Chapter 62: Staying overnight at the Gu family
"Blind Date ???" Gu Shiyu looked at Xu Qing in disbelief, "Mom, what are you kidding?" ”
Gu Shiyu now has someone she likes, of course it is impossible to agree to go on a blind date.
"Shiyu, your dad and I have given you a few years. You're 26 years old, and it's time to think about life's work. Xu Qing said resolutely: "If you don't go on a blind date, I will always live in Haicheng." ”
Of course, Gu Shiyu would not compromise, and opened her mouth to go back: "You can live as long as you like." Anyway, I'm not going on a blind date! ”
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and even the two little guys put away their playfulness and sat beside Shen Shiwei obediently, not daring to squeak.
Old Man Gu knew that arguing in front of the children would have a very bad impact on the children.
He said with a serious face: "It's a big holiday, what are you talking about?" We'll talk about that later. ”
Old Man Gu is the elder with the highest seniority, and what he says is also the most authoritative.
Xu Qing and Gu Shiyu could only stop talking, put this topic aside first, and talked about other things.
According to the usual practice, several women of the Gu family will make zongzi by themselves.
This year is naturally no exception, everyone chatted for a while, then got up and walked to the kitchen, and Shen Shiwei also followed.
Shen Ruoxi saw Shen Shiwei get up and walk away, she pulled Shen Ruochen to follow, wanting to see where her mother was going.
The chefs in the kitchen have prepared all kinds of ingredients for making zongzi and put them on the countertop.
Shen Shiwei turned his head and saw the two little guys coming over, so he said to them, "Chenchen, Xixi." Mom wants to make zongzi with grandma, you go to play with Dad, okay? ”
"However, I also want to make zongzi with my mother......" Shen Ruoxi pulled the corner of Shen Shiwei's clothes, and looked at her fixedly with clear eyes like lake water.
"Then you have to pack it well, it's impossible to make trouble." Shen Shiwei looked at Shen Ruochen, "Is Chenchen also together?" ”
"Well, I'd like to see it." Shen Ruochen wasn't interested in making zongzi by hand, he was just curious about the production process.
The two children sat side by side on the chairs, and Shen Ruochen held his chin with both hands and watched them make zongzi.
Shen Ruoxi followed Li Peizhi with a serious face, and among the few people present, Li Peizhi was the best.
Shen Shiwei looked at his son as if he was a little bored, and asked casually, "Chenchen, do you want to try to pack two?" Sometimes, you can't see it, you have to start doing it to learn. ”
"Alright then, I'll give it a try." Shen Ruochen picked up a few dumpling leaves, followed Shen Shiwei's movements, and learned to wrap them.
"Chenchen, you have to put your hand like this, otherwise, the glutinous rice will leak out......"
Shen Shiwei taught Shen Ruochen step by step, not impatient, and very patient.
After a while, Shen Ruoxi held up the zongzi he had wrapped and said happily: "Look, I've wrapped a zongzi!" My zongzi is so cute, so beautiful! ”
As soon as Shen Ruoxi's buttocks slipped, he got off the chair, held the wrapped zongzi, and circled around to show everyone clearly.
When Li Peizhi and Xu Qing saw her like this, they couldn't help but lean forward and lean back with laughter.
While laughing, they didn't forget to instill a rainbow fart in Shen Ruoxi.
Shen Shi said softly: "Xixi, your bag is really good, continue to wrap it." Mom also wants to eat the zongzi you wrapped. ”
Li Peizhi echoed: "Grandma also wants to eat." ”
Xu Qing also said: "Xixi, I want to eat too." ”
Gu Shiyu looked at Shen Ruoxi with a blank eye, "Don't forget your aunt's." ”
"Okay, then Xixi has to do a lot better." Shen Ruoxi had a bright smile on his face, "Everyone can eat it." ”
In Shen Ruoxi's time, Shen Ruochen had already wrapped two of them and put them in front of Shen Shiwei, as if waiting for her evaluation.
