"Xiaozhou, I think Xinyan's condition has improved a lot recently. Your dad and I want to go back for a while." Early that morning, Wu Zhou's mother saw Wu Zhou and pulled Wu Zhou aside.
Then he said with a little embarrassment.
The daughter-in-law's child is still pregnant, so it's time for them to help.
But if you don’t go back now, will you go back later after your daughter-in-law gives birth? Then there is a high probability that there will be even less time.
With just a few words, Wu Zhou understood his mother's thoughts and felt guilty.
During this period, I have been busy with work and taking care of Han Xinyan.
I have less time to spare, and of course I have less communication with my parents.
Moreover, it is obviously a normal request, but I am still their child...
"Mom, go back if you want."
"In previous years, we would go back during the summer vacation. If we don't go back this year, your grandparents have been talking about it many times."
"Well, grandpa, grandma, and grandma are getting older too. If you and Dad really have time, just visit them more."
"You don't have to worry about Xinyan and I. We can just hire a nanny when the time comes. Xinyan is in good condition now. The nanny will be responsible for daily cleaning and cooking. She doesn't need much care. "Wu Zhou said one after another to comfort his mother's worries.
Upon hearing her son's promise, Wu Zhou's mother instantly burst into laughter.
After saying a few words, I saw her making a video call to her grandmother and wanted to share the good news immediately.
"Mom, I'll go back in a few days. I'll buy you some clothes here for you and Dad."
"No need, it's a waste of money. Your dad and I both have clothes, and there are a lot of new clothes... Just come back. Will Xiaozhou come back?"
"Xiaozhou isn't coming back. Xinyan is pregnant. He has a lot of things to do in the company, so he doesn't have time."
"Yes, Xiaozhou is about to go out, so be busy, be busy. How is Xinyan's health..."
I had considered hiring a nanny before, but due to busy schedules and the strong requests from my parents, this matter has been delayed.
Now that my parents are leaving, obviously the nanny can't delay.
It's easy to recruit people in first-tier cities, but in Yuncheng, a third- and fourth-tier city...
It’s really hard to recruit...
Before Wu Zhou's parents left, they contacted some "old friends" in the community to help recommend any reliable and suitable nannies.
Wu Zhou was not idle either and found some intermediary companies to help recommend them.
But mostly…. Um....... Or that's inappropriate.
Until Wu Zhou's parents went home, the family was still undecided.
Wu Zhou's parents wanted to postpone their return home for a while, but Wu Zhou drove them back.
"My parents are not at home, and it feels like the house has become a lot empty all of a sudden..."
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
"I don't know, don't ask me." Han Xinyan just covered her ears.
During this period of time, she had no appetite for anything, so what to eat was what worried her the most. She even thought about having a zipper on her belly so that she could pour the food in when it was time to eat.
"Song Fei said she wanted to come and see me."
"That's just right. Let's go out to eat together."
After saying that, Wu Zhou put away his phone and closed the external app.
"Let's go out to eat!" I looked around on the takeout app, but I didn't see anything suitable. Moreover, most of the takeaways nowadays are actually pre-made dishes, high in salt and sugar. So if I can't eat it, I won't eat it...
The community is a high-end community, and the surrounding housing prices are not low, so there are many high-end Western restaurants and Japanese food nearby.
But before, mom and dad were always thinking of ways to cook fresh dishes, and Han Xinyan was suffering from severe pregnancy reactions, so she had never been to these restaurants.
The two of them held hands and walked around, thinking that if they liked the restaurant, they would try it.
"I heard from Lin Xian that the steak here is good." Han Xinyan suddenly pointed to a Western restaurant.
He and Lin Xian attended classes together several times. After getting acquainted, the two became good friends.
They were both pregnant women and had many topics in common. When chatting, Han Xinyan said that she didn't know what to eat, and Lin Xian recommended many places to eat.
She also claimed that she had been to almost all the delicious places in Yuncheng.
