"Dad, second brother, and mother asked me to call you to prepare for dinner." Ruyi walked in and said while watching the chess game.
She can also play chess, but she's not as good as her two brothers.
She didn't like to play chess at first, but now that she knew that her father liked to play chess, and played with her eldest brother and her second brother, and played like this for the whole afternoon, she made a decision in her heart. After reading the chess records, she could follow him later
Daddy is playing chess.
"Your mother is in the kitchen?" He Zexu's eyes lit up and he asked.
Ruyi nodded: "Yes, mother has cooked a lot of dishes tonight. However, I don't have the sweet and sour fish that daddy likes to eat."
"Sweet and sour fish, dad has already eaten for lunch. Let's go and help serve the food." He Zexu breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Sanniang did not regret avoiding him, and greeted his son Xiaole who was still sitting there pondering the chess game.
.
Huh? "Dad, this game of chess won't be finished?" Xiao Le was a little surprised. Mother asked them to prepare for dinner. It's not like they have dinner now. This game of chess can be over in a cup of tea at most. Dad
You didn’t even finish it?
"No more, your mother worked hard to make dinner, don't let her wait for us, hurry up." He Zexu made his attitude very clear.
Well, you are the father, and whatever you say is right. Xiao Le quickly stood up and followed, for fear that if he was too late, he would become the ignorant son of an unfilial mother.
Grandfather San arrived at the dining room, saw that his mother was not there, and went straight to the kitchen.
"You're here just in time, let's serve the food." In the kitchen, Wei Zijun, who was wearing a small floral apron and a small floral scarf on his head, greeted him when he saw it.
He Zexu was stunned. It turned out that his third wife was working in the kitchen like this.
Mrs. Gu, known to the world as decisive and resolute in her actions, is a good wife who cooks for her husband and children at home.
"Dad? Aren't you here to help serve the food?" Seeing his father standing still in the distance, Xiao Le quickly tugged on his sleeve to remind him.
Could it be that dad can't let go of the honor of being a prince?
However, the next moment, Xiaole knew that was not the case.
Because his father, with his long legs, stepped forward and surpassed him, reaching the plate table first to serve the food.
"The legs are really long. In a few years, my legs will be longer than yours." Xiao Le muttered in a low voice and hurried over.
"Wait a minute, roll up your sleeves. Don't let the soup get on it and make it difficult to wash off." Wei Zijun reminded, stepping forward to help He Zexu roll up the sleeves on both sides. After rolling up, he looked up and saw a pair of smiling faces.
Eye.
Wei Zijun immediately turned away and returned to the stove, preparing to make the last soup.
She told herself to calm down and don't forget to add salt and spoil the dish.
He and the children wouldn't say anything if the soup wasn't ready, but he definitely knew the reason. Even if he didn't laugh on the surface, he would definitely laugh at her in his heart.
Here, He Zexu picked out a lot of vegetables and put the ones that were not easy to serve on the tray. He also told his son and daughter to pick the ones that were easy to serve and don't burn them.
"Dad, my mother has made these dishes for you before, right?" Ruyi asked curiously.
Although they have been with their mother longer, their father was the first to be with their mother, so wouldn’t it mean that they had eaten the food cooked by their mother long before they did?
"Well, it's not that. At that time, your mother and I lived a very poor life. We didn't have money to buy such ingredients. Even the fish for making sweet and sour fish, it was her who brought the herbs dug from the mountains and the game she caught.
Sold and bought, sometimes exchanged." He Zexu told.
When talking about this, he still doesn't feel that life was really miserable at that time. If possible, he still hopes to go back to the past.
After Sanniang heals his eyes, he will be able to do many things. Sanniang will not have to work so hard, and his living conditions will definitely improve. After giving birth to these three children, he will not let the three children suffer.
"Ah? Then daddy, what do you eat?" Ruyi became even more curious.
"Most of the time, the vegetables are grown by your mother in the yard, as well as wild vegetables from the mountains, brown rice, and cornstarch paste." He Zexu was very willing to tell the children this. Looking back now, it seems that he can still
Reminiscent of the aroma of wild vegetables and brown rice.
After hearing this, Ruyi was in disbelief: "Oh my god, daddy, you are so pitiful."
"No, dad doesn't feel sorry for himself at all. I guess he should think that what he ate at that time was the most delicious meal in the world, because it was cooked by my mother, and because I ate it with my mother. Dad, I said
Is that right?" Xiao Le looked at the sweetness on his father's face and asked with a smile.
He Zexu nodded and gave his son an approving smile.
He also knew that his daughter said he was pitiful because of his status as a prince!
Grandpa put the dishes on the table, and He Zexu said that he would serve the rest of the dishes himself and just let the two children get the bowls and chopsticks.
The food in the evening was sumptuous, and there were some dishes that my mother rarely cooked. As she ate, Ruyi said that it was a pity that her eldest brother was not at home.
"Mom, look at how happy Daddy is. He keeps smiling." Ruyi looked up and saw the smile on Daddy's face and said.
His daughter's words made Wei Zijun want to put down his chopsticks and leave the table.
The children's father, this is too, too much.
Why is a man in his thirties so unstable? Didn't he just agree to sleep with him at night?
No, we will all sleep in the same room from now on!
However, Wei Zijun was not angry, on the contrary, he felt very sweet in his heart.
"Your father saw how old you were, and the happier he became." Seeing that the child's father did not respond, Wei Zijun had no choice but to speak for him.
"From now on, let's learn horse riding and archery from dad, dad is very good." Sanniang's words made He Zexu think that he had also missed thirteen years of fatherly love and companionship with his children, and decided to seize every opportunity to make up for it.
"Okay, okay, dad, please help Ruyi pick a good horse." Ruyi said happily.
Xiao Le tilted his head and looked at his sister: "Don't you like riding horses and archery?"
Every time the master taught me these things, my sister would say she had a stomachache or something and make excuses to avoid it.
"I didn't like it before, can't I like it now?" Ruyi asked with a red face after being exposed.
It seems that his daughter likes to teach by himself? He Zexu was even happier and gave his daughter a pheasant leg: "Tomorrow, daddy will choose the best horse for you, and he will also make a bow for my daughter."
"I also want to make a basket of arrow feathers for my daughter." Xiao Le imitated his father's tone and said.
Ruyi was so happy that she made a proud face to her brother: "Dad just likes me, aren't you convinced?"
The two children's play diluted Wei Zijun's discomfort.
Anyway, she just tried her best not to look at the person who made her flustered.
Daughter, she is so beautiful. Pick up some food for her.
My son is so handsome, he will definitely be even more handsome in the future.
When dinner was almost finished, Wei Zijun realized that he had been comforting himself just now. Is it okay not to look at someone at the dinner table? This is dinner. After eating, it is time to go to bed...
