Chapter 202 Family
In Xu Hongdou's home in a small county town in Shandong.
When Hongdou's father saw Hongdou's mother coming back from outside with a package under her arm, he asked casually, "What did Mi buy?"
"This time it wasn't Mi who bought it, it was Douyi."
"What did you buy?"
"It should be a specialty of Yunnan, right? Let me open it and take a look."
As she spoke, Hongdou's mother took out a disinfectant spray bottle from the cabinet next to her, sprayed it on the express package, and then opened it.
Hongdou's father couldn't help but complain: "It's not like we haven't bought some local specialties before, but we don't like them either. Next time, I'll tell the kids not to buy them anymore and not waste money."
"You said you didn't like it, but when I saw you eating, you didn't miss a single bite."
"That's right, if you don't eat it and I don't eat it, won't it be a waste?"
As Hongdou's mother unpacked the package, she couldn't help but complain, "So after you finished eating it, you went out and told others that it was delicious? Isn't this being sent again?"
Hongdou's father helped open the box and said casually, "The kids have already bought it and spent the money. If you say it doesn't taste good, the kids will be unhappy. Do you know what this is called? This is called lack of emotional intelligence."
"You are the only one with high emotional intelligence. I have to say all the bad things. Just be a good person and always be a good father."
To be honest, the package had been opened, and on top was a greeting card. Hongdou's mother subconsciously read it out: "Mom: This time I went to the local aunt's house and made flower cakes and rose jam myself. I mailed some to you, you can try it."
After reading it, Hongdou's mother was immediately surprised: "Oh, this is made by our own?"
Hongdou's father was obviously a little surprised: "Hey, it's really good, this is made by my daughter herself, I have to try it."
As he spoke, Hongdou's father had already picked up a flower cake and was about to put it in his mouth and take a bite, but Hongdou's mother stopped him directly: "Wait a moment, don't eat it in a hurry, let me ask Dou to see if he needs to heat it up before eating."
Hongdou's father could only reluctantly put down the flower cake in his hand and wait for Hongdou's mother to finish her call.
But when Hongdou's mother called, no one answered the phone: "Hongdou, this kid, didn't even answer the phone. She must have gone out to play again."
"It's good to go out and play. It's good to go out."
"Okay, I'll call Mi first and ask if she wants it heated up."
On the other side, in a company in Shanghai, Xu Hongmi was looking at a report when she suddenly received a call from her mother. She casually asked, "Mom, why are you calling at this time? Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing much, Dou just sent us some flower cakes. How do we eat them? Do we need to heat them up in the microwave?"
“It can be hot or not, and you can eat it directly.”
"How does it taste? Have you tasted it? It's made by Dou himself."
"Xu Hongdou did this herself? Does she have this ability?"
As she spoke, Xu Hongmi picked up a discarded courier box and rummaged through it. Sure enough, she saw a greeting card. Only then did she realize that the flower cake was made by her sister herself.
Before, she thought that this was just something Xu Hongdou bought casually, and she didn't pay much attention to it, and directly distributed it to the company's subordinates. Now she found out that it was made by her sister. She hurriedly walked out of the office and came outside. Seeing that there were only two flower cakes left in the box on the employee's workstation, she took them up directly: "Why did you eat so fast? Weren't there two boxes just now?"
"The director of the administrative department just came over and took a box away to distribute to the people in their department."
Xu Hongmi felt a little regretful and asked casually, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. Mr. Xu, this is the most delicious flower cake we have ever eaten."
Xu Hongmi laughed and said, "This was made by my sister herself."
Afterwards, Xu Hongmi returned to her office with two flower cakes in her hand, looking a little proud.
On the other side, there is Fengyuan in Yunmiao Village.
Perhaps he was persuaded by Lu Cheng, or perhaps he was influenced by Chen Nanxing and Xu Hongdou, but now Da Mai has begun to slowly adjust his work and rest schedule. He no longer reverses day and night like before, and occasionally gets up early to exercise. Several people run from the village to the outside, to the town to buy some vegetables, and then come back to cook a meal together. It is lively and interesting.
Even Machushan no longer meditates from morning to night like before. Sometimes he would go to buy some vegetables and join in the fun.
However, Lao Ma does not know how to cook, and his cooking skills are not even as good as Lu Cheng's. Most of the time, he can only help out by washing vegetables, scrubbing pots, and washing dishes.
As for the other two tenants in the yard, Hu Youyu and Nana, they both have jobs and it is impossible for them to stay in the yard in broad daylight like the others.
Only at night would people in the yard gather together, and sometimes they would eat skewers and drink beer together.
Although everyone has only known each other for a short time, they are becoming more and more familiar with each other.
After getting to know each other, Ma Qiushan, Nana, Hu Youyu and others began to discuss privately: "What do you think is the relationship between Mr. Lu, Chen Nanxing and Xu Hongdou?"
Da Mai at the side was still a little confused: "Aren't they just friends? Oh, yes, Hongdou and Nanxing are very good friends, and Nanxing is a patient of Teacher Lu. They just met each other and are traveling together."
Nana hugged Damai and said, "Of course we already know all this. What we are more interested in now is who Teacher Lu likes. Damai, can't you see? Nanxing obviously likes Teacher Lu, and even Hongdou has some feelings in this regard. As for who Teacher Lu likes, we can't tell."
"Ah? Why didn't I see it?"
Ma Qiushan sighed: "Da Mai, you have never been in love, right?"
"I...I didn't..."
Hu Youyu chuckled: "If I were Mr. Lu, I would definitely choose Xu Hongdou, such a beautiful lady, haha..."
"But Nanxing isn't bad either, right? Besides, Nanxing is also very sunny and gentle. If I were Teacher Lu, it would probably be difficult for me to make a choice."
"It's no use for us to guess here. Teacher Lu is not as simple as he seems."
Da Mai seemed to be a little slow: "By the way, did Teacher Lu and the other two go out to play again today? Why haven't they come back yet?"
"He drove out early in the morning. He said he was going to go farther this time, and it's hard to say whether he can come back today. He came out just to have fun, so he doesn't have to worry about work. He can go wherever he wants."
Hu Youyu couldn't help but sigh, "I'm so envious. If I were as rich as Mr. Lu, driving a luxury car worth millions, and being from Yanjing, why would I need to be a small singer in a bar? Reincarnation is really a technical job."
"Hehe, Mr. Lu is a postdoctoral fellow in traditional Chinese medicine and a chief physician in a large hospital at a young age. This is not just a matter of good reincarnation. He is also a super academic master."
"People who are better off than us are also better than us, and people who are better than us work harder than us. How can we, the insignificant ones, turn our lives around?"
"When you turn a salted fish over, it's still salted fish, except that both sides are browned and more flavorful."
