Chapter 409: Finally, Back Home
Liu Gensheng ordered the braised pork belly.
Jiang Rou asked Zhou Xiaohua and Zhou Xiaochuan again.
Zhou Xiaohua wants to eat clam stewed eggs.
I couldn't finish the clams I brought back from the sea, so I dried them in the sun.
Before using, dried clams only need to be soaked in water for a dozen minutes to restore their freshness and deliciousness.
It is very convenient to use it to stew eggs.
The egg custard is fragrant, and the clam meat is tender and soft. Zhou Xiaohua loves it.
When Zhou Xiaochuan was asked to choose, he was in a dilemma.
Zhou Xiaochuan can eat anything. Strong liking for something does not exist in his character.
Apart from Zhou Xiaohua, he had never had intense emotions towards any other person or thing.
When it comes to food, he eats whatever Jiang Rou makes.
If you ask him whether he likes it or not, he will definitely like it.
But it is difficult to choose my favorite one among all these.
While Zhou Xiaochuan was thinking deeply.
Zhou Xiaohua was eager to do something and wanted to get close to Zhou Xiaochuan's ear and whisper something.
After all, she likes a lot of foods.
There is so much to say.
"Xiaohua, no."
Jiang Rou lowered her voice and warned Zhou Xiaohua who was becoming more and more lively.
Zhou Xiaohua pouted, immediately looked pitiful, and stopped talking.
But those eyes were still twinkling.
It’s okay not to talk!
Her brother loves her the most, he must know what she likes to eat!
Zhou Xiaohua is full of confidence.
As expected, under Zhou Xiaohua's shining gaze, Zhou Xiaochuan chose "Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs".
The sweet and sour spare ribs are the most delicious.
It is also one of Zhou Xiaohua’s favorites.
“I like sweet and sour pork ribs.”
When Zhou Xiaohua heard this, she immediately narrowed her eyes and smiled happily.
Jiang Rou looked doting but also a little helpless.
"Okay, I'll make the braised pork and sweet and sour spareribs. You should eat more for lunch."
As she spoke, Jiang Rou reached out and patted Zhou Xiaochuan on the forehead.
Gently, it is a silent reminder.
"You, you, don't be so obsessed with Xiaohua. You need to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs. I'm also making a three-fresh mushroom soup for you."
The three-fresh mushroom soup contains not only mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and seafood mushrooms, but also shrimps, eggs, and tofu.
It is made into a big bowl of delicious food, which tastes particularly sweet.
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't realize what he liked to eat, but Jiang Rou remembered his taste.
That's it.
Lunch for the day has been decided.
After Jiang Rou returned home, she started to get busy.
Zhou Xiaochuan helped Jiang Rou light the fire and burn the stove as usual.
Liu Gensheng couldn't find anything to do, but he felt that he had to do nothing.
Since he is living in the Zhou family for free, he should do some work and help out.
The little child was very restless because he couldn't find anything to do, and he kept running in and out of the house.
Even when Zhou Xiaohua asked him to play shuttlecock, Liu Gensheng kept getting distracted.
well……
Noon.
Jiang Rou wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked out of the kitchen carrying the last dish.
Just as I put it down, I heard a sound outside the door.
It was the familiar sound of steady footsteps.
Jiang Rou was stunned, then she grabbed her apron to wipe her hands, and then hurried out.
Arrived outside.
Just a glance.
Excitement and joy almost burst out from her shining eyes.
"Chongshan, you're back!"
She couldn't stop laughing, and her smile was full of sweetness.
These days.
Jiang Rou and Zhou Chongshan met a few times occasionally, but most of the time they only stayed for a few minutes before parting in a hurry.
Zhou Chongshan has a heavy burden on his shoulders and is very busy.
Jiang Rou knew all this, and tried her best to be a good wife and help Zhou Chongshan, so as not to cause any more trouble.
But……
There was an earthquake and an aftershock before, and Zhou Chongshan had been on the front line of disaster relief, which was very dangerous.
How can I say I'm not worried?
Later.
He then took his soldiers to the surrounding islands and stayed there for several days.
Now in the middle of the day, I actually saw the tall man coming back.
Jiang Rou realized belatedly that she felt how Song Qingqian felt when she saw He Donglai wake up.
She had thought she wouldn't be that excited.
But when the emotions burst out, they were stronger than she had imagined.
"Wife, I'm back."
Zhou Chongshan hadn't slept well for several days, and his rough face looked a little tired.
But his eyes were bright.
Especially after seeing Jiang Rou and the children, his obsidian eyes were like a pool of autumn water.
Jiang Rou endured the sourness and heat in her nasal cavity.
She pressed, "Are you still going out?"
"No. It's been a while, and I can finally go home."
Zhou Chongshan had completed most of his tasks, and the remaining unfinished tasks had been assigned to other people. He could finally relax and take a breath.
As soon as I heard I was going home.
Jiang Rou's smile became more charming.
Zhou Xiaohua rushed up to him all of a sudden, not caring about the dirt on Zhou Chongshan's military pants, and hugged him affectionately.
She looked up.
"dad."
"Yes! It's Dad! Our Xiaohua has a really nice voice."
Zhou Chongshan smiled happily and picked up the small and soft Zhou Xiaohua.
He strode up to Jiang Rou, held her in his arms, and hugged her.
"Wife, I'm back safely."
Jiang Rou leaned on Zhou Chongshan's chest, a hint of moisture in the corners of her eyes, and nodded vigorously.
"I'm glad you're back... I'm glad you're back... I made lunch! I made a lot. I was thinking of looking for Song Yan and asking him to find a way to send you lunch. Now you don't have to think about it. You're back just in time. Let's eat, eat together."
"Okay, wife, let's eat together."
A long-lost family reunion.
There were not just four people at the dinner table, but five.
"Gensheng, he is Xiaochuan and Xiaohua's father, you can call him Uncle Zhou."
"Hello, Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Chongshan asked concernedly, "Well, are you still used to living at home?"
"I'm used to it. My family is very good, very nice, and everyone treats me very well."
Liu Gensheng was somewhat afraid of Zhou Chongshan, who was tall and had a strong face.
But he had seen Zhou Chongshan carrying Zhou Xiaohua on his shoulders and taking them home.
Uncle Zhou was also very gentle when he spoke to him.
He is a good man, a very good man who treats him very well.
The family sat together, as if they had returned to the past.
Zhou Chongshan spoke first, "Let's eat."
The children all picked up their chopsticks.
Liu Gensheng just focused on eating. The white rice tasted good no matter how he ate it.
Zhou Chongshan picked up a piece of braised pork belly and put it in his bowl.
"Eat more meat to grow taller. You are the same age as Xiaochuan, but you are too thin and not tall enough now."
"Uncle, you... do you know how old I am?"
"Yes. You are our family now. It is necessary to understand family members."
As Zhou Chongshan spoke, he continued to pick up food for Liu Gensheng.
Pile the small bowl high.
The pork belly wrapped in shiny sugar-colored food is about to fall off the tip of the bowl. You have to eat it.
Ouch.
Liu Gensheng stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, took a few bites, and his round eyes widened.
This is so delicious!
Eating meat is indeed the happiest thing!
