Chapter 468 Afternoon chat and watermelon pie(1/2)
In the afternoon, the Lin family members were sent away, and Feng Yifan sat in the restaurant with his wife, father-in-law and mother.
The street outside looks bleak and deserted because of its closed sides.
But the family sitting in the restaurant was not infected by the bleakness. Everyone still had a smile on their faces and chatted about some interesting things. From time to time, laughter would float out of the restaurant.
Lu Cuiling mentioned her son again when she was a child: "Yifan was a kid who likes to eat very much. At that time, his grandmother often said that this kid was a greedy man. It would be good to be a chef when she grew up and could cook for herself. But unexpectedly, this kid was really a chef."
Su Ruoxi was always very curious about her husband's childhood. She brought the chair closer to her mother-in-law and surrounded her to chat.
"Mom, wasn't Yifan very naughty when he was a child?"
Lu Cuiling glanced at her son and said, "If you want to be naughty, Yifan was not naughty when he was a child. Maybe it was because his father and I were not by my side. He was very sensible and could do a lot of work for his grandma."
Su Ruoxi continued to ask: "Mom, did Yifan do anything too much to you and dad when he was a child?"
Lu Cuiling glanced at her son again, thought about it carefully and said, "If you want to say something too much, maybe he lived in the city with me and his father for two years. He almost didn't give us a good look. Every day when he came home, he locked himself in the room and asked him to have a meal, just like inviting the master."
When Su Ruoxi heard this, she gently kicked her husband with her feet.
Feng Yifan was kicked by his wife and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you kicking me?"
Su Ruoxi glared at her husband and then nodded to her mother-in-law.
The meaning is very obvious. Let the husband apologize to his mother-in-law immediately, take the opportunity to explain the mistakes he had done in the past, and alleviate the conflicts between the mother and son.
But Feng Yifan seemed to have no idea what his wife meant at all, and said seriously: "So many years have passed, but in fact, those things are nothing."
Hearing her husband say this, Su Ruoxi glared at her husband again and kicked her husband again.
In his wife's opinion, Feng Yifan's words would make his mother-in-law sad, so he had to be locked up and expressed his opinion with his mother.
How could Lu Cuiling not see the couple's movements? She couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay, can you couple stop making small moves there? My mother no longer cared about the matter at that time. Yifan was still a child at that time, and that kind of behavior was normal."
After hearing what his mother said, Feng Yifan hesitated for a moment and sighed and spoke about the past.
"Actually, I didn't hate you and dad at that time, but I had never lived with you before, so I suddenly lived with you at that time, and my grandma was not by my side. I didn't know how to get along with you, so I could only try to avoid it."
After hearing what her husband said, Su Ruoxi seized the opportunity and asked, "Then why don't you communicate with your parents?"
Feng Yifan looked helpless: "There is no way. At that time, I was young and didn't know how to communicate with my parents. I always felt that I was a child in my parents' eyes, so they wouldn't believe anything they said."
Lu Cuiling suddenly said, "By the way, there was one thing that made Yifan unwilling to communicate with us."
Su Ruoxi quickly asked, "Mom, what's the matter?"
Lu Cuiling looked at her son and saw that her son did not stop him from speaking out, so she continued to talk to her daughter-in-law.
"At that time, Yifan had just transferred to a strange environment and was excluded by some classmates in the class, and then some classmates would target him. As a result, he was not convinced and fought with his classmates who made a prank against him. Afterwards, his father decided that he was causing trouble in school and scolded him."
When his mother mentioned this, Feng Yifan said helplessly: "My father always feels that as long as he doesn't cause trouble, others will not bully him. If others come to him, you must be the first to cause trouble. This kind of thing has happened."
Lu Cuiling also smiled bitterly and said, "It's not the first time. Yifan seems to have been scolded several times because of this."
Su Ruoxi whispered: "I know once, you just returned from the city and he transferred back to the middle school in the town. He went to school on the first day, that time on the school bus."
Lu Cuiling nodded: "Yes, that's the same time. Your father is such a person. He always thinks of people well, thinking that if he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, there will be no trouble."
Feng Yifan shook his head: "There is no way, the good guy for the rest of his life can't be changed."
Su Jinrong suddenly said, "No, say this, that's it, you, father, have to, respect."
After hearing what his father-in-law said, Feng Yifan quickly said, "Dad, I know that it's not right for me. I shouldn't have talked about my dad like that. I actually respect my father very much in my heart.
And I admire him very much. After experiencing so many things, he can always face them optimistically and positively."
When Su Ruoxi heard her husband's words, she also agreed: "Yes, dad is more optimistic. I also think dad's optimistic and positive attitude is very contagious."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "He is not optimistic or positive, he clearly likes to comfort himself."
Feng Yifan said to his mother with a serious look on his face: "Mom, don't say that. If you want to be optimistic and positive, my dad is really better than you. Think about when you left the factory together?"
When Lu Cuiling heard her son’s reminder, she immediately remembered that when they had just left the factory.
Indeed, at that time, Lu Cuiling really felt like the sky was falling.
Because I left the factory, I had no income. In the future, I had to support my son. This really made Lu Cuiling very uncomfortable and almost became autistic.
Fortunately, Feng Jiandong was still optimistic and positive at that time, and soon made the decision to return home together.
At that time, Feng Jiandong had left the factory with voluntary signing and received a considerable subsidy, which successfully maintained the family's expenses for a period of time.
Now when his son said that, Lu Cuiling recalled that passage and really wanted to admit it.
