The good news of Aunt Shen's return comes first, followed by another big news.
That is, as everyone guessed, Aunt Shen was really pregnant, and the main purpose of returning to China was to have a baby, and then stay at home honestly to give birth.
Aunt Shen had already told Mr. Shen and the others about this news as soon as she came back, so now she told Shen Fu and Lin Shuyi alone. Shen Fu guessed at the beginning whether it was because of this early return, and now he really guessed right, so he also He wasn't too surprised, but just looked at Aunt Shen's belly, and couldn't imagine what it would be like to be a mother with a big belly, a woman who didn't even look like an aunt.
Aunt Shen always has a carefree temper, and only at this time will she show a little shyness of being a mother, leaning in Alan's arms, and asking Mr. Shen what the child should name when he grows up.
Alan looked at her dotingly, it seemed that both of them were looking forward to this child.
Mr. Shen also had a happy event, his face was full of smiles, and if he promised in front of everyone, he would definitely give him a nice and meaningful name.
After Lin Shuyi heard that Aunt Shen was pregnant, she went to the kitchen to add a special dish. She boiled a small pot of pigeon soup with pigeon berries, red dates, longan, and Codonopsis ginseng. Yan is also a nourishing holy product for pregnant people, not too greasy, but also rich in nutrition.
Aunt Shen had long heard that Lin Shuyi opened the Xiqin private restaurant, but she didn't know that the chef was also this small-looking person. Now that she heard that he was the chef, she was looking forward to his skills.
"It's so difficult to eat authentic Chinese cuisine abroad." Aunt Shen is a poor cook. Although Alan can cook well, it's only limited to Western food, so it's been a long time since Aunt Shen has eaten Chinese cuisine. style.
"Aren't you going to stay for a long time when you return to China this time? Let you eat your fill." Mother Shen answered with a smile.
Aunt Shen smiled, "I can't have enough of this thing, I can't get enough of the profound Chinese cuisine."
Mr. Shen looked at his son-in-law, "You will stay at home this time, what about Alan?"
Alan has his own company in the United States, even if he wants to, he shouldn't be able to stay here forever.
"I will return to Los Angeles after I stay here, and Shiman will ask my father-in-law to take care of me." Alan was a little bit reluctant when he heard that Aunt Shen was in his arms, but he knew that the confinement method in the United States is not It's not very suitable for a Chinese like Aunt Shen, even if he can find a confinement wife who likes Aunt Shen, at such a time, what Aunt Shen needs most is her family, so Alan decided to suppress his reluctance and send Shen Aunt sent back home.
Old Master Shen nodded, it goes without saying that Aunt Shen has always been a treasure in the hands of Old Master Shen, so how could she treat her badly.
Aunt Shen and Alan lingered sweetly for a while, then suddenly turned to look at Shen Fu, "What about you? Don't you plan to have children?"
Although everyone openly agreed with the two of them, the children are not just passing on the family line. When they are old, at least they will not feel lonely surrounded by their children and grandchildren.
Shen Fu stroked his ring finger and said, "Of course I want a child, but I plan to go abroad to register for marriage first."
Aunt Shen opened her mouth in surprise, "Have you thought about getting married? It seems that you are more prepared than I thought."
Mr. Shen, Father Shen, and Mother Shen all looked at her.
"What's wrong?"
In fact, the Shen family had already thought of this.
"Although marriage is very important in my opinion, since you both agree with each other, marriage is only a matter of formality and not that important. I will go to the Children's Welfare Institute in City H in about two days. You guys Do you want to go with me then?"
Shen Fu thought about it, and felt that this matter still depends on Lin Shuyi's will, "I don't care, it depends on his will."
Lin Shuyi was walking up the stairs, "It depends on what I mean?"
It was said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Aunt Shen smiled, "Go and see the child you are about to adopt, shall you go?"
Lin Shuyi was stunned for a moment. Although this matter was on the agenda, he didn't expect it to be so soon, but when he thought of someone calling him daddy by his side in the future, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, itching, so Without thinking, he nodded in agreement.
Aunt Shen laughed loudly, "Actually, you are a child yourself, so it's okay if you don't worry."
Lin Shuyi didn't say a word. In fact, if counting his actual age, he should not be much younger than Shen Fu. The young age of his body does not hinder the maturity of his inner age. What's more, he has already died once. Compared with the grand plans and ambitions of the previous life, In this life, he wants to live an ordinary life as a family.
Mr. Shen nodded at the right time, "Xiaoyi sounds small, but I always think he is much more sensible than ordinary children."
This is also an important reason why they often ignore his age.
Shen Fu pulled away the chair beside him to let Lin Shuyi sit down, Lin Shuyi thought of his purpose for coming up, "The dishes are ready, let's eat."
