Chapter 57: Is That My Mom and Dad?
"I don't want her to be with Bo'er at all, why should I know? What you're doing now should be working with me to figure out how to tear them down, instead of taking the time to get to know her. ”
"I'm here for our son's true happiness! I used to rely on you for everything. This time it's not like you're going to listen to me, at least give me a little time, give them a little time. Xia Songnian was afraid that the guests would hear what he was about to say, so he approached his wife and said, "Good girl, you should accompany me to eat later." If you don't want to talk, don't say it. Wu Peilan pouted and said, "Just this once, there is no next time." Xia Songnian's heart was finally loosened, and he happily replied, "Okay!" Thank you, wife! I know you're the most sensible." The little girl in the store took the medicine for the customer, and after settling the bill, she came over and asked with a smile, "Uncle and aunt, can I add some more tea for you?" ”
Xia Songnian smiled and replied, "No need, you go and do your job, you don't need to greet us" As he was talking, Liu Yan came back with Sedum. Liu Yan looked at Xia Songnian and asked Sedum, "Who do you see over there?" When Sedum saw it, he ran over without putting his schoolbag and said, "It's grandpa and grandma." Grandparents, why did you come to the store, did you come to see Sedum? ”
Sedum is wearing a blue and white school uniform today, with little white shoes on his feet. The little face was flushed, and a pair of big eyes were smart, so he looked at Xia Songnian and Wu Peilan with a wink, waiting for them to answer.
Xia Songnian and Wu Peilan glanced at each other, how could they not say that they were here to investigate his mother in the face of such an innocent and lovely child. So I had to tell a white lie: "Yes...... Oh, yes! It's to come to see you" and then push Wu Peilan with his hand, "Oh?" ”
Wu Peilan smiled embarrassedly, "Uh-huh."
Liu Yan came over and took the schoolbag on Sedum's shoulder and said, "Okay, let's take grandpa and grandma out to eat together." Sedum excitedly held his head high and said, "Yes! Will Daddy come over? This question frightened Xia Songnian and Wu Peilan, they knew who the father in Sedum's mouth was, fortunately, Liu Yan said, "Dad has to work today, I guess I don't have time to come over for dinner!" ”
"Okay" Then let go of Liu Yan's hand, stood between Xia Songnian and Wu Peilan, holding Xia Songnian with one hand, and preparing to hold Wu Peilan with the other, Wu Peilan's hand did not move. Sedum's happy little face suddenly smiled, and turned his head to look at Xia Songnian and Liu Yan. Liu Yan didn't worry about his little baby at all, and let Sedum play freely. Xia Songnian took the initiative to see the children, and hinted to Wu Peilan with his eyes to cooperate. Wu Peilan actually didn't reject Sedum holding her hand, but she didn't adapt. Just like when Sedum called Xia Yunbo's father for the first time, Xia Yunbo was at a loss. Seeing that Sedum stretched out her little hand again, Wu Peilan slowly let go of her fingers, and Sedum took it over. Then give Wu Peilan a sweet smile. In the faint sunlight, the child's laughter made Wu Peilan forget for a moment that she was here to oppose her mother's entry into the Xia family.
Liu Yan booked a Chinese vegetarian restaurant on the way to pick up Sedum from school, which is mainly vegetarian and suitable for the elderly and children.
Liu Yan chose a quiet corner by the window, the waiter brought the menu, Liu Yan took it to Wu Peilan to order, and Sedum also took a menu and said to the waiter, "Sister, I want to eat this."
"Kids, you really know how to choose dishes. This is pine nut corn roast, our signature dish. Wu Peilan and Xia Songnian looked at the recipe and said, "The name of this dish is really interesting, but it's not a vegetarian restaurant, why don't you look like many of them are meat dishes?" The waiter smiled, "Auntie, these look like meat dishes, but they are actually made of vegetarian dishes." What does this look like? The waiter pointed to the picture and asked Wu Peilan, "Like ...... Like sweet and sour pork ribs" "Yes, but it's actually made with tofu and tomatoes" "Ah! Wu Peilan looked at her husband, interesting. The waiter continued, "The people who come to eat with us are very health-conscious and wellness-conscious guests. Our dishes here are all directly supplied from the organic vegetable base" "Yes! Xia Songnian said unexpectedly, "I didn't expect the little vegetarian restaurant to be so exquisite." It can also be seen that Liu Yan is very attentive to inviting the two elders to dinner.
They ordered 6 dishes and a soup together, and for each dish that came up, the waiter would sign up. The first course, cashew nuts love celery, that is, green celery and white cashew nuts are fried on high heat; The second course, the wild mountain mushroom gathering, tea tree mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, enoki mushrooms and other mushrooms are fried at low temperature until golden brown and placed in a circle on the plate, and a small wood-colored stack is placed in the middle, which is a dipping sauce, as if a group of people are gathering; The third course, shrimp skating, is made by removing the shell and blanching the shrimp in Jiwei, marinating the condiments, and then thickening them with starch; Fourth, the tomatoes are blanched in hot water and peeled, chopped into minced pieces, and boiled in vegetable oil to make a sauce for later use. Cut the tofu into cubes, add salt and tofu cubes in cold water to boil, remove the dry water, arrange the plate, and pour tomato sauce on it naturally; Fifth, three flavors of real fire, red pepper, green pepper, yellow pepper mixed with stir-fried beef tenderloin; The sixth course, pine nut corn roasting, corn kernels are frozen in the refrigerator for 24 hours, fried and loosened, with an appropriate amount of wheat flour as a binder, spread evenly in the pan, and bake over low heat. When it's almost ready, sprinkle with pine nuts and shape into a pot and serve on a plate. As soon as it came up, Sedum's eyes didn't leave it. The last thing that came up was that the mandarin ducks playing in the water was actually a bowl of ordinary vegetarian soup. The waiter said, "Hello, you've got all the dishes." Please call us again if you need anything."
