Chapter 239 Shameless
Gu Xingzhou also hurried over to hold them back: "Yes, grandpa and grandma, this place is closer to where we live. Come to our place to eat, and then go back after dinner. I will bring you some good things brought back from the countryside. There are many things you like to eat."
The old lady was still hesitant. It was the first time she met her grandson's wife, so how could she let the young people do it themselves?
Gu Xingzhou winked at Wu Haiyang, who quickly said:
"Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, as someone who has eaten there for free, I have the final say. It was so delicious. I can say that Brother Gu and his wife's cooking skills are better than those of some master chefs. They can cook anything and make you want to eat more. The mountain and seafood products brought back from the countryside are also very fragrant. I don't want to leave anymore. Now I'm staying with Brother Gu and his wife for a second meal."
The old couple are also foodies and were very excited to hear this.
Especially the one that the old lady loved to eat. After hearing what Wu Haiyang said, her heart flew over to it.
It’s good for young people to move their hands and exercise more.
So, he agreed readily.
"Okay, we'll go to your place for lunch, and then come to our place for dinner. Let's go, it's getting late. Let's go back early to cook and eat."
The old man helped carry some vegetables and followed the old lady happily to where his grandchildren and their wives lived, completely forgetting that there was a worried son waiting for him at home.
Gu Xiaoshan counted some good things his grandfather left him at home, preparing to pass them on to his son and daughter-in-law bit by bit.
After counting the things, he sat at home for a while. It happened that he had nothing to do in the past two days, and he planned to spend more time with his parents. His son and parents were the ones he neglected. He didn't want to regret it in the future, so he tried to spend all his time at home after work.
So, I waited at home, cooked the rice, fried some vegetables at home, and waited for the old couple to come back for dinner.
As a result, they still hadn't returned by noon. Gu Xiaoshan was very anxious, worried that something had happened to his parents outside. After all, they were so old, he couldn't sit still, so he closed the door and went out to look for them everywhere.
Finally, I learned that the old couple met their grandchildren and their wives, and they followed them.
He went to buy the roast duck that Gu Xingzhou liked to eat, and ran hurriedly to Gu Xingzhou's residence with the things in his hands, feeling glad that he had been there once.
He ran over in a hurry, and when he arrived, he saw through the crack in the door a warm and happy scene in the yard. Hearing the laughter coming from the yard, his heart suddenly settled down, and at the same time he felt a little envious.
He put his hand on the door handle and thought for a while, but finally did not push the door. He hung the roast duck on the doorknob, knocked on the door and left.
Gu Xingzhou heard a knock on the door, ran to open it, and saw a familiar figure passing by at the corner. At one glance, he recognized that it was his father.
He doesn't know how to get along with this father now, so let it be.
Gu Xingzhou didn't call him. When he turned and entered the yard, he saw something hanging on the door. He opened it and saw a roast duck wrapped in oil paper. He felt a little different in his heart and picked up the hot duck and went into the yard.
"Who is it, Xingzhou?" Yang Mumu put the dishes on the table. When she saw him coming in alone with something in his hand, she smelled something. "Oh, is that roast duck in your hand? It smells so good!"
"Yes, a whole roast duck. Some guilty person secretly hung it at the door. The person has left." Gu Xingzhou picked up the duck, looked at it, and walked to the kitchen to deal with the duck in his hands.
It would be a waste if you don’t eat it, roast duck is so delicious.
At this time, the old man and the old woman remembered that they had a grown-up son waiting for them at home, who didn't know they had arrived. Now that the roast duck had been delivered, it didn't matter anymore. It didn't matter whether the person came in or not, as long as the roast duck was there.
The old lady shouted to Gu Xingzhou, "Xingzhou, do you have any peeled garlic at home? One bite of garlic and then a bite of roast duck will make it more delicious."
"Yes, Grandma Gu, I peeled a lot just now and they haven't used up all of them. I'll go get some." Wu Haiyang hurried in to get the garlic. Not to mention Grandma Gu, he also loved it.
The old man was even more excited and asked expectantly, "I want to dip it in chili powder, do you have any?"
Yang Mumu went to high-five the old man, "Grandpa, I also like to eat roast duck with chili noodles. I also made honey chili noodles before. I'll go get it."
The arrival of the roast duck did not bring them any unhappiness, but only added more happiness to them. It was not about the person, but the thing. There was nothing wrong with the roast duck, and eating it would make them feel happier.
We had a very happy lunch. After we cleaned up everything, we sat and chatted for a while. Wu Haiyang had to go do something else.
Yang Mumu and Gu Xingzhou carried some dry goods brought from the Haha Brigade and followed their grandparents back to where they lived.
On the way, Yang Mumu and Gu Xingzhou went to the post office to mail a few letters to their friends in the Haha Brigade. Yang Mumu also made a special phone call to briefly tell He Yuan about the job she had bought and asked her to pack up and come over first.
"Thank you, Mumu. I have already packed my things and can leave today. I will go buy the ticket now."
After saying that, He Yuan hung up the phone and ran to the train ticket agency.
Yang Mumu gave the money, and after Gu Xingzhou sent the letter, she asked him to sit beside her and wait for her grandparents to come home.
When I arrived at my grandparents' house, Gu Xiaoshan was still at home. He had already planted the vegetables in the yard and bought a lot of vegetables.
When they entered the yard, Gu Xiaoshan was squatting at the edge of the yard killing fish.
There was a small stove burning on the right side of me, with something stewing on it. I could tell it was chicken as I smelled it. A rich aroma of chicken soup wafted through the yard.
On the table on the left were some prepared dishes, a teapot and cups, and a plate of melon seeds and candies in the middle.
"Now that you're back, sit in the yard and drink some tea. I've almost finished cooking. Once the fish is killed, I'll start cooking. We'll have dinner early tonight."
Gu Xiaoshan has lost all shame. Knowing that the child will definitely come, he shamelessly stays here to work. He has already made up his mind. Even if the old man and the old woman drive him away, he will not leave. The best way is to bury his head in work.
He had to beg for peace with his son shamelessly, and he believed that his son's attitude would eventually soften.
So he washed his hands and poured four cups of tea, then ran back and sat down to scrape the black film on both sides of the fish's belly. He worked very hard, his hands never stopping, doing this and that, and taking on all the work. He didn't let them do even a little bit of work, and they were not allowed to get their hands dirty. If they got their hands dirty, he would get angry with them.
The old lady looked at the many dishes that had been prepared in the house and felt relieved:
"You look like a father now. You can do more work. Chop some more meat and cook some meatball soup. Mumu likes it. Then we can sit down and eat some melon seeds and chat."
The old man went into the house, took out the chess, set up the chessboard, and led his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to play chess. He said to Gu Xiaoshan, "Call us when it's time to eat."
"Okay, I'll call you guys when I'm done, have fun."
Gu Xiaoshan happily agreed and worked more enthusiastically. He was glad that he knew how to cook so he didn't have to stand there stupidly without knowing where to start.
