"No, grandma. I'm losing weight in a healthy way. It's the weight loss porridge my dad prepared for me with medicinal food. It has no side effects on the body."
"Ah?" Grandma looked at Lao Du, "Medicinal diet? Does it still have this effect?"
She is really my good daughter!
Lao Du thought to himself, and when he looked at Yuyan, he felt like he was in the mirror. After Du Juan grew up, how could she worry about her life and diet? When she got busy on weekdays, she couldn't see Juaner's face for several days.
However, Juan'er's words also made Lao Du and his wife feel guilty. Lao Du understood that Juan came out to save him this time, and he wanted to follow the old lady's temper, let alone open a small herbal food shop, because she just wanted to start a business.
That is also a difficult obstacle.
"Yes, medicated food is very effective, grandma. Nowadays, everyone takes medicine whenever they are sick, which is very harmful to the gastrointestinal tract. But if you just eat some medicated food porridge and rice to prevent it, you will rarely get sick. Just like grandma, you used to
I cooked mung bean porridge for my family with Poria cocos and barley added to it. This is actually a kind of medicinal diet. If I drank it when the weather in Beijing was the hottest, few people in my family would suffer from heatstroke this summer."
Hearing what his granddaughter said, it made sense, so he stopped arguing and was stunned for a long time before saying, "Juan'er, aren't you speaking for your father?"
"No way, grandma, how could I lie to you."
"Yes, Mom, it's not like you don't know Juan. She has been honest since she was a child."
"Grandma, did you stew my mother's favorite black-bone chicken soup? This black-bone chicken soup is also a medicinal food, and it must have wolfberry in it..."
"Yes." Grandma was proud. "Your mother was weak when she was raising your brother. She always used black-bone chicken to make up for it. She must add wolfberry. This black-bone chicken soup... oh, my soup..."
The soup in the kitchen was boiling loudly, and the old lady hurriedly entered the kitchen without finishing her words. Lao Du and his family could take a breather. Du Beijing looked at his daughter and secretly gave a thumbs up. This level was finally over.
After that, the old lady unknowingly got involved with medicinal foods, and no matter how much she objected to her son, she no longer had so many reasons.
It would be great for the old lady to come home and enjoy a meal as a family. But the family is still not complete, missing Du Feng.
During the meal, Yu Yan kept praising the old lady's craftsmanship, for fear that the old lady would talk about not letting Lao Du open a small shop again.
"Mom, the black-bone chicken soup is getting better and better. Decades have passed, and your craftsmanship has always been outstanding."
The old lady took a look into the pot and didn't want to talk to Yu Yan at all, but she had to say, "There isn't much soup left in it, it almost burned, and you're still holding me."
"No, Mom, this is not to praise your craftsmanship."
"I know what you mean. If you want to do whatever you want, you can do whatever you want, whether it's opening a medicinal food shop or doing other things. I can't interfere. I just say that the current market economy is not like before. You have to think twice before doing anything.
The more unpopular something is, the more important it is to grasp it and not let others deceive it."
Lao Du felt a chill in his heart and almost choked on the sip of tea he drank. After coughing a few times, the old lady saw some problems, but did not point them out.
"Don't worry, grandma. I'll supervise dad. If anything happens, I'll report to you as soon as possible." In a funny and clever way, Du Juan once again alleviated the embarrassment.
Lao Du didn't want to hide this matter, so he took the initiative to explain it, "To tell you the truth, Mom, when we went out this afternoon, we met a liar, pretending to be an investor."
Lao Du narrated the ins and outs of the matter, and the old lady generally knew a thing or two. She also listened to Wen Xin's help in resolving the situation. The old lady was relieved of her worries, "She helped our family like this just after she returned to Beijing."
It's been a long time, Juan'er. I have to thank you very much. Doing business is not like working in a hospital. There are everyone in the business field. Let's just keep an eye on everything. No matter what happens, think about it carefully.
Make a decision again. You want to open a medicinal food shop. Mom doesn't object, but she is worried about this. It's better, Juan'er, do you think this will work? It would be great to hire your best friend directly. This can also help your dad to sort out mines.
.”
Lao Du was moved. It was rare for the old lady to be able to support him in his career after knowing the whole story. But after hearing what the old lady said, he also had this idea, "Yes, Juan'er, you fight Wen Xin."
A small relationship is good, or just let her come over."
Du Juan shook her head, "Grandma, Dad, I don't think it's possible. Wen Xin came to Beijing this time and wanted to start a career on her own. It hasn't been established here yet. It's just such an idea. And what industry does she want to enter now? I
It’s not very clear, I’ll look at it later, but I do have an idea.”
"you say."
"Dad, just after we came out of R&F City, I told Wen Xin that she would come to you as a consultant, but it would only be a part-time job. If you have any questions, dad, you can ask her directly."
"This is okay, what do Wen Xin say?"
"She agreed. She is willing to help our herbal food shop."
Lao Du became more energetic, "The relationship is good, that's a good thing. You also tell Wen Xin that our family will not treat her badly."
"What else are you telling me? One day I will cook a delicious meal and ask her to come over. By the way, where is Wen Xin? Why didn't she come with you? Just after we finished, your dad and I went to buy slippers.
Didn't pay attention."
"She just moved here, and she still has to clean up the house when she gets back. I'll ask her out someday."
"good."
Du Juan got up and picked up some food for the old lady. The couple felt quite relieved. Now the issue of starting a new business was unanimously approved by the family.
"You haven't called Xiaofeng recently, have you?"
The old lady was thinking about her grandson, but when she asked this question, Du Juan obviously felt that her mother's face was not very good-looking. Well, she escaped one disaster, but the other could not. From the last video call to now, her son Du Juan
Feng didn't take the initiative to call home, but Yuyan did make a few calls during the period, but after a few words of conversation, the mother and son started to quarrel.
"Hit."
"When will Xiaofeng come back?"
"have no idea."
"Look at you, you're still talking angrily." The old lady said it clearly. She also knew that mother and son had a bad relationship. "When Xiaofeng comes back, he will be sensible. He can't always blame you for some things, right?"
Yu Yan was speechless and spoke out, "It's been two years, but he just keeps blaming me. No matter what you say, I can't do anything. Even though I helped him make a choice, who could have imagined it?"
, this kid still holds a grudge to this day..."
The old lady waved her hand, "You can't say that, how can you say it's a grudge? After all, they are mother and son. Xiaofeng is so much younger than Juan, isn't it a rebellious period in the past few years? After this period, when I return to China
, just calm down and you’ll be fine.”
When it comes to her son Du Feng, Yu Yan still feels a little inferior. "Two years ago, if I had listened to him, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Two years ago, if you hadn't been so quick-tempered, you two wouldn't be like this." The old lady was thinking about her grandson, so her words were inevitably a little unpleasant.
"Hey! It's a rebellious period, a menopausal period, everyone has problems." Lao Du didn't want his wife to bear this matter alone. In this matter, he saw it relatively clearly.
There is affection and love among these young people; rushing towards the future and career, how can the culture of old Beijing be explained clearly by a "baby" - inheriting intangible cultural heritage, silk sculptures - "Beijing Tianjiao" is constantly exciting, thank you
