After a chubby wife with a child undergoes a remarkable transformation, her beauty becomes the talk
Chapter 70 Talking to Uncle
These past few days, Shen Lu has been going back and forth between the hospital, home, and the translation institute.
The wound on my waist still requires me to go to the hospital every day to have the dressing changed.
Gu Xiaohua has been taken home, and Gu Youcai has found a reliable old woman to take care of her every day.
That day, Shen Lu was cooking when Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze's voices came from afar.
"Mommy, Mommy! We're back."
The two little ones had gone off to play somewhere, their foreheads covered in sweat.
However, under Shen Lu's influence during this period, the two little ones have become very conscious of hygiene.
The clothes he was wearing were almost the same as when he first went out, except that Xiao Yu's pants were worn out at the knees.
"Mom! We went bird catching today."
As they spoke, the two little ones, as if presenting a treasure, stretched their hands out from behind their backs, each holding a quail.
The quail was still lively, hopping and flapping its wings.
Shen Lu borrowed a cage from Li Mei next door, lined it with some dry grass, found some grains, and stuffed the quail inside.
"Mommy, aren't we going to eat the little bird?"
Xiao Yu opened his big, innocent eyes, looking completely bewildered.
"This is quail. We won't eat it today. We'll eat quail eggs for the next few days, and then we'll make soup with more quail."
Quail eggs?
What does it taste like?
Children are easily distracted; they immediately focused on the quail and began looking forward to eating the quail eggs.
Shen Lu continued cooking; she was preparing to make the cured meat that Li Mei had given her.
Cut the potatoes into chunks and slice a lot of cured pork diagonally, preparing to stew a pot of potatoes and cured pork.
A lot of salt is added when the cured pork is smoked, so only a little seasoning is needed to enhance the flavor.
The two little ones had long since given up on the quail and were now standing at the door watching Shen Lu cook. Quail could never compare to the aroma of their mother's cooking.
Simmering over low heat for a long time, the potatoes were cooked until soft and flavorful, turning into mashed potatoes that crunchily coated the cured meat.
It's finally done!
A large pot of stewed cured pork was placed on the table.
"Wow, it smells so good, Mom!"
The twins helped get the bowls and chopsticks, and Shen Lu served the rice.
Xiao Yu took a bite of the cured meat, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"This is so delicious!"
Xiaoze buried his head in his food, scooping out a lot of mashed potatoes to mix with his rice.
I didn't even notice the fragrant mashed potatoes sticking to the tip of my nose.
Seeing the two little ones huffing and puffing, Shen Lu smiled as she picked rice grains from Xiao Yu's plate and served vegetables to Xiao Ze.
"Eat more if you like. Your uncle gave me a lot of meat slices, and Mom will also smoke some cured meat for you."
The two little ones focused their attention on the first half of Shen Lu's sentence.
"Who is my uncle? We've never seen him before!"
Xiao Yu asked, and Xiao Ze's eyes were also full of curiosity.
It's perfectly normal that the two little ones didn't know any of Shen Lu's relatives from birth, and didn't recognize their uncle.
"My uncle is my mother's older brother. He works in another city, and we are as close as Xiaoyu and Xiaoze."
"Has Mom not seen Uncle for a long time?"
Shen Lu remained silent, her thoughts drifting far away.
Her memories of her brother were hazy. The original owner of this body and Shen Chi were much older, and he rarely came home, so she didn't have many memories of him.
Shen Lu nodded silently, trying her best not to show her sadness in front of the children.
The two little ones noticed that something was wrong with Shen Lu, so they dropped their bowls and chopsticks and ran over, standing on either side of her.
Xiao Yu asked softly, "Mom, do you miss Uncle? My brother and I will go with you to find Uncle."
Children's world is simple: if they miss someone, they go to find them!
Adults, however, always worry about too many things.
Shen Lu shook her head: "Your uncle is very busy. He said he would contact us in a while."
"How long will you be gone in a while?"
Shen Lu looked into the distance.
"Mom doesn't know either."
She didn't know what kind of work Shen Chi did, or how long it would take him to finish, so she couldn't give the two little ones a definite answer.
"Can we call our uncle?"
Xiao Yu suggested that he had never spoken to his uncle before!
Shen Lu thought for a moment. She had never taken the two little ones out to the street before, so she decided to see what they wanted.
"Okay, let's go to town together the day after tomorrow."
After lunch, Shen Lu brought a bag of brown sugar, a piece of cured meat, and a can of food to Zhao Jingxue to thank her for helping Gu Xiaohua give birth a few days ago.
"Sister Xiaolu, you're too kind. I can't accept these things; you have two children at home."
"Take it. It's normal for good friends to share. I'm not thanking you specifically because of what happened before."
Hearing her say that, Zhao Jingxue couldn't refuse and accepted it.
These things are precious. Even if there are many, Shen Lu's family has many mouths to feed and they don't have to worry about food. Taking so much for herself is too much.
Zhao Jingxue felt a warmth in her heart.
Shen Lu casually asked her if she was free the day after tomorrow, and wanted to invite her to go out together.
After all, it's really inconvenient for her to be alone with two children.
"I'm fine, I happen to have time off the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, then it's settled."
The next day, the two met in front of the family compound.
When Shen Lu arrived with her two children, Zhao Jingxue was chatting with others.
The two little ones looked up with identical little faces and greeted everyone in their babyish voices.
"Hello, Grandpa Liu."
"Hello, Aunt Zhao."
"Oh, okay, okay, you must be Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze."
"Yes, I am Xiaoyu, and this is my older brother Xiaoze."
The two little ones greeted Uncle Liu politely.
After learning that they were going to the post office to call their uncle today, the two little ones took it very seriously and even took out their best clothes to wear.
Shen Lu laughed and said that her uncle couldn't see on the other end of the phone, and the two children wouldn't listen either.
Grandpa Liu nodded kindly, a hint of regret in his eyes as he glanced at Xiao Ze. He had heard from the people in the compound that the child was mute.
That's exactly what I saw today.
"It's getting late, let's hurry up and get going."
Seeing the way Grandpa Liu was scrutinizing her, Shen Lu knew he meant no harm, so she didn't say anything.
Xiaoze is just sensitive, and Shen Lu doesn't want him to overthink it.
There were quite a few people on the bus today. Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze usually wander around with Er Niu, so many people know the twins.
The group enthusiastically teased the two little ones. Xiao Ze kept his mouth shut and sat quietly to one side, while Xiao Yu, like a little sun, made everyone in the car burst into laughter.
Shen Lu chatted with them from the side, carefully observing Xiao Ze and worrying that he might feel wronged.
However, the child was introverted and didn't like chatting with others. He looked at the scenery outside with a look of enjoyment, which put Shen Lu at ease.
Although the task of getting Xiaoze to speak is arduous and long-term, she will always stay by his side and help him overcome difficulties.
Shen Lu squeezed Xiao Ze's hand, and the little guy turned around, looking confused.
"Mom will always be by your side."
Ozawa flashed a big smile.
