On the third day after Tian Dalin and Li Guihua arrived, Tian Shao asked Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to take them to eat hotpot mutton. He originally called Uncle Li and Auntie, but Jiaojiao had diarrhea and they didn't go.
After coming back, Si Ya was like a happy little bird, chirping non-stop: "Sister, it's no wonder that boiling mutton in winter is one of life's great pleasures. Not only is the food delicious, but you feel warm after eating it."
Li Guihua complained: "Isn't it delicious? One meal is enough for me to buy groceries for two months."
Si Ya was unconvinced and raised her head and said, "Mom, you can't always scold me. You haven't eaten less yourself!"
Li Guihua heard this and cursed: "You stinky girl, what are you yelling about? If you don't get into college, your salary will only be enough to eat mutton."
Si Ya hummed twice and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely get into college."
Even for the food, she would come to Sijiucheng. This was not something she just talked about. After more than a year of hard work, her grades had improved significantly. She went home during the winter vacation and took the final exam for her senior year of high school, with a total score of 640 in liberal arts. , she can get about 520 points. She will take the college entrance examination the year after next, and there is still one and a half years left, so it should be no problem to improve by another 40 to 50 points.
After hearing this, Li Guihua stopped scolding and said, "If you are admitted to a university in Sijiucheng, mother will take you to whatever you want to eat."
Si Ya was overjoyed: "Mom, you said it yourself. If you really wait for me to pass the exam, don't lie."
Li Guihua had no intention of staying: "I still have to take care of Dian Dian and Niu Niu. When you give birth, I will come to take care of you during the confinement period."
Li Chun said lovingly: "If you like to eat, then eat more."
We picked him up at 11 noon.
After chatting for a while, it was time to eat.
Li Guihua was surprised when she heard this: "Liuya, can you make chili sauce?"
The main reason is that she won't be able to come back for a while and will have to rely on her own efforts. What she said just now is from the bottom of her heart. Fortunately, she learned cooking from Sister Li. If she can't eat foreign food, she can still cook it by herself. Otherwise, she would really cry. .
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Liuya arrived home.
After Liuya washed her hands and put her hands on the table, she saw that half of the dishes on the table were her favorite dishes. She picked up a lion's head with her chopsticks, took a bite and said, "It tastes like this. I want to eat it there, but Those Chinese restaurants don’t cook anything like this. Sister Li, yours is the best.”
Liuya smiled and comforted her and said: "Mom, it was hard to do it at first, but now I'm used to it. It can be up to four years, and I'll be back after four years."
Li Guihua and Tian Dalin missed her so much that they insisted on picking her up at the airport despite the cold weather.
Tian Shao helped his forehead.
The freezer Tian Shao bought for her has been put to great use. During holidays or when she has free time, she fills up the refrigerator and freezer, which can last for two or three months!
She occasionally cooks a few dishes on Sundays, but they are all relatively light. The ones with a lot of oil and salt are not good, and they will be complained if the smell of oily smoke is too strong.
The two met more than four months ago, but Liuya was not so excited. She walked up and touched Tian Shao's belly and said, "Sister, mother said you are pregnant with twins?"
Tian Shao saw that Li Guihua and Liu Ya's eyes were red and knew that they had cried. She looked at Liu Ya carefully and said with a smile: "They have grown taller and become more beautiful."
Liuya felt very distressed when she thought about that scene, and said: "Sister, don't be away from others when the time comes."
Tian Shao gave her a piece of cabbage heart and said, "Here, eat the cabbage heart to get rid of the spiciness."
Sankui said in surprise: "Liuya, why have you grown so tall in just two years? It's almost up to my eyes. The soil and water in this foreign country are so nourishing!"
Uncle Li couldn't bear to see Li Guihua like this, and said with a straight face: "If a child gets admitted to such a good school, he must complete his studies before he can come back. If he gives up halfway, wouldn't he be living up to the country's training?"
When I came to Sijiu City this time, the most unhappy person among the group was Niu Niu. At home, he played outside with his friends every day, but when he came here, he had to read English, practice calligraphy, and memorize texts every day, and he didn't do anything at all.
free.
Li Guihua confirmed this statement. When she was pregnant with Wuya and Liuya, they were not born at full term, and because they were born prematurely, both of them were not in good health.
Tian Shao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll bear witness. Mom can't cheat even if she wants to."
During the summer vacation, he could still go out and play on Sundays, but now he doesn't go out because of the cold weather. It's not the New Year yet, so he's looking forward to going back.
Liuya couldn't help complaining: "Who are you raising? I eat milk and bread every day until I vomit. Fortunately, my eldest sister... my eldest sister asked me to learn how to make pasta from Sister Li. I made a lot of them on weekends and put them in the refrigerator."
I really don’t want to eat hamburger milk, so I steam buns or boil dumplings and eat them with the chili sauce I made.”
Liuya smiled and said: "I can make not only chili sauce, meat sauce, and ketchup. I have no choice but to make it myself if I want to eat there."
Liuya felt something was wrong, so she calculated the days and calculated that Tian Shao's due date was in July, which was the summer vacation!
Tian Shao explained: "The old doctor told me that twins are usually born early and cannot be born at full term. It would be great if they can be born in June."
Tian Shao glanced at Liuya in surprise. With this girl's talent and hard work, it wouldn't take more than five years to get her doctorate.
Tian Shao knew that Liuya meant well, but she didn't need it: "No need. Wuya will take the college entrance examination the year after next. It is the most important time. Mom should stay at home and take good care of her."
While we were talking, Uncle Li and Sankui's family came over.
In addition to the braised lion's head, there was also Liuya's favorite pickled fish on the table. After only two bites, she didn't dare to take off her chopsticks. It was too spicy. She seldom ate chili in the beautiful country and was not used to it.
Tian Shao nodded and said, "Yes, that's why my belly is so big even before it's five months old. This child is growing up day by day, and I may not be able to see my feet by the time she reaches seven or eight months."
After saying this, she turned to look at Li Guihua and said: "Mom, why don't you stay and take care of my eldest sister until the New Year is over. She is like this, and it is safer to have you by her side."
The three little ones have all grown up now, and they have all inherited the white skin of Li Guihua. One white skin covers all ugliness, and at the age of 18 or 19, they are all beautiful.
Li Guihua's eyes turned red when she heard this: "Liuya, you have suffered. If it doesn't work, we will come back and stop reading."
Tian Shao felt that Uncle Li's ideological consciousness was still very high.
Tian Shao said no need: "Mom, no need, I will ask someone to take care of them when the time comes. When Si Ya and Wu Ya go on summer vacation, you can just bring them here."
Although she couldn't eat anything too spicy, Liu Ya was almost full. Tian Shao asked her to make a pot of Pu'er tea, which promotes digestion.
After sitting down, Liu Ya said to Tian Shao with some regret: "The third sister and the fourth sister are both here, but the second sister is not."
She also misses Erya very much.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "There's nothing we can do about it. Your second brother-in-law is in business, and business is best at the end of the year. One month is equal to three or four months on weekdays. If you ask them to give up their business and come to Sijiu City, if you don't talk about them, your parents will also
I can't bear to part with you. It's okay. I'll wait for you to come back after graduation. I think they can go back at any time."
