For him, there is absolutely no doubt or confusion in married life. It is definitely an epoch-making progress.
Because marriage gives people more constraints and more responsibilities.
But it also completely eliminates the loneliness of a swan goose flying alone, giving people a lot more human pleasure.
Especially for him and Shui Qing, the specific situation is quite special.
He himself is mentally mature, but Shui Qing considers himself older than him, especially since both of them have experienced hardships and hardships in life.
This prompted the two of them to cherish this rare fate.
Their tolerance and tolerance for each other are far beyond that of ordinary couples, and they are particularly willing to consider each other's interests.
To put it bluntly, others may feel happy because love comes effortlessly.
But Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing feel happy because their love is not easy to come by.
From this perspective, there is probably no couple in the world who is more suitable, more harmonious, and more understanding of each other than them.
Therefore, a situation like "husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly apart when disaster strikes" is impossible to happen to them.
If I were to ask Hong Yanwu about his most real feeling, it was that he and Shui Qing seemed to have become a pair of chopsticks, and neither could live without the other.
No matter the ups and downs in life, they will always hold hands and taste them side by side.
This is how he feels about marriage.
As a human being, he became whole because of it.
His life can really only be described by two words: "perfect".
What? Do you think this sounds a bit exaggerated?
No, absolutely not.
Because you only need to take a random day to see how Hong Yanwu lived after his marriage, and you will be able to understand whether it is true.
Let’s take June 15th for example.
Today is Sunday, and the literary and artistic circles in the capital gather to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Russian writer Turgenev.
However, it was rare for Hong Yanwu to sleep soundly until 7:30 in the morning.
Since all three rooms in the Chen family face the east, when I woke up at this time, the ceiling was already extremely brightly illuminated by the sun.
It was already summer and the windows were half-open.
The breeze outside stirred the curtains, and the blurred window frames moved with the flow of light, like a slowly moving train.
The furniture in the house all exudes the scent of new wood in the softly lit room.
Coupled with the sound of the flapping wings of sparrows coming from the roof, the scene of waking up in the morning still made Hong Yanwu so tired that he didn't want to get out of bed.
It's a pity that Shui Qing is no longer here, otherwise it would be beautiful to be able to hug my wife and sleep again.
Of course, this regret is also the source of marital happiness.
Because there was no dust on the furniture and the smell of millet porridge coming from outside the house, Hong Yanwu knew that Shui Qing must have been busy for a long time.
For this reason, he could no longer stay in bed.
I lay down and smoked a cigarette to cheer me up, then got dressed, washed, folded the quilt and swept the bed.
We talked and laughed at breakfast, and it was quite a lively meal.
On the left of Hong Yanwu are his wife and children, and on the right is his brother Chen Liquan.
Hot porridge with pickles, Hanamaki eggs, and a plate of fried peanuts made it a comfortable and smooth meal for four people.
At half past eight, after finishing eating, Shui Qing cleared the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan helped Shui Xiaoying with the fish tank.
Brushing the tank and changing the water are essential tasks every Sunday.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for this tank of tropical foreign species such as "Peacock", "Fairy", "Red Arrow" and "Traffic Light" to maintain the tropical style.
What’s also embarrassing is that these tropical fish are also picky about their diet. They won’t eat our fish food at all and will only eat live fish and insects in the river.
This forces their owners to go to the morning market every day to buy fish and insects to feed them.
I have to say that the method figured out by Hong Yanwu is better.
That is to buy more fish and insects at one time, then put them in cans and put them on the windowsill.
This not only saves trouble, but when the sun shines on these bottles and the fish tanks in the room, it also increases the amount of attention in several rooms, giving it a very crystal world feel.
However, Shui Xiaoying is very enthusiastic about raising tropical fish, but not everyone likes this.
Shui Gengsheng and his wife were not "cold" by this.
The old lady mainly disliked the relationship between fish and insects.
She said that the little grassworm was jumping around like a needle in the bottle, which made people feel nervous and confused.
The red nematodes are thin and long, twisted into a knot, and squirming in the water, which is extremely numb.
So just for this reason, she doesn't even come here anymore, she just sends Shui Lian to call her if something happens.
