Zhuzhu was happy with the cooking and Qiu Yuling enjoyed the meal. To be honest, I have been away from home recently and have not had the chance to cook for myself.
Zhuzhu's skill was exposed. She exceeded the limit and had to drink hawthorn and tangerine peel water and take stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting pills before she felt better.
The spider quietly hid back, feeling guilty and not daring to show its head. It almost stuffed its owner to death.
Qiu Yuling is such a grown-up, could she really hurt herself? She is just pretending for the little thing to see. This little guy has been hesitating all morning, how can she not know what he is thinking.
What can I do? I can just pet my own pet.
As long as it is happy!
Li Xingyao was so anxious that he was walking around in circles at home. After a while, he went inside to change into a white shirt.
Sun Tianxia made him dizzy. "They're all wearing the same clothes. Stop spinning around. Why don't you go play chess with grandpa for a while?"
That’s not necessary!
Trying hard to calm himself down, he changed into another set of old clothes.
Sun Tianxia was curious, "Why did you change back? Weren't you quite energetic just now?"
"I'll replace the old one to help you with the work, Mom. Should this fish be braised or stewed..."
The old man leaned against the window, watching his second grandson finally avoid making a fool of himself. He sneered and sat back down, "I won't play chess with you even if you ask me to. I have Yuling to accompany me."
The eldest son's family didn't arrive until after three o'clock. The two little kids sniffed and shouted "It smells so good" as soon as they entered the house.
Sun Tianxia picked up two sugar-coated cakes for each of them, placed them in a small porcelain bowl, and handed it to them. "Be good, don't eat too much. My aunt is coming to our house this afternoon. Grandma has prepared a large table of delicious food. Save your stomachs."
The eldest daughter-in-law rolled up her sleeves and went in to help, "Mom, if there is anything else you want to do, you tell me and I'll do it..."
Li Xingyao stepped out, ignoring his elder brother's teasing, and hugged his nephews and nieces one by one, then changed back into the new clothes he had tried on earlier.
"Mom, I'm going to pick up Yuling."
"Well, go ahead."
Li Xingyao carefully went to the supply and marketing cooperative to weigh out some snacks, fruits, candies, etc., and took them to see Qiu Yuling.
Because Qiu Yuling was the only one at home today, and he was afraid that being alone with her would disturb her, he asked the guard to help call for help and did not enter the yard.
Qiu Yuling took down a small jacket and carried the gift for the visit in her hand. She didn't expect that the two of them were carrying too much.
"Why do you bring this up?" Qiu Yuling asked him when she saw him.
"I thought you were tired after a day and might not be in the mood to go out, so I went to the department store ahead of time and bought a few things. I told them it was you who bought them."
Qiu Yuling's lips curled up again and again. "Wait a minute, put your portion upstairs and bring it back to Grandma at Willow Alley. Bring my portion today. I've prepared it."
Qiu Yuling's gift was not expensive, just four kinds of snacks, candies and canned goods, which was lighter than her usual New Year gifts.
There are actually some rules to follow when it comes to this matter. When a girl comes to visit someone's house for the first time, she shouldn't bring a lot of luggage to show off her appearance, as this will make people look down on her.
So just a little bit of food and drink, not too much or too little, just right.
Qiu Yuling wore the scorpion braid that Qiao Yue "taught" her, a white shirt and a black skirt with lantern sleeves, and velvet cloth shoes with handles on her feet. She looked steady yet agile.
Seeing Li Xingyao always staring at her, she smiled and asked him, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Li Xingyao's mouth followed his mind, "You're so pretty."
The vocabulary was indeed a bit lacking, but considering his sincerity, Qiu Yuling decided to ignore it. "Let's go. Don't keep everyone waiting."
The two little nephews and nieces were taught by the adults in the family early on to sit on the doorstep and wait for people.
When they saw someone coming from a distance, they would shout in a baby voice, "Uncle and aunt are back."
Qiu Yuling walked over and squatted down with a smile, "You are Heze, you are Hele, right?"
"How did you know?" The baby opened his eyes wide, looking extremely cute.
Qiu Yuling smiled mysteriously, took out a handful of candies and handed them to the two children, intending not to tell them that it was their uncle who gave her the scientific introduction along the way.
Now I not only know their names, but also the names of their parents, their father Li Xinghui and their mother He Qian. The middle character of the two children's names is the homonym of their mother's surname.
Li Xingyao's parents were open-minded and did not require their grandchildren to be ranked. Instead, they gave the right to name their grandchildren directly to their parents, and they happily followed whatever name was given to them.
Sun Tianxia heard the noise, took off her apron, and came out to greet them with a happy face, "Yuling is here, come into the yard quickly, Hele and Heze, please lead the way for everyone. Have you forgotten what grandma taught you?"
"Aunt, come with us~"
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for a while. You treat me like a guest. The whole yard is filled with fragrance. I can tell you've been busy for a long time."
"Look at what you said. People are born with mouths to eat and drink. It's just an ordinary family dinner, so why bother? You've been exhausted from the journey and haven't had time to rest properly. You must be very tired..."
The two of them were old acquaintances, and this was just their first meeting after changing identities. The imagined awkwardness was swept away by the two adorable babies.
In addition, the old man was well prepared. As soon as he arrived, he pulled Qiu Yuling to "start fighting". Qiu Yuling did not give in to him. If you regret one step, I will regret two steps. For a while, the bad chess player met his worthy opponent and it was difficult to tell who was better.
Li Xingyao watched the game silently. When it was Qiu Yuling's turn to regret her move, he was still giving instructions from the side. The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her and kicked her out.
"Girl, what did I say? Sooner or later, we will be a family."
Qiu Yuling smiled and said yes, "From now on, I can legitimately call you Grandpa. General! Grandpa, I win!"
"No, no, you're taking advantage of me. Let's do it again..."
"Dad, the children must be hungry. The food is ready, let's eat first. Yuling, wash your hands and eat with grandpa."
When Sun Tianxia came in, she said it was an ordinary family dinner, but once the food was served, it was obvious that it was not ordinary. It was not for any festival, but there was chicken, fish, pigeon soup, and a plate of sugar-coated cakes in the middle.
"Yuling, eat the vegetables first. The fried cakes are heavy and you won't be able to digest them if you eat them at night. I packed some for you and asked Xingyao to bring it with him when he takes you there. You can eat it tomorrow morning..."
Strictly speaking, this was the first time that Li Xingyao's father officially met Qiu Yuling. They had originally agreed not to talk about work.
But the conversation quickly turned to work. "The city wants to start a rough processing of agricultural and sideline products. What do you think is the best way to carry it out?"
Qiu Yuling put down her chopsticks and asked doubtfully, "In our city?"
"Well, it's just a suggestion. We haven't conducted any research yet."
Qiu Yuling felt that this initiative was not a good idea at all. Basic livelihood supplies were barely guaranteed, so why bother with crude processing?
