From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

In order to ease the relationship between his wife and mother-in-law, Feng Zhengming and his wife and daughter went to visit his wife's grandmother the next morning.

Grandma is even older than Grandpa Situ, but she is in very good health.

The old lady was also very happy to see Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing bringing the little girl to visit her.

"Oh, Zhengming, grandma is so happy that you can come."

Feng Zhengming smiled and responded, "Grandma, you must take good care of yourself and stay healthy. Qingqing and I are still discussing bringing you to Shanghai to live with us for a while."

Grandma was very happy to hear what Feng Zhengming said, but she refused to be taken to Shanghai.

"Grandma knows that you are filial, but I will not go to Shanghai and cause you any trouble."

Feng Zhengming: "It's not a big deal, grandma."

Luo Qing also agreed: "Grandma, if you really want to go, we will take you there. It's not a big deal now."

Grandma smiled and held both of their hands.

And he put Luo Qing's hand forcefully into Feng Zhengming's hand.

"Zhengming, grandma used to favor boys over girls and was very mean, so she was not nice to Qingqing when she was little and only doted on her brother.

She is not nice to your aunt either. Grandma is really not a good grandma."

Hearing what his grandma said, Feng Zhengming hurried to comfort the old lady.

"Grandma, it's okay. It's all in the past. Don't always worry about it. Qingqing has long forgotten it. Grandma, you have to take care of yourself. I'll make whatever you want to eat."

When grandma heard what Feng Zhengming said, she immediately burst into tears.

In fact, since grandma fell ill, she suddenly understood a lot of things.

She has always been strong-willed since she was young.

And while she is strong-willed, she is also a rather mean and ungrateful person.

Perhaps only Luo Qing's grandfather could bear it.

So over the years, grandma has had few friends.

After my grandfather passed away, my grandmother rarely went out to talk to the neighbors.

All of grandma's neighbors knew that the old lady had a bad temper.

Even behind her back, many people would speak ill of the old lady.

Grandma doesn't care about those at all.

She still goes her own way and is still very mean.

If you want to talk about someone who grandma is less mean to?
I'm afraid it can only be Luo Qing's brother.

My grandmother was indeed influenced by the traditional ideas of the past, and has always held the very traditional idea of ​​favoring boys over girls.

So Luo Qing's brother Luo Wenhan is her only grandson in the absence of any grandsons.

Grandma has indeed been very good to Luo Wenhan since he was a child.

Of course, Luo Wenhan did not let his grandmother down.

This time when grandma was sick, it was Luo Wenhan who basically ran around to take care of her.

Especially when my grandma needed to go upstairs for examination and treatment, there were often many people waiting for the elevator.

It was Luo Wenhan who took the trouble to carry grandma up and down the stairs.

Perhaps Luo Wenhan was indeed over-spoiled since he was a child.

Perhaps in order to marry Fang Hongyan, he was indeed not kind to his family.

But Luo Wenhan is not a bad person by nature.

He also understands filial piety.

When grandma was sick, he stayed by her bedside for a long time.

Grandma was also there when Luo Wenhan was guarding her bedside.

It was during my conversation with Luo Wenhan that I realized how mean I was in the past.

After grandma was discharged from the hospital, she always felt guilty towards Luo Qing.

Thinking back on how mean she had been to Luo Qing since childhood, grandma even felt ashamed to see Luo Qing.

This may be because my grandma is so old and has experienced death once, so she has finally let go of many things that she couldn’t let go of before, and finally started to want to make some changes.

Grandma looked at the little girl Feng Nuanyu and teased her with a smile.

"That's great. This girl should look a lot like Qingqing when she was little, right?"

Because grandma disliked Luo Qing when she was a child and never really took care of her, she has almost no impression of what Luo Qing looked like when she was a child.

Luo Qing smiled and replied, "My aunt said that she looks a lot like me when I was a child, and that she was even cuter than me when I was a child."

Grandma smiled and said, "That's good. It's good if the children are better than their parents."

Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing took their daughter to her grandmother's house for the whole day.

I cooked two meals for grandma.

Feng Zhengming also cooks very soft dishes to take care of his grandma's teeth.

I even removed the bones from the fish so that she could enjoy the deliciousness of the fish.

Grandma was really happy on this day.

