When Haonan and Tian Shangguo went downstairs together, they saw Old Man Yan sitting on the sofa in the hall. They looked at each other.
"Hello, Mr. Yan." Put your legs together and salute!
"Hello." Old Master Yan's features were kind and smiling. "You guys are up so early too?"
Haonan's ears burned, "We got up late."
"It's not late. It's still dark. Are you going to exercise?" In the army, getting up so late would definitely be considered late. Outside, it's different. Without participating in military training, there's no such thing as being late. But the fact that they still insist on getting up early to exercise is rare.
"Yes."
"Go." Old Master Yan waved his hand, sent the man away, and sat in the hall in boredom. It was not until Goudan brought him tea and newspapers that Old Master Yan had something to pass the time.
When I woke up, the quilt beside me was empty and cold, which showed that I had been awake for some time.
Yuxiu opened her eyes, turned over, and buried her face in the pillow; she sighed comfortably, eating whatever she wanted and sleeping as long as she wanted, this was a comfortable life.
After lying in bed for over half an hour, she felt hungry and finally got up for the sake of her child. She went to the closet and pulled out a set of clothes. She wore only a cashmere sweater on top of her coat, which was enough for the heating on at home.
He opened the door while humming a tune and was about to go downstairs when he saw an old man sitting in the hall. Who else could it be but Yan Guofeng?
"Grandpa, good morning." He walked down the stairs.
Old Master Yan put the newspaper aside, picked up the warm tea, and drank it slowly. He smiled at her and said, "You're up now. Did you sleep well?"
"Not bad." He walked to the sofa and sat down opposite Old Man Yan. "Have you had breakfast?"
"No, Dashan came to me early in the morning and told me that you were pregnant. How could you have time to eat breakfast?" There was no breakfast at home. I usually went to the company to eat. I didn't plan to go so early today. It would be better to come to my granddaughter-in-law's place for breakfast.
With her cheeks slightly red, Zhong Yuxiu pursed her lips and smiled softly, "He is very happy."
I don't know whether I was explaining it to him or stating the facts.
Old Master Yan nodded. "I'm just happy. Dashan is already thirty, and thirty is the age of independence. It's not easy for him to have a child at this age!"
"Yeah." She agreed. Even in modern times, not ancient times, Yan Rushan should have been married and had children long ago. "Where's Rushan? Didn't he come back with you?"
"He's got some issues." A grandson is nothing; a great-grandson is the most important. "Are you okay with your pregnancy?"
Zhong Yuxiu nodded. "Very good. I'm not uncomfortable with it. I just can't stand the smell of meat."
"That's good." As an old grandfather, he was not in a position to say anything else.
"Breakfast should be ready by now. Grandpa, wash your hands first. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." Zhong Yuxiu was calm and generous in front of the old man. After she finished speaking, she got up and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Goudan was scooping out dumplings. The boiled dumplings were floating on the water, looking plump and white, and very pleasing to the eye.
"Goudan, besides dumplings, what else do you have for breakfast?"
Goudan was holding a large bowl of dumplings. When he heard her question, he opened the steamer and a pot lid next to him. Under the pot lid was a bowl of cold noodles, which in the past was a bowl of soy milk or porridge. There were many kinds of food and it was very rich.
It takes a long time to make snacks for breakfast, so Goudan rarely makes them; he only chooses things that are filling and nutritious.
"Comrade Haonan and Comrade Tian Shangguo haven't come back yet. If we serve breakfast now, it will be cold. We have to wait until they come back before we can set the table."
"Goudan, we're back."
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Haonan and Tian Shangguo walked into the house, glanced towards the kitchen, and then went to greet Old Man Yan, "Hello, Old Man Yan."
"Go wash up first. You're all sweaty. Don't catch a cold." It's easy to catch a cold when you're exposed to both heat and cold.
Zhong Yuxiu walked out, her eyes passing over them. "Comrade Hao, Comrade Tian, you're back. It's time to eat. Goudan made several different breakfasts. We're in for a treat today."
"Okay, you and Mr. Yan go to the dining room first. We'll clean up and set the table." Haonan pulled Tian Shangguo to the bathroom in a hurry.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Grandpa, someone is in the bathroom. Please come to the kitchen to wash your hands and prepare to eat."
"I'm coming." The old man walked towards her quickly and went to the kitchen with her. The old man washed his hands while Zhong Yuxiu washed the dishes.
Old Master Yan wiped his hands with a kitchen towel and took the dishes from her. "I'll do it, Yuxiu. Take it easy and don't move around too much."
"I understand." A trace of helplessness flashed through his heart. Should he say that Yan Rushan and the old man are worthy of being grandparents and grandchildren?
When Tian Shangguo and the others came out after washing, the food was already on the table. The two felt quite embarrassed; a pregnant woman and an old man had been waiting for them for a long time and still asked them to serve the food to the table, while the two of them, who were strong and healthy, could just sit down and wait to eat.
"Comrade Zhong, Mr. Yan, you two..."
"Don't say anything extra, just sit down and eat. Yuxiu must be hungry. She can't be hungry while she's pregnant." Old Master Yan interrupted them.
Haonan and Tian Shangguo nodded and sat down with shame on their faces.
Zhong Yuxiu said, "Comrade Tian, Comrade Hao, you don't have to do this. I'm pregnant, not seriously ill and unable to move. This little thing doesn't count as work. You can't really make me useless."
Haonan didn't know what to say, and Tian Shangguo was even less articulate, so the atmosphere was frozen for a moment.
"Okay, let's eat." Zhong Yuxiu broke the silence and personally served the old man a bowl and chopsticks. "Grandpa, do you want soy milk or porridge?"
Old Master Yan glanced at the vegetable porridge, then at the soy milk that was as white as nectar. "Soy milk, please."
The porridge was full of vegetable leaves and was very clear. It would not only make you feel less hungry but would also fill your stomach. It would be better to drink soy milk with some steamed buns or steamed bread, which would help you to avoid hunger.
"Okay." After personally filling the old man's glass with soy milk, Zhong Yuxiu looked at the other two, "Comrade Hao, Comrade Tian, what about you?"
"You serve first. We can't ask you to take care of us. Just take care of yourself." Haonan shook his head quickly.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled, poured a bowl of vegetable porridge, and pushed the soy milk and porridge in front of them, "Then help yourself."
Haonan and Tian Shangguo breathed a sigh of relief and each chose their favorite food and put it in a bowl.
Zhong Yuxiu took a red bean paste bun, broke it open and sniffed it. The smell of lard was overwhelming. She retched, put the red bean paste bun down, and drank two mouthfuls of vegetable porridge to calm herself down.
"You still can't eat it." Tian Shangguo reached out and took the red bean paste bun she had opened. "Give it to me. I like sweet food."
"No..." Before he could finish his refusal, Tian Shangguo had already taken a bite of each half, pursed his lips and said, "Then you eat it, and I'll eat the vegetable bun."
There was no lard in the vegetable dumplings, so I ate three of them with vegetable porridge; then I ate two steamed buns, and then turned my attention to the cold noodles. The cold noodles were pre-mixed with vegetables, peppers, chopped onions, garlic, and ginger, and a lot of seasonings.
The most important thing is that there is nothing to avoid in the noodles.
