Chapter 98 Mid-Autumn Festival
After returning home, Suning fiddled with the dishes carelessly. The plates of delicious pastries on the table did not bring her a single bit of sweetness.
The pig's trotter soup, drunken duck and lotus root and bone soup had already been stewed until soft. After sprinkling with chopped green onions, they were all served into a large bowl one after another.
The side dishes are washed, cut and stir-fried quickly. In a short while, the fried leeks and river shrimps, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and stir-fried shredded vegetables are all served on the table.
Put white rice in a small bowl in front of the empty seat, and then place chopsticks on each seat.
According to their preferences, Suning put dishes in each bowl, and finally took out a jar of daughter's red wine brewed by his mother from the living room, opened the seal and poured it into the small wine glasses one by one.
"Grandpa, grandma, mom, come and try Ning'er's cooking. If you like it, remember to tell me in your dreams and I'll make it for you again."
Standing quietly in front of his seat, his eyes were filled with dark thoughts. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and his vision gradually became blurred.
He sniffed, curved the corners of his mouth and tried to raise a bright smile, then raised the glass in his hand and continued.
"This glass of wine is for grandpa and grandma. We are finally reunited after so much talk. I hope you two, young and old, will be very happy because of your concern!"
"This is a toast to mom. My daughter, I have grown up and you can see that everything about me is good. I'm just sorry that the two people you once said you loved the most can no longer love each other as you wished."
"One last drink, I wish our whole family a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
After pouring three consecutive glasses of toast from left to right on the ground, she slowly sat down.
"Woof woof~"
"I'm fine. Little Circle, wait a little longer. We can start eating after the incense is burned and Grandpa and the others have finished eating."
"Woof~"
"good!"
…
Qinghe Lane, Beijing City.
Fu Xinguo, who had just finished a case and had not been home for many days, planned to take advantage of this rare free time to spend a good reunion festival with his family.
After changing into plain clothes, he hurried back from the station and finally arrived before lunch.
Just as I was about to enter the door, I heard the clear ring of the phone behind me, and a familiar greeting came.
"Wait a minute!"
"Oh, it's you, Oda!"
"Hehehe, there just happened to be a package for your family, so I brought it over for Hu Yi on my way home for the holidays!"
Oda, who was carrying a military green bag from the post office, got off the bicycle and explained with a smile. He deftly untied the package tied to the back seat and handed it to him along with the registration form in the bag.
After thanking Fu Xinguo and signing the document, she pushed open the door and walked into the yard with her things in her arms, "Dad, my wife, I'm back!"
“…”
In response to him, the laughter in the room immediately turned into golden silence.
Fu Xinguo, who was used to being treated coldly, took a deep breath and did not rush in to explain as usual. Instead, he stood there, cleared his throat and continued shouting.
"Hey, a package from Xiangnan Ancient City, Ningning..."
"Bang!"
"Is this something Sister Ningning sent?!"
"Ah, Sister Ningning finally wrote me back?"
There was a sudden commotion in the house, and Fu Ying and her brother came running in with happy faces.
Li Hehua happily put down her chopsticks and was about to follow the children out to take a look, when she saw the old man put down his chopsticks with a snap and yelled with a red face, "You big bastard, why don't you get out of here right now!"
"Hey, hey, Dad, I'm coming right away!"
I haven't been scolded by the old man for a few days and I miss him.
Fu Xinguo was no longer as serious as he was at the police station. He grinned, nimbly dodged the two little claws, and happily went into the house.
"father…"
"Go away! Looking at your face makes me feel sorry for your dead mother!"
No? What does that mean?
Fu Xinguo looked at his old father in shock: As the saying goes, a son resembles his mother, but the more he looks like you, can you blame me?
The son doesn't think his father is ugly, but now he is disgusted with himself?
"Put your things down and get out of here."
"Okay, okay."
It’s just pretending to be a grandson. As long as the old man is happy, I can call him grandpa!
At worst, we can just ask Yingying and Tingzi, their brother and sister, to change their words!
Fu Xinguo muttered to himself and gently placed the package in his hand on the empty space in front of him.
There was no time to discipline this filial son, so Grandpa Fu pursed his lips but his eyes were full of joy as he opened the bag of wrapped hemp snakes neatly.
