Mrs. Li also looked at the two carefree children and said happily: "We are really lucky to meet your family! Jiujiu rarely smiles so happily at home. It's a pity that she is far away, otherwise she would follow your family every day
Xiaoyu plays."
"Pfft..." Xu Suizhu couldn't help laughing, "Aren't you afraid that she will be led astray by Xiaoyu?"
"No! Xiaoyu is lively, not as naughty as you said."
Xu Suizhu held his forehead: "That's when you didn't see his skin. The elders in the family pampered him. If I didn't suppress him, it would be really lawless."
The lawless little bun was now teaching Jiujiu how to swim in a decent manner. He first held his breath, and then kicked his legs while holding on to the stone wall on the shore. After teaching him two steps, he collapsed on the water.
"Mom, how did I learn to swim when I was a child?"
Little Baozi feels that teaching his friends how to swim is too tiring, and he really wishes he could just transfer his swimming skills to them through the air.
"Your fifth grandfather taught you how to do it." Xu Suizhu glanced at him, "What? Are you impatient just now? It took your fifth grandfather more than half a month to teach you."
"Ah?" Little Baozi was dumbfounded, "It takes more than half a month to teach?"
Jiujiu laughed "chichi".
"Stop laughing!" Little Baozi scratched his hair in distress, "If you don't learn how to swim, next time you come to my house to play during the summer vacation, you won't be able to visit me on my back! My mother said that if you don't know how to swim, you can't crawl.
I went to Diandian and played on Xiaohu's back. I was worried for you, but you still laughed!"
"Who is Diandian?" Jiujiu tilted her head curiously.
I heard him mention Dian Dian and Xiao Hu last time, who are they?
"He's my good friend! Diandian is a very big whale shark, and it's so much fun on its back! Brother Yi and Brother Zhuangzhuang and I often slide the slide on its back! If you learn how to swim, I'll
I’ll take you there too!”
"I'll learn!" Jiujiu said immediately, then buried his head in the water, and continued to hold it in until his fair face turned crimson, then he raised his head and took a deep breath.
Little Baozi was like a little coach, saying seriously: "Well, there is progress! Chew, come on!"
"good!"
Jiu Jiu once again buried his face in the water and practiced holding his breath without moving. The little person showed a stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat.
Mrs. Li looked at the two interacting children with complicated eyes.
Is that really her baby girl who is as soft and soft as a dumpling? Was she overprotective in the past or has she never been a good mother?
"No parent holds a job certificate." Xu Suizhu patted her hand and pulled her out of the overwhelming wave of self-blame. "Like you, many of my experiences were gained slowly after having children.
It comes from nothing. How can there be no mistakes? In fact, as a parent, aren't you growing up at the same time as your children?"
"You're right!" Mrs. Li smiled relievedly, "I used to be too worried about Jiujiu's safety, so I always invited teachers to teach at home. Although I accompanied her to learn this and that, it seemed very fulfilling.
But being away from friends of the same age, such a growth experience may not be what she likes. No wonder I asked her what she likes best, but she didn’t say anything. Oil painting, piano, calligraphy, ballet... they may not be what she likes, so why not?
like the most?"
After thinking about it, Mrs. Li decided to go home and cancel these elite courses that all ladies in Hong Kong must take. She took Jiujiu out for a walk and learned what she liked. If she didn't like it, she wouldn't learn it.
As Xiaoyu's mother said, children are so young that they are not yet determined. If they are forced to learn, the children will be unable to express their pain in their hearts, and how will the parents be happy? It is better to let them enjoy their childhood.
"You are much better than me at this point!" Mrs. Li praised Xu Suizhu, "If it were me, seeing Xiaoyu's talent in breath-holding, I would have arranged a professional coach for him to stimulate his talent in this area.
potential.”
The Li family is not short of money, and the original intention of asking Jiujiu to learn this and that is not to hope that she will succeed in her studies, but the old man thinks that the juniors must be talented, and it is best to have a little bit of all talents, so as not to be ridiculed by their peers when they go out.
He just got lucky and picked up a cheap nouveau riche, but he actually has no cultural background.
Xu Suizhu smiled and shook her head. That was her reincarnation, and she looked at problems more Buddhist than others. In life, being ordinary is the truth.
When they were done playing, they took the two children into the hot spring pool and soaked in hot water for a while. Then they drank a bowl of ginger syrup while watching them, dried their hair, changed into clean clothes, and then let them go to the garden.
Xu Suizhu also went to the kitchen to check out the dishes for the evening. When guests came, they always had to prepare a few big dishes for them.
I heard from Mrs. Li that her father-in-law likes rice wine, but the family doctor doesn't recommend that he eat it regularly because he is worried that he will secretly ask the cook to cook it. The cooks hired are all Filipino servants and don't know how to cook this dish.
Xu Suizhu asked: "Is it okay to eat once in a while?"
"That's okay. Occasionally we go out to eat in a restaurant, and the old man will order one or two to satisfy his appetite."
Xu Suizhu then thought of the jar of distiller's grains and marinade stored in the parcel compartment. This was left over from the time when she made fermented chicken and duck a few years ago. She was worried that the temperature would get too high and it would spoil, so she stuffed it into the parcel compartment.
The lees are the residue left over from making sweet wine. But when she was making the sweet wine, she secretly added a few drops of multi-vitamin solution and basic health care solution into it, which made the lees taste particularly mellow.
Although he doesn’t know how to make Hong Kong-style wine lees dishes, Chef Wang of the Villa knows how to make local lees dishes.
Xu Suizhu gave the wine lees brine to Chef Wang.
Unexpectedly, Chef Wang held the jar and was reluctant to let go. He took a deep breath and asked: "Mr. Xu, this wine lees is so fragrant! Where did you buy it?"
"My aunt made it herself. If Master Wang likes it, I will leave a jar for you when she makes the sweet wine."
"That's a good feeling!"
Chef Wang rubbed his hands happily and took a look at today's ingredients. There were river shrimps and bamboo shoots sent from Shanli Village, ribs and pig's trotters bought from the pork stall in Lishan Village, and fresh seafood supplied by the fishery every day.
After a while, I decided on the dishes for the evening and started cooking.
As night fell, Xu Suizhu found the little bun who was playing wildly, and together with Mrs. Li and her daughter, they came to the private dining room of the villa while chatting and laughing.
The men also came out of the tea room. After chatting all afternoon, they still seemed to be unfinished and didn't know what they were talking about.
Twelve cold dishes of six meat and six vegetables were already placed on the table. When the old men were seated, the foreman and the waiters began to serve the hot dishes.
Li Jinyao was originally not very interested in eating. He came to the Hot Spring Resort purely to experience the natural hot springs that were not available in Hong Kong.
However, when his favorite wine-lees dishes such as pork ribs with distiller's lees, chicken with bamboo shoots and lees, drunken river shrimps with distiller's lees, and steamed yellow croaker with distiller's lees were served one after another, he couldn't sit still.
