Chapter 445 Let it be
Seeing that only sweet potato starch was added to the marinated fish, Bai Yangfan picked up an egg and cracked it open, poured the egg white on it, and stirred it with chopsticks in one direction for a while.
Then put the sauerkraut into the pot one by one, and then throw in a cucumber. When the heat is almost right, put the fish meat into the boiling soup one by one.
In an instant, the mouth-watering sour and spicy aroma rushed into people's noses, attracting a wave of inquiring gazes from Mr. Lu.
I don’t understand what kind of fish my granddaughter-in-law is cooking. It smells so good. It seems a bit similar to what he eats every day, but the aroma is different.
Su He, who was standing at the kitchen door, wrote down everything her son and daughter-in-law did. If the old man liked it, she would learn to cook it in the future.
The taste of this pickled fish is very special, not the one they usually eat, it seems to have been specially processed. It smells more fragrant and should taste very good.
The fish was quite big, so Lu Jingheng cooked the whole thing and added a lot of vegetables, filling up two large pots.
As soon as the food came out of the kitchen, Mr. Lu stood up and walked to the dining table. Like a child, he asked Lu Jingheng, "Boy! What did you cook? Why does it smell so good?"
The old man bent down and took a sip, and found the spicy and fragrant taste very tempting.
Lu Dajun knew his father was greedy, so he quickly went to the kitchen to get a set of bowls and chopsticks and handed them to him: "Dad! Try it first."
"Is it okay? Wouldn't that be bad?" Old Master Lu asked as he took the bowl and chopsticks and looked at Lu Jingheng. "Is it embarrassing for you if your grandpa acts like a greedy cat when your wife comes to visit for the first time?"
"No." Lu Jingheng took the bowl from the old man's hand and picked up some fish for him. "Grandpa! My wife is the most casual person. And what's more! My wife can cook a lot of delicious dishes that even chefs in big restaurants outside may not be able to make.
"Whatever you want to eat in the future, just tell my wife and she will make it for you when she has time. For example, this pickled fish, the fish meat has been marinated and tastes very delicious, you should try it!"
“Hey!”
Mr. Lu was not polite at all. He picked up the bowl, picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth. He took a sip. The smooth, fresh, delicious and delicate taste instantly stimulated his taste buds, and the old man's eyes lit up.
Lu Dajun stood aside with a questioning look in his eyes, wanting to hear what the old man thought of the dish.
He waited until he had eaten three pieces of fish before he put down his chopsticks contentedly and gave a thumbs up: "Delicious! My granddaughter-in-law is a good cook. I will have a good meal in the future."
When he gets the chance, he will brag to those old guys about how his grandson's wife is not only a good doctor, but also a good cook. He is very satisfied.
Bai Yangfan just came out of the kitchen and smiled calmly after hearing this: "When I was little, my family was poor and we couldn't afford anything to eat. Later, when I grew up, I liked to think about delicious food, and over time I fell in love with it."
Lu Dajun glanced at his daughter-in-law in surprise and nodded in agreement: "This hobby is great. Not only does it satisfy my own appetite, but it also brings happiness to others."
It was a rare occasion for his son to say something so appropriate. Mr. Lu gave him a surprised glance and said, "Not bad, you've finally grown up."
Bai Yangfan couldn't understand what his words meant, but Lu Jingheng knew that in his grandfather's heart, his father was a child who would never grow up.
He didn't have any special abilities, and was quite a bit of a troublemaker when he was young, otherwise his mother wouldn't have succeeded in her scheme. He had a miserable life during those years in the countryside, and according to his grandfather, he didn't want to be brought back to Kyoto.
Later, he could not bear his constant letter to his grandmother begging for her misery. His old mother could not bear to see her son suffer, so she finally got him back.
Ever since he joined the army, his grandfather has always told him to be diligent, serious and down-to-earth in doing things, and never to learn from his father, who is not good at anything and eats nothing.
When the old man said that his father had grown up, he was actually just joking with him.
Lu Dajun was not embarrassed by his father's teasing. Instead, he nodded proudly and replied, "That's right. If I don't grow up, how can I take the kids out to play in the future?"
When this was mentioned, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Bai Yangfan. She didn't seem shy at all and responded calmly, "My dog... Lu Jingheng and I are both not young anymore. After we get married, we won't use contraception. We'll just let nature take its course and have the baby if we get pregnant."
Mr. Lu smiled and said, "That's good. We are not in a hurry. Let nature take its course. With the current family planning policy, we can only have one child. Whether it's a boy or a girl, we can't be disgusted."
The latter part of the sentence was said to Lu Dajun and Su He, fearing that the two of them had a son-centric mentality. They should be given a shot of vaccination first so that the grandson's wife would not have any psychological burden in the future.
Bai Yangfan: "..." Thank you! I will never have any psychological burden. I will take care of my own children. No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, they are the continuation of my life.
Why should you care about other people’s feelings?
She understood what the old man meant. He was giving her a reassurance, telling her not to think too much.
Suddenly I felt that such a considerate old man was very cute and worthy of being treated sincerely.
Lu Dajun was the first to speak out: "I don't mind. I just wish we had a girl. She'd dress up beautifully every day and look great when we go out. Boys are more naughty, playing with guns and sticks and mud all day. They're not fun."
In his impression, his son Lu Jingheng has never been close to him, but his daughter Lu Xiaoxiao has always grown up with him and his wife, so he still likes his daughter more.
His son always had a stern face towards him, as serious as an old man, just like his father. He became better after he got a daughter-in-law, and seemed to have some sense of being a son.
Still not as lovely as his daughter.
Su He came in with another dish she had cooked and gave him a rude look. "Look at what you're saying. Why should we, as grandparents, bother with that? No matter what the baby is, we'll be happy.
Who can say for sure what's in your belly? You can't just get whatever you want; it all depends on God's will. Whatever God gives us, we should take it and do our best to help raise it. Don't worry about anything else; thinking too much will make you tired.
Bai Yangfan looked at Su He in surprise, thinking that she was a very clear-headed person.
Some things really cannot be forced, and we have to follow God's will. Thinking too long and far ahead will indeed put a burden on our mental well-being.
This is how many mentally ill people come about.
Lu Jingheng went to the kitchen and brought in dishes and chopsticks, serving food to Mr. Lu: "My mother is right, there is no rush. We will take the baby in when it comes. My wife is busy at two hospitals every day, so I'm afraid it won't be that fast.
But it will come eventually, don't be afraid! When I get married, it will come. Now my task is to eat and taste my wife's cooking.
Then he served Bai Yangfan some rice and put it in her hands: "Wife! You eat too!"
