After chatting for a while, their food was finally served.
Jianshu looked at the big bowl of braised pork with the meat sticking out, and knew that this was a backdoor deal, as there was more meat than for others.
Everyone knows the principle of making a fortune in silence, so she didn't say anything. She said hello to Zheng Hong and left with the plate.
"Wait!" Zheng Hong called her.
Then he lowered his head and pulled out a jar from under the counter. "These are some pickled radish strips my father-in-law made a while ago. They're really appetizing. I'll give you some to try. If you like them, you can take some back."
As soon as the jar was opened, the sour and refreshing smell hit Jianshu's nose, and his mouth suddenly watered. He swallowed the words of refusal he was about to say, "Uncle's cooking skills are really good. I haven't even eaten this yet, but my mouth is already watering. I'm so greedy that I won't be polite to you, Sister Hong."
"Don't be polite, it's not something expensive. If you like it, I'll bring you some back later."
"Xiaohong is right. Don't be polite. This is not difficult to make. Come and get it when you want to eat it." The head chef came out, wiping his sweat with a towel. As Zheng Hong's father-in-law and the chef of a state-owned restaurant, he naturally knew Jianshu.
I also knew about their interactions, and thinking about the defective items my family had gotten in the past two years, I became more friendly towards Jianshu. Although Jianshu is gone now and no longer works at the department store, her sister is still there, so this relationship must be maintained.
This year, without the connections with Jianshu, I made fewer clothes for my grandson at home.
"Thank you very much, Uncle and Sister Hong!" Jian Shu didn't continue to be polite.
There is really no need to push a few pickled radishes around. They are not worth much. They are just a little gift when the relationship is established.
Jian Shu knew why Zheng Hong and her father-in-law were so polite, but she didn't care. After all, it was just a matter of mutual benefit, and there was no loss in the end.
"Uncle, Sister Hong, let's go eat first. We can talk later when we have time."
"Okay, take this back later and return the bowl to me next time." Zheng Hong handed over the pickled radish.
Jianshu thanked him again, took it, turned around and walked towards the dining table with the tray.
"Lingling, it's time to eat. After you finish eating, go back and take a nap. Go back to work after you've rested up." He placed a bowl of rice in front of Zhao Yueling and moved out the remaining food.
"Yeah." Zhao Yueling picked up the chopsticks, nodded and started eating.
"Eat more. This braised pork is the master chef's specialty. It tastes really good. Try it." Jianshu picked up a piece of braised pork for Zhao Yueling.
Zhao Yueling took the bowl and said, "Thank you, sister!"
There were many people in the restaurant, so the two sisters didn't chat much and just ate seriously.
Braised pork and eggplant are both great dishes to go with rice. Two bowls of rice and two dishes were eaten up completely, and the soup mixed with rice is simply amazing.
After finishing their meal, the two sisters took the pickled radish, said hello to Zheng Hong, and rode their bikes home for lunch.
After arriving home, Jianshu sent Zhao Yueling to take a nap, and he put the pickled radishes he brought back into a jar, washed the lunch box, and rode his bicycle to deliver it back.
Although people say that you can just go back next time, it is still better to be self-conscious about such things. After all, people are useful.
This back and forth wasted a lot of time.
By the time Jianshu went to bed, Zhao Yueling was already sleeping soundly.
In the afternoon, Jianshu, who had set the alarm, was woken up by the vibration. With his eyes closed, he nudged Zhao Yueling beside him and said in a soft voice, "Yeah, Lingling, wake up. It's time to go to work."
After a while, she felt the sound of someone getting up next to her. Without opening her eyes, she crossed her arms over her eyes to block out the bright light and said in a muffled voice, "The bike is outside, go get it yourself. I haven't slept well yet, so I won't take you to work."
"Sister, no need. I can go by myself." Zhao Yueling quickly re-tied her hair.
"Yeah, okay!" Jianshu responded slowly, then felt relieved and fell asleep again soon.
After finishing her tidying up and preparing to go out, Zhao Yueling glanced at Jianshu who was lying on the bed with her legs spread out, and silently covered her with a thin blanket. Although the weather was getting hotter, people's resistance was poor when they slept, and they were prone to catching colds and diarrhea.
After covering the quilt, Jianshu posted something, and one of his legs instantly pressed on the quilt. Zhao Yueling pulled it, but couldn't move it. She was worried about waking him up, and seeing that his belly was covered tightly, she gave up.
He tiptoed out of the room carefully, closed the door gently, and pushed his bike out.
When Jianshu woke up again, it was almost three o'clock. She got up late in the morning and slept for so long. She really spent most of the day sleeping.
Zhao Yueling took the bicycle away, so she could only take the bus to go wherever she wanted. Fortunately, she didn't have anywhere to go today.
However, thinking that Zhao Yueling would stay overnight for a few days, Jianshu packed up and got on the bus to the compound.
Zhao Mingze and Meng Ying had not returned from work yet, and the only one at home was Zhao Tianrui, who had been beaten yesterday and was hiding in his room reading a picture book.
"Ruirui, when mom and dad come back, remember to tell them that your sister won't be back for a few days and will stay at my place." After telling them, Jian Shu went into Zhao Yueling's room, opened the wardrobe, and prepared to pack some things for her.
I took two sets of clothes, a pair of shoes, and some daily necessities, packed them all in a bag, and carried it home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Zhao Tianrui also waiting at the door with a small bag on his shoulder.
Seeing her come out, he rushed over and said, "Sister Shushu, I want to go to your place too. I don't want to be alone at home!"
