Guan Tong woke up before six o'clock. Her mother had been nagging in her ears for a long time, saying that it was not easy to be the wife of a wealthy family, and she should be more diligent. Diligence can make up for many shortcomings.
Although she said she didn't care, she took it very seriously in her heart. It was said that girls mature earlier than boys. Ever since she learned about her boyfriend's family background, she had long made up her mind to marry him.
To this end, sufficient psychological preparation has been made.
However, this process was much smoother than she imagined. It was not as bumpy as it was in movies and TV dramas. It can be described as "it comes naturally".
Although Guan Tong moved very lightly, she accidentally touched her husband's arm and woke him up.
"Tongtong, what time is it?"
Zhang Guoxuan opened his eyes drowsily and yawned widely.
"It's not until six o'clock, you can continue to sleep for a while!"
Guan Tong answered while putting on his clothes.
Zhang Guoxuan suddenly looked surprised: "Why are you getting up so early? Our family usually has breakfast at half past seven."
"I'm going to help mom and grandma cook."
"No, there is a nanny at home, so you don't need to cook." Leslie Cheung quickly called to his wife.
Just a few days ago, at the strong request of my aunt, their family finally hired three nannies, two of whom were responsible for doing housework, and one who looked after grandpa.
"Don't we have a nanny at home?"
Guan Tong couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Before she got married, she would often go to her boyfriend's house, so of course she knew what was going on here.
Leslie Cheung explained casually: "Isn't this a new addition to the family? In addition, my grandfather's health is getting worse and worse, and he can't live without people at all, so he simply hired a nanny."
After speaking, he lifted the quilt and patted the quilt:
"Goodbye, let's sleep a little longer."
Guan Tong shook his head and continued to put on his clothes:
"Not today. Today is the first day that my granddaughter-in-law comes to visit. I want to cook a breakfast for my grandparents to express my filial piety."
"Hey, our family doesn't have that many rules, and my grandparents are very easy-going, so you don't have to worry about these false etiquettes." Leslie Cheung waved his hand, and then smiled: "If you are really filial, let's do some exercise and try to let my grandparents hug me as soon as possible.
Great-grandson."
Guan Tong immediately covered his clothes tightly, took two steps back, and said angrily: "Don't do this nonsense, you didn't have enough trouble last night? Don't delay my business."
"Forget it, I'd better go with you! In case grandma says I'm ignorant and don't care about others."
Zhang Guoxuan waved his hand helplessly.
Guan Tong pretended to be disgusted: "Can you cook? If not, then don't cause trouble for me."
"You're looking down on people, aren't you?" Zhang Guoxuan raised his eyebrows with a stern look on his face, "Let me tell you, I have followed my mother since I was a child and learned a lot of cooking skills. You may not know as much as me."
"Really? Can you make buns?"
Guan Tong said in surprise.
Knowing that her boyfriend's family was from the north, she found a master chef and learned a lot of pasta from him.
"It's a piece of cake. In addition to making buns, I can also pull noodles, bake bread, and make cakes... If you don't believe me, I'll show you my skills later."
"Then why haven't I seen you cooking?"
Guan Tong expressed doubts.
"During the winter vacation when I was in the third grade of junior high school, I almost burned down our kitchen. Since then, my family has stopped letting me cook."
After Zhang Guoxuan finished speaking, he directly rolled up his sleeves:
"Did you see this scar? It was caused by the perm that time. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and did not cause more serious consequences."
Guan Tong immediately stepped forward and grabbed her husband's arm. She couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "How did you get this scar? It turned out to be burnt by fire. You were too careless."
"My little injury is nothing. My brother has a bigger scar on his leg, which is much worse than mine."
During a skating session, Zhang Guoji accidentally had an accident and fractured his calf. The injury was quite serious and the bones were exposed.
Guan Tong gently stroked the scar a few times, then lowered his head and kissed it: "Does it still hurt?"
Leslie Cheung took the opportunity to hug his wife and said numbly: "It hurts. It hurts at night. From now on, you have to kiss her for me every day. It won't hurt anymore."
"I hate it, hurry up and get dressed, it's getting late." Guan Tong pushed the other person.
Ten minutes later, the two appeared in the kitchen hand in hand.
"Aunt Sun, Aunt Zhou, morning!"
"Second Young Master, why did you two get up so early? Are you hungry?"
Aunt Sun seemed very enthusiastic.
She cherishes her current job very much.
