I have become popular in modern times with food

Chapter 73 The 1th Qi ([-])

On the twenty-fifth year of the year, Yu Jianguo held the first-year summary meeting of Yujia Restaurant, paid wages to each employee, and gave them big red envelopes, and treated them to a big meal that they had missed for a long time.

Zhou Xiaoyan drank too much, grabbed Yu Jianping's sleeve and refused to let it go, and said reluctantly, "Uncle Jianping, don't go back, our Yu's restaurant will be open as usual during the Chinese New Year! I am willing to come to work every day, even on the first day of the new year !” In the end, I just couldn’t bear to part with the delicious sauced pork knuckle.

This made Yu Jianping dumbfounded.

"Come on, let's all have a drink together, and hope that our Yu family restaurant will go to a higher level in the coming year!" Yu Jianguo stood up and raised his glass first, and everyone shouted together: "To a higher level!"

Most of these employees are young people in their twenties like Zhou Xiaoyan, but at this moment, all of them are full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit.

On the twenty-sixth day of the new year, Yu's restaurant put up a signboard to suspend business, and only two ancient red lanterns were kept lit, heralding a prosperous coming year.

The two brothers of the Yu family packed their luggage and set foot on the journey back to Rao Township.

Along the way, Yu Jianping was very silent and felt a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, the old lady won't blame you." Yu Jianguo patted his leg to let him relax.

Yu Jianping didn't say anything, just smiled a not-so-good-looking smile, but his eyes drifted to the clouds outside the plane window.

Near nostalgia timid.

This is probably the best portrayal of him at the moment.From Rao Township to the capital for more than [-] years, he has grown from a green boy to a very old age.Hometown, it exists in the memory, the pain that cannot be touched...

After a flight of more than two hours, the plane soon arrived at Yangcheng Airport.Unlike the dry freeze in the capital, the winter in the south even has a dampness in the air.

Yu Jianping, who had long been accustomed to the northern climate, shuddered as soon as he stepped out of the airport gate.

"Jianguo, Jianping, here!" Mother Yu borrowed a neighbor's car and picked them up in Yangcheng, along with the two children of Yu's family.

"Father, Uncle Jianping." Yu Jian greeted them with a wide smile, and took their suitcases.On the other hand, Yu Yuan probably just woke up, still a little dazed, hugging his sister's thigh, hiding behind and making no sound.

Yu Jianguo picked him up, hugged him in his arms and spanked his buttocks before the little guy yelled, "Dad." Then he turned his head and called, "Uncle Jianping."

"Ah Jian, why have you lost weight again?" Yu Jianguo looked at his daughter's thin cheeks, and the veins on his arms were bulging. He felt distressed, "Is it because you are too tired from studying?"

He wanted to say that if you are too tired, you can take the entrance exam to any university, and you don't have to go to Beijing University.But when she thinks that her daughter has persisted for so long, she will definitely not give up halfway.

Then he said: "It seems that Uncle Jianping and I have to give you good nutrition." We must take advantage of the new year to let her gain a few pounds of meat.

Seeing Yu Jian's appearance, Yu Jianping felt very uncomfortable. He didn't have any children himself, but he sincerely treated Yu Jian and Yu Yuan, especially Yu Jian. If Jianguo didn't agree, he really wanted to recognize him as his daughter.

Who wouldn't want to have a beautiful daughter who softly calls her daddy!

It takes nearly two hours to drive from Yangcheng to Rao Township. Along the way, Yu Jian whispered to Yu Jianping about the changes in Rao Township over the years, from the repair of roads to the development of parks, from the rise of commercial streets to snacks The decline of the street, bit by bit, everything is fine.

Yu Jianping listened carefully, and was fascinated unconsciously.

Xi'ao Village has not changed much, and the whole island is still simple and unsophisticated.The fishing industry has developed well in the past two years. Many young people have come back to contract the sea farm, or raise fish or crabs. The village is more popular than before.

"Jianguo is back? I heard that you opened a restaurant outside? Business is booming!" The old man who drove the ferry had spent most of his life on this sea route, greeted Yu Jianguo happily, and looked at the people behind him. It was familiar, so when I approached and looked carefully, it took me a while to realize, "This... this is Jianping, right?"

"Uncle Wang, I'm Jianping." In this sentence without any accusations or doubts, Yu Jianping's heart suddenly calmed down. He smiled from the heart for the first time since today, and shook Uncle Wang's hand, In the local language of Rao Township, "You are still the same as before, nothing has changed."

……

"Jianping, come to eat at home after work, let's have a chat! Uncle's house has hidden good tea, wait for you to make a pot!" When they arrived at the destination, Uncle Wang also took care of Yu Jianping. After seeing his promise, The ship's engine was restarted.

This comes and goes, one trip after another, Uncle Wang has been working for forty years, rain or shine, all year round.

Yu Jianping admires such old people. Their persistence has no conflicts of interest, but is purely for connecting the village with the outside world and guarding the road leading to the outside world.

"Yuanyuan, next time you see Grandpa Wang, remember to say hello. Grandpa sails here every day. It's very hard." On the other hand, Yu Jian is educating Yu Yuan. Very polite.

"Oh." Yu Yuan pursed his lips, he could ignore anyone's words, but his sister's words always existed like an imperial decree to him.

Grandma Yu had been waiting at the gate of the yard for a long time, watching a group of people approaching from a distance, the last figure was much shorter than in memory, her eyes gradually turned red,

"Mom—it's so cold, why don't you wait in the house?" Yu Jianguo grabbed the old mother's hand, and as expected, it was freezing cold.

Grandma Yu was so preoccupied with Yu Jianping who was behind her that she didn't have the time to pay attention to him. She hurriedly shook off his hand and walked forward, calling tentatively, "Jianping?"

With a "plop", before Grandma Yu reached out to him, Yu Jianping bent his knees, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed heavily, "Godmother—"

The son is unfilial, the son is back...

In front of the shrine, Yu Jianping respectfully placed three sticks of incense and brushed off the ashes from the ancestral tablet.

With tears in her eyes, Grandma Yu murmured to the old man's memorial tablet: "Old man, Jianping is back! I will burn incense for you..."

"Godmother, it's all my fault, I will be filial to you in the future..." Yu Jianping was also very emotional, his eyes were red.

Yu Jianguo left the two of them talking alone, sighed, turned and went into the kitchen.

Yu Jian was sorting vegetables, saw him close the door, and asked, "Where's Uncle Jianping?"

"Together with your grandma! Uncle Jianping's heart has been opened..." In the end, it was a happy thing. Yu Jianguo shook off the remaining sadness, watched Yu Jian busy, and said: "What are you going to do?"

She moved the things on the long table to other places, and now dozens of vegetables are neatly arranged, and Yu Jian is still picking and picking in the basket, enjoying himself.

"Making wontons~" the little girl said crisply, looking up at her father, "Twenty-four breaths."
