Three days later, Yu Jian and others finally returned to the capital. Just like when they left, they were very low-key when they came back.
Yu Jianguo had been waiting at the airport several hours ago. He was accompanied by Yu Jianping and Yu Yuan. If the car had not been able to fit in, the whole family would have had to follow.
"Dad -" Yu Jian saw her old father in the crowd at a glance. His temples were gray and he had lost a lot of weight. She almost didn't dare to recognize him.
Yu Jianguo wiped his tears and said "Hey" several times. When he hugged his daughter, the tension on his body relaxed. He touched his daughter's little face and smiled sheepishly: "It really scared me to death.
Already."
Yu Jian was moved in her heart. She held her old father in her left hand and her old uncle in her right hand. The little one was holding her waist tightly and refused to let go, so she walked out step by step.
Zhang Hua followed behind and laughed, pushing Chef Lai who was still in a daze: "Why don't you leave?"
Chef Lai's lips curled up in grievance, and he almost cried again: "Master Dayu and Xiaoyu really don't want me anymore..." They all forgot that Lai Wei was following them...
"Pfft--" Zhang Hua couldn't hold it in any longer. Lai Wei is such a quickie. When we first met him, I thought he was a hot-tempered rough guy. But when we got to know him better, there was such a big contrast. He was just a jerk.
Well!
"Okay, if you don't be pretentious later, you have to take a taxi back." Zhang Hua kicked his heels, indicating that the people in front of him had gone away.
It was just after noon, and all the adults had the habit of taking a nap. The whole alley was so quiet that there was only a faint sound of birds chirping, which seemed to be lowered, not wanting to destroy this rare silence.
"Gulu gulu" The sound of the suitcase's rollers became particularly loud at this time. Just after turning the corner, the vermilion door was opened. Yu's mother supported Grandma Yu and stood in front of the door. As soon as she saw Yu Jian's figure,
Grandma's tears fell.
"My A-Jian..." She sobbed softly, causing Yu's mother to cry.
As soon as Yu Jian looked up, she saw two people standing there like tears, and she suddenly felt helpless. She waved her hands and shouted softly: "Grandma, Mom!"
Grandma Yu held her granddaughter's hand and refused to let go, and touched her face again and again. When her palm touched the temperature of the girl's skin, she really came back to her senses, let out a long breath, and said deeply
He looked at her deeply and said, "Jian, you can't scare grandma like this anymore. Grandma has already lost you once, but she can't lose you a second time."
This first time was the time when Yu Jian fell into the water.
Yu Jian didn't pay much attention to the meaning of her words, and leaned on her shoulder to act coquettishly: "No, no, no, I will stay at home with you from now on."
"That's the best-" Grandma Yu nodded her forehead and rested her face on her hair.
He said that he was not interested in listening. Mother Yu was not far away, looking at her grandparents and grandson quietly, feeling guilty in her heart. Yu Jianguo came over, hugged her, and comforted her: "A Jian is back, why are you still sad?"
Already?"
Yu's mother turned around and buried her face in her husband's chest. Her tears wetted his clothes little by little. She murmured: "I am such an incompetent mother. I can't even protect my daughter..." The incident of Yu Jian falling into the water seemed like an accident.
A blunt needle was inserted into her heart. It was usually hidden from view, but as long as she touched it, the pain was still there.
Although the daughter did not blame them, she was filial, caring and capable, but the mother always fell into endless self-blame.
Yu Jianguo was silent for a few seconds, and then smiled bitterly: "In terms of incompetence, I am the most incompetent." As a man, he has to support his family, but at every critical moment, his daughter stands up.
As time went by, he himself developed a sense of dependence. It was not until his daughter was kidnapped that he suddenly realized that he was the towering tree and wanted to keep his family firmly under its shade.
"Dad, when will dinner be served? I'm already hungry..." At some point, Yu Jian stared at the two people hugging each other and thinking endlessly, blinking narrowly and desperately.
Yu Yuan was not to be outdone, chewing the lollipop in his mouth and mumbled: "If you two keep hugging me, my sister will starve to death... Ouch, grandma, why are you hitting me!" Suddenly there was a blow on the head.
He hit the chestnut, causing the little guy to look at him angrily.
Grandma Yu's expression was not good, and she stared at him not to be outdone: "You can't die, just talk to me!"
Okay——
Yu Yuan instantly lost his arrogance and realized his problem. He quickly smiled flatteringly at his sister, showing his mouth with missing front teeth: "You're not angry...huh?"
What was waiting for him was the Nine Yin White Bone Claw stretched out by his sister.
…
The goose was braised during the day yesterday, as well as the barbecued pork and vermicelli liver. They were slowly simmered over the charcoal fire for several hours, and then soaked with secret ingredients. They were so soft that they were just waiting to be eaten.
Yu Jian stood at the door of the kitchen, and below her was Yu Yuan who was doing the same thing. The siblings watched their father take out the ingredients from the stainless steel pot, and then watched him cut them into thin slices of the same size. The aroma filling the air made people laugh.
He couldn't help but keep swallowing his saliva.
When Yu Jianguo turned around, he was startled by the greediness of the two people. He patted his chest and said angrily: "Go back to the table and wait! It will be ready soon."
"Yes!" Yu Jian took the plate from his hand and ran away quickly with Yu Yuan.
This is the most common family dish in Rao Township. The brine in the platter has cooled down, but it does not affect the fragrance at all. The braised goose meat with skin on it does not have a trace of excess fat. The meat is tender and not spicy, and the ingredients are salty.
It is light and moderate. The pink liver is soft and glutinous. It turns into water in your mouth when you take a sip. Mixed with the strong dipping sauce, the taste cannot be described in words.
Fried shrimp balls and cuttlefish cakes filtered in boiling oil at high temperature. Water chestnuts and pork are added to the shrimp meat and cuttlefish paste. You can feel the crispy texture on the surface when you poke it with chopsticks, not to mention the "click" when you take a bite.
There is a crunching sound. It really makes your teeth snap when you sit on it. It is crispy, fragrant and smooth.
Yu Jianguo also made oyster pancakes, beating the egg mixture into fine pieces, rolling the oysters inside, and half-frying and half-frying them with high-temperature oil. When it was served, Yu Yuan's legs were shaking with the aroma of hot oil and steam.
"Your grandma always says that the oyster pancakes you make are delicious. How does it compare with what dad makes?" Yu Jianguo was pleased by the way a few people were eating the food, and asked Yu Jian while pointing at the oyster pancakes.
Yu Jian cheered enthusiastically: "My dad must have done a better job!"
When Yu Jianguo heard this, his eyes almost narrowed with joy. He laughed twice and turned back to the kitchen. He felt that he was good again and had to cook two more dishes!
The dessert after the meal is Yu Jian’s favorite taro paste, which requires a lot of effort to make. The taro is steamed in a pot and then ground into a paste by hand. Only in this way can the taro paste be “delicate”.
Add a small amount of milk and boil it. It is sweet and thick, and so hot that Yu Jian drank two bowls in a row.
Her old father was still busy in the kitchen, and she had seen just now that her mother was grinding the taro paste bit by bit with a grinding stick. This couple put all their love for their children in their hearts.
, hidden in the delicious food...
Yu Jian rolled his eyes and, like Yu Yuan, shook his feet happily.
