Lin Yuxun hasn't seen Cheng Hao and Danny for more than a month.
Over the past month, he has been full of fighting spirit and has done a lot of things, but he has actually been feeling uneasy.
He desperately wanted to climb up and prove himself, but he also felt uneasy and afraid.
After all, this is a completely unfamiliar environment for him.
But now, seeing Cheng Hao, all the uneasiness in his heart disappeared.
Cheng Hao carried Danny in and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is Spring Festival, so I brought Danny to see you."
Lin Yuxun wanted to hug Cheng Hao, but he didn't. "I made dumplings. You said you wanted to eat dumplings for Chinese New Year. I also bought rice. I'll go make you some rice."
There were no large supermarkets in the slum community before. Cheng Hao said he wanted to eat rice, but they couldn't buy it at all.
When they arrived in the city, the supermarket near the school was not big and did not sell rice, so he and Shi Wenzhen had never eaten rice.
It was just yesterday that Shi Wenzhen talked about buying New Year's goods in China. He took a special bus and bought rice in a large supermarket.
He brought the bag of rice back but did not open it. He originally wanted to send the whole bag to Cheng Hao. Now that Cheng Hao was here, he could open it and make rice.
"There's rice?" Cheng Hao's face was full of surprise.
He remembered that decades later, it was very easy to buy rice in the United States, but at that time... he had never seen rice or a restaurant selling rice.
Well, he rarely eats in restaurants or even goes to big supermarkets. He doesn't have time.
"Yes!" Lin Yuxun said, and immediately opened the bag of rice, then he felt a little worried: "I don't know how to cook rice..."
"I don't know how to do it..." Cheng Hao was also confused. If he had an electric rice cooker, he would definitely be able to make rice. At most, there would be some problems with adding too much or too little water. But the key was that they didn't have an electric rice cooker. Cheng Hao could only say, "Get a pot and add some water to boil it?"
It seems that rice can be steamed, but now they don’t even have a steamer, only a gas stove and an oven.
This is the only way... Lin Yuxun said: "Let me try."
When Cheng Hao came, he was worried that there wouldn't be enough food here, so he brought some ingredients with him. They were all cooked food, roasted chicken and beef, which could be cut and served on the table.
At the same time, Lin Yuxun also bought some vegetables, but he thought there were only him and Shi Wenzhen, so he didn't buy many. To save money, he mostly bought vegetables - the dumplings were already full of meat anyway.
Now, those vegetables combined with the meat brought by Cheng Hao can just make a table full of sumptuous dishes.
Lin Yuxun originally planned to make only two vegetables in addition to dumplings. After all, Shi Wenzheng and he were not Cheng Hao and could not eat too much. But now, he changed his methods and made several more dishes, including scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Lin Yuxun didn't know how to cook this dish originally, but he made it after hearing Shi Wenzheng say that they could be stir-fried together. In fact, he just cooked scrambled eggs and tomatoes together, and found that it tasted quite good in the end.
When Shi Wenzhen came back, his small dining table, which was only one meter square, was already filled with dishes, and there was even a whole roasted chicken on the stove next to it.
However, what surprised Shi Wenzhen the most was not the vegetables, but the slightly yellow rice in the baking tray.
Lin Yu had come up with a plan to make this rice.
He cooked the rice in a pot, then mixed it with a little water and put it into a baking tray. Finally, he put the baking tray into the oven which was still warm from baking other things... When he took it out after half an hour, the rice inside was really done!
Seeing the rice, Shi Wenzheng forgot everything else: "Rice! There's actually rice!"
Cheng Hao was actually as excited as Shi Wenzheng. In fact, he had already eaten a bowl of rice before Shi Wenzheng came.
Serve a bowl of rice and mix it with the scrambled eggs with tomatoes made by Lin Yuxun. It is really delicious!
"And dumplings." Cheng Hao said again.
"There are also dumplings." Shi Wenzhen also saw the cooked dumplings and her eyes turned red.
This was his third Spring Festival after going abroad. In the first two Spring Festivals, he spent them just like any other except for calling his companions. He just felt it was particularly deserted. But this Spring Festival was different.
Shi Wenzheng's voice was a little choked with sobs: "It's great to know you guys."
"It's good for us to know you," Cheng Hao said, "You've helped Yu Xun a lot."
"He's very smart and hardworking. I didn't really help him much." Shi Wenzheng took off her glasses and wiped her eyes. "I didn't expect you to prepare such a surprise for me. Rice dumplings..."
Cheng Haolue was a little embarrassed - he actually came to give Lin Yu a surprise.
Lin Yuxun was also a little embarrassed - if Cheng Hao hadn't come, there would be no rice.
After she finished speaking, Shi Wenzheng realized that she had lost her composure in front of three children...
