Chapter 15 Anxious Mother
Before six o'clock in the afternoon, the seemingly quiet community began to become lively with the return of people who got off work one after another.For the Xu family, Xu Haibao's mother is always the first to go home every day.

Like other housewives, Xu Haibao's mother, who works in a textile factory, usually takes care of the family's daily life in addition to going to work.And she got off work half an hour earlier than Dad Xu.

As soon as he took out the key and opened the door, Xu Haibao's mother, Zhu Fen, smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.Seeing Xu Haibao who walked out of the kitchen, Zhu Fen was stunned but smiled and said, "Baby baby, when did you come back? How did you cook?"

"Mom, you're back! Arrived at one o'clock, stayed at a friend's place for a while, and just came home not long ago. Where's Dad?"

"He should be waiting for a while! What kind of food? It's so delicious?"

"Sweet it! Hehe, this is a special product your son brought back from the village. It's a good thing, it's rare! I believe you and Dad haven't eaten that thing for several years. Tonight, you must have more Eat some!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fen thought for a while and said, "You boy, you won't get another big yellow croaker, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Haibao also said speechlessly: "Mom, your ambition is too great, and my son really can't satisfy your wish for a while. Of the four large yellow croakers that I fought with my third uncle yesterday, I sold all of them.

If mother really wants to eat big yellow croaker, my son will work hard in the future and try to catch some more.At that time, let's eat one and throw one away, and feed the extra one to the stray cats downstairs, what do you think? "

"You are so old, yet so out of shape. Let's go, let's see what good things you brought back!"

When the mother and son walked into the kitchen and looked at the steamer on the stove, Zhu Fen was also very surprised and said, "Grouper? Lobster, did you catch this in your hometown?"

"Well! How is it? My son's technique is not bad! I forgot to tell you, actually this time in the village, I caught a total of eight large groupers at the Echo Rock, and I sold the six big ones to Donghua Restaurant for a profit. 1 yuan.

I steamed one of the remaining two weighing more than two catties, and kept the other in a foam box.However, it probably won't last long.When I called Xiaoya earlier, the girl made a reservation directly, saying that she would wait for her to come back to eat! "

Zhu Fen knew more or less about third uncle Xu Licheng talking on the phone with Xu Haibao's father Xu Liyan yesterday to share the money.In Zhu Fen's opinion, there is no need to rush to find a job for his son who just got out of the army, and it would be better to let him rest for a while.

If you really want to find a job, it’s not too late to wait until the Chinese New Year is over.But no one thought that Xu Haibao earned 6 yuan just by returning to his hometown for a while.This speed of making money was really beyond her and Xu Liyan's expectations.

"Echo Rock, is there another stone spot down there?"

"Well! When Lang was young during the day, I took a look below and found that there were a lot of big groupers hiding there. Although I wanted to leave a big grouper to honor you and Dad, but our steamer is limited, I'm afraid It can't be installed at all.

In the end, I kept these two small ones unsold, and steamed the lobster I caught on Shrimp Island.Tonight, our family of three will also have a good time and taste the taste of this big grouper and big lobster. "

Hearing Xu Haibao's words, Zhu Fen also agreed: "It's really luxurious! This kind of wild big grouper, if you go to a hotel to eat, it costs at least 500 yuan a piece. This lobster is probably not cheap!"

"Mom, these are the fruits of your son's labor. Isn't it right to honor your parents?"

While the mother and son were chatting, Xu's father, Xu Liyan, who also got off work on time, also pushed the door open.Looking at the mother and son who were staying in the kitchen, Xu Liyan was stunned for a while, but said calmly, "Bao Wa, you're back!"

"Dad, it's just in time for you to come back. Hurry up and wash your hands, we are going to have dinner, and we will have a big meal tonight!"

Xu Liyan was also a little puzzled by what Xu Haibao said.After Zhu Fen explained the situation, Xu Liyan frowned slightly and said, "Why eat this? Wouldn't it be better to sell it for money! It's not like I haven't eaten this big grouper before!"

What he didn't expect was that Xu Haibao quickly said: "Dad, you should change your concept. Have you eaten this wild big grouper since you went to work in the city? This fish may not be rich even now. I can eat it!"

"That's right! Your father is like this, and he's almost looking for money. The son worked so hard to bring the fish home to honor his parents. It's good for you, and you complain about his waste. Is there any father like you?"

After taking Xu Haibao's words, Mother Xu also made up for it in a timely manner.Father Xu, who was a little helpless, could only say: "When did I blame him? I just think, is it too extravagant for just the three of us to eat such a meal?"

