Tang Qing's parents and father-in-law specially cooked a table of delicious dishes for them in order to express their gratitude to Bao and Li Ya.
As a result, there were Director Liu on the big round table, policeman Xiao Wang and the underdogs, Pig Killer, Shanghai Aunt, Da Mao, Sha Gu, Shi Shiba and the eldest cousin swarmed over, including Carpenter Wang, the contractor and the little secretary.
He also brought his children to join in the fun, but the protagonist Bao asked about the couple and Li Ya disappeared.
Tang Qing stood up and looked for Bao Wenqing, his wife and Li Ya. When he walked to the kitchen door, Bao Wenqing came out with two bowls of hot dishes in his hands.
"Why are you so busy here?"
"Master Jiujin, I moved my muscles and bones. I have been lying in the hospital bed for more than a week and I feel uncomfortable all over."
"You are such a bitch!"
Tang Qing took the dish from Bao Wentan, turned around and shouted angrily into the hall:
"Empty-handed master, come and serve the food!"
"Hey, here it comes!"
Policeman Xiao Wang trotted over to serve the food.
"Hey, why did the director become an empty-handed master?"
"What do you mean by being empty-handed? Is there something interesting here?"
Sha Gu and Shanghai Aunt looked at the back of Policeman Xiao Wang and talked to themselves.
"Let me tell you, if Li Ya and Bao are not allowed to sit down at the table, neither of you are allowed to use chopsticks!"
"As you command, Master Jiujin!"
Policeman Xiao Wang stood there with two bowls of dishes and answered loudly.
"Small, why don't you bring the food in quickly?"
"Tell Master Jiujin, I can't take it away."
"You are not allowed to move your chopsticks, so you can't carry them away?"
"No, there is something new."
"What's going on?"
"Your hands are still on it."
Policeman Xiao Wang answered Tang Qing softly.
Tang Qing lowered his head and saw that his hands were tightly held on the vegetable bowl by Policeman Xiao Wang's big hands. He blushed and scolded Policeman Xiao Wang in a low voice:
"Let go, let go quickly."
"It can't be loosened. It's probably stuck because of the heat."
"Will you let go? Otherwise I will sue you for harassment."
"No, no, no, it's you who never let go."
"If you don't want Zhu Bajie to climb the wall, beat him up!"
"What are you two doing? Is the food too hot? I'll do it."
While Tang Qing and Police Officer Xiao Wang were scolding each other softly, Bao Qing came out of the kitchen.
Policeman Xiao Wang hurriedly raised his hands, and Tang Qing broke free of his hands and ducked into the kitchen.
"Master Jiujin, why is your face so red?"
Li Ya asked, standing in the kitchen watching Tang Qing's mother cooking.
"Am I blushing?"
Tang Qing unconsciously covered his face with his hands.
"Mom, your face is even redder than this fire. Did Police Xiao Wang bully you again just now?"
Xiaoqiang's little hand pointed at the blazing flame on the gas stove.
"Why did you come to the kitchen to cause trouble? Go out and play with Yingxin and Yingchun."
Tang Qing blushed even more when Xiaoqiang said this.
"Mom, Yingxin and Yingchun are still too young. It's better to give birth to a little sister for me than to play with them."
"What are you talking about? If your mother is an old woman, how can she give birth to a little sister?"
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm a few months older than you, and I'm still a young girl waiting to be married."
Li Ya interrupted.
"Yes, yes, you are still a young lady, but I am an old woman."
Tang Qing felt sorry for himself, his face returned to normal, and he naturally put down his hands to grab a bowl of vegetables that his mother had just cooked.
"Go, go, go, what kind of old woman? What kind of ruined flowers and willows? You never speak seriously. If you are an old woman, who am I?"
Tang Qing's mother held the spatula in her hand as if to hit Tang Qing's hand.
Tang Qing quickly retracted his hand that wanted to grab the vegetables and responded to his mother with a smile;
"I am an old woman, then you are the Queen Mother, hehe..."
