When Xu Wantang and her two children returned to the hospital, there was no danger and they arrived home smoothly.
Xu Wantang was relieved.
Even if the gangster was shameless, he would not be stupid enough to make a big deal out of this matter. After all, the other party was being unreasonable in this matter. If he made a big deal, he might be caught in the game, and the gain would not be worth the loss.
But Xu Wantang obviously underestimated how shameless the other party was.
Before hearing the news, Xu Wantang was making popcorn for the children in the kitchen.
The two children didn't even watch TV. Each of them moved a small bench and sat at the door of the kitchen, staring without blinking.
From time to time, Huzi would come over to help Xu Wantang add firewood to the stove pit, which was very sensible.
After Xu Wantang praised Huzi, he asked the little guy and Guoguo to sit at the door together.
Xu Wantang first put the yellow and dry corn into the iron pot, then poured in cooking oil to cover the corn kernels.
If there is butter, it will have a milky aroma and it will definitely taste better. However, it is not easy to get butter in this era, so you can only replace it with cooking oil.
Then, pour in a lot of white sugar.
Xu Wantang plans to make two flavors of popcorn: original and chocolate. He will make the original first.
Before stir-frying, Xu Wantang added a handful of dry firewood to the stove pit. After the fire became more intense, he kept stir-frying the corn kernels.
"Sister Tang, let me help you with the cooking. I'm very powerful!" Huzi suggested seriously.
"I also have the strength, and I can help." Guoguo also stood up.
"No, the oil in the pot will collapse on you. But don't worry, you will be able to help later." Xu Wantang said while waving the spatula.
Although Xu Wantang moved a stool and stood by the stove to cook when she was Huzi's age, that didn't mean that Huzi and Guoguo had to be like her.
Children are still inferior to adults in terms of mobility and reaction speed. If something happens, it will be too late to regret.
Chen Yue and Luo Xiaojuan's family only has one child. There are two adults in the family. Whoever's turn it is to cook is not the turn of these two children.
However, dangerous things cannot be done, and chores can be arranged for them, so that the two children can feel more involved.
After listening to Xu Wantang's words, the two children sat down with their backs straight, waiting for Xu Wantang to assign tasks to them.
After a while, there was a gentle sound from the pot.
"Look, it's blooming."
Xu Wantang asked the two children to watch from a safe distance. Among the golden corn kernels in the pot, one burst into a small white flower.
"Wow! Wow! It's really popcorn!"
"Wow! The corn is blooming! It's white and so beautiful! Sister Tang is so amazing!"
The two children exclaimed, looking at the popcorn in the pot, smelling the sweet smell in the air, and couldn't help but lick the corners of their mouths.
Guoguo looked at Xu Wantang, the admiration in her eyes almost overflowing.
Sister Tang is so amazing, she can do anything!
Guoguo tilted her head and thought: Sister Tang must be a fairy who fell from the sky. Her mother told her stories about fairies, saying that fairies are beautiful, hard-working and can do magic, and can do anything.
Isn’t this talking about Sister Tang?
Guoguo covered her mouth in surprise, feeling that she had discovered a shocking secret.
Xu Wantang couldn't help but smile softly when he saw the two children's excited expressions.
It turns out that raising children is such a fulfilling thing. The emotions that Zhao Youyou didn't experience in the last life can be experienced by these two children in this life.
Next, the golden corn kernels in the pot exploded one after another, and the hot oil in the pot also burst out from time to time. Xu Wantang quickly covered the pot.
There was a "cracking" sound from the pot, just like the firecrackers set off during the New Year.
The two children were so happy that they stared at the pot with bright eyes without blinking.
"I smell something sweet!"
"Me too, it smells so good!"
Xu Wantang pulled the two handles of the iron pot and shook it slightly to make the corn kernels in the pot heat more evenly.
After hearing that there was no movement, Xu Wantang opened the lid of the pot, and the steaming and fragrant popcorn came out of the pot.
Xu Wantang assigned the task to the two children, asking each of them to hold a small water scoop and put popcorn into the paper bag that Xu Wantang had folded.
The two children were very motivated when they heard that they had work to do. They counted the pieces one by one and put them into the paper bag, looking very rigorous.
However, Huzi can count, but Guoguo can't. He often counts from 2 to 13 at once. Although Huzi is helpless, he still helps Guoguo to find out the truth very responsibly.
Xu Wantang was very happy. After looking at the two children for a while, he got up to make another pot of chocolate-flavored popcorn.
Luo Xiaojuan came at this time.
She knocked on the door first, and then ran in quickly without waiting for Xu Wantang to answer.
The door to the room was unlocked, so Luo Xiaojuan was so anxious that she pushed the door open and came in.
"Sister! Have you offended Mr. Xie?"
Luo Xiaojuan asked as soon as she came in.
Xu Wantang was a little confused, but then he came to his senses, "Xie Laoer is the fat man with a thick appearance and a lot of acne on his face?"
"Yes! That's him!"
"Oh, it's not that I offended him, it's that he offended me." Xu Wantang continued to be busy with the work in hand, and said calmly.
Now he was in the family courtyard, not on a remote road where no one had passed just now, so Xu Wantang was not afraid of him.
"He and his father are bricklayers from Liandao. They came to my house to build a wall. His father just called my house and said that a woman had hurt his son's life. He didn't know who you were. He only knew that you led Huzi, Huzi is my child, so you called me and asked me to contact you."
"He said he was waiting for you at the gate of the family home. If you don't come out, he will wait until you come out." Luo Xiaojuan continued, "I asked Chen Yue to go to the gate to check the situation, but he hasn't come back yet."
Luo Xiaojuan looked at Xu Wantang's fair profile and sighed suddenly, "It's definitely not your fault. To thank the second child for his lecherous behavior, he must have acted like a rogue to you."
"This Xie Laoer is not an easy man. I heard that he can flirt with all the girls and widows on Liandao. But his father is the only bricklayer on Liandao. He is considered a wealthy family on the island. He is afraid of calling the police. His family was afraid of retaliating and tarnishing their reputation, so they had no choice but to let it go."
Xu Wantang listened and put the lid on the pot, "It's okay. If he wants to wait, just wait there. Don't care about him."
Luo Xiaojuan said worriedly, "Sister, as the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If he spreads it randomly, you..."
Xu Wantang snorted coldly, "Then go to jail, and they will go together."