"Not extravagant! Not extravagant at all! If you sell the fish for money, that's money. If you don't sell it, the fish and shrimp are just the fruits of your son's labor, and they don't cost a dime. How can they be called What about luxury?"

I know that my father often plays the role of strict father in front of his children.But in front of his mother, this father didn't have much say.Properly giving dad a little face is what a son should do!

Xu Haibao, who was born in a fisherman's family, knows that steaming seafood is the most nutritious.And the big grouper and big lobster steamed tonight are also steamed.It's just that fish and lobsters have been raised in Wumingzhu for a few days.

As a result, it is obvious that grouper and lobster, which are delicious in themselves, taste even more delicious after being raised in Wumingzhu.Even Xu Haibao's parents felt that the chopsticks couldn't stop.

Seeing his parents immersed in the delicacy, they seemed a little helpless, Xu Haibao also felt that his hard work was not in vain.And he also believes that in addition to being delicious, this seafood can also play a certain role in strengthening the body.

The longer the sea fish is bred in the nameless pearl, the more it can play a role of food supplement or diet therapy.Although his parents have always been in good health, Xu Haibao also knows that his parents have worked hard all year round, and there are some minor ailments on their bodies.

If it is possible to regulate the body while tasting delicious food, this is undoubtedly a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.At least for a short period of time, Xu Haibao does not intend to sell the fish that have been bred in Wumingzhu easily.

Two catties of wild big grouper, plus one catty of lobster, plus two plates of dried seafood.When the meal was over, the parents didn't eat a bite of the two plates of dried seafood, except for Xu Haibao who picked up a few chopsticks.

Xu's father, who said that he had cooked too much, looked at the two plates with only the shells and fish bones left, and he seemed somewhat unsatisfied.In his opinion, the taste of grouper and lobster really makes people unable to stop their chopsticks after eating it!
"Dad, how is it? This wild grouper tastes good, right?"

"Well, it's really good! It seems that compared with the wild grouper, the farmed grouper is really incomparable!"

Xu Haibao did not refute the judgment made by his father.It's just that he knows in his heart that it is difficult for ordinary wild grouper and lobster to have such quality and taste.

The seafood produced by Wumingzhu Space cannot be described as delicious!

Even Zhu Fen, who usually eats leisurely, sighed: "The taste of this fish and shrimp is really very authentic. The grouper sold in the vegetable market, even if it is alive, is completely incomparable with this!"

"Mom, don't worry! There are a lot of wild groupers under Echo Rock. In the future, if you want to eat it, feel free to eat it with your son. I promise you will eat enough. This time the fish is too small, next time we will steam it Bigger and more enjoyable!"

"Stinky boy, you think this fish is raised by yourself! Big grouper, do you mean that you can catch it by fishing?"

"That depends on who's going to fish! Your son has a good character, so he's lucky. As long as I want to fish, he must bite the hook!"

Zhu Fen also felt dumbfounded about her son's playing tricks.Just taking advantage of the time to digest food, Zhu Fen said at the right time: "Bao Wa, do you still remember that Aunt Sun who I used to work in Hongyan Factory?"

"Remember! Isn't she working in the same company as you now? What's the matter?"

"It's okay! I thought, you are not young anymore. You should have met your Aunt Sun's daughter before. She is two years younger than you. She went to the provincial health school in high school and is now working as a nurse in the city's first hospital.

Some time ago, I went to see it on purpose. That girl is really a girl, I almost didn't dare to recognize it.A few days ago, I chatted with your Auntie Sun, and she had a good impression of you, but you young people have to decide for yourself whether it will work or not.

I was thinking, if you have time, you can meet the girl for tea and have a chat by the way.If you think it's okay, and the girl doesn't object, let's get along for a while, what do you think? "

Facing his mother's blind date again, Xu Haibao resolutely retreated and said: "Mom, I have just passed the legal age of marriage. Are you in a hurry to urge marriage so quickly? What's more, I can't even work now." Not settled yet!
If Aunt Sun's daughter is really as good as you say, do you think people will take a fancy to me?Let's talk about the girlfriend, let's talk about it after my work stabilizes!Now, I really don't think so! "

"She's not a regular worker, and she doesn't get much salary every month, so don't feel any pressure. What's more, it's not that your Auntie Sun doesn't know about our family's situation. She didn't let you get married, but just let you go first. Look around."

When she came back from the army, her mother was very enthusiastic and active, looking for a partner for her.Xu Haibao knew that this was an expression of his mother's concern for his son, but Xu Haibao felt that he would not get married, but would go on a blind date, right?