"Old lady, I think you are younger than Xiaoqiang, and Xiaoqiang is more sensible than you. Quickly, go to the street and bring in the vegetables your eldest sister has washed."
"I have your order, Queen Mother!"
Tang Qing walked out of the kitchen and came to the tunnel. He saw that the woman Bao was still washing vegetables, and a lot of ingredients had been washed beside her.
"Sister, you go in and sit down, I'll wash it."
"Master Jiujin, it's better for me to do it, and you can accompany the guests."
"Sister, I'll come, you get up and go in and sit down to eat."
"Master Jiujin, do you think I didn't wash well enough?"
"Sister, how can you think like this? Do you know? My parents were specially entertaining you two and Li Ya for today's meal."
"Master Jiujin, I know that my uncle and aunt did not look down on me and my man, and they treated me like their own children, so I have to repay them well."
"Sister, there is no such thing as looking down on you. You are a good woman. Bao Wenwen even built a family by riding a rickshaw on your own two feet. You deserve our respect."
"Master Jiujin, I am satisfied to be able to live such a good life with him. If you can treat me as a member of the family, my heart is sweeter than honey."
"Sister, do you know? When Bao Wenwen gave 100,000 yuan to my father, I was really ashamed. I used to scold him all the time, but I never thought that it was him or you who took the initiative when I was in the most difficult time.
Help each other.”
"Master Jiujin, my man is usually arrogant and fussy, wishing he could break a penny in half. But his heart is not bad. He actually didn't do anything wrong before. He went to that place after meeting me, and it was just
Look at me."
"Sister, I already know. I know you are good, and I know how to inquire about it. If he doesn't care about everything, how can he save this money? Alas, we ordinary people live our lives. It seems that we have to be as careful as he is."
"Master Jiujin, although he usually seems stingy and greedy for money, he is also willing to spend money, willing to spend money for me, and willing to spend money for people he thinks are in need of help."
"I know that Director Liu has told me that he has been sponsoring several poor students in the past few years, and one of them is a child from the Southwest University you visited."
"Master Jiujin, during the summer vacation this year, those students said they would come to see him and me. They called me mom and him dad."
The woman's face turned red, filled with happiness.
"Mom, grandma asked you to bring the vegetables in quickly."
Xiaoqiang ran out of the kitchen and came over to urge Tang Qing.
"You take it in and give it to grandma. Mom and aunt will finish washing it together."
Tang Qing handed the washed ingredients to Xiaoqiang, and continued to talk to the woman who was inquiring while washing the vegetables:
"You can also have a child yourself. When do you plan to have it?"
"Master Jiujin, you are joking."
"I'm not joking. You are only in your early forties, and Bao is only in your early fifties. Logically, you should be able to do it."
"Master Jiujin, I, I, I..."
"What's the matter? Is there anything you can't say?"
"Master Jiujin, he, he, he..."
"Sister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask these questions, let's talk about something else."
"Master Jiujin, it's actually nothing. It's just, it's just, it's just that he and I can't have children in this life."
"Why?"
"Master Jiujin, you also know my past experience. I had a disease in my body. Although he helped me cure it, it is impossible for me to have another child."
The woman who inquired was choked with sobs, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Sister, I'm sorry, as long as he treats you well and you two live a good life, that's better than anything else."
"Master Jiujin, actually he is not in good health either. He has been ill since he was young."
"Really?"
"Well, he was hospitalized this time. He originally wanted to have a baby together. He and I both had that test, and the results turned out to be like this."
Bao asked the woman's tears rolling down, dripping into the sink for washing vegetables.
"Sister, I want to be more open-minded. After all, you are at this age. Even if you can give birth, there are still great risks."
"Master Jiujin, I stayed up all night with him last night and figured it all out. He said that he has children, and I also have children. Those poor students call me mom and dad. Aren't they all the children of me and him?
?”
"Yes, they are all your children. You have a group of good children. Sister, the dishes are washed. Go and wash your face. Go and sit down in the hall with Bao. I have an important announcement to make later!"