This is the home of the consul. Not only is the salary high, but he can also bring some leftovers home every day. The living standard of the whole family has been directly raised to a higher level.
"Aunt Sun, I told you before, you can just call me by my name." Zhang Guoxuan smiled and waved his hand, then took his wife and introduced him: "Let me introduce to you, this is my wife Guan Tong, you can call her Tongtong.
.”
"Aunt Sun, Aunt Zhou, hello!"
"Tongtong, what do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you right away." Aunt Sun said with a flattering smile on her face.
Zhang Guoxuan waved his hand: "Aunt Sun, we are not hungry. The reason why we got up so early is mainly because Tongtong wanted to make breakfast for the family."
Guan Tong quickly echoed: "After all, we had a wedding yesterday, and the whole family has been tired for the whole day. We want to make breakfast by ourselves to express our feelings."
"Oh, the bride is beautiful and filial. Guoxuan, you are so lucky."
"Auntie wishes you both to have a son soon, grow old together, and have a lifetime of happiness."
The two nannies praised her repeatedly.
"Aunt Sun, Aunt Zhou, thank you."
Guan Tong smiled sweetly.
After chatting for a while, the four of them started making breakfast.
Aunt Sun asked thoughtfully: "Tongtong, what do you want to make? There are wrapped dumplings in the kitchen, and there are also soaked beans, which can make a pot of eight-treasure porridge."
Both of these are the simplest. Basically, you just add water and boil. There is no technical content.
After all, a person who can marry into a consul's family must not be an ordinary person, so he shouldn't be too difficult for others.
"I know how to make steamed buns. Is there any dough in the kitchen?" Guan Tong didn't want to waste her cooking skills.
"Yes, we were making bun fillings just now!"
Aunt Zhou rushed to answer.
Guan Tong took advantage of the situation and asked: "What kind of stuffing are you going to make?"
"There are two kinds, one stuffed with beef and one stuffed with shredded white radish. The stuffing with shredded white radish is prepared for the old man. He can't eat greasy food."
Aunt Sun quickly replied.
Guan Tong nodded and made a decision on the spot: "Let's do this. Today's breakfast will be richer. Make one portion each of steamed buns and eight-treasure porridge, add a portion of fried rice with eggs, and finally stir-fry a few side dishes."
"Don't forget, there are also boiled eggs and milk from An An and the others." Zhang Guoxuan added immediately.
"That's right, Aunt Sun, Aunt Zhou, I'm in charge of making buns and fried rice with eggs, and I'll leave the rest to you."
Guan Tong distributed with a smile.
"Tongtong, do you want us to help you?"
Aunt Sun tried to ask.
Leslie Cheung smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, leave it to me. I'm not bragging. My bun-making skills are no worse than my grandma's."
"That's true. Your grandma told us a lot about your four brothers..."
Aunt Sun agreed with a smile.
"Aunt Sun, Aunt Zhou, I just have time during the summer vacation, can I learn how to cook with you?"
Guan Tong took the opportunity to speak.
She had only learned pasta and some home-cooked dishes before. Due to the lack of corresponding ingredients, she basically didn't touch on other things.
Aunt Sun nodded immediately: "No problem, you can tell Auntie anything you want to learn. Auntie is good at northern cuisine, and your Aunt Zhou is good at southern cuisine. With both of us here, I guarantee you will be taught."
As a senior technician, I have taught many apprentices, so I still have some confidence. Moreover, if you teach others, you don’t have to worry about them taking over your job.
On the contrary, if you build a good relationship with the other party, you may get unexpected rewards, such as helping your grandchildren get a better school. This is better than anything else.
"Thank you Aunt Sun! Thank you Aunt Zhou!"
…
An hour later, Li Dajuan came to the kitchen.
"Huh? Little Pudding, Tongtong, why are you two up? This is..."
Guan Tong quickly replied: "Grandma, we are making breakfast and it is almost done. We will have breakfast in ten more minutes."
"There is no shortage of people at home. You don't have to do this. It's finally summer vacation. Why don't you two sleep a little longer?" Li Dajuan stepped forward and took her grandson's wife's hand.
"Grandma, it's the first day Tongtong comes in, please let her show off!"
Leslie Cheung joked.
"Grandma, I have eaten so many of your dishes before, and this time I want you to try my cooking."
Guan Tong raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
When Li Dajuan heard this, she was extremely satisfied: "Okay, grandma, I will try your craftsmanship, but you are a little more sensible kid. Grandma tells you that now is the time when you are growing up. Occasionally next time
Just cook, there’s no need to get up so early.”
