"You forgot? A few days ago, you went to Dongzhou City with your dad to take your cousin home. Your dad had already bought me clothes that day. Li Xiuyun said sweetly. This Zhang Xu then remembered his mother's clothes. Dad had already bought it. He smiled a little embarrassedly.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xu and his father Zhang Feng bought some melon seeds, peanuts, candies and fruits in Yangguan County, which was a little preparation for the family before the Chinese New Year.

The father and son returned to the community with the New Year goods in their hands, and Zhang Xu looked at his father Zhang Feng in the room and said with a smile: "My cousin called a few days ago and said that he didn't want to eat in the hotel for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and I, like him, didn't want to eat in the hotel, and I felt that eating in the hotel every year was not interesting at all." ”

Hearing Zhang Xu say this, Zhang Feng was stunned at first. Perhaps he and Li Xiuyun are too busy on weekdays, from Zhang Xu's middle school to the present, almost every year the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is eaten in the hotel, not only the children are tired of eating, even he is tired of eating early.

"Then what do you say, why don't the two of us do something at home?" Zhang Feng looked at his son Zhang Xu and asked with a smile.

Since the son made such a request, it must be to prepare some vegetables, chicken, beef, ribs and pork at home for emergencies.

"Son, let's go out again and buy something at the mall. Zhang Feng said with a smile that he had decided to buy some essential ingredients for the Chinese New Year and put them at home.

Zhang Xu originally walked around the street with his father, and he felt a little tired at this time, but when he heard his father say that he tried to make a Chinese New Year's Eve meal at home, although he only tried, but the ingredients were always available, he went out again with his father Zhang Feng.

The two did not go to the vegetable market, because the vegetable market would definitely be crowded at this time, but chose to go to the mall.

In the shopping mall, it is also crowded at this time, and there are not many people in the shopping mall on weekdays, as if everyone has come out for the New Year.

Zhang Xu saw that there were a lot of dumplings in the quick-frozen food area, as well as glutinous rice balls and meatballs. So I came up with the idea of buying these quick-frozen dumplings home, putting them in the refrigerator, and waiting until the Chinese New Year's Eve to cook quick-frozen dumplings to eat.

"Dad, should we buy some back?" Zhang Xu asked his father, Zhang Feng. For Zhang Feng, Zhang Xu's idea is indeed good, but the day after tomorrow is the New Year, the meaning is to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, if you eat these quick-frozen, it is better to let Li Xiuyun have free time, prepare some dumpling stuffing at home, and then he and his son can try to make dumplings.

Besides, you still have to eat fresh dumplings, but you can buy some meatballs and put them in the refrigerator.

"We can choose a piece of pork, wait for your mother to come back in the evening, prepare some dumpling filling, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, we get up in the morning and start making dumplings at home?" Zhang Feng said with a smile.

Zhang Xu heard his father say this. My heart instantly blossomed. Although he has never made dumplings, he has always only eaten them, but people don't often say that if he has never eaten pork, he has never seen a pig run away! Isn't it just learning to make dumplings! It shouldn't be difficult! Zhang Xu thought to himself.

Father and son bought a lot of things at the mall. Only then did he walk out of the mall with a large bag of things. Put them in the trunk of your car one by one and go straight home.

In the evening, Li Xiuyun left the Shuiyunxuan Hotel early and returned home, thinking that tomorrow would be the Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to being a little excited, she was more worried about her son, what she ate at home all day today.

In the past few days, there are many customers who have booked Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the hotel, and as of this afternoon, all the private rooms have been fully booked. It was precisely because of the early end of the work that Li Xiuyun had time to return home early.

A woman runs a big hotel. , many times it is indeed very hard, but in order for his son Zhang Xu to successfully complete his studies, no matter how hard and tired he is, it is worth it in Li Xiuyun's heart.

Li Xiuyun and her husband Zhang Feng worked hard together, although Zhang Feng worked in the county planning bureau and only had a dead salary, Li Xiuyun took a fancy to Zhang Feng's character. He believes that the two of them will work together and will definitely live a good life. will also train their only son to be a talent.

At this moment, Zhang Xu is reading a book in the bedroom, and Zhang Feng is sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. Seeing Li Xiuyun coming back from work, Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Wife, have you eaten?"

"I've already eaten, how did you and your son eat dinner?" asked Li Xiuyun softly. The words were very gentle, but her face was full of exhaustion, all of this Zhang Feng saw in his eyes, his wife was so hard, Zhang Feng's heart felt unspeakably distressed.

"I cooked noodles for my son, we both ate them, it's good if you have eaten them, do you feel tired today?"

"It's okay! The reservation for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the hotel is fully booked as of today! The next thing is service, waiting for customers to come to their door and make them feel at home." Li Xiuyun said happily, she smiled like a child.

As the operator and decision-maker of Shui Yun Xuan Hotel, I am afraid that only she knows the difficulties and hardships. Fortunately, her husband Zhang Feng has always supported her career, otherwise she really doesn't know what to do.

Li Xiuyun got up and went around the kitchen, suddenly opened the refrigerator, and found that the refrigerator at home was already full, and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Husband, did you buy these dishes?" Li Xiuyun asked Zhang Feng with a puzzled expression, which made Zhang Feng look helpless.

"Chatting with my son at home this morning, he suddenly said that from junior high school to now, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has been eaten in the hotel every year, he has long been tired of eating, and my children and I know that you are busy with work, so we are ready to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow at home." Zhang Feng looked at Li Xiuyun in front of him and said happily.

"Yes, he also has his own ideas now, not only is he eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner outside, tired of eating, even I really want to eat at home, eat in the hotel every day, how can people stand it after a long time?" Li Xiuyun said while sorting out the ingredients in the refrigerator.

She saw the pork and celery and took them out of the fridge. Li Xiuyun washed the pork first, then put it on the cutting board, and began to chop the dumpling filling, and Zhang Feng was not idle, he washed the celery cleanly, and then handed it to Li Xiuyun.

watched his wife Li Xiuyun chop dumplings in the kitchen. Zhang Feng stepped forward, hugged Li Xiuyun from behind, and whispered in her ear: Wife, you have worked hard, I love you!

Hearing Zhang Feng say this, Li Xiuyun's heart was very moved, as if those moments of suffering in life were worth it. Because there is a husband by his side who loves her, is considerate and tolerant of her, and has an obedient, sensible and intelligent son. At this moment, Li Xiuyun felt very happy and content.

Li Xiuyun prepared the dumpling filling, put it in the refrigerator, and told her son to rest early, and then walked towards the bedroom with her husband Zhang Feng, probably because she was too tired, after a short period of warmth between the two, Li Xiuyun quickly fell asleep.

Maybe Li Xiuyun didn't know that the happiest thing in Zhang Feng's heart was to keep guarding Li Xiuyun and Zhang Xu, waiting for Zhang Xu to be admitted to university, and waiting for Zhang Xu to get married and have children! He and Li Xiuyun grew old slowly, witnessing all the happy bits and pieces of life, and companionship is the most affectionate confession! Looking at Li Xiuyun sleeping beside him, Zhang Feng said silently in his heart.
