"How does it taste?" Li Shuping walked over to Gu Zhenyuan's table, carrying a plate of emerald cabbage dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, and asked.
Gu Zhenyuan put down his chopsticks and reached out to take the dumplings. "It tastes great."
Li Shuping said with a smile: "As long as you enjoy the food, thank you for coming all the way here to support us."
"You, you are Shuping?" Old Mrs. Yu turned her head and looked at Li Shuping and asked.
Li Shuping was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Yes, I am Li Shuping, and you are Old Lady Yu, right? Are you feeling well?"
But this old lady had such kind eyes and a kind face that she felt extremely familiar when she looked at her, as if she had known her for a lifetime.
Old Mrs. Yu nodded. "It's all good, thanks to the dumplings you made."
"Tell me, I don't know why, but I felt very close to you as soon as I saw you," said Old Mrs. Yu with a smile.
If Wanxing hadn't told her that although Shuping was also an orphan, she didn't have a red butterfly birthmark on her back, she would have doubted whether this girl was her Shushu.
Li Shuping's eyes curved, "When I saw you, I felt very close to you. Maybe we will be a family in this life."
Mother Gu smiled and said, "This is what we call hitting it off at first sight."
"Shuping." At this time, Mrs. Wang and her family came.
"Hey." Li Shuping responded, "You guys eat, I'll go and greet the guests first. Call me if you need anything."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
"Sister Wang, come here, quickly, come and sit over here." Li Shuping went over and led Mother Wang and her family to the empty table.
"Shuping." Wang's mother held Li Shuping's hand and said as they walked, looking at the dumpling shop, "Your dumpling shop is really well run. It's no worse than a state-owned restaurant."
It’s only the first day of opening and the store is almost full.
"I'm fine, right? How's Sister Zhao's daughter? Is she born?" Li Shuping asked.
Mother Wang said, "Hi," and said, "Don't mention it."
"What? What happened?" Li Shuping looked nervous.
Mother Wang: "It almost happened, luckily Wenjuan listened to you and went back to look after Xiaoyan. You don't know that He Wenguang's family didn't plan to hire a midwife, so let He Wenguang's mother deliver Xiaoyan."
"..." Li Shuping was speechless. No wonder something bad happened to Xiaoyan in her life. It was actually He Wenguang's mother who delivered her.
"Isn't this nonsense?"
"Isn't it? Wenjuan insisted that He Wenguang invite a midwife. The midwife said that the fetus was in an abnormal position and that it would be difficult to deliver and that she had to send the baby to the hospital. He Wenguang listened to her and refused to go."
“Later we sent her to the hospital, and the doctor said she was in a transverse position and needed a caesarean section, but He Wenguang’s mother disagreed. She said she wouldn’t pay for a caesarean section, so Wenjuan begged the doctor to do the surgery, and let the old folks pay for it.” Mother Wang said as she sat down on the stool.
"Wenjuan is still in the hospital taking care of Xiaoyan. She said she will have to stay in the hospital for a week."
Li Shuping breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Sister Zhao went back, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
"This is all thanks to you." Mother Wang patted her arm.
If she hadn't said those words, Wenjuan wouldn't have gone back.
"Look at what dumplings you want to eat? I'll bring you some cold dishes."
Zhao Wu has sharp eyes. He looks at the menu on the blackboard and reports the menu to his family.
Zhao Wen: "How about two plates of pork filling and one plate of egg filling?"
Xiao Wu has a big appetite, and two plates are not enough to eat. However, the two children have small appetites, and if they can't finish one plate, they can still eat the children's ones.
"OK."
Lao Gu knew his two sons' appetites. Since they were all out to eat, they would definitely not be stingy and would make sure they were well fed.
Li Shuping asked: "What cold dishes would you like to eat?"
Wang's mother: "Let's have some spinach vermicelli. My kids love it."
"Wait a moment."
"Why are you staring at Comrade Li instead of eating your dumplings?"
Seeing that his wife's eyes had been following Li Shuping and were now following her into the kitchen, Mr. Li frowned and asked.
Old Mrs. Yu blinked her eyes. "I don't know what's going on. I just want to look at her. I can't see enough."
Gu Zhenyuan raised his eyes. Aunt Yu and Li Shuping had no relatives, so how could she have such feelings for her?
Mother Gu was also startled for a moment, then she joked, "Since you like Shuping so much, why not just recognize her as your goddaughter?"
Hearing this, Old Lady Yu retracted her gaze and shook her head, "That still counts."
She already felt sorry enough for Shushu by adopting Yunshu as her daughter, so why would she adopt another goddaughter?
When Lao Li brought Li Yunshu back to her for raising, she didn't want to raise her. But Lao Li brought the child back and told outsiders that he adopted the child, and the child was even Lao Li's subordinate.
If she said she would not support him, she was afraid that people would accuse Lao Li of going back on his word, and the people under him would be disappointed, so she had no choice but to support him.
Li Yunshu is a sensible and filial child, and I have developed some affection for her as I have raised her.
But every time she treated Li Yunshu well like a mother, she would always feel sorry for her Shushu.
Her Shushu doesn't know where she is suffering, but she is being nice to other people's daughters.
Qin Ye returned to the store with the collected goods, and saw that the store was already full of people. He quickly moved the goods into the kitchen, went to the backyard to wash his hands and face, and took on the job of serving dishes.
Li Shuping cooked dumplings, Qin Rong made soup and served cold dishes, Lin Xiaobo greeted customers and took orders, and Qin Ye served the dishes. The four of them were busy in an orderly manner.
Gu Zhenyuan and his friends ordered a few more dumplings after eating. When they were about to leave, Li Shuping came out of the kitchen and sent them to the door.
When Lin Jianshe and Liu Qin were walking home hand in hand, they met the Liu family going out.
"Hey, Uncle Liu, where are you all going? Are you going to a restaurant?"
Liu's wife said, "We are just going to a restaurant. Your mom, no, she is not your mom anymore. Your Aunt Li's dumpling shop is opening, and we are going to support her."
"..." Lin Jianshe's eyes twitched.
Liu Qin frowned, the old lady's shop opened.
When Lin Jianshe and Liu Qin returned home, Lin Guodong was sitting on a reclining chair smoking, and the smell of food came from the kitchen.
Not seeing Lin Yongnian, they didn't ask and went straight back to their little room.
The way they get along with Zhang Jiao at home these past two days is the same. When they see each other, they treat each other as air.
Lin Yongnian lay in bed since he got home, and only went out to eat when someone called for dinner, looking listless.
Seeing Lin Jianshe and Liu Qin at the dinner table, he snorted, "I thought you two weren't home yet! You knew I was discharged from the hospital, but you didn't even come in to see me after get off work and ask how your father is doing?"
Lin Jianshe: “…”
I seriously suspect that Lao Lin is picking on me because I didn't go to the hospital to take care of you and beat up your brother!
"Dad, please don't find fault with me. We didn't go in because we didn't want to disturb your rest."
Lin Yongnian snorted. What do you mean by not wanting to disturb your rest? It's obvious that you two are unfilial.
