Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Delicious Northeastern dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions...
He Wanqian stood in front of the "Shiqing Time" food stall.
Holding a heavy net bag filled with food in his hand,
She looked at Su Tianli and wanted to chase after her to find out the truth.
For example, when, where, and how did you meet my mother? What did you say to my mother?
But Su Tianli was so busy that her legs seemed to be on a hot wheel...
He Wanqian stopped Su Tianli several times.
First, Su Tianli really has no time to care about her.
Second, Yao Xingang, who was cooking dumplings at the cooking stall, saw He Wanqian stopping Su Tianli and immediately spoke up to stop her, "Xiao He, don't delay Litchi... Litchi is busy now!"
After all, Yao Xingang is He Wanqian's immediate superior.
So He Wanqian had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
She first went to the Municipal People's Hospital to visit her father He Jingdong who was hospitalized.
He Jingdong is sleeping.
He Wanqian just sat there, staring at the sky outside the window.
She thought to herself: I’m so tired!
Why didn't her situation get better after living a new life?
Isn’t it said that the late 1970s and early 1980s were the most dynamic decades?
Why is she living such a tiring life...
It’s fine that she lives a tiring life, but it seems that she will never be able to reach the same level as Su Tianli.
A tear slid down from the corner of He Wanqian's eye.
The father's hoarse voice rang out, "Xixi, don't cry."
He Wanqian turned around and found that He Jingdong had woken up.
She came over quickly, "Dad, are you awake? When did you wake up?" Then she helped him up, "Dad, I brought you some delicious food..."
He Jingdong laughed and said, "I was woken up by the smell of food!"
After sitting up, He Jingdong saw his daughter trying to get him food.
I couldn't help but ask, "Xixi, you just..."
Why are you crying?
He Wanqian said "I'm fine", then quickly changed the subject, saying softly, "Dad, didn't you ask me to go to the big market? I went there...it was really lively there! I also bought a lot of delicious food, come, try them all."
He Jingdong was really hungry.
During the time he was in the hospital, he had been eating in the hospital cafeteria every day, and the food was really terrible.
Now, as he looked at the plump white dumplings wrapped in the clean green banana leaves, he suddenly felt hungry!
He couldn't even wait to take the chopsticks handed to him by He Wanqian.
I just picked up a dumpling with my hands and put it in my mouth and chewed it——
He Jingdong was stunned.
Such a familiar taste!
Cantonese people also love to eat dumplings.
It’s just that Guangdong people have always only eaten two flavors of dumplings, one is with leek and meat filling, and the other is with corn and fresh meat filling.
The most important thing is to add chopped water chestnuts and dried shrimps to the filling to increase the sweet taste and fresh and crisp texture.
Moreover, the Cantonese people usually use duck eggs to make the dough for making dumplings.
In short, from dumpling skin to dumpling filling,
Cantonese dumplings and Northeastern dumplings are two completely different concepts.
He Jingdong hasn't eaten such authentic Northeastern dumplings for more than 20 years!
First of all, the dumpling skin of this Northeastern dumpling is very delicious, with a good ratio of water to flour. The skin is soft on the outside and chewy on the inside. When you bite it, you can smell the wheat aroma.
The second is the extremely sweet green onion pork filling! Soft and pure. The reason why I say this is that there are no other condiments except a little ginger, garlic and green onion, so the green onion tastes very good. The pork should also be half fat and half lean, and it is chopped very finely, and the taste is very good!
In such a moment,
He Jingdong suddenly remembered... a Northeastern man deep in his memory who particularly loved eating Northeastern dumplings.
He paused for a moment.
He Wanqian on the side asked curiously: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are these dumplings not delicious?"
Impossible!
When she ate the dumplings on the spot, she was simply amazed!
Is it because it’s cold that it doesn’t taste good?
He Jingdong came back to his senses and said quickly: "Delicious! Delicious!"
He picked up another dumpling, stuffed it into his mouth, and started chewing it.
"It's quite rare to be able to buy dumplings from Northeast China in Guangzhou," He Jingdong said with a smile.
He Wanqian smiled and said, "It's a pity that you hurt your leg, otherwise I would take you to have a look... It's quite lively, with things from all over the world."
"Really?" He Jingdong said as he ate dumplings in big mouthfuls, "I can't go, but you can! Xixi, buy whatever you want, daddy will give you money!"
These dumplings are so delicious.
In a short while, He Jingdong finished eating all the dumplings.
Then he started eating rice noodles with chopped pepper and minced pork - this is a modified version of chopped pepper and minced pork that suits the taste of Cantonese people. It is not too spicy, but very delicious!
The scallion pancakes are also delicious, crispy and crunchy.
