"Hello."
"Is it Wanzhen?"
"Dad, it's 놖."
"Please ask Bo Wen to answer the phone."
"OK."
Su Wanzhen turned her head and said, "Bo Wen, it's Dad's call."
Li Bowen: Dad called me so late at night, maybe something happened at home.
Li Bowen walked quickly to the phone and took the receiver from his wife.
"Dad, this is Bo Wen..."
Su Wanzhen looked at her husband, very curious to know why the old man called so late at night. What was the matter?
"Bo Wen, Shu Shu has been found!"
"Dad, what did you say? Are you telling the truth?"
Li Boyan, who was usually calm and composed and never showed his emotions, was shocked and excited, and his hand holding the microphone was shaking.
"Of course it's true. Boyan and Zhenyuan went with us to recognize the person, how could it be false? Your sister has suffered a lot over the years!"
"We are planning to hold a family reunion party. Can you come back when you are free?"
Li Bowen frowned, "Ask the secretary to check the recent schedule and arrange a time to go home as soon as possible."
Su Wanzhen frowned slightly. What did her father-in-law say? Not only was her usually calm father-in-law so excited, but he also had to arrange a time to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
After hanging up the phone, Su Wanzhen looked at her husband's face, which was a little red due to excitement, and asked, "What happened?"
Li Bowen pursed his lips and took a deep breath, his voice trembling, "I found Shushu."
The sister who was lost for forty years was finally found!
Su Wanzhen's eyes widened in disbelief, "Really?"
As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family, Su Wanzhen has always known that there is a missing sister in the family. It is an indelible pain in the hearts of everyone in the Li family, and they have never given up the search for it for so many years.
Whenever the husband thought of his sister, he would become silent and smoke one cigarette after another.
Now that the little sister who had been lost for forty years had finally been found, this was a heaven-sent joyous event for the Li family.
"Really." Li Boyan nodded, "Found it. After so many years, Shushu finally found it."
"That's great." Su Wanzhen was sincerely happy.
Li Boyan: "Dad said he would hold a family reunion banquet and asked us to take some time to go back."
"Go back, you have to go back! Zhan Xiang has just finished his exams and will be back from school tomorrow."
For something like this, their Fang family must go back.
"But do you have time?" Su Wanzhen asked.
He is at his busiest right now.
Li Boyan thought for a moment and said, "When Zhan Xiang comes back from school, you can take him back to Beijing first, finish the work at hand, and try to get back before the family recognition banquet."
Su Wanzhen nodded and said yes.
She will call back tomorrow during the day to ask her sister-in-law who are the people in her family so that she can prepare gifts.
Her sister-in-law had been missing for so many years, and as the sister-in-law, she was meeting her for the first time, so of course she had to prepare a gift.
My sister-in-law is now in her forties and must have a husband and children. Of course, gifts for my sister and children are also indispensable.
Although the nanny cleaned up two rooms, Li Shuping still slept with Old Mrs. Yu at night.
Old Mrs. Yu let her husband sleep alone, hugged her buckwheat pillow, and asked her daughter to sleep with her.
Li Zhenzhen was afraid that her little cousin would not be used to it, so she invited Lin Xiao냫 to sleep with her. Lin Xiao냫 readily agreed, and the cousins chatted for a long time before going to bed.
Before going to bed, Old Lady Yu also talked a lot with Li Shuping, until she found that her daughter could not hold on and fell asleep, and then she stopped.
The daughter she had been thinking about all night was finally found, sleeping next to her. However, Old Mrs. Yu did not sleep well that night. She was always worried that she was dreaming, and when she woke up, her daughter was gone.
So every time when I was about to fall asleep, I would suddenly wake up to see if my daughter was still beside me. I repeated this many times until I fell asleep at four or five in the morning.
Li Shuping was awakened by the birds. The environment here is good and there are many birds.
It was still dark outside, but Li Shuping, whose biological clock was fixed, was no longer sleepy.
She wanted to get up, but found that the old lady was asleep and still holding her hand!
He held her tightly, as if he was afraid she would run away.
In order not to wake her up, Li Shuping gently pushed away the old lady's fingers that were holding her wrist and got out of bed quietly.
Li Shuping lives in this room, which has an independent bathroom and a toilet.
This was the first time for Li Shuping to use a toilet in her two lifetimes. Although she was not used to sitting down to poop, she was not unable to defecate. It was much more comfortable than pooping in a public toilet.
No matter if you live in the family compound of a machinery factory or in the backyard of a shop, there is no independent bathroom in your home. You have to go to the public toilet to urinate and the public bathhouse to take a shower.
At night, I would put a potty with a lid in the room. If I peed or defecated, I would have to go to the public toilet to empty and wash the potty the next day. It was quite troublesome.
After washing up and getting herself ready, Li Shuping went downstairs.
It seemed that the other people in the house were not awake yet, but the light in the kitchen was on, which meant Sister Wang was probably preparing breakfast.
Li Shuping walked into the kitchen and Sister Wang had just put the rice into the casserole.
"Morning, Sister Wang."
Sister Wang trembled with fear, turned to face Li Shuping, and raised the corners of her mouth somewhat unnaturally, "Morning, Miss Shuping."
Li Shuping smiled and waved her hands, "Don't call me Miss 놖, just call me 놖 Shuping."
She wasn't used to being called that.
Sister Wang breathed a sigh of relief, "Shuping, why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I'm used to it. I usually get up at this time. What do you want to eat in the morning?" Li Shuping asked.
Sister Wang said, "We had yam porridge and steamed buns in the morning. The noodles were prepared last night."
"Is the filling ready?"
"Not yet. The rice has just been put into the pot and I'm preparing to mince the meat."
Li Shuping: "Let me do it with you."
Sister Wang: "How can that be possible? I can get it done. I will make sure you guys can have dinner on time at 7 o'clock."
The Li family’s breakfast time is seven o’clock.
"It's alright. I'm free anyway."
Sister Wang: “…”
Sister Wang is responsible for mincing the meat, while Li Shuping is responsible for chopping ingredients such as onions, ginger, and garlic.
After the meat filling was minced, Li Shuping was responsible for mixing the filling. Sister Wang took out the dough that she had prepared last night, kneaded it on the chopping board, expelled the air, rolled it into long strips, and then pinched it into small dough pieces.
Li Shuping prepared the filling, pressed the dough into a pancake, and then stretched it without using a rolling pin to roll the dough. She just started to wrap it up.
She has very quick hands and can make one in just over ten seconds. Each bun has the standard eighteen folds.
"Shuping, I didn't expect that you not only make good dumplings, but also make such good buns. The filling you made smells much better than the one you made before." Sister Wang said, pinching the dough.
She originally thought that Li Shuping, now the eldest daughter of the Li family, would be arrogant and difficult to get along with. She was also worried that there would be another aunt who would order her, the nanny, around in circles. However, the facts proved that her worries were unnecessary.
Not only did he not put on airs, he even helped her prepare breakfast.
She is much easier to get along with than Li Yunshu, who was adopted by others. She doesn’t like to boss people around like her.
"It's okay." Li Shuping said with a smile.
These steamed buns are similar to dumplings, both require kneading dough, mixing stuffing and wrapping them.
Lin Guodong loves to eat buns, and Li Shuping used to make them a lot. The more she made, the better she became.
