Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

That day, Xu Liyun entrusted her child to the care of her husband, while she and Mrs. Zhang plunged into the busy kitchen.

After a while, a mouth-watering aroma wafted from the kitchen. The three little guys seemed to be attracted by the fragrance. They gathered at the kitchen door and looked inside eagerly.

Today's task is to make fried fruit, a kind of food that has a long shelf life and is easy to make - just mix flour, eggs, and sugar into balls or strips, throw them into a boiling oil pan, and fry until golden. If you like sweet food, you can also coat it with a layer of syrup, which makes it crispy and delicious with a unique flavor.

Seeing that there was still a lot of sugar left, Xu Liyun simply fried the peanuts and coated them with sugar. This not only avoided waste but also added a delicious snack.

Mrs. Zhang cut the tofu she had just bought into slices, put it into the wok, and added some vegetarian meatballs. After everything was prepared, the kitchen was filled with a busy and happy atmosphere.

After all these were prepared, Xu Liyun began to cook the chicken that had been marinated in advance. The planned fried chicken legs and chicken wings would be the highlight of today's table.

While the two were busy, they looked back and found the three little guys standing at the kitchen door with anticipation, especially Zhang Louxuan. If his older brother and sister hadn't held him back, he would have jumped directly into Xu Liyun's arms.

Feeling his mother's attention, Zhang Louxuan couldn't wait to break free from his brother's hand, trotted to Xu Liyun, and put his little hands tightly around her waist.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

Although he said so, his bright eyes had already been attracted by the fried chicken in Xu Liyun's hand.

"So what does Yangyang want to eat?"

Xu Liyun asked gently.

"I want fried chicken, can I have French fries?"

In his little head, the fried chicken in his mother's hands and the accompanying French fries, dipped in sweet and sour ketchup, are the most delicious combination in the world.

Xu Liyun was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that her son still remembered the food he brought from another time and space. After all, he was only three years old when he first arrived, and time did not seem to dilute his memory.

Aunt Zhang, who was standing by, became curious and asked, "Yangyang, tell me what French fries are. I'll make them for you right away."

"Aren't fries just fries?"

Yangyang looked at his aunt in confusion, then turned to look at Xu Liyun, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Mom, French fries?"

he repeated.

"I didn't prepare French fries today. How about next time? Tell your aunt that French fries are made by cutting potatoes into strips and then frying them. I made it once that time and he actually remembered it."

Xu Liyun explained, with a hint of pride in her tone.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she suddenly realized what was going on and said with a smile, "Oh, I thought it was something rare. No problem, when the potatoes are harvested next year, we'll make French fries."

Although little Zhang Louxuan felt a little disappointed, he was a sensible child and did not cry.

"it is good!"

He responded without further entanglement.

"Sister-in-law, take the children to eat first. I'll clean up here."

Mrs. Zhang said considerately.

"okay."

Xu Liyun did not refuse. She held Zhang Louxuan with one hand and held a plate full of fried chicken with the other, and greeted the brother and sister who were still standing at the door.

"Mingyi, Qianqian, do you see the plates on the table? Take one each, and let's go find daddy and uncle."

The two siblings had been watching eagerly from the side, and now that they got permission, they immediately picked up the plates happily and left the kitchen with Xu Liyun.

At this moment, the two male owners of the Zhang family were chatting idly in the east wing.

There are three rooms in the east wing. Zhang Mingyi and Zhang Louxuan live in one room each, and the middle room is used as a study.

However, Zhang Louxuan was still young, and Xu Liyun was worried that something might happen to him if he slept alone, so she decided to let him live with them temporarily until the child grew up a little.

The little guy was quite dissatisfied with this. Seeing that his older brothers and sisters could have a bedroom to themselves, he also wanted to try it and experience the feeling of independence.

Finally, after Zhang Ming suggested sleeping with him, the little guy nodded without hesitation. That determined look made Xu Liyun feel complicated - her son used to stick to her to sleep, but now he also longs for his own space.

"Daddy, uncle, let's eat fried chicken!"

The door hadn't been fully opened yet, but Zhang Louxuan's clear call had already slipped into the room, causing Zhang Laoer to laugh out loud, and his eyes gently followed the figure of his son holding a fried chicken leg in his hand.

Seeing this, Zhang Laoda teased his nephew: "Yangyang, are you going to give your fried chicken legs to your dad or to your uncle?"

This question stumped the little guy. He tightly held the "treasure" in his hand and had no intention of sharing it at all.

In order to prevent this treasure from falling into the mouth of others, he quickly took a big bite and said incoherently: "There are more over there."

The implication is: This is mine, go get yours over there.

This scene made everyone present laugh, and the atmosphere was warm and joyful.

"Come, try it, it's fresh out of the pot."

Xu Liyun, with a warm smile on her face, held a plate of steaming delicious food and enthusiastically invited Zhang Mingyi and his sister, Zhang Laoer and Zhang Laoda to taste it.

There was a hint of anticipation in her voice, hoping that her craftsmanship would be appreciated by them.

Zhang Ming and his sister couldn't wait to pick up a golden and crispy chicken wing each. The moment they bit into it, the aroma of oil filled the air and the meat was tender and juicy. Satisfied smiles immediately appeared on their faces.

Zhang Er and Zhang Da seemed more reserved. They just took a small sip and put down the food in their hands. It was obvious that they cared more about the conversation at the table rather than just satisfying their appetite.

"Have you bought the couplets?"

Xu Liyun asked casually, her tone revealing a homely warmth. It was a family tradition to buy couplets near the end of the year to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

After she finished speaking, she looked around unconsciously, as if she could smell a hint of the festive atmosphere approaching in the air.

When Zhang Laoer heard this, he knew clearly that Xu Liyun's question was just a daily greeting and he did not delve into the meaning behind it.

There was a flash of understanding in his eyes, and he smiled lightly without pointing it out.

Zhang Mingyi, on the other hand, had a puzzled look on his face, with curiosity sparkling in his innocent eyes: "Second Aunt, don't Dad and his family write the couplets themselves every year? I remember that it used to be on New Year's Eve, Dad prepared the brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote it in one stroke, and then we put it up together."

In his memory, that warm scene seemed to have happened just yesterday.

When asked this question, Xu Liyun couldn't help but blurt out: "Of course I have to buy it, otherwise..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt something was wrong and realized that she had inadvertently revealed something that should have been kept secret.

Write it yourself?

This thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately felt that she had said something wrong, so she quickly adjusted the direction of her words, "I mean, did you buy the red paper for writing the couplets?"

She thought to herself that something was not right. First it was her son's question, and now it was her own slip of the tongue. She almost exposed herself.

Xu Liyun looked up and caught a glimpse of the slightly playful smile on Zhang Laoer's lips. She couldn't help but smile at herself, trying to hide the embarrassment.

The others did not notice this subtle change. They just thought that she had spoken too quickly and blurted out something, so they did not take it seriously.

"I already bought it."
