The meals Chu Yao prepared were no different from before. If there was any difference, it was that there were more meat dishes and snacks today, and they were all Yao Jinnian's favorites.
As the elderly get older, they want to eat soft and tender food.
Chu Yao was halfway through serving the dishes when Yao Jinnian and Yang Hang came in. Chu Yao called out, "Uncle Nian, please sit down. I made your favorite stewed beef brisket with potatoes today, as well as the lotus root and pork ribs soup that you always craved. Uncle Nian, you must eat more."
"Okay, okay, the food you cook is delicious. Don't worry, I will definitely eat more and I will definitely finish my plate."
After Chu Yao finished speaking, she continued to serve the dishes. Yang Hang also took the initiative to help Chu Yao.
The babies chattered non-stop around Yao Jinnian. Yao Jinnian would be in a very good mood every time he came to Chu Yao's house. Their family atmosphere was what he had and lost before, so he missed it very much.
These children are also sensible, smart, and clever. They may be naughty like other children but they are not unreasonable. When you see these children, you feel that their parents have educated them very well, and you feel fond of the whole family.
After all the dishes were served, they ate while chatting about family matters. The scene was warm and harmonious. The lights in the house shone warmly on everyone's heads, and from a distance it looked like they were coated with a layer of golden light.
It was still a bit hot in the north in mid-July. After dinner, everyone went to the yard to enjoy the cool air and ate some watermelons soaked in well water. Even if a god came, they would not change their days.
"Uncle Nian, this watermelon is cold. Please eat less. Your stomach can't bear it if you eat too much." Chu Yao said as she took the plate of watermelon away from Yao Jinnian.
Yao Jinnian's face showed regret.
"Ayao, don't worry, my stomach is fine. Don't be afraid. I'll eat just one more piece." Yao Jinnian said as he picked up a piece of watermelon and started eating while Chu Yao wasn't paying attention.
Chu Yao had no choice but to stare at Yao Jinnian.
Yao Jinnian felt a little guilty, but no matter how guilty he was, at least the watermelon was almost in his mouth.
Yao Jinnian was a little greedy for coolness. When his family was well off, his family never let him get too warm. Later, he was sent down to the countryside and lived a life worse than that of animals for several years. At that time, he didn't dare to complain.
Now he is fine again. When he is with younger people like Yang Hang and Chu Yao, his mischievous nature comes out again.
"Yang Hang, please stay in the dormitory with Uncle Nian tonight. Uncle Nian is old, and I'm afraid he might feel uncomfortable at night. It would be better if you stay over there so that someone can take care of him. Uncle Nian, you are not allowed to refuse."
Yao Jinnian had no choice but to swallow what he was about to say silently. He was deeply touched by Chu Yao's thoughtfulness. At this time, the idea in his heart became even more intense.
Yang Hang listens to A Yao in everything at home and does whatever A Yao asks him to do.
So when Yao Jinnian was about to leave, Yang Hang left with Yao Jinnian. Of course, he finished most of the housework before leaving.
The two of them were walking to the company dormitory. They had just eaten a lot in the evening, so they could take this opportunity to digest the food.
"Yang Hang, there aren't many people who treat their wives and children as well as you do. Keep up the good work. Uncle Nian, as someone who's been through this, is telling you this. In a person's life, nothing else matters. What's important is having someone around who understands your feelings, preferably your spouse. If one of you dies first, it'll definitely be your spouse. If she goes first, you'll suffer less."
"Also, men, don't have any shady thoughts. Think about it, your wife is the one you've loved since you were young. She's been with you through the hard times. When it's time to enjoy life, let her enjoy it. But don't lose control of your two ounces of flesh."
Yang Hang listened attentively to Yao Jinnian's words. When Yao Jinnian mentioned the two taels of meat, he didn't understand at first. But when he understood it, he felt a little embarrassed and was shocked that Yao Jinnian could also use swear words.
"Uncle Nian, I won't. I can let anyone down in this life, but I can never let A Yao down. I wasn't by her side when she was pregnant and gave birth. She suffered a lot. From now on, I will only make her smile happily and never let her cry."
"Well, well done, this is what a man should do. As men, no matter what happens outside, as long as we are at home, we should put our wives first."
Yao Jinnian also patted Yang Hang's shoulder hard.
Yang Hang suddenly grinned, which made Yao Jinnian laugh happily.
Of course, Yang Hang did this on purpose. After all, Yao Jinnian was old, and how strong could he be? He just wanted the old man in front of him to be happier.
He was a little homesick.
I guess A Yao misses home too.
