Han Zhenyu smiled and said, "My wife likes the countryside. She said it's quiet, she can raise chickens and grow vegetables, and it's spacious, so we didn't move to the city."
Then he laughed at himself and said, "Besides, with my position, I can only get a small suite. There is no room for so many children at home. It is better to live in the countryside."
Lu Yiming had never been to the countryside, and he only knew that farming was very hard. But Han Zhenyu was not short of money, so his life should be better than that of the villagers.
When he first met Han Zhenyu, he admired him very much. He had a cheerful personality, was thoughtful, and knew when to do things.
The most important thing is to be honest and have good character. Whether it is to be a friend or a business partner, such a person is the first choice.
So he was also very curious about Han Zhenyu's wife, wondering what kind of woman could he always talk about.
Su Xieqiu did not go to work in the team today. Instead, he took the children to tidy up the private plot in the backyard.
In the morning, Daniu brought over half a basin of small fish, and two larger ones. He said he caught them in the river, and Grandma Du was cleaning them up by the well in the backyard.
Whenever the twins were working for a while, I would go over to take a look.
Xuanxuan ran to Su Xieqiu and asked, "Mom, how do we eat these fish?"
Su Xieqiu was picking kidney beans and said with a smile, "How do you guys want to eat? Go discuss it and mom will make it for you at noon."
Xuanxuan happily ran over to ask his brother and sister. The three of them whispered for a while, and Xuanxuan said loudly: "Mom, we want to eat fried fish with flour. Is that okay?"
Su Xieqiu smiled and nodded, then said to Grandma Du, "Grandma, let's fry the small fish for lunch, and save the two big ones for making pickled fish in the evening. Zhenyu likes it."
When Grandma Du heard that they were going to fry the fish, she felt so distressed. How much oil would that take?
But she thought of her husband's advice to her, saying that the family was better off now and asked her not to be stingy like before and not be willing to cook anything for the children.
So Grandma Du has come to terms with it now. They have suffered all their lives, and now that the family has the conditions, why should she let her child follow in their footsteps?
Grandma Du said with a smile: "Okay, if the children like it, just make it. I'll mix some flour and fry some fried dough sticks for them later."
Several children cheered happily after hearing this.
Children like to eat fried food. Although their family is well-off, they are reluctant to fry food often, mainly because it consumes too much oil.
Su Xieqiu picked two large baskets of vegetables and prepared to dry them into dried vegetables to eat in the winter.
Unlike the south, people in Northeast China can still eat green vegetables in winter.
In winter here, we basically eat cabbage, potatoes, and radishes. Not to mention children, even adults are tired of eating them every day. Drying some vegetables can also give children a different way of eating.
Grandma Du put the cleaned fish in the kitchen, looked at the two baskets of vegetables and said, "Zhenyu's wife, we can't finish these cucumbers and peppers. Why don't we pickle them and save them for the winter?"
Su Xieqiu took out the kidney beans and tomatoes and said with a smile, "Grandma, that's what I was planning to do, but I can't pickle them well, so you have to do it yourself."
"Don't worry about it. I'll clean it up this afternoon." Grandma Du said proudly, "I'm not bragging. The vegetables I pickle are delicious."
The two of them were cooking and talking in the kitchen. The atmosphere was very warm and there was constant laughter.
An An shouted in the yard: "Haohao, go to the house and get some paper. I'll wipe my sister's butt."
"Oh." Haohao got off the swing and ran to the main room.
Xuanxuan sat on the swing and was rocking there when he suddenly heard his father's voice coming from outside the door.
He ran to the door and looked out through the crack. It was really his father and a strange man, with a lot of things hanging in the car.
Xuanxuan opened the door in surprise, "Dad, why are you back? Didn't you go to work?"
Han Zhenyu touched his head and said, "Dad has something to do today, so I asked for a day off."
He pointed at Lu Yiming and introduced him to his son with a smile: "This is Dad's good friend, you can call him Uncle Lu."
Xuanxuan is usually naughty, but still very polite. He said loudly, "Hello, Uncle Lu, welcome to our home."
After that, he stood at the door and shouted, "Mom, great-grandma, Dad is here with his friends, let's cook some delicious dishes in the morning."
He had arranged everything clearly before the guests even entered the door.
Lu Yiming looked at the little boy who was only a few years old and acted like an adult, and pinched his face curiously.
Smiling, she said to Han Zhenyu, "Why is this child so cute? He is so sensible."
Han Zhenyu thought, the brat is not sensible, he just saw that there were guests at home and there was delicious food.
Xuanxuan smiled when he heard the guests praising him for being cute and sensible.
He took Lu Yiming's hand and said affectionately, "Uncle Lu, come in and sit down. I'll go get you some tea."
"This kid is really my type." Lu Yiming laughed and picked him up. "Tell uncle, what's your name?"
"Uncle Lu, my name is Xuanxuan, and my full name is Han Wenxuan." Xuanxuan hugged his neck and kissed him on the face.
When Su Xiaqiu and Grandma Du heard that there were guests coming, they hurried out of the kitchen and happened to see the shameless boy kissing the guest on the face.
Haohao also ran over, hugged Lu Yiming's legs and shouted, "Uncle Lu, here's me, I'm your nephew Han Wenhao."
Lu Yiming looked at the chubby boy hugging his legs, sticking out his fat butt and acting coquettishly, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Han Zhenyu shook his head helplessly, looked at his wife and grandmother coming over, and introduced them to a few people.
Lu Yiming said: "Grandma, sister-in-law, sorry to bother you."
Su Xieqiu smiled and said, "Brother Yiming, you are too polite. I often hear Zhenyu remind you that you have provided him with a lot of help. Our whole family is very grateful. If you don't mind our simple conditions in the countryside, stay here for a few days and let us show our hospitality."
