every day. Sometimes he comes back to have a meal, wipes his mouth after eating, and then goes back to work at the factory.
I might have made money, but I couldn't meet anyone. It would be better to be in Shanghai, since Shuying probably wouldn't be able to work before Shumei graduated anyway.
Chen Chunhua: ...
She had seen elderly people who didn't want sons and lived with their daughters, but she had never seen an old lady who didn't want sons or grandsons and lived with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
The key point is that Lin Guoqing doesn’t seem to be unfilial, right? So you just want to give up on him?
Lin Guoqing was also confused. If there was a person with a black face and crescent moon standing in front of him, he would have to shout loudly,
He is wronged!
It was just a chicken leg that he stole from his mother! He's still thinking about it!
Lin Shuchao and Lin Shumei came back together. Today, Shumei shamelessly followed her brother to Qin Hong's place to have a meal. The two of them came back home playing and laughing, with smiles on their faces. They opened and closed the door and went into the house, and then they saw their father looking at them gloomily.
Lin Shuchao: What happened to him?
Lin Shumei:? Maybe it was something her brother did?
They each went through their minds and thought about what they had done this year, last year, and the year before last. After making sure that they had not gotten into trouble, Lin Shumei ran up and sat down next to her father.
"Dad, where are my mom and grandma?" She didn't know her third brother, but if she got into trouble, it would definitely be her mom who would teach her a lesson.
Lin Guoqing replied with a sad tone, "I went to Shanghai."
Lin Shumei: ???
"Going to Shanghai? Today? Why didn't you take me with you?!"
"Your eldest sister is pregnant, and they are going to take care of her."
"What! My sister is pregnant! Then I..."
"The house only has so little space, why are so many people crammed in there?"
"Oh...but..."
"Your grandma said she wouldn't come back until you graduate."
"Huh?! What!"
"Including your mother."
“!!!”
For a moment, the brother and sister didn't know whether they should be shocked that their eldest sister was pregnant and they were going to be uncle and aunt, or whether they should cry that their grandmother and mother would not come back.
Are notifications to people so sudden now?
"...Um...I mean...why does it take so long..." Lin Shuchao's mind was stuck for a long time before he finally reacted. Before he could ask, they had to come back when he got married.
Lin Guoqing rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.
"It's because you always snatch food from your grandma, so she's unhappy and came back, and she took your mom away too!"
Lin Shuchao: ???
What the hell?
