After having dinner at Yan's house, Zhong Yuxiu wanted to lend a hand, but was stopped by Song Man.
"Go play chess with the old man, and let Dashan help me. Girls should protect their hands. Girls' bodies are weaker than boys' and more precious. Don't treat yourself badly for the sake of face."
Yan Guofeng had no objection at all, and even chuckled and agreed, "Yes, come here and play chess with me."
"I'm coming." With her heart filled with emotion, Zhong Yuxiu quickly walked to the sofa and helped Yan Guofeng set up the chessboard. The old man and the young man sat opposite each other.
After losing three games in a row and being left alone, Yan Guofeng was so frustrated that he lost his temper.
"Yuxiu is worthy of the title of genius. She has a clear mind and is always calm and able to analyze the overall situation. An old man like me cannot compare to her. It is said that there are talented people in every generation, and it is indeed true." Yan Guofeng laughed heartily. Even though he lost, he lost with peace of mind.
Don’t ask why, the answer is that he is convinced.
When playing chess with someone who is good at scheming and scheming, you may feel unwilling to accept the defeat if you lose; but when playing chess with someone who is open and honest, you will feel honored even if you lose. To put it bluntly, this is the charm of personality.
"Grandpa Yan, you're too kind." Zhong Yuxiu put down the chess piece and noticed that Yan Guofeng had no interest in continuing playing chess; she changed roles very naturally and chatted with the old man.
During their time together, Yan Hejun occasionally interjected a few words, but in just one day's time together, he became more and more appreciative of this young girl, and suddenly agreed with his father's words that Zhong Yuxiu was the most suitable candidate to be the daughter-in-law of the Yan family's eldest grandson.
She is smart but not smart-assed. She acts generously and will not try to be the first, nor will she suffer any loss. She knows when to advance and when to retreat, and has great foresight. As a wise and virtuous wife, she is fully qualified, and her existence is very valuable.
Now only Yan Rushan knows her good qualities. Once more people find out, the competition will be fierce.
There is no shortage of men with good family backgrounds or strong abilities in the compound; however, there are too few girls as outstanding as Zhong Yuxiu, and they are too scarce. Scarcity makes things valuable.
After playing at Yan's house for a day, Yan Rushan sent them home in the evening.
"Get some rest, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Well, you should go to bed early too." Zhong Yuxiu nodded with a smile, sent Yan Rushan out, closed the door, washed up, and went upstairs to lie down in bed.
Goudan went upstairs, pushed the door open, walked in, closed the door, came to the bed, and slowly sat down, "Master, are you having fun at Yan's house?"
"Happy." A muffled voice came from under the quilt. Zhong Yuxiu lifted the quilt and showed her head. "The Yan family is easy to get along with, Goudan. I used to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, family relationships, and husband-wife relationships."
In later generations, many girls do not want to get married for many reasons: money, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, family, husband, environment, children, too many reasons make young girls afraid of marriage.
Yan Rushan gave her enough sense of security. His protection, his care, and his perseverance were all what she needed.
"Goudan, Yan Rushan untied the knot in my heart in his own way. I realized that a person's life can only be complete after experiencing everything." During those lives she traveled through, she never got married, and she never even had a romantic relationship. She resisted the love between men and women. She died alone in every life, and although the younger generations in her family took care of her, she still felt something was missing.
She couldn't explain it before, but now she understands; her life is imperfect. A person will have countless experiences in his life, and if he doesn't try, he will never be able to face the love between men and women.
"As long as the master is happy, no matter what decision the master makes, Goudan will support you." Yan Rushan is a bit of a dog, but he still has the responsibility that a man should have.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled happily and said, "I know Goudan treats me the best."
"Master, go to sleep quickly and have a sweet dream." Goudan bent down and twisted the quilt for her.
"Good night, Goudan."
She lay flat on the bed, closed her eyes, and let Goudan hold the quilt down. Only when she heard Goudan go to the laboratory and close the door did she fall asleep.
I had a good dream last night, and when I woke up, there was a smile on my face.
"Morning, Master. Happy New Year." The door to the laboratory opened and the tall Goudan stepped out. "What would you like to eat in the morning, Master?"
Zhong Yuxiu stretched and stood up. "It's ready. Just make something for breakfast. We'll be eating at Yan's house for the next two days. The food is good, so it doesn't matter if we have a little breakfast."
"Understood, Master, get dressed and wash up. Goudan will make you some steamed buns and a bowl of noodles."
"No need to cook noodles, I want to eat red bean paste buns. Make some more red bean paste buns and freeze them outside. When you want to eat them, bring them in and steam them."
Goudan nodded, "Okay, Master, Goudan understands."
Goudan opened the door and went out. Zhong Yuxiu went to the closet to find some clothes to put on, then went downstairs. She went to the bathroom to wash up first, then went to the kitchen. Goudan was already busy.
"What else do you need to do? I'll help too. I've been eating and sleeping all day, almost like a pig."
"Master, your vacation is not long, and you will be busy again on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. Just have fun these few days. Once you are busy, you will have to take care of your studies, which will be more difficult." After calculating her schedule, she can now relax and have fun for about ten days. Once the twelfth day comes, after taking over the new class, she will have to go to the hospital to study medicine. The days of hard work outside are still to come.
This is also the reason why Goudan didn't ask her to get up.
Feeling sorry for the robot, Zhong Yuxiu smiled warmly, "This little thing can't be called work, it's just helping out. Are you going to make dumplings? I'll give it a try too."
Unable to convince her, Goudan followed his master's orders and took out three kinds of fillings from the cupboard: white sugar and peanut filling, cabbage and pork filling, and green vegetable and sauerkraut filling.
"Goudan prepared these three first, and the red bean paste one will be fried soon."
The red bean paste filling needs to be fried with pork, which takes some effort.
"You go ahead and do your thing." Pushing Goudan away, Zhong Yuxiu turned around to wash her hands and opened a piece of white cloth; a large piece of white dough was introduced into her eyelids. The fermented white dough was very large and swollen.
Goudan glanced back and said, "Master, keep one-fifth for steaming buns."
"I see. I can't finish making them in a short time." Zhong Yuxiu nodded, pinched off a ball of white flour, and first rolled it into a thick dough with a rolling pin; then put in the fillings, and the buns were quickly formed. Although they were a bit loose, they would be fine if they were pinched.
She was quite proud of herself, thinking that if she didn't cook, she wouldn't be a waste.
By the time Goudan scooped the red beans from the pot, crushed them and fried them into red bean paste, Zhong Yuxiu had only wrapped eight, and they all had some flaws.
Goudan brought the red bean paste to the table and said, "Master, you'd better not make any more buns. They will fall apart once they're steamed."
"Really?" Zhong Yuxiu didn't believe it, but she was afraid of wasting the stuffing and skin, so she stopped moving.
"Yes." Goudan said, and then he re-molded the buns she had made one by one; the wrinkles on the openings of the buns made by Goudan were tight and the shape was beautiful, just like a flower.
In comparison, Zhong Yuxiu was dumb, she really had no talent for cooking; Goudan was better at making buns, okay, if buns didn't work, then she would just make steamed buns.
