Chapter 509 Visiting Grandpa and Grandma
After buying spices, Shen Shuyu went into the kitchen to fry the hot pot base, while Su Yueru and Shen Qiu were washing vegetables outside.
If you have vegetables at home, just pick them and wash them if you want to eat them.
Gu Jiandong went out and brought back two kilograms of beef, and Jiang Ziqiang brought over a bowl of chicken blood.
"Hey, where does Ziqiang get the chicken blood?"
"I got it from the canteen's kitchen. Lao Zhang killed a chicken. I said a few words to him and he let me take it back."
Shen Qiu smiled, "Old Zhang thinks you're too annoying, so he's using chicken blood to get rid of you."
"I only said a few more words because you like eating chicken blood. The canteen will kill ducks later.
I'll go get some duck blood and duck intestines. Duck intestines are delicious in hot pot."
They were talking in the yard, and the aroma of hot pot base wafted out of the kitchen. They couldn't help but sniff.
Su Yueru smiled happily, "The hot pot base cooked by Shu Yu is so delicious, I am greedy for it."
"Xiao Ze, your saliva is flowing out, wipe it off." Xiao Ze covered his mouth with both hands.
When he found that there was no saliva, he patted his butt and got up, then rushed over like a calf and hung on Jiang Ziqiang. "Uncle, you are lying."
The water boiled, and Shen Shuyu poked her head out from the kitchen, "It's time to eat."
There were no double-flavored hot pots for sale, so Shen Shuyu drew a blueprint and asked Gu Jiandong to find a tinsmith to make a double-flavored hot pot according to the blueprint.
This double-flavored hotpot is really well made. It's really a work of art. Shen Shuyu was very satisfied when she got the pot back.
The hot pot was eaten in the kitchen. The kitchen was not very big, and it was just right for seven people and a dog to sit around the hot pot and eat.
Xiaoze took a bite of meat and a bite of vegetables, squinting his eyes happily, "Mom and Dad, it's delicious. Xiaoze wants to eat it again tomorrow."
"Then we'll have hot pot tomorrow."
In winter, it is comfortable to gather around the pot and cook food. You can cook whatever you want without worrying about the food getting cold.
Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu were about to take the college entrance examination, and both families were nervous during this period. Now that the exam is over, they have all relaxed and enjoyed this delicious hotpot.
"Shu Yu, I can take a vacation this year. In a couple of days, you and I will go visit grandpa and grandma. We will stay with them for two days before returning to Shenjiaba Brigade."
Shen Shuyu asked her parents-in-law, "Mom and Dad, will you go back to Shenjiaba Brigade with us to celebrate the New Year this year?"
"I can't go. Your father and I have to go back to the Northwest tomorrow." Their daughter-in-law is taking the college entrance examination, so they took some time to come and help the child. They can't stay for long.
"When we have time, we will definitely go to Shenjiaba Brigade."
Gu Changfeng and Su Yueru boarded the train, and Gu Jiandong and Shu Yu went home to pack their things and also boarded the train.
After the Yang family was rehabilitated, Yang Cheng and Luo Yulan returned home as soon as possible. The conditions in the Northwest were difficult, so the first thing they did when they returned was to find a doctor to regulate their health.
Yang Zhen and Liang Jun cried for two days and two nights when they saw their son and daughter-in-law were emaciated.
After a period of recuperation, Liang Jun ate well and gained some weight, and then he finally had a smile on his face. Otherwise, he always couldn't help wanting to cry when he saw his son and daughter-in-law.
To come here, Shen Shuyu sent a telegram in advance, and Yang Cheng drove a car to the station to pick her up.
In this day and age, it takes more than an ordinary family to own a car. When the Yang family was rehabilitated, their properties and cars were returned, as well as their original jobs.
Shen Shuyu had never asked her uncle and aunt what they did for a living before. It was only after she got in the car that she found out that her uncle worked in the Education Bureau.
My aunt used to be the principal of a high school. When college starts, she will be transferred to a university as vice principal, but I don’t know which school it will be.
The car drove for more than an hour and stopped in front of a courtyard.
Yang Zhen, Liang Jun, Luo Yulan and Taotao had been waiting at the door. When they saw the car coming back, the smiles on their faces became even brighter.
Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong got out of the car and said in unison, "Grandpa, grandma."
The couple thought they had concealed the truth well, but they didn't expect their granddaughter already knew who they were.
They only found out about this when their son and daughter-in-law came back and told them.
The first time they heard their child call them grandpa and grandma, tears welled up in the couple's eyes.
"Hey, go in and talk, go in and talk, your aunt has made a lot of delicious food."
Luo Yulan smiled and pulled Xiaoze's hand, "Xiaoze, your aunt bought you a lot of toys. Let's go in and play with the toys, okay?"
"Okay, thank you, aunt."
Yang Zhen, Liang Jun and others lived in the East Courtyard, and they only stopped there after taking Shen Shuyu and others to the East Courtyard.
Luo Yulan went straight into the kitchen, "Shu Yu, Jiandong, you guys sit down first, I'll go in and bring out the dishes."
They had their meal in the side hall. Yang Cheng and Luo Yulan walked around twice with the tray before they brought out all the dishes.
"Come, come, sit down and eat. It's time to eat. Shuyu, Jiandong, your aunt is a good cook.
This is all made by her, you can try it and see if it suits your taste."
Knowing that their granddaughter and her husband were coming, the Yang family was very happy. They went shopping for groceries and came back early. While Luo Yulan was cooking, they helped her.
"My aunt's cooking is delicious and tasty. You can tell it's delicious at first glance."
Shen Shuyu tasted the fish and her eyes lit up. "It's delicious. The fish meat is fresh and tender."
Luo Yulan was very happy to see her like this. She wanted to cook a decent meal to entertain her niece and her husband in the northwest, but she had no ingredients.
Now that she has been rehabilitated and has the conditions, Luo Yulan was worried that her niece would not like the food she cooked. Now she doesn't have to worry about that, because Shu Yu loves all the dishes she cooks.
"Eat more, these are all your favorite dishes."
"Come on, Xiaoze, eat a leg. The leg is all yours."
Xiaoze stuffed his mouth with meat. The little guy ate with great relish. He gave a thumbs up from time to time and said that the dish was delicious, which made Yang Zhen and the others laugh.
There are many good wines at home, which are not available outside. Yang Cheng took out two bottles and said, "Jiandong, let's drink some today."
Yang Zhen couldn't drink alcohol, so he drank tea instead. He sat next to them and clinked bowls with them from time to time, and they were having a great time at the dinner table.
"Shu Yu, which university do you plan to apply to?" Liang Jun is not worried that his granddaughter will not be admitted because she is smart.
"I plan to apply to the university near the army. This way, if I don't have classes, I can go back to the army to see Gu Jiandong and Xiaoze at any time. If Gu Jiandong is free, he can also bring Xiaoze to the school to see me at any time."
Shen Shuyu did not plan to apply to a school that was too far away. Her first choice was a school that was close to the military.
"That's fine. This way you three can meet up anytime. Now that we're back, if you need our help, just let us know."
"Got it, grandma. We won't be polite to you. You are my big backers now. I am counting on you to let me use your power to bully others."
Yang Zhen and Liang Jun both laughed. Although they were not very capable, they were able to protect their granddaughter's family.
Aren’t they working so hard just to give their offspring a better life?
After dinner, Yang Zhen called his granddaughter into the study and asked her about the boxes he had asked her to move. "Shu Yu, where did you hide those boxes? Grandpa, go get them."
