Yan Rushan did not disappoint them. "Yuxiu said that once the house is built, it will be big enough for the whole family to live in."
"Yuxiu is such a thoughtful child. She thought that I gave birth to two sons, but instead of enjoying the blessings of my sons, I enjoyed the blessings of my daughter-in-law first." After saying this, Yan's mother ignored the sidelong glances of her two sons.
"Without me, you wouldn't have a daughter-in-law." Yan Rushan said dryly. Mother Yan was choked and didn't even want to roll her eyes. She slapped her husband and said, "Look at your son, he always pokes my heart. What if he didn't exist? Without him, I would have recognized Yuxiu as my daughter. Humph."
The strict father felt very wronged, as the war inexplicably spread to him.
Yan Rushan sneered, "Without me, you wouldn't know Yuxiu."
Yan's mother took a deep breath and decided not to talk to this barbecued pork; she pulled her husband back to the car. Yan Ruhai gave his brother a thumbs up from the back, saying that his brother was still the strongest. Look how angry his mother was.
Yan Rushan returned to the driver's seat with a sullen face. He knew his mother's character; she was lively and cheerful, and even at her age, she still had a childlike innocence because she was spoiled by her father.
Yan Ruhai sat in the passenger seat and asked, "Brother, are we going back now?"
"If you don't want to go back, where do you want to go?" Start the drive and drive away from Zhongguancun.
Yan Ruhai said, "You can also go visit my sister-in-law! The food at her workplace is delicious, much better than ours."
"Talk to your unit."
"I won't tell you if I can talk to you at work. It's better to be with my sister-in-law. Why did I want to do thermal weapons research in the first place? Wouldn't it be better to follow my sister-in-law?" Yan Ruhai was really a little regretful.
Yan Rushan had a stern face and said as usual, "You can't study medicine, and even if you study medicine, you can't follow your sister-in-law."
"That's all I'm saying!" Yan Ruhai knew in his heart that studying medicine was impossible. If he didn't do research on thermal weapons, his grandfather would definitely send him to the army. "But my sister-in-law is amazing. She finished her studies at Hua University and was able to finish her studies at medical university in two years. No matter what she studies, she's an incredible achiever. I wonder what's wrong with her brain."
"The difference between a smart person and a fool."
Yan Ruhai had a heart attack, "Brother, you've been in trouble today. The moment you open your mouth, you smell like gunpowder."
Yan Rushan said nothing more. His mother laughed happily behind him. Her younger son was choked up, but she found her balance. She felt relieved and suddenly understood why her older son's words were so touching. He could have been with his wife, but running around with them, how could he feel good?
After all, it’s the Chinese New Year, and my daughter-in-law is busy, so my son can go and accompany her!
"Dashan, after you send us back, you can come and accompany Yuxiu. It's the New Year period now, and it's not right to let your wife be alone." She is really a good mother and a good mother-in-law.
Yan Rushan glanced at her in the rearview mirror, felt a little better, and hummed softly.
Yan Ruhai was like a joint that had been opened, and pointed at his brother and said: "Oh, you can't accompany your sister-in-law, so every word is good."
"Noisy."
"Okay, you stay with my sister-in-law, and I'll stay at home with grandpa. I can't stay with grandpa for more than a few days before I have to go back to the research institute." Yan Ruhai put his hands behind his head and stretched lazily.
The car bumped into Shangjing City and arrived at the compound after driving for more than half an hour. The car stopped but did not go in. Yan Rushan said to the people in the car.
"Mom, Dad, Xiaohai, please get off the bus and walk back. I have something to do. I'll go accompany Yuxiu after I'm done."
"Okay." Yan's mother agreed readily and got off the car readily.
Yan Ruhai opened the door and got out of the car, then turned to Yan Rushan and said, "Brother, are you going to buy some delicious food for my sister-in-law?"
"Why are you talking so much?" Yan Rushan leaned over, closed the car door, and drove away.
Mother Yan covered her mouth and laughed, "Xiao Hai! Why are you so unpleasant? Old Yan, let's go back and see if the meal is ready at home. We'll go and help."
"Yeah." Yan Ruhai sighed softly after his father and mother left. His life was so difficult.
Yan Rushan drove to Quanjude, but the door was closed; he then drove to a friend's house in the west of the city and bought a roast duck and some pastries from him. The roast ducks were reserved in advance, about ten in total, and he just ordered one.
Businesses are on holiday, and if you want to eat delicious food during the Chinese New Year, you must stock up in advance.
“When did you buy the roast duck?”
"Brother Yan, don't worry. I bought it on the 28th. The shop closed on the 29th. When the weather is cold, you can eat roast duck for three or four days without any problem. But, Brother Yan, don't worry. The one I gave you was just brought back yesterday. I personally went to find the chef of Quanjude. There are three more brought back yesterday, hoping to eat them until the eighth day of the new year." The speaker was a short and fat man, round and fleshy. However, his facial features were majestic and he did not look wretched.
It has been five days since the 28th.
"Give me the other three, and you can ask the chef to cook them. He will definitely be willing to cook them if you pay him more." Yan Rushan said with a cold face.
The short and fat man's smile froze, then he smiled, "Brother Yan, you should tell me earlier next time so I can ask someone to make it in advance. Okay, I'll give you the four I bought yesterday. I know you bought them for your family." He turned and went into the house, brought back three oil-paper bags and handed them to him.
Yan Rushan gave him two hundred yuan and said, "In two or three days, please ask someone to make a few more roast ducks for me. When they are ready, send them to the company. Thank you."
"Okay, Brother Yan, don't worry, I'll definitely get it done for you." Even if he didn't plan to go, Yan Rushan had already asked him to go, so he had to do it. "But, your family often buys roast duck, why don't you hire a chef who can make roast duck? You can make it whenever you want to eat it."
"I do want to, but there are few people with this skill." There's no point in keeping someone who can only cook one dish.
The short, fat man chuckled. "Brother Yan, I do have some connections here. The chef at Quanjude has more than a dozen apprentices, three of whom are exceptionally talented. It's just that, as you know, with so many apprentices, there's bound to be some bias. Don't worry, they've learned the real skills, but they're just too honest and don't know how to fool people."
"One of them not only knows how to roast duck, but also can make all kinds of roast chicken and duck, cold dishes, and braised meats. You know there are four major cuisines in our country, right? This person can cook dishes from two of them."
"But..."
Yan Rushan gave him a sidelong glance, frowning slightly. "Go on, but what?"
"But he's a cooking idiot, tongue-tied and inarticulate, a bit foolish." The short, fat man hunched his neck and smiled ingratiatingly. "Let me tell you first! He's not my relative, but my neighbor. My mom and his mom get along well. I figured you have a big business and might need someone in this field, so I recommended him to you."
"What you said about finding a Quanjude chef to make roast duck was fake, but what you said about asking you to recommend this person was real, right?"
The short and fat man's eyes flickered with guilt. Sure enough, those who can do big business are not simple. "Hehehe, Brother Yan, this is not, this is not..."
