Holding a book given by Aunt Zhou, Lin Manman, Lin Shouwang and Lin Yintian crossed the back mountain and returned home!
When the three of them got home, Lin Shangjing had already returned. After reading the note left by Lin Shouwang, Lin Shangjing was standing at the door looking towards the back mountain!
Seeing Lin Manman and the other two coming back, Lin Shangjing stepped forward and complained:
"Second brother, Manman, why can't you two wait for me? I'm so anxious that I'm afraid we'll get lost!"
Lin Shouwang opened the door and said:
"You're in a hurry for something, why are you in such a hurry? Is the meal ready? We're all hungry after climbing all the way up the mountain!"
Lin Shangjing nodded and said:
"The rice has been fished out, and the vegetables have been cut, but they haven't been stewed yet!"
Lin Manman took the initiative to say:
"Then I'll stew it. I just happened to come back from Harbin and there's a leek seller there. I bought some leeks and will fry them later. I'll use the rest to make leek and egg dumplings tomorrow!"
When he heard about making dumplings, Lin Shangjing, a foodie, had already forgotten everything else and suggested:
"That night I'll take the frozen shrimps into the house to thaw them, then peel out the shrimp meat. The shrimp meat will taste delicious with leeks and eggs!"
Lin Shouwang tapped Lin Shangjing on the head and said:
"It's such a waste to peel the shrimps. We usually rely on them to add flavor when we stew cabbage!"
"We also rely on frozen shrimp for Chinese New Year dishes, so don't even think about using frozen shrimp!"
"I still have a lot of dried shrimps at home, so it's the same if I put dried shrimps in it!"
There was nothing wrong with Lin Shouwang's plan. Lin Manman agreed with it wholeheartedly. Although she had a lot of shrimps in her space, she couldn't take them out often. At most, she would thaw the frozen shrimps and then secretly put some in when cooking!
Of course, there can't be more than that at one time. After all, the number of shrimps brought into the house is limited. Putting in 3-4 won't make a big difference, but if there are 10 or 8 more, not to mention someone as careful as Lin Shouwang, even someone as careless as Lin Shangjing can see it!
So it’s better to stew the cabbage to improve the flavor, or simmer it!
When Lin Shangjing heard that it couldn’t be wrapped in dumplings, he felt a little disappointed, but it would be nice to add some dried shrimps to enhance the flavor!
Moreover, Lin Shangjing felt that he was just being too diligent for nothing. If he hadn't cooked and cut the vegetables in advance, he might have had dumplings for dinner in the evening!
Speaking of eating dumplings, not only Lin Shangjing was craving for them, even Lin Shouwang, who usually doesn't pay much attention to food, was craving for them!
The main reason is that after Lin Manman left, the two brothers were very worried about Lin Manman, so they had no time to prepare delicious food!
That is to say, only when it was time to replenish Lin Yintian's body would he fry some meat and steam some eggs!
Having said that, I wasn't that worried. The rice cooked by the two brothers tasted just barely cooked, and it wasn't delicious at all!
Because she had something to do later, Lin Manman didn't do anything complicated. She just blanched some vermicelli in boiling water, cut some pork belly, stewed some cabbage, vermicelli and pork belly, and fried some leeks and eggs.
Lin Manman cooks quickly. Using two stoves together, both dishes are ready in more than 20 minutes!
The four of them were also hungry, so they ate all the rice that Lin Shangjing had scooped out.
After dinner, the four of them each held a large bowl of rice soup with sugar, and drank while chatting. Only then did Lin Manman tell them what had happened.
When Lin Yintian heard that Gu Yanting had prepared all the ingredients, he stopped drinking the rice soup and put down the bowl and said:
"I thought about this problem when Manman moved his household registration out!"
"But Wang Jinfeng really had to be resolved. She was so full of traps, so I didn't say anything!"
"A time bomb is always more urgent than a mine that is about to explode now!"
"It's hard for Gu to be so thoughtful. Even your brother is not as good as him. His consideration is very correct. When I recover, I will personally thank the Gu family and Gu!"
When Lin Yintian said that he would personally thank Gu Yanting, Lin Manman started coughing. While coughing, Lin Manman said:
"We should thank the Gu family, but Brother Gu said that we don't need to thank him, as this is what he should do!"
Upon hearing what Lin Manman said, Lin Yintian, who had never said harsh words to her, scolded her with a stern face:
"Manman, that's not what I meant. There is no such thing as a right in the world. It's because the Gu family values friendship and loyalty. Gu has a good relationship with your brother. Dad doesn't want you to say that again!"
Lin Manman didn't expect that Lin Yintian would misunderstand what she said, but she and Gu Yanting have just started dating, so it is not appropriate to tell her family yet!
So Lin Manman lowered his head and said:
"I know, Dad!"
Seeing his daughter lowering her head, Lin Yintian felt that his words were too harsh. After all, his daughter was taken away by Wang Jinfeng when she was 8 years old. He, as a father, was absent during the period when her character was developing. Fortunately, she is still young and it is not too late to teach her now!
Fearing that his daughter would be embarrassed, Lin Yintian patiently taught her:
"They are being polite when they say this, and they really don't consider us as outsiders, but we can't think that way. The Gu family has been very kind to us, and everyone in our family must remember this. If there is a chance in the future, Dad and you will do your best to repay them!"
Lin Manman nodded without saying anything, but she thought in her heart, according to the "reward" that Gu Yanting wanted, I guess you would have done your best, let alone not breaking his legs!
Of course, Lin Yintian doesn’t know about Lin Manman and Gu Yanting yet. Seeing that Lin Manman admits her mistakes and corrects them, Lin Yintian is still very pleased!
Everything was said and done, and the whole family was tired. It was getting dark early, so the four of us went to bed early!
