"Hello brother, my name is Guan Xiaojiang. My father's surname is Guan and my mother's surname is Jiang, so my name is Guan Xiaojiang."
Your name is Yu Yang, so is your father's surname Yu and your mother's surname Yang?
Guan Xiaojiang was a chubby boy with fair skin. He had a round face and a pair of big, round eyes that looked like black grapes. He was very pleasing to the eye.
Yu Yang smiled and shook his head: "The Yang in my name is the ocean, not the Yang in my surname."
I chose this name because my family lives by the sea, and my mother said that when I grow up, my heart should be as vast as the ocean!
Guan Xiaojiang moved closer to Yu Yang and asked, "Brother, you used to live by the sea? Was the sea big? Were there fish in it?"
"Can we go boating? Can we swim? Your home is so wonderful! I've never seen the ocean before!"
Yu Yang looked at Guan Xiaojiang with pity in his eyes, "You're so pitiful, you've never even seen the ocean!"
Let me tell you, the ocean is so vast, you can't see the end of it. The seawater is so blue, even bluer than the sky in Jinan.
There are lots of fish in the sea, and they're all delicious! Not only fish, but also crabs, prawns, sea cucumbers, and clams…
Anyway, there are so many delicious things to eat! By the way, have you ever seen the ocean on TV? Our ocean is even more beautiful and bigger than what's shown on TV.
As they were talking, the elevator arrived at their respective floors. The four of them got out of the elevator together, and Yu Yang and Guan Xiaojiang said goodbye.
Guan Xiaojiang was still not satisfied; he hadn't had enough of the topic of the sea!
Jiang Mingyue said goodbye to Chen Hong with her son in tow, then went home without looking back.
"What's wrong with you? Do you still want to go to Yu Yang's house with him?"
Hey kid, Yu Yang has to do homework, unlike you kindergarteners who don't have any homework at all.
We just moved here and aren't familiar with Yu Yang's family yet, so we can't just casually visit their homes.
Guan Xiaojiang was unhappy. "Mom, when can I go play with Brother Yu Yang?"
This new house is no good. I don't have any good friends anymore, and nobody plays with me. I don't want to live here anymore; I want to go back to my old house.
Jiang Mingyue quickly coaxed him: "Son, this place is great. The new house is clean and spacious, and you even have your own room."
I'll take you to kindergarten tomorrow. There are lots of kids there, all new neighbors from around here.
In a month at most, you will have many, many new friends, and when you start elementary school next year, you will have even more new classmates.
See, if we hadn't moved to our new house, you wouldn't have met Brother Yu Yang, who lives by the sea.
"You should be more polite in the future and play well with Brother Yu Yang. Brother Yu Yang is also a polite and good boy, and you will definitely become good friends."
Guan Xiaojiang was overjoyed to hear that he could become good friends with Brother Yu Yang.
"Mom, why don't we live by the sea? You see in cartoons that there are starfish, crabs, and lobsters in the ocean."
"Mom, I want to eat lobster, I want to eat crab, and I want to eat squid!"
"Oh dear! You little devil, where did you get this impulsive temper from? If you talk about the ocean, you'll eat seafood! But if you talk about the blue sky, you'll eat peaches of immortality!"
It's too late now, and Mom can't find anywhere to buy it. I'll go to the seafood market tomorrow and buy it for you, so you can have it for lunch tomorrow, okay?
Guan Xiaojiang happily agreed and went back to her room to play with her toys.
Jiang Mingyue shook her head and went to the kitchen to cook.
Behind two doors facing each other, two housewives were busy preparing dinner for their families. This floor had a different kind of lively atmosphere.
Tonight, Chen Hong and her son ate dumplings filled with shepherd's purse and pork.
Chen Hong used a small bamboo steamer basket to cook two large plates of dumplings.
Dipped in minced garlic and balsamic vinegar, the mother and daughter ate quite a lot. After finishing the dumplings, they drank a bowl of dumpling soup to fill their stomachs, which made them feel more comfortable.
"Son, drink this small bowl of dumpling soup later. As the saying goes, the original soup helps digest the original food! It's most comforting to drink some dumpling soup after eating the dumplings!"
Yu Yang obediently drank the soup, "Mom, these shepherd's purse dumplings are so delicious!"
No wonder Grandpa Village Chief always says: "Nothing is more comfortable than lying down, and nothing tastes better than dumplings!"
Mom, you don't need to cook any other dishes, I won't get tired of just eating dumplings!
"When we go back to our hometown for the holidays, let's make mackerel dumplings again. I feel like I've developed a seafood stomach; I'm craving mackerel dumplings again!"
As Chen Hong cleared away the dishes, she said, "It's not difficult at all. Mom goes to the seafood market to buy fresh mackerel whenever she has free time."
Want some mackerel dumplings? That's easy. You grew up in Rongcheng and are used to the food of fishing villages, so it's no big deal.
You should know that many people are allergic to seafood and can't even eat it if they want to! It's great that we have the chance to enjoy it!
You don't have allergies, do you know how much trouble you've saved your mom?
As long as the ingredients are nutritious and taste good, Mom can cook it for you, so you don't need to worry too much.
After finishing the dumpling soup in two gulps, Yu Yang helped his mother wipe the table. "Mom, why do some people have seafood allergies?"
There are so many delicious things in the sea, it would be such a waste not to eat them!
Chen Hong laughed, "It is a bit of a pity, but there is no other way for the sake of life safety! You don't know, people with allergies have too many allergens."
Some people are allergic to pollen and dust, some to odors, some to milk and eggs, and some to peanuts!
Some people don't even know what foods they are allergic to; they can develop allergies simply by not paying attention to their diet.
Therefore, people with allergies need to be extra careful about what they eat. They can only eat the foods they usually eat, and they should not try other rare or uncommon foods.
