The kitchen, bedrooms, and living room in this courtyard are not adjacent to each other. For the Du family, the kitchen is in the westernmost corner.
The sound of stir-frying came from inside, and it sounded very sophisticated. There was also the sound of a Peking opera song mixed in. As soon as Yu Yan stepped in the door, she said, "Mom!"
Lao Du followed up and took a look. Three dishes had been fried on the table, and even the soup was simmering in the pot. "Mom, when did you come? You almost scared us to death."
"Look at how brave you are." The old lady turned away and turned down the radio on the table. "I came here in the afternoon. My dear, none of them are at home. You left me the key before, did you forget? Today
I came here just to see my granddaughter Juanjuan. I haven’t seen her for a few days. It’s strange.”
"I'll help you, Mom, please rest quickly." Yu Yan picked up the shovel from the old lady's hand, and Lao Du pulled a stool from behind the door and helped the old lady sit down.
"You said you didn't call us when you came. We've been in the house for a long time..." Yuyan said while frying, and then gave Lao Du a look.
Lao Du understood it and asked, "Mom! Why don't you leave when you come back this time? You can live here."
"That won't work, I have to go back."
Yuyan answered, "Mom, please move out of the nursing home. You were living in the nursing home because your dad worked here. Later, your dad left. You said you wanted to stay here to find your thoughts. Seven or eight years have passed, and now
Your children are here to take care of you, so why go back? Besides, how do you make outsiders see us?"
The old lady didn't respond to Yuyan's words and said, "Outsiders, you don't care what they think or how they go about it. How nice is the nursing home? You are so busy now and are not home all day long, how can you still take care of me? I can eat and drink in the nursing home.
, there are still people to take care of me, and I can have fun with everyone. I want to live here, so why don’t I enjoy the blessings here, or show you the house.”
"Look, Mom, you are saying this again." Yuyan couldn't remember how many times the old lady said the same thing. Yuyan couldn't persuade her anymore, and there was nothing she could do to persuade her.
It seems that in every city, as long as people live in nursing homes, they basically don’t want to go home. For the elderly, nursing homes naturally have the joy of nursing homes.
"Mom, your birthday will be the first day of the new year next year. There is still half a year left. Otherwise, if I can live at home, I can celebrate your eightieth birthday by then."
The old lady waved her hands repeatedly, "Why don't you celebrate your eightieth birthday? How can you spend that money... Don't interrupt. It's been a while. Why haven't I seen my granddaughter? Why is she busier than you?"
"There is an interview at the studio. She should go over and have a look. How about I give her a call?"
"No! I won't leave for a while. She's busy with her business. What's the hurry? Yuyan, it's almost time to take it out of the pan. If you fry it for a while, it will become mushy."
Yu Yan listened to the old lady's words and hurriedly filled the plate and put the rice cover on it first.
After returning to the living room, the old lady noticed her son's relaxation at a glance and couldn't help but become suspicious, "You are usually so busy working in the hospital, why are you back so early and so free today?"
"Mom, Lao Du retired just a few days ago."
"Retirement? At what age are you now? It's time to retire."
The old lady became a little confused and counted on her fingers. Yu Yan hurriedly said, "He retired one year early."
"You checked out early? No, you must have been expelled from the hospital. Did you make a mistake there?"
"No way, Mom! It's nothing."
The old lady was dubious, took out her cell phone and said, "Why don't I call your dean and find out what's going on."
"Mom, Mom." Lao Du hurriedly explained, "I retired early, I retired early. I couldn't bear it anymore after being in the hospital for many years, so I retired early. My retirement certificate will come out in a few days.
Just take a look and see."
"Mom, it's true. He didn't lie to you." Yu Yan said.
"How can you, a busy person like you, have enough time?" Sure enough, the mother understands her son.
Yu Yan didn't hide it, "Well, his second spring is here, and he won't be able to take any time off."
"Second spring? Du Beijing! What are you doing? Yu Yan is not good enough to you? You are already thinking about the second spring, and you have two children!" the old lady asked sternly.
Lao Du felt helpless and pretended to "complain" to Yu Yan, "Oh! Look at you! You are telling the truth. This won't let our mother misunderstand."
"Hahaha..." Yu Yan became happy, "Yes, yes! Mom, that's it. It's not the second spring, it's the second spring in his career. He's ready to start a business."
"That's it, it scared me! Really, I can't even explain it, so what are you going to do?"
Lao Du said, "We are currently planning to open a medicinal food shop."
"Ah? No, this is absolutely not possible." The old lady disagreed with Du Beijing, "Tell me, you have been working in the hospital all your life, and you have just been worried about your life. Now that you have retired, you still want to do this? Again.
Dealing with medicine all day long has turned me into a medicine jar. Now that there are so many entrepreneurial projects, it is better to find a leisurely one."
Du Beijing knew that his mother would object, "Mom, there is no leisure in starting a business. Medicinal diet shops are different from hospitals. Medicinal diets are based on diet. They add some Chinese medicine to the ingredients to help people regulate their bodies. I also have a partner
As for people, this time some of our retired old friends will work together to build this small shop."
"Then you can't live without traditional Chinese medicine. Anyway, I don't agree to let you continue to do this business. It's so tiring, every day."
The old lady was resolute, and Yu Yan hurriedly said, "Mom, medicated diet is not what you think, it is not that tiring. It is reasonable for you to treat your son as opening a porridge shop."
"Don't fool people. I don't understand other aspects. I know this area well. Now it's porridge shops and beverage shops. They are all over the street. You say you are prescribing a medicinal diet. The question is, who will drink it? Who will drink it?
It's okay to take medicine. How do you advertise this? To maintain health or to nourish? Who would believe it? If nothing else, no one among the elderly people I know believes in this kind of health care nonsense anymore."
"How can we say it's a porridge shop? The more you explain, the more confused you become." Lao Du complained about Yu Yan.
Yu Yan whispered back, "How about you do it yourself? I'm too lazy to tell you this! If I hadn't discovered it in time, you would have just..."
Lao Du was also worried that Yu Yan was being dishonest and immediately told her about how she was almost deceived. He quickly stopped him and whispered, "No, no, please don't let our mother know about what happened just now, otherwise I won't be able to start my own business."
There’s nothing we can do about it.”
"What are you two mumbling about? Anyway, I don't agree with you opening a herbal food shop!" The old lady said so hard that neither Lao Du nor Yu Yan knew what to say next.
Du Juan hummed a song and ran into the house. When she saw the old lady, she ran over happily and said, "Grandma!"
The old lady's eyes lit up, she hadn't seen her granddaughter for a long time, "Hey! Juanjuan, my good granddaughter! I miss grandma so much, come here quickly."
Du Juan's arrival relieved the old couple. Before entering the house, Du Juan also heard the conversation between the old lady and her parents, and was thinking about how to respond.
"Let grandma take a good look. I haven't seen her for a long time. Why has Juanjuan lost weight again?" The old lady was unhappy. The two grandchildren she loved most in her life were her two grandchildren. Then she became angry with the old couple again.
, "Look at my granddaughter's slimming, what kind of medicinal food shop she has, and how she usually takes care of her."
Du Juan held the old lady's arm and said, "No, grandma, it's me who has been losing weight recently and gained weight recently."
"Hey! You're the only one who's still fat? You've lost weight and you're already like a slender person. Granddaughter, you can't lose weight randomly. You know, don't ruin your body again."
