Mother Wu was a little unhappy when she saw that her husband wanted to steal her granddaughter from her:
"What hug?"
"Hurry up and help Mingzhe move the suitcase in!"
"Oh, got it!"
Father Wu stretched out his finger, gently touched his granddaughter's little hand and said.
Unexpectedly, Wu’s mother reprimanded her again:
"Have you washed your hands? Just touch our little baby with your dirty hands!"
After speaking, Mother Wu said to Wu Fei and Su Mingyu who wanted to help:
"Feifei, Mingyu, let's go into the house. Just let Mingzhe and Dad take these luggages!"
After entering the living room, she held the child in front of Su Mingyu:
"Mingyu, come and give us a hug!"
Su Mingyu rubbed her hands nervously and asked Wu Fei:
"Where is the bathroom at sister-in-law's house? I'm going to wash my hands!"
"I'll take you there!" After saying that, Wu Fei took Su Mingyu to wash her hands.
Su Mingyu washed her hands well in the bathroom, and then came out and gently took her niece:
"Xiaomi, Xiaomi, I am aunt!"
Xiaomi was also very considerate and did not cry when a stranger hugged her.
"Ouch!"
"Ouch, what is it!" It turned out that the three of them were paying attention to Xiaomi.
Tie Hammer ran over, and Wu's mother didn't pay attention and touched Tie Hammer's foot while walking.
Wu Fei heard the cry of Hammer, touched the dog's head to comfort Hammer, and explained to the two of them:
"This is the dog Mingzhe and I raised, his name is Hammer!"
When Wu's mother heard the name, she glanced at her daughter and said nothing.
Su Mingyu had no time to care about this. She was now fully focused on her little niece.
At this time, Su Mingzhe and Wu's father also moved in their suitcases.
After washing his hands in the bathroom, Wu's father also came over and looked at the child kindly.
After Su Mingyu saw Father Wu coming over, she handed the child over:
"Uncle, please give me a hug!"
Father Wu clumsily took the child. Looking at his lovely granddaughter, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her gently.
Originally, when Father Wu first hugged her, Xiaomi was still very proud and didn't cry.
But after Wu's father kissed her, Xiaomi's little friend didn't have a good temper this time. The main reason was that she felt that this man's beard was irritating and she didn't know him yet. So I burst into tears.
Upon seeing this, Wu's mother quickly took the child over and couldn't help scolding:
"Old Wu, please be gentle, you are making the child cry!"
After saying that, she felt a little distressed and began to coax her granddaughter:
"Oh, if our little one doesn't cry, it's all because of your grandpa. If you kiss our little one without shaving, next time grandpa doesn't shave, we won't let him hug you!"
Su Mingzhe looked at his father-in-law, who was a little guilty, and said to his mother-in-law:
"Mom, the child is not so squeamish. He is probably hungry!"
After speaking, he gave Wu Fei a wink.
Wu Fei also quickly said:
"Yes, Mom, Mingzhe is right. Xiaomi is hungry. I'm going to make some milk powder for the baby!"
Father Wu secretly made up his mind that the first thing he would do when he got up in the future would be to shave, for fear of injuring his child.
After getting the milk powder, Wu Fei and her sister Su Mingyu fed the little girl together.
"Mom and Dad, let's go out to eat at noon?" Su Mingzhe looked at his somewhat guilty father-in-law, and finally looked at his mother-in-law sitting on the sofa and changed the subject.
Mother Wu shook her head:
"It's better to eat it at home. I can't get used to that steak. It's undercooked and still bloody!"
Su Mingzhe nodded:
"Then I'll cook later, and you can try my cooking too!"
"Mom and Dad, you've had a long day's work, go upstairs and rest for a while. I'll call you when the meal is ready. You can stay in the same room as before!"
Wu’s mother did not agree:
"Take your dad to sleep for a while. He didn't sleep much on the plane. I slept well on the plane. I'll cook the food!"
"Mom, let me cook something casually. You are the main force in tonight's New Year's Eve dinner. You must have a good rest, otherwise it will affect your performance!"
Su Mingzhe said with a smile.
