She gave the cotton cloth not because she was reluctant to give away better materials. She also came from the countryside and understood people's psychology very well. People would be reluctant to wear better fabrics.
"We'll discuss it after Elder Yan and the others return."
As soon as this was said, everyone agreed and went about their own business. The kitchen was bustling with activity and the aroma of dishes continued to waft out.
When Yan Guofeng and Yan Rushan, grandfather and grandson, returned, it was already dark; the car drove into the yard, and the sound of the car horn startled the kitchen yard closest to the first yard, and was heard by Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong who were very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared.
"There's the sound of a car driving in. It must be Comrade Yan and the others returning." Gu Lingguo said.
Fang Guozhong nodded, indicating that he had heard it too.
Wang Daya said, "Then let's start serving the meal."
The three grown men nodded in agreement. Some of them washed the dishes, and some carried the dishes to the third courtyard. The man who carried the dishes ran into Yan Rushan and his grandson.
"Mr. Yan, Comrade Yan, did you have fun today?" The person asking the question was Wang Daya, followed by Gu Lingguo; Fang Guozhong was left in the kitchen to help Feng Zheng.
Yan Rushan nodded expressionlessly, "Not bad."
"It's not bad." Yan Guofeng smiled, glanced at the dishes in their hands, and said, "Dashan and I are in a hurry to eat."
Wang Daya smiled and said, "That's right, the food is just ready, and you two are just in time."
"Come, I'll help too." Yan Guofeng reached out to take the dish, and Wang Daya handed it to him. "Okay, I'll go back to the kitchen to serve the dishes. There are still many dishes that haven't been served."
"Dashan, come and help."
Yan Rushan listened to his grandfather's words and walked forward to take the plate full of meat dishes from Gu Lingguo's hand. "You guys go back and serve the dishes. Grandpa and I will take these to the third courtyard."
"Okay, thank you both for your help." Wang Daya was polite again.
Gu Lingguo also said, "It's troublesome."
"Family, let's not talk about this. You guys should just get on with your business." Yan Guofeng was in a good mood. He had witnessed the rapid development of the country. Even though he was thinking about his great-grandson, he was still in a good mood.
Wang Daya and Gu Lingguo left, and Yan Rushan and the old man carried the dishes back to the third courtyard.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled when she saw them coming back, "Grandpa, Rushan, you're back."
"I'm back." Yan Rushan said with a smile, walked to the dining table and put the dishes on it; then he walked towards her. His target was not his sons, but his daughter-in-law. He walked up to her, took her hand and asked, "Are you tired at home today?"
"I'm not tired, everything is fine. We just went up the mountain before and found some wild vegetables and mountain products to eat. We will also eat fresh mountain products tonight." He didn't mention anything about encountering wolves.
Gong Zhaodi has always been taciturn and has always followed Wang Daya in doing things. After hearing what Zhong Yuxiu said, she opened her mouth but didn't say anything in the end.
Yan Guofeng and Yan Rushan didn't notice her. The grandfather and grandson's targets were one on his daughter-in-law and the other on his great-grandchildren.
"My dear great-grandson, do you still recognize your great-grandfather?" Yan Guofeng walked forward, picked up a baby and shook him up and down, his joy beyond words.
"Ah, Zu."
Li Ming, who was picked up, stretched out his chubby paws and patted the old man's face twice; it was very uncomfortable to be held with both arms supported, and only his mother knew how to hold a baby.
Yan Guofeng smiled, and all the tiredness of the whole day disappeared after his great-grandson called him.
"My dear great-grandson, you still remember me."
"The little ones haven't seen you today, so they keep glancing around; it seems like they're looking for you. They're so friendly to you." Zhong Yuxiu chuckled. Just as she finished speaking, her hand was pulled away. She glanced over, her eyes meeting Yan Rushan's. She saw a sense of grievance in his eyes. What was he aggrieved about? She turned her head away from him.
Yan Guofeng's smile was so wide that his teeth were visible. The old man's happiness was simple, and a single word could often make him happy. Yan Guofeng was the kind of person who paid New Year's greetings. Regardless of whether Zhong Yuxiu's words were true or false, he believed his eldest grandson's wife and thought she had no reason to lie. And, as a result, he believed everything Zhong Yuxiu said 100%.
The problem is, the kids have their mother by their side and really don't miss their great-grandfather that much.
The old man was so happy that Zhong Yuxiu felt a little guilty. "Grandpa, please put Li Ming down. He's quite heavy."
"It's not heavy. How could my great-grandson be heavy?" He couldn't bear to let go. He hugged Li Ming and kissed him on the forehead. He didn't forget to talk to Li Ming, "Li Ming, don't you think so?"
What can a child understand?
have to.
As long as you are happy, old man.
Zhong Yuxiu moved her fingers, and Yan Rushan responded to her, then said, "Comrade Gong, take the children to my grandfather. He is missing children. Let the children get close to him."
Gong Zhaodi: I almost believed it.
However, the employer's words had to be obeyed. Gong Zhaodi came and held the child twice, and sent the child to the old man sitting in the upper seat.
"The children didn't bother you, so why do you dislike them?" After the children left, the couple whispered to each other.
Yan Rushan pursed his lips and said, "I've been out for a whole day, and you didn't even mention thinking about me?"
"Why does this sound so awkward?" Zhong Yuxiu said uncomfortably. "I see him every day, so why should I worry about him?"
It hurts.
Yan Rushan felt depressed, and when he saw that his wife seemed to really think so, he felt very upset.
But, what should I do?
You chose the wife yourself, so just spoil her.
"We're seeing each other now, but we haven't seen each other before! It's been a day, a whole day." Other people's wives know how to think about their partners, but his wife is always so heartless. If she wants to have some fun, she can ruin it completely. "We are husband and wife, can't you think about it?"
His status in the family is often lowered.
"What do I want you for? I can't even take care of my sons."
Yan Rushan: ...My dear daughter-in-law, you can’t hit or scold her.
"At least think of me, even once in a while." It was a humble request.
Zhong Yuxiu glanced at him and actually felt a little sorry for him. She hesitated for a moment before changing her words to something soothing. "Is that so? Well, I thought about you this afternoon."
"real?"
Do you need to be so...cautious?
Zhong Yuxiu nodded firmly, "Yes, I thought of you when the children were eating; although it was only for a moment, not even two breaths."
Yan Rushan: My wife plays with me.
Just as he was about to speak, Gu Lingguo and the others arrived with dishes. Wang Daya held a bowl and chopsticks, while Gu Lingguo, Fang Guozhong, and Feng Zheng each held two plates of food. Yan Rushan swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and simply held his wife's delicate hand tightly.
"Mr. Yan, Comrade Yan, Comrade Zhong, you guys eat first. There are still a few dishes that haven't been served from the kitchen. Comrade Fang and I will go there again." Putting down the dishes in his hands, Gu Lingguo sensitively noticed that the atmosphere was strange. He made the decision first and took Fang Guozhong with him before leaving.
Yan Rushan was in no mood to care about them, but Zhong Yuxiu noticed and pulled his hand, "Stop it, it's time to eat."
