"Good morning, Grandpa."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and called out, "Grandpa, good morning."
"Good morning, why don't you sleep a little longer? It's only half past seven." Yan Guofeng said after glancing at the time.
"If you can't sleep, just get up." Yan Rushan replied.
Zhong Yuxiu asked, "Grandpa, can you come back for lunch?"
"Sure. I'm free now, nothing much to do at work." The old man put down the morning paper with a smile. "Why? Are you going to make something delicious for lunch?"
"You guessed it right. We're having oysters for lunch. I'll have Brother Yan bring some back and fry them. Oysters go well with rice, and the broth mixed with rice is both refreshing and filling."
Old Master Yan's mouth was watering, and he really wanted to eat some. "Buy more. Oysters go well with wine. Goudan's cooking is sure to be delicious. I can take some to the office this afternoon to drink with others."
Zhong Yuxiu agreed with a smile. Yan Rushan naturally had no objection. If grandpa wanted to eat, he could buy it. Their family didn't lack that little money.
"Yuxiu! What other seafood do you want to eat? Let Dashan get it back for you." He also took advantage of the situation. In order to avoid causing trouble to his children and grandchildren, he tried not to ask about food.
"There are so many seafoods I want to eat, prawns, squids, clams, salmon, sardines, tuna... There is no way to get all the seafoods I want to eat." It might be okay if you live by the sea, but in the inland, you can never eat them all.
Old Master Yan spread his hands, saying, "Let's just eat whatever we can buy. When we go out to play, we can go to the beach and have enough seafood before we leave. Shangjing is located in the north, so it's not convenient to eat seafood."
Zhong Yuxiu was delighted and nodded with a smile, "That's right! It's not convenient to eat seafood in the north, but Brother Yan has a wide network of contacts and has run this business before. Otherwise, if we want to eat it, we can only eat dried food, but dried food is not as delicious as fresh food, and the nutrition is also lost."
There is a big difference between fresh seafood and dried seafood, and you can tell the difference by the taste.
"That's the only good thing he's done." Grandpa Yan couldn't help but complain about his grandson. "His transportation company is open now, but he still hasn't been able to get all the seafood he wants. We can't even eat it if we want."
Yan Rushan paused while holding Yuxiu's hand, and learned a lot from his grandfather's tricks of slandering people.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "It can't be helped. We're far from the sea, so transportation is inconvenient. We can get oysters and other seafood because they're easy to keep alive. Otherwise, they'd die if we brought them back, and we'd lose a lot if we couldn't sell them."
"That's the truth." The old man nodded seriously.
Yan Rushan: “.......” What a double standard!
Whatever the eldest grandson's wife said was right, and the status of the eldest grandson in the family was getting lower and lower.
Old Master Yan asked again, "Dashan, what kind of seafood have you bought for sale?"
"There are many kinds, including oysters and lobsters, but forget about fish; the fish that were shipped in recently are all dead and sold cheaply outside." He couldn't possibly give his wife something that was not fresh.
"All dead?"
Yan Rushan nodded, "Yes, they all died. They got suffocated on the way. There was no proper ventilation."
"What a pity." Yuxiu shook her head regretfully, otherwise how much could it be sold for!
The dead and the living have different prices.
"It's a pity. They'll pay more attention next time." Afraid that she would continue to ask, Yan Rushan quickly changed the subject. "Where are Comrade Gu and Comrade Fang? Have they not come down yet?"
Old Master Yan rolled his eyes at him and said, "I came down early and am helping in the kitchen. Do you think I am sleeping like a pig like you?"
Zhong Yuxiu: “….” I felt a sense of connotation.
"It's understandable that Yuxiu is sleepy, but what about you? Can't you get up earlier every day and make her breakfast, or even buy some? Aren't you ashamed of waiting to get up with her every day?"
"Not really." Yan Rushan replied firmly, and asked him, "What's wrong with me accompanying my wife?"
What’s so great about having a wife?
That's really amazing.
Old Master Yan silently swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and said, "You are right, but you can prepare breakfast before taking care of Yuxiu."
"What are you thinking about? Yuxiu loves Goudan's cooking, so I still need to practice my cooking skills." She hadn't cooked since she was pregnant; firstly, she was afraid that the food wouldn't suit her appetite, and secondly, she was afraid that the food wouldn't be as good as Goudan's, and she wouldn't be able to get used to it. So she was secretly practicing.
Goudan is very precise in the ingredients he uses when cooking. He has to calculate the ingredients over and over again, but the discrepancy is so huge that it makes me shed tears just thinking about it.
"Don't even think about practicing your craft. That's all you'll ever get in your lifetime." Old Master Yan's words hit home, and Yan Rushan choked. This was undoubtedly his grandfather. "When I've mastered my craft, don't snatch it from me, old man."
Old Master Yan retorted, "Then I'll be waiting."
"Mr. Yan, it's time to have dinner. Comrade Zhong, Comrade Yan, good morning." Gu Lingguo stood at the kitchen door, looking into the hall.
Yan Rushan turned around and said, "I understand. Let's serve the food first. I'll take Yuxiu to wash up."
"OK."
Gu Lingguo retreated to the kitchen, and Yan Rushan helped Yuxiu get up and go to the bathroom. After washing up, the two came out and went to the dining room with Old Man Yan. They sat down at the long table, and breakfast came up one after another.
The food is quite rich, including preserved egg and lean meat porridge, soy milk, cold noodles, buns, steamed buns, and dumplings.
Each person was given a set of bowls and chopsticks. Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong sat opposite Yan Rushan and his wife as usual. They could serve themselves whatever they wanted to eat and eat as much as they wanted. After breakfast, Yan Rushan settled Yuxiu down and let her read on the sofa. He also brought her some fruit snacks and juice, and then went out with the old man.
He is going to buy seafood and the old man is going to work.
After they left, the house suddenly felt much emptier. Gu Lingguo asked, "Comrade Zhong, did Comrade Yan go out for something?"
"Well, he went to get some seafood." Zhong Yuxiu didn't want to say more.
“Is that so?”
"What's the matter?" Zhong Yuxiu looked up at Gu Lingguo with a gentle attitude. Seeing this, Gu Lingguo couldn't help but speak, "Yes, I would like to ask Comrade Yan to bring back a towel, toothpaste and toothbrush."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded, "Then it's still not too late for you to catch up now."
"But you..." What should Comrade Zhong do after he leaves?
"Rushan told you guys, you can move freely while I'm at home and do whatever you want."
Gu Lingguo nodded in embarrassment, "But Comrade Yan is out. What if you get up and walk around? It will be inconvenient for you because you are too heavy." Every time she got up and walked around, she was supported by Comrade Yan Rushan.
Zhong Yuxiu understood that this gave him the illusion that she was extremely weak.
"It's okay. I'm not that fragile. It's just that Rushan is a little nervous. You and Comrade Fang don't have to worry. Although my belly is a little big, it's okay to walk slowly."
Yeah?
Gu Lingguo was skeptical. "Then if you need anything, please call Comrade Fang. I'll be back soon."
"Go ahead."
After sending the people away, Zhong Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong were both influenced by Yan Rushan; their attitude towards her was like that of a national treasure. They were cautious and extremely worried, as if they were living with fear in their hearts all the time.
