In the main hall, when acquaintances meet, they can't help but shed tears.
After everyone calmed down, Grandpa He said to Wei Mingyuan, "Brother Wei, why did you and your sister-in-law come here so quietly? It's such a long way. If something happens on the way, how can I explain it to Qingcheng?"
"Yes, it's really worrying that my brother and sister-in-law walked such a long distance this time." Grandma He also agreed.
Wei Mingyuan didn't care about it and said, "I walked a lot more roads when I was young. I can still handle this little bit."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei also said, "Don't worry too much. We know our own bodies. If there is any problem, we will tell you."
After hearing this, no one said anything more on this topic. If there really was something wrong with his health, Wei Mingyuan and Madam Wei would definitely tell them.
Afterwards, Wei Mingyuan asked the coachman to take out the gifts he had brought for the two children from the carriage. There were gold and silver accessories, jade ornaments, books, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, a sandalwood abacus, cloth and clothes, a whole box full of them, all for the two children.
"Si Yi and Si Xuan, come here and take a look at the gifts your great-grandparents gave you. Do you like them?" Wei Mingyuan waved and said to the two children.
The two kids were originally sitting on He Jinshu and his partner's laps, but when they heard these words, they looked up at their father.
Seeing this, Chen Chen and He Jinshu stood up and put their two sons on the ground, then said to them, "Go, and remember to thank your great-grandfather and great-grandmother."
Upon hearing this, the two children ran to the box to see what Wei Mingyuan brought them.
After watching for a while, He Sixuan raised his head and said to Wei Mingyuan and Madam Wei, "Thank you, Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad for cooking. The meal is delicious. Thank you."
It means that dad cooks delicious food, so let dad cook for great-grandparents to thank them for the gift they gave them.
He Siyi imitated He Jinshu, raised his short hands, bent his body, and bowed to the two elders before saying, "Thank you, great grandfather, great grandmother."
After hearing what the two children said, Wei Mingyuan and Madam Wei picked them up and sat them on the chair together. They happily praised the two children for being so smart.
After the lively atmosphere, Chen Zhen prepared to make lunch. Since two old people were coming today, he had to make the meal more substantial.
When He Jinshu saw that Chen Zhen was going to cook, he also stood up, greeted the elders, and followed Chen Zhen to the kitchen.
In order to cater to the tastes of the two elders, Chen Chen cooked mostly light dishes today, including steamed tofu with eggs, steamed fish, boiled chicken, steamed meat patties, wild leek bacon, braised pork, cold-mixed preserved eggs, stir-fried vegetables, and an old duck vermicelli soup.
The dishes are not eye-catching, but they are definitely delicious for the two elders to eat without any strain on their teeth.
Finally, considering that the two elders have lived in the north for a long time, in addition to making rice, I also made a bowl of chicken mushroom oil noodles.
Madam Wei looked at the table full of dishes and said to Grandma He with a smile, "This brother Zhen is really capable. Jinshu is a lucky man."
Grandma He also smiled and said, "Brother Zhen'er's cooking is delicious. Big brother and sister-in-law can try it."
After the elders had started eating, Chen Chen and He Jinshu took the two children to eat.
"Father, have some noodles." He Siyi said to He Jinshu.
Upon hearing this, He Jinshu served him some mixed noodles in a small bowl, and gave him a wooden fork, allowing him to eat by himself.
He Siyi and He Sixuan basically eat by themselves now. Except for not knowing how to use chopsticks, they are already quite familiar with using spoons and forks.
Wei Mingyuan and Madam Wei were both surprised after tasting the food made by Chen Zhen. They didn't expect that the same ingredients would become so delicious after being cooked by Chen Zhen.
It’s not like they haven’t seen or eaten delicious food before, but to be able to make the food light yet tasty and not greasy with such a simple processing method, this skill is really quite good.
So Madam Wei praised him, saying, "Brother Zhen's cooking is really good. I like it very much."
"If you like it, I will make it for you in the future. Or you can tell me if there is anything you want to eat, and I will definitely find a way to make it for you." Chen Chen said generously.
"Okay, then I will have a good time in the future." Mrs. Wei said lovingly.
As soon as Madam Wei finished speaking, Wei Mingyuan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but snort, and deliberately raised his eyes to look at Chen Chen.
Seeing this, Chen Chen said, "Grandpa Wei, please stop humming. If you want to eat anything, you can tell me and I will make it for you. If you don't want to tell me, you can tell Ah Shu and Grandpa, and I will make it for you then."
Wei Mingyuan pointed it out to him directly, and he felt a little embarrassed again. Seeing this, He Jinshu said, "Grandpa Wei, I remember that you used to like eating braised pork and cold vegetables. Ah Zhen has improved the method of making this braised pork. Do you like it?"
When he was young, Wei Mingyuan had the unique style of most literati. He liked to drink and compose poems while drinking. When drinking, he liked to eat some side dishes, such as edamame, braised pork, peanuts and some cold dishes.
However, the edamame could not be picked until some time later, so He Jinshu asked Chen Chen to make braised pork and salad, and put a lot of fried peanuts in the salad.
"It's okay." Wei Mingyuan said insincerely.
Mrs. Wei, who was standing next to him, smiled slightly when she heard this. After being married for decades, she could naturally tell that Wei Mingyuan was not thinking what he said.
The cold dish was made with vinegar and a little bit of chili, which made it very appetizing. Wei Mingyuan used his chopsticks to pick up a lot of food from the plate, including the braised meat, noodles, and tofu. If he continued to eat like this, Mrs. Wei felt that the amount he ate in one meal today could catch up with the amount of two meals in the past.
However, her wife was very concerned about her reputation, so she didn't intend to expose him. So she changed the subject to He Jinshu and said, "Jinshu, this vinegar-based food is really appetizing. In the future, you can ask Brother Zhen to make more vinegar-related food."
"That's no problem." He Jinshu quickly agreed.
After the family finished their meal, Chen Chen took his two sons back to their room, ready to watch them take a nap, while He Jinshu followed Wei Mingyuan to the study.
In the room, He Sixuan was lying on the bed and said to Chen Chen in a baby voice: "Dad, apologize."
Obviously he still remembered what He Jinshu had told him in the morning, but because Wei Mingyuan's arrival interrupted him, he brought it up again now.
When Chen Chen heard this, he said, "Okay, Daddy will apologize to you. From now on, I will never put you in the crib without your permission, okay?"
"Well, we can't be separated." He Sixuan said seriously with a stern face.
"Okay, we won't separate." Chen Chen kissed him, and then said, "It's time for you two to go to bed. When you wake up, Daddy will take you out to play."
After saying that, he kissed He Siyi again.
