Chapter 189: Reunion Dinner
On the table, several dishes overflow with steaming heat and the aroma of food.
At the dining table, the old lady leaned over, pinched the chopsticks in her hand, looked at the dishes on the table with a smile, and the people sitting around the table,
“...... It's not easy for us to sit down and have a meal together, and the last time we did this was many years ago. It's a pity, your dad isn't here anymore......"
As she spoke, the old lady shook her head,
“...... Don't talk about that, eat all the vegetables, eat them all. ”
“...... Oh, Mom. ”
Chen Deyi, who was sitting beside him, nodded, answered, took the chopsticks and picked up the bowl, sandwiched the chopsticks and preserved eggs mixed with tofu, and ate it.
"How does it taste?" asked the old lady with chopsticks and her arm on the edge of the table.
"It's good. ”
“...... It's a pity that Mom's body bones really can't move, otherwise Mom will do it for you herself. The old lady looked at her little son and said.
"Mom, you can eat with us, it's enough......" Chen Deyi shook his head and replied, as he spoke, he put chopsticks and preserved eggs mixed with tofu into the old lady's bowl, "Mom, you can also take a bite and taste the taste." ”
"Okay, mom eat, mom eat......" Looking at her little son, the old lady smiled, moved her hand holding the chopsticks with some effort, and picked up the tofu in the bowl,
The old lady's hands trembled, and she lowered her head with some difficulty to pick up the tofu dragged on the chopsticks in her hand.
"Smack......
Before her hand reached her mouth, the tofu on the chopsticks in the old lady's hand fell back into the bowl.
Looking at the tofu in the bowl, the old lady paused, then straightened up again, and turned her head to look at her youngest son,
"Mom is old...... the old lady smiled, her hand on the side of the table shaking with her chopsticks.
"Mom, you're not old, you still have to watch your great-grandson be born and grow up......" Chen Deyi's eyes turned red,
"I can't see it, I can't see it......"
"Xiaqin, which spoon to come over, which spoon to give to Mom. Chen Deyi turned around in a bit of a panic and said to his wife.
"Don't bother Xiaqin, she's worked hard too. The old lady shook her head,
"I'll go, I'll get it, Mom, I'll get ......it," said Chen Deyi, who was about to get up.
"Deyi......" The old lady called softly, stopping Chen Deyi, "Mom, just look at your food, it's enough......"
Chen Deyi paused, and then said,
"Mom, I'll feed you......"
As he spoke, Chen Deyi picked up the chopsticks dish again and carefully handed it to his mother's mouth.
The old lady looked at her youngest son and nodded with a smile,
"Good, good ......"
As he spoke, he opened his mouth, ate a mouthful of food, and slowly chewed it in his mouth.
......
"Eat them all......" Chen Deyi turned his head and said to the people sitting around the table.
Hearing the sound, his wife Xiaqin took the chopsticks, and his brother Chen Maoren also picked up the chopsticks.
The old lady's grandchildren and daughters-in-law glanced at the few people at the table, picked up the chopsticks, and carefully picked up the dishes and ate them.
Only Chen Maoren's wife, Tao Jiahui, glanced at the dining table from time to time, glanced at the old lady and her brother-in-law, tilted her head to the side, snorted coldly, and looked sneering,
"I'm ...... this meal" said strangely, and was about to say something out of place,
On the side, Chen Maoren stretched out his foot and immediately kicked Tao Jiahui,
"What are you doing!" Tao Jiahui's eyes widened, and she made a gesture to get up and attack.
But at this moment, the old lady slowly turned her head and looked directly at her.
Suddenly, Tao Jiahui's voice gradually weakened, and under the old lady's frightening gaze, she sat down, her face was calm, she reluctantly took the chopsticks, and did not dare to make another sound.
Seeing this, the old lady turned her head, and several people at the table also withdrew their gaze,
......
“...... Xiaqin, I've worked hard for you for so many years. The old lady looked at Xia Qin and said with a smile,
"Mom, it's all a family, so there's no need to talk about it. The middle-aged woman Xia Qin shook her head and said.
