Chapter 178 Return Home 2

When everyone walked over, Su He, Gu Jianhua and others greeted Team Leader Wang first.

Red Star: "Dad."

Han Jiajia smiled and said, "Hello, uncle."

Team leader Wang was happy, "Good, the kid must have gotten cold on the way."

Han Jiajia, "It's not cold, uncle."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Team Leader Wang said, "Let's go home. Jianhua and Xiaohe, you two can come with us."

Su He and Gu Jianhua shook their heads and said, "Brother-in-law, let's go to my parents first."

"That's fine, let's have a good drink some other day!"

Yaoyao was a sensible girl. She walked over to Han Jiajia and said, "Sister-in-law, let me help you carry it."

Han Jiajia shook her head and said, "No, no, I can do it myself."

Their small county town is not big, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk home from the station.

Sister Gu was watching over the dishes in the kitchen. When she heard the door open, she came over immediately.

"Mom." Hongxing shouted.

Third Sister Gu hit him and said, "You kid, you haven't come back for several years."

"I'm not coming back now." Hong Xing smiled and introduced Han Jiajia.

Han Jiajia, "Hello, auntie."

"Okay, okay, come in quickly, kid. You must be cold on the way here. Come sit down and warm yourself by the fire."

Sister Gu and team leader Wang were afraid that their daughter-in-law would be cold, so they lit a stove in the house.

Hongxing took Han Jiajia to warm up by the fire.

Sister Gu poured milk tea for the two of them, "Drink milk tea, it's hot."

Han Jiajia has never tried milk tea.

Sister Gu said enthusiastically, "I'm afraid you're not used to drinking salty milk tea, so I made it sweet. I put a little sugar in it. It tastes pretty good. Try it."

Han Jiajia and Hongxing took a sip and said, "It tastes good."

Hong Xing, "Mom, you can make milk tea? Why haven't I seen you make it before?"

Team leader Wang laughed and said, "Don't blame you. I have lived with your mother for so many years, and I have never drunk."

The little girl Yaoyao said, "Mom has never done this before. Today is the first time."

Hong Xing: "I think so. I am taking advantage of Jia Jia."

Han Jiajia glanced at him, meaning to tell him to stop being so rude, and Hongxing winked at her.

He finished a cup of milk tea and wanted another one. He went over to pour it. Third Sister Gu was mixing fried rice yogurt for the two of them. "Where's Jia Jia? Go pour some for Jia Jia."

Han Jiajia, "Auntie, I still have some." She hasn't finished drinking it yet, and is drinking it in small sips.

"Kids, you two go have some fried rice yogurt first." Team Leader Wang said after seeing that Third Sister Gu had finished mixing the food.

Sister Gu said, "Yes, eat something first to fill your stomach."

Han Jiajia likes fried rice yogurt very much. It tastes delicious.

The dishes in the kitchen were not finished yet, so Sister Gu and Team Leader Wang went to the kitchen to busy themselves, leaving the little girl Yaoyao to receive her brother and sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, try this milk tofu. It's freshly made and soft."

"And this milk skin is also newly made."

Han Jiajia had only eaten the hard milk tofu brought by Su He, and had never eaten the soft one. She ate a piece and said, "It's delicious."

Yaoyao, "Sister-in-law, you like it, right? My mother is going to make a dish of shredded milk tofu, which is even more delicious."

She likes to eat it, but the dish is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive to prepare.

Mix the egg and starch evenly, then put the milk tofu into the oil pan and fry it. Then stir-fry it with syrup and it will become stringy.

But this dish is not usually cooked at home.

"Really? Is it delicious?" Han Jiajia asked expectantly.

Yaoyao nodded wildly, "It's delicious, sister-in-law. It's very delicious. You can try it when it's ready. Anyone who likes milk tofu will like it."

"good."

The fried rice yogurt was too greasy after eating too much, so Sister Gu didn't mix too much for the two of them, just half a bowl was just right.

Han Jiajia quietly asked Hongxing, "Is this how you entertain guests here?"

Hong Xing nodded, "Yeah, I don't know about other things, but this is the case in our county and the surrounding areas."

"We use fried rice and yogurt as treats. Usually, we serve them to distinguished guests, or when a son-in-law or daughter-in-law comes to visit for the first time, or when the son-in-law comes back to visit during the Chinese New Year, that's how the family treats him."

"Of course it's the same at my husband's house."

"Our original intention is to prevent guests from being hungry before the meal, so they eat something to fill their stomachs," Hong Xing explained.

Han Jiajia: "I understand. You guys are very enthusiastic."

Although Han Jiajia doesn't know the prices of these things like milk tofu, milk skin and yogurt, these things are derivatives of milk. Milk costs 1 cent per pound, so how can these things be cheap?

I guess they are all quite expensive.

She felt the importance her future in-laws placed on her.

