Su Yan didn't expect that her mother-in-law would make the chicken soup sweet in order to please Zhu Ting. It contained red dates, peanuts, candied dates, dried longan and dried lychees, and even boiled several eggs in the chicken soup.
With so many ingredients added, an old hen was stewed into a full pot. It will take two days to eat!
Su Yan didn't really want to eat the sweet food, but the little dog Lu Yiming ate it happily. He really loves sweets.
"Yan Yan, why don't you drink chicken soup?"
"Mom, my sister-in-law is still in good health, so let her eat. I can eat the other dishes."
"There's still some in the pot."
"Mom, I'll eat after I finish my meal. Shushu, why does your Shuangshuang eat so little?"
"She doesn't have a very good appetite, nothing compared to your Yiming. Yiming is only half a year younger but looks older than Shuangshuang."
"Maybe he's bigger than his dad. He must have been a big eater when he was little."
Hua Min smiled and said, "You're right. My parents always say that our Lu Ting is a big eater. At that time, when there was nothing to eat, he would just dig up the raw sweet potatoes from the fields and eat them."
Lu Ting, who was far away in Hai City, suddenly sneezed. Qi Bin pushed him and said, "Dude, your wife is missing you at home."
Lu Ting smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I know."
"Lu Ting, do you still have those fermented tofu and dried radish? I'm tired of eating these greasy sweet dishes every day. Damn, they even put sugar in stir-fried cabbage. The people in Hai City really are rich."
"Adding sugar is a dietary issue for them, and has nothing to do with whether they have money or not. Come to my dorm, and I'll bring you a can of dried radish later."
"Thank you. I'm going to take a leave to go back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year. I'll bring you some local specialties."
"Qi Bin, you might be promoted to battalion commander when you return this time. Why don't you bring your wife and children to live with us?"
"I'm living with them on a large bunk bed now. Where will they live when my wife and children come? When I get promoted, I'll see if the boss will give me two rooms in your building as well."
He didn't know whether Qi Bin could be given two rooms in their building, because their building seemed to be full of people unless someone moved out.
He will be able to go back in a month. Next Sunday, he plans to go shopping at Wing On Department Store and buy some beautiful clothes for Yanyan. He will also buy a new set of clothes for his son and send it back for him to wear during the Chinese New Year.
I don't know what Yanyan is doing now. Does she miss him?
What was Su Yan doing? After dinner, she invited her sister-in-law Lu Shu to stay at her home for one night. She had been married to the Lu family for so long, but she had never invited her sister-in-law to stay at her home.
It just so happened that Zhu Ting and Lu Jin were still at home, and the two brothers Lu Chen and Lu Yu each had a room. After thinking about it, Lu Shu decided to stay at her sister-in-law's house for one night.
