"Brother, set the table and eat."
As soon as Gong Wantang finished speaking, everyone stood up and prepared to eat.
"hiss!"
Gong Linglong supported herself on the sofa and stood up, but she was suddenly kicked in the stomach, and her face twitched in pain.
"Linglong, what's wrong?" Lu Nanzheng hurried forward.
Gong Linglong sat back on the sofa, baring her teeth towards her stomach, her voice rising: "Be quiet, if you kick me again, I won't eat and you will go hungry."
Lu Nanzheng: “…”
Zhou Lanqin hurried over. She usually talked to her daughter-in-law on the phone and knew that these three little ones were very naughty and a little different from other fetuses.
She quickly stepped forward to help rub her belly and soothe her restless grandchildren. "You three little darlings must be hungry. Don't kick your mother. Wait a minute, and grandma will serve you food right away."
Seeing that Gong Linglong's expression had eased, as if she had been appeased, Lu Nanzheng hurriedly said, "Lanqin, help Linglong sit down. I'll go serve the food."
"Bring Linglong a bowl of egg custard first. It's on the kitchen table. Bring it here quickly."
Zhou Lanqin helped her daughter-in-law to stand up and said, "Linglong, you should eat earlier in the future. You don't have to wait for everyone to eat together."
"I just ate an apple and I'm not hungry. They should not be hungry either." Gong Linglong felt helpless.
By the time all the dishes were served, Gong Linglong had already finished a large bowl of egg custard, and now she was drinking the mutton and radish soup that her grandfather had served her.
"I'm eating, stop kicking me."
Gong Linglong drank soup with one hand and patted the place where she was kicked with the other hand.
However, the naughty little fellow kicked her again in the same spot, this time even harder than before. Gong Linglong lowered her head and gritted her teeth: "Do you want to eat bamboo shoots and fried meat when you were born? If you want to, kick me again."
Another kick.
Zhou Lanqin watched from the side and saw her belly bulge with her own eyes. She was very amused: "This naughty boy, he seems to have understood, and he really did it again."
Gong Kaizhou took out a bottle of wine, his eyes narrowed with a smile as he said, "They are three clever little rascals."
"Hurry up and sit down and eat."
Gong Wantang brought the last vegetable dish to the table, sat down in the empty seat next to her daughter, and after inviting everyone else to eat, she immediately picked up her chopsticks and kept picking up food for her daughter.
"Mom, you eat, I'll do it myself."
My mother and mother-in-law took turns picking up the dishes, and the dishes in their bowls were piled up.
Gong Linglong was eating braised mandarin fish with gusto at the moment, and she said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, we brought a basket of mandarin fish and yellow croaker from Seoul. Grandpa caught them all in the river. You can take some back to eat, and also send some to Grandpa and Grandpa's family."
Zhou Lanqin had just seen it in the kitchen, and her mother-in-law had also told her about it. She smiled and responded, "Okay, your grandmother loves to eat mandarin fish, and they probably haven't eaten yellow croaker before. I'll give them a few to try."
"Dad, do you eat at work or cook at home?" Gong Linglong also took care of her father-in-law.
"I eat breakfast and lunch in the company cafeteria, cook dinner at home, and occasionally go to your grandparents' house for dinner."
Lu Qiuju and her sister are studying in a boarding school and only come back on weekends. Lu Nanzheng now lives alone.
"Dad, you should also bring some fish back to eat."
"No need, just get some for your grandparents. I'll just go over and have a meal." Since his divorce, Lu Nanzheng has gone back to visit his parents more often.
As they were talking, Han Ji was also picking food for Gong Wantang. He picked out a piece of lean bacon for her and said, "Wantang, did you buy this bacon at the state-owned store?"
"No, Linglong did it."
Seeing that he had eaten several pieces, Gong Wantang asked with a smile, "Do you like it?"
"Delicious." Han Ji really liked it. "A great dish to go with wine."
Gong Kaizhou and his son didn't like smoky dishes very much. Seeing that they liked it, they moved the dishes and placed the bowl of fried bacon with garlic leaves in front of him and Lu Nanzheng.
Zhou Lanqin also took a piece and said with a smile, "Linglong sent some bacon back by mail a while ago. I gave a strip to each of the two old men, and cut small pieces for the rest of the family. My dad likes it very much. He asked my mom to cut two slices every day and steam them, or stir-fry some dried vegetables for him to eat with wine."
"So grandpa likes it. If I had known, I would have mailed him some more."
Gong Linglong had thought that they might not like the smoky-flavored cured meats very much, so she didn't send too many, but she sent more air-dried ones.
"Linglong, there's no need to mail it. You can teach me how to make it later. I'll buy some smoked meat and send it to him." Zhou Lanqin didn't add trouble to her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, I smoked a lot of things this year, including bacon, sausage, bacon spare ribs, bacon pig's feet, bacon fish, and all kinds of things. I brought them all back today and will give some to the elders when we get back for the New Year."
"Okay, then you teach me next year." Zhou Lanqin said as she picked up some food for her.
After Lu Nanzheng and Zhou Lanqin finished their meal, they sat for a while and then went back. Han Ji went to the study to discuss things with the father and son of the Gong family.
Gong Wantang was busy with housework, while Gong Linglong was leaning comfortably on the sofa knitting a sweater. There was actually a TV installed at home, but she was not interested in the content played on TV, so she turned on the TV and let it play randomly.
After cleaning the kitchen, Gong Wantang went back inside to sort out other things. He soon came out and said to her, "Linglong, your parents-in-law sent a lot of things. Jingchuan's father sent a big crib and six cans of milk powder. Your mother-in-law sent all kinds of small clothes, shoes, diapers, blankets, and many other small things. This small room is full of them."
Her parents-in-law hadn't mentioned this just now. Gong Linglong put down the wool in her hand, slowly stood up and went to take a look.
Seeing that the elders had prepared everything, even more than she had, Gong Linglong gently touched her belly and said, "You three little ones are so lucky. You will have endless new clothes to wear, endless delicious food to eat, and endless toys to play with."
"Three children need a lot of changes of clothes. In the middle of winter, they don't dry easily after washing, so it's better to prepare more."
The mother and daughter sorted these things out and put them in the cabinet, then returned to the living room and sat down. They watched TV while knitting sweaters with their knitting knitting needles.
The men chatted in the study for nearly an hour. When Han Ji came out, there was a deep smile in his eyes. He walked to the sofa and said, "Wantang, I'll come over for breakfast tomorrow morning."
"good."
Gong Wantang didn't notice the look in his eyes and handed him the sweater she was almost finishing. "Compare the sizes and see if it fits?"
"Knitted for me?" Han Ji's eyes lit up.
Gong Wantang asked back, "You don't want it?"
"want."
Han Ji raised the corner of his mouth slightly and took the clothes.