"Then this one."
Afraid that Song Fei would not be able to find a place, the three of them entered the restaurant together when Song Fei arrived.
Song Fei and Han Xinyan had been holding hands and sitting next to each other since they met.
Wu Zhou sat across from them and ordered food, while the two of them continued to chat.
Soon after, the dishes were served.
There was soup and steak, but the knife hadn't arrived yet. Wu Zhou took a sip of the soup and it tasted okay.
I was continuing to eat, but I felt something was wrong with the atmosphere. Han Xinyan, Song Fei and others are quiet?
Then I saw a waiter holding a wooden box. When I got closer, a string of English words came up.
Han Xinyan and Song Fei looked at each other, slightly confused, "If you don't understand English in this restaurant, you can't eat in it?" "
They could also hear a little bit of what this person was talking about...
Although the fourth level has been passed, it is just a formality.
As for Wu Zhou... English is not much better, and language subjects are of no use to the current Wu Zhou.
Moreover, this is obviously in China, so speak English.
Turning around and taking a closer look, the waiter also had a Chinese face.
Then Wu Zhou raised his hand and asked, "Are you Chinese? Can you speak Mandarin?" Wu Zhou was not polite.
The waiter didn't care, then he smiled and bowed, turned around and left.
Soon after, a waiter changed, but he was still holding the wooden box in his hand. "Sir, Madam, let me introduce you to the table knife."
As he spoke, he opened the wooden cover, revealing a row of knives of different shapes.
This is a tradition, or 'differentiation', of their restaurant, and they will do this to all guests who come.
But Wu Zhou shrugged and was not interested. "There's no need to go to such trouble, just give us the ordinary one."
In Wu Zhou's eyes, the most important thing in a restaurant is the food. As long as the food is good, these frivolous things are not necessary.
But the waiter continued, "Please let me introduce, these table knives have their own historical origins."
Wu Zhou continued, "It doesn't matter, whatever you want is fine."
The waiter insisted again, "Let me introduce you and the two ladies."
Then he looked at Han Xinyan and Song Fei.
Han Xinyan turned to Wu Zhou, with a look of helplessness on her face, feeling that this man was too naughty.
Customers are God. They are all hungry and want to eat early, but this waiter is so ignorant that he insists on forcing them to listen to the 'restaurant culture'.
Wu Zhou also felt a little impatient. "Okay, you say."
The waiter pointed to one of them and said, "This knife with a blue handle comes from France and was given by Napoleon..."
Wu Zhou immediately interrupted the waiter: "Which life is Napoleon? Napoleon I or Napoleon III?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, "Ah... this... I'm not sure."
Song Fei also interjected at this time: "If we don't figure it out, how will we choose?"
Han Xinyan nodded in agreement.
The waiter looked at the three people and felt a little sweat on his forehead.
Then he pointed to a set of knives next to him: "Then you can choose this one. This one has a wooden handle from Germany and has a long history."
Wu Zhou continued to ask, "Same age? How does it compare with Napoleon?"
The waiter replied, "They are all from the same period." He was a little cautious when he said it.
But Wu Zhou asked again in a doubtful tone: "Really? After the Franco-Prussian War, William I was crowned in the Palace of Versailles. At that time, Germany had just been established and Napoleon III had fallen. Therefore, the time between the two did not match. Well, how could it be at the same time?"
The waiter smiled slightly awkwardly, obviously this was another blind spot in his knowledge.
However, Wu Zhou did not continue to embarrass him.
“I know your restaurant wants to be different from other Western restaurants and has more cultural heritage. Maybe other customers like this, but everyone’s needs are different. I just like simple and straightforward orders, as long as the dishes are good. "
The waiter nodded, and then said no more. He was no longer nagging now.
Wu Zhou and the three of them picked out the table knives they liked before finally starting to eat.
Lin Xian's recommendation is indeed okay and tastes good.
