Chapter 259: Grandma's Here!
The two children couldn't finish half a pound of dumplings, but Yuan Xiu ate the rest.
Once I tasted it, I realized that it tasted exceptionally good.
"Boss, your dumplings are delicious! The dough is rolled out perfectly, the filling is seasoned just right, and the vinegar, what brand did you buy? It tastes sweet and sour at the same time."
No wonder the whole family disagreed with opening a dumpling shop; it would be a waste not to use this skill.
"Why call me boss? What kind of boss am I?"
Yuan Xiu's words made the boss extremely happy, and he generously said, "I made this vinegar myself. If you like it, I'll get you some to take home and eat."
"I'm so sorry." Yuan Xiu really thought this vinegar was good. It was different from any other vinegar she had ever had. It wasn't so sour, and she could drink it as is.
The children also ate heartily.
"How about I buy it?"
"what?"
The shop owner paused for a moment, then asked, "Buy?"
"Yes, I'll buy it, and I might buy it again in the future."
The boss wiped his hands on his apron. "This, this vinegar... I never intended to sell vinegar."
Yuan Xiu laughed and said, "If you can sell dumplings, you can definitely sell vinegar too."
The boss suddenly realized, slapping his thigh. "That's right! Look at me, my brain didn't work right away, I didn't remember it for a second."
During the time the shop was open, more than one customer said that her vinegar was delicious. She gave away vinegar to those who said it was good, since it was homemade and she didn't have to buy it. In total, she gave away two or three pounds of vinegar.
The boss doesn't have any bottles here, and Yuan Xiu didn't bring any with her. Using a bowl to turn the vinegar isn't appropriate either. She can't exactly take a bowl of vinegar to kindergarten and then to the hospital, can she?
He then told the shop owner that he would have his family come over to buy more the next day.
The next day, Aunt Zhao went to buy the vinegar; she went there while she was buying groceries.
When she returned, she told Yuan Xiu, "She refused to accept the money, saying it was to thank you for reminding her."
After saying that, he added, "There's a sign outside selling vinegar. When I went there, there were quite a few people there trying it, and they all bought some. I'm afraid it will be even better than the dumpling business in the future."
Everyone knows how to make dumplings, and many people make them well. Unless it's absolutely necessary, not many people eat out. Vinegar, on the other hand, is something that every household uses when cooking.
That very evening, Aunt Zhao made dumplings with the vinegar, and Jiang Zhou tasted them and thought they were delicious.
As she ate, a sudden inspiration struck Yuan Xiu, reminding her of a particularly famous vinegar brand in the north from her previous life.
It seems to be called "Chen's Fragrant Vinegar".
"Aunt Zhao, what's the boss's last name?"
Aunt Zhao: "Her surname is Chen, right? I heard someone call her Sister-in-law Chen."
That might actually be true.
The family was eating dumplings when they heard the sound of the courtyard gate being pushed open. They all assumed it was a neighbor coming to visit or borrow something.
When they opened their mouths and saw the people outside, the whole family was startled!
Qiaoqiao and Zhizhi each clung to one of Jiangzhou's legs, tilting their heads to look at the person at the door.
"What? You're not welcoming me?"
An Hui put her bag down on the ground and opened her arms to hug the two children.
Qiaoqiao and Zhizhi let go of their father's legs and ran away.
Mom, a beautiful grandma came to our house!
"Mom? What brings you here?" Yuan Xiu quickly got up and went over, then bent down to get the slippers that An Hui had left there in the shoe cabinet.
Anhui is too busy to deal with Jiangzhou and Yuanxiu right now, as she is focused on spending time with her grandchildren.
"Why don't you recognize Grandma? Grandma last time..."
"The last time was when they were two and a half years old. Do you think they would have any memory of that time?"
Ms. An Hui has visited twice since before the child was born, and this is the third time. As for Yuan Xiu and Jiang Zhou, they have never taken the child there.
It wasn't that she didn't go on purpose; Yuan Xiu was in school, and the children were too young for long journeys, so she hadn't been back.
This time, Qiaoqiao and Zhizhi hid behind their mother.
Grandma and the others knew who it was, and they would send them delicious food, as well as beautiful clothes and toys.
Every now and then, Dad would take them to call Grandma.
Dad said it was a long-distance call, and the home phone couldn't be used.
They had seen photos of their grandmother.
The people in the photo...
"Not as pretty as grandma!"
In no time, the two little ones were clinging to Ms. An Hui's back and wouldn't leave.
An Hui gave Qiao Qiao and Zhi Zhi two quick kisses on the cheeks, exclaiming, "Such sweet little mouths!"
"Grandma looks beautiful!"
"Grandma is beautiful!"
Her little mouth was as sweet as honey; if you praised her, I would praise her too.
Ms. An Hui was completely infatuated with him.
"Why did you suddenly come here? What brings you here?" Jiang Zhou asked.
Yuan Xiu nudged him with her elbow, saying, "How can you ask such a question?"
Aunt Zhao cooked dumplings again. Since Anhui wouldn't eat at the coffee table, everyone moved to the dining table.
The family of five stared at An Hui.
An Hui picked up a dumpling and put it down again. "Can you all stop staring at me? Go do your own things. Qiao Qiao and Zhi Zhi are here with me, that's enough."
When Qiaoqiao and Zhizhi heard their grandmother call their names, they quickly nodded their little heads.
While ordering, she waved her little hand to shoo people away, saying, "Go on with your work!"
Aunt Zhao smiled and got up to go into the kitchen.
Yuan Xiu pulled Jiang Zhou aside: "Whatever you want to say, let's talk after Mom finishes eating."
When eating with her two children, An Hui didn't adhere to the rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping. She chatted with Qiao Qiao and Zhi Zhi while eating.
They talked about everything from kindergarten to bedwetting.
"We haven't wet the bed in ages!" Qiaoqiao patted her little chest proudly.
Zhizhi nodded: "Other children in kindergarten wet the bed and soak their blankets while sleeping at kindergarten at noon."
"Really? Our Qiaoqiao and Zhizhi are such good kids!"
Good children start sharing the delicious food from their "home".
They went upstairs to retrieve the candies they had hidden.
I stepped onto a small stool to get the tin box of cookies from the dresser.
Once you get it, go give it to the beautiful grandma.
Jiang Zhou was envious; he didn't even get this kind of treatment at home.
After An Hui finished eating, the conversation continued.
"I came to see the children and take care of some other things along the way."
Jiang Zhou felt she had reversed the order of events. "I came here to take care of some business, and then I stopped by to see the children!"
An Hui rolled her eyes at him, "I won't hold it against you for the sake of the children."
She turned her head to speak to Yuan Xiu: "I did come here for work. It wasn't originally my job, but I thought about how you've all been here for two years, so I applied for this business trip. I'm not staying at a hotel with them; I plan to stay at home. Would you welcome me?"
"Of course you're welcome! Mom, you can stay as long as you want! I'll go make up your bed right now. You can sleep in Qiaoqiao and Zhizhi's room. Let them sleep with us for the next few days."
"No need, let them sleep with me, I'll take care of them."
Yuan Xiu: "They don't sleep very soundly."
Even the mischievous An Hui wanted to sleep with her grandchildren and get closer to them.
"Would you like to sleep with Grandma? She's scared to sleep alone."
The brother and sister looked at their mother and then at their grandmother, longing to sleep with their mother, but their grandmother was afraid...
"Grandma, don't be afraid, Qiaoqiao/Zhizhi are with you!"
