Chapter 14: Homely
The ingredients are all ready-made, and when Shen Chi said that Lin Xiaoliang wanted to eat beef soup, Luo Yufang started to make it without saying a word.
It's just that in the end, Lin Xiaoliang still didn't eat much, and after drinking a few spoonfuls of soup, a wave of nausea welled up in her stomach, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move immediately.
Her expression was extremely obvious, and Luo Yufang was anxious when she saw it, "I deliberately put less beef, and there is no oil at all, so it's not okay?" ”
Shen Chi hurriedly poured a cup of brewed ginger tea and put it in Lin Xiaoyan's hand, and saw that she had taken two sips and her face eased before he breathed.
"Grandma, this is already calculated, last time my eldest sister boiled chicken soup and brought it in a thermos kettle, Wanwan spit it out after taking a sip, and this time I drank it in several sips." He looked back and comforted.
Luo Yufang was not comforted at all, and frowned deeply: "This won't work, if it goes on like this, the adults won't be able to hold on, and the children will be in danger." ”
"Why don't you get some wine?" At this time, Shen Mincheng spoke.
Everyone looked over, he touched his nose and said, "I heard that some pregnant women don't eat sour or spicy but love to eat wine." ”
"That's the way it is." Luo Yufang thought for a while and said: "I remember that Yuan Sanniang, who married out of the village, loved to eat wine when she was pregnant. ”
Shen Zhangming said worriedly: "Wine brewing is not worth much in the countryside, where will I get it?" ”
"I have it at home." Shen Chi hurriedly said: "Wanwan makes wine every year, and she just brewed a vat of wine last month, and she hasn't moved a large pot of wine. ”
"Okay, I'll do it for Wanwan in the evening." Luo Yufang said with high morale.
"Grandma, go and eat, the dishes are going to be cold." Lin Xiaoliang couldn't get out of bed, so several elders gathered around the room to watch her eat, so she said so.
"That Chiwa, you accompany Wanwan. We'll come back to see her after dinner. ”
There were only husband and wife left in the house, Shen Chi picked up the chopsticks and started eating, he didn't just care about himself, he fed Lin Xiaoliang something after a few bites, and she couldn't vomit if she endured it. It's just that I don't eat much.
"Yesterday, Lao Chang's family made rice balls, I brought some back and put them in the refrigerator, and asked Grandma to make wine stuffed rice balls for you at night." After eating, Shen Chi put away the dishes and chopsticks and talked with Lin Xiaoliang.
"What kind of stuffing?" Lin Xiaoliang also asked cooperatively.
"There is bean paste and sesame seeds, which one do you want to eat?" Shen Chi peeled the orange. Break a slice and stuff it into her mouth.
"Sesame." Lin Xiaoliang said as he ate oranges.
"Also, the pomegranates in the yard are ripe, and I will pick the pomegranates with the small rice cakes later, and squeeze the juice for you to drink when the time comes." Seeing that Lin Xiaoliang finished eating the oranges, Shen Chi carefully handed over the honey water.
"Good. We can't eat enough pomegranates. Give some to the big brother and sister, as well as Xiaomei and Huihui. Lin Xiaoliang chuckled.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll arrange it." Shen Chi stretched out his hand and combed her hair.
"I know." Lin Xiaoliang smiled lightly: "Doesn't Grandpa love candy?" There are a lot of nougats I made last time, you can find them for Grandpa, anyway, you and the little rice cake are too sweet. ”
Don't look at Shen Zhangming's usual silent and steady appearance, but in fact, he loves sweets very much, and as long as it is sweet, he will not dislike it.
"Okay."
"Also, I dried a lot of dried radishes before, so don't forget to tell Grandma. She likes to take that porridge. "After living together for so long, Lin Xiaoliang is very clear about the preferences of the two elders.
"I won't forget." Shen Chi took the glass she handed over and put it away, looked up and said, "I saw a child eating longan last time." There should be something for sale outside, I'll go out and have a look later, and I'll buy you some back. ”
"I don't like to eat that, you always like it, so eat more." Lin Xiao's voice was soft.
"No, I've heard people say that longan is nutritious. You need to eat a little more, which is good for yourself and your children. Shen Chi wouldn't listen to her.
"Okay." Lin Xiaoliang is very talkative.
Shen Chi kissed her cheek happily when he heard this. He added: "Also, I heard that there is beef jerky sold outside now." That's not fishy at all, I'll buy you some back, okay? "Wanwan doesn't have any meat at all now, and I think I know it's not good for my health.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Xiao bowed his head.
……
"The photos taken during the autumn trip of the little rice cake should have been washed, I will go to the photo studio to get the ......" Shen Chi was halfway through his words, and found that Lin Xiaoliang had fallen asleep, so he quickly shut up, waited for a while, and felt that she should have fallen asleep, so he hugged her and covered the quilt, took the dishes and chopsticks put aside and walked out lightly.
"What's going on? Accompany Wanwan to talk more, I will get the dishes and chopsticks. Seeing him come out, Luo Yufang couldn't help complaining.
"No, Wanwan slept." Lin Xiaoliang walked to the sink and began to wash the dishes.
"Sleeping? Did you eat something? ”
"I fed her some when I ate, and then I ate half an orange and half a cup of honey water." Shen Chi replied.
