Chapter 387 Planning to Have Three Children
Four-happiness meatballs are indeed a rather troublesome dish.
First, cut the meat with alternating fat and lean parts into cubes, add onion and ginger water and stir until it becomes chewy, and then add some auxiliary ingredients.
Yu Xiangwan took out lotus root, shrimps, and fresh sea cucumbers from the refrigerator, cut them into small pieces, and mixed them with the meat as side dishes.
Add salt, soy sauce, cooking wine and other seasonings to taste.
Finally, add starch and roll into four fist-sized meatballs.
First deep-fry it to set, then steam it in a steamer...
Yu Xiangwan worked from around eight in the evening until after ten, when he finally finished the task...
Yu Zhiming looked at the four big steaming hot meatballs, twitched his nose and sniffed.
“It smells good.”
"Sister, your cooking skills are obviously good, right?"
Yu Xiangwan said proudly, "Of course! I watch Uncle Pan carefully when he steams the dishes and the chef stir-fries them."
"After all, I'm opening a small canteen, so I have to be prepared for the possibility that all the chefs will be poached."
"When the time comes, I will take over."
Yu Zhiming hit back, "Sister, if the canteen has reached the point where it needs your two knives to hold it up, we can close it down."
Yu Xiangwan was angry.
"Yu Zhiming, you're itching for trouble, aren't you?"
Gu Qingning quickly changed the subject and said, "My gluttony has been aroused."
"Shall we try these meatballs?"
Yu Zhiming picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating when he heard the familiar ringtone of his cell phone.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was Teacher Qi calling.
"I hope it's good news!" Yu Zhiming said hopefully and answered the call.
"Tomorrow, the person has been found, alive!"
Qi Yue briefly explained the results during the call, then further explained, "According to the information you provided, the bus had very few passengers, only five or six, and it passed by stops for buses 27 and 526."
"Combining the time the audio was recorded, the location of Dr. Weng's ex-wife's home, his daughter's movements that afternoon, and her last known location, someone concluded that his daughter must have taken a tourist bus to the beach."
"After making a judgment, someone notified the police, someone rushed to the beach to search, and someone checked the surveillance video along the way."
"Just a few minutes ago, we finally received good news. Volunteers found Dr. Weng's daughter on the beach."
"Still alive, didn't jump into the sea..."
After finishing the call with Teacher Qi, Yu Zhiming felt a lot more relaxed both physically and mentally.
Fortunately, the efforts were not in vain and the results did not disappoint.
Yu Xiangwan also sighed softly and said, "Teenagers nowadays are becoming increasingly difficult to discipline. They really can't be talked down to, scolded, or beaten."
Gu Qingning said softly, "In the final analysis, it's because of the increased pressure in life nowadays."
She suddenly remembered something. "Hey, Zhiming, do you know what happened to the man we rescued at Huguang Mountain Shelter who was taking medicine and was depressed?"
Yu Xiangwan also asked, "And the child who was thrown from the cliff and injured his head, has he woken up?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "Like you, I haven't paid attention to their subsequent situation."
After a pause, he continued, "That man who took pills and was desperate for his life was rescued. He will be hospitalized for two or three days at most and then be able to go home and recuperate."
"There's a great terror between life and death. If you don't die once, there's a high probability you won't seek death again."
"If someone really wants to die again, then that person has completely lost all attachment to life. We can stop them once or twice, but we can't stop them more than that."
"As for that peeping boy..."
Yu Zhiming said slowly, "From what I saw at the time, his brain injury was quite severe, and he's likely in a vegetative state."
"Even if the child is lucky enough to wake up, he will probably have serious sequelae."
He picked up a big meatball, took a bite, and then put the meatball into his small bowl.
"Well, it's fragrant but not greasy. It's quite successful."
"You guys eat it too, it's not too hot."
Gu Qingning paused with her chopsticks in mid-air and said hesitantly, "It's almost time to go to bed. Eating meatballs will definitely make you fat."
Yu Zhiming advised: "You are only a little fleshy now, not even plump."
"Besides, this meatball only weighs two or three taels. Can it all be transformed into flesh on the body?"
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "That's true. If I can grow a little bit of flesh, it's considered super absorption."
As she spoke, she also picked up a meatball and ate it without any psychological concerns...
There were four meatballs in total. Yu Zhiming finished two, and Yu Xiangwan and Gu Qingning each ate one.
Afterwards, the three of them squeezed on the sofa, drinking water to help digest their food while chatting.
"I spoke to Grandpa via video this afternoon. He is recovering well and can now get out of bed and move around."
Gu Qingning's voice was filled with joy, "Grandpa also said that he would try to be discharged from the hospital on New Year's Day and then go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year."