But it wasn't over yet. When it was time to eat, Han Jiajia was shocked to see the big round table filled with dishes.

Chicken, duck, fish, beef and mutton.

Braised lamb chops, stewed old hen with hazel mushrooms, stewed beef with black fungus, radish and tomatoes

Han Jiajia was shocked. Where did the tomatoes come from in this winter?

Yaoyao explained, "My mom canned it in the fall and stored it."

Han Jiajia raised her thumbs and said, "So that's how it is."

I made ten dishes, four of which were stews. The stews were a bit too many, but in winter, eating something warm makes the stomach feel good.

Moreover, the old hen and lamb chops are very delicious when stewed in their original flavor.

The staple food was dumplings and rice, and Sister Gu made two kinds.

The dishes were served and the family started to eat. Sister Gu first used the serving chopsticks to pick up a large chicken drumstick for Han Jiajia, "Girl, eat the chicken drumstick. I stewed it for three hours and it was really mushy."

Han Jiajia, "Thank you, auntie."

It was inconvenient for Team Leader Wang to serve food, so he called Yaoyao, "The lamb chops are delicious. Scoop a bowl for your sister-in-law."

"Child, eat your lamb chops with some of this hot sauce and chives."

Hong Xing, "Jia Jia, this beef stew with black fungus is also delicious. Try it."

Yaoyao, "Sister-in-law, this candied milk tofu is so delicious."

"I also really like this fried pork belly, sister-in-law. Try it."

"This fried mushroom is delicious. I can eat two steamed buns with this dish."

After a meal, Han Jiajia felt that she didn’t need to eat the staple food anymore, she was so full.

So far she has eaten a large chicken drumstick, drank a bowl of chicken soup, five lamb chops, and a bowl of lamb soup.

Two bowls of beef stewed with black fungus soup. This dish is really delicious, with a bit of sourness and sweetness from tomatoes, and is especially appetizing.

In addition, I ate a lot of other dishes and two yellow peaches from the can.

I also drank a bottle of soda.

They had almost finished the dishes and it was time for the staple food. Third Sister Gu brought both rice and dumplings and let her daughter-in-law eat whichever she liked.

Han Jiajia couldn't eat anymore because she had eaten too much. She symbolically ate ten dumplings and then put down her chopsticks.

Team leader Wang looked at the three sisters and said, "Jia Jia, eat more. Are you full?"

Han Jiajia looked at her round belly and said, "I'm full because of my uncle and aunt."

She didn't lie, she was really embarrassed.

Yaoyao took two oranges and a pear and said, "Sister-in-law, have some fruit after dinner."

That's possible.

She can eat it.

Hong Xing had finished eating too. He sat next to Han Jiajia and peeled oranges for her. He asked Team Leader Wang, Sister Gu, "Mom and Dad, when is the best time for Jiajia and I to go to my grandma's house?"

If I go there before the New Year, my grandma and grandma will definitely prepare a large table of dishes to entertain us.

Team leader Wang looked at the third sister and said, "Why don't you go with us to the second day of the Chinese New Year?"

Sister Gu said, "That's fine. It's only a few days away anyway. Let's go together then."

So we agreed to go together.

Su He got home and had a meal, and his belly was full.

Chang Yi sighed, "Grandma's fried meatballs are still the best."

Chang An also said, "Yeah, the braised spareribs made by others don't have that flavor."

Others refer to: Su He and Gu Jianhua.

Su's mother smiled and said, "I know you two like to eat, so your grandma fried a big pot of meatballs and bought two pieces of spare ribs."

Changjun and Changhuan were jealous of their older sister and brother, so they ran over and hugged Su's father and mother, "Grandma, where is our favorite food? Have you prepared a pot of it too?"

Mr. and Mrs. Su treated their four grandsons equally and liked them all. They remembered what the two older grandsons liked to eat, and the two younger ones didn't forget either.

Changyun likes to eat fish, whether it is grilled, braised, or fried, as long as it is fish, he likes it.

"I fried a pot of small fish for you, and I also prepared four big fish!"

Changjun, "Wow! So many!"

Chang Huan, "What about me?"

Father Su, "I've prepared it for you. I bought 20 kilograms of pork and made shredded pork with Beijing sauce just for you."

Hearing this, little girl Chang Huan was delighted, "Grandma, you are the best."

Gu Jianhua watched the four kids being coquettish with their father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he became playful. "Mom and Dad, have you prepared anything for me?"

Su's father and mother, "............."

Gu Jianhua is not picky about what he likes to eat and will eat everything, but he seems to like dried tofu with hot peppers and shredded pork with Beijing sauce more.

Yes, just like his little daughter, they both like to eat shredded pork with Beijing sauce.

Su He asked, "Mom and Dad, are you all right? Do you have any back pain?"

Su's mother said, "We are fine."

Father Su also said, "Don't look at me and your mother, we are over 60 years old and old, but I think our physical fitness is much better than you young people."

