Chapter 353 : I Can't Relax for A Moment

Chapter 353: never relax for a moment

In the evening, Li Haitang prepared a large table of good dishes. She prepared the plum and braised meat, cumin lamb, potato and beef brisket, etc. Chu Hongmei also helped to make a few dishes from the capital, with vegetables and cold mixed vegetable soups, which filled the table.

When all the dishes were served, Jiang Chuheng invited everyone to the dining room to take a seat. Seeing that the table was full of dishes, old uncle he frowned and said, "Everyone said to have a simple simple plain meal, but you prepared so many dishes that they looked like chinese new year."

"If it weren't for uncle he's help today, something would have happened to our two children. A simple meal would not have been enough to thank them." Jiang Chuheng helped him sit down politely.

"Oh, it's a piece of cake. Stop talking about it. As long as the two children are fine, you parents should pay more attention in the future. They are just having fun, so you have to keep an eye on them." Old uncle he did not take the matter of saving people to heart. He believed that no matter who encountered this matter, he would save them without hesitation.

Auntie xiuqin, who had come to knock on the door earlier, was among them too. She smiled and continued, "Look after the children. You can't relax for a moment. Your eyes must be glued to them."

"That's right. It's hard to take care of a child. It's more tiring than working." Another woman answered and told them a story about her relatives. "Today, An' an Duoduo sneaked out to swim and almost fell into the water. It was broad daylight and people were coming and going in the neighborhood. It wouldn't be a big deal if they shouted for help. My nephew's child is also four years old. It was last summer when he dreamt and walked out in the middle of the night."

"Oh my god, what happened after that?" Chu Hongmei came over with the dishes and was shocked to hear such a thing.

"My nephew and his wife slept like pigs. The child ran out all night without knowing. It was only when he woke up the next morning that he found no one on the bed. The door was wide open and he immediately ran out to look for someone. We hadn't moved in yet, and all our relatives were called out to look for someone. They turned the whole neighborhood upside down and couldn't find any children. The niece and daughter-in-law blamed herself and cried herself to death."

"Did you find it later?" It was the first time Li Haitang had heard of such a thing and asked anxiously.

"I did, but I can't figure out what happened that night. When my little nephew and grandson came out of the house, he didn't wear shoes and walked around barefoot in the street. Fortunately, the neighborhood where he lived at that time was well policed, and there were few cars coming and going at night. He guessed that he had been sleepwalking all the time, wandering around randomly, and sleeping on the broken sofa at the entrance of a newsstand in another neighborhood after he was tired. By the time we found him, he was still awake. He was so confused that he couldn't remember what happened at night."

"Oh my god, it's a good thing this kid didn't get into any trouble, or fall into a deep ditch or something. Otherwise, it would be terrible." Aunt xiuqin listened with lingering fear.

The other party nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it scared my family. My nephew and his wife were too scared to go to work for a few days. Later, they took their child to see an old chinese doctor to cure him of sleepwalking. But the doctor said that sleepwalking is a psychological symptom. The child is young and doesn't need treatment at all. It will disappear automatically after a period of time. Let them pay more attention when they take care of him and pay more attention before and after puberty."

"You should be careful. You have to take your child to bed at night and lock the door. I'm lucky to find it this time. If I do it again next time, I won't be so lucky."

"Yeah."

Hearing what they were talking about, the alarm in Li Haitang's heart rang. It seemed that they should pay more attention to it when they sleep at night.

After Jiang Chuheng filled everyone up, Li Haitang also led the two children to the table, and quietly taught them two words, and brought them a glass of wine.

The siblings listened to their mother and carefully walked to uncle he with their glasses in their hands. They respectfully and earnestly thanked him, "Grandpa he, thank you today. An' an and Duoduo have a toast for you."

"Okay, okay, you two are good. Grandpa took your drinks. Don't sneak into the lake again in the future. If you want to swim, you must be accompanied by an adult." The old man took two glasses of wine with a smile and gave a warning.

"Yes, we remember." The siblings nodded obediently and ran back to their mother with a smile after he finished drinking.

"Come on, old he, fellow villagers, have a drink together." Jiang Baichuan picked up his glass and touched everyone with a smile.

After they had a glass of wine, Chu Hongmei also invited everyone to eat, holding public chopsticks to distribute the pork, warmly introduced: "This is our haitang's specialty, Hunan province famous dish, plum, pork, there must be a dish at the feast on new year's day, everyone have a taste of it."

"It's delicious. We have it in the big restaurants here in the capital, but it's not as authentic as it is in Hunan province. Haitang, a Hunan province man, must taste like pork. We're all blessed today." Aunt xiuqin smiled and took the button meat. Seeing that it was bright in color and medium in weight, she said with a smile, "Just look at the outside and you will find it delicious."

"It's exquisitely made on the outside, and the taste is really good. It's just right steamed, soft and delicious, suitable for all ages." One of the neighbors had already started eating.

"Mmm, it's delicious. It's good for people of our age who don't have good teeth." Uncle he opened his mouth to eat.

Seeing that everyone liked it, Li Haitang, the cook, was happy. He put a piece of braised meat between the two children and invited them to eat it, "The braised meat is too soft and rotten. Uncle he and the neighbors have a taste of it."

"Haitang, you are usually very busy. I don't think you have ever been in the kitchen. I didn't expect you to be very good at cooking. The taste of this table is really unspeakable." Aunt xiuqin had already tried it all.

Li Haitang smiled modestly, "I only made a few good dishes at this table. Most of them were made by my mother-in-law."

"That's great, too. My daughter-in-law is usually busy too. When she comes home, she washes her hands and eats. She never goes into the kitchen. During the holidays, she only helps out. The only thing she can do is egg fried rice. I'll have to teach her how to cook and entertain the guests."

Li Haitang chatted with the neighbors while taking care of the two children for dinner. Tonight, she steamed two separate bowls of sausage and corn rice for the two of them, as well as mushroom patties. They were enjoying themselves, and she also picked up some other dishes for them. The two of them ate with their mouths open.

"Mom, the food tonight is delicious." An' an had completely forgotten about the drowning and was focused on the food.

"Eat more if it's good, but don't overeat yourself. Just eat an eighth of your fill. I like this corn rice. Mom will steam it for you tomorrow night." Li Haitang added some vegetables for the two of them to eat with meat and vegetables.

"Thank you, mom." An' an licked his greasy mouth to thank him.

Li Haitang smiled with relief, and gave them a bit of fish with thorns, taking good care of them while they ate.