After dinner, grandma did not try to keep Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing.

I just told them to be careful on their way back.

On the way back from grandma's house.

The daughter had fallen asleep in her mother's arms.

Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing were silent for a long time.

Luo Qing was the first to speak: "I feel that grandma is really old. The old lady that I used to hate doesn't hate her anymore now. In my heart, I hope that grandma can get better."

Feng Zhengming comforted his wife: "It will be fine. Doesn't grandma look very good today? I believe grandma is still in good health."

I didn’t have much contact with my grandma in the past, except when I got married and when Luo Qing had just given birth.

At that time, my grandmother and mother-in-law went to take care of me for a while.

My grandma had changed a lot by then and was no longer as mean as before.

But in fact, it was the mother-in-law who took care of Luo Qing more.

But when I saw my grandma again today, I could feel that the old lady had changed a lot.

Especially grandma's attitude towards Feng Nuanyou.

Grandma likes this great-granddaughter very much.

That's a genuine love.

The little girl seemed to like her great-grandmother and even took the initiative to hug her.

At night, grandma faced grandpa's portrait alone.

The old lady sighed for the first time: "Did I make you suffer a lot over the years? So you finally left me behind and went away first?"

Then the old lady smiled at the portrait and said, "But you probably didn't expect that I actually enjoyed more blessings than you. I also really let it go and moved on."

Grandma has indeed gotten over some of her past stubbornness and has become a more peaceful person.

During the Chinese New Year, grandma even gave red envelopes to the younger generations.

This year, it seems like everything has changed.

But it seems like nothing has changed.

Feng Zhengming still gathered all the relatives from his own family and Luo Qing's family together, and then everyone had a lively New Year's Eve dinner in Huiquanlou.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Feng Zhengming led a group of children to set off fireworks outside Huiquan Building.

Luo Qing watched it with her daughter in her arms.

Hearing the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, the little girl was a little scared at first, but when she saw the sky full of beautiful fireworks, she soon was no longer afraid.

Feng Nuanyou even raised her little hands to catch those beautiful fireworks.

Of course, because of the little girl Feng Nuanyu, she received the most New Year's money.

Almost all the elders gave the little girl a generous amount of New Year's money.

Although she didn't understand, the little girl knew to hold the thick red envelope in her arms when she saw it.

That little look made everyone laugh non-stop.

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year.

Feng Zhengming looked at the sky full of fireworks and at his family around him.

He was also a little dazed. He welcomed the new year in this way and stepped into the year 2000 with his family.

After the lively New Year's Eve dinner, Feng Zhengming and his wife took their daughter back home at night. Their daughter had fallen asleep, but Feng Zhengming and his wife were not sleepy yet.

The young couple simply sat opposite each other at the dining table in the living room.

This might be the first time that the two of them sat facing each other like this after they bought the house and got married.

They first sat down and looked at each other without saying anything.

Then they all laughed almost at the same time.

Luo Qing laughed and said, "Look at you, you're just sitting there like that, silly? Don't you want to say something?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "What do you want to say?"

Luo Qing: "You are just like that. You have a lot to say to others, but nothing to say to me."

Feng Zhengming: “Is there?”

Luo Qing: "Of course, when we were in love, I was the one who took the initiative."

Feng Zhengming: "It seems so. I didn't expect you to be so proactive at that time."

Luo Qing pouted: "If I don't take the initiative, will you not take the initiative?"

Feng Zhengming smiled: "It seems to be true. At least at that time I would not take the initiative, because I didn't have a job at that time. I was helping out in the kitchen of the cafeteria of my senior brother."

Luo Qing: "I knew it."

Feng Zhengming couldn't help but ask: "Why did you take the initiative?"

A smug look appeared on Luo Qing's face.

"Because I know you won't take the initiative. If I do, you won't be able to run away."

Feng Zhengming was a little amused and helpless.

"Are you that confident? If you take the initiative, I can't run away?"

Luo Qing was very confident: "Yes, I know you must have felt a little inferior at the time, so you were too embarrassed to reject me, and you were also too embarrassed to confess to others."

Feng Zhengming expressed deep sorrow and anguish: "Really, you really saw through me at that time."

Seeing Feng Zhengming's expression, Luo Qing couldn't help laughing.