Inside were four or five small wooden boxes of the same style neatly stacked together, two glass bottles for canning, and two letters.
He handed the envelope with the words "Ying Ying" written on it to his granddaughter who was staring at him eagerly, and opened the letter addressed to herself.
I couldn't help but smile lovingly as I read, and I couldn't bear to put it down until I had finished the two pages.
"Dad, what did Ningning say? Is everything okay over there? Did you receive the things I sent last time?"
Fu Chenggong answered his daughter-in-law's question without hesitation, "The girl said that she is doing well there. She has completed several tasks and was rated as advanced. She said she liked the hot sauce you sent her last time very much."
"That's good. That's good."
"Our Ningning is excellent in every aspect. She has only been working in the factory for a short time and has already been selected as an advanced worker!"
Li Hehua put aside her worries and showed genuine joy, "If she likes it, there are still a few bottles left at home. I will mail them all to her tomorrow."
"Hahahaha, isn't it? Don't you see who it is... Bah, you're just picking up a bargain, old Su!"
Humph, even if he is from Su Ting's Su family, he is still half of their Fu family!
The old man comforted himself instantly after thinking this, raised his head proudly, and pointed at the remaining things in the package with his hand.
"The wooden box contains the Mid-Autumn Festival gift from Ning, and the canned fruit contains Yingying..."
"I know, I saw the letter written by Sister Ningning. It's the spicy shredded pork and mushroom chicken sauce that I wanted to eat last time!"
Fu Ying was delighted after reading the letter. She packed the letter paper again with great care. When she saw the two bottles full of food in the package, her eyes became moist.
She just said it casually in the letter, but Sister Ningning really took it to heart, made it and mailed it to her.
"How can you be so ignorant? Ningning only earns 28 yuan a month working outside and needs to spend money on everything. Why are you still begging for money?"
"I...I just saw Sister Ningning saying last time that she learned a lot of dishes and that a little kid named Xiaoqiu loved the sauce she made, so I just said that..."
As she spoke, Fu Ying lowered her head, and two big tears fell from her red eyes that had been filled with repression.
It’s not because I feel wronged by what my mother said, but because I miss her.
I grew up following Sister Ningning, and this is the first time we have been separated for so long. We haven’t seen each other for more than a month, almost two months!
"Alright, alright, it's not time to talk about children during a big festival. Lotus, take a look at this box. There is a gift that Ningning made for you."
It is true that he loves Ningning, but he also loves his granddaughter.
Fu Chenggong interrupted his daughter-in-law and turned the topic back to the package. "Ning said she had just learned the craft and even went to the most famous temple over there to have it blessed by a master."
Regardless of whether it looks good or not, the effort put into it alone makes one feel warm.
"I have a share, too?"
"Oh, if you don't want it, you can give it to me."
"Who said I don't care?"
Fu Chenggong spat at his son out of habit and distributed the boxes to everyone as the letter said.
She held her black jade pendant in her hand and played with it gently for a long time before she put it around her neck with great care.
"Why are grandpa's and ours jet black, but mom and dad's are blue?"
"Your sister Ningning said that the black jade given to our youngest is for his safety, as for the green jade..."
He smiled and shook his phone to pay successfully without continuing.
It would be nice if we could really give the Fu family another baby, but even if we couldn't, having these two siblings would be enough.
However, the matter of the child has always been a thorn in Hehua's heart. In order to avoid disappointing her, I will not talk about it for now.
"Alright, stop asking. Wear your things close to your body and don't let Miss Ning down. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival and we should start eating!"
"Oh, I see, Grandpa."
"Okay, Dad."
…
The flower blooms at both ends, each showing its own beauty.
The first street of the south gate of the ancient city.
Of course, she had no idea about the reactions of the various families who received the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts prepared by Suning sooner or later.
While waiting for the incense to burn out and preparing to start eating with Xiaoyuanquan, there was a loud knock on the door.
He put down his chopsticks without hesitation, stood up and trotted to open the door.
When she saw that there were indeed two uninvited people outside the door, she breathed a sigh of relief and didn't know whether to be glad or curse out loud.
She didn't want to be silenced by the two of them talking back and forth, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Suning, I'm glad you're okay. We were so scared! You don't know how scared we were when we heard the news that Gaoyun Bridge collapsed!"
