Chapter 416
So Tang Wan specially made shrimp dumplings for Lu Huaijing, using a thick pork bone soup as the base.
It smells so good that it can make your tongue fall off.
Tang Wan also ate this today, but shrimps are not easy to fool. Tang Wan whispered to Lu Huaijing:
"I'm lucky today. I bought some good stuff to make dumplings for you. You're in for a treat."
The shrimps were naturally bought from the supermarket in Space Mall.
"Thank you, daughter-in-law."
Lu Huaijing smelled the fragrance in the air and couldn't help but take a breath.
Even Mr. Xu next door couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
But he consciously looked away, and Tang Wan felt a little embarrassed.
"Master, I'm so..."
"Doctor Tang, no need."
Old Master Xu quickly interrupted Tang Wan and said, "My unfilial sons and grandsons will definitely come to deliver food for money.
What if I eat yours and can’t finish it? I can’t give them a chance to be lazy.”
Knowing that her grandfather was making an excuse, Tang Wan didn't force him. After all, she didn't really want her grandfather to know that there were shrimps in the bowl.
She fed one to Lu Huaijing, and as soon as it went into his mouth, Lu Huaijing's eyes lit up slightly.
Too...too delicious, right? ! !
No wonder his wife said he was blessed with good food.
He remained low-key and didn't exclaim, but Tang Wan had already handed him the spoon.
"I saw that you were able to eat a banana with your left hand this afternoon, so you can eat it yourself."
She placed the aluminum lunch box on the bedside shelf. Although her left hand was the only hand that was injured, it was not difficult for her to use a spoon to scoop out a dumpling.
Although Lu Huaijing enjoys being taken care of by his wife, he also doesn't want her to take care of him while she is hungry.
"Okay, I'll eat it myself, and you should eat it quickly, too, wife."
"Uh-huh."
Tang Wan was also very greedy and even ordered an extra portion of sauce for her dumplings.
She dipped the dumpling in the sauce and took a bite. It was so delicious that she couldn't help but squint her eyes.
When the two were enjoying their meal, the door was finally pushed open and Xu Sangang's wife came in carrying a lunch box.
The girl behind her stood beside the old man's bed and called him "Grandpa" reluctantly.
"Um."
Old Master Xu had a dull look on his face. He knew that his daughter-in-law and granddaughter might not be willing to see him.
"Dad, this is the sweet potato rice I made especially for you, please eat some."
Xu Laosan's wife opened the aluminum lunch box, revealing the very simple sweet potato rice inside.
The rice was brown rice, which looked not very nutritious, but Xu Lao San's wife was always good at making excuses.
"Dad, I heard that eating coarse grains is good for health. This is the condition of our family. Please don't mind it."
"No problem."
Mr. Xu has gone through all kinds of hardships in the past, so this brown rice is nothing to him.
He was eating leisurely when Xu Yuanyuan, the daughter of the third Xu family, suddenly interrupted and said:
"Grandpa, this brown rice is really not tasty, but we can't afford white rice at home.
If Grandpa wants to eat good food, why don’t you give some money to my mom and let her buy it for you?”
This mother and daughter must have thought about how to start the conversation before they came here, as they responded very naturally.
Even Tang Wan, who was eating dumplings, couldn't help but look up at them.
Unfortunately, they miscalculated.
As expected, without even raising his eyelids, Mr. Xu said, "I will eat whatever you eat.
This is your filial piety, how can I waste it? "
"Grandpa, we want to be filial to you, so naturally we want you to eat well."
Xu Yuanyuan is not very old, only about twelve or thirteen years old, but she said this in such a mature manner.
You can tell at first glance that this was taught by an adult.
Mr. Xu ate his meal slowly, "Yuanyuan, you are still young and don't understand.
Grandpa, you have to save this money, don’t waste it, because your brothers will need it when they get married.”
He said this deliberately, and sure enough, the expression of Xu Laosan's wife changed slightly, and then said:
"Dad, you are right. It should be used for the children's marriage.
It’s just that our conditions are not very good now, and we can’t be more filial to you even if we want to…”
"It doesn't matter."
Mr. Xu didn't care much about it, but his throat was sore from the brown rice, and he coughed violently a few times.
Seeing Xu Laosan's wife and Xu Yuanyuan standing there stupidly, Tang Wan speechlessly handed the cup of water from the old man's bedside table to him.
"I'm really annoyed. How can you take care of others like this? You don't understand at all."
She curled her lips and looked at Old Master Xu, who drank a few sips of water before he came to his senses.
Xu Laosan's wife said unhappily, "This is my family's business, why are you worrying about it?"
"that is."
Xu Yuanyuan looked at the plump white dumplings in Tang Wan's aluminum lunch box with sharp eyes and couldn't help swallowing.
"If you really have a kind heart and can't bear to see my grandpa eating so poorly, why don't you give him a few dumplings?
You eat so well, yet you still blame me and my mom for not taking good care of you. You are just eating salty carrots and worrying about nothing."
"Shut up!"
Mr. Xu really didn't like their ungrateful attitude and shouted:
"If you don't want to take care of me, get out. I have more than one son!"
"That's right, sister-in-law, if you can't take care of him, I'll take care of Dad."
The person who came was Miao Qingying. She didn't know how she knew about the ward, but she came over eagerly to see the old man.
When it comes to asking for money, how could they leave out the second brother's family?
"Second sister-in-law, it's my turn to take care of Dad today, why are you here?"
Xu Laosan's wife was dissatisfied, and she and her eldest sister-in-law agreed to hide it from the second son.
Why is it that the second son's wife is so active in coming here, as if she were smelling something with her nose like a dog?
"We are all Daddy's children. Before, it was our second oldest who had been taking care of Daddy.
Now that there are benefits, you want to kick us out, no way! "
Miao Qingying snorted lightly, took out an aluminum lunch box and placed it in front of the old man.
"Dad, this is a big meat bun I bought especially for you, eat it quickly.
When you recover, Ergang and I will come to take you home."
The stingy Miao Qingying was actually willing to buy meat buns for Mr. Xu.
Not to mention Xu Sangang's family, even Tang Wan, an outsider, couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.
Expressing shock!
It really cost a lot of money.
"good."
Mr. Xu was not polite either. He accepted everyone's gifts and ate whatever was given to him.
He didn't eat the dry brown rice, but started eating the meat bun.
Xu Sangang's wife immediately became dissatisfied, and the two sisters-in-law almost started fighting.
Mr. Xu was just calmly eating his food and didn't bother to pay attention to them.
The same went for Lu Huaijing and Tang Wan. After they finished eating, Tang Wan packed up the aluminum lunch boxes.
I don't know what the two sisters-in-law said, but they probably reached a consensus.
When Xu Sangang's wife left, she said to Old Master Xu, "Dad, let Sangang take over the night watch after he gets off work.
He is your son, if you need anything, just let me know. Don’t hesitate to ask.”
The tone of her voice made it seem as if she could summon Xu Sangang.
Mr. Xu glanced at them calmly and said, "I understand."
Don't call your own son. Don't call your own son.
When Tang Wan came back from the bathroom, she saw Xu Sangang sitting beside Old Man Xu's bed, peeling an apple in a flattering manner.
"Dad, my wife is not sensible, please don't bother with her. I will ask her to make something delicious tomorrow.
No one can let you down in this situation, you are my father!"
