Chapter 182 Family reunion, missing the second sister
Considering that there are many people eating at noon, Zhang Yu will not cook those fancy dishes.
A large plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, a large plate of pot-roasted pork, a large plate of fried eggplant boxes, a bowl of egg soup, and a cucumber mixed in.
As for the amount of food, Northeastern cuisine is really good. Not only is it large in quantity, it tastes delicious, it also fills you up, and it’s easy to cook.
I'll wait for the opportunity to cook a famous Northeastern dish, chicken stewed with mushrooms to satisfy my craving.
Now Zhang Yu's cooking skills have improved greatly, and he knows more and more things. Of course, chicken stewed with mushrooms is not a problem.
It’s just that the ingredients are a bit difficult to come by. I happened to go into the mountains in the afternoon to see if there are any mushrooms.
Logically speaking, the authentic chicken stewed with mushrooms should use hazelnut mushrooms, but they are one of the unique treasures of the Northeast.
There is no such thing in North China. Travel is inconvenient in this era. It is not worth traveling to the Northeast just for some hazelnut mushrooms. I can only use shiitake mushrooms instead.
As soon as Zhang Yu had done almost everything, Zhang's father and the others came back.
Dad Zhang saw the bicycles parked in the yard and immediately recognized that one of them was Zhang Yu's bicycle.
"Damn it, is Xiaoyu back?"
In the room, Zhang's mother, who was chatting with Mengyi, heard that Zhang's father and the others were back.
He quickly pulled Mengyi out of the house.
"Old man, look who is here."
"Dad."
"Oh, it's Mengyi here! Hahahaha, good, good."
When Father Zhang saw his daughter-in-law coming, he immediately became happy and his eyes narrowed into a thin line.
"Eldest brother, sister-in-law, third sister."
The third sister jogged two steps and came to Mengyi, looking at Mengyi's bulging belly.
"Then what, Mengyi, can I touch your belly?"
As soon as the third sister saw Mengyi's pregnant belly, she began to fantasize about the birth of her little nephew, and her heart was filled with anticipation.
"Of course you can. Third sister, please touch me. My nephew will like you very much."
When the third sister heard what Mengyi said, she immediately stretched out her hand to touch it happily.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The sudden sound made the third sister tremble. Everyone looked for the sound and found out that it was Zhang Yu, a brat who was causing trouble.
"Dad, eldest brother, sister-in-law, are you back?"
"Uncle, eldest brother, sister-in-law, third sister."
Meng Guo and Meng Xue quickly followed their brother-in-law and greeted everyone.
"Hey! You stinky boy, why, you don't like to scream when you see the third sister, do you?"
The third sister listened to Zhang Yu shouting in a circle, but did not call herself. She felt awkward and refused to be polite to Zhang Yu. She grabbed Zhang Yu's clothes and questioned him.
"Hey, hey, can you be more civilized? I didn't have time to scream. Why are you so anxious?"
Don't look at Zhang Yu's talk, but if the third sister really wants to take action, Zhang Yu will immediately give up.
I can't help it. I have been trained by my third sister since I was young, and I feel a little bit shadowy in my heart.
What's more, Zhang Yu's second sister, his patron, is not at home, so he feels even more timid.
Hurry up and say a few nice words to praise the third sister.
"Third sister, you are getting more and more beautiful!"
"Humph, you are full of nice words, but at first glance it seems that you are not really complimenting me, and I am too lazy to pay attention to you."
The third sister could tell the truth as soon as she heard it, and she knew that Zhang Yu was not sincerely praising him.
But now that my sister-in-law is like this, it’s hard for the third sister to teach Zhang Yu a lesson, so my sister-in-law feels sorry for this brat.
"Come on, Mengyi, let's sit down and chat in the room."
He turned around and pulled Mengyi into the house, followed by Zhang's father, elder brother and sister-in-law.
When the eldest brother walked to Zhang Yu, he gave Zhang Yu a thumbs up.