"Yes, family, family......" The old lady heard the sound and repeated with a smile,
"Xiaqin, try this Governor Tofu, this is your favorite dish. ”
"Okay, mom......" Xiaqin took the bowl and chopsticks, answered, took the chopsticks tofu, and ate it.
Seeing this, the old lady smiled and withdrew her gaze.
......
Turning her head, the old lady looked to the other side, to the other son.
Looking at Chen Maoren, the old lady didn't speak.
"Mom......" Chen Maoren looked at his mother, with mixed emotions, and shouted.
“...... Maoren, you've been an honest kid since you were a child, but sometimes you're too honest. The old lady looked at Chen Maoren and shook her head as she spoke.
Chen Maoren looked at his mother, and his emotions became more and more complicated.
"Mom doesn't blame you...... Let's eat, this chicken is a dish you have loved to eat since you were a child...... When you were a child, your family was poor, and it was rare to eat back meat, and the family basically raised it either to keep the eggs, or to sell them, and you can only eat it once during the New Year's holidays, and when Deyi grows up, you also let him, eat what he likes to eat......"
"Mom......" Chen Maoren's eyes were a little red, "Mom, you eat first, I'll feed you ......"
As he spoke, Chen Maoren picked up the chicken and handed it to his mother's mouth.
The old lady looked at Chen Maoren, opened her mouth as well, and ate the dish he handed to her mouth.
The chicken was obviously more laborious to eat, but the old lady chewed it anyway and swallowed it reluctantly.
......
“...... Xiaoyuan, this sour and spicy shredded potato is what you like to eat. When you were young, when you came to eat at your grandmother's house, every time you had a dish, you had to eat more, and every time your belly was swollen. The old lady turned her head, looked at Chen Maoren's son, her grandson, and said with a smile,
"Although you didn't come much later when you got older, Grandma still remembers...... Try it and see if any grandma makes it delicious. ”
Hearing this, the old lady's grandson looked at the old lady, his expression was a little complicated, hesitated, took the chopsticks, took the chopsticks and shredded potatoes, and ate it.
“...... You don't have a good make. The old lady's grandson looked at the old lady and said,
Hearing this, the old lady laughed, and seemed to be very happy,
"Grandma's cooking is better than other chefs?"
"Grandma, you make shredded potatoes more fragrant...... the old lady and grandson spoke, slowly lowered her head again, and became silent,
"Grandma, I'm sorry......"
The old lady and grandson blamed themselves a little, and said guiltily,
"It's okay, how could grandma be angry with Xiaoyuan. The old lady smiled and shook her head, then turned her gaze again and glanced at her granddaughter-in-law,
"By the way, Grandma hasn't wished you a happy wedding yet. Happy wedding to my grandchildren...... In the blink of an eye, you also got married, remember when you were a child, you were so small...... Be nice to other girls, be a good girl. ”
"Thank you Grandma...... Thank you grandma. ”
The old lady's grandson answered, and the granddaughter-in-law sitting next to her also said to the old lady,
"Good ...... Good ......" the old lady smiled happily, "Daughter-in-law, what do you like to eat, the cook is still here, I'll let the cook make it for you again." ”
"No, Grandma. The granddaughter-in-law shook her head and replied, "Grandma, you can eat it too......"
"Good, good ......"
In response, the old lady slowly turned her head and looked at the last person at the table, her eldest son's daughter-in-law, Tao Jiahui.
Her eyes paused, her cloudy eyes stared at Tao Jiahui, and the old lady didn't speak for a long time.
“...... Jiahui. ”
Finally, the old lady spoke again.
"You like to eat this chicken, so you can try it too. ”
As she spoke, the old lady withdrew her gaze and turned her head.
Hearing the sound, Tao Jiahui put her chopsticks in the bowl, paused, raised her head and looked at the old lady, didn't speak again, took the chopsticks and grabbed the chopsticks and ate the chicken.
