Bai Lan and Uncle Yang knew that Li Yufeng was coming. Today, except for the guests who made dinner reservations a week in advance, they will not accept the rest. The sign "Sold Out" has been hanging outside the door for a whole day. Looking forward to their return.
There are not many cars on the road these days, there is no such thing as a traffic jam, driving is convenient, and returning to Bali Hutong is just in time for dinner.
Not busy unloading luggage, Su Xiaoxiao took Li Yufeng and the others to dinner first.
"Mother, this small restaurant in our family is called 'Three Meals and Four Seasons'. It will be moved to Brother Gu's shopping mall next year, and it will no longer be opened here."
When I came here, it was just the beginning of the lanterns. The capital was vast and atmospheric, with tall buildings and bright lights. It looked prosperous, but the bare depression on the branches was compared to the south where the trees were evergreen. Li Yufeng felt that there was still a little less firework. It was not until Su Xiaoxiao drove the car into the alley and saw the courtyards with fireworks on the roofs that she began to feel a little more at ease.
Li Yufeng nodded: "It's better here, better than the streets outside."
Su Xiaoxiao instructed the cubs: "You take grandma to dinner first, and mother park the car in front."
Xiao Tang Yuan led her grandmother into the "Three Meals and Four Seasons", a white dumpling rushed out with a big tail, Li Yufeng subconsciously protected Xiao Tang Yuan in her arms.
Xiao Tangyuan said: "Grandma, don't be afraid. It's called cotton candy. It's very good and doesn't bite."
Li Yufeng asked in surprise, "Is it a dog?" The local dogs in Sujia Village are either black or yellow, a thin one, dirty and always shedding hair. Li Yufeng can't believe that this dog can still grow on it. A snow-white satin.
Xiao Tang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, grandma, it's a dog." Xiao Tang Yuan reached out to touch the marshmallow, and the marshmallow arched her palm obediently, very obedient.
Li Yufeng didn't know that the marshmallows were brought with them from Qingfeng Town, and she also felt that the capital was outstanding, and even the dogs looked different from other places.
Children often talk about Sujia Village and their relatives there. Sujia Sanbao also came to live in the capital. Bai Lan and Uncle Yang are no strangers to Li Yufeng. Li Yufeng felt kind to them when he saw them. After dinner, Li Yufeng was still rushing to wash the dishes. Grandma Tiantian kept saying that it was her job, and joked that she was going to take her job. Li Yufeng couldn't resist, and the bowl was naturally not washed.
After eating, Li Yufeng immediately divided the things he brought over into several parts. The old guys in the store gave one share, Grandpa Zhuzi took one, Gu Zhanwang took one, Uncle Han Cheng took one, and Han Cheng took one. The teacher has to share a share... The more she points, the more she feels that it is not enough.
Li Yufeng murmured while dividing: "The capital is too far away, and it is not easy to carry things after transferring from the car to the plane. If you can take a little more by train, even if you bring such a few things, it is not easy to distribute."
Su Xiaoxiao was a little speechless: "Mother, this is not Qingfeng Town, there are not so many people in the world, we don't communicate much with Uncle Hancheng, and it is impossible for Brother Gu to cook, so let's just give Zhuzi and Teacher Hancheng a share. , the rest stay in the restaurant, everyone can eat."
Li Yufeng was not so stubborn in these matters. After all, it was only her daughter who knew how to get along with them, so she simply ignored it and let Su Xiaoxiao distribute it.
She glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost ten o'clock, but Xiaoroubao hadn't come back yet: "Isn't Xiaoroubao back to sleep?"
Su Xiao smiled and said, "Usually if I don't come back at nine o'clock, I'm sleeping at Big Brother Gu's place. Big Brother Gu will send someone to tell me in advance if there's anything to do. Don't worry, mother, you won't treat yourself badly wherever you go."
Li Yufeng said: "I just want to make small meat buns. The small dumplings have grown so big, and the small meat buns are even bigger."