Hearing this, Luo Yufang clasped her hands together and said: "The ancestors and the ancestors bless, but you must bless Wanwan with peace and health." ”
When she finished reading the words, Shen Chi, who had already washed the dishes, said, "Grandma, I'll go out, do you have anything to buy?" ”
"Wait, I'll go with you. If you want to go out to buy groceries in the future, you can take me to familiarize yourself with the neighborhood first. Luo Yufang hurriedly untied her apron and said.
Shen Chi thought about it for a while, nodded and agreed.
As a result, when he went out, not only Luo Yufang, but also Shen Zhangming and Shen Mincheng came with him, for similar reasons to Luo Yufang, but Shen Yinian, who originally planned to follow, took the initiative to stay with Lin Xiaoliang.
"Grandma, there is also a vegetable market in the compound, just about a kilometer away, but we are going to the vegetable market outside now, if you don't want to go far in the future, you can go to this vegetable market to buy vegetables." Shen Chi introduced himself to Luo Yufang while driving.
"Is the vegetable market in the compound not fresh or is it not clean with pesticides?" Luo Yufang hurriedly asked.
The granddaughter-in-law is now pregnant, and these things need to be paid special attention.
"No, the dishes there are all picked and sold by villagers in the suburbs of Beijing, fresh is fresh, but there are not many categories. The fish and shrimp are all alive, not bad, and the meat there is really not as fresh as it gets. However, there are a lot of vegetables grown at home, and there is basically no need to buy them outside, so Wanwan and I usually go to the outside vegetable market to buy vegetables. Shen Chi explained carefully.
"Then let's go to the vegetable market outside to buy it, anyway, I don't have anything to do, I can exercise by walking a few more steps." Luo Yufang decided immediately.
"Yes, if Auntie is not free, my father and I can also go." Shen Mincheng, who was sitting in the back, also hurriedly said.
Shen Zhangming nodded in agreement.
Shen Chi took the group around the places they might go to in the future, and when they came back, it was already past three o'clock.
"Shoulu, where did you go, why did you come back now?" A few people got out of the car when Han Shouzhen heard a voice and walked out.
"Big sister?" Shen Chi looked at the three elders who were a little restrained and introduced, "At this time, my eldest sister Han Shouzhen. ”
He said to Han Shouzhen again: "This is my grandfather, grandmother and father." ”
Han Shouzhen was stunned for a moment before she reacted to the identities of the three old men opposite, and said enthusiastically: "Grandpa Shen, Grandma Luo, Uncle Shen, thanks to you for taking care of Shoulu all these years, I am here to say thank you." "For the people of the Shen family, she has already done her homework, so she is very fluent in this call.
"No, no, no, how can I, a country woman, deserve your thanks Miss Han." Luo Yufang looked uncomfortable, after all, this was General Han Kuang's daughter in front of her.
Shen Zhangming and Shen Mincheng are not much better, and they don't know where to put their hands and feet.
"There is no one more worthy of you, Grandma Luo, don't be polite to me, what Miss Han, just call me Shouzhen." Han Shouzhen said sincerely.
Seeing that she looked sincere and did not say kind words, Luo Yufang breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that the other party would look down on her, her wife and son were a little blind, and it would be bad if she was so tired that her grandson would lose face.
In fact, she thought too much, not to mention that the three of them have lived in the city for so many years, and their words and deeds have long been different from those of the countrymen, they are just vulgar in their native language, for the sake of them raising Shen Chi, Han Shouzhen will not mind.
If she wants to say that she is dissatisfied with anyone, it is probably Shen Mincheng, who once ignored Shen Chi, but her younger brother recognized this adoptive father, and she did not want to go against his will. Between the other party, who has also been devoted to her brother for more than ten years, and now she has "lost her way", she is willing to call her uncle.
"Shoulu, Grandpa Shen, it's a big deal for them to come over, how about calling my brother in the evening and we will hold a small dust-washing family banquet for the elderly?" Han Shouzhen proposed to Shen Chi.
Seeing the restraint of the three elders before, Shen Chi nodded without hesitation and said, "Cheng, anyway, I bought a lot of vegetables today." ”
"Then I'll call." While speaking, Han Shouzhen didn't forget to smile at Shen Zhangming and them: "I won't entertain you, anyway, it's my own people." ”
With that, Xing Chong rushed into the house and made a phone call.
The three elders breathed a sigh of relief, and Luo Yufang couldn't help but sigh: "Chi Wa's sister is good. ”
"Grandma, you just think too much, with me here, who dares to look down on you?" At this point, Shen Chi still didn't know what the old man was thinking, and his brain was just a decoration.
"You don't know how to be ashamed." said this, but Luo Yufang was full of smiles, which showed that Shen Chi's words were still very useful.
When a few people moved their purchases home, Han Shouzhen had already finished calling, and when he saw them coming in, he shouted to the two children who were watching TV: "Ping'an, Nan Nan, come and call someone!" ”
"Grandpa, grandma, Grandpa Shen." Because Han Shouzhen had explained in advance, the two children were also very quick to call people.
Seeing that they had finished calling people, Han Shouzhen said to the three old men with satisfaction: "This is my son and daughter, if you have anything to do with them." ”
"They are all neat children, you are so blessed, a son and a daughter just make up a good one." Luo Yufang praised politely, but this was indeed from the bottom of her heart, and it was not against her heart. (To be continued)
