The air in Wucheng in the morning was cool and foggy. Several military jeeps drove into the urban area and returned to the military compound according to the original route. However, when they were about to reach the place, they found that the road was blocked. You must know that this is a new thing. Son, if there is no traffic accident, it is rare before.
Obviously, there was no traffic accident. Bai Haiyun and Wang Junyi found that there were many small vendors on the street, and there were also many passers-by buying food in the morning. Especially in the center of the street, there was a long queue at the entrance of a restaurant. Judging from this posture, it is estimated that it will be difficult to pass without an hour or two.
As the traffic jam got longer and longer, the pale face of the stern young man sitting in the back car became more and more anxious, obviously not showing on his face, but he counted the days, this time he left in a hurry, and he had already walked for a month and a half , I don’t know how the three children are living at home during this period of time, because when I left last time, although I had sent a lot of things to the family and wrote letters, I didn’t see their situation after all. Every time Shen Huai went home from a mission, the children were always very thin and weak. He always tried to send some nutritious food home for the children to eat, but he didn't see any effect.
Aunt Zhang said that it was because the physique of the three children was fundamentally injured, and their quality was relatively weak. It would not be possible to make up for it in a short time. At least, he still thought that when the children were older, they could exercise physically, maybe they could become stronger.
There is also the matter of his Chen Yuan. I don't know if she can get along well with the three children. At that time, he left in a hurry and quarreled with her. This was absolutely intolerable to him, and based on his understanding of Chen Yuan, this woman was obviously not someone who would love children.
Before he married her, he didn't realize at all that the other party was such a person. She even pretended to be good just before arriving in Wucheng, but after the last quarrel, she also revealed her ultimate goal, and in In such an urgent situation, Shen Huai couldn't tell the priority, and only cared about his little thoughts. It was absolutely impossible for Shen Huai to agree. In the end, the relationship between the two was completely torn apart. There is still a shallow scar on his forehead that has not disappeared. .
Moreover, Shen Huai was very worried about putting Chen Yuan in Shen's house, but when time was running out, he couldn't find a solution to properly handle her affairs, so he had to send her home first.
Now that he was approaching the door of the house, Shen Huai couldn't see the children at a glance, so he felt uneasy. He couldn't help looking out the window. Bai Haiyun got out of the car and asked what was going on ahead, so he could see if he could unblock it. transportation.
After asking, I found out that this Guozhi Restaurant has recently led to the popularity of emerald dumplings. After they launched a colorful dumpling, other restaurants, hotels, and food stalls have also started to imitate it. But this is strange, even if they are all I learned it from a recipe, but the taste is always only the best at Guozhi Restaurant. Now it has begun to spread. If you want to eat the most authentic jade dumplings, you have to go to Guozhi Restaurant.
Guozhi Hotel has already set the emerald dumplings as the treasure of the town store, and it has given their store a solid reputation. If it operates normally in the future, there will be no troubles, and the same dumplings from other stores will not threaten them.
After Bai Haiyun finished inquiring, he hurried back into the car: "The traffic has been unblocked ahead, but I asked to understand what happened. It turns out that a restaurant in this area has launched a very famous dumpling, and there are many people from other places. People come here to eat, and the limited supply of 3,000 copies is in short supply, so every morning, there are a lot of people queuing here.”
What he thought in his heart was, he didn't know what kind of dumplings they were, how could they attract so many people, is it really so delicious? Wait until another day to have a taste.
Shen Huai nodded and didn't say anything. What he was thinking in his heart was that the catering business in Wucheng had completely developed after he had only been away for more than a month. imagine things.
With the reform and opening up, people's lives are getting better and better, and the tight belly will naturally relax. This economic development is just the beginning, and the future prospects may be even better.
The gate of the Shen family.
"Brother, are you a little nervous? Didn't Second Aunt tell us to wait for her to come back from the meeting?" Er Bao saw his brother standing at the gate of the yard, looking around. There were no students who came to learn Jade Dumplings, so only the three of them were left to look after the house.
He felt that it was his brother's parent meeting that the second aunt was going to hold, so he was so nervous. If it was this afternoon, it would be his turn to be nervous.
Dabao felt that although the parent meeting was a major event, it seemed that his premonition was not this, as if something must happen again, and this feeling was very accurate, so he frowned and asked. "Do you think our second uncle will be back soon?"
Er Bao picked his nostrils: "How could Second Uncle come back so soon, and he didn't hear any news of his coming back?"
"But I always have a hunch that I'm coming back soon."
"It must be your illusion, do you miss the second uncle too much?" Er Bao said very seriously.
Dabao rolled his eyes at him, "Don't you miss Second Uncle?"
Er Bao sighed: "Of course I did, I don't know when he will come back."
Dabao vowed: "I have a hunch, it should be soon." Intuition is a very mysterious thing. Not only is his dream accurate, but his intuition is also very accurate. He doesn't know when he started to have this ability, but he has never He didn't tell anyone, and he was afraid that people would say he was crazy, so he strictly kept it secret, and he didn't even tell Erbao and Niuniu's second aunt.
"Brother, your premonition...seems...it really came true." Er Bao was about to say that his brother was thinking too much, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the whistle of a jeep coming from the door, driving slowly Entering the small alley with the big head of an army green car, he suddenly froze and stammered the second half of the sentence.
Following Erbao's stunned gaze, Dabao couldn't wait to look outside. Could it be really his premonition experience? But he dreamed that his second uncle was injured, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he ran out in a hurry.
Er Bao also quickly followed, wanting to run out to see what happened, the two children stared eagerly at the arrival of the two jeeps.
When he saw the familiar figure getting off the car, he finally broke the defense, and tears fell without warning.
"Second uncle!"