Awesome, he is a man. If he dares to provoke this female devil, he is like a dung beetle - he has found the wrong person.
"Uncle, have you brought back the good times?"
The girl looked at Zhang Yu longingly, and Huzi also looked at Zhang Yu expectantly.
"Well, let me give my uncle a kiss and he will tell you."
Zhang Yu squatted on the ground, put his arms around the girl, and said softly.
The girl lay directly on Zhang Yu's face and took a bite.
Afraid that Zhang Yu would find it not enough, he took several bites.
After smearing Zhang Yu's face, Hu Zi, the boy, was afraid that Zhang Yu would only give it to his sister and not to himself, so he hugged Zhang Yu's head and took several bites.
"Okay, okay, okay, don't kiss. My uncle has some toffee for you two. Come into the house quickly and ask if your grandma is going."
"Oh...! There are toffees to eat!"
When the two little guys heard that they were buying candies, they were too lazy to bother Zhang Yu anymore and ran into the house with their little hands lined up.
My sister-in-law felt that it was quite rude for the two children not to even say thank you, so she quickly added.
"Xiaoyu, the child is a little naughty, don't mind it!"
"Hey~, sister-in-law, we are all from the same family and we don't talk about the two families. It's good for the children to do some shopping so that they won't be bullied when they grow up."
"That's it, I'll go inside and take care of the kids first."
"Hey! Sister-in-law, please be busy."
When his sister-in-law entered the house, Zhang Yu asked Meng Guo and Meng Xue to follow them. After all, the kitchen was almost busy, and they were not needed much anymore. He just happened to go in to accompany Meng Yi.
Zhang Yu generally tidied up the kitchen and was about to carry the plate into the house. Unexpectedly, before he could step out, the third sister came in.
It's better to come early than to come late. As for the correct labor force, the third sister took the initiative to send it to your door.
"Come on, come on, third sister, you are here just in time. Please help me carry the plate into the house."
"Ah? Did you cook just now?"
The third sister looked at the plates placed on the stove and said in surprise.
"That's right! I see you are so busy and have meetings and so on, so I might as well do it."
"Let's go, Third Sister, let's go into the house. Why are you hanging around?"
Zhang Yu walked in the lead carrying shredded potatoes and pot-wrapped pork.
Because the portion of the stir-fry was large, Zhang Yu just served one dish and divided it into two plates, so that he would not have to stand up and reach out to pick it up.
Mengyi saw Zhang Yu and his brother and sister coming in with plates, and wanted to arrange for Meng Guo and Meng Xue to help.
The eldest brother quickly waved his hand and pressed Mengguo Mengxue in place.
"No, no, no, you are just a guest. There is no reason for the guest to carry the plate. I'll go, I'll go."
The eldest brother stood up and went to the kitchen to help Zhang Yu carry the dishes.
There weren’t many plates to begin with, but as soon as my eldest brother joined me, they were all finished in one trip.
Seeing that the food was all served, the eldest brother hurriedly greeted everyone to the table.
"Come on, come on, mom and dad, Meng Yi, Meng Guo Mengxue, come over for dinner."
The eldest brother went into the back room and came out with a bottle of liquor.
"Let's drink less at noon today. The three of us will drink this bottle."
"In the afternoon, there will be a meeting in the brigade. Dad and I can't drink too much, as we will be criticized easily. Xiaoyu, please be patient."
"When it's evening, I'll have a drink with you, okay?"
Originally, Zhang Yu and Mengyi finally came back. Logically speaking, they had to have a good drink at noon.
After all, family reunion is more joyful than anything else.
Just looking at the room full of people, the eldest brother missed Er Yatou a little. Ever since he got married and went to the army, he hasn't seen Er Yatou for a long time.
The eldest brother was a little emotional for a moment.
Maybe the two brothers have a good understanding. Zhang Yu knows that his eldest brother misses his second sister, and Zhang Yu also misses his second sister.
It has been a long time since he joined the army, and he has not seen his second sister write a letter home. Zhang Yu always misses his second sister.
