However, the people living in the base’s family compound come from all over the country, and not every family drinks Laba porridge.
Su He found all the beans and other ingredients he could find at home and barely managed to put eight things together to cook.
The cured chickens and ducks in the yard have been drying in the sun for two days. After a few more days, they can be brought into the house.
When the family was drinking Laba porridge, Damao missed his father a little. After drinking a bowl, he began to say, "When will Dad come back? He can't have such delicious porridge!"
Ermao also echoed his brother's words: "I like to drink this porridge too. Mom, can we make it every day?"
Xiaobao always says something nice: "Mommy!"
I don’t know if she was talking about the porridge made by her mother, or the mother who made this porridge!
Teacher Wu: "Da Mao, do you miss your dad?"
Damao nodded.
Su He: "I'll ask Grandma Yuan later if we can pack some up and have someone send it to Dad. If so, then we can make a separate portion of the delicious food for Dad these few days. Damao, is that okay?"
When Damao heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.
After dinner, Su He went to the Yuan family next door. There was not only Master Yuan at home, but also several other people, some of whom Su He could name but some she could not.
She just greeted him vaguely, not mentioning anyone specifically, so she managed to get the matter over with.
When Yuan Shiqi saw her coming, he asked her to sit down as well. After she sat down, he said, "Xiao Su, you also want to ask if you can bring food to Da Mao's father?"
Su He looked at the family members around him and understood. Today was Laba Festival, and many families considered it a solar term. They made delicious food at home and wanted to send food to their parents under the pretext of the festival. If they couldn't see their parents for such a long time, wouldn't anyone miss them?
Su He nodded: "During the meal, Damao said it would be a shame if Dad couldn't have such delicious Laba porridge. I came to ask, if it doesn't work, forget it!"
The people sitting next to me all expressed the same idea.
Yuan Shiqi shook his head. "I'm afraid not. Besides, they'll have food prepared for them inside. Their health is very important. Without a healthy body, how can they do research? Even though they use their brains, they often stand for most of the day, so they must be tired! I received a call from Lao Yuan yesterday. It was good news. I heard that he'll be back soon! This mission was successfully completed ahead of schedule!"
For a moment, the people around clapped their hands vigorously, and Su He was also infected. She felt that it was really not easy. If she had not traveled here and experienced it personally, she really didn't know that doing scientific research was so hard!
Master Yuan: "So, I heard there are special rewards. Everyone can go to the logistics department to collect the rewards. We can have a prosperous new year!"
Everyone spoke kindly again. After everyone had left, Master Yuan asked Su He not to go home yet: "Xiao Su, wait a moment. I have cut my new clothes for the New Year. It's a good time for you to come and help me sew them with the sewing machine. I'm getting old and my eyes are starting to blur. It's hard for me to even thread a needle and sew!"
Su He agreed and stayed at Yuan's house. She knew that Master Yuan must have other reasons for looking for her.
