Chapter 912: Bo Bo is being coveted
When Shen Yiling heard Ning Yu's words, she immediately turned her gaze away from the meat in the wok and turned to look at the fruits in front of her. Since Daddy Ning told her that they did not need to eat meat then she was not going to eat it, when the eldest turned her gaze away, the younger ones followed suit, they also whipped their heads from the kitchen to the fruits which were placed in front of them and made it look like they were not too eager to eat meat.
Even though their appetite was hooked, they did not dare to go against their father's words. Seeing the children acting so obedient, Yu Dong was amused and sympathetic towards them, clearly they wanted to eat meat but because of Ning Yu's words they refused to do so.
" There is no need for father-in-law to worry about something so small," Yu Dong placed the stir-fried vegetables in a bowl and then turned to wash her hands. " Tonight is New Year's Eve, no one is allowed to leave meat behind everyone has to eat until they can no longer eat."
With that, she turned to place the dishes on the table which was sitting next to a room heater. When the children heard Yu Dong's words, they all turned to look at Ning Yu, what can Ning Yu say at this point? He could only nod his head and allowed his children to eat the meat.
Shen Yiling and the rest cheered along with Yu Mai as they rushed to take a seat on the dining table behind them Ning Yu and Shi Xi looked at their smiles and couldn't help but tear up a little.
It was only a bowl of meat but it was enough to make their children happy like this. As they looked at the chortling children, Ning Yu and Shi Xi were incredibly touched but at the same time, they were worried.
Shen Li was sitting on the couch which was closest to his father and thus he was able to sense the sudden change in his father's mood at once which was why he immediately asked Ning Yu what was the matter.
"It's nothing, I am just worried about your mother and sister," Ning Yu wanted to hide his worries from Shen Li but he knew that he will not be able to hide it which was why he replied honestly causing Shen Li's brows to furrow. " We left them behind without telling them where we were going, I am afraid that once they find out that we are here, our presence here will bring trouble to you and daughter in law."
Shen Li also thought the same but he still did not worry about it too much. He turned to look at his father and then said in a soft voice, " Father you don't have to worry too much, we will cross the bridge when it's time. You don't need to overthink the situation like this."
With Yu Dong agreeing to let Ning Yu and the children stay, Shen Li already knew that his wife had a plan which was why he was not afraid that she was going to be at a disadvantage.
When Ning Yu heard Shen Li's words, he wanted to say that he did not want to worry but his wife was indeed a worrisome individual but then he remembered that his son was pregnant and could not take too much stress which was why he immediately shut his mouth and then went to eat with the rest of the family.
Just like always, Chen Mi's cooking and the ingredients provided by Yu Dong won the hearts of the family members even Ning Yu could not help but eat two bowls of rice as he took a bite of the cabbage which was soaked in spiritual water and then cooked together with tofu.
Vegetables alone were good to eat much less meat which was cleaned and cooked in water which was infused with Yu Dong's spiritual power.
As Grandma Yu ate the braised pork, she couldn't help but sigh.
" This is excellent! I feel like I am turning ten years younger just by eating!" Though Grandma Yu was only joking, the truth was that she was indeed looking ten years nowadays, with Yu Dong and her husbands' care, Grandma Yu had not only lost a lot of weight but even her hunchback was no longer the same.
She could now stand up straight and look others in the eye without any trouble.
" You are right about that," Grandma Chen agreed as she munched on the braised pig trotters. " Look at my skin, it's gotten so ruddy and healthy. Sure enough, the old ones were wise, those who enjoy the care and filial piety of their younger ones live a long life."
Her words caused a round of laughter around the table, while Yu Dong smiled softly at the two elders of her family.
Seeing her stay quiet, Shen Li couldn't help but ask, " What is the matter, Dong Dong?"
"It's nothing, I am just worried about the rice that we have harvested," Yu Dong had harvested eleven stones of rice which was a great thing for their village but because of the snow, she couldn't go to the town and sell the rice which she had harvested. Even though she had money, it did not mean that she did not need to earn any more, more importantly, now that her family had so many people, she needed to rebuild her house again.
" There is no need for you to be in such a hurry," said Chen Mi while chewing his pig totter. " We can sell the grains after the snow has melted."
He thought that Yu Dong will agree with him but to his surprise, his wife shook her head and then said, " Then the novelty will be gone, Mi. We need to not only sell the rice at half price unlike the other unscrupulous owners but also the vegetables that Chi had grown. Have you forgotten? Our backyard is full of lush vegetables."
