When it's time to be high-profile, you have to be high-profile. It can scare away a bunch of annoying flies and save you a lot of trouble. The more people in society look down on others, the more annoying they are.
She couldn't be hit or scolded, as it would affect her mood too much. Chen Hong wasn't afraid of others openly fighting with her; she just hated those guys who were cowardly but loved to gossip and talk behind people's backs.
They fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak; when they see others who are inferior to them, they will do everything they can to trample on and slander them.
When they see others who are better than themselves, they will flatter and fawn over them.
Chen Hong hates this kind of person the most, but unfortunately, there are quite a few people like this in real life.
…………
Chen Hong took out all the bed sheets and duvet covers from the three bedrooms, threw them into the washing machine, and poured in laundry detergent to wash them.
I wiped all the furniture in the living room again and replaced all the sofa covers with a new set.
I checked the time and it was already twelve o'clock. I realized I had to take the kids out to eat first, as the housework couldn't be finished all at once.
The mother and daughter found a restaurant not far from their home, and judging from the diners, the food must be quite good.
The mother and daughter found a window seat in the lobby. Chen Hong wiped the table with a napkin and thought, "Hmm, the hygiene is acceptable."
The waitress quickly came over to serve us; the young girl had a smile on her face, which made us feel very welcome.
Looking at the menu, the prices were moderate to high. If the food was good, they would be regular customers.
The mother and daughter discussed and ordered braised pork intestines, sweet and sour pork, and stir-fried bok choy with mushrooms, as well as seaweed and egg drop soup and two bowls of rice.
The food was served quickly and tasted pretty good. The mother and daughter finished all three dishes and the soup.
It cost 38 yuan, which is quite a good deal! The mother and daughter decided that if they don't feel like cooking in the future, they can come here to change things up, as the Shandong cuisine at this restaurant is pretty good.
After eating and drinking their fill, the mother and daughter strolled around and found a large supermarket nearby.
I first went and bought a bunch of toiletries, such as bath towels, hand towels, slippers, face wash, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, cups, and other toiletries.
She went to the kitchenware section and bought a pressure cooker and a microwave oven. Chen Hong also had her eye on a certain brand of home oven, but this time she couldn't get it.
The mother and daughter bought a small trolley specifically for elderly people to use when shopping. After paying, they carried their bags and trolleys home.
When Yu Yang got home, he plopped down on the sofa and refused to move. "Mom, shopping at the supermarket is more tiring than digging for wild vegetables!"
"Sit down and rest, I'll help you with the work later!"
Chen Hong didn't feel tired from this amount of exercise. However, she couldn't let her son's filial piety go to waste.
She put the things down on the living room floor and plopped down on the floor. "Sigh! Xiao Bao is so filial! If I hadn't taken you with me, I wouldn't have been able to carry all this."
Just to buy all these things, I'll have to make several trips to the supermarket.
They say raising a son is like eating for ten years straight, but my little one is only six years old and already helps Mom with so many chores! Amazing!
Yu Yang smiled sheepishly: "Mom, I only carried the light towels, bath towels, toothbrushes and such. You carried the heavy things. I didn't help much."
"You can't say that. The things you're carrying aren't heavy, but they're bulky and take up a lot of space! Without you, it would be difficult for Mom to bring them home."
Yu Yang felt important because her mother needed her, so she was very proactive in her work in the afternoon and eagerly offered to help with everything.
Chen Hong looked at the bed sheet that had fallen to the ground, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Sigh! That was a huge exaggeration!
What to do? Rinse it again!
Yu Yang felt a little embarrassed when he realized he had made things worse, so he quietly went back to his room to tidy up his desk.
Do your own thing, and if you don't do it well, no one else will either, which is fine!
Chen Hong spent the whole afternoon getting everything settled at home, and hadn't heard a sound from her son for quite some time.
When I opened the door to the second bedroom, lo and behold! Yu Yang was already asleep, slumped over his desk.
Chen Hong quickly made up a bed for her son and carried him to bed to sleep.
Touching the red marks on her son's face, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, tucking him in, adjusting the air conditioner temperature, Chen Hong kissed her son's tender face.
After closing the bedroom door, Chen Hong left. She felt incredibly happy; having such an obedient and sensible son was the greatest fortune of her two lives.
While Yu Yang was asleep, Chen Hong quickly went to the kitchen to rummage through the food.
Chen Hong took out a lot of various grains, fresh vegetables and fruits. She only stopped when she saw that there was enough fruit and vegetables to last for three or four days.
The kitchen is fully stocked with seasonings, which Chen Hong prepared so that her father could cook for himself while he stayed there.
Looking at it now, none of them are opened. The old man hasn't cooked a single meal! He's been eating all the food from street food stalls.
In Jinan, the best fast food is braised pork with rice, which my dad eats at least once a day.
The elderly are reluctant to eat meat; they prefer a bowl of rice, a piece of tofu, a chili sauce, or a spoonful of shredded potatoes. A meal costs no more than five yuan.
He mainly went there for the broth; even though he couldn't eat the meat, he still enjoyed a spoonful of broth with his rice.
Put the ingredients in the kitchen that should be in the refrigerator in the refrigerator, and those that should be in the kitchen cabinets in the kitchen cabinets.
After finishing her work, Chen Hong called her father, but she didn't know which district he was working in. She asked him to come home for dinner that night.
The phone rang for quite a while before someone answered. As soon as it connected, I could hear the noise of power tools on the other end. "Dad, Yu Yang and I have arrived in Jinan. Come home for dinner tonight!"
What? Not coming back? And I still have to feed the workers? Just give them money and let them go out and buy their own food!
Oh! Okay! You didn't drive there? You parked it in the underground parking lot? Didn't we agree that you could drive it?
Are you going home to sleep tonight? What? My brother is picking you up and dropping you off? Going back to his hometown with the workers?
Okay! Come over for dinner whenever you're free. Don't take any more jobs after you finish this one. Can you really handle such strenuous work at your age?
Okay, we'll talk about it later. You can hang up now!
This old man is quite energetic; he leads six or seven people in the village, working hard from dawn till dusk every day.
It seems his health has really improved, and his youthful vigor has returned. If you ask him, he'll just contact clients and supervise the work.
He's over sixty years old, yet he still rolls up his sleeves and does the work himself; his diligence is truly remarkable.
Since Dad isn't coming over tonight, it's easier to cook for just the two of them.
I've been busy all day, so a light and simple dinner will do.
I cooked a pot of millet and mung bean porridge in the pressure cooker. It's perfect for cooling down and relieving summer heat, especially in this season.
I made three chive pancakes, and then made a cold salad of jellyfish skin and cucumber, and spicy and sour kelp strips.
The seafood she brought herself was the freshest and tasted the best. At lunchtime, she noticed that other customers at the restaurant were ordering freshwater fish, and there wasn't much fresh seafood available.
It seems she'll have to take some time to visit a few of the city's large seafood markets. In the future, when there are guests at home, she'll bring seafood, but she'll at least have to bring the kinds available at the market.
We must not let our guard down and make a mistake!
A peaceful and happy life is her ultimate dream, and no one can destroy it, including herself.
Chen Hong paced around the room, feeling like she'd forgotten something. What could it be? She felt it was quite important!
