726: Please help take care of your sister-in-law
Xu Ying picked up a large cabbage and put it on the chopping board. With one knife, he chopped off the bottom of the cabbage fiercely.
Yu Zhengxian was frightened by the cabbage-chopping posture, but he didn't dare to really leave. He still stayed nearby and took the initiative to grab the kitchen knife in Xu Ying's hand:
"Mom, let me cook today's meal. You tell me what to do and you take a rest."
"You, can cook?"
"Yes, have you forgotten? I work in the cafeteria. What can't I do?"
When Xu Ying heard this, she immediately put down the kitchen knife and untied her apron:
"Okay, you can prepare today's meal. You can use whatever you have at home. There are other vegetables in the vegetable cellar. Go get them yourself."
"Okay, okay."
Xu Ying left the kitchen in a leisurely manner, leaving the place entirely to this bastard to see what he could come up with - anyway, he wouldn't poison them.
After Xu Ying left, Yu Zhengxian picked up a kitchen knife.
The last time he went home, when he was in Wufenchang, in order to gain the trust of the old couple, he pretended to be their grandson at home for a month. Although he seemed to work hard on the surface, he actually had his own little calculations in his heart.
This time when he returned home to work, his mentality had completely changed. He was really willing to do something to help the family, so he was extra careful in preparing dinner.
Not long after, Cuihua also came to help.
When a whole family needs to eat, the food is measured by basin. A large basin is needed for leavened bread, two large heads of cabbage need to be stewed, and two large scoops of corn are needed to make corn grits porridge.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, onion, ginger, garlic, pickles, and soybean paste at home. The supplies were very rich and complete, so it was easy to prepare a dinner.
When it was getting dark, Zhou Ziheng came back from get off work.
After arriving home and putting away his bicycle, Zhou Ziheng walked to the kitchen door and saw Yu Zhengxian busy at the stove. He said:
"Is my son's uncle back?"
Yu Zhengxian's forehead darkened, and he turned to look at Zhou Ziheng. Thinking that he had relied on Zhou Ziheng to help pass on the news today, Yu Zhengxian still forced himself to smile:
"Director, thanks to your phone call today, I will keep it in mind. I will definitely repay you when I have the chance in the future!"
"The best way for you to repay me is to stop causing trouble."
“——”
"Is it born?"
Yu Zhengxian smiled sincerely this time:
"It's born, a son, both mother and child are safe!"
Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Yu brothers were so lucky that they got married and had children in one go!
Zhou Ziheng never envied anyone, but now he was a little envious of the two brothers.
I'm not envious of anything else, but I envy their efficiency in getting married and having children. Every time, before I even realize it, I already have a wife and children.
Zhou Ziheng said a few words to Yu Zhengxian here and then went to the main hall.
Not long after, Yu Jiahui and his son Yu Erye returned home from get off work at the repair shop.
When the father and son returned home at noon, they learned that Chen Ci was going to give birth. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Yu Zhengxian there. Yu Erye asked hurriedly:
"Brother, how is my sister-in-law? Has she given birth?"
"It's a son."
"Really? She's giving birth! That's great! Dad, did you hear that? My eldest sister-in-law gave birth! You and Mom are getting a grandson!"
Yu Jiahui had a cold expression on his face. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Yu Erye's dog-skin hat hard.
"Didn't I already have a grandson? Didn't Fatty do that?! Are you blind?"
Yu Erye: “——” Pang Ya is a granddaughter. Are granddaughters the same as grandsons?
After beating up the second brother, Yu Jiahui glared at Yu Zhengxian, causing Yu Zhengxian's knees to jump again.
Yu Jiahui asked:
"What are you doing here?"
"Well, Dad, I'm leaving tomorrow, leaving tomorrow. It's too late today and I can't catch the bus. I'm leaving early tomorrow morning—"
Only then did Yu Jiahui let Yu Zhengxian go and walked towards the main hall with a cold face.
When he came to the main hall, his expression changed instantly, and he said to Fatty with a smile:
"Where's Fatty? Come and see, Grandpa is back!"
In the kitchen, Yu Erye waited until Yu Jiahui entered the main hall before he said to Yu Zhengxian happily:
"Brother, that's great. Later, please bring my nephew out and let me see him. I want to see what he looks like."
Yu Zhengxian said happily:
"Don't worry, you'll have a chance to see that your nephew looks just like his mother. He's very handsome."
"Really? She looks like my sister-in-law, and you are not bad either."
Yu Zhengxian sighed:
"Second brother, you are now able to speak, and your words are so nice."
Then he thought about returning to the forest farm tomorrow, and said with great reluctance:
"Second brother, after I leave tomorrow, please help take care of your sister-in-law."
"Brother, are you really leaving tomorrow? Aren't you going to stay and help your sister-in-law take care of the child? It's very tiring to take care of a child alone. Cuihua and I can hardly handle taking care of Fatty, and you want your sister-in-law to take care of her alone."
Yu Zhengxian really wanted to stay, and he really wanted to take care of his wife and son personally, but his family didn't welcome him, and he couldn't let go of his work at the forest farm, so he had to leave with great reluctance:
"It's okay, let mom and Cuihua help out. I'll come over when I have time."
"Okay then—don't worry, Cuihua will help at home."
"Thank you both very much. Now, bring the meal to the main room. It's time to eat."
The food was brought to the main room, allowing the people in the Yu family to witness Yu Zhengxian's cooking skills.
Although it is not a chef-level exquisite stir-fry, it is good that such a large portion can be made delicious.
The people in the Yu family started to eat, and Yu Zhengxian quietly returned to the house to look at the sunken porcelain.
The room was completely dark. Using the dim shadows to come to the kang, Chen Ci finally woke up and turned over to look at her son:
"Turn on the light."
Yu Zhengxian fumbled to turn on the light and saw that Chen Ci had slept and looked much better. He said:
"You're awake now. I'll make you some egg soup."
"No need to make it separately, I'll eat whatever's available." She knew that the food at the Yu family had always been good, so there was no need to make a separate portion.
Yu Zhengxian disagreed:
"I'd better make some for you separately, just wait."
After a while, a bowl of Chinese cabbage and egg soup with half a spoonful of lard was brought in, as well as a small bowl of mushroom, cabbage and vermicelli stew and a leavened pancake.
Chen Ci put on his clothes and sat up to eat.
The child was crying. Yu Zhengxian opened the quilt and found that the diaper was wet. He changed it for a dry diaper and picked up the child to comfort him.
He walked back and forth under the kang, patting the child, and suddenly turned around and asked:
"Wife, have you thought of a name for the child?"
"I've thought it through."
"What's your name?"
"Changning."
"Changning, Changning? That's a nice sound! It sounds just like 'longevity'. 'Longevity is good'. My son will surely live a hundred years. Wife, you're really good at naming!"
Yu Zhengxian bowed his head and said to his son:
"Son, remember, your name is Yu Changning, Yu Changning, the name your mother gave you - it's a really nice name, Changning, Changning -"
Yu Zhengxian held the child and swayed around, repeating the child's name over and over again. He began to imagine what the child would look like when he grew up. He believed that the child would be like his mother, an elegant and handsome young man, unlike his father, who was full of banditry and looked like a gangster.
