Comrade Su Luomei asked Li Yi not to come to her for the next two days, as she was busy with something.
Although Li Yi still didn't know what she was going to do.
The next morning, Su Luomei got up early and went to the vegetable market.
Because we live in a commercial apartment, we have all the necessary equipment such as a kitchen.
She bought a bunch of ingredients and was tinkering in the kitchen.
"Half a catty of ribs, half a catty of chicken feet, 10 mushrooms, 5 scallops, and 3 slices of ginger." Su Luomei has been making soup for a lifetime, so a pot of Laohuo soup was born under her preparation.
She packed a box full of soup, carried the thermos box, and came to Firefly Cosmetics Company.
When Su Luomei walked to the front desk, Xia Yaoting saw her.
Xia Yaoting was a little surprised. She walked up and asked, "Aunt Su, are you here?"
"Yes, is Xiaoya here?" Su Luomei asked anxiously.
At first, Xia Yaoting didn't realize who Xiaoya was, but later she realized it was Manager Cheng.
"She's here, I'll take you there." Xia Yaoting led the way.
Su Luomei passed by the office area and greeted the employees.
After she left, the employees started talking.
"Li Yi's mother is so young."
"Yes, I think Auntie must have been a great beauty before."
"Auntie, why are you here today?"
"Who knows?"
Xia Yaoting walked to Cheng Yajie's office and knocked on the door.
Cheng Yajie responded: "Please come in."
Xia Yaoting opened the door and said, "Manager Cheng, Aunt Su is here."
Cheng Yajie was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately stood up when she saw Su Luomei's figure.
"Auntie, are you here so early?" Cheng Yajie stepped forward and asked with concern.
Su Luomei nodded, "Yes, yes, I am an old man and I go to bed early and get up early. I don't delay your work, right?"
"No, no." Cheng Yajie looked up at Xia Yaoting and signaled.
Xia Yaoting was very sensible and immediately closed the door and walked out.
After seeing the door closed, Cheng Yajie pulled Su Luomei and sat down: "Auntie, what do you want to see me for today?"
"What can happen? Auntie made some soup for you. Drink it while it's hot." Su Luomei took out the thermos box neatly and opened the lid.
Cheng Yajie was surprised, "Auntie, did you cook this for me to drink?"
"Of course!" After Su Luomei said this, he changed his mind again: "There are also children."
Only then did Cheng Yajie remember the joke she made yesterday, and wondered if Li Yi hadn't explained it to her clearly?
Or maybe Su Luomei didn't believe her son at all.
When she thought of Li Yi's furious look, Cheng Yajie felt inexplicably relieved.
Cheng Yajie looked at the full box of soup inside and said in surprise: "Auntie, you don't want me to drink all the soup, do you?"
"Of course!" Su Luomei nodded: "Of course you have to drink it all. This soup is very beneficial for newly pregnant women."
Cheng Yajie had no choice but to swallow a mouthful of saliva, thinking about the reason why she had sown it. She wanted to eat the fruit while kneeling down, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, I'll drink it."
"Hey, that's good."
Su Luomei was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's behavior.
"Auntie, what kind of soup is this?" Cheng Yajie is from Jiangnan. The soup she usually drinks is clear and mellow, with crispy meat and rich flavor.
But this soup didn't quite taste right, it was a little sweet and bland.
"This soup is mushroom, scallop and pork ribs soup."
Su Luomei continued: "This is a recipe for nourishing the fetus. Because it is rich in calcium, it is very effective in strengthening bones and muscles."
Only then did Cheng Yajie realize that it was Guangfu soup, so she nodded and praised: "It tastes good."
"It tastes good, right? If it tastes good, drink more. Don't be like that kid. Every time I make soup for him, he refuses to drink it." Seeing Cheng Yajie say the word "delicious", Su Luomei was worried.
The big boulder finally fell down.
"Auntie, how did you do this?" Cheng Yajie asked Su Luomei while drinking.
The greatest joy for an elderly person is to humbly ask her for advice on cooking techniques.
Su Luomei immediately said excitedly: "Let me tell you, it's not difficult. First boil a pot of boiling water, put the ribs and chicken feet into the boiling water and blanch them to remove the blood and fishy smell, and then add
Fill eight percent of the water with water, wait until the water boils, add all the ingredients, cook over high heat for 20 minutes, then turn to low heat and simmer for about two hours and it’s done!”
"By the way, you need to prepare a piece of old ginger and cut it into 3 slices for later use to avoid removing the smell, do you know?"
After hearing about the process of making this soup, Cheng Yajie was very surprised. How many hours would it take to make this soup?
"You, what time did you go to buy ingredients in the morning?" Cheng Yajie asked.
Su Luomei thought for a moment, "Let's go to five o'clock. I told you to go to the vegetable market early to buy fresh ingredients."
Cheng Yajie felt distressed for a moment, "Auntie, thank you for the soup."
"It's okay. By the way, I'll make astragalus and seabass soup for you tonight. This soup tastes good. It can cure edema and fetal dysphoria, and it can also replenish qi and blood." After searching these effects online, Sulomet came up with one word.
Memorized it word by word.
Cheng Yajie immediately shook her head: "Auntie, no, no need to go to such trouble."
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome." Su Luomei said with a smile on her face: "You are pregnant with my grandson now, can I say it's troublesome? Don't be afraid, it's nothing to give birth to a child, it's just like an old hen laying eggs.
It came out in a swish.”
Cheng Yajie:
Cheng Yajie wanted to confess that she was not pregnant with Li Yi's child.
But there is some selfishness in my mind.
In the past two years, she stayed alone in Hangzhou, helpless, and climbed up step by step with her own hands.
After finally climbing to the position of the head of the marketing department, Min Jiuyan unexpectedly made him lose his job and resign.
Fortunately, Li Yi's help allowed him to have a company in name only.
She thought about it and realized that she hadn't been home to see her parents for more than a year.
Thinking of this, she was looking forward to someone treating her well. Su Luomei was like her mother, with eyes full of care.
Just when Cheng Yajie was struggling, Su Luomei stood up: "Anyway, you should take good care of your baby. Auntie will do the soup making."
"I won't disturb your work. I'm going back first. Don't be too tired. You won't be able to look at the computer until you're done. There's radiation."
If Li Yi were here at this moment, he would definitely find these nagging words very annoying, but in Cheng Yajie's view, these are all expressions of love.
Cheng Yajie shed tears and nodded: "Okay, Auntie, I listen to you."
"That's right." Su Luomei waved her hand: "No need to send me off, I'll go back by myself."
"Would you like me to ask a colleague to take you back? Our company has a car." Cheng Yajie asked with concern.
Su Luomei waved her hand, "No, it's no big deal, I'm not old yet, I still have to wait to have my grandson."
After the door closed, Cheng Yajie fell into hesitation and looked at her belly.
