Wearing books in the 70s: the delicate educated youth have material space

Chapter 109 Reunion for dinner

"Mom and Dad." The two turned around and saw Father and Mother Han getting out of the car. They were both carrying luggage, followed by Tang Liang.

"Mom, Dad, Brother Tang, you've had a hard journey." Cheng Xu took the luggage from Han's mother. Because she was carrying winter clothes, the suitcase was a little heavy, but she could carry it.

Mother Han held Cheng Xu's hand and when she saw her son and daughter-in-law, all her fatigue disappeared: "Fortunately, we are all in the car. Why are you tired? What are you doing here in this cold weather? Just let Shen Chen come." "

That's what she said, but Mother Han didn't know how happy she was when Cheng Xu came to pick her up.

Cheng Xu: "I miss you. I want to see you soon." Cheng Xu took the kettle and asked Han Mu to drink water: "This is hot water. Mom, are you thirsty or hungry?"

She asked Han Chen to take out the steamed buns again: "I also brought steamed buns, wrapped in cloth and still warm."

Mother Han was a little hungry, but she was too embarrassed to eat on the street. Han Chen knew Mother Han's burden, so he walked back with Father Han's suitcase and thanked the old man before leaving.

When they reached the road where there was no one else, Mother Han started to eat steamed buns. After living for so long, her daughter-in-law was still considerate. She knew that she was hungry while driving, so she even brought steamed buns for herself. This would have to be replaced by her wooden son and Tietou’s daughter, let alone the steamed buns, there’s not even a single one in the water.

"Xuxu, how do you make this steamed bun? It tastes sweet and soft."

Cheng Xu immediately told Mother Han how to make the buns. She asked Ma Jun's mother for advice. Since she learned how to make buns, she doesn't ask Ma Jun to help her bring steamed buns to eat. If she wants to eat them, she will make them herself. Mother Han said it again.

Mother Han: "I'll let Sister Tang do it when I get back."

The five of them walked back. Although the weather was cold, their bodies also warmed up after walking.

"Dad, we're back."

Cheng Xu opened the door, and Cheng's father went out to pick up his parents.

"My father-in-law, my mother-in-law. Come in and warm yourself up."

Dad Cheng took over Cheng Xu's job and brought his in-laws to the main room.

"It's very cold here, so we put a brazier in the house and the temperature is about right."

Father and Mother Han sat down. The temperature in the main room was a few degrees higher than outside. It was warm as soon as they entered the room. They took off their heavy coats and gathered around the fire pit to warm themselves up.

Han Chen took Brother Tang to Liu's house to put his luggage. Cheng Xu went to the kitchen to help Cheng's mother prepare dinner. She also reminded Cheng's father: "Dad, remember to open your window from time to time." She didn't say anything about carbon poisoning later. , Dad Cheng also knows.

"Mom, we're having hot pot tonight. The stir-fry gets cold too fast and it's getting late, so we'll just make it convenient so that they can have a rest after eating."

It got dark early in the winter, and it took her and Han Chen a long time to pick up Han's father and mother. Now it was getting late, and she wanted to prepare a good reception. It was already dark after the meal was done.

"Listen to you."

There are ten people, including Uncle Liu's family. The round table at home is big enough to sit on. She also has a stove for hot pot, mutton and beef. Before Dad Cheng and the others came back, she had prepared all the meat. There's quite a lot, so there's no shortage of meat, and if we prepare vegetarian dishes, there are still more than a dozen kinds of dishes.

She didn't dare to make the pot too spicy, so she made a slightly spicy one, and also made a tomato soup base. After the soup base was fried, she put it directly into the hot pot pot and started cooking.

Cheng Xu: "Han Chen, bring it to the table. Sibo, help your brother-in-law put the dishes on the table and just watch there. When the water in the basin boils, we can eat." Han Chen brought Brother Tang to the table. Uncle Liu and the others have been helping in the kitchen since they called.

The greed in Sibo's eyes was about to turn into reality. Students did not eat so well in school: "Sister, what else do you want to make delicious?"

He saw that his sister was still pouring oil into the pot after washing.

"Make sweet and spicy peanuts." Use them as snacks.

The temperature in the main room gradually warmed up, and the elders in the room were chatting happily, chatting about work and young people. Father Cheng was also very satisfied with Han Chen, his uncle, and he praised his in-laws.

"In-laws, you have raised little Han very well. This child is good to Xu Xu and us."

"Why, if your daughter marries our family, we will take advantage." Han's father also recognized Cheng Xu as his daughter-in-law.

He can cook, make money, and is kind-hearted. In short, in Han's father's opinion, Han Chen is a blessing when he comes to Cheng Xu.

When Dad Cheng heard this compliment, he felt very proud. Of course his daughter was fine. His daughter was not comparable to ordinary people.

Can ordinary people get No. 1 in the provincial capital painting competition?

Cheng Xu's No. 1 painting was posted at the entrance of the Propaganda Office building. Cheng Xu's father asked his son to take the photo. After it was developed, it was posted directly at home and placed on the desk in front of people who came and went. People, consciously or unconsciously, talked about Cheng Xu's deeds.

All I can say is that parents who show off their children have never changed from before to now.

"Uncle Cheng, parents, it's time to eat." Sibo couldn't wait to remind everyone as soon as the water in the pot boiled.

Everyone also started to order the dishes. Cheng Xu fried the peanuts and served them to the table at this time.

The overbearing aroma of hot pot had already swept through the hall. Cheng Xu asked everyone to eat the meat dishes first: "The beef needs to be cooked a little longer. This fat beef can be eaten raw when it is boiled and rolled. The same goes for duck intestines. The bottom of the pot is not spicy. Don’t be afraid.”

People here in Liujiacun still like to eat spicy food, and Cheng Xu made it slightly spicy to take care of Han's father and mother.

The tomato soup base in the middle is used for blanching vegetarian dishes. After finishing the hot pot in winter, the meal is not finished until you add a handful of pea tips.

Mother Han put down her chopsticks: "It's been a long time since I've had rice cooked by Xu Xu. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and today I finally got my wish."

Cheng Xu: "Mom, please stay a little longer, and I'll make sure you get tired of my cooking."

Han's mother wanted to stay longer, but Han's father didn't have so much time. He still had work and couldn't stay out all the time.

Mother Han: "Forget it, when your father retires, we will come over and stay for a long time."

Han Chen's work can't be moved for a while, so he might as well live like this with the idea of ​​letting his husband retire so that the family can be reunited.

Han Chen also felt guilty for his parents. He didn't understand things before, but he came here to work as soon as Uncle Li turned him around. His tired parents had to come all the way here to see him: "Mom, it's my fault."

Mother Han didn't care, "What are you thinking about? If your mother and I hadn't come back to see you, I would not have been able to go out and see this great river and mountains."

The next day was the New Year's Eve. After eating, everyone took an early rest and waited for the New Year's Eve the next day.
