Chapter 333 Crispy Pork

A plate of crispy pork was placed on the table. Xiao Yu stared at it intently, her hands clasped together, eagerly awaiting the start of the meal.

He Yuxiang said, "Let's eat!" and Xiao Yu quickly picked up a piece of crispy pork with her chopsticks.

She first touched it lightly with her fingertips, then pulled her hand back because it was too hot. She couldn't help but lean closer, her little nose wrinkling as she sniffed the aroma, like a tabby cat smelling dried fish.

Seeing that her family had started eating, Xiaoyu carefully took a small bite. The crispy outer shell cracked open between her teeth, and the meat juice quietly overflowed, sticking to the corner of her mouth.

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up instantly, her eyelashes fluttered, and her cheeks puffed out like a little hamster stealing food.

Chen Qing was amused by her.

Since He Yuan went to work in another city, his family has been eating meat twice a week, which is more generous than 90% of families. But Xiao Yu loves fried and crispy meat.

In short: the more it makes me feel hot and bothered, the more I love it.

It was a complete opposition to He Yuxiang.

After eating the delicious crispy pork, Xiao Yu was overjoyed: "Uncle, you are the best chef in the world."

He Yuan's cooking skills received such high praise, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes: "Eat more."

He'll make herbal tea later.

Xiao Yu had no idea what her uncle was planning, and was engrossed in eating the long-missed crispy pork.

Chen Qing asked He Yuan, "How many days off can you take?"

“No holidays. We can’t let you down at this crucial moment.” He Yuan saw Chen Qing’s disappointment and put a piece of meat on her plate. “Once I finish my mission, I’ll most likely be able to take a long vacation. That way, we can prepare for our wedding.”

"You eat more."

Chen Qing served him some food.

He really worked so hard.

He Yuxiang said, "I can cook if you don't have time."

“Okay,” He Yuan agreed.

He didn't force himself. He could live a normal life unless he was forcibly confined to the research institute by the machinery factory. He just worked longer hours than the average worker.

After the family finished eating, Chen Qing handed him the prepared letter: "I originally wanted to send it to you, but it will save you money if you come back."

He Yuan wanted to pull Chen Qing to sit on the swing to read the letter.

Chen Qing replied, "I have to go to class."

"Attend class?"

"Yes, I want to learn new ideas, strive to be a new youth, and contribute to the new era."

Chen Qing recited the slogan.

He Yuan realized she was a successor to the Party leadership and understood, but his mood instantly plummeted, and his voice was somewhat muffled, "Do I have to go every day?"

"yes……"

Chen Qing waved to him.

He rode away on his bicycle.

He Yuan instantly turned into a statue, standing blankly at the door. He hadn't even exchanged a few words with her since he came back this time before she left.

Xiaoyu felt sorry for her uncle: "Uncle, my aunt came back around 8 o'clock."

"Then I'll make you some herbal tea."

He Yuan went to brew herbal tea.

Xiao Yu gently patted her mouth, wishing she hadn't said anything.

He Yuan poured the brewed herbal tea onto the table, letting it cool down before giving it to the two children to drink, so they wouldn't get burned.

He handed the gifts to the two children.

I casually asked He Yuxiang, "Is there anything in the house that needs fixing?"

"Yes, both of our stools have a broken leg. See if you can fix them. Also, I have scissors. I sharpened them, but I don't know why they're not sharp enough. My aunt uses scissors the fastest and is always buying new ones."

He Yuxiang muttered to himself.

I also showed the parts that needed fixing to my uncle.

He Yuan began making repairs.

The children playing outside asked Xiaoyu, "Has your aunt's husband come back?"

"Yes, my aunt's husband made us crispy pork, called crispy pork, it was so delicious!"

As Xiaoyu talked about it, she even started to feel hungry.

The children were all drooling.

Xiaoyu showed them again: "These are pine nuts that my uncle brought back from Northeast China. My uncle also brought me a jar of glass marbles, which are colorful patterned marbles."

Currently, glass marbles come in two varieties.

One piece costs three cents for a single color.

Colored marbles cost one cent each. Most people buy single-color marbles; colored marbles are considered high-end by many. When they heard that Xiaoyu had a jar of marbles, everyone wanted to see them, and Xiaoyu held the jar tightly to show them.

She earned the envy of all the children on the street.

He Yuxiang also received a gift from his uncle.

These are two cans of yellow peaches that belong exclusively to him.

He was quite happy because he didn't play marbles and couldn't sell them, but at least he could eat canned peaches.

As a child, He Yuxiang was well aware that his dislike of playing with toys caused his uncle a great deal of trouble in sending him gifts.

Actually, he's not picky about anything.

It's good enough to have it.

In addition, my uncle brought back many boxes containing unknown contents, as well as sausages, hazelnuts, and pine nuts.

Those boxes are most likely gifts for my aunt.

Knowing that his uncle would be working overtime soon, He Yuxiang couldn't help but come over to watch him mend the stool legs.

He Yuan asked, "Is something the matter?"

He Yuxiang: "Let me learn from you."

"Okay, I'll teach you."

He Yuan began to teach him how to repair stool legs.

Then I taught him how to sharpen the scissors to make them sharper.

Seeing her brother staying with her uncle, Xiaoyu stopped playing with the other children and squatted down next to her uncle and brother, muttering to herself.

He Yuan and He Yuxiang would both agree with her.

Xiao Yu then started gossiping about her classmates, which shocked He Yuan: "You've become their matchmaker?"

"Yeah, I think I want to be a matchmaker in the future, and then I'll pair them up. They'll have to give me six peanuts when they get married. That's a really cheap price!"

Xiaoyu felt that she was the cheapest matchmaker.

But it doesn't matter.

When she grows up, her price will go up!

He Yuan hesitated for a moment, then finally asked He Yuxiang, "Does your aunt know?"

"She ate a lot of peanuts!!"

He Yuxiang was furious just thinking about it.

Xiaoyu always loves to share with her aunt.

Then, as my aunt listened, the peanuts were all gone!

He Yuan didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Xiao Yu snorted, "I earned these peanuts, so I'm giving them to my aunt!"

She paused for a moment, then gave her uncle a bright smile: "Uncle, I will pay you back too."

He Yuan suddenly felt like his child had grown up, and felt a strange sense of relief: "Good, Xiao Yu is great."

Xiao Yu pursed her lips into a small parenthesis shape, her eyes sparkling.

He Yuxiang urged Xiaoyu to take a shower.

It will be his turn to wash later.

Xiaoyu obediently went to take a bath.

After the two siblings finished showering, it was almost time for their aunt to come home. Seeing that their aunt had returned, they went back to their room to sleep.

Chen Qing went to the main hall to write.

He Yuan handed her the herbal tea.

Chen Qing finished drinking with a bitter face: "You've integrated too well."

He really loves herbal tea.

Whenever I eat something that causes internal heat, I like to drink herbal tea.

He Yuan said, "I've heard it's very effective."

"indeed."

Chen Qing's throat tends to itch the day after eating something that causes internal heat.

I didn't feel any discomfort after drinking the herbal tea.

Chen Qing sat down, started rummaging through his bag for his notes, and prepared to summarize what he had learned that day and write a report.

Sun Aiguo's voice suddenly came from the doorway: "Comrade Chen, you dropped your notebook."