Yu Zhiming suggested: "Old man, in this situation, the worst thing to do is to catch a cold or a fever. It's best to get your body healthy and come back when spring comes and the weather warms up."
Gu Qingning said seriously, "I will solemnly convey your suggestions to my grandparents, parents, and eldest brother."
The next moment, she pretended to be shy and said, "Grandpa also said that what he wants to see most now is that my eldest brother and I can get married and have children, hehe."
Yu Zhiming exposed the issue, saying, "Your brother is already in his early forties and still doesn't have a child of his own. It's normal for his family to be worried."
"Qing Ning, it hasn't even been a year since you graduated from college, and your family is already urging you to get married?"
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "Most of the girls in my hometown are dating and getting married at my age."
"If they don't go to college, there are many who get married at 20 or 21."
Yu Xiangwan suddenly asked, "Qingning, I heard that there are a lot of births in your hometown?"
Gu Qingning said without a trace of embarrassment: "Where we are, most families have two or three children."
“There are some only children, but they are relatively rare.”
"There are families with six or seven children, but they are a very small minority."
Gu Qingning raised three fingers and shook them.
"My plan is to have three children, preferably two sons and one daughter, hehe..."
Yu Xiangwan was very satisfied and said, "Three is more than enough. Too many children would be very troublesome."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said teasingly, "You're thinking too far ahead, aren't you? You haven't even thought of a name for the child yet?"
Gu Qingning said seriously, "I won't worry about the child's name. You can take care of it."
"I also know that you can't stand children crying."
"Zhiming, you just need to be responsible for sowing the seeds. I will take care of everything else. You don't need to worry about it."
Yu Xiangwan patted his chest and roared, "Qingning, you don't have to worry about no one taking care of the child in the future."
"Although my parents are a bit old, they are still in good health."
"The most important thing is that my eldest sister, second sister, third sister, and I will definitely help you take care of the child."
Yu Zhiming interrupted, "You two are going too far. Qing Ning, I must solemnly remind you."
"We have only just begun to confirm our relationship, and there are still many variables and possibilities in the future."
Gu Qingning snorted, "Zhiming, I know you've always had concerns in your heart. But let me tell you, although I was raised in pampered conditions, I'm not a greenhouse flower. I can also endure hardships."
"You'll find this out later."
As she spoke, she hugged Yu Zhiming and leaned her whole body against him.
"Zhiming, you may not believe it, but during the time we were together, I didn't feel wronged."
"Although this house is small and I have to clean it up every day before sleeping, it makes me feel at ease and warm."
"To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to move away."
Yu Zhiming was touched and reached out to wrap his arms around Qingning's waist with some force.
The three of them stopped talking, silently enjoying the current quiet and warmth. Until a few minutes later, they were interrupted by the ringing of the phone from "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".
Yu Zhiming leaned over and picked up the phone, and found that it was Wei Hao from the Municipal Bureau calling.
Is this progress in the case?
Yu Zhiming answered the phone.
Wei Hao said on the phone, "Doctor Yu, this afternoon, I went to visit the owner of Huguangshanshe who bought the bezoar."
"He said that they were celebrating an old man's birthday that day, and he heard that someone accidentally found a large bezoar while slaughtering a cow, so it was considered a good omen."
"Plus, the old man really appreciated the bezoar, so he offered a good price to buy it, which was also a way to please the old man."
"He also said that after the bezoar was bought, it had been kept by the old man and no one was hired to do an appraisal."
After a pause, Wei Hao chuckled again on the phone and said, "Just now, I received a call from the boss, saying that he had asked an expert in Chinese medicinal materials to identify it."
"It is definitely a fake."
"It's a fake product covered with a layer of artificial bezoar, and inside it are flour, coloring and other things."
Wei Hao said excitedly, "Doctor Yu, I have another piece of good news for you."
"I used my connections to ask about pending fraud cases involving similar tactics, and the ministry said there are at least ten, and the locations of the crimes are spread across the country."
"These fraud cases were grouped together into one suspect criminal gang due to their highly similar modus operandi."
"A special task force is currently responsible for follow-up and investigation."
"Over the past few years, they have questioned and investigated many suspicious individuals, but they have not found any concrete and useful clues."
Wei Hao said excitedly, "Doctor Yu, I have applied for case support."
"I estimate that in the next two days, we will receive detailed information and investigation records of the fraud cases in the ministry."
"Doctor Yu, just wait for the good news that I've successfully apprehended that fraudster..."
After ending the call with Wei Hao, Yu Zhiming broke free from Qing Ning's arms, which were holding him like an octopus, and stood up.
"It's time to rest. We have to work tomorrow!"
Gu Qingning snorted, "You have to work, I'm not idle every day."
"Big brother has just given me a job. It's to organize and arrange the physical examinations for family members..."