"I know, grandma!"
Guan Tong took the opportunity to hold the other person's arm.
Soon it was eight o'clock, and everyone in the Zhang family, including Zhang Jiahui, got up. Because of the summer vacation, breakfast was more than half an hour later than usual.
Li Dajuan hurriedly greeted: "Today's breakfast was made by Tongtong, so hurry up and eat it while it's hot."
"Grandma, don't forget that you still have me."
Leslie Cheung raised his right hand with a smile.
Li Dajuan reached out and patted her second grandson on the back: "For Tongtong's sake, I will make an exception this time. You are not allowed to enter the kitchen again."
"Hey, I'm already married, why do you still treat me like a child?" Leslie Cheung smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Humph, in grandma's eyes, you will always be a child, naughty and disobedient."
Li Dajuan waved her hand.
Seeing that his second son was exhausted, Yang Huaqing quickly interrupted: "Tongtong, how did you sleep last night? Are you not used to it?"
"Fortunately, I'm not used to it."
Guan Tong replied with a blushing face.
Kangkang took a sip of milk and said carelessly: "Mom, your question is simply unnecessary. It's not like my second sister-in-law has never slept in our house, how could she not be used to it?"
This time, Guan Tong's face turned even redder.
Yang Huaqing immediately knocked on his third son's forehead: "I'll eat your food, you are the only one who is smart."
This topic was a bit awkward, so Zhang Jiahui immediately interrupted: "Guoxuan, after dinner, remember to take Tongtong to the wedding room in the capital. From now on, it will be your world for two."
"I know, Auntie."
Zhang Guoxuan nodded.
Guan Tong stood up immediately and helped the old man hold a bun with shredded white radish: "Grandpa, these are the buns made by Guoxuan and I. Do you like it?"
Zhang Chongxin smiled and took a bite, and immediately praised: "It's delicious, it tastes very good."
"Auntie, you should try it too."
"Well, it's indeed good. This silly boy Guoxuan will have a good time in the future."
"Uncle! Let me help you serve rice-treasure porridge."
"Thanks!"
"An'an, Kangkang, do you want to try some egg fried rice? Second sister-in-law added shrimp and ham."
"Thank you, second sister-in-law."
…
After breakfast, Zhang Guoxuan took his wife out, accompanied by Yang Huaqing. Due to Zhang Hao's injury, the consul's residence has been very busy in the past two days.
"Tongtong, this will be our home from now on." Zhang Guoxuan opened the door of the villa with the key.
Hearing this, Guan Tong couldn't help but be curious: "Husband, don't we need to accompany our grandparents?"
"No, we still have An An, Kang Kang and Guo Guo at home, and it's very lively. We don't need to accompany them. When we have children in the future, we can let our grandparents help take care of them. They will definitely be happy."
Zhang Guoxuan said with a smile.
"Hubby, then we won't go back to Huicheng anymore?" Guan Tong couldn't help but sigh.
She would rather live closer to her parents' family.
"Well, actually this is just a transitional place. When we graduate, we may go to Minde."
"Minde? Minde from Fuzhou?"
"Well, I forgot to tell you. In fact, our family separated last year. I chose Minde Times. If nothing else happens, I will need to work there as soon as I graduate."
"Minde era? Which car company?"
Guan Tong has already studied her husband’s family’s industry.
Zhang Guoxuan nodded: "Yes, you also know that I am very interested in business. I also studied business administration in college, so I chose the Minde era, which has the most development potential."
"Then which company did you choose?"
Guan Tong asked quickly.
"Alas, the eldest brother has always given in to us younger brothers and sisters. He chose Shuguang New Energy, which has the least future. An'an and Kangkang split the Haotian Group equally, and the rest belongs to Guoguo."
Zhang Guoxuan briefly introduced.
"Okay, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. It seems that I can only follow you to the remote countryside to make a living."
Guan Tong pretended to be aggrieved.
"Hmph, you actually called me a dog." Zhang Guoxuan scratched his wife's face, "Don't worry, I've been to Minde several times, the conditions there are not bad, and there are also my cousin and the others, so don't worry about no one.
chat."
Guan Tong rolled his eyes: "Husband, Minde is still a small place after all. Can we move the company to the capital? Isn't Lingding New District always recruiting investment? Minde was not a small company in the era, so we can definitely do it.
OK."
"You are overthinking. There are many things involved in the Minde era, and it is impossible to leave Minde."
