Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Reception Feast
Father Yu told unhurriedly, without the slightest exaggeration, in order to avoid worrying about his wife and children, he had already skipped many dangerous situations and did not say it, after all, it was over, there was no need to say it to make them worry.
There is no need for Daddy Jade to exaggerate, Ruyi also knows that it is good luck that the father and son can escape death this time, and the danger Ruyi can imagine. None of these important points will make it up to the father and son, but I'm afraid there will be no reunion today.
Liu's tears rolled down one by one, falling on the newly made clothes, blurring on the rough linen, and slowly disappearing.
"Mother, don't cry, you're still pregnant, it's not good for your sister to cry too much, what can you do if you have a crybaby in the future?" Ruyi quipped.
"Did you say that about your sister? You kid ......" Liu wiped his tears and glared at Ruyi with a pair of red eyes from crying.
"Our family is reunited now, and the days in the future will only get better and better, don't cry anymore, what should I do if I cry badly?" Father Jade also came over and took his wife's hand to comfort him.
Liu nodded. Fortunately, no matter how much suffering and how many sins they have suffered, they are still alive and well, and the family is together, which is enough, and the rest of the days will be better and better.
At noon, Liu's noodles were rolled, and at dinner Ruyi was worried about the pork belly that he bought yesterday, and it was still cold in the well, thinking that the meat would not be fresh if he put it again, Ruyi washed his hands and fished out the remaining pork belly from yesterday, and there were two or three catties, Ruyi cut half of the braised pork, and half of it was used to steam steamed pork.
"Sister, do you have any meat to eat today?" Xiaobao heard the sound of Ruyi cutting things in the stove room, and followed him into the stove room.
"Yes, little glutton!" Ruyi touched Xiaobao's head lovingly.
"There's meat to eat at night!" Xiaobao happily ran around the yard, during this time Ruyi's good skills have raised his mouth, used to look forward to Liu's cooking in the stove, so that he would not be hungry, now he looks at Ruyi into the stove every day, which means that there is good food.
"What's the matter, Xiaobao, but the lunch made by my mother is not to your liking?" Liu teases his youngest son.
"No, my mother's cooking is delicious!" The little treasure and the little ghost didn't dare to say anything to offend their mother, so they hurriedly denied it.
"Really? I thought I didn't cook as well as your sister? Since that's the case, then you tell your sister to come out to rest, and your mother will make dinner later. Liu commanded.
"Mother, you are pregnant with your sister, you have to listen to your sister, take care of your sister, and you can't go into the stove room." Xiaobao's originally smiling face collapsed, and he hurriedly moved Ruyi out.
"Oh, our Xiaobao is so well-behaved and sensible, I have to go into the stove room for my mother, no matter what, we have to make a good dish to reward our Xiaobao."
"Mother's ......" Xiaobao drooped his head and shouted coquettishly, this soft and cute voice made Liu's heart feel relieved.
"Mother, you can spare Xiaobao, I'm as big as him and more greedy than him!" Yu Ruyan saw Xiaobao's frustrated appearance and couldn't help but talk. Xiaobao is not yet five years old, and he has never eaten a few delicious meals when he is so old, and it is normal for him to be greedy.
"Hmph, you little conscienceless ...... I'll spare you today, and the next time I see you pestering your sister to eat, it's not as simple as today. Liu pinched Xiaobao's face.
Xiaobao made a grimace behind Liu's back, which made the master laugh.
By the end of the day, the chestnuts have already been made more than half, with the addition of Jade Daddy and Yu Ruyan, it is indeed much faster, and it is estimated that it will be finished in half a day tomorrow. Ruyi thought about it in her heart, and her happy eyes smiled into a line.
Ruyi cut the pork fat he bought yesterday into small pieces, refined it into oil, and then fished out the oil residue. Put the oil into a basin, and boil a whole pot of lard with five catties of pork fat. The oil residue also packed a large plate.
One afternoon, the fragrant oil level and the smell of meat wafted in the yard, causing a few children to be greedy, Dabao Xiaobao ran into the stove room for a while, and later, Xiaobao simply sat under the stove to help Ruyi light the fire.
His eyes were staring straight at the oil residue that had been boiled.
Ruyi quietly filled a bowl and let him eat it under the stove, so happy that Xiaobao's eyes were smiling.
Ruyi scooped a bowl of white rice that he bought, stuffed a pot of rice with brown rice, cooked the braised pork, took the tamales out of the pot, and the oil residue, and served them on the table.
"Don't be stunned, this is a reception banquet for my father and eldest brother today, it should be sumptuous."
What Liu originally wanted to say was swallowed in his stomach, and the two of them should celebrate and celebrate their escape from death. Or Nier is thoughtful, and Liu feels infinitely proud that he has such a thoughtful and considerate daughter for himself.
"It's still Nier's thoughtfulness, it should be, our family is well fed and drunk today, the days of homelessness in the past few years have passed, even if it is to celebrate that we have put down roots here, we should celebrate." Liu took the lead in sitting down.
"Okay, well, let's celebrate our family reunion today, and celebrate that we have taken root here, the hard days of begging for food in the past are over, and we will work diligently in the future, this place is a good place, and we will not starve." Daddy Jade was also very happy, and no one blamed Ruyi for being extravagant.
Since yesterday, Daddy Yu and Jade Ruyan came back to this house, Ruyi is secretly looking, the man in his thirties is full of honesty, his appearance is indeed excellent, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face is also very good-looking, several children have inherited Daddy Yu's appearance, and they will not look bad in the future. Ruyi looked at it secretly, as the saying goes, it's not that a family doesn't enter a door, this Liu and Jade Daddy are both kind and gentle people, and their looks are also very blessed, although the displacement in the past few years has made them dark and thin, and they look a little old, but the foundation is good, and there are blessings, no wonder they will cross over to Ruyi's body.
Ruyi shook his head and left these thoughts behind.
The family sat down around the table, waiting for Daddy Yu to announce the use of chopsticks, and then they served bowls to eat.
Ruyi may not have eaten meat for a long time, and during this time, there are occasional meaty foods, and Ruyi has been distributed to Dabao and Xiaobao. This time, the braised pork is very in line with her taste, oily but not greasy, and the red color looks very attractive.
Different from Ruyi, people here like to eat fatty meat, Ruyi prefers to eat lean meat, Liu saw that Ruyi only eats lean, and thought that Ruyi was reluctant, sandwiched a few pieces of fat pork belly into the Ruyi bowl, Ruyi couldn't cry or laugh. I also forced myself to eat it, this body has been losing money for too long, and eating some fat meat is not a bad thing.
"Sister, your dish is so delicious." The family ate quietly, only Xiaobao praised Ruyi while eating.
"If your mouth is sweet, then you can eat more." Ruyi gave him a few chopsticks and meat. The family is too thin and needs to eat something good.
The family swept away several meat and vegetables, their mouths full of oil, and their faces were flushed with red. Ruyi is also very pleased to see that everyone is happy to eat.
