Rebirth: I Have a Spiritual Spring

Chapter 266 A place full of seafood, father and daughter meet

Father Yu laughed and scolded: "How can shrimp be sweet?"

Father Zhang chuckled and explained: "This is saltwater black grass shrimp. You can eat it by dipping it into the water while it is fresh. The meat will be a little sweet and taste good. When we go back to our hometown, we always cook it in a big pot. Snacks to eat.”

When Yu's father heard this, he couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth. They couldn't buy saltwater shrimps at all over there. If they wanted to eat them, they could only go to the supermarket and buy the frozen ones. A box of thawed shrimps would cost thirty or forty yuan. , it’s not even enough to stuff between teeth, I don’t know when it was frozen, and the taste is not as good as those fresh freshwater shrimps, so they never buy them. He doesn’t even think about eating this kind of big pot as a snack. Can't imagine.

"Eat, eat, eat quickly." Mother Zhang greeted, before she even moved her chopsticks, she gave Yu Zhi a large piece of mutton chop and a large piece of fish.

The Yu family and his son almost leaned against the wall after eating this meal.

Father Yu and Father Zhang had two drinks, and they both said that it was easy to talk at the wine table. After a few drinks, Father Yu became more talkative, and he sighed with Father Zhang: "My girl is really too willful this time, she keeps quiet. After running so far, we all went crazy yesterday, but thinking about it, we couldn’t bear to blame her. She has been helping the family since she came back. When working, her mother still orders her this and that, but this brat hides in her room and plays games all day long when she comes back. Naturally, the girl feels uncomfortable because of the contrast in her heart. Hey, I have to communicate with her carefully this time. Go back and give your mother-in-law a few words, and you can’t be so biased!”

Yu Zhi didn't dare to express his anger after being said. If he had known that things would turn out like this, he wouldn't have been hiding in his room playing games all the time. However, no matter how many regrets he had, it would not help. He should just shrink his neck and be a human being. .

Father Zhang advised: "Don't think too much. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. The child didn't realize it for a while. The temper will be gone in a few days. Actually, I think the child is studying and working outside now. Throughout the year, Just come back a few times? Let them rest and relax. There is really no need to ask them to help, so that they can feel like they belong to the family!"

"You're right!" Father Yu toasted Father Zhang.

After three rounds of drinking, Yu's father was afraid that he would get drunk and refused to drink any more.

Zhang's father looked at the clock on the wall and found that it was not yet one o'clock in the afternoon, so he said to Zhang Baiyan: "Let's go now. It will be almost two o'clock when we get to your aunt's place. It will be less busy at that time, and you can still wake up there." sober up."

Zhang Baiyan didn't even drink, so he immediately got up and got ready.

Mother Zhang tidied away the dishes, washed the empty plates, changed her clothes and went out together.

The journey to Qingpu was quite smooth. It was only early two in the afternoon when the group arrived at Li Meili's farmhouse. Before the car stopped, they heard the sound of girls laughing and joking.

Father Yu got out of the car excitedly and looked at Yu Yunfei picking strawberries in the strawberry garden from a distance. He couldn't help shouting: "Daughter, daddy is here to pick you up!"

Yu Yunfei was startled, turned her head suddenly, and met Yu's father's eyes. She immediately got up and ran over, crying aggrievedly: "Dad."

Father Yu was so distressed that he hurriedly coaxed: "Don't cry, don't feel uncomfortable, don't feel wronged. Your mother was scolded severely by me yesterday. If she is so partial again in the future, just tell dad, and dad will support you." ! Look, you just go to Bai Yan’s house without thinking about whether it will cause trouble to others? Fortunately, Bai Yan’s family is good-tempered, you!”

Father Yu nodded Yu Yunfei's head and was speechless when he saw that she was wearing clothes that did not belong to her and were dirty.

Yu Zhi shrank forward and said: "Sister, don't be angry, come back with us, I promise you won't just play games anymore, I will help you with your work!"

"It's best to keep your word!" Yu's father said angrily.

Just as Li Meili came over, the group went into the thatched cottage to make tea and eat strawberries. Yu Yunfei washed the strawberries she picked, brought them to the table, and said happily: "I picked these myself. You guys can try them. I picked the big ones."

"Yes, try it, it's delicious!" Father Zhang urged.

Yu's father and Yu Zhi each took one, tasted it and nodded, "This is the kind of strawberry Yun Fei brought home last year. I have some impressions."

"Yes!" After Yu Yunfei said that, he went to the fields to help Zhang Wanwan.

Father Yu hurriedly said: "Why do you make so much? Can you finish it?"

"We are helping auntie with work!" Yu Yunfei responded and continued working.

Yu Zhi was curious and followed him to the field.

Li Meili brought some snacks up, asked everyone to prepare tea, and then said: "I have orders for strawberries now, so I have to pick several baskets every day, especially during the Chinese New Year, there are so many orders, I am so busy. , they immediately said they wanted to help me, so I said I would cook them a big meal in the evening to reward them, haha."

"Good job! The children who are studying have not moved much and their physical fitness is not good!" Zhang's mother said, pulling Li Meili to the side to talk.

Li Meili then asked in a low voice: "Are those Yun Fei's father and brother? Why are they all here?"

Zhang's mother said with a smile: "Yunfei is currently dating Bai Yan. Although she had a conflict with her family and ran away this time, it just so happened that her father came over and we can also let them see what's going on here. , it will be easier to talk about in-laws in the future. I think what Boyan means is that Yunfei should be inseparable. We will all eat at your side. You try to make it better. Just tell me what ingredients you need. I'll go. Prepare!"

Li Meili glared at Zhang's mother, "When you come over, I will of course entertain you well. Do you need to prepare anything? Who do you think I am! Go, go, I'm going to get busy!"

Perhaps because of what Zhang's mother said, Li Meili was so enthusiastic about the Yu family and his son that she even called Chen Jie to ask him to bring some hard goods.

In the afternoon, Zhang's mother helped Li Meili, while Zhang's father went fishing with Yu's father to talk. During this period, Zhao Guoqing came over, sat with him for a while and went back to work. It was almost the Chinese New Year and they had no time to spare.

After just an afternoon of idleness, Yu's father felt that his whole body had relaxed and his fatigue was gone. He couldn't help but sigh: "The winter here is better! Sitting like this, fishing in the sun, I feel so comfortable. , Our river has been closed now, and some children still go skating on the ice. Fishing in winter is impossible!”

As he said that, Yu's father's fishhook started to move, and he quickly pulled it up. It was a palm-sized yellow-finned fish, and its tail kept flicking, making a lot of splashes. Yu's father was immediately happy.

In the evening, Li Meili and Zhang's mother cooked a sumptuous table of authentic farm food and stewed the yellow-fin fish caught by Yu's father. Everyone enjoyed a different dinner.