Mother Wu thought for a moment and agreed:
"Okay, I'll go up and take a nap first. Don't tell me, I'm really tired from the plane ride!"
"Old Wu, go upstairs and sleep for a while. You didn't sleep on the plane!"
Wu's mother stood up and patted her husband's shoulder.
"Okay!" Wu's father and Wu's mother went upstairs to rest together.
Here, after feeding Xiaomi, Wu Fei put the baby to sleep:
"Mingyu, please go up and sleep for a while. Let your elder brother take you there. The sheets and quilts are all brand new!"
Su Mingyu was actually not sleepy yet, but she did not refute Wu Fei's kindness:
"Okay, then I'll go up and sleep for a while!"
After saying that, she stood up and asked Su Mingzhe to take her to the guest room on the second floor.
Su Mingyu looked around while walking on the stairs. Her attention had been on her little niece just now:
"Brother, it seems you have made a lot of money!"
Su Mingzhe said modestly:
"Good luck, good luck, the stocks I bought before have gone crazy!"
Su Mingzhe didn't rush to cook when he came back downstairs. He planned to wait a while to let them sleep a little longer.
When he came to the living room and lay down on the sofa next to his wife, Su Mingzhe also felt a little sleepy. After all, he got up very early this morning.
Wu Fei lifted her husband's head and placed it on her lap.
Su Mingzhe changed his position and closed his eyes comfortably.
Wu Fei still chirped a piece of hair and "pierced his ears" for her husband.
After a while, Su Mingzhe fell asleep. Wu Fei gently raised her husband's head, got up and put the sofa cushion under his head.
Then he found a blanket to cover him.
Su Mingzhe probably got up after sleeping for more than an hour.
Wu Fei, who was sitting nearby, saw Su Mingzhe wake up:
“Husband, let’s cook for my parents, Mingyu!”
"Just make some noodles. There will be a big dinner tonight!" Su Mingzhe said.
Then Su Mingzhe went to work in the kitchen, while Wu Fei looked after the children in the living room.
After making the noodles and putting them on the table, Su Mingzhe saw his sister Su Mingyu coming down:
"Mingyu, you are hungry, you eat first!"
Su Mingyu yawned:
"It's better to wait for uncle and the others!"
Just at this time, Wu Fei also came over holding Xiaomi who had already woken up, and handed the child to Su Mingyu:
"Mingyu, please help me look after the child for a while. I'll go upstairs and call my parents for dinner!"
Su Mingyu hugged Xiaomi:
"Okay, sister-in-law, go ahead and leave the little one to me!"
Wu Fei went upstairs and called her parents down for dinner.
After eating, Wu's mother, Wu Fei and Su Mingyu cleaned up the kitchen together.
Xiaomi was held by Father Wu in the living room. Father Wu specially shaved his beard when he came down just now, so Xiaomi did not cry this time, but kept smiling and pinching her grandpa's nose with her little hands.
"Mom, how many dishes should we have for New Year's Eve dinner today?"
Su Mingzhe asked, leaning on the refrigerator.
"Family portrait casserole, stir-fried shrimps, grilled crucian carp with green onions, braised pork, Sixi grilled bran, pickled fresh vegetables, fried shrimps, eight-treasure duck, lion's head, buckwheat noodles, fried spring rolls, and here is a shredded eel, 12 dishes in total!”
Mother Wu counted them on her fingers and said.
Su Mingzhe thought about the ingredients in the refrigerator:
"I have to go to the vegetable market later. There are some ingredients I don't have at home. What do I need?"
Mother Wu nodded:
"Mingzhe, let me make a menu for you. You can buy according to the menu. It will be more convenient!"
After saying that, I took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner on the kitchen window sill.
"That's okay, wife, is there anything you want to eat?"
Su Mingzhe asked Wu Fei again.
"Buy some drinks, we don't have any at home!" Wu Fei thought for a moment and said.
Su Mingzhe drove to a nearby Chinese supermarket with the menu written by his mother-in-law, bought the ingredients and then went home.
PS: I have never had New Year’s Eve dinner in Shanghai. I searched this online. I don’t know if it is a Shanghai specialty!
