Chapter 42 Aphrodisiac Grass
Chapter 42 Aphrodisiac Grass
Zhou Chengjuan wrapped the dumplings, cooked a large plate of them, and handed them to Wang Degang, telling him to take them quickly, as his son and the others should be off work by now.
"Okay, I'll take it right away." Wang Degang said as he took the dumplings and walked towards his son's house.
When he arrived at the door, he pressed the doorbell, and the door was quickly opened, revealing his son Wang Zheng's slightly tired face.
"Dad, what brings you here?"
"What, I can't come?" Wang Degang replied unhappily at first, then carried the plate inside.
"What's wrong? Did you work overtime today or are you too tired? You look exhausted. And why hasn't your wife come yet?"
Wang Zheng rubbed his shoulders and said, "The company is busy with a project recently, and the workload is quite heavy. Amei is still on her way and will arrive later than me."
"Alright, alright, I know you're busy, take care of yourselves. These are dumplings your mom made, so don't order takeout, eat some." Wang Degang placed the plate on the table.
Wang Zheng looked at the large plate full of dumplings and was a little unhappy. "Dad, you don't need to worry about us. Besides, neither of us really likes dumplings."
Upon hearing this, Wang Degang immediately snorted and glared.
"How can you talk like that? The ingredients for these dumplings were carefully prepared by your mother and me. The vegetables and meat are all fresh. They're much better than the takeout you eat, which you don't even know what it's made of."
"Anyway, you have to eat what I've served you today. I'm in a hurry to go back and eat dumplings, so don't waste any. After you finish eating, get some rest."
After Wang Degang finished speaking, he stormed off, leaving Wang Zheng helplessly facepalming as he looked at the dumplings.
Back inside, Wang Degang couldn't help but complain to his wife, "You know, these young people, we're doing this for their own good and they don't even appreciate it."
Zhou Chengjuan remained quite calm. "Well, this is what the video account calls the generation gap. Young people definitely have different ideas from us. Let's ignore them and eat by ourselves. I just tried one and it tasted pretty good. They'll probably complain that it's not enough later."
"Really? Then I'll try it." Wang Degang became interested after hearing this, picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
After taking a bite, he froze, then ate it all. "You're right, I should have given them less, we could have eaten it ourselves."
Wang Zheng, who was being swatted by his parents' crickets, was completely unaware of their thoughts. He was just looking at the dumplings in front of him with some distress.
Soon, another person was troubled. Lin Mei opened the door and walked in, looking equally exhausted. She then saw Wang Zheng sitting there blankly.
"Brother Zheng, what's going on? Hmm, why is there such a big plate of dumplings?"
Wang Zheng said helplessly, "My parents brought it over."
"Oh, but this is too much, and neither of us likes dumplings." Lin Mei didn't know what to do.
"Alright, alright, let me get a bowl and we can share this and eat some of it. We can't waste food." Wang Zheng said, getting up to get two small bowls.
Lin Mei had no choice but to wash her hands and then sit down.
However, her expression changed slightly as soon as she picked up a dumpling. "It's actually chive flavored!"
She doesn't really like eating chives.
Wang Zhengsheng nodded dejectedly. He didn't like eating chives either. He didn't know if it was because his parents ate too much of them, but he had never liked them since he was a child.
But he had no choice but to pick one up and say, "Oh well, I'll just eat something."
Then, with a death-defying spirit, he put it into his mouth, and Lin Mei had no choice but to eat it too.
The two were initially indifferent, but they only became serious after tasting the flavor.
They, who had been lounging around, sat up straight after eating one.
"Amei"
"Brother Zheng"
"These dumplings are delicious!" they exclaimed in unison, and then they started eating faster.
The dumplings on the plate were disappearing rapidly until the two of them could no longer eat and they finally stopped.
Lin Mei rubbed her stomach and leaned back in her chair. "I can't eat anymore, but Mom's chive dumplings were so delicious today! Zheng Ge, why didn't you tell me sooner that Mom is such a good dumpling maker?"
"Hiccup, no, I've been eating my mom's cooking since I was a child, and this is the first time I've ever made something this delicious."
Wang Zheng also found it strange. For the first time, he felt that he smelled of chives all over him and didn't dislike it at all. On the contrary, he was very happy.
"I think it's probably thanks to the chives. Even though I don't usually like chives, I ate this whole thing clean, leaving not a single bit. Zheng-ge, you should ask Mom where they bought the chives tomorrow."
Wang Zheng nodded in agreement, "I'll definitely ask Mom to buy more tomorrow."
Unfortunately, Wang Zheng didn't know that Xia Shiyu wouldn't be coming to the city again for a while, so he could only look forward to the chives for now.
Many other people who bought chives today also enjoyed this delicious chives and even discovered other wonderful uses for them.
"Honey, your chive boxes are really delicious. I feel much better after eating them."
After eating the delicious chive boxes, Wan Junliang felt that all the hardships of his work had been forgotten.
"What's so special about this? My cooking isn't actually as good as my dad's. I just benefited from the chives," Yan Na said with a smile.
"Mom, I want to eat this again tomorrow morning," the daughter said, her mouth full of chive dumplings, her words muffled.
Yan Na pinched her daughter's cheek. "Haha, good, you little glutton. There are also chives. Make some more tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I want to eat, I want to eat."
"Okay, we'll eat tomorrow. Now that you've finished eating, go wash up quickly, you have to go to class tomorrow," Wan Junliang coaxed his daughter.
After Yan Na took her daughter to wash up, Wan Junliang took the child and put her back in her own room.
"Baby, be good today and sleep by yourself, okay?"
"Okay," the little girl replied sleepily.
Wan Junliang returned to his and his wife's bedroom after the child fell asleep.
Yan Na looked at him with some surprise, "Isn't Nannan sleeping with us tonight?"
My daughter is in second grade now and has her own room, but she still sleeps with them occasionally.
Wan Junliang gave a simple, honest smile and lifted the blanket. "I feel pretty good today. I wonder if it's because I ate some chives."
Having said that, Yan Na understood her husband's reaction perfectly, and her face immediately turned bright red. The two of them had been so busy lately that they hadn't had the time or inclination to do this.
"Hehe," Wan Junliang chuckled, took his wife's hand, and the two lay down together.
The next morning, the girl woke up to find that it was her father who was cooking. Curious, she asked, "Dad, why isn't Mom up yet? Is she sleeping in?"
Wan Junliang paused for a moment and said, "Um, Mom is a little tired from work. I'll call her when I'm done cooking."
"Okay, then Daddy, you still have to make me chive pancakes," the girl reminded him.
"Haha, definitely, definitely. Dad will buy more after you finish eating. Chives have many benefits."
