At the residence of the great leader.
"Where did you hire a master?" asked the leader's guest.”
"Keep it a secret." The leader was afraid that He Yuzhu would be poached away by his old friend.
"Tsk, this Lu cuisine is too authentic. It's even better than the Lu cuisine restaurants in Beijing.”The big leader's guest praised sincerely.
Just based on his old friend's words, He Yuzhu was valued even more in the leader's heart.
The leader's wife also nodded with a smile.
She thought in her heart that just as her master had expected, she did not lose face!
He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard house with the green prawns. He planned to use the prawns to make a pot of prawn porridge for his wife.
"What are you talking about?" Qin Huairu asked as she looked at the bag in He Yuzhu's hands.
Qin Jingru, who was chatting with her cousin, was also attracted by the bag of living things in He Yuzhu's hand.
"I'll pour it out for you to see."
He found a basin for washing vegetables and poured the green prawns in the bag into the basin.
Other than that, there were also some green shrimps that He Yuzhu had placed in the spiritual spring space.
"Shrimp? There are still live shrimps in this season…"
Qin Jingru was very surprised.
He Yuzhu nodded." Yes, I brought it back specially to make porridge for your cousin."”
Sigh!
Qin Jingru sighed in her heart.
……
The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was December 31, 1954. It was a Friday.
Red Star Steel Rolling Mill organized a New Year's Eve party for its employees, but He Yuzhu did not attend. After finishing his last meal of the year in the canteen, He Yuzhu walked home. He counted the days and realized that Qin Huiru was already more than three months pregnant.
According to his medical knowledge, generally speaking, the uterus would contract easily in the first three months of a bad pregnancy, and the fetus would be unstable…
However, after three months, due to the formation of the placenta, the fetus would be relatively stable.
So...
He Yuzhu returned home and started cooking New Year's Eve dinner.
"Brother…are we not going to live anymore?”
Seeing He Yuzhu cut all kinds of meat, He Yuzhu's tears fell from the corner of his mouth.
"Learn how to make dumplings from your sister-in-law.”He Yuzhu said.
"Oh…"
He Yushui turned around and began to learn how to make dumplings. Qin Huiru carefully and patiently taught her sister-in-law.
Looking at their dilly-dallying movements, Qin Jingru had no choice but to speed up the dumplings. Otherwise, it was unknown whether she would be able to eat dumplings today!
Naturally, the meat that He Yuzhu had prepared was not finished today. There was still a portion that could be eaten until the new year. The current weather was like a natural refrigerator. If the meat was placed outside, it would freeze overnight.
Of course, He Yuzhu would not put the meat outside. He had his own ways.
The end of the year was approaching, and bandits were rampant.
There was a house in the front yard, and someone had stolen something.
He finished processing the meat.
After frying three dishes and filling a big pot with dumplings, He Yuzhu asked He Yushui to invite the old man and the old woman while he went to invite the Deaf Old Lady.
After a middle-aged woman found out that Qin Huairu was pregnant, she gave him a lot of tonics. He Yuzhu took note of it and remembered it in her heart.
Taking advantage of the new year, He Yuzhu planned to treat them to a good meal.
When He Yuzhu came to the backyard, he happened to bump into the Deaf Old Lady. He said,"Grandma, why don't you come to my place for New Year's Eve dinner?”
"What? What did you say? I can't hear you…"
"I said, I'll treat you to a meal!" He Yuzhu did not understand this mysterious old lady either. Sometimes, was she really deaf or was she faking it? She only picked what she liked to listen to.
If there was something you didn't like to hear, no matter how many times you emphasized it or raised your voice to the maximum, it would be useless.
"Carry me on your back." The Deaf Old Lady said proudly.
Seeing the Deaf Old Lady's expression, He Yuzhu said with a smile,""It's just two steps. I'll help you walk.”
"What? What did you say? I can't hear you…"
"Grandma, are you pretending to be deaf again?" He Yuzhu asked.!”
"What? What did you say? I can't hear you…"
He Yuzhu changed her tone and said,"I said I'll carry you over."”
"Grandson, squat down!"
Hey, where do you think this goes?
He Yuzhu had no choice but to squat down and let the Deaf Old Lady get on the horse before walking home.
"The old lady is here!"
Everyone in the room stood up to welcome him.
"Old Lady…"
They were an old man and an old woman.
"Grandma…"
These were the Qin sisters and He Yushui.
Everyone took their seats.
He Yuzhu picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for the old man, then poured another glass for himself.
Have a few drinks.
The Deaf Old Lady picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of Twice-cooked Pork, and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it carefully.
He Yuzhu looked at her and asked,"Grandma, how's my cooking?"”
The Deaf Old Lady gave him a thumbs up and said,"It's even better than your grandfather's!"”
"Thank you. It's not easy to get such praise from you!”He Yuzhu said.
The Deaf Old Lady frowned slightly and said,""What? What did you say? I can't hear you…"
"I said, thank you for your praise!”
"Grandson, you're welcome."
"Fine, you just want to call me grandson.”
He Yuzhu placed a bowl of dumplings in front of the deaf old lady.""Try the dumplings made by your granddaughter-in-law.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru glanced at her cousin-in-law. What granddaughter-in-law? 90% of the dumplings were made by me, and less than 10% were made by her cousin. He Yushui was a hooligan.
In other words, the Deaf Old Lady has a 90% chance of eating the dumplings I made.
So, I'm about to be the…granddaughter-in-law that my brother-in-law mentioned?!
Qin Jingru was inexplicably happy!
The deaf old lady did not know what was going on. She only wanted to praise Qin Huiru. After taking a bite of the dumpling, she said,""Hey, these dumplings taste so good. As expected of the dumplings made by my granddaughter-in-law.”
"Thank you, Grandma." Qin Huiru smiled.”
The Deaf Grandmother nodded with a smile. Then, she looked at Qin Huiru's slightly bulging belly and asked,""Granddaughter-in-law, you're probably three or four months pregnant.”
"Yes."
The whole family was chatting while eating.
This kind of warm atmosphere was the most heartwarming.
The deaf old lady, an old man, and an old woman who had no children felt a surge of warmth in their hearts.
After dinner,
It's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away.
He Yuzhu carried the deaf old lady back.
After cleaning up with Qin Jingru and his sister, He Yuzhu fetched a basin of water for Qin Huiru to wash her feet.
After washing her feet,
"Huairu, you're already more than three months pregnant…" He Yuzhu whispered into her ear.
After listening,
"Will this work?" Qin Huairu felt a little excited and blushed.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." He Yuzhu smiled evilly.”
……
The next morning, the faint sound of firecrackers could be heard in the courtyard.
A year's end amid the sound of firecrackers.
January 1st, 1955.
The old bull, He Yuzhu, who was still sleeping, felt extremely tired.