…
Before he knew it, he had eaten too much.
He Jingdong was in a good mood after being rewarded with delicious food.
So he sighed comfortably and asked, "Xixi, were you just sad about Fu Yan's matter?"
He Wanqian bit her lower lip.
She didn't know what to say.
because……
To be honest, the current situation seems to have been turned into a mess by her.
——Fu Yan would rather go to jail than face her,
——The fact that she and Cheng Yu were taken away by mistake now seems to have become a problem.
——She asked Wang Aiqin to take Su Tianli to the Tibet and Xinjiang region. Wang Aiqin failed to do this herself and instead blamed her. Wang Aiqin has been very anxious these days and has been looking for her everywhere!
——She also made a big mistake at work, and now she doesn’t know whether it will end well or not…
He Wanqian was extremely depressed.
Now He Jingdong asked her if she was crying and sad because of Fu Yan?
There is also this reason.
He Jingdong looked at his daughter's face and said in a gentle voice, "Xixi, can you talk to Daddy? We haven't had a good talk together for a long time."
He Wanqian roughly knew what her father was going to say.
She subconsciously wanted to escape.
But in the end, she nodded.
really--
He Jingdong spoke up, "Xixi, do you... have to be with Fu Yan?"
He Wanqian closed her eyes.
He Jingdong, "I know you have liked him for a long time..."
"But have you ever thought that when you first fell in love with him, you two were still high school students."
"Xixi, Dad is an experienced person..."
"So Dad knows very well that some men are only suitable for dating, some men are only suitable for marriage, and some men..."
At this point, He Jingdong suddenly became stunned.
After a long while, he said, "...some men are only suitable for careers, not for love or marriage."
He Jingdong took a deep breath, "Xixi, so you... have really thought about it, are you going to be tied to Fu Yan for the rest of your life?"
He Wanqian was stunned.
There is no doubt that she loves Fu Yan.
She loved him for his handsomeness, youth and wealth;
Love him for his gentleness, thoughtfulness, elegance and humor;
Still loves him and treats her like a treasure...
Of course, what she loved most about him was that whenever he had to choose between her and Su Tianli, he always gave her endless preference and always chose her firmly!
So in this new life, He Wan-qian has been committed to replacing Su Tianli and becoming the good wife who accompanies him as he grows up step by step from the bottom.
Unexpectedly——
The opposite happened.
He Jingdong continued: "Xixi, you are still young... If you don't want to be with Fu Yan, then break up."
"You don't have to worry about what others will say about you if you really get divorced since you and Fu Yan have already obtained a marriage certificate..."
"Xixi, don't be afraid. Daddy is here and he will protect you."
He Wanqian bit her lower lip.
She really didn't expect that Fu Yan in this life would be such a loser.
Especially recently, Fu Yan has been completely rebellious!
She was almost mad to death!
Sometimes she gets so angry that she thinks why not just get a divorce or break up!
But--
Now her father is encouraging her to divorce...
He Wanqian hesitated again.
First, the sunk costs are too high!
Her entanglement with Fu Yan was not limited to the six years of this life, but also included the ten years or so of her previous life!
First, she was not sure if she could find a better man than Fu Yan after leaving him...
After all, Fu Yan has been involved in her life for seventeen or eighteen years.
He had already grown into her bones, her blood, and her flesh.
Now her father asked her to break up with Fu Yan.
Even her mind...was a little distracted for a moment,
But every part of her body was resisting.
Tears are the first to surrender.
When He Jingdong saw his daughter crying, he compromised immediately, "Okay, okay! Xixi, since you don't want to be separated from him, then don't separate... Why are you crying?"
"Don't cry, Dad won't talk about this again!"
"It doesn't matter even if Fu Yan is a loser. Dad will support you two." He Jingdong said lovingly.
He Wanqian felt warm in her heart.
Her father in her previous life was also very kind to her.
But the time point that changed all this,
It was a year later - in May of 1979.
He Wanqian didn't know what happened at that time.
In short, a quarrel suddenly broke out between He Jingdong and Xu Jiaxi, which was as big as an earthquake.
Then the news of Cheng Yu and He Wanqian being replaced was exposed.
He Jingdong and Xu Jiaxi divorced.
Xu Jiaxi took Cheng Yu to Beijing.
He Jingdong started drinking heavily and ignored He Wanqian.
He Wanqian had no choice but to rely on Su Tianli and work in Su Tianli's company. She lived a pretty good life.
Later, she and Fu Yan secretly got together behind Su Tianli's back...
Su Tianli resolutely fired He Wanqian, broke up with Fu Yan, and even took away all of Fu Yan's shares. But Fu Yan relied on the fact that he had followed Su Tianli to deal with the real estate earlier, and he was also quite wealthy.