"Okay, thank you" Liu Yan replied
Sedum picked up the spoon and asked, "Mom, can I eat it?" ”
"Yes. Uncle and aunt, let's eat."
Xia Songnian and Wu Peilan have eaten a lot of rare things, and this kind of vegetarian restaurant really doesn't eat much, but I didn't expect to taste fresh here in Liu Yan today. After Liu Yan got a piece of pine nut corn for today, Sedum obediently ate it by himself. Then he used chopsticks to clip Xia Songnian with some white and red, and said, "I think my uncle should usually have palpitations, so it's more suitable to eat some red." "I gave Wu Peilan a little wild mountain mushroom gathering and said, "Aunt is afraid that she has not slept well recently, fungi are rich in polysaccharides and trace elements, which can promote sleep and detoxify and nourish the skin, as well as prevent atherosclerosis, you eat more."
Xia Songnian just tasted a mouthful of white and red, and was reminiscing about the beauty of the compatibility of tofu and tomatoes, when he heard Liu Yan talk about the role of mushrooms. stretched out his chopsticks and took away the mushrooms in Wu Peilan's bowl. Wu Peilan said angrily, "This is for me, don't you know that you are clipping?"
Xia Songnian smiled back, "The one in your bowl is more fragrant!" ”
Liu Yan laughed embarrassedly, and Sedum laughed with corn kernels in his mouth, "Grandparents eat the same as parents eat together, and Dad also likes to grab things from Mom's bowl to eat, haha......." Seeing that Wu Peilan's face was about to change, Liu Yan wanted to cover Sedum's big mouth, but as a result, Sedum accidentally choked on corn kernels and coughed. Liu Yan was about to pour some water, Wu Peilan quickly poured water into Liu Yan and took it to Sedum to feed it, patted Sedum on the back while feeding, and said, "It's okay, is it better?" Then he said to Liu Yan, "The child is innocent, let him say if he wants to talk, why cover his mouth and choke the child, what should I do?" "Thank you, grandma, I'm fine" and then gave Wu Peilan a smile that was not worth her life. Although Wu Peilan blamed Liu Yan, Liu Yan was very moved when she heard it, and almost burst into tears. She cares about Sedum, which indirectly shows that she will not be as critical of Liu Yan as before.
Xia Songnian was happy in his heart, and he was not in vain about his back and forth these days and his bitter words for his wife. also understood why his son was so obsessed with the mother and son. She hopes that what she can see, Wu Peilan can also understand.
During the meal, Wu Peilan saw that Liu Yan didn't take care of Sedum, so she let Sedum pick up vegetables there by herself, and she didn't help if she couldn't clamp it, and her mouth and face were full of vegetable juice. Wu Peilan was in a hurry, hugged Sedum to her side, and drove Xia Songnian to the other side of the table, "You sit over there." For such a young child, let him eat the vegetables alone, can he eat enough? Xia Songnian was surprised by his wife's attitude towards Sedum, which became too fast and couldn't react, haha. Liu Yan said, "Auntie, it's okay, he can do it himself." Sedum was also widened by Wu Peilan's sudden change, and said to Wu Peilan, "Grandma, I can do it myself." Wu Peilan wiped Sedum's little face with a tissue and said, "What can be, look at our little handsome guy like a cat, grandma feed!" Come, open your mouth obediently". Sedum squinted at Liu Yan and opened his mouth, and Liu Yan couldn't cry or laugh. How could this kid capture people's hearts so easily, even Xia Yunbo's mother was so difficult...... Thinking about it, you can't think of Xia Yunbo's mother like this, and change it to, even a strange person like Xia Yunbo's mother can be subdued, son, mom is worried about you.
Seeing that everyone was eating about the same, Liu Yan took his mobile phone and said to go to the bathroom and left his seat.
Like usual, after eating, Liu Yan will take Sedum to the bathroom to scrub his face and hands that have been stolen by vegetable juice. After eating today, it's clean. Take your grandparents by the hand and walk out. Xia Songnian said, "Wait, I'll settle the account."
"Let's go, I'm over," Liu Yan said
Xia Songnian only smiled and didn't speak, so he took Sedum's hand and walked to the commercial street.
Liu Yan walked behind them, unconsciously smiling, wandering in this beautiful moment. As a result, he was interrupted by the ringtone of his mobile phone, and when Xia Yunbo returned to the office after eating, he called Liu Yan, "Yan Yan, have you eaten?" ”
"Well, it's good to eat"
"What about Sedum?" Liu Yan didn't reply to him, but sent a video to Xia Yunbo, in which Sedum was holding Xia's father and Xia's mother's hand and bouncing. Xia's father and mother talked to each other for a while, and looked down at Sedum for a while and smiled. The moment Xia Yunbo saw the video, he stood up straight from his chair, he couldn't believe that the two people holding Sedum's hand in the video and talking and laughing were his parents. A phone call came over, "Hey, Yan Yan, is that my parents?" "Hmm" "In the North City Commercial Street?" "Hmm" "Holding Sedum?" "Hmm" "Why did they go to you?" "This is a long story, 2 hours ago or 2 months ago, I only had lunch and it is like this now" "What the hell happened" Xia Yunbo couldn't help but be happy, and couldn't wait to fly to Beicheng Commercial Street now to see this happy moment.
During this time, the B-City Resort project occupied all his time, and he didn't know how this sudden happiness came about. Liu Yan knew that Xia Yunbo was curious, and said softly into the phone, "I know you are curious, go back and let me tell you every day, you go to work first." ”
