Yan Rushan hummed lightly, understanding the situation. "Oysters can't be sold at a high price at the beach. Once the company is freed up, you'll have time to spare. Let's go to the beach as a family. Take Grandpa with you, and Mom and Dad can come too if they have time."
"Okay! Let's go for a walk on the beach, broaden our horizons, and relax." When people stay in a fixed place for a long time, their horizons will be gradually restricted; with the foundation laid in the past, they may also be assimilated by local customs.
Zhong Yuxiu finished the oysters on her plate and put down her plate and chopsticks; the two of them talked and laughed, and when the old man returned, he saw them talking and laughing happily.
"What are you two talking about? You are laughing so happily." The old man walked into the hall with his long legs.
Zhong Yuxiu raised her head and greeted him with a smile, "Grandpa, you're back. Was it hard today? Brother Yan and I were talking about going out to play when we have time. Let's go to the beach first and eat some seafood."
"Oh, you have three more in your belly, and you've thought about it so early." His tone was sour.
Zhong Yuxiu scoffed and couldn't help laughing. "When we go out to play, we will definitely invite you. Our whole family will go. Mom and Dad can also go with us during their vacation in the army. It will be fun to go out as a family."
That's about right.
Old Master Yan smiled and said, "That's fine."
"Grandpa, the food is ready, just waiting for you to come back; Goudan made oysters and other seafood, we are in for a treat today." As he spoke, he stood up with his hands on both sides. Yan Rushan quickly reached out to take her and helped her up. Seeing her walk to Grandpa's side, smiling and talking, there was no rush between them. He shook his head helplessly and followed her, "Slow down, let Grandpa go wash his hands first."
Old Master Yan nodded. "It's time to wash your hands. You've been busy outside for a long time, and you haven't washed your hands yet. Yuxiu, stay away from me. I'm not clean. Don't let it affect you and my great-grandson."
"There's someone in the bathroom. Please go to the kitchen and take a shower." Zhong Yuxiu didn't retreat, but pointed in the direction of the kitchen. "The nanny you found is here. She's cleaned up the utility room and is covered in dust. I asked them to take a shower."
"Is that so?" Mr. Yan nodded in understanding and said, "Then I'll go to the kitchen to wash it."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled slightly, watching the old man go to the kitchen, handed her hand to Yan Rushan, and glanced at him sideways, "Little Yanzi, go, take your wife to wash her hands."
"Okay, my little ancestor." After spending a long time with her, Yan Rushan picked up some of her cheerful habits, and it felt good to occasionally cooperate with her in a performance.
They came to the kitchen one after another. Zhong Yuxiu waited for the old man to wash his hands first before she went to the sink and washed her hands with Yan Rushan. Afterwards, she and the old man went to the dining room to wait for the food to be served, while Yan Rushan stayed and brought the food to the table with Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong.
The dishes were served one after another, including oysters and salmon, two kinds of seafood, plus other side dishes and meat dishes, filling the table with the aroma of food.
Old Master Yan looked at them with a smile on his face, and Zhong Yuxiu couldn't take her eyes off the oysters.
"Grandpa, oysters are delicious. I've eaten some before."
"I see, there's an empty plate on the coffee table." The plate was stained with a lot of soup.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I ate them without the shells. Brother Yan was afraid that I wouldn't be satisfied, so he picked the shells off. In fact, oysters must be eaten with the shells, otherwise, the flavor will be reduced."
"Indeed." He nodded in agreement. "He's just worrying about nothing. As long as there's enough, why would he worry about not having enough to eat?"
Yuxiu couldn't respond to this, no matter how she responded it wouldn't be right.
Old Master Yan didn't expect her to pick up the conversation. "Oh, I almost forgot, most seafood is cold in nature. Are you okay after eating a plate?"
"It's okay, I didn't eat much, I'm in good health." Don't ban her hobby.
"You'd better eat less and eat more after you give birth." The old man changed the subject and began to complain about his eldest grandson again, "Dashan is an unreliable guy. He gave you so much food even though he knew you were pregnant. I'll talk to him later."
Zhong Yuxiu was anxious. "No, Grandpa, please let me eat it. I'm in good health. I'm a doctor. I can eat oysters, really."
Old Master Yan tasted it briefly and shook his head, "I don't believe it. If it were edible, all those pregnant women in the compound would be eaten as food."
"......." Life is hard and it is really miserable if it is not demolished!
"Yuxiu! Be obedient. After the baby is born, I won't care what you want to eat. You are a doctor after all. If you eat too much cold food, it won't be a big problem if you regulate your diet. But you can't take medicine during pregnancy. Let's be patient! It will only take a month or two."
Faced with the old man's kind words of persuasion, she couldn't insist on her own opinion, "Well, okay, I'll listen to Grandpa."
Old Master Yan chuckled, satisfied. "When the baby is born, ask Dashan to bring you more seafood. I've saved more than a dozen milk powder coupons for my great-grandson. I'll give them to you later and ask Dashan to buy some milk powder for him."
In the early 1980s, tickets were still in use because the economy had improved and material restrictions had been reduced to the lowest level; however, if you wanted to buy expensive items, you still had to have tickets.
For an old man like me, exchanging a dozen milk powder coupons is not easy; many families in the compound have pregnant women, and they will exchange milk powder coupons if they want their children to eat better and have richer food.
"Are you preparing milk powder so early?"
"Get ready early. The milk powder can be stored for half a year. My great-grandson should be born in two months at most. You young people have no experience in being parents for the first time." With three great-grandchildren, the milk will definitely not be enough.
Zhong Yuxiu was deeply moved. The gap between having someone care about you and not having anyone care is huge. Pregnant women who receive little or no care often feel a sense of loss and resentment. Pregnant women like her, who have been cared for and watched over since conception, are immersed in a sea of love and affection from their families.
Although the old man is a man, he has experienced a lot and is very careful when it comes to being careful; even though her mother-in-law is not around, she doesn't feel that the care she receives from her in-laws is not enough.
"Thank you, Grandpa. You are so kind to me and Brother Yan. Brother Yan and I will be filial to you in the future."
"If I'm not nice to you, you won't be filial to me?" Old Master Yan said with a half-smile.
Zhong Yuxiu was embarrassed. "How could that be possible! You are the best grandfather I have ever seen, bar none. Truly! If Big Brother Yan dares to be unfilial to you, I will be the first one to not let him go."
"Little girl, you're avoiding the important point." However, he didn't intend to pursue the matter. "You are all good children. I will be supported by the country after I retire. Just live your life well."
"Grandpa, it's time to eat." Yan Rushan led Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong over.
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong greeted, "Hello, Mr. Yan."
"Hello, everyone, please sit down." Waving his hand casually, the old man asked, "Where are the two nannies we hired? Haven't they finished packing yet?"
"It should be soon."
"Then wait." We can eat after everyone is gathered.
