Chapter 739: Chapter 739 Happiness is Seasonings and Staples
Zhou Guifang also joined the conversation, "Right, right, right, pregnant women shouldn’t sit for too long, there’s no hurry to get dressed, you get up and move around, I’ll make whatever you want for dinner."
Woo Yunmei was touched by her family’s care, and although she didn’t have a mother-in-law, Zhou Guifang’s meticulous care, coupled with her kind-hearted sister-in-law, truly made her feel at ease in this home.
Woo Yunmei turned to Zhou Guifang, "Qiaoqiao checked my pulse before and mentioned that I just need a balanced diet from now on, there’s no need for special attention."
After hearing this, Zhou Guifang laughed, "Okay, we’ll have dumplings tonight, I’ll go and prepare the filling right now."
Woo Yunmei followed Zhou Guifang into the kitchen, "Grandma, Jialin is getting discharged from the hospital tomorrow, should we prepare some nourishing soup for her in advance? I’m worried that with the discharge and house cleaning, my aunt might not manage to do it."
Ever since she learned about the hardships her husband and his younger brother faced in their childhood, Woo Yunmei made up her mind to treat her in-laws well. Without them, she might never have met her husband or come across such a wonderful extended family.
Zhou Guifang replied comfortingly, "Sure, tomorrow morning, I’ll stew it and send it over to Jialin."
Luo Qiao in the living room could hear the conversation between her grandmother and sister-in-law, so she called out, "I’ll help run errands tomorrow."
Soon, Luo Qiao finished cutting out her grandfather’s tracksuit and got up to work on her grandmother’s first, since there wasn’t a steam iron available. The electric iron here was quite handy, only needing a wet towel as a base, which was more convenient than the traditional iron used in the village.
After pressing all the clothes, she tidied up and went into the kitchen to help with making dumplings.
Not long after, Big Brother Luo Xuyan came back, bringing with him quite a lot of food, claiming it was from the Yue Family side. Woo Yunmei looked at the items, "Where did my brother go?"
While putting the items down, Luo Xuyan replied, "Big Brother traveled far this time, went to Hangzhou. These are special local products I encountered along the way. I brought them back for everyone to try. Oh, and I also brought back a silk pajama set for you."
Looking at the items in Luo Xuyan’s hands, Woo Yunmei said, "Okay, put them down for now, come wash your hands and help wrap dumplings."
Luo Xuyan gladly accepted his wife’s command, "Sure, I’ll be right there."
Many hands make light work, and at dinner time, Luo Daoren remarked emotionally, "I’m really grateful to the government. I never imagined we could live such good lives. Not only can we eat our fill, but we can also eat well. Now we can have dumplings whenever we fancy them—something we didn’t even dare to dream of before."
As Luo Qiao arranged the vinegar dishes, she said, "Grandpa, just you wait and see, even better days are yet to come. We could even have meat every day in the future."
Luo Daoren chuckled, "I wouldn’t dare to dream of that, I’m already very content as it is."
Just as they were about to have dinner, Luo Xuyuan came back, his arms laden with bundles, "Grandpa, Grandma, I’m home."
Zhou Guifang stood up, "You came back just in time, come wash your hands and join us for dinner."
Luo Xuyuan put down the packages, "Grandma, I brought back some cooked beef. Do you want me to slice some for the table?"
Luo Qiao quickly said, "Grandma, you just sit, I’ll do it."
Carrying the items into the kitchen, "Second brother, where did this marinated beef come from, and why so much?"
Washing his hands, Luo Xuyuan explained, "I have a friend whose uncle is a chef at a state-owned restaurant. Last time I brought a small portion home and saw that sister-in-law liked it a lot, so I asked him to prepare twenty pounds for us."
Overhearing this from outside, Zhou Guifang exclaimed, "Oh my, you shouldn’t have prepared so much at once. What if it spoils?"
Hearing his grandma’s concern, Luo Xuyuan laughed, "Grandma, don’t worry. It’s perfect for grandpa’s drink and for sister-in-law’s snack. Leave some for Qiaoqiao and Stone when they leave, nothing will be left over.
I actually wanted to ask for more, but I didn’t want to impose. However, next time I’ll have his uncle prepare more and give some extra processing fee. He’d probably be embarrassed to take the money, so I’m thinking of preparing some gifts to express our gratitude."
After a bustling dinner, Luo Xuyan and Luo Xuyuan cleaned up the dishes while Stone helped out. Sister-in-law was digesting in the living room, while Luo Qiao was planning to finish grandpa’s tracksuit, and grandma made tea for grandpa, who watched TV on the sofa.
The scene was incredibly warm, with happiness truly found in the essentials of oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, rice, flour, and tea.
