Chapter 389: we won't eat winter melon in the future
Li Haitang was working overtime for a meeting this evening. He didn't come to pick up the two children from school. Jiang Chuheng came to pick them up on time.
The two children did well in kindergarten, and the teacher praised them today. Duoduo's little lizard didn't come out to scare people. She carefully kept it in her schoolbag. Even if she fed it, she brought it to a secret place to feed her brother and sister. She did not feed it directly in the classroom.
Both brother and sister were very happy to receive the teacher's praise. After driving a distance, Duoduo suddenly suggested, "Dad, let's go buy some red bean cake."
"Okay." Anyway, it was on the way home, so Jiang Chuheng naturally agreed.
"Dad, we went to buy red bean cake with mom last time. Mom likes it too. Let's buy more today." An' an said.
Jiang Chuheng nodded, "Sure. Later, dad goes to line up to buy some red bean cakes. You two sit in the car and rest. I'll be back soon." There were always more things to do in the queue with the two children, so he saved a lot of time by himself.
"Okay." Brother and sister agreed, but Duoduo also made a small request: "Dad, I'm thirsty. I've finished the water in the kettle. I want to drink orange juice."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you. Does An' an want it?" Jiang chuheng asked his son.
"Dad, I don't want orange juice, I want grape juice."
"Okay."
There are many kinds of drinks on the market nowadays, but Cam drinks are the leader in the country. There are more than 20 kinds of new flavors introduced, such as orange juice and grape juice, which are particularly popular. As the second largest shareholder, their family naturally did not lack drinks, but both of them tried their best to make their children drink less drinks, usually even if they wanted to drink fresh juice for them to drink.
After parking the car, jiang chuheng found a convenience store nearby to buy drinks for his children and a bottle of mineral water for himself.
By the time he had lined up to buy the red bean cake, it was already half an hour later. Just as he was about to drive home, he received a call from Li Haitang, "Honey, is the meeting over?"
"Yes, are you home yet?"
"Not yet. Just now, Duoduo wanted to eat red bean cake. I accompanied them to buy it. After waiting in line for half an hour, I just got it and was ready to go home. Are you coming home from work now, or do you have to work overtime?"
Li Haitang said with a smile in his voice, "I still have something to do. It will take me about ten minutes. You guys go home first. I just called Brother Liao, and he drove over to pick me up."
"Okay, then we'll wait for you at home for dinner." Jiang Chuheng hung up the phone and got into the car to tell the two children, "Mom will come back to eat with us later. Let's go home and take a shower. We'll eat when she comes back."
"Okay."
Jiang Chuheng turned around and drove back to Xuehai bookstore. When he passed by, An' an suddenly pointed at the bookstore and told him, "Dad, the last time I bought my comic book was at that bookstore."
He glanced out casually and saw the sign of the bookstore. He always felt that the name of the bookstore seemed a little familiar. He had heard of it somewhere but could not remember it for a moment. He did not think too much about what he could not remember.
The father and son soon returned home. The food was already ready, but the meal was delayed because they were waiting for Li Haitang.
Jiang Chuheng went upstairs with his briefcase and casually instructed his children, "An' an, Duoduo, put your schoolbag back in your room, take a bath, and then go into the study after dinner to review today's lessons."
"Yes, dad." Now that school has started, the brother and sister's learning attitude has also been improved.
When Li Haitang returned home, she saw that both of the children had taken a bath and were sitting on the sofa eating red bean cake while watching cartoons. She immediately went back to her room, washed briefly, and quickly went downstairs to eat with her family.
"An' an, Duoduo, don't eat red bean cake. Come and eat." Jiang chuheng shouted at them.
The two children immediately got up. Seeing that they had cooked their favorite braised tofu and steamed ribs with taro tonight, they all cried out happily, "We have to eat more tonight."
"Okay, eat more." Li Haitang filled them with a big bowl of rice and asked, "What did you eat at school today?"
"It's still winter melon." An' an's small face crumpled up when he talked about school food.
"Haha..." A few adults were amused by his cute expression. As soon as the new semester started, the first meal was the winter melon that he hated the most. No wonder it was this expression.
Li Haitang was also amused by his son, holding his little face and kissing him fiercely. He also made up his mind, "We will not eat winter melon in the future."
An' an was a little shy and happy to be kissed like this by her mother. She smiled shyly and ate with her head down with a spoon.
"Come on, the ribs are very soft and rotten. Eat more." Li Haitang picked up some food for both his children.
"Mom, you too." The two children did not need their father to teach them, and they also gave their mother a piece back.
Jiang Chuheng also put ribs in his wife's bowl, and he put taro in his bowl. The three of them liked ribs, steamed and sweet and sour ribs, so they often bought ribs at home. He was not picky about what he ate. He could eat all kinds of meat and vegetables. Duoduo probably inherited this from him.
"Haitang, your mother came over this afternoon and sent over some smoked bacon sausages from her hometown." Peng Yumei suddenly told her something.
"Who smoked it? Why is it bacon this season?" Li Haitang asked.
Peng Yumei also asked at that time and relayed Li Xiaoqin's words to her, "It was your grandfather and grandmother who smoked in their hometown. They said that the two old people lived in their hometown this year, so they had nothing to do but smoke some wax. They sent a lot of them to the capital. These were specially sent to you."
"Oh."
Li Haitang had heard her say this before. The old couple of Li Fugui were both healthy. Now that they were getting older, they wanted to go back to their hometown more and more. A few years ago, they also built a red brick house on the original foundation of their hometown. The two of them went back to live for a period of time from time to time. Their two uncles still worked in the provincial city, so the number of times they went back to their hometown was much less.
"Mom, let's have the bacon tomorrow night, less chili." An' an also likes to eat bacon, but he can't eat too spicy food.
"Okay, I'll steam it with a little chili tomorrow night."
After receiving the old man's kindness, it was natural not to not return the gift for nothing. Li Haitang asked Peng Yumei to take the time to go to the big pharmacy to buy some high-grade chinese medicine tonics back, and planned to send them back by mail at the weekend to express his gratitude.
After dinner, Li Haitang watched cartoons with her children for half an hour, then reviewed her lessons with them. While jiang chuheng took them to practice boxing, she went back to her study to deal with the unfinished work during the day.
It was almost ten o' clock again. In order not to disturb the rest of her husband and children, she took a bath as soon as possible and went to bed to accompany them to rest.