Shui Gengsheng, however, has some arrogance in making excuses, which is not as good as domestic products.
He said that domestically produced goldfish have been raised for thousands of years, and how many people have put their efforts into it.
Dragon Eyes, Wangtian, Hibiscus, White Pearls, and Double Cannons, each one looks beautiful against the other.
What do these count for?
The half-sized fish cubs fished out of the river are called "Black Mary" and "Phoenix Tail". After looking at them for a long time, you can't even see their noses...
Shui Xiaoying was not happy after hearing this, so she couldn't help but interjected and said, "Grandpa, you don't understand. To appreciate tropical fish, you have to lie down and take a closer look."
But I didn't expect that Shui Gengsheng was like a child on this issue, and he would even contradict her words.
The sentence "Your grandma and I are both presbyopic" made her blink.
Of course this became a running joke in the family.
All in all, it would be past nine o'clock after the two big ones and the small one had finished playing with the fish, and this was the time when Shui Xiaoying was happiest.
Because I have to go to the park.
When the weather is hot, the best activity is of course boating.
Hong Yanwu took the water and the children to "Taoranting".
As for Quanzi, she doesn't like to be a light bulb, and she is also thinking about the plot of the novel.
It was rare for me to rest, so I simply stayed at home and watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
In this way, until 12 o'clock at noon, Hong Yanwu and the three of them came back and went to Hong's house for dinner together.
Weekends are also rare days for the Hong family to gather together.
The brothers, sisters, and three sisters-in-law of the Hong family gathered together and had a great time chatting about home affairs and what they had experienced this week.
But after a long sleep at noon, everyone couldn't sit still in the afternoon. Everyone had serious things to do.
Shui Qing had to do a week's worth of laundry, and Shui Xiaoying had to cope with her father's visit.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan also had to go to "Zhang Dashao"'s home to report.
And speaking of this matter, I have to mention one more thing.
When Hong Yanwu came back from Huacheng this time, he brought back two valuable treasures.
First, he spent more than 10,000 yuan to bring back a JVC VHS camera from the "Flower City Friendship Store".
Although it only has a resolution of 250 lines, it has been able to leave image data since then.
Through filming, it not only made it easier for him and Izumi to learn cooking skills on their own, but also allowed them to repeatedly figure out cooking skills through TV.
This means that in theory, the craftsmanship of "Zhang Dashao" can be preserved more perfectly and left to future generations forever.
Secondly, when Hong Yan was in Huacheng, he took Shui Qing and Xiaoying to visit Wenming Road and accidentally discovered a roadside stall with a long queue.
Later, when I walked over and took a look, I realized that it was the "longevity star" in Cantonese cuisine, the century-old Huacheng time-honored brand "Zhou Shengji Taiye Chicken".
I bought one from them and tasted it on the spot. It really lived up to its reputation. I felt that it left a lingering fragrance on my lips and teeth. It was extraordinary.
With such an idea, Hong Yanwu thought that his old restaurant would open sooner or later, so naturally the more signature dishes the better.
I decided to buy this recipe.
Unexpectedly, after trying to talk about it, it actually happened.
Because first, people at that time were limited in their imagination by poverty and vision.
I have limited understanding of the importance of the secret recipe. I have no concept of long-distance chaining in my mind.
The boss of "Zhou Sheng Ji" felt that Hong Yanwu was from the north and would definitely not compete with him.
Second, at that time, this "Zhou Sheng Ji" was being frequently reported by Huacheng media and was planning to expand its business scope and was in urgent need of money.
And because he really wanted it, Hong Yanwu was quite generous in taking action. He just tentatively set the price and agreed.
So in the end, the secret recipe of the authentic "Taiye Chicken" was obtained by Hong Yanwu at a cost of 20,000 yuan.
The following is not over, naturally, after returning to Beijing, I only relied on seeing the chicken cooked by the owner of "Chow Sang Ji" and the secret recipe written on a piece of paper.
The taste that Hong Yanwu could restore was not ideal, at most it was only 70% similar.
Well, how to make the original "Taiye Chicken" taste depends on "Zhang Dashao".
