Grandma Xiaodong was very unhappy when she saw Yu Xiaoman just passing by her.
Xiaodong saw it all. That person brought so many snacks for Xiaodouzi. Xiaodouzi couldn't eat too much, so what was wrong with giving some to Xiaodong?
Xiaodong's grandmother was thinking about how to get some snacks from Yu Xiaoman.
At the beginning, Xiaodong’s grandmother wanted to take good care of the child, but when she saw that Yu Xiaoman and his wife both had jobs and bought milk powder specially for Xiaodouzi, she felt unbalanced.
Xiaodong is several years older than Xiaodouzi and has never drunk milk powder. Why should he only give it to Xiaodouzi?
At the beginning, she only gave Xiaodong a small amount of milk powder. Later, when she saw that Yu Xiaoman didn't notice, she began to give most of the milk powder to Xiaodong and only gave Xiaodouzi warm water.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaoman came back several times a day, otherwise, Xiaodouzi would have died of hunger long ago.
Although Yu Xiaoman thought Xiaodouzi was growing slowly before, he didn’t think much about it because he saw that Xiaodouzi was dressed neatly and had a bulging belly.
She noticed something was wrong from Xiaodong's actions today, and she had other ideas.
Originally, Qi Huilan wanted to take Yu Xiaoman and her son on a bike, but Yu Xiaoman said she could ride by herself. So she put Xiaodouzi in a backpack and carried it on her back, and the two of them rode their bikes to Qi Mengmeng's house.
Qi Mengmeng was picking vegetables with Zhang Meiling while talking. Originally, Zhang Meiling wanted to pick the vegetables herself, but Qi Mengmeng was really bored, and she finally persuaded Zhang Meiling to let her do the work.
After Qi Huilan and Yu Xiaoman came back, they directly deprived Qi Mengmeng of the right to work.
"Mengmeng, your belly is so big, go back to the house and sit down. Aunt Qi and I can do it." Yu Xiaoman reached out and helped Qi Mengmeng go back to the house, leaving her no chance to refuse.
"Xiaoman, I'm really fine. Look, I'm in good spirits." Qi Mengmeng was telling the truth. Except for her big belly, she was fine in other aspects.
But because her belly was too big, others were worried about letting her work.
Yu Xiaoman helped Qi Mengmeng into the house and put Xiaodouzi down.
"If you have nothing to do, help me look after Xiaodouzi."
Qi Mengmeng: ...
Xiaodouzi: ...
Qi Mengmeng hadn't seen Xiao Douzi for a while. She asked Xiao Douzi tentatively: "Xiao Douzi, do you still remember me?"
Xiaodouzi shook his head, he didn't know her.
Qi Mengmeng took a banana from the table and handed it to Xiaodouzi: "Xiaodouzi, eat the banana."
Xiao Douzi didn't know Qi Mengmeng and didn't reach out his hand. He looked around privately, trying to find Yu Xiaoman.
"This banana is delicious." Qi Mengmeng peeled the banana directly, took a bite herself, and then broke off a little and smeared it on Xiaodouzi's mouth.
Xiao Douzi looked around but couldn't find Yu Xiaoman. Tears welled up in his eyes. He licked the corner of his mouth subconsciously and found it delicious. He stared at the banana in Qi Mengmeng's hand and reached out to her tentatively.
Qi Mengmeng broke off a small piece from the end that she had never bitten before and reminded Xiao Douzi: "Eat slowly."
Xiao Douzi took it and stuffed it into his mouth, which scared Qi Mengmeng. She quickly snatched it away and only let Xiao Douzi take a bite.
Worried that Xiaodouzi might choke, Qi Mengmeng went to find a spoon and fed Xiaodouzi the food little by little.
After eating the banana, Xiaodouzi looked at Qi Mengmeng with a much better look, because he knew that Qi Mengmeng would not steal his things.
Qi Mengmeng made a cup of malted milk for herself and Xiaodouzi respectively. The big and the small held the cups and drank them sweetly.
