Zhang Yu carried the fish and meat back to the kitchen, putting the meat aside first.
I found a knife handle, finished processing the mackerel, and soaked it in water for a while.
Then take it to the chopping board and cut into pieces, then chop the onions, ginger and garlic and set aside.
Zhang Yu turned around and heated up the charcoal stove, put in lard, put onions, ginger, garlic, and mackerel into the pot and stir-fried briefly.
Pour in water, cover the pot, and set the time.
Feeling like vomiting, he started to put away the pork. Zhang Yu planned to make a braised pork dish, and happened to have potatoes at home.
After working hard for a while, Huzi came back early and was helping Goudan wash clothes outside.
In addition to the mackerel soup and braised pork, Zhang Yu also had a plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes and fried an egg pancake with scallions.
There is also a dish of vinegar cabbage.
Although there are only a few dishes, the portions are substantial.
The two adults, including a table full of children, were all full.
Especially for the mackerel soup, there is only one soup basin left.
After the meal, Huzi led his brothers and sisters to clean up the restaurant.
After cleaning up the house, Huzi and Yatou were ready to go home.
"Uncle, the girl and I are going back first."
Zhang Yu also wants to keep the two children to play for a while.
"Are you leaving now? No more fun?"
"Uncle, if it's too late, my parents will have to come find us."
The main reason is that Hu Zi is afraid of being beaten if he goes back too late.
Zhang Yu glanced outside and found that it was already quite dark.
"Would you like me to give you a gift?"
"No need, uncle, we know the way."
After Huzi finished speaking, he took the girl and walked out.
Within two steps, Zhang Yu pulled him back.
"Hey, wait a moment, I'll find a flashlight for you two."
Mengyi went back to the house and took out the flashlight, turned on the switch and tried it. It was estimated that the power was quite sufficient, so she handed the flashlight to the two children.
"Huzi, girl, you two should be careful on your way back."
"If a stranger talks to your house, don't pay attention to him and just go home."
Mengyi gave a few uneasy instructions.
"Auntie, I know, you and my brother-in-law don't come out."
Huzi took the girl and walked out of the door quickly.
Zhang Yu followed him out until he came out of the alley and saw the two children walking onto the road. Zhang Yu then returned home with confidence.
Mengyi saw Zhang Yu coming back.
"The two children are on the road."
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Well, Huzi is not young anymore, so he has no problem protecting his sister."
He sat back on the sofa, poured a cup of hot tea for Mengyi and himself, patted the space beside him, and asked Mengyi to sit down.
"Did you delay anything during my absence from home these days?"
Without waiting for Mengyi's answer, Nuannuan raised her hands and wanted to speak.
"I know I know."
"Really? Then Nuan Nuan, tell me, is dad delayed?"
"Yes, my aunt is coming back. She has written a letter to my mother and grandma."
Zhang Yu was somewhat surprised to hear that Mengxue was coming back.
"Really, Mengxue is coming back?"
Mengyi nodded affirmatively.
"I received it yesterday. Mengxue said in the letter that it will be at the station tomorrow."
"The relationship is good, what time is the train tomorrow?"
"The letter said it was about nine o'clock."
"Hahaha, okay, I'll drive to pick her up tomorrow."
"Hey! This girl, Mengxue, has the right to be the child raised by the two of us."
"When we got married, Mengxue was just that old."
"At that time, Mengxue was helping us watch Nuannuan and Xinxin."
This topic aroused Mengyi's thoughts.
"Well, Mengxue is sensible even when she is little. She is much more obedient than that brat from Mengguo."
"I guess Goudan is just following his uncle, and they are all acting like little monkeys."
"Hey! I don't know when this guy from Mengguo will come back."
Speaking of this, Mengyi's eyes were filled with longing.
No matter how good Meng Guo is, he is still her biological brother. Mengyi feels particularly uncomfortable every time she thinks about it after not seeing him for these years.
Zhang Yu held Mengyi tightly in his arms.
"Okay, okay, I guess Mengguo will be here soon."
Just after he finished speaking, Zhang Yu suddenly remembered something.
"I remember that Mengguo is in the southwest, right?"
"Yes, didn't I say that in the letter?"
Mengyi asked with a puzzled look.
"Grass!"
Zhang Yu couldn't help but curse.
Zhang Yu suddenly remembered that there was going to be a big war on the border over there.
Mengyi thought something happened to Zhang Yu.
He quickly broke away from Zhang Yu's arms and looked at Zhang Yu nervously.
"Zhang Yu, are you hiding something from me?"
Zhang Yu immediately realized that he was a little stressed just now and quickly waved his hand.
I just thought of a reason and decided to fool him.
"No, no, I just think the living customs there are too different from ours."
"This kid is over there, I don't know if he's adapted to it."
Mengyi didn't delve into this either.
"Hey, you scared me. I thought there was some secret incident."
"When I went to Mengguo, I was really uncomfortable."
"The living environment, customs, and food there are quite different from those here."
"I was a little acclimatized at first, but after several years of training, Mengguo has long been able to adapt to everything there."
"Besides, they spend most of their time with the army and almost never go out with them."
"The troops themselves take into account the differences between the north and the south, so the troops are well prepared."
"Didn't Meng Guo mention these things in his heart?"