Under Lin Shuyi's gesture, the two girls brought up the same dishes, six exquisite and beautiful cold dishes, in order to be considerate of Aunt Shen's taste, several of them were lightly seasoned, and there were no strong flavors seasoning.
Eight hot dishes, either vegetarian or meat, include melt-in-your-mouth pork feet, crispy fish with peppery aroma, light celery lily without losing its original flavor, and sweet and delicious corn with pine nuts.
Then there are three big soup pots, sweet rice wine glutinous rice balls, salty crucian carp tofu, and finally there is pigeon soup with wolfberry, dangshen and pigeon specially made for Aunt Shen.
Aunt Shen's eyes were straightened, "You did it all?"
Lin Shuyi nodded, "Auntie, let's try it."
Because Shen Fu and Aunt Shen are really not that different, Aunt Shen actually resents Shen Fu and Shen Yan calling her aunt, but Aunt Shen doesn't think so when Lin Shuyi is such a tender little green onion. Feeling awkward, I answered with the chopsticks and started eating, "Dad, I haven't eaten such a Chinese food with all the flavors and flavors in a long time, I'll eat it first without being polite, you can do whatever you want."
Mr. Shen saw that his daughter showed her true colors as soon as she ate, and smiled instead of eating elegantly, with a spoiled look in her eyes, "Eat, eat, this is specially made by Xiaoyi for you, take your time taste."
Aunt Shen picked up her chopsticks, bypassed Lin Shuyi's specially prepared light side dishes, and finally landed on a plate of spicy jelly with bright red color and green coriander.
While everyone was not paying attention, they secretly ate it.
Although she is a pregnant woman, she really misses this cold and spicy dish for a long time! Can't you eat more and have a good time
The jelly is homemade by Lin Shuyi. It is made from sifted sweet potato flour. Although the color is not as good as pea flour, it tastes stronger than pea flour. It is served with crispy peanuts and hand-ground sesame sauce. It is bright red Chili oil, sour and appetizing balsamic vinegar, Aunt Shen narrowed her eyes in an instant, and couldn't stop eating several mouthfuls.
Despite the numbing in the mouth, the hands stretched out the chopsticks.
"Shiman."
Alan called lightly, Aunt Shen was taken aback for a moment, and finally stretched out the chopsticks timidly.
"Try it too, it's delicious!"
Alan knew she ate it secretly for a long time, because he knew she really missed it, so he didn't say much, but pregnant women can't eat too much spicy food, he has seen her eat a lot, seeing that Aunt Shen likes it so much, Alan himself picked it up Taste it a little bit.
Alan, who has eaten a lot of Chinese food, also squinted his eyes. It is really delicious. As far as his taste buds have eaten a lot of Chinese food, he can't fault it.
Alan, who is the founder of a chain restaurant brand himself, couldn't help but look at Lin Shuyi with admiration.
In his opinion, only a chef who can make these small dishes taste perfect can be truly called a chef. If the food is only delicious because of the scarcity of ingredients, it is not considered great. .
But no matter how delicious it is, Aunt Shen can't eat too much. Alan looked at Aunt Shen's slumped face and smiled, "If you really like it, just wash it with water."
Aunt Shen turned her head and refused, so what else is there to eat! !
Lin Shuyi was used to Aunt Shen who was always childish, so she reached out and put another plate of side dish in front of Aunt Shen, "This is not spicy, but the taste should be okay, Auntie, try it."
The crisp jellyfish head, the original peanuts without the red clothes, the green celery, and the red carrots, Aunt Shen tasted a little bit for the face, but found that there was no chili pepper and it was not worse than the spicy jelly, it seemed that only a small amount was used Seasoned with vinegar, salt and sugar, there is no extra seasoning, but it is all the original taste of the ingredients. It is refreshing and has a special taste. Could it be that she really eats too much Western food and has reached the point where everything feels delicious?
In fact, this dish is also very particular. Although there are no visible seasonings, Lin Shuyi has put a lot of flavor-enhancing things in it, such as fresh fish sauce, and the sauce is also prepared with broth , and the ratio of sugar, salt and vinegar, these small details will affect the taste of the whole dish.
Aunt Shen, who hadn't eaten Tianchao cuisine for a long time, ate enough at one time, and with a big wave of her hand, she decided to live here for dinner.
After the meal, Shen Fu, who had been prepared for a long time, took Aunt Shen to see his new house. Aunt Shen was full of praise, and now she strengthened her determination to live here.
The house is so beautifully repaired, and the niece and daughter-in-law are so skilled. It seems that it is really the right choice for her to return to China for childbirth.
Only Alan frowned forbearingly, was he so happy to leave him
It seems that Uncle Shen still doesn't understand the true nature of his foodie wife.
