Song Huaiqian pedaled his bicycle leisurely, admiring the scenery on the roadside, which was very interesting.
in the car.
Zhao Ruozhu said: "My dear, this is my nanny. During this period, I asked her to come to the family home to cook for you. You definitely don't know how to use that kind of stove."
Lin Yunyi also wanted to invite someone to cook at home, but if Xu Huandi was borrowed, wouldn't there be no one in the Yu family to cook?
Furthermore, the family could no longer live in the house, so Xu Huandi came to the family home to cook for them. It was troublesome to run back and forth in the morning and back in the afternoon.
"No need." Lin Yunyi thought for a while but refused, "Jingmo said in the morning that he would cook breakfast and dinner, and let us have something for lunch and make do. Huaiqian and I also used to cook, but after so many years If I don’t do it, I’ll be a little rusty.”
Zhao Ruozhu didn't force it, "Cheng Jingmo, this kid, really has nothing to say! He is excellent at work, and his home is in order. Nian Nian lives with him, and everything at home and outside depends on him!"
Lin Yunyi said: "Niannian is just not good at housework, but she is also very good in other aspects. Besides, if it weren't for Niannian, we would never recognize Jingmo again in this life."
Zhao Ruozhu also agrees with this.
If Yu Xiangnian hadn't been admitted to Beijing University, Song Huaiqian and his wife would never have met Cheng Jingmo in their lives.
Zhao Ruozhu and the others returned home carrying vegetables, while Yu Xiangnian and Lin were still sleeping.
Zhao Ruozhu opened the door to Yu Xiangnian's room and walked to the bed, "Niannian! Niannian!..."
After calling several times, Yu Xiangnian opened his eyes and muttered, "Mom, why are you here?"
Zhao Ruozhu lowered his voice and said, "Your parents-in-law came here from Beijing, and you just slept in and left them to dry. What does that sound like?"
Yu Xiangnian was still dozing off, so he closed his eyes again, "They don't care about this."
"Why are you so ignorant?!" Zhao Ruozhu said, "Your parents-in-law went out to buy groceries early in the morning. They bought all the groceries and you are still sleeping!"
"Ouch! Just let me take a nap and leave it alone!"
Yu Xiangnian pulled the quilt over his ears and continued to sleep.
Zhao Ruozhu: "..." helplessly shook his head!
That is to say, Song Huaiqian and the others don't care. If it were other parents-in-law, they would have been scolded all morning!
Zhao Ruozhu walked out of the bedroom, and Lin Yunyi had just put away the dishes and came out of the kitchen.
"There's no need to ask Niannian to get up. Xiaoye is still sleeping too. Young people are sleepy, so let them sleep a little longer." Lin Yunyi said without mind at all.
Zhao Ruozhu said in her heart, Nian Nian's blessing is so good!
"In-laws, I'll leave first, I have to go to the hospital to work."
"Okay, slow down on the road."
Yu Xiangnian didn't get up until it was almost time to sleep.
At this time, it’s time to make lunch.
Zhao Ruozhu bought a lot of vegetables, including fish, meat and green vegetables.
All five members of the family participated in making this lunch.
Yu Xiangnian lit up the fire and asked Xiaojie to stand at the door of the stove and take charge of setting up the fire.
Song Huaiqian was killing fish under the faucet in the small courtyard, and he looked very unskilled at first glance.
Normally, Cheng Jingmo would finish a fish in seven or eight minutes, but Song Huaiqian had been cooking it for almost twenty minutes and still hadn't finished it.
The belly of the fish had been cut open and its intestines were exposed, but it still fanned its tail and splashed water all over him.
Lin was also washing vegetables under the faucet. He was also splashed all over and laughed happily.
"Dad, knock it out first!"
Lin Ye said, picking up a stone next to him and knocking the fish unconscious.
Song Huaiqian raised his hand and wiped the water on his face with his sleeve, "Next time you kill the fish, you do it."
Yu Xiangnian cooked rice in the kitchen and steamed it in a steamer.
Lin Yunyi is responsible for cutting and cooking vegetables.
The five people worked for more than an hour and finally prepared lunch.
Fish in clear soup, stir-fried pork, chopped green onions and eggs, stir-fried water spinach, and three shredded salads, quite a sumptuous meal!
"I haven't cooked for a long time, and I don't know if the food is still edible. Please give it a try." Lin Yunyi said modestly.
Not only had Lin Yunyi not cooked for a long time, but she had never cooked since she returned to China.
In those years, she led an expedition team to eat and sleep outside all year round. Even when she returned to the base, she always ate in the same cafeteria.
Later, when they returned to Beijing, their superiors arranged for Xiao Jiang to take care of their daily needs, and she was no longer required to cook at home.
This cooking skill that had been lost for almost thirty years was unexpectedly picked up again in Nancheng.
Yu Xiangnian and Lin also took two bites each. No matter whether it was delicious or not, they all nodded and praised, "Yeah! It tastes very good!"
While eating, Lin couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law, where should we go to play after eating?"
Yu Xiangnian: "Didn't you see how poisonous the sun outside is?"
"How boring are you at home?"
Yu Xiangnian: "You can ask Xiaojie to take you out to play."
Lin Ye looked at Xiaojie expectantly, and Xiaojie said, "Sister-in-law, we boys want to climb trees and play with slingshots. Can you play?"
"You're kidding!" Lin Ye said with disdain, "Today I will show you my absolute dominance in the slingshot world!"
Xiaojie said quietly: "Do you have a slingshot?"
Lin Ye: "..."
Lin Yunyi: "Washing the dishes before going to rule."
Lin Ye: "Oh."
In Nancheng in mid-July, the temperature was over 30 degrees at noon.
Song Huaiqian and Lin Yunyi took a lunch break for an hour, and then each read their own books without disturbing each other.
Lin Ye washed the dishes and ran out to play, while Yu Xiangnian was invited by Wang Hongxiang and others to their home to chat with them.
Cheng Jingmo received a call from the post office, asking him to go to the post office to pick up several large boxes.
Yu Xiangyang became a free laborer again, following him to move boxes home one by one.
The old couple looked at Cheng Jingmo in military uniform, and they became more and more satisfied.
Just at this time, Lin came back from playing and was sweating.
Lin Yunyi asked: "Where is Xiaojie? Aren't you going to play slingshot together?"
Lin Ye said distressedly: "They think I don't have a slingshot!"
"What's so difficult about this?" Yu Xiangyang said, "I'll make one for you tomorrow."
"Really?" Lin Ye's eyes shone, "That's right! Tomorrow is Sunday, you guys have a day off, and you can ride a bicycle with me!"
Song Huaiqian said: "Xiaoye, don't just think about playing all day long. Tomorrow we are going to go to your sister-in-law's house for a formal visit."
Song Huaiqian said to Xiang Yang again: "Xiang Yang, ask your parents if it would be convenient for us to visit home tomorrow?"
Yu Xiangyang: "Okay, uncle, I'll go home and ask them. They should be fine. If anything happens, I'll let you know."
"Okay, please."
"Then I'll leave first." Yu Xiangyang went back to work first.
Song Huaiqian asked Cheng Jingmo again, "The custom here in Nancheng is, what should you pay attention to when visiting your in-laws' home?"
Cheng Jingmo said: "I don't know much about it, there doesn't seem to be any special custom."
Song Huaiqian said: "Take care of these things tonight, and let's go like this tomorrow."
