"Sister-in-law, this is the roast duck I brought back from Beijing. It's a local specialty. I just brought one for you to try." Chen Lishu stopped the person and gave the roast duck she brought back to Zhao Guiying.
When the Wang brothers heard that there was roast duck, their eyes suddenly lit up and their eyes fell directly on the bag in Chen Lishu's hand.
"Then I would like to thank my siblings." Zhao Guiying took it with a smile and took the three children home.
Chen Lishu raised her hand to check the time and found that it was almost twelve o'clock. She turned around and asked Ruirui: "What do you want to eat for lunch? Mom will make it for you."
Ruirui raised her eyes and said very sensibly: "Mom, you must be tired from riding in the car, right? I'm not hungry, you can go and rest in the house."
Chen Lishu felt as if she had drunk honey. She couldn't help but go over and pinch his little face: "My son already knows that he feels sorry for his mother. It's okay. Let's cook porridge and two eggs. It's convenient and safe."
How about saving trouble?"
Rui Rui's eyes suddenly narrowed into a crescent shape, revealing a few small white teeth: "I like to eat the porridge made by my mother the most."
Being recognized for her craftsmanship, Chen Lishu couldn't help laughing and turned around and entered the kitchen.
It didn't take long for the porridge and eggs to be cooked. After the couple had lunch, Chen Lishu felt a little depressed. After telling Ruirui, she went back to the house to sleep.
When I woke up again, I found that the room was a little dark. I raised my watch and took a look, and found that I slept until after five o'clock in the afternoon.
Suddenly hearing a clanking sound coming from the direction of the kitchen, Chen Lishu got up and got out of bed.
"Son, go and wake your mother up, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night if you sleep too much." Gu Xingdong turned around and said while chopping meat.
Ruirui nodded and quickly put down the dough in his hand. As soon as he turned around, he saw Chen Lishu standing at the door and shouted: "Mom, are you awake?"
Chen Lishu was curious: "What are you two doing?"
"Dad said that the dumplings should be put on the bus and the noodles should be rolled out. I want to roll out the noodles for you."
Hearing Ruirui's words, Chen Lishu's eyes fell on Gu Xingdong's hands. Seeing that he had almost chopped the meat into minced meat, she suddenly felt dumbfounded: "Are you making meat stew or minced meat?"
Gu Xingdong doesn't cook much, so his cooking skills are naturally unfamiliar, but he doesn't really care: "I know this time, but I'll pay attention next time."
Chen Lishu went to wash her hands to help, but was stopped by Gu Xingdong: "Aren't you trying to take away the credit from us? Go sit in the room quickly."
Ruirui rubbed two flours on her face without realizing it. She raised her face and looked at Chen Lishu and suggested: "Mom, if you are bored, you can watch TV."
Seeing the serious expressions of the two men, Chen Lishu said cheerfully: "Okay, then I will wait for the meal."
For dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Xingdong made hand-made noodles, stewed meat, and roast duck bought by Chen Lishu. The family of three sat together, and Chen Lishu ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.
"The vacation I saved last time has been useless. This time I can take a month off. After I arrange the work on hand in the past two days, I can go home with you two to celebrate the New Year."
"Really?" Chen Lishu looked at him with a surprised look on her face. Gu Xingdong hadn't celebrated the New Year with them for two years.
As the saying goes, a break is better than a wedding, so the couple had a good intimacy at night. When Chen Lishu woke up the next morning, Gu Xingdong had already gone to the camp.
She will be returning to her hometown in two days, so she has to hurry up and arrange things in these two days.
After breakfast in the morning, Chen Lishu took Ruirui to the home of her teacher Chen Yinchu.
"I bought it in Beijing this time, and I just brought it over for my teacher and my wife to try."
In addition to the roast duck, Chen Lishu also bought some apples and oranges and handed them to Han Xiuyun.
"You kid is so thoughtful." Chen Lishu came over to see the couple. Han Xiuyun was very happy, especially when she saw that she came with Ruirui, she was even more happy.
"Hurry up and sit in the room. The little one is getting more and more handsome. Grandma is going to wash the apples for you." Han Xiuyun said, taking the things and going to the kitchen. After a while, he brought out a fruit plate with oranges and apples in it.
"Last time my second son came back, he brought some chocolates and cakes. I have never seen them before. Children should like them, so they are waiting for me to get them."
Chen Lishu watched her busy and did not refuse. She knew that Han Xiuyun was happy that she brought her children here.
Ruirui is well-behaved and sensible, and has a sweet mouth. It didn't take long to make Han Xiuyun and Chen Yinchu burst into laughter.
"Ruirui, do you want to learn Go and grandpa teach you?"
Ruirui couldn't help but be curious: "My father and Uncle Wu both play chess, but I have never seen Go."
Chen Yinchu stood up with a smile and quickly took out the Go game. After patiently explaining the rules to him, the grandfather and grandson soon began to play the game formally.
Chen Lishu went to help Han Xiuyun cook, and it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when she left after eating.
The next day, Chen Lishu went to Chen Guoping's house alone. After all, the last bidding matter was very troublesome, so Chen Lishu thought of paying a visit before the year.
When Chen Lishu knocked on the door, it was Sun Yongmei who opened the door.
"Hello, aunt."
Sun Yongmei still had some impression of her, she smiled and nodded and invited the person into the room: "Xiao Chen, please sit down. It's such a cold day. Please drink some hot water."
Seeing that she was about to pour water for herself, Chen Lishu said quickly: "Auntie, I'm not thirsty. Please don't bother me."
After saying that, he handed over the things in his hands: "I bought the roast duck in Beijing this time and brought it here for you and my uncle to try."
Sun Yongmei saw what she was carrying early in the morning. Those who could bring something over usually wanted to ask their old Chen for help. She had even thought about how to refuse in her mind, but when she heard that she brought it over
When the food was just roast duck, Sun Yongmei was stunned for a moment, and then her smile became more sincere.
"Quanjude's? I haven't eaten it in years. I remember eating it once when I went to Beijing with your uncle before the turmoil. Later, we were sent to Dabei together. It's hard to describe the days in those years."
Thinking of the past, Sun Yongmei couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"I heard our teacher say before that Uncle Chen has made outstanding political achievements in the local area."
"Then you don't know how much criticism he has suffered and how much pressure he has endured..."
Chen Lishu didn't stay at Chen Guoping's house for too long. She chatted with Sun Yongmei for a while and then left.
In the evening, when Chen Guoping came home from get off work, Sun Yongmei told him what happened at home that day.
Chen Guoping is mainly responsible for the manager. After the reform and opening up, the country's economy has developed rapidly, and his position has become even more important. More and more people come to make friends and give gifts.
Both husband and wife have a tough attitude and do not accept gifts from anyone. They have experienced such an era and cherish their current life even more. Especially Chen Guoping, who has worked hard for decades and is focused on revitalizing the economy and benefiting the people.
"By the way, Xiao Chen came over today and brought a roast duck. The child's consideration is not valuable, so I kept it."
