Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Xia Mingshuang had a day off the next day. He slept until he woke up naturally in the morning, and it was bright when he opened his eyes.

The weather is very cool now, so I need to cover myself with a quilt when sleeping. I will sleep particularly soundly when I get home in the morning.

When she got up the children went out again.

Now Da Zhuang and others are very busy, Miao Miao's work is on track, Lou Yuhui is not having an easy time in Gu Yunshan's laboratory, and even Xiao Zhuang goes to the library to read when he has free time.

She thought she was alone at home, but when she got dressed and went downstairs, she heard noises coming from the kitchen. It was Gu Yunshan making breakfast there.

She quietly lay down on the stairs and admired the man wearing an apron who was busy in the kitchen. He was a handsome and tall man, especially from the back, with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. His back view was invincible.

Gu Yunshan had heard her voice a long time ago. He turned around and smiled at her, his eyes as bright as stars.

Xia Mingshuang felt his heart pounding, and ran over to hug him from behind, "What delicious food are you going to give me?"

Gu Yunshan: "Didn't you want to eat wontons? I happened to have a day off today, so I made some."

The wontons made by Gu Yunshan are very similar to his own at first glance. They are serious and neat, each one is the same size, the angle of the pinch is the same, and the edges of the spread dough are also the same.

It doesn't look like homemade wontons, but more like a craft made by a chef to participate in a food competition.

Gu Yunshan knew her taste, so he added scallops to the soup to make it fresh, a little shredded mustard, sprinkled with chopped green onion, and added a dipping dish of chili oil and vinegar.

"Come, try what I cooked to see if it tastes good."

Xia Mingshuang narrowed his eyes with a smile and started to blow a rainbow fart, "What you make is the most delicious, and I like to eat what you make!"

You don’t have to cook it yourself, it will be delicious regardless of whether it has meat or vegetables.

Gu Yunshan smiled, brought a large bowl out for her, and filled another large bowl for himself.

The wontons made by Gu Yunshan are thin in skin and large in filling. Carefully bite open a corner and the delicious soup will flow into your mouth.

Xia Mingshuang narrowed his eyes and made a humming sound of praise.

"Have the children eaten?"

Gu Yunshan gestured, "No, they left early."

He made these for his wife and children. They had to make them themselves if they wanted to eat.

While I was eating, the phone rang.

Gu Yunshan stood up to answer the phone. It turned out to be Zhong Shuxian's call. He turned his head and looked at Xia Mingshuang: "Yuhui's mother, are you here to answer the call?"

Xia Mingshuang wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and hurriedly went to answer the phone, "Hello, I'm Xia Mingshuang."

Zhong Shuxian: "Mingshuang, you are at home. No one answered my call last night. Did you go out to play?"

Xia Mingshuang: "No, I worked overtime yesterday. I was so tired that I fell asleep when I came back. I'm sorry I didn't receive your call."

Zhong Shuxian naturally doesn't mind.

She wanted to communicate with Xia Mingshuang about the engagement, and wanted to make an appointment for the two families to have a meal together.

If it's her and Lou Jianjun, that's fine. They can have dinner with Xia Ming and his wife at any time. The main reason is that Mr. Lou wants to meet Miao Miao's parents.

Mr. Lou thinks that since Yuhui and Miao Miao are good friends, the parents of both parties should meet formally to show the Lou family's respect for the girl.

After all, Yuhui only fell in love because he wanted to marry someone, so his family would naturally give him more leverage.

In this era, everyone is conservative. There is no saying that you should fall in love before getting married. Basically, it is the order of your parents or the introduction of others, and you can get married after a blind date.

Mr. Lou feels that if Yuhui doesn't get married, it would be inappropriate for Yuhui to fall in love with his daughter and it would have a bad influence.

Of course, you can get engaged.

After getting engaged, falling in love becomes a matter of course.

Zhong Shuxian conveyed this central idea.

The person who does political work is still a female director. Zhong Shuxian is particularly good at speaking, making people feel comfortable and not contradictory.

Xia Mingshuang and Gu Yunshan felt that their daughter was still young and they were not in a hurry to get engaged, so they just let them get along first.

Xia Mingshuang thought that the college entrance examination was about to resume, and her daughter would definitely be able to pass it. It would not be too late to get married after graduating from college in four years.

engagement?

She pressed the microphone and whispered to Gu Yunshan: "The old man from the Lou family wants to have dinner with us to talk about the engagement for Yu Hui and Miao Miao."

Gu Yunshan said without thinking, "It's too early."

My daughter is still young.

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said: "It's not an engagement, it's not a marriage. You have to wait a few years to get married."

In this era, people generally get married later. Many people get married at 24 or [-], not at [-] or [-] like they did back then.

Gu Yunshan glanced at Xia Mingshuang and said, "If the college entrance examination is resumed, both Miao Miao and Yu Hui will have to study. Or should they wait until graduation before getting engaged?"

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said: "The children will be older by then, and they will have their own ideas."

Now that my daughter is still young, it will be up to them to decide whether to get married or continue to be in a relationship when they are 20 years old.

Gu Yunshan was a little unhappy, but he didn't refute again.

Xia Mingshuang and Zhong Shuxian continued to talk and made an appointment to have a meal together.

Zhong Shuxian said happily: "Then I will book the hotel and let you know after the booking is made."

According to her understanding, Mr. Lou must have booked the most upscale hotel in the capital, the Eight Guise type.

Zhong Shuxian wanted to follow the trend and book a hotel with Western food, such as Lao Moer at No. 135 Xizhimenwai Street, or go to the Friendship Hotel.

But she felt that the old man probably liked Quanjude, an old restaurant that was passed down from private to public ownership in the late Qing Dynasty.

After talking to Xia Mingshuang, she hung up the phone and called Mr. Lou again.

When Mr. Lou heard that Xia Mingshuang and his wife had agreed, he was so happy that he said, "I'll book the hotel."

Zhong Shuxian asked, and sure enough, the old man hesitated at several restaurants and finally booked Quanjude.

Quanjude is now famous because when the US President visited China in 74, the couple ate roast duck and Chinese cuisine in Quanjude. Later, some restaurants in the capital also advertised presidential dishes, such as roast duck, salt and pepper prawns, flavored lamb chops, and dried beef. Stir-fried shredded beef, dry-roasted green beans, etc.

Mr. Lou thought it would be better to follow the trend and invite the Gu family to eat here.

Zhong Shuxian naturally agreed.

Mr. Lou went to prepare wine again, including Moutai, red wine, rice wine, and fruit wine. Then the in-laws can drink whatever they like.

In the evening, Xia Mingshuang and Gu Yunshan came back from shopping and received a call from Zhong Shuxian, telling her the hotel they had booked and the specific time.

Xia Mingshuang agreed.

After hanging up the phone, she called Da Zhuang again. Now Miaomiao goes home every day, but a few boys are very wild and often are too busy and don't go home.

Originally, Xiao Zhuang could cling to his parents, but now that he is older, he likes to go out and play with his brothers more. He is afraid of being teased by his brothers for clinging to his parents.

The courtyard house where Da Zhuang and the others live is also equipped with a telephone. It was left behind by the previous unit. After they moved out, they applied for another line.

This place was supposed to be demolished, but Da Zhuang and the others found Lou Guochang and left the phone number.