"Stop pretending. I know you were focused on your career. You were selling lunch boxes at the train station, so I knew you didn't want to keep selling lunch boxes. You must want to make money as quickly as possible so you can open your own store in the future."

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Yes, I just wanted to work hard to make money and open my own store as soon as possible."

Luo Qing sighed: "I never thought that you would be able to make such a big business, and you would even become the top scholar in the country."

Feng Zhengming smiled: "I haven't even thought about it myself."

Luo Qing smiled and said, "So I was right about one thing. You are a very ambitious and potential stock."

Feng Zhengming clapped his hands: "I didn't expect my wife to have such good taste."

The young couple sat opposite each other and talked about their experiences together over the years.

Several years have passed in a flash.

Now they are husband and wife and have a lovely daughter.

Looking back on my experiences over the years, everything seems a little unbelievable.

But for Feng Zhengming, he has already experienced the most incredible thing.

Therefore, everything that happened now was not surprising to him.

He will also cherish everything he has already obtained.

As they chatted, the couple slowly got closer.

Feng Zhengming finally stood up, picked up Luo Qing, and walked into the bedroom together.

That night, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing seemed to have returned to their youthful days of love.

It's like being in love.

And my daughter was very well-behaved and didn’t even wake up in the middle of the night.

I slept till early morning.

Feng Zhengming was awakened by the noise of his daughter getting up.

He opened his eyes and saw his wife in his arms.

He bent down and kissed his wife.

Then Feng Zhengming quickly got up and cleaned up his daughter.

My daughter didn't wake up in the middle of the night, but that doesn't mean nothing happened to her that night.

I carefully changed my daughter's diaper and wiped her thoroughly.

Finally, she changed her daughter into a new set of softer clothes.

"Hahaha, today is New Year's Day, so our Youyou has to wear new clothes too."

I wonder if you understand what your father said?

Or see yourself wearing new clothes?

Feng Nuanyu was very happy and waved her two little hands.

Luo Qing had also woken up and was lying on the bed looking at the father and daughter.

"Look how happy you two are, father and daughter?"

Feng Zhengming carried his daughter to his wife on the bed.

"Youyou told mom, are you happy?"

The little girl reached out and gently patted her mother.

At the same time, laugh happily.

Luo Qing stood up and gently bit her daughter's hand.

"Well, if I let you hit me, I'll bite your little hand."

This scared the little girl, and she quickly pulled her hand back and snuggled into her father's arms.

But in fact, the little girl also knew that her mother was playing a joke on her, so she hid in her father's arms and poked her little head out to smile at her mother.

Seeing this, Luo Qing also started laughing.

"This little girl is too smart. It's getting harder and harder to deceive her."

Feng Zhengming was very happy with his daughter's performance.

"It's better to be smart. You have to be as smart as your mother, so you won't suffer in the future."

Luo Qing looked at her husband with a smile.

"With a capable father like you, she will definitely not suffer any loss."

Feng Zhengming smiled: "That's right, no one can bully my daughter."

The family of three played together for a while on the bed in the morning.

Only then did everyone get up one after another.

The little girl, already dressed, was lying on the bed, watching her father and mother put on new clothes.

The little girl was like a little consultant, helping her parents decide what clothes to wear on New Year's Day.

If the little girl feels something is not good, she will babble and wave her little hands.

It's as if he was asking mom and dad to change it.

Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing took the opportunity to tease their daughter and deliberately showed her some ugly clothes.

The little girl really seemed to be born with the ability to appreciate beauty.

I can always tell whether the clothes my parents wear are nice-looking or not.

Finally, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing changed their outfits to one that would satisfy their daughter.

The family of three walked out of the house together.

On the first day of the New Year, I still have to rush to my grandfather's house.

Grandpa and Grandpa Situ were waiting at home.

Even my second aunt and third aunt came early and helped to wrap the dumplings in the morning.

After Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing brought the children over, Second Aunt and Third Aunt immediately went to cook the dumplings.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, at my grandfather's house, the whole family sat together eating hot dumplings.

Looking at this happy family scene, the two grandfathers' faces were filled with smiles.

Naturally, the whole family was very happy.

While eating dumplings, Feng Zhengming had already started discussing with his younger brother and sister where to go next. (End of this chapter)
