The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 266 Becoming a Grandma

People, when will you say what?

Wang Shulan had a granddaughter, and her son sent blessings, which changed her mood.Before that, I lived hard and actively, but I didn’t have a specific direction. I just wanted to live well, earn more money, and plan for my old age.

Now it seems that I suddenly have a son, a daughter-in-law, and a granddaughter, and I have become a happy old lady. The days are no longer gloomy, but I have a bright future.

On the third day after her birthday, she couldn't hold back her longing for her little granddaughter whom she hadn't met yet, and hurried back to Beijing.

Since entering July, the weather in the provincial capital has become hotter, with the temperature above 34 degrees and the highest reaching [-] degrees.

On the street, the passers-by were a little listless, the air was hot and dry, their eyes were full of bare arms and legs, and those young men and old men who were fighting against God simply took off their vests and went shirtless.

Women are beautiful scenery in this season, not only colorful, but also full of reverie and temptation, just look at those long legs, it is always exciting.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the beauties walking on the street are all long legs, oval faces, willow-leaf eyebrows, high nose bridges, and pointed chins, as if carved out of a mold.

More plastic surgery and make-up, less fat and thin.

Do not take the liberty to strike up a conversation with a beautiful woman, as her real age may surprise you.

At this time, in the delivery room of the Women's and Children's Hospital, Xiaohui, who had just given birth to her son, was lying on the bed tiredly, with the happiness of being a new mother on her face.Next to the small bed is a newborn baby, sleeping sweetly.

Xiaolong stood in front of the bed, looking at his wife for a while, and his son for a while, feeling a little dazed with joy.

Xiaolong's parents stood by their grandson's crib, smiling all over their faces.

Yanhua stood in front of Xiaohui's bed and smiled gratifiedly. She had always treated Xiaohui like a child, and had hardly left the hospital these days. She and Xiaolong's mother took good care of her until the child was born.

Xiaohui was thin and thin. At first she thought she was going to have a caesarean section, but she didn't expect the delivery to go smoothly. It's just that the baby was a little small, about five pounds, but very healthy. The first cry that came into this world shook the whole delivery room.

The delivery went smoothly, the mother and child were safe, and the doctor said that she could be discharged home.I originally planned to stay in the hospital for three days, but the chubby hospital director said that there are too many babies and the beds are tight. I hope I can understand.

Hi, now the queue for giving birth is also starting.

After a while Zhang Li arrived in a car, so Yanhua's car brought Xiaohui and the child, and Xiaolong's mother, Zhang Li's car took Xiaolong and Xiaolong's father, and the things they brought when they came to the hospital, and the group returned home.

Wang Hong has been waiting at home for a long time. The apprentice is happy to have a child and become a master. This is a different generation, dear.

Wang Hong regards Xiaohui as her daughter, and they are recognized as mother and daughter by the restaurant.Originally, she was going to the hospital, but the Hunnan and Dadong stores were about to open, and the training of dumpling workers was tight, so she couldn't leave.

It stands to reason that she is not needed for the training of dumpling workers now, who asked trainers to have children, she, the master, had to train on behalf of the apprentices.

We know that Wang Hong is the first dumpling chef of Aqiao Dumpling Restaurant, a veteran figure, and she is accompanied by her husband Fang Jianjun, the head chef of the Huangshan Road store Hua Qing, Li Shuang who was transferred to Suzhou as the regional manager, and Zhang Li.

She is the chief dumpling instructor, and she has trained at least [-] dumpling masters, among whom we know are Xiaohui, Meng Meng, Yaru, and the dumpling directors of eight directly-operated stores in the provincial capital.

I have lived with Fang Jianjun for five years, and I have achieved positive results. Last winter, I got the certificate and bought a house.

Fang Jianjun is the head coach of cold dishes in the provincial capital, and his position is one level behind his wife Wang Hong.The relationship between the two is stable and loving, and they are recognized as model couples by the group.Xiaohui is Wang Hong's apprentice, Xiaolong is Fang Jianjun's apprentice, and the master, husband, and apprentice are married together, and they are truly a family.

Wang Hong is fifty, her son got married the year before last, and her family is in Jilin. The young couple drove over to see her when they had time, and they were very filial.It's just that she has been married for two years and has not had children. She is a bit anxious as a mother.In fact, it’s useless to be anxious. People don’t want to have children and can’t force them. Nowadays, young people are like this. If you don’t have enough fun, you won’t have children.

Fortunately, the apprentice was up to the challenge and gave birth to a grandson, who is also a grandma.

As soon as Xiaolong's mother entered the house with her grandson in her arms, Wang Hong snatched the child from other people's arms and hugged her into her arms, smiling happily, "Look at my grandson, ask grandma to hug her."

Zhang Li joked: "It's returning grandma, and I don't even talk about giving a red envelope."

Wang Hong immediately pointed to the red envelope on the coffee table and said, "I've made the envelope, and it's been prepared a long time ago. How can I not give my good grandson a red envelope?"

Zhang Li went over to pick up the red envelope, opened it and looked at it and said, "Okay, this grandma doesn't pick, it's big enough."

After Xiaohui and the child were settled, Wang Hong and Xiaolong's mother didn't leave either. Yanhua and Zhang Li came out after sitting for a while.

The two returned to the office building and sat down in Yanhua's office.

"I'm envious of having children—" Zhang Li sighed first, and then said with relief: "We don't have that life. I don't want to think about it in this life, just live well."

"We are the same." Yanhua said.

Yanhua has always wanted to have a child, but Lao Deng's sperm has a low survival rate, coupled with his advanced age, the hope of pregnancy is slim.Of course, she also took it easy. If you don't have children, you can live as you don't have children, as long as you like it.

"You still have hope, if it doesn't work, just do a test tube." Zhang Li said.

Yanhua smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, I'm already 45, old Deng is 55, it's not a joke to have a child—it's not something to force, just let nature take its course."

"That's what you said, you can't force this stuff."

"There are times when fate must be there, and there is always time in fate. Don't force it. To be honest, life is better now, conditions permit, and I want to have a child. If it is still the same as before, it is impossible to think about it." Yanhua said.

"That's—" Zhang Li nodded, "By the way, Sister Wang has a granddaughter, and I heard from Lao Tan that she went back to Beijing to see her granddaughter."

"Yes, it's been three months." Yanhua said.

"Very good." Zhang Li turned and said: "She is doing very vigorously now, and the business of all stores is very good."

Yanhua nodded, and said, "Sister Wang is prudent and aggressive."

"She and Xiaomei cooperated well," Zhang Li said.

"It's good that you cooperate with Xiangdong." Yanhua laughed.

"It's mainly him. I didn't bother. He was busy and took care of me." Zhang Li laughed.

"Didn't you recover? You have the energy to go eastward, but you are not cautious enough. The main thing is that you have to check. After opening the Hunnan and Dadong stores this year, will you still do it?" Yanhua asked.

"I looked at two more stores, and Xiangdong is planning to invest by himself, and they are all in Shenhe." Zhang Li said.

"He wants to start a business."

"Ah."

Zhang Xiangdong has always wanted to have his own store since he became an agent, and it seems that he is ready to operate it now.
