Two hours later, Huo Chengan came back with the old man. It was obvious that the old man and Huo Chengan were different.
The old man washed himself clean this time and changed into clean clothes.
The beard was also shaved off, and the long, slightly greasy hair was also cut off.
Neat and tidy, it looks energetic.
He was actually talking and laughing with Huo Chengan.
"You promised me to play chess, and you'll play chess when you get home."
Like a child, he pestered Huo Chengan. It was obvious that the atmosphere between the two people was different.
Huo Chengan nodded and took the basin from the old man's hand.
"Okay, let's go home and have dinner first. After dinner, I will play chess with you."
The old man was stunned by this unexpected answer. Then he thought about it and finally compromised after thinking about dinner.
"Okay, let's play chess after dinner."
Zhang Xiuying heard them entering the door and greeted them hurriedly.
"An'an, quickly set up the table in the yard, let's eat in the yard, it's such a hot day.
It's cool to eat in the yard. "
Shen Anan agreed readily and hurriedly moved the original small square table out of the house.
Put the table at the door of the kitchen.
Four more small benches were moved.
When Huo Chengan saw it, he hurried over to help. Shen Anan said to himself,
“It would be great if we could plant grape trellises here, so that in the summer it would be cool to sit under the grape trellises and eat.
And seeing the abundant fruits of the grapes, I must be in a very good mood. If I can sit under the grape trellis to enjoy the cool after dinner. "
"Okay, I'll go find you a grape plant tomorrow, and I'll definitely build a grape trellis for you when I get back."
Huo Chengan promised.
I have missed a lot, and I must also make efforts to build this home.
Otherwise, one day he will tell his children that everything in the house was not bought with the help of him as a father.
He would feel guilty if he thought about it like that.
"Oh, forget it if you can't find it, but grape trellises should be very common in this place, right?"
This is the famous Turpan Basin, which is where grapes should be produced.
"Yes, grapes are everywhere here, and our army has a production team dedicated to growing grapes."
They belong to the military reclamation area.
When the troops entered the production area, they first started reclamation and then cultivated fields.
Before the two of them could continue talking, Zhang Xiuying had already brought out the food.
"It's such a hot day. I think it's too hot to eat. Let's eat cold noodles today."
Everyone got excited when they heard about the cold noodles. Indeed, the weather got hot at noon and it was impossible to eat a mouthful of food.
Shen Anan has also had a hard summer these past two days, so she has lost a lot of weight.
The old man was obedient and sat down at the table.
He watched helplessly as a large bowl was placed in front of him.
Or a coarse porcelain ocean bowl.
However, the hand-rolled noodles are chewy, white and even.
The most important thing is that this noodle will make everyone appetizing.
The white noodles are topped with rich vegetables.
Green shredded cucumbers, shredded carrots, tender yellow bean sprouts, and white shredded chicken.
Pour the sesame sauce mixed with various condiments, then sprinkle with chopped green onions and coriander, and finally pour a few spoons of spicy and bright red chili oil.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped peanuts.
Basically all the colors and flavors are available.
When the old man saw the big bowl, his mouth immediately split.
He is so receptive to Zhang Xiuying, even if he calls her Aunt Zhang Xiuying.
But the ultimate reason why Zhang Xiuying does whatever she is asked to do is because Zhang Xiuying's cooking skills are so good.
His fake daughter is really useless.
He has a clear opinion about his cooking skills, so of course he listens to Zhang Xiuying's words.
You know, when I first saw Zhang Xiuying, I was afraid of taking away my daughter.
Every day she faced all kinds of rejection and disdain from Zhang Xiuying.
But now she has long been accustomed to Zhang Xiuying's existence, and she will do whatever Zhang Xiuying asks her to do immediately.
Huo Chengan mixed the noodles well, smelled the aroma of the noodles, and couldn't help but say.
"Mom, the cold noodles you make are so delicious."
"Stop talking so much and eat quickly!
You have been out doing tasks, and you must have not eaten well or slept well in the past half month. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. "
"After eating, go and have a rest."
The mother-in-law feels sorry for her son-in-law.
Huo Chengan immediately agreed with a smile,
"Okay, Mom, I'll go to bed after eating."
The old man quit immediately.
"No, you promised to play chess with me, but you want to keep your promise."
Looking at the old man's sad eyes, Huo Chengan said hurriedly,
"Play chess with you, play chess with you, play two games with you and then we go to bed, okay?"
The old man burst into tears and laughed.
Shen An'an watched Huo Chengan gorge himself on a large bowl of noodles. When he saw that the bowl was empty, Huo Chengan still had some unfinished thoughts.
He stood up and said,
"Give me the bowl."
Huo Chengan waved his hands hurriedly,
"I'll go by myself, and I need your help. Please sit down and eat your food."
"Just give it to me, it's just something I'm comfortable with."
You couldn't tell that Huo Chengan was very tired after taking the bowl from his hand.
After taking a shower today, it was obvious that Huo Chengan felt tired as if he had relaxed at home.
Although this man doesn't say it, he can feel it.
Huo Chengan watched Shen Anan go to the kitchen to serve noodles for him, with a knowing smile on his face. His wife would love him now.
I remember that when they first met and got along, the way they got along was not like it is now.
It seems that there is no life as a couple, but they are becoming more and more like a couple.
When Shen Anan served him another bowl of noodles, he handed it to Huo Chengan and patted his shoulder.
It turned out that Huo Chengan's shoulders quietly moved to the side, avoiding his contact.
Shen Anan raised her eyebrows.
Huo Chengan hurriedly gave her a hand.
"Sit down and eat quickly. Why are you so stunned?"
Sure enough, Shen Anan followed his arm and sat down directly.
The family finished the meal talking and laughing.
Originally, Huo Chengan was going to finish clearing the dishes and then play chess with the old man.
But just after eating, the old man took the person away.
The father and son were sitting at the small stone table next to them, playing chess, while the mother and daughter were washing dishes in the kitchen.
Zhang Xiuying sighed while washing the dishes.
"When will the old man find his family?"
Shen Anan smiled and said,
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Do you still dislike the old man?
He is like a long-term worker. How much work does he do for our family? "
"You are not doing this right. You are preparing to demolish the bridge as soon as you cross the river."
Zhang Xiuying rolled her eyes at her daughter and said.
"Whoever dislikes him, he will live here for the rest of his life, and it's not like our family can't afford to support him.
I mainly think that you two are husband and wife after all, how can you live apart like this all the time.
The couple has never lived together since they got married. What does this mean? "
"You are not young, and Xiao Huo's age is very important. Let's get together earlier and have a baby sooner. I can help you take care of it."
Shen Anan immediately blushed.
"Mom, what are you in a hurry for?"
"Can I not be in a hurry? If your father saw your child underground, he would probably be able to close his eyes."
Zhang Xiuying put away the dishes and went back to the house with a worried look on her face.
You know, Huo Chengan will sleep with the old man tonight.
