Chapter 27 Stewed Rice
"Dad, Mom!"
She whispered, tears welling up in her eyes.
Unfortunately, her voice was too soft and was soon drowned out by the laughter of the two kids.
"Grandma!~"
Yaya ran towards her grandma, threw the ball into Liu Zhaodi's arms, and called out sweetly: "Grandma, Yaya misses you so much!~" -
Yaya loves her grandma the most!
Every time grandma came to visit her, she would hug her, kiss her, and bring her lots of delicious and fun things.
As long as grandma is around, mommy will love her especially and allow her to snuggle in her arms...
She has been looking forward to her grandmother's arrival.
"Hey! ~ Hey, my Yaya is here. Come and let grandma hug her... Let's see if our Yaya is a good girl?" Liu Zhaodi picked up Yaya and kissed her lovingly.
She waved at Maomao again: "Maomao, why don't you come over here? Come, let grandma hug you too... Hey, has this child gained some weight recently? A little fatter is good, a little fatter is good... Before, both children were too thin, they should be white and plump to be cute."
"grandmother……"
Even Maomao, who was used to acting like a little adult, let go of his grudges and threw himself into Liu Zhaodi's arms, letting her hold him in her arms.
Liu Zhaodi took one child at a time, picked them up and played with them.
Huang Zhiye was watching enviously. After realizing that he had lost his composure, he coughed and turned his gaze to Huang Xinran: "You should take the children out for a walk more often. Look how happy your mother is to see the two children."
"Yeah, Dad, I get it."
Huang Xinran suppressed her sobs and nodded, wiping away the tears that had secretly fallen.
Both parents love their two children very much!
In fact, given her years of indifference to children, it was impossible for Yaya to get close to her immediately after she changed her attitude. However, with Liu Zhaodi's unrestrained love, Yaya was able to maintain a pure heart when she was a child.
Seeing his daughter who rarely looked like a rooster, Huang Zhiye's simple face finally broke into a smile.
He remembered something and took it out from his pocket and gave it to her: "Here, it's for you to eat."
What Huang Zhiye handed her was a wild fruit prickly ash wrapped in a piece of tung leaf.
It is also called March bubble, thornberry, and raspberry. There are not many ripe ones now. Huang Zhiye saw some while working and picked them and took them home. He happened to meet his little daughter and gave them to her. Unexpectedly, Huang Xinran was very excited.
"Chippo? Dad, thank you. Thank you so much! I know what to do next!"
Huang Xinran was really happy.
Although she made some money from cherries, there were only so many cherries. How would she eat after selling them all?
After seeing the prickly berries, she suddenly had an idea: if she could help these prickly berries grow, could she sell them like cherries?
The thought of this made her feel hot inside.
"Child, are you so happy that you've gone crazy? Come into the house and have dinner!" Liu Zhaodi called her and went into the house first, carrying the two children.
In order to save time and firewood, Huang Xinran made "stewed pot rice".
Stewed pot rice is also called lazy man's rice. It is made by stir-frying various side dishes such as potatoes and beans with oil and salt, then spreading a layer of soaked rice evenly on the surface of the vegetables, adding a proper amount of clean water from the edge of the pot, covering the pot with a lid, and then plugging the gap between the pot and the lid with a wet towel, and slowly simmering it with a thin fire.
By the time the water in the pot has dried up, the vegetables at the bottom of the pot have already given off a rich aroma, and the rice is also cooked through with golden and crispy edges. It tastes so delicious!
As soon as the food was served, grandma first scooped the crispy and fragrant hot pot crust to the two children, and the last spoonful was given to Huang Xinran.
"Come on, come on, eat quickly, the hotpot is so delicious! But don't eat it too quickly, chew it slowly!"
Grandma happily instructed the two children.
"Got it, Grandma."
Yaya quickly agreed and took the first bite of the hot pot and chewed it slowly. "Oh, grandma, this rice smells so good!"
"It smells good, right? Grandma never thought that my Ranran could cook so well. Come, eat! Everyone, come and try Ranran's cooking skills."
Liu Zhaodi was very impressed that her daughter had learned to cook. It was true that after a woman got married, she was different from when she was at her parents' home.
Thinking of this, she felt sad again.
Her parents were cold and heartless to her sisters in order to have a son. She only had a few days of comfort after joining the Huang family. Therefore, she doted on Ranran in the early years and spoiled her to the point that she was ignorant of the world.
Unexpectedly, this also indirectly harmed her...
She quickly turned her head away and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Now everything is fine, her son-in-law is promising, and Ranran has also given birth to a twin, making it a good word. As long as she calms down and lives a good life, her blessings are still to come!
It’s a pity that Huang Xinran in his previous life ultimately failed to live up to her expectations.
Huang Xinran was also busy eating the stewed rice.
The Huang family has a small population. The father and the eldest brother are willing to work hard. In addition, Liu Zhaodi can do the work of a man. Although the work points of the family are not the highest in the production team, it is more than enough per capita.
The difference can be seen from the fact that the Lu family’s rice jar has been emptied, while the Huang family can still eat white rice.
Not to mention that because she brought her children here today, Huang Hongyi insisted on cutting a piece of bacon, dicing it, and mixing it into the risotto.
Because of the bacon, the food is so delicious!
Huang Xinran forgot why he came here and just focused on eating. He finished the third bowl of rice and looked into the pot to find it clean. Only then did he put down his bowl and chopsticks embarrassedly.
"Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister-in-law, I'm full. You guys take your time."
"Full?"
Liu Zhaodi was a little surprised and quickly took out half of the rice from the bowl: "There is too much rice to finish, I'll give you half..."
"Mom, I've already eaten three bowls. I'm really full."
"Are you dissatisfied with your mother for eating it? When you were little, you ate meat from her mouth..."
"Mom!~"
Huang Xinran was extremely embarrassed.
She had been teased by her mother since she was young, and she was too embarrassed to face anyone. Who can control their behavior when they are young? Her mother was really...
Everyone laughed.
"Alright, alright, this happened so many years ago. Didn't you see that Ranran's daughter is older than she was then? Why bring up the past again and embarrass Ranran?"
It would have been better if Huang Hongyi didn't say it. Once he said it, everyone laughed even more happily.
As they were talking and laughing, there was a knock on the door. Huang Hongyi's eyes lit up: "It must be him, here he comes!"
He hurried to open the door, turned around and led a sturdy man wearing a straw hat into the house. The man was carrying a large sack on his shoulders, which looked very heavy as he held the sack tightly.
"Sister, it's done!"
Huang Hongyi smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and asked for praise proudly.
