Just when Chu Yao and her family arrived at the train station, martial law was suddenly imposed and everyone was ordered not to travel. This made Chu Yao suddenly remember the history she had learned in her previous life. This year was 1983, the year of the crackdown.
Chu Yao finally realized her mistake. She had been living in peace for so long that she had forgotten that this was a period of strict crackdown. She patted her head in frustration and said to Yang Hang, "Ah Hang, I guess we won't be going out to play this year. It's not safe outside. Let's try to stay home."
As early as the martial law period, the five elders in the family felt that something was wrong. Having experienced that period, they understood the seriousness of the matter.
Each of them protected their own children and returned the same way.
When they returned home, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss, "Could it be that the darkness has returned?"
"What should I do? Oh..."
"Mom, don't think too much. It's not true. I heard from my colleagues that they are cracking down on criminals, so there is martial law today. However, we still have to be more careful when we go out in the future."
"Okay, as long as it's not like those years, we'll be fine. We know what to do with the rest. Go do what you need to do, and don't worry about us. We'll just stay home and watch TV and chat."
"Okay, Mom and Dad, just treat it as a vacation and rest well at home during this period of time."
Chu Yao, Yang Hang and others comforted the elders in the family, and then turned their attention to the children with their heads hanging down. It was obvious that they could not accept the fact that the trip was not successful for a while.
"A Zhao, A Zhang, A Xuan, Fu Fu, Le Le, come in, I want to talk to you for a while."
After hearing Chu Yao's voice, A Zhao and the others raised their heads and saw their mother looking at them with a smile on her face. They immediately felt no longer wronged. This incident was an emergency, and they were grown-up children now, so they should know the seriousness of the matter.
"Aunt, I'm sorry. I was too stubborn." Fu Fu, the eldest child in the family, apologized to Chu Yao.
"Fu Fu, this is not your fault. Your aunt would like to apologize to you here. This kind of thing was originally planned by us adults, but we didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes. The cause of this incident was uncontrollable, so this is not our fault, Fu Fu." After Chu Yao finished speaking, she touched Fu Fu's hair.
Fu Fu was already a grown boy, but when his aunt touched him like that, his face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed.
Chu Yao laughed at what she saw, and comforted the other children one by one before sending them out to play.
When Yang Hang came in, he saw A Yao lying on the bed thinking about something. He knew that A Yao was feeling a little uncomfortable about this matter.
"Ayao, this is not your fault, don't think too much about it."
"Well, I'm not thinking about it now. It's just a little regretful. And seeing the disappointment in Ah Zhao's eyes, I feel that sometimes I really do want to do whatever I want, but I can't complete the whole thing perfectly."
"Ayao, look into my eyes."
"What's wrong?" Chu Yao cast a puzzled look at Yang Hang.
"Ayao is not the kind of person who does whatever she wants. My Ayao is a very reliable person." Yang Hang said while hugging Chu Yao.
Chu Yao: This person is still as comforting as ever.
"Hahahaha, am I really that good in Ah Hang's heart?"
"Yes, no one can compare to A Yao. In my heart, A Yao is the most beautiful and perfect person. Even A Yao's shortcomings are symbols of excellence in my opinion."
"Tsk tsk, Ah Hang, I didn't expect you to be so good at saying sweet words. Okay, I'm not sad anymore. Let's take a break. After we wake up, let's buy some more vegetables and meat. We'll have hot pot tonight."
"Okay, I'll listen to Ayao."
In the living room, the TV was playing the elders' favorite news programs. A Zhao and his friends didn't like watching these, so they went to the study to read the miscellaneous books in the house.
As for Yang Ming and Zheng Yu, and Chu Heng and Zhao Jie, they had a rare day off and went back to their rooms to catch up on some sleep.
For a moment, the only sound in the entire yard was the faint voice of the host coming from the TV.
"Mom and Dad, how about we have hot pot tonight?"
"Okay, I have no problem. How about you, Lao Yao and Lao Chu?"
"We have no problem either."
"Since everyone has no objection, Ah Hang and I will go out to buy groceries."
"You guys go ahead and buy more. We'll get some other fruits and stuff."
"good."
Everyone quickly got busy. When Chu Yao and the others came back from buying groceries, everything was basically ready and they were just waiting to wash the vegetables, cut the meat and put it in the pot.
"Mom, you guys are really fast, it's all done."
"Isn't this because we want to finish eating early and watch TV? It's also to prevent us from eating too much and having trouble digesting it if we stay up too late."
"Okay, stop playing around and wash the vegetables quickly." Lin Ling said as she patted Chu Yao who was holding her arm.
Chu Yao: Sure enough, the children who just had their holidays were like treasures at home, but after a few days, they were treated even more pitifully than the grass.
Forget it, I'd better eat more tonight.
Soon the vegetables and meat were ready. They were placed on plates and moved to the hot pot. A family of seventeen people sat around the table and started eating hot pot.
The pot is a double-flavored pot. Chu Yao drew the blueprint and asked Yang Hang to find someone to make it.
But apart from the soup and vegetables in the clear soup pot, everyone eats something spicy, after all, spicy pot tastes good.
Even though we were sweating all over after eating in such hot weather, it couldn't stop us from loving hotpot.
The hotpot meal lasted nearly two hours. When the dishes on the table were almost finished, everyone realized that they were very full.
"No, no, I ate too much tonight. I have to walk a few more laps in the yard."
"Let me join in. I haven't had hotpot in a long time. I can't stop eating it now."
"Yes, the hot pot is so delicious that people can't help but eat more."
"Okay, all of you go take a walk in the yard, Ah Hang and I will clean up these."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
Several elders were walking around in the yard to digest their food, and Fu Fu and the others followed behind them.
Chu Yao and the others found it funny and thought they could build a few swing sets in the backyard so they could play with them when they were bored.
Strength lies in numbers. They quickly cleaned up and opened the windows in the kitchen and living room to let in some fresh air and get rid of the hot pot smell in the living room. Otherwise, they would have wanted to continue eating if they could smell the faint smell of hot pot in the air.
Hahaha, this is a euphemism for saying it. Chu Yao said that after eating hot pot this time, she doesn’t want to eat hot pot again for at least a month.
Hotpot is delicious, but the feeling after eating it is not very pleasant, so she didn’t want to eat it again within a month.
