Wang Yu saw that her husband was no longer angry, thinking that this matter was finally over, so she walked to her mother and handed her another box of lip balm. Wang Yu thought that her husband's lip color was very beautiful and he didn't need this.
The Queen Mother was also very surprised when she received the facial cream. She didn't expect her son to buy it for her, but she said, "This is very expensive, why buy it for me? I can't use it at my age."
Wang Yu: "It's not expensive, how can I not use it? Mom is still young, it's the right time to use it!"
The Queen Mother was also very happy to hear what her son said. After all, women like to hear this no matter how old they are. The Queen Mother was not in front of the stall just now. If she knew that the box was two hundred coins, she would definitely not let him buy it. Isn't this just smearing money on his face?
The group strolled around for a while and it was almost noon, so Wang Yu took them to Baiweilou for dinner. Wang's mother quickly stopped them, saying that restaurants were expensive and they could just eat at a small stall.
Wang Yu winked at Cheng Chen and said, "We've been busy for a while, let's treat ourselves to something good."
"Let's go, mother. Just for today, your husband also wants you to have something good to eat." Cheng Chen received the look from her husband and pulled the Queen Mother to speak.
Seeing Cheng Chen say this, Wang's mother relaxed. When she reached the door of the restaurant, she was still a little hesitant. She had never been to such a big restaurant in her life, but in order not to embarrass her son, she walked in calmly.
The waiter saw someone coming up to greet him. He knew Wang Yu had taken a day off today, so he asked, "Mr. Wang is here."
Wang Yu: "I brought my parents here for dinner today."
"Okay, you sit here." He then led the group to the window seats, and after they sat down, he asked what they wanted to eat.
Wang Yu: "Bring us some of our signature dishes."
The waiter nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, then we'll have braised flat fish, a whole chicken in fragrant sauce, stir-fried lychees, and a pearl jade soup. Would you like a cold drink? Iced cold dumplings, a new item this year."
"Okay, four points!"
"Okay, wait a moment."
Speaking of cold drinks, when I was doing the accounts before, I saw that the amount of ice produced by the restaurant was increasing. After chatting with the manager, I learned that the ice used in this restaurant was all made by the owner himself. Wang Yu once again marveled at the wisdom of the ancients, who could use ice even in this summer.
Wang Yu knew that there were records of using saltpeter to make ice in the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the people here could also do it. However, the method of making ice was controlled by the owner of the restaurant. Ordinary people had to buy it if they wanted to use it, and the price was not cheap.
Wang Yu also knew how to make ice from saltpeter, but he was afraid that he couldn't make a business out of it because the ice had been monopolized by someone else, and he didn't dare to snatch it away from them. Wang Yu looked around and found several ice basins in the lobby, which was quite cool. It was indeed a wealthy man.
The dishes on the table are delicious and look very appetizing. Cheng Chen looked at the bowl of cold drink in front of him. There were four small dumplings with a few flower petals on them. It looked very beautiful. There was a hint of coolness in the water, which was refreshing and heat-relief. Cheng Chen couldn't wait to eat one and his eyes curved up. The heat dissipated in an instant, and he ate another one!
Wang Yu found him adorable, so he put a piece of chicken in his bowl and said, "Eat your food first, and I'll give you my portion later."
He then gave a piece of meat to Wang's father and mother respectively. Wang's mother ate a piece of meat and said with emotion: "This restaurant is really good. It's cool inside and the food is delicious."
The four of them nodded and said it was indeed delicious. The family chatted and ate together. In the end, most of the dishes on the table were finished with nothing left. They rubbed their stomachs comfortably. Of course, Wang Yu's cold drink went into Cheng Chen's stomach.
When paying the bill, the shopkeeper gave him a discount, charging him only four hundred coins out of the five hundred coins. When Wang Mu found out that he still needed four hundred coins after the discount, she was shocked. The restaurant was indeed a place for rich people to eat. A single meal cost a farmer a month's income. However, the food in the restaurant was indeed good, and she was satisfied to be able to eat there this time.
During the next few days of vacation, Wang Yu went to the restaurant and practiced calligraphy and reading at home. Every time he wrote it out from memory, he had a new understanding of the article in the book. After Wang Yu finished writing out another article from memory, he wrote down his own notes and explanations and stood up to move around.
On weekdays, there was nothing much to do. Wang Yu studied, Cheng Chen accompanied him in embroidering handkerchiefs, and occasionally went to play with Li An. Qing Ge'er's family had a lot of fields to work on, and they were busy at home, so he helped out at home during this period. However, since Wang Yu spent more time at home during the holidays, he was willing to stay at home with Wang Yu.
Wang Yu twisted his aching neck and said, "Achen, get up and turn around. You've been sitting for too long!"
Hearing this, Cheng Chen put down his purse and walked over to Wang Yu. Seeing the article he had just written on the table, he said, "Husband, your handwriting is so beautiful!"
Wang Yu looked at his admiring eyes and thought that he could also teach him to read, so he asked, "Can I teach you to read?"
Cheng Chen also wanted to learn to read, but would it bother her husband if he had to study? It would be bad if she delayed her husband's studies because of teaching him to read.
Wang Yu seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "I also need a balance between work and rest. I can teach you two words every day."
Cheng Chen nodded happily. Wang Yu pulled Cheng Chen to sit at the table and took a new piece of paper and wrote the two words "Cheng Chen" on it. "Today we will learn your name, Cheng Chen."
Cheng Chen still knew his own name. His older brother had gone to school for two years and had taught him to recognize his own name. However, when he saw his own name, he thought his husband's handwriting was particularly beautiful. He said, "Husband, I want to recognize your name first."
Hearing this, Wang Yu wrote down his name again. Cheng Chen looked at the two words and thought that her husband's name was simpler, so she repeated it silently three times in her mind.
Then Wang Yu held Cheng Chen's hand and wrote his name stroke by stroke. Cheng Chen, who was hugged by her husband, was not able to think clearly. The scent of her husband kept coming into her nose, making her cheeks flush.
Wang Yu could sense that he was distracted and asked him what he was thinking about. Cheng Chen suddenly woke up and shook his head: "No, I'm not thinking about anything."
Cheng Chen didn't dare to think about anything else and wrote the two words carefully. Wang Yu asked him to follow the words and slowly describe them himself. He would be able to do it after writing them a few times.
During the holidays, Wang Yu taught Chen to recognize two words every day at home. After that, he resumed his daily routine, occasionally visiting the winery.
Time flew by and it was autumn. Early that morning, Chen Yanwen came to class carrying two boxes of snacks and said, "Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. My mother asked me to bring two boxes of mooncakes to you. Are you ready to give the teacher a gift?"
Looking at the box handed over by Chen Yanwen, Wang Yu realized that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming tomorrow. It turned out that he had been here for half a year. Wang Yu thought in a daze that he had parents and someone he loved here. In the past six months, he had really become a local here. Except for the first two days, he did not feel uncomfortable at all.