Later, in order to win back Su Tianli, Fu Yan no longer paid attention to He Wanqian.
He Wanqian was really desperate and had to go to Beijing to find Xu Jiaxi, hoping that her adoptive mother would keep her.
But Xu Jiaxi was very cold to her.
So she decided to take a risk and seduce Cheng Yu - she thought, if she couldn't be her adoptive mother's daughter, then she could become her adoptive mother's daughter-in-law!
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu was not at home on the day she seduced him.
She was naked and hiding in Cheng Yu's room, but was discovered by Xu Jiaxi.
Xu Jiaxi immediately called Cheng Yu back, and the mother and son had a big fight.
It was not until then that He Wanqian realized that the mother-son relationship between Xu Jiaxi and Cheng Yu was actually very bad.
In the end, He Wanqian left in shame.
So when she started a new life, what He Wanqian was most anxious about was to please He Jingdong and Xu Jiaxi before they divorced.
They are her nominal parents.
As long as she can please their parents and have a good relationship with them.
You won’t have to worry about having no way out in the future.
However, her adoptive father was not bad, he originally doted on her;
Only foster mother...
He Wanqian couldn't stay there when she thought of her adoptive mother Xu Jiaxi.
She quickly said to He Jingdong: "Dad, you should have a good rest. I will go back to see Mom."
He Jingdong was startled, then laughed and scolded, "Okay, okay, I'm here to speak my heart out for you, but you're just thinking about your mom..."
He Wanqian acted coquettishly, "But dad is the most important person in my heart! Mom is second!"
He Jingdong laughed, "Okay, okay, then go ahead!"
He Wanqian nodded with a smile.
In this way, He Wanqian hurried back home carrying a box of red bean paste dumplings.
Just as Wanxi expected, Xu Jiaxi stayed quietly upstairs.
She wanted to go upstairs.
But the nanny stopped him halfway, "Xixi, your mother is resting, please don't disturb her, okay?"
He Wanqian smiled and handed over the box of red bean paste dumplings in her hand. "Auntie, I went out to play today and saw that the red bean paste dumplings on a snack stand were delicious, so I packed some and brought them back. Can you help me bring them to my mother?"
The nanny looked embarrassed.
But this time, He Wanqian did not intend to give in.
"Auntie, please give it to my mother!" He Wanqian said insistently.
The nanny had no choice but to take the box of red bean dumplings and go upstairs.
After a while, the nanny came downstairs again, carrying the box of red bean paste dumplings. "Xixi, your mother said that her stomach is not feeling well and she doesn't want to eat anymore. Thank you for being so thoughtful."
As she spoke, the nanny handed over the lunch box.
He Wanqian pursed her lips
——Xu Jiaxi’s reaction was within her expectations.
but,
What if Xu Jiaxi knew that this box of red bean paste dumplings was given by Su Tianli?
He Wanqian took a deep breath.
She didn't take the lunch box.
She smiled and said to the nanny: "Ah, Auntie, I forgot to tell you that Su Tianli asked me to bring back this portion of red bean paste dumplings. She said that my mother would definitely like it. I didn't quite believe it!"
"Auntie, do you want to... ask my mother again? Remember the girl's name. It's Su from Suzhou, Tian from lychee, and Li from sweet lychee."
After hearing this, the nanny had no choice but to take the lunch box and go upstairs again.
This time, the nanny took a long time to come downstairs.
When going downstairs, the nanny's face was full of joy. She held a clean lunch box in one hand and a beautifully packaged imported chocolate in the other, and handed them both to He Wanqian.
"Xixi, you really got it right! Your mother ate the red bean paste and it tasted really good!"
Aunt He Mu stuffed the chocolate into He Wanqian's hand and said, "This is a gift from your mother. She said you have worked hard."
He Wanqian had to grit her teeth and maintain a decent smile on her face with great difficulty.
——Xu Jiaxi didn’t eat the red bean dumplings she brought? As soon as she said they were brought by Su Tianli, Xu Jiaxi ate them and said they were delicious?
——She brought red bean paste dumplings sent by Su Tianli for Xu Jiaxi, and Xu Jiaxi gave her a piece of chocolate... as a reward for her hard work?
Until the nanny left,
Only then did He Wanqian take off her smiling mask.
She clenched the chocolate bag in her hand and thought: Why is this happening?
In her new life, He Wanqian couldn't snatch Su Tianli's ex-boyfriend Fu Yan away.
But Su Tianli is going to snatch away He Wanqian's adoptive mother!
He Wanqian fell to the ground, her mind full of thoughts: What should I do? What method should I use to drive Su Tianli out of her life?