However, he soon stopped caring about that - the food was ready and they were going to eat early.
Shi Wenzhen couldn't wait to eat dinner, even though it was only four or five in the afternoon.
They ate this meal for a long time.
By the end of the meal, Shi Wenzheng had no other feelings except jealousy towards Cheng Hao.
He ate a bowl of rice, a bowl of dumplings, and some vegetables, and couldn't eat anything else. What about Cheng Hao? He ate three times as much as him!
Shi Wenzheng especially hopes that she can have such a good appetite.
Unfortunately he didn't.
While they were having dinner, an incident occurred - the telephone in Shi Wenzheng's apartment rang.
The people who called were classmates who went abroad with Shi Wenzhen. They came to say hello to Shi Wenzhen.
Being in a foreign country together, they could do nothing but call each other on this day of family reunion.
The person who called this time was a good friend of Shi Wenzheng: "Shi Wenzheng, you always called me early in the morning before, why didn't you call me today?" Shi Wenzheng's good friend and two other people were in the same school. They could celebrate the festival together, which would be much more lively than Shi Wenzheng's place.
"I have to eat New Year's Eve dinner, so I don't have time." Shi Wenzheng said.
"New Year's Eve dinner...what did you eat?" the other side asked.
Shi Wenzheng said calmly, "It's nothing special, just rice, dumplings, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, or something like that."
Cheng Hao clearly heard the envious voice of the person opposite him.
What made Cheng Hao even more amazed was that in the following time, Shi Wenzheng actually called one by one and showed off her New Year's Eve dinner to them.
In the end, Lin Yuxun felt a little embarrassed.
Some of the people who went abroad to study with Shi Wenzhen were already quite old and could cook. Compared with theirs, what he made was definitely nothing.
The most important reason why Shi Wenzhen was so happy was probably that someone was having dinner with him.
After dinner, Shi Wenzheng said, "It would be great if we could watch the Spring Festival Gala."
Cheng Hao said, "There's a time difference. The Spring Festival Gala isn't actually at this time."
"Yeah... Oh, forget it. How could an American TV station broadcast China's Spring Festival Gala?" Shi Wenzhen sighed.
Cheng Hao said, "American TV stations may not broadcast China's Spring Festival Gala, but in the future, people all over the world will definitely be able to watch it firsthand."
"You're thinking too much. There's no such good thing." Shi Wenzhen said.
"It will happen sooner or later." Cheng Hao was sure.
Shi Wenzheng was a technical person, so he immediately asked, "Then tell me, how do we do it?"
"Through the Internet?" Cheng Hao looked at Shi Wenzheng awkwardly. Forgive him for not having attended college. Although he had been online every day in his previous life and knew a little about servers, 5G, and 4G, he actually had no idea what the Internet was.
Fortunately, Shi Wenzheng didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she talked about something else, and sighed a little - their country is too weak now...
Cheng Hao said: "Although our country is weak now, it will become strong one day. I believe that Chinese people like me will one day be proud of our motherland!"
When Shi Wenzheng heard Cheng Hao's words, her eyes lit up: "I really want to toast you a glass of wine now."
"Minors can't drink alcohol," Cheng Hao said, then thought of something else: "Actually, I want to ask you something... Mr. Shi, how do I obtain Chinese citizenship? It seems a bit difficult."
He remembered from his previous life that it was quite difficult to obtain Chinese citizenship...
Actually, he won't be naturalizing as a Chinese citizen yet. After all, he doesn't have much and is still a minor. He can't do anything if he returns to China now, but he can still do it in the future...
"You are a good boy!" Shi Wenzheng looked at Cheng Hao excitedly.
They talked and chatted until ten o'clock in the evening.
It was already late, and Danny felt drowsy, his little head dozing off little by little... Cheng Hao said goodbye to Shi Wenzheng and looked at Lin Yuxun: "Yuxun, come with us to the hotel." Shi Wenzheng's place couldn't accommodate them, so he booked a room in a nearby hotel.
He felt that Lin Yuxun would like to be with them that night.
Lin Yuxun really preferred being with Cheng Hao Danny, so he agreed without thinking and stood up with Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao left the gifts he brought to Shi Wenzhen, and then left Shi Wenzhen's apartment with Lin Yuxun and Danny.
It was already late, and although many houses had lights on, the roadside shops were closed.
Cheng Hao asked Lin Yuxun to put on the scarf and said, "It will take half an hour to walk to the hotel. You might be a little tired..."
"I'm not afraid." Lin Yuxun said without thinking.
Cheng Hao laughed.
On the other side, watching Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun leave, Shi Wenzhen smiled and returned to her room. She first looked at the time, then took out a book and started reading.
Before he went abroad, he set a rule for himself to study at least ten hours a day, no more, no less.
He didn’t have enough time to study today and he still had to continue studying.