When Xiaoman came to see her son during the break from cooking, Qi Mengmeng and Xiaodouzi were already asleep in bed.
She touched her son's rosy little face and went back to the kitchen.
"Are Mengmeng and Xiaodouzi having fun together?" Qi Huilan asked.
Yu Xiaoman burst out laughing, "Xiaodouzi fell asleep with Mengmeng."
Qi Huilan also laughed. It was still morning and Qi Mengmeng had fallen asleep. However, there were many people at home cooking, so she just fell asleep.
Qi Mengmeng's family had plenty of meat and vegetables. Zhang Meiling went out in the morning to buy some eggs and a chicken.
On the first day Qi Huilan and her friends came, Qi Mengmeng found an excuse to take out some beef and mutton. They hadn't eaten much in the past few days, and there was also half a pork that Liu Dajiang brought back.
This year, Zhao Xiaocao asked someone to make two long boxes at home and planted some leeks. They were growing well. She brought some over early this morning.
Before winter, Gu Guizhi bought a lot of radishes, cabbages, and potatoes, plus the fish that Liu Dajiang and others bought some time ago. With so many things, a lot of dishes can be made.
Yu Xiaoman also performed at his best and cooked ten dishes.
Fish in fermented glutinous rice, braised fish, sweet and sour meatballs, braised pork, stewed spare ribs, stewed chicken with mushrooms, fried eggs with leeks, cabbage with vinegar, stewed lamb with radish, and fried potatoes.
Most of them are meat dishes. The aroma is so good that everyone who smells it wants to drool.
Qi Mengmeng and Xiaodouzi woke up one after another. Xiaodouzi's saliva was dripping and his eyes were staring straight outside.
Just now when they went to bed, Qi Mengmeng and Xiao Douzi both took off their outer cotton jackets. Now that they have woken up, Qi Mengmeng put the cotton jacket on Xiao Douzi.
"Let's go see what delicious food your mother has made."
But when putting on the clothes, Qi Mengmeng was in trouble because her belly was too big and she couldn't hold Xiaodouzi.
Fortunately, Qi Huilan came over in time, picked up Xiaodouzi, and they went outside together.
The food today was so delicious that Liu Dajiang and Qi Huilan asked for a glass of wine. Old Master Jiang also interceded for them and finally poured a glass for each of them.
Qi Huilan originally wanted Yu Xiaoman to go and call Hunzi, but Yu Xiaoman told Hunzi to just go back and eat something, and refused to let her go no matter what.
In the end, Yu Xiaoman had to pack two lunch boxes of food and deliver them.
Everyone started eating only after waiting for Yu Xiaoman to come back.
Mr. Jiang took a bite of the mutton and immediately gave a thumbs up: "It smells so good."
With this level, you can even go to the state-owned restaurants in Beijing.
It smelled so good that he felt one glass of wine was not enough.
Liu Dajiang took a bite of the fermented glutinous rice fish and nodded. The taste of this fish was much better than the one made by Qi Huilan, but he didn't dare to say it.
Zhang Meiling and Qi Huilan naturally also realized it during the meal. Their cooking skills were just barely good enough to make home-cooked meals, but Yu Xiaoman's cooking was even better than that of a chef.
"Xiaoman, your dish is so delicious." Qi Mengmeng took a bite of the pickled cabbage and found it so fragrant.
She can cook this ordinary cabbage better than others.
"It's not easy to eat. I'll come over and make it for you when I'm on break."
Yu Xiaoman thought this was no big deal.
"It's just that your house is too far from me, and Xiaodouzi is too small." Qi Mengmeng just said that. She couldn't afford to ask Yu Xiaoman to cook for her often.
"That's easy. I'll ask if there's anyone renting a house nearby. When the lease on our house expires, we can just move here."
Yu Xiaoman said it casually, but Qi Mengmeng and Qi Huilan were stunned.