Su Xiaoxiao: "He will stay for one night at most, and he will be back tomorrow. Go to bed first."
Li Yufeng slept on the kang for the first time, and she was not used to it: "Daughter, I can't sleep on the kang because it's too hot, or I should go to the next room to sleep."
Su Xiaoxiao was not used to it when she first arrived, and she knew that it was difficult for her old man, and she didn't know when she would be able to install underfloor heating.
"Mother, it's too cold in the north, and you can't stand it without burning the kang. It's not that hot in the second half of the night. I'll get you a quilt and put it on. You should wear less clothes and sleep on your side. I'm not used to it when I first came here. are used to it."
Li Yufeng sighed with emotion: "The capital is good, but it's really not suitable for me. I rubbed the cream on my body and it was itchy, and I was always thirsty. I had to go to the toilet after drinking water, and it was cold when I got up to go to the toilet. Just shivering, it's better for Sujia Village and Qingfeng Town."
Li Yufeng is not a picky person. On the contrary, she can endure hardships very well. When she was young, she tried to build roads and sleep with the big guys on the haystacks on the side of the road. She was really unable to adapt to the northern climate.
Su Xiaoxiao originally planned to take over the old man's house, and she also wanted to take over the eldest brother and the second brother's family and her father in the future, but now it seems that it is just her wishful thinking. Familiar people and things, and more importantly, the climate. The climate difference between the north and the south takes a long time for young people to adapt, not to mention the elderly?
Su Xiaoxiao hugged Li Yufeng: "Mother, you're here, I'll take you for a walk for two more days. If you really can't get used to it, go back earlier. I want to understand, as long as our hearts are together, no matter how far apart we are. It's okay, just sometimes, I really miss you."
Li Yufeng touched her daughter's head: "Mother knows, mother also thinks the same way. How can she not leave her when she is older? As long as you know that you are living well, mother can feel at ease wherever she is."
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed Li Yufeng's neck, she really liked her mother too much.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't mention the matter of buying a yard for the three treasures for the time being. After the transfer of the yard was completed, she did not plan to repair it for the time being.
Li Yufeng slept in a daze in the first half of the night, but she slept well in the second half of the night, but she didn't get up early. When she got up, the children had already returned from exercising and brought back breakfast, which made her a little embarrassed.
"It's so cold, why don't you get up and exercise?" Li Yufeng knew that they had always been in the habit of exercising, but she didn't expect that it would be uninterrupted in such a cold day, and her daughter hadn't gotten up yet.
Rice ball: "Grandma, we're all used to it. Let's see if breakfast suits your appetite. If you don't like it, go to the restaurant to eat it."
Li Yufeng waved his hand: "It's enough if you can eat enough, and grandma is not picky eater."
Rice ball: "Then I'll put it in the pot and heat it up. There are porridge, soy milk, and steamed buns. Mom can eat it when she wakes up."
Li Yufeng really thinks that her daughter is lucky. Everyone is a mother to take care of the children. She is the opposite. She sleeps until she wakes up naturally during the holidays, and the children turn to take care of her mother. Just to take care of the children's three meals a day, she really has nothing to worry about.
Xiaoroubao came back at about 9:30. Last night, Gu Zhanwang took him to see some exhibition, then took him to dinner, and then he followed him home, and he was corrupted from him again. A box of chocolates and a box of egg rolls, saying that my grandma is here and I want to bring it back to my grandma as a gift.
The porcelain small meat pier in a big padded jacket threw a gift into her grandmother's arms, almost knocking Li Yufeng down.
Xiao Tangyuan stared at him: "Third brother, please slow down, grandma is going to crash you!"
Xiaoroubao squeamishly said, "I just miss my grandma. Did my grandma miss Xiaoroubao? This is a gift for my grandma. I got it from my godfather." The little guy is sincere.
Li Yufeng took his gift and put it aside, hugging her good grandson and smiling until she couldn't see her teeth: "You are sincere, the little meat bag is too tall and heavy, but you think about grandma badly. After your movie was staged, you didn't even notice. I know how many people ask you, but grandma can't answer."
