Chapter 203 Old Lady Fang's Visit
Grandpa Fang sighed; that was all he could do now.
After returning home, Feng Qingqing was not too affected by the incident and continued packing her luggage.
The mother and her two children are going to the provincial capital this time, and they plan to stay for three to five days before returning.
Although Fang Guangmei's mother-in-law came at this time, she did not intend to let them affect her schedule.
I still plan to take a bus to the provincial capital early tomorrow morning.
We'll discuss everything after she returns.
If the group had returned to Beijing during the few days she was gone, that would have been fine.
If they maintain the same attitude, then let's just wait it out.
As for Fang Guangmei, she smiled to herself, thinking that this person was quite inconsiderate.
So much has happened, yet we still can't see the current situation clearly.
That's so arrogant!
She won't indulge her.
Not wanting these people to affect my mood, I turned around and focused on packing my things.
After lunch, I fed the two children and then coaxed them to take a nap.
Only then did I get back to work.
This time, she went to the provincial capital and planned to bring some homemade food with her.
Over the past few years, He Yong'an has become quite picky about the food she cooks, so he might find it a little difficult to adjust to life over there.
Therefore, she has been preparing some ingredients over the past two days and plans to start cooking this afternoon.
She plans to make two jars of mushroom and minced meat sauce.
She had made this several times when she was in the Lanshan Brigade, and everyone who tried it loved it.
She has been too busy these days to do it.
This time, it was also taken into consideration that He Yong'an would be staying in the dormitory and eating in the canteen, and the diced meat sauce would be easy to carry.
The ingredients needed for mushroom and diced meat sauce are not complicated. In addition to the essential mushrooms and diced meat, you only need some green and red peppers, scallions, ginger and other seasonings.
She used diced cured pork for the meat.
The aroma of cured pork is stronger and the taste is better after it is stir-fried.
After washing and chopping all the mushrooms, diced meat, and other ingredients such as chili peppers, she started stir-frying them in a wok.
To balance taste and nutrition, she added some water during the preparation process.
After this method, the mushroom sauce not only has a rich flavor but also a delicious taste, making it extremely tempting.
It's so delicious you can't stop eating it.
She only plans to make two jars this time, as she doesn't have many ingredients.
Nearly two hours later, the mushroom sauce was ready.
After finishing, she found two leftover fruit jars, washed and dried them, and waited for the mushroom sauce to dry before putting it into the jars.
Then Feng Qingqing started making herbal tea.
This is something that Feng Qingqing has been working on for the past two years.
Because of this, Yong'an often has an irregular schedule, and when he gets busy, his life and work are extremely irregular.
To avoid potential gastrointestinal problems later on, she would occasionally have He Yong'an brew some of her homemade herbal tea.
The medicinal tea ingredients come from the planting area of her space, such as goji berries, dandelion, atractylodes macrocephala, golden hibiscus, and physalis, all of which are produced in her space and have excellent effects.
At first, He Yong'an didn't like this drink, but he grew to like it more and more after drinking it for a while.
Now, I even feel uncomfortable if I don't drink a cup every day.
After drinking it, I felt incredibly energetic every day at work.
Their reaction speed and thinking ability have been greatly improved.
When He Yong'an left last time, he only took a small amount of goods with him because he didn't have much stock at home.
Before Feng Qingqing went there this time, she had prepared a month's worth of treatment for him.
After her two children woke up from their afternoon nap, she dressed them and let them play in the yard.
She continued making the herbal tea.
After preparation, it is individually packaged, making it extremely convenient for He Yong'an to drink.
Around 4 p.m., Feng Qingqing had finished making all the things she would be taking with her when she left for the provincial capital the next morning.
She put some of the heavier items in the storage space, and only packed a small bag when she was out.
The bag doesn't look very big; it only holds some clothes and food for the two babies.
Not long after it was finished, Grandma Fang came over.
Feng Qingqing guessed that the old lady might have come to check on her because she was worried that she might have some opinions or emotions.
But she was overthinking it.
She would never let one person's actions affect others.
She knew very well how the two elderly people had treated her over the years.
As for Fang Guangmei, there are all sorts of birds in a big forest. If the two sides don't get along, then they should just have less contact in the future.
She will not force herself to be with people who disagree with her.
This will tire both of you out and is not conducive to long-term relationships.
Grandma Fang paused, taken aback, when she saw Feng Qingqing's packed luggage in the living room.
Some questions:
"Qingqing, what's wrong?"
Following Old Mrs. Fang's gaze, Feng Qingqing noticed that she was looking at the bundle placed in the living room.
She patted her head and realized that she hadn't told her parents that she was going to the provincial capital.
He explained with a smile:
“Godmother, it’s like this: He Yong’an has been studying at the provincial party school for the past two months. Before he left, he repeatedly told my mother to go to the provincial capital every two or three weeks.”
After she finished speaking, she seemed a little embarrassed, as if the two of them were inseparable.
Grandma Fang smiled knowingly; it's only natural for a young couple to have a good relationship.
But I couldn't help but overthink things.
Although, based on the time He Yong'an left, Feng Qingqing should have been planning to go to the provincial capital in the next two days.
Unfortunately, Fang Guangmei's mother-in-law came this time.
At this time, Feng Qingqing did not interrupt her journey because of their arrival, and still went to the provincial capital on time according to the original plan.
She knew in her heart that Feng Qingqing was also making her stance clear to them.
She would not compromise herself for anyone.
Grandma Fang knew that, given Feng Qingqing's character, although she wouldn't stay because of Fang Guangmei's mother-in-law's arrival, if those people came to their senses, Feng Qingqing would still treat Wu Bixia out of consideration for them.
Both sides are well aware of this.
After figuring it out, the old lady didn't ask any more questions.
He kept telling her to be extra careful on the road.
After all, it's really worrying to see her raising two children alone.
Feng Qingqing knew that the old man was genuinely worried about the child, so she smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, godmother, I've prepared everything. You don't need to worry."
It's not very far from the provincial capital; it only takes a little over three hours by train.
After arriving at the train station, you can take a bus to your destination.
Seeing that it was getting late, Feng Qingqing didn't keep the old lady any longer.
They urged the old lady to hurry back before it got dark.
I promised the old lady that I would bring my two children to visit the Fang family after she returned from the provincial capital.
Grandma Fang then smiled and said goodbye to them before heading back home.
When I got home, I saw the old man sitting on the sofa wearing reading glasses and reading the newspaper.
He sat down on the sofa, lost in thought, and after a long while sighed.
Grandpa Fang, who was reading the newspaper nearby, remained silent after his wife returned.
He shook the newspaper in his hand, without moving his head, and asked in confusion:
"What's wrong? Weren't you going to see Qingqing? Did something happen?"
