After finally seeing the true face of Old Lady Shen, Zhang Xiu Lan almost didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.
Fortunately, she has lived for so many years and is so old now, so she has not done anything inappropriate like young people.
Zhang Xiulan stepped forward and said, "The meal is ready. Let's all go in. It's really cold outside!"
Shen Hui supported Mr. Shen, and Zhang Xiulan also lent a hand.
Old Mrs. Shen followed behind.
When Mr. Shen entered the courtyard, his colleagues were observing the surrounding environment.
There is a pomegranate tree at the entrance to the yard, and some small potted plants are placed around the tree.
Because it is winter, there is no green at all.
The yard was very clean, without any signs of weeds growing.
There is a small path in front of me, leading directly to the main house.
There are several other houses nearby, forming a surrounding pattern.
The yard is large and the layout is pretty good.
Entering the main house, you will see the living room.
In the center of the living room, there is a TV, and some tables, chairs, and stools.
The layout of the entire room is warm and simple, and the furniture is all wooden, giving it a sense of age.
Mr. Shen looked very comfortable.
Old Mrs. Shen didn't say anything, but she looked quite satisfied.
When I get older, I like things that are more elegant and unique, unlike young people who like imported leather sofas, imported cabinets, and other foreign imported products.
Zhang Xiu Lan waited until Mr. Shen sat down, then said hello to Mrs. Shen and went to the kitchen alone.
In the kitchen, the dishes for lunch have been cooked.
The soup was cooked just right.
Zhang Xiulan had just taken the dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard when Shen Hui came in.
"Is the meal ready?" he asked.
"Yes! Bring the food out and you can eat."
"I'll do it, you take a rest." Shen Hui said.
"No, let's do it together. I've cooked eight dishes, and one person has to make eight trips. If we work together, it'll be half the effort."
When Zhang Xiulan said half of it was left, Shen Hui felt warm in his heart.
Following Zhang Xiu Lan, they brought the meals to the table in the living room one by one.
If they didn't remember clearly that Chinese New Year was tomorrow, Mr. and Mrs. Shen would have thought that this lunch was the reunion dinner.
Zhang Xiulan stewed an old hen and added a small root of ginseng root from the ginseng that Li Jinfeng gave her.
She asked Xiaobao before stewing the soup.
Mr. Shen is in poor health, and she is afraid that he won’t be able to take the supplements.
Fortunately, Xiaobao said that it is okay to make some ginseng chicken soup, but in moderation.
Zhang Xiulan restrained herself and took a small root.
In addition to old hens, there is also steamed fish suitable for the elderly. The meat is chopped into puree and fried with bamboo shoots.
The dishes are rich and all seem to be prepared with great care.
Mr. Shen looked at the table full of dishes and said to Zhang Xiulan, "Xiulan, you've worked hard!"
"Dad, it's not hard for me. I just cook. It's nothing." Zhang Xiu Lan said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Shen also wanted to speak, but she didn't know where to start.
"Mom, what do you like to eat? We have a lot of dishes prepared at home. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, I will cook a few dishes you like."
Zhang Xiu Lan took the initiative to call her mother, and it would be a lie for Old Mrs. Shen to say that she was not touched.
"I...there's nothing I don't like. Are you the only one at home?" said Old Mrs. Shen.
"Ah?" Zhang Xiu Lan didn't understand what Mrs. Shen meant.
"I mean, where is Jinfeng?" asked Old Mrs. Shen.
"Jinfeng is spending the New Year with her grandfather Lu. She's not at home."
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she felt a little disappointed.
She still wanted to see her granddaughter. She had said such unpleasant things before, so she had to explain to her.