Xiaoroubao: "Then grandma said that when we return to Sujia Village, they are welcome to bring gifts to visit us at any time!"
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing: "Why don't you bring gifts? Why don't you just accept tickets?"
Xiaoroubao thought about it seriously: "Mom, I think it's okay, my godfather said that I'm very valuable now, and I'll buy meat for my grandma and grandpa after receiving the ticket money!"
After the grandfather and grandson finished talking about the old, Su Xiaoxiao drove Li Yufeng to the capital. Before that, a magazine contacted Gu Zhanwang through the comics of the "Guowang" shopping mall, and they connected Rice Balls and Xiaodoubao to release a special edition comic for the Spring Festival. The response was very enthusiastic, and the stock was sold out immediately after the listing. The magazine hoped to take advantage of the victory to release another Lantern Festival edition. They had to catch up with the manuscript, so there was no time to go out and play a few years ago.
Onigiri had communicated with the magazine before, and they had two friends who would join his team at any time, and the chief writer would change from three to five, and asked them if they would mind.
The magazine said that as long as the quality is guaranteed, they don’t mind, and the rice **** can be guaranteed, so Dabao and Xiaobao came to the capital again. The pillars are also brought back alive.
After entering high school, they will not take up this kind of work again. They have to shift all the focus to learning. It is also a tacit understanding of the big cubs. This winter vacation is already the last winter vacation for the rice ball and Zhuzi's junior high school. Now that I can live more and earn more is a little bit.
Li Yufeng didn't really want to go out in such a cold weather, so Su Xiaoxiao simply took her to the "Guowang" mall, where Xiaoroubao was tired of going, and she didn't want to go. Xiaotangyuan also held marshmallows and didn't want to go out. In the end, Su Xiao He smiled and took Li Yufeng and Yaobao out.
When she arrived at the "Guowang" mall, Li Yufeng was really shocked. It was the first time she had seen such a big and luxurious mall. There was a photo of Xiaoroubao at the door. It stood taller than Xiaoroubao herself. The more strange it became, when Su Xiaoxiao introduced that the paintings at the door and the cartoons on the inside walls were the works of the cubs at home, Li Yufeng felt a sense of pride in her heart.
Li Yufeng sighed while watching: "I didn't come to the capital, I didn't know the children were so prosperous, they didn't say anything when they got home, they only said that the rice **** took them to paint, and they earned some pocket money, and they gave them back to a few big villagers in the village. The classmates who went to school barefoot in winter bought a pair of Jiefang shoes, what a good boy."
The children in the family are all good children. Su Xiaoxiao never questioned this point.
Su Xiaoxiao took them to the sixth floor in the elevator. Li Yufeng touched the elevator, and she couldn't remember the number of times she felt emotional. Su Xiaoxiao said that "three meals and four seasons" would be brought here this year, and this entire floor would be It will be all kinds of restaurants, forming a food court. In the future, she will open the restaurant back to Duancheng and their small county town. She wants to have a chain like her restaurant in any city in the country. scale.
Although Su Xiaoxiao's words were somewhat novel, Li Yufeng still understood.
She used to think that it was not easy for her daughter and son-in-law to live in the capital with so many children, but when she came, she found that everything in the capital was not what she thought.
It is true that the girl is not the material for farm work. Even a half-old child is better than her. In Sujia Village, it can be said that she is useless. She is often gossiped behind her back. Later, when she went to Qingfeng Town, Li Yufeng was still worried that she would not be able to take care of her. With so many children, they couldn't do the work at home. It wasn't until she came to the capital that Li Yufeng really found out that her daughter was actually very capable, and in a bigger and more prosperous place, she would be more like a duck to water, and the more she could use her talents.
Times are progressing, society is progressing, and people are progressing. Li Yufeng thinks that she really doesn't need to worry about her daughter in the future. She has found her own path with the development of the new society.
