He is happy if his family gets along well with each other; if they push him too far, that is another matter.
"Grandpa, I only come back once every six months. How can I possibly eat what Goudan cooks? Please stop nagging me. My ears are getting calluses."
Old Master Yan laughed angrily, "How many more times do you want?"
"Not ten times, eight times is fine." Yan Ruhai smiled, as if he didn't notice the old man's expression. Seeing that Old Man Yan was about to lose his temper, he said, "This is my sister-in-law. Why are you being so polite?"
Zhong Yuxiu was amused, "Grandpa, what Xiaohai said makes sense, please don't scold him; he is quite sensible, it's just that he likes to play when he is young, he will naturally become more mature when he gets older." Maybe, when that time comes, the old man will still miss the current Yan Ruhai.
The human heart is never satisfied. When we are free, we want to find something to do, and when we are doing something, we want to play. When the children are immature, we often scold them for being so immature. When the children grow up, we feel deserted and lonely again.
"You're not that old either. You're more sensible, more capable, more steady, and more capable of handling things than him..."
Yan Ruhai: So, please call me Yan·Yiwushichu·Ruhai, thank you.
The grandfather and grandson argued again, and Zhong Yuxiu was amused.
"Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Go play." Grandpa Yan took a small steamed bun from the plate and ate it. He was angry with his grandson, so he might as well eat something good. Halfway through the meal, Grandpa Yan stood up and said, "I'm leaving. I'm going to be late for work."
Zhong Yuxiu stood up to see him off. "Take care, Grandpa. Come over for dinner tonight. I'll ask Goudan to make your favorite braised pork. I'll also ask Brother Yan to buy two roast ducks. Come this way when you come back!"
"Okay, I sure will." Old Master Yan agreed with a smile and walked out briskly.
After seeing the old man off, Yan Ruhai licked his face and approached Zhong Yuxiu, "Sister-in-law, can you ask Goudan to make me some meat sauce?"
"Go tell Goudan what kind of meat sauce you want. Tell him clearly and he'll make it for you." Zhong Yuxiu glanced at him and smiled. "But you'll have to get the meat for the sauce. We don't have that much meat at home."
Yan Ruhai agreed repeatedly, "Okay, wait a minute my brother will come down and take me to buy it."
"What are you buying?" Yan Rushan walked down the stairs, neatly dressed, his brows etched with weariness. "You're eating and drinking for free here, what else do you want to buy?"
"Brother, you're finally awake. Didn't you sleep well last night?" Yan Ruhai turned to his brother and followed him.
Yan Rushan rubbed his brows lightly, "Can you be quiet?"
"No." Yan Ruhai said, "Brother, are you going to sleep later? If not, take me to buy some meat. I want Goudan to help me make meat sauce. How can I make sauce without meat? Let's buy more beef and pork to make sauce."
"What kind of meat sauce? It's a waste." Yan Rushan didn't want to go.
Yan Ruhai pulled him and pestered him, "Brother, dear brother, big brother, just this once, okay? I'm familiar with the terrain, so I don't need you to lead the way anymore."
Yan Rushan glanced at him and went back to look at his wife.
Zhong Yuxiu said, "Take him to have a look. Now that the economy is open, there should be plenty of places selling meat. Beef is hard to come by, but pork is still okay. If there's really nothing, buy a couple of chickens, clean them up, and bring them back. You can also make meat sauce with the chicken."
"Okay, for your sister-in-law's sake, I'll take you there." He pushed Yan Ruhai away, turned around, went to the bathroom to wash up, and came out. When he saw Yan Ruhai approaching again, he pushed him away again, "What's the hurry? I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Then you eat, you eat, Goudan made a very rich breakfast."
Yan Ruhai was running around, just short of serving tea and water, and his attentiveness was beyond words.
Yan Rushan finished his meal comfortably and wiped his mouth. "Goudan wants to cook for your sister-in-law. If you want meat sauce, that's fine. But don't take up too much of Goudan's time."
"Okay, no problem. It shouldn't take long to make the meat sauce. If you really can't, I can help Goudan. My cooking skills are not that good, but I can still make the timing." As long as he can bring some delicious food to school to satisfy his cravings, he will not hesitate to do so.
"Okay, let's go." Yan Rushan agreed reluctantly. Before leaving, he reminded his wife not to get tired at home and to have a good rest. "Tell me what you want to eat and I'll bring it back for you."
Zhong Yuxiu thought for a moment and said, "See if there's any fruit. If there is, buy some. We don't have much fruit at home." The fruit she had been eating recently was not much different from the meals.
"Okay, you don't have to see us off. Just go home and don't catch a cold." Seeing that she was about to see him off to the door, Yan Rushan urged her into the house.
"Got it, go and come back quickly."
After watching the Yan Rushan brothers go away, Zhong Yuxiu returned to the house, feeling a warm atmosphere filling her body and mind.
Tian Shangguo brought a bowl of nourishing soup, mainly made of vegetables, without any fishy meat or oil. "Comrade Zhong, drink it while it's hot."
"Is this made by Goudan again?" He raised his hand to take it. The nourishing soup in the bowl was undoubtedly for the brain of the unborn baby.
Eating more folic acid in the early stages can nourish the child's brain and is also good for the mother.
After taking a sip, Zhong Yuxiu gasped in disgust, "It doesn't taste very good."
"It's good for you. The most important thing is that you won't vomit after eating this tonic soup." You have to eat it no matter how bad it tastes. There is one more person here, so you can't just think whatever you want.
"Hey." He returned the bowl to him. "I'm going to have some snacks. Ask Goudan to make less of this nourishing soup. It doesn't taste very delicious." It's such a challenge.
Tian Shangguo smiled faintly and returned to the kitchen.
Zhong Yuxiu sat on the sofa and took out the unfinished steamed buns to continue eating; after such a long time, the buns were a little cold, but they were still very soft and edible.
"Comrade Zhong, I've brought you new ones. You'd better heat this one up in the steamer." Haonan came quickly with steaming buns in his hand.
Zhong Yuxiu pursed her lips and handed him the plate. She then took the plate from him and picked up one to eat. It had no stuffing and was just the right sweetness.
"Is this dish empty of fillings?"
"Yes, I picked the ones without stuffing specifically for you, so you don't have to distinguish which ones are edible and which ones are not." Haonan nodded immediately.
"Thanks."
Haonan shook his head and said, "You're welcome. There are many small steamed buns like this in the kitchen. Just call me if you want some." He knew how much she ate, and this plate of noodles was not enough for her.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded in agreement. Haonan returned to the kitchen and said to Goudan, "Comrade Zhong is eating steamed buns, but eating steamed buns all the time is not good; you'll get tired of them if you eat too much. Goudan, make some other snacks."
Goudan was silent for a moment, and with a few "drip drip" sounds, he handed the soup spoon in his hand to him; he left the kitchen and went to the utility room to get flour, glutinous rice flour, red dates, rock sugar, and dried osmanthus flowers. In front of Haonan and Tian Shangguo, he took out eggs, brown sugar, and vegetable oil from the kitchen cabinet.
Half an hour later, a layer of brown sugar and red date cake and a layer of osmanthus cake were put into the steamer.
After steaming for forty-five minutes, the pastries in the steamer come out of the oven, and the fragrance wafts in the air, which is really tempting.
