Chapter 122 Pickled Fish



"Okay, I'm going to eat a lot of fish tonight. Let it not dare to scare me." Goudan was really scared. When he heard that Chen Yitang wanted to vent his anger, he immediately said excitedly.

Chen Yitang opened the door and the family entered the house.

Arriving in the kitchen, Chen Yitang opened the pickled cabbage jar and took out the pickled cabbage from it. He looked at Zeng Wenjuan and said with a smile, "This pickled cabbage is all grown by your mother herself, and she pickled it herself. This pickled cabbage is our family's unique secret recipe. Only pickled cabbage in this way can be sour and crispy."

"Jianguo! When spring comes and we grow vegetables, come over and I'll teach you how to make them. A man is the head of the family, so he should be able to make money outside and do all the big and small things at home. Then you will understand the hardship that Wenjuan goes through in taking care of the family."

"Grandpa, I want to learn it too. When I learn it, I can help mom and dad." Before Zhao Jianguo even opened his mouth, Goudan said excitedly.

Chen Yitang looked at Goudan and smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, Goudan is really filial. He knows how to help his parents at such a young age. Grandpa will make you pickled fish tonight. This fish head is big too. How about making you a chopped pepper fish head? Goudan."

"Okay, then grandpa, grandma, dad and mom will eat fish heads, and Goudan will eat chopped peppers. Chopped peppers are not meat." Goudan said naively.

“Hahahaha…” The adults burst into laughter.

Chen Yitang handled the fish skillfully. Goudan squatted beside him and watched, saying from time to time: "Wow! Grandpa is so amazing! He can cut the fish meat so thin that I can even see Grandpa through the fish meat."

"If you want the sauerkraut fish to taste good, the first point is to cut the fish meat into pieces that are translucent, and the second point is to marinate the sauerkraut well." Chen Yintang looked at Goudan watching beside him before he spoke about the key points of cooking fish.

"Grandpa, you are so awesome! You know so much." Goudan praised him like a humanoid robot, but Chen Yintang still couldn't stop grinning when he heard it.

Zeng Wenjuan and Zhao Jianguo were sitting nearby washing vegetables. After hearing the interaction between Chen Yitang and Goudan, Zeng Wenjuan approached Zhao Jianguo and said, "This Goudan really made his grandfather stunned."

"Old people are the closest to them, and you've been missing for so many years. When they see Goudan now, it's just like seeing you as a child. I'm afraid that my parents will spoil Goudan." Zhao Jianguo turned sideways and said to Zeng Wenjuan.

Zeng Wenjuan felt the same way when she heard the rest of the story. She said, "I have the same idea. Fortunately, Goudan doesn't come to his grandparents' house very often."

"That means I love you even more. I think we should think of a way to change this situation." Zhao Jianguo said cunningly.

Zeng Wenjuan was puzzled: "Is there any way? Every time my parents tell me, they don't listen. They have been looking for me for so many years. Besides, there is nothing we can do as parents to stop Goudan from being nice to them."

"Then let's have two more children as soon as possible, and then let our parents help take care of them. They won't have so much energy." Zhao Jianguo raised his eyebrows and said ambiguously.

Zeng Wenjuan looked towards Chen Yitang with a guilty conscience. Seeing that they did not react, she patted Zhao Jianguo on the shoulder and said, "You are such a grown-up, but you still don't behave properly outside."

"She's my own wife, there's nothing I can't tell her about." Zhao Jianguo was thick-skinned and not afraid at all.

"Shut up, your leg injury hasn't healed yet! Don't do anything rash!" Zeng Wenjuan was afraid that Zhao Jianguo would think too much and said it quickly.

Zhao Jianguo raised his eyebrows smugly: "You mean, just wait until my leg injury heals? Then we can have two children in three years. Goudan will be too lonely alone."

"Shut up! We're still at my parents' house!" Zeng Wenjuan said shyly, her face flushed. It wasn't because she was shy, but because she was scared. She was afraid that Chen Yitang might hear it, which would be so embarrassing!

When Zeng Yike came back from get off work, the meal was ready. Chen Yitang didn't cook much in the morning, so he just cooked half a pot of noodles.

"If you want noodles, eat noodles. If you want rice, eat rice!" Chen Yintang said as he came out of the kitchen with the last pot of noodles.

"I want to try what it tastes like when I eat noodles and rice together. Is that okay?" Goudan came up with a bold idea.

"Of course you can. Grandma likes to eat this way. Goudan really is grandma's grandson. He eats the same way as grandma!" Zeng Yike said as she held Goudan in her arms.

"Grandma, I want to sit on the bench to eat." Goudan struggled slightly, but couldn't get free, so he spoke.

"Grandma will hold you while you eat! That way you only need to chew, how convenient!" Zeng Yike coaxed.

Goudan still shook his head: "Mom said that you should do your own things. Goudan can eat by himself. Goudan wants to eat by himself."

"Okay, then grandma will help you mix the rice and noodles and then put you back on the chair." Zeng Yike saw that Goudan really didn't want to be held by others, so he had no choice but to agree.

Chen Yitang picked up some fish meat for Goudan with a pair of clean chopsticks: "Come here, grandpa has picked out all the fish bones for you, so be careful when you eat! There may be small bones that grandpa has not noticed."

"I got it. Thank you grandpa, thank you grandma." Goudan was very happy. This was much better than staying at the Zhao family. There were delicious food, and grandpa and grandma both liked him very much.

If only he had lived with his grandparents since he was born, he would be happier than he is now.

Seeing that Goudan was being taken care of by his grandparents, Zhao Jianguo helped Zeng Wenjuan pick up the food, cleaned out the fish bones, and occasionally picked up some sauerkraut for Zeng Wenjuan with his chopsticks.

"This pickled fish made by my dad tastes really good. It's just right for this cold day. It warms me up."

"It's really delicious. You eat it yourself. I will pick up some food myself if I want." Zeng Wenjuan said after helping Zhao Jianguo pick up a piece of food with chopsticks.

Zhao Jianguo ate it with a smile, and the couple chatted with each other as if they were alone.

"Jianguo's leg is almost healed, right? Do you want to remove the scar? Or keep it?" After seeing Goudan being snatched away by Zeng Yike, Chen Yintang looked at Zhao Jianguo and asked.

Zhao Jianguo was originally looking for fish bubbles for Zeng Wenjuan, but after hearing what Chen Yitang said, he immediately replied: "Remove it! This scar is quite long and looks scary."

"Since you put it that way, I will make you a freckle cream. I'll bring it to you tomorrow. Use it morning and night. When your leg injury is healed, it will be covered by your leg hair. As long as no one is pulling up your legs to look at it, no one will be able to see it." Chen Yitang said after hearing what Zhao Jianguo said.

"Thank you, Dad. Don't bother sending it. I'll come to my house tomorrow morning to pick it up." Zhao Jianguo didn't have the nerve to let Chen Yitang send him something! As a junior and a son-in-law, this was not in accordance with the rules.