"The boy next door was panting as he carried a bag of food, but I was walking briskly."

Su He, "Dad, you can't carry food by yourself, right?"

Father Su, "No, no, I asked your second brother to move it for me."

Su's mother said, "Don't be fooled by what your father said. Your father really takes good care of his body."

Su He, "That's fine, but please don't move heavy objects."

Even though I have taken the system's fortifying pill, I am still that old after all. It would be painful if I sprained my waist or twisted my arm.

Su's mother said, "Your father won't. It's winter now, so he's free. But in summer, he'll be very busy."

Suho, "What are you busy with?"

Su's mother said, "Go fishing with your father-in-law. They make an appointment to go fishing every day. The space in your village can't accommodate them. Let's go fishing in the reservoir of another village."

"Did you catch any fish?"

Su's mother curled her lips and said, "That's just the way it is. You can't say there aren't any. There are still a few small ones every day."

Hearing this, Father Su became anxious and said, "You forgot that I lost a lot of weight in the fall. It was about 7 or 8 kilograms!"

Su's mother snorted, "Then you didn't bring it back either."

Su He asked with a smile, "What's going on?"

Su's mother said, "I heard from them that the fish was caught but they didn't catch it and it went back into the river."

Father Su, "Well...I didn't catch it, so I can only blame the fish for being too slippery, not my poor fishing skills."

Su Fu was very regretful and had always been brooding over it. Sooner or later, he would avenge his past shame and catch a bigger fish.

Su He, "Dad, your life is pretty exciting, what about you, Mom? What do you do every day?"

Su's mother groaned, "He's out so I can only stay at home."

Father Su said, "Come on, you go to visit and chat every day, and you are not limited to our county, you also go to Xiangyang Village."

Su's mother glared at him, "So what? You're out fishing so I can't go chat."

Father Su was frightened when he saw the old woman's look, "I didn't say no."

Su's mother snorted and said to Su He, "I'll chat with your mother-in-law and go see Old Feng and his wife."

Speaking of Feng's father and mother, Su's mother sighed, "I don't know when Old Feng and the others will be able to go back."

After this bad guy was overthrown, the college entrance examination was restored and the national policy also changed.

Can other things also be changed?

Su He, "It will be soon, Mom. I guess they will re-investigate the case. After all, so many people were implicated."

"I hope so." said Su's mother.

It's really not good for a good university teacher to be dragged to the countryside for no reason and live a life of herding cattle every day.

After chatting for a while, Su He, Gu Jianhua and their family of six went back.

It was almost two o'clock when I got home.

After not seeing her eldest granddaughter and grandson for a year, Gu's mother missed them very much. When she saw them, she hugged the two children and cried.

"We are back."

Changjun Changhuan, "Grandma, we want a hug too."

After being interrupted by the two kids, Gu's mother calmed down a little.

"Okay, okay, I'll hold you all."

Mother Gu asked, "Are you hungry? I stewed some chicken."

Su He, "Mom, we are not hungry, so we ate at my mom's house."

Mother Gu said, "I was thinking the same thing. Let's have it tonight."

"Are you getting used to your work?" Father Gu asked his son.

Gu Jianhua: "The habits are similar to those in the county."

Father Gu: "That's fine."

After everyone chatted for a while, Gu's mother asked, "I heard from your third sister that Hongxing brought a partner back this year. Has he come?"

Su He, "Yes, Mom, we came together."

After hearing this, Gu's mother knew what was going on. "What about that girl? I heard she is from Peking University. Is she your roommate?"

Su He, "Yes, mom, she's a good girl... I originally wanted Jia Jia to introduce a date to Hong Xing, but I don't know many people in the capital."

"Who knew this guy liked matchmakers?"

Mother Gu smiled and said, "They are attracted to each other."

"Yes."

"Mingyue Xueer and the others are not coming back this year. They will spend the New Year in Beijing." Mother Gu said while eating melon seeds.

Su He, "Yes, the child is still young, it's inconvenient to carry him back and forth."

Mother Gu understood very well, "It's ok to come back when the kids grow up."

"Do you know Xiaohe?" Gu's mother suddenly sounded mysterious.

Su He was curious, "What? Mom?"

Mother Gu said, "Gu Li didn't come back this winter. Your aunt and Wu Sanfeng said that he wouldn't come back during the Chinese New Year. He just focused on studying."

Su He was shocked, "What didn't come back?"

No, why didn’t Gu Li go home? She has not been in school since the holiday.

Mother Gu said, "Yes, he didn't come back."

Su He, "Mom, that's not right. Where did she go if she didn't come back? She's not at school either. She disappeared as soon as the holidays came."

"I thought she went back."

Gu's mother was even more shocked. "What? She's not in school? Then where did she go?"

Changyi came over and said, "I heard her say that she might go to her boyfriend's house for the New Year. I guess she is going to her boyfriend's house for the New Year!"
