Chapter 160
On this side, Zhang Chaoyang got off the bus holding Nuannuan, and Zhang's father and mother followed behind holding Xuanhe.
Grandma Qian opened the door and saw two people following her grandson, and said nothing.
"Happy New Year, Mom!"
Zhang's father hurriedly wished his mother a happy new year, and Zhang's mother also followed suit.
"Too, too, no, no."
After Nuannuan was freed, she immediately filed a complaint.
"Nuan Nuan, what's wrong? Speak slowly, nothing?"
As soon as Grandma Qian saw it, she knew that something was wrong with Nuannuan. Although the little girl couldn't speak clearly, she knew what was going on and knew everything.
"Bag, no, don't want it."
Nuannuan took out a red envelope from her pocket, patted her pocket and gestured.
"Grandma, my sister said that my aunt didn't give her a red envelope, and my uncle gave her money, but she didn't want it."
Xuan He is five years old and can speak clearly.
"don't want."
Nuannuan nodded and patted her pocket.
"Yes, we don't want hers. Our great-grandmother gave it to us, so we have it now."
Nuannuan was happy. She put the red envelope back into her pocket, took out the toy given by her favorite aunt, and showed it to her great-grandmother.
"Dolls, cars, flowers, bugs..."
Nuannuan sat on the mat, took out the toy and showed it to her grandmother.
"This is a toy from her childhood that Chaolu from Uncle San's family gave her."
Zhang Chaoyang explained, picked up Nuannuan and went to change clothes.
"Nuannuan, come on, Daddy will change you into thinner clothes. Do you have urine? Do you want to pee?"
"No."
Zhang Chaoyang knew that his daughter had not urinated, as she had already urinated once in the retirement home.
I changed her into a thinner cotton jacket to wear at home and let her go play with her brother.
Xuan He had just changed his clothes and came out, pulling his sister to play with toys.
"Grandma, I'm going to go take a walk around Grandpa Zhao's place and come back to cook dinner in the evening."
"Okay, go ahead. Don't worry. Everything is packed."
Grandma Qian and Zhang's mother's cooking is not good, the quality of their food is just average.
"Mom, let Zhou Hong cook it tonight, and we'll stay and have dinner with you."
"Don't force it. Let's just get along like we have for the past few decades, so that we don't make each other uncomfortable."
Grandma Qian really doesn't need her son to come and accompany her. She is not used to it, and there is no need for it.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang looked at ease. I never liked them much, but I'm used to it.
Zhang Chaoyang went out, and Nuannuan waved her hand without crying.
She knew that her mother went to work and would come back in the evening.
There are only three adults and two children left at home.
The adults had nothing to say to each other and could only watch the children play.
In the afternoon, Grandma Qian took the two children to bed, and the two people in the living room felt a little more relaxed.
With my mother right in front of me, there is such invisible pressure that it is impossible not to pay attention to it.
Zhang Chaoyang stayed with an old man for a while and met Xu Di at the gate of the compound.
"Xu Di, wait for me."
"Chaoyang, you just came back."
“Well, Grandpa Hong talked to me for a while longer and didn’t pay attention to the time.
I told my grandma that I would go home to cook in the evening, but I didn’t expect it to be so late. ”
Xu Di smiled. Zhang Chaoyang’s cooking skills were not much better than his grandmother’s.
"Let's go home. They are all half-finished products. We can go faster if we go together."
"Well, Aunt Wu will be back after the fifth day of the New Year."
Zhang Chaoyang knows his level. It’s not that he doesn’t work hard, it’s just that he’s really not that good.
"It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go back to frugality. I'm used to Aunt Wu's existence now."
Xu Di sighed and said that she hoped that reform and opening up would come sooner so that everything they could do would be more convenient.
At home, they were greeted not only by Zhang's father and mother, but also by Zhang Chaoheng and a young girl.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you two are together.
This is my girlfriend Feng Liping. Liping, this is my second brother and his wife. ”
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, happy new year!"
The girl was very dignified and elegant, had two pigtails, and spoke in a very cheerful voice. She made a good first impression.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Chaoheng, take Xiaofeng to sit in the living room."