At that time, it was really thanks to my husband's optimistic and positive attitude that he could support the entire family.
Including later, during the process of planting vegetables together, Feng Jiandong was optimistic and positive many times, allowing everyone to overcome difficulties together, and finally successfully created the "Yanghu Township" vegetable brand.
Su Ruoxi asked curiously again: "Mom, why did you and dad think of growing vegetables?"
When Lu Cuiling heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and her whole body also emerged from her previous state, emitting a different kind of brilliance.
"Actually, your father and I have done various specialty plantings in the countryside before. Although we have made some money, we can only make some things for one year, and it may be difficult to do the next year. Later, did Yifan run out and come to your house to be an apprentice?"
Speaking of this, Lu Cuiling paused for a moment, but the smile on her face gradually bloomed.
"At that time, your father and I discussed it. I thought that my son would definitely need vegetables in the future as a chef. Since we are farming in the countryside, we might as well grow vegetables and grow various vegetables, which will be specially supplied to you Su Ji in the future."
Hearing this, Feng Yifan, Su Ruoxi and father-in-law Su Jinrong were all stunned.
No one expected that Lu Cuiling and Feng Jiandong decided to grow vegetables, but they were originally intended to serve their son's restaurant.
Feng Yifan laughed: "Mom, you and my dad are really amazing, they actually did it."
Lu Cuiling waved her hand and said, "How can we rely on our old couple alone be able to do it? It's the support of the village, especially Yue Qingsong. She has helped us a lot over the years, and there are many young people in the village. With them all participating, we can turn organic vegetable planting into a scale today."
Feng Yifan heard his mother's words and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that boy Qingsong is quite powerful."
Lu Cuiling immediately said: "That's right, Qingsong is much better than you, and he also knows how to be filial to his parents."
After hearing what my mother said, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Mom, what you said is like I am not filial to you. Haven't I always been very filial to you and my dad?"
Lu Cuiling then said, "We old couple are strong and do not rely on you. You, just take care of your father-in-law and take good care of both Ruoxi and Ruoruo."
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "That's fine, I promise to take good care of it."
When Su Jinrong heard this, he looked at Lu Cuiling and said, "It's me, please trouble everyone, let you not be with your son and daughter-in-law."
Lu Cuiling immediately said, "Brother Rong, what are you saying? If it weren't for you, could Yifan achieve what he has achieved today? He has cultivated it carefully. It can be said that you have spent more effort on him than my father and I combined. It is his right to take care of you."
Feng Yifan also stood up and said to his father-in-law: "Dad, don't think too much. I will definitely be filial to you and my parents. When Ruifeng set up a stall, we will go back to the countryside together. I think that when you are in the countryside environment, your body will definitely recover faster."
Su Jinrong nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "That's right. You go together. Then stay in our place for a while and enjoy the pastoral life there. By the way, you can also study the recipes at home. Don't you still want to restore a recipe from Su Ji?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "That's right, in the countryside, there will be fresher ingredients, which is just convenient for me to study."
When Su Ruoxi saw her family's condition, a smile appeared on her face and was very happy.
Su Ruoxi has always been looking forward to such a family atmosphere.
After her husband's return, the family atmosphere finally became more harmonious, and Su Ruoxi was naturally very happy.
Lu Cuiling suddenly glanced at the restaurant wall clock and said to her son: "Okay, OK, stop talking, hurry up and make snacks for our little baby Ruoru. You promised Ruoru and brought snacks to pick her up. If you don't make delicious, we won't agree at that time."
When her mother urged her, Feng Yifan also smiled and said, "Okay, go and do it right away."
As he said that, Feng Yifan stood up and then reached out to his wife.
Su Ruoxi smiled, stood up, held hands with her husband, and walked towards the kitchen together.
Lu Cuiling and Su Jinrong turned their heads and looked at the young couple together.
Su Jinrong said: "It's great."
Lu Cuiling also echoed: "Yes, this is great. If the couple are harmonious, our big family will be harmonious, and our Ruoruo will be happy every day."
After entering the kitchen, Su Ruoxi asked her husband: "What snack do you want to make for your daughter today?"
Feng Yifan went directly to the refrigerator and took out the watermelon he and his apprentice went to the farmers' market in the morning, and bought it by the way.
"Let's make a watermelon pie for my daughter and her kindergarten kids."
When it comes to being a "pie", Su Ruoxi is naturally familiar with it. She has worked with her husband many times and is very curious about her husband's watermelon pie.
Feng Yifan immediately assigned a task to his wife: "Would you be good at being a good foundation?"
Su Ruoxi raised her chin proudly and said, "No problem, I can do these things, just butter, flour, powdered sugar, and egg yolks, and stir evenly, so I can do it."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Well, that's right, my wife is getting smarter and smarter."
Su Ruoxi was very proud and then started preparing.
Feng Yifan also broke the watermelon here, took out half of it, beat out the watermelon juice, and added some milk, light cream and eggs to it and stir it evenly.
Although the part of my wife's pie skin was stirred into flocs, it has not been kneaded into a ball.
At this time, Su Ruoxi said to her husband: "Come here and knead the dough."
Feng Yifan had no choice but to go over, first add a little matcha powder to it, and then knead it into the dough. As a result, the dough turned green, wrapped it with plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration.
In the following time, Feng Yifan continued to stir up the inward sink of the pie.
At the same time, Feng Yifan also specially prepared some embellishments to make the watermelon pie look more like a watermelon. For example, cut out the rind part, boil it in boiling water, and then make it with honey for honey.
