"Thank you for always thinking of me, Brother Yan. Go and ask Goudan to prepare some midnight snack. I'm hungry." With a faint smile, she was Zhong·Considerate·Yuxiu.
"Yuxiu is hungry, Dashan, why are you still sitting here? Hurry up and bring her some midnight snacks." Old Master Yan was more anxious than anyone else.
Haonan and Tian Shangguo coughed lightly and hurried to the kitchen. Yan Rushan said helplessly, "Okay, I'll go right away. Grandpa, you and Yuxiu take a seat first."
"Got it." Glancing at his grandson unhappily, Old Master Yan looked at his grandson's wife and said, "Yuxiu, let's go to the dining room first. Grandpa will have dinner at your house tonight, so please don't think Grandpa is annoying."
"How can that be! It would be more lively here if you were here." People say that an old person in the family is like a treasure; Zhong Yuxiu deeply agrees with this. In ancient times, an ancestor who is sensible and capable of handling affairs is the mainstay of the entire family, and this is also true in modern times.
However, no matter what time it is, there are always only a few elderly people who are truly sensible and capable of handling affairs; and she was lucky to have such an elderly person in her husband's family.
The old man and the young boy went to the dining room and just as they sat down, Yan Rushan brought Goudan and served them a midnight snack.
Noodles, dumplings, and porridge may seem like simple midnight snacks, but they are not. There are two types of noodle soup bases: beef soup and bone broth, both of which need to be simmered over low heat. The dumplings are made in the evening after all the dumplings made earlier have been eaten. Green vegetables and red dates are added to the porridge, making it bright in color and the rice grains plump and round.
They all have one characteristic, that is, the producers are patient and take their time to produce fine work.
"Your midnight snacks are so rich every night?" Old Master Yan's eyes lit up.
Yan Rushan said, "What good things are you thinking about? Yuxiu is pregnant. Goudan was worried that she wouldn't be able to eat one thing, so he made two more."
"That's true." Haonan and Tian Shangguo followed and said to the old man, "Mr. Yan, look at the vegetable porridge. It's specially prepared for Comrade Zhong. If noodles and dumplings are not edible, there is still vegetable porridge."
Old Master Yan laughed heartily and said, "That's not bad. You're enjoying a good life following Yuxiu."
Haonan and Tian Shangguo agreed with this statement very much.
After the other guards were assigned, most of them had hard work; who could be as lucky as them, with good food and drink, and as long as they did what they were supposed to do, Comrade Zhong would never say a word against them. There was no better person to protect than them.
"Eat, and after that I should go back." Grandpa Yan came mainly to see his grandson's wife.
Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan looked at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes, "Grandpa, there is still room at home."
"It's close and convenient to travel back and forth. If you are worried, let Dashan take this old man away." Old Master Yan flatly refused.
"Okay then." Since she couldn't persuade him, she gave up.
Looking at her gentle smile, Yan Rushan said, "Grandpa is used to sleeping at home. He is very particular about his bed."
"Unfilial grandson." Old Master Yan's face changed and he glared at him. "As an old man, I don't sleep much, so it's normal for me to be attached to my bed! Back when I was on the march, I slept very well. I didn't care about the ground. I could just lie down and fall asleep."
"You also said it was back then, or in the situation you were involved in."
We can’t keep this grandson anymore, just throw him away.
Old Master Yan’s face turned red. He is an old man, how could he be shameless?
"Okay, I'll stay tonight, but I won't live upstairs. I'll live downstairs." You're trying to squeeze him, right? Let the eldest grandson worry about it.
Zhong Yuxiu pursed her lips and smiled softly, "Okay, the remaining room has been unoccupied, and Goudan has cleaned it every day; you can rest assured and live there."
Old Master Yan nodded vigorously, "Okay, I'll come and stay here often in the future. My grandson's wife is the best, and my grandsons are all fools." He was still a fool who always pricked people's hearts. His eldest grandson was like this, and his youngest grandson would also poke him from time to time. "Only Xiao Hai is left at home alone..."
"He is so happy to be alone at home, with no one to care about him or call him." Yan Rushan was trying to sabotage him again.
Old Master Yan was furious and slapped him on the back without holding back; there was a dull thud, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You know Xiao Hai's temper, and you still..."
"Grandpa, calm down and have your midnight snack first." Yan Rushan said without hesitation, "If you don't eat now, the noodles will get clumpy and the dumplings will get cold."
"eat."
Eat it and then deal with him.
Old Master Yan did what he said. After having a full stomach after a midnight snack, he ordered his eldest grandson around. He kept asking for water to wash his face and feet, and asked for water and newspapers. He just refused to sleep.
Yan Rushan sent his wife upstairs to sleep, then came back and sat across from him, "Grandpa, you did this on purpose."
"What did you say?" Old Master Yan frowned. Facing his tall and strong grandson, his face was not good. "You didn't mean it before?"
It was a rather childish move. Yan Rushan's mouth twitched in anger. "Alright, go to sleep now. I have to go upstairs to accompany my wife. Your granddaughter-in-law is not feeling well, so please take it easy and don't scare her."
"You were fine just now, why are you feeling unwell? Are you angry?" This is outrageous.
"Grandpa, you ask even though you already know the answer." I was too lazy to argue with him.
"I don't think it's my granddaughter-in-law who's unwell, it's you, right?"
Yan Rushan laughed angrily, "Yuxiu is afraid of the cold in winter, do I need to explain this to you in detail?" Although her hands and feet were just slightly cold, he still felt distressed. However, he couldn't tell her the reason clearly; it was enough for him to know whatever happened to his wife.
"Then go quickly! What are you doing here? You have no sense at all."
"Okay, go to bed by yourself." He hurried upstairs, feeling helpless towards the old man downstairs.
Pushing the door open, he entered the bed and saw her with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep. "Wife, are you asleep?"
"Not yet." Zhong Yuxiu opened her eyes and asked, "Is Grandpa asleep? You came up so soon."
Yan Rushan leaned against the headboard, slightly bent down, and held her in his arms. "He's just trying to make things difficult for me. Didn't I just provoke him before and told him not to go back? He's taking revenge on his eldest grandson."
"I see."
Yan Rushan stared down at her, his eyes twitching in grievance, "I can see you won't save me."
"Even if you weren't saved, you still got away." She didn't ask how she got away, to save the man's face.
Stern as a mountain and silent.
"Go to sleep quickly, you've been tired all day." She pulled the quilt over him, trying to cover him; however, he was sitting too high, and the quilt immediately let in air. She patted him in annoyance and said coquettishly, "Lie down."
"oh."
As soon as Yan Rushan lay down, Zhong Yuxiu pulled the quilt to cover him, closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly; but Yan Rushan couldn't sleep, with such a beautiful girl in his arms, he was living the life of a monk, and it was destined to be a sleepless night.
When she woke up the next day, Zhong Yuxiu saw the dark circles under his eyes and for some reason reached out and poked them.
In the past, he would wake up at the slightest movement, but today he was sleeping exceptionally soundly; she tried to move away, but he still didn't wake up.