Xu Di and Zhang Chaoyang changed their shoes and went into the house.
Nuan Nuan heard her mother's voice and rushed over with her things in her hand, "Mom, look."
"Who gave you the doll?"
"Aunt."
"Chaolu from Uncle San's family found a lot of toys for Nuannuan when she was a child. The two of them seemed to have a good rapport. It was their first meeting and they got along well."
Zhang Chaoyang explained that he and Zhang Chaoru just didn't like each other, ever since they were little.
"look!"
Nuannuan took out another red envelope and showed it to her parents.
"Who gave this to you?"
"Aunt."
"Second aunt, this was given by my younger aunt. My sister and I both have it."
Xuan He also came over with a red envelope in his hand.
"Aunt."
Xuan He knew that his uncle's girlfriend should be called aunt from now on, but Nuan Nuan didn't understand.
"Second Aunt, Auntie didn't prepare a red envelope for Yuanyuan, and Uncle gave Nuannuan money, but Nuannuan didn't want it."
Zhang's mother listened to her grandson's complaint but it was too late to stop him.
"Because Nuan Nuan doesn't know what money is, she doesn't know what it is, she only knows about red envelopes."
Xu Di understood what was going on as soon as she thought about it. As for Zhang Chaoru, she was not familiar with her, so it didn’t matter to her.
Xu Di went in, changed his clothes, and prepared to cook. It seemed that they would eat here in the evening.
"Xiao Di, your mom has washed the vegetables, just watch and cook. We are all family, so there is no need to make it too complicated."
Grandma Qian has a distinction between close and distant relatives. In her eyes, no one can surpass Chaoyang and his family, not even her little grandson.
"Grandma, you can chat with Xiao Feng for a while. Chaoyang and I will go cook. It will be ready soon."
"Second sister-in-law, let me help you."
Feng Liping stood up and came over to help.
"No, I'll have a chance to taste your cooking skills in the future. Today is different. You can chat with grandma for a while."
It would be too ungentlemanly for Xu Di to ask someone who came to his house for the first time to help cook.
Xu Di and Zhang Chaoyang came into the kitchen, took a look around, and had an idea in mind.
The sea cucumbers and abalone that had been soaked earlier were still there. I don’t know if it was the fish that Zhang’s mother bought, but they had already been packed up.
It was already late, and Xu Di didn't want to be too fancy, so he simply made six dishes with larger portions so that there wouldn't be too little to eat.
"Chaoyang, go to the cafeteria and buy some steamed buns. There are so many people, and one pot of steamed rice is not enough."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Xu Di started stewing the fish and steaming rice in another pot.
Braised fish, sea cucumber with scallions, abalone stewed with potatoes, mixed kelp shreds, stir-fried meat, and steamed prawns with vermicelli and garlic.
This table of dishes was prepared for Zhang Chaoheng's sake, and he helped a lot.
"Wash your hands and eat."
"fragrant!"
"Second Aunt, it smells so good!"
The two children were drooling and followed their grandmother to wash their hands before they could eat.
Feng Liping looked at the dishes on the table and was surprised. Her second sister-in-law was a good cook. There were several kinds of seafood.
"Come, Xiao Feng, come and sit down. Your second sister-in-law cooks delicious food, especially seafood."
Grandma Qian felt that it was a waste to give this dish to Zhang Peng and his wife. They didn't make any contribution, but they were just enjoying a treat.
"It makes me hungry just by looking at it. I have to learn more from my second sister-in-law's cooking skills in the future."
"We will communicate more in the future. I went there to take care of Nuan Nuan's father and learned from the local chefs. I wanted to try something new."
Xu Di felt embarrassed by the praise, but Master Zhu did not hide his knowledge and taught very well.
It was a meal that was enjoyed in great joy.
When leaving, Xu Di also packed some seafood for Feng Liping, gave the children red envelopes, and bought gifts for grandmother, as well as for Zhang's father and mother.
Grandma also gave red envelopes, and so did Zhang’s father and mother. It was my first time visiting, so there was no reason to come empty-handed.
After seeing off the guests, Xu Di went to wash up and Zhang Chaoyang went to clean the kitchen.
The first day of the new year passed by in a busy manner.
