Mother Wu spoke with an accent, but her sincerity seed genuine. As she spoke, she walked over to the dining table, opened the big cloth bag, and not finding what she was looking for, quickly turned to ask Father Wu, "Where are the dried cherry tomatoes? And the dried fish, why aren’t they in there?"
Father Wu, hearing this, hurriedly helped look for the items.
A large plastic bag was taken out by Father Wu from a denim luggage bag.
Mother took the plastic bag over, placed it on the dining table, and untied the knot on the plastic bag, revealing several smaller plastic bags filled with food inside.
Inside the smaller plastic bags, the food was wrapped in two layers of preservation bags.
"There’s nothing much from our small place, just these local products." Mother Wu said as she opened a few of the preservation bags, her tone eager: "The cherry tomatoes are grown by ourselves, and the fish was caught by Hanhan’s dad. Earlier, Hanhan ntioned on the phone that you liked them, so her dad and I dried so more."
As she spoke, Mother Wu took out a small jar from the cloth bag: "This is the sweet fernted rice made by Hanhan’s dad. That’s about all the skill he has. Just calculated the days, and it was ready, so we brought so over..."
The lid of the jar was opened, and Mother Wu also removed the layer of gauze.
Instantly, the rich aroma of the wine filled the air.
Wu Xuehan’s cheeks turned red, and she scratched her earlobe, her own mother was overly enthusiastic, but Ah Li always preferred tranquility, she didn’t know if Ah Li would be impatient in her heart.
But she couldn’t bear to interrupt, not wanting to embarrass her mother.
Instead, it was Father Wu, who seed slightly dull, noticing that it had been Mother Wu talking all along, he nudged his wife with his elbow. Mother Wu caught on, her voice suddenly stopped, and then looking towards Tang Li, she beca even more restrained.
When Wu Xuehan first went to university, Father Wu and Mother Wu accompanied their daughter to register, and t her roommate, but it was only a brief encounter.
Now seeing Tang Li again, they were completely clueless.
Before coming here, their daughter told them how good this classmate nad Tang Li was, but when they actually saw her, they found that she was not quite what they had imagined.
She looked like soone born and raised in the Capital.
And her deanor and temperant didn’t seem like that of a naive girl.
Father Wu and Mother Wu had lived in the countryside for decades, but they were not ignorant, especially when their daughter stood next to her, the contrast was even more apparent.
This girl, at first glance, seed more capable and decisive than Hanhan.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming awkward, Tang Li put her keys back in her bag, then walked over, picked up a cherry tomato from a preservation bag, ate it, and after looking up at Mother Wu, she pursed her lips and smiled: "It’s very sweet, just like the ones Xuehan brought to school last ti."
Mother Wu breathed a sigh of relief, then also smiled.
"If you like it, Auntie will dry so more and send them over next ti."
As she spoke, Mother Wu appeared sowhat embarrassed: "They are not of much value, I heard from Xuehan that you’ve beco a big star now, and big stars consu only the best, but don’t worry, your uncle and I prepare everything very cleanly, it won’t harm your health."
"I really like these." Tang Li looked back at Wu Xuehan, her smile unwavering: "When my mother was alive, she also used to dry cherry tomatoes as snacks for . If next ti I feel like eating them, I’ll tell Xuehan to pass the ssage to Uncle and Auntie."
Hearing this, Wu Xuehan’s smile brightened even more.
That day at noon, Tang Li stayed for a al.
It was Father Wu who cooked.
Soon, the fragrance from the kitchen wafted out.
Wu Xuehan looked proud: "My dad has been master of the kitchen at ho for decades, his skills are unbeatable."
"Don’t listen to her nonsense." Mother Wu was setting up the bowls and chopsticks: "I used to work as a nanny elsewhere, with only the two of them at ho, she was lazy and gluttonous, and that’s how her dad’s cooking skills were honed."
Hearing this, Tang Li looked towards Mother Wu: "You’ve worked in the dostic service industry?"