Dabao and Erbao ran over frantically, and the two children seized the position one by one and hugged Shen Huai's calf. With snot and tears, they spoke excitedly. Of course, they were excited and excited. If Chen Yuan was here, they would definitely find the children Crying is happy not sad.
Niu Niu ran at the end not to be outdone, and ran over with short legs, stumbling over, because she was too anxious, her saliva came out: "Book! Book!"
Before running to the front, she was hugged by a pair of strong hands in the air, leaning on her shoulders, Niuniu's position suddenly rose, and she was not used to it for a moment, but she was quickly caught by a warm look, and she didn't feel it. What's the danger? Instead, she felt full of security. Shen Huai hugged the little girl, and the feeling of holding the little girl was heavy, eh, it seemed to be a few catties heavier.
I didn't take a closer look just now, but now I can see that apart from Niuniu's complexion, Dabao and Erbao seem to be much stronger. The clothes on their bodies seem to be newly bought, and they are very clean, and their faces have swollen a lot. Meat, seeing such a situation, Shen Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the stepmother should take good care of the child according to his instructions in the letter.
Doctor Wang looked at the action of the leader holding the child with some concern, fearing that he would open the wound that had just healed and open it again after activities. In fact, the leader is not suitable for strenuous exercise at all now. He hesitated to speak and reminded: "Shen Tuan, your...?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Huai signaled himself that it's okay. Although their movements were very subtle, Dabao obviously saw the wink between the two. It's possible that the second uncle was really injured. His face suddenly became tense, and he carefully Seeing that the second uncle's movements seemed a little slow, he concluded his guess.
The big BMW immediately pulled Er Bao away, and hurriedly said to Niu Niu: "Come down quickly, don't let the second uncle get tired, go back and rest quickly."
He didn't know the extent of his second uncle's injury, but the top priority was not to aggravate his injury, but he couldn't say it directly, he could only persuade Niuniu.
Niuniu obediently climbed down from Shen Huai, and as Shen Huai followed the children into the yard, he also found that his house and the yard outside had changed a lot from the outside.
Some dried vegetables and dried fish were dried outside the yard, and there was an extra large stone mill, and a few wooden benches on the wooden table. This stone mill did not exist before. Shen Huai never knew when there was such a thing at home. Everything, including the tables outside are brand new.
This is because there were a lot of students who came to learn Jade Dumplings. Although they had been divided into odd and even numbers for teaching, it was still a bit crowded after they arrived, so Chen Yuan bought a batch of small benches to entertain them.
The transparent glass windows were wiped spotless, and there was no trace of dust on them, especially the tiles on the floor and walls of the house, which can reflect light when viewed from a distance. The owner of the cleaning seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder , because ordinary people do housework, it is probably simple, clean and tidy, but few people can do this thing to the extreme, and it seems that there is a rule in the placement of any thing in the house.
Bai Haiyun and the others are soldiers, and they have long been familiar with internal work. Of course, they know how much energy and effort it takes to maintain such a perfect "internal affairs". Not only the living room is neat and tidy, but even the kitchen counters, cups and bowls are placed The chopsticks were all pointing in one direction, as if these dead creatures would obey orders, and they were arranged in an orderly manner like a square team.
The more they look at them, the more pleasing they are, and the more comfortable they are. Once they are leaders, they feel different. If their own home is so neat and clean, it will be an incomparable enjoyment to be in it. Just looking at it is pleasing to the eye.
Seeing all this in Shen Huai's eyes, he felt a lot of "freshness" because when he went home before, the house was usually messy, and the three children were also dirty and their clothes were crawling. There was a pile of lice, and there was a sour smell of old sweat. Every time this happened, he would clean up the house, take the eldest and the second treasure to the bathhouse, and shave the children's heads.
Before, it could be seen that the stepmother was not very dedicated to taking care of the children, but Shen Huai had no other choice. He hired a nanny, but was driven away by the stepmother who said he stole things from the house. If there is no suitable nanny, Zhang Guilan can only take care of her first.
But I didn't expect to come back this time, and I was surprised. Could it be that the sun came out from the west? Shen Huai was puzzled.
Bai Haiyun, Doctor Wang, and several other soldiers looked around the room curiously. The more they looked, the more they admired him sincerely: "The mother who leads you is really a good hand in the family. She takes care of the three children. You don't have to worry about it outside, the inside and outside of this house are really clean, our family members are really ashamed of themselves."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Huai hadn't spoken yet, and the two children were unhappy.
What? Why are you praising his grandma? Cleaning the house has nothing to do with my grandma at all. His grandma is not ashamed to take the credit for no reason.
Dabao's face darkened and he explained: "It was cleaned by my second aunt, it has nothing to do with my grandma."
Er Bao also said: "My grandma is lazy, and she doesn't do housework once in a month or two. How can she be as hardworking and capable as my second aunt? The parents of the whole class combined are not half as capable as my second aunt."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, even Shen Huai was surprised: "You said your second aunt took care of it?"
"Is it still fake? Of course." Dabao said very proudly.
Bai Haiyun and the others couldn't believe their ears, and even wondered if the woman had been dropped for more than a month? How could this shrew work so hard? According to the situation at the time, they thought that Chen Yuan was a lazy and selfish woman who only calculated her little thoughts and her character was unreliable. But the second aunt the children said, If it is still that person, this matter is strange.
Only then did Shen Huai notice that Chen Yuan was not at home, so he asked the children where she had gone.
"Auntie, we have a parent-teacher meeting."
Hearing this, Shen Huai's originally expressionless face changed, and he frowned with a bad heart. According to the grievances between the woman and herself, if she went to hold a parent-teacher meeting with her temper, wouldn't she offend all the parents and teachers