Shen Shiwei took one in one hand, picked it up and looked at it, and praised: "Chenchen is also very good, the ingredients are not leaking, and the rope is wrapped very tightly." ”
"Shi Wei, show me."
Shen Shiwei handed over the zongzi, Li Peizhi took it, looked at it carefully, and praised Shen Ruochen for making it very good.
There is a lot of strength in numbers, and in less than an hour, all the zongzi were wrapped.
There are several flavors prepared, and the salty ones are: salted egg yolk meat dumplings, pork belly dumplings, and ham meat dumplings.
The sweet ones are: yellow rice dumplings, bean paste dumplings, and eight treasure dumplings.
At dinner, Shen Ruoxi followed the mark and found the zongzi she had wrapped herself.
She took the zongzi and distributed them to everyone according to the order of the elders and young, first to Old Man Gu, then to Gu Yuanlin and Xu Qing.
The last is Shen Shiwei, Gu Zeyue, and Gu Shiyu.
When they got the zongzi wrapped by Shen Ruoxi himself, the elders were very happy.
Shen Ruochen's bag was not enough, so he simply opened the plate and tasted it with a spoon or two.
In addition to the dumplings for the season, the housekeeper also arranged for the kitchen to cook a lot of delicacies and set up a large table.
After dinner, everyone felt a little stretched, sat on the sofa in the living room, and drank some Pu'er tea to help digestion.
"Boom—boom—"
There was a sudden thunderclap in the sky, and Shen Ruochen and Shen Ruoxi were both startled, hugging Shen Shiwei on the left and on the right.
Children seem to be afraid of thunder.
At this time, the moon was completely obscured by dark clouds, and only the light of thunder and lightning could be seen.
Looking at the pouring rain outside the window, Old Man Gu looked at the mother and son worriedly, and said, "Shi Wei, it's windy and rainy outside, and it's still thundering. Why don't you just stay at home for one night and go back tomorrow? ”
Li Peizhi nodded and said, "Yes, Shi Wei." The family has prepared a change of clothes for you, so stay here for one night. ”
Shen Shiwei considered that the children were afraid of thunder, so he did not hesitate, nodded and agreed to stay at Gu's house tonight.
She messaged her grandfather and said yes.
After sitting with the elders in the living room for a while, seeing that the time was not early, Shen Shiwei took the two children upstairs to take a bath.
Staying at Gu's house tonight, the two little ones seemed to be quite happy, and as soon as the brother and sister climbed into bed, they fought for a while.
"Okay, okay......" Shen Shiwei turned off the headlights, leaving only a bedside lamp, she patted the pillow, "Hurry up and lie down, get ready to sleep." ”
Opening the storybook prepared by Gu Zeyue, Shen Shiwei used a gentle voice to tell bedtime stories to the two children.
In less than twenty minutes, both children were asleep, and she walked out of the room lightly.
Seeing Li Peizhi standing outside the door, Shen Shi was slightly stunned, "Mom, are you waiting for me?" ”
Li Peizhi nodded and said softly, "Yes, I'll take you to see your room." ”
After all, Shen Shiwei and Gu Zeyue have divorced, so they definitely can't share a room with him.
Li Peizhi walked in front to lead the way, and when she came to the door of a room, she reached out and opened the door.
Shen Shiwei looked around and saw that the cloakroom was full of clothes prepared for her by Li Peizhi, each of which was very in line with her dressing style.
It can be seen that Li Peizhi is very attentive.
Shen Shiwei's eyes were warm, and he was a little moved in his heart: "Mom, thank you......"
"Silly boy, don't be polite to your mother. Although you are divorced from Zeyue, in my heart, I still love you as a daughter. ”
Listening to Li Peizhi's words, Shen Shiwei felt the warmth that he had not seen for a long time. That's one, the warmth that comes from a mother.
