Just then, they heard He Hongyang calling them to eat.
When the two arrived at He Hongyang's house, they were immediately shocked by the furnishings inside.
Sewing machine, radio, clock, wardrobe, table, chair.
They had seen everything they had never seen before in his house.
With a sewing machine, they can make their own clothes.
With a radio, they could listen to pleasant sounds coming from it.
He Hongyang and his sister shared three rooms.
No wonder their family, with so many people, doesn't feel crowded at all.
Wang Lili couldn't resist touching the radio.
"Like it?"
Hearing He Hongyang's question, she bit her lip and nodded: "I've never seen one before. Our village only has one loudspeaker, and even the village chief's house doesn't have a radio."
"After you finish eating, go back to your room and listen to as much as you want."
"really?"
Wang Lili's mouth dropped open in surprise: "You mean I can listen to the radio?"
"My brother has another one. You can listen to it if you like."
"But I heard that radios need batteries, and batteries are very expensive, so most people can't afford to listen to them."
“If you buy a radio, it’s meant to be listened to. If you couldn’t afford to listen to it, your brother-in-law wouldn’t have bought it in the first place.”
What he said is so true.
Wang Lili wished she could sit on the radio and listen to it to her heart's content right now.
But she knew she couldn't be too unruly, so she quickly helped set the table.
When they saw the steamed buns and vegetables on the table...
I couldn't resist and was drawn in again.
Glistening roast chicken, sizzling roast duck, and delicious steamed buns.
It was as if everyone was beckoning to her.
"Come on, come and eat me!"
She was afraid of embarrassing herself in front of He Hongyang, and even more afraid that she would lose control.
He kept pinching the web between his thumb and index finger.
She silently told herself, "This is my brother-in-law's house. I can't be so spineless. I have to hold back."
He Hongyang smiled inwardly when he heard her muttering to herself.
The two sisters probably didn't eat anything on the train.
Although he sent them a lot of money and food coupons.
But they are women who live their lives.
I don't want to spend it all at once.
Tear off a chicken leg for each of them.
"Eat."
The two men were holding chicken legs, unsure where to start eating.
They wished they could open their mouths wide and swallow it whole.
Seeing that they didn't move, He Hongyang opened two bottles of soda.
"We're home now. Don't be shy, eat as much as you want. All of this is for you."
He then started eating.
Seeing him eat, the two of them couldn't resist any longer.
Take a bite of the chicken leg.
Once the meat was in their mouths, they beamed with joy.
Only after they had swallowed the whole chicken leg did they feel that they finally had food in their stomachs.
He Hongyang picked up a piece of duck meat, dipped it in the sauce, added some shredded green onions, and rolled it up in a small pancake.
"Eat it like this, you guys have a taste."
The two of them followed his example and began to eat roast duck.
One bite at a time, mouth full of oil.
Why does this roast duck taste so tender and juicy?
The skin is incredibly thin, the meat is incredibly tender, and when paired with small pancakes and dipping sauce, they practically devour the entire plate like a tornado.
"After eating the meat, have a sip of soda."
He followed He Hongyang's example and took a big gulp.
The soda went into my mouth.
It felt like bubbles were coming out of my mouth.
It's so cool.
After drinking the soda, my whole body felt incredibly refreshed.
He Hongyang then handed each of them a meat bun.
"This one is pork and scallion, you should all try it."
They were simply overwhelmed.
First chicken legs, then roast duck, and now steamed buns.
The two hurriedly took the buns and began to eat them heartily.
He Hongyang knew that although they were girls, they were at the age when they were growing.
He just gave them one thing to eat.
They must have seen that he was too shy to be around.
After taking a few bites, he said, "I'm going to another room to read the newspaper. You guys take your time eating. I have a task for you today: you must finish everything on the table."
Seeing him get up, the two people quickly stood up as well: "Brother-in-law, are you full? You're full after eating so little?"
"I'm full. I ate a lot this morning, so I can't eat much at noon. You all must finish all of this. We'll cook something new for dinner."
I saw him go to another room.
The two of them completely let loose and started using both hands simultaneously.
She was no longer as shy as before.
He held a roast chicken in his left hand and a steamed bun in his right.
First, he took a bite of roast chicken, then a bite of steamed bun, and then he freed his hand to drink some soda.
I quickly rolled myself a small pancake.
They ate with their mouths dripping with oil.
Only after finishing the roast chicken, the roast duck, and the soda did he finally lean back in his chair, completely satisfied.
"I'm finally full. This is the most I've ever eaten in my life. I never knew I could eat so much."
"This should be the best meal ever. We've never eaten roast chicken or roast duck before, and we've never eaten meat buns with such juicy fillings before."
The table was almost empty, with only two meat buns left.
The two of them immediately tensed up.
"Do you think my brother-in-law has finished eating? What if he thought we ate too messily, so he went to another room? There are only two buns left. Will he laugh at us?"
"No, he left just now to save face for us. We felt embarrassed to eat if we knew he was here."
"But there's a table full of food, and only two steamed buns are left. Aren't we eating too much?"
"If I had known this would happen, I should have eaten something to fill my stomach while on the train."
"Even if I eat on the train, seeing so much delicious food, I can't resist. If I had another roast chicken, I think I could still eat it all."
"Don't let your brother-in-law hear us. We're here to visit relatives, not to eat. If he hears us, he'll think we're bottomless pits and can never get enough to eat."
"Haha, my stomach is so full now."
The two of them happily began to clear the dishes.
When they arrived at the small kitchen, they realized it was the He family's kitchen and saw that it was neat and tidy.
Not only was it exceptionally clean, but there was also plenty of food.
Not only is there a wide variety of food, but there's also plenty of oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
I heard that my brother-in-law's younger brother is a chef.
I don't know what he looks like.
Is he as handsome and dashing as my brother-in-law?
I wonder how his cooking tastes, and whether it's as delicious as the roast chicken and roast duck they just ate?
Thinking this, Wang Lili couldn't help but chuckle: "I'm almost turning into a glutton, all I can think about is food. It seems that my sister-in-law's cooking has really whetted my appetite."
"Come on, it's clearly your own craving that's causing this, but you're blaming your brother-in-law. I don't think you should have eaten tonight."
“Who said I can’t eat? My brother-in-law said he’ll cook a new dish tonight.”
The two chatted and laughed inside, then tidied up the small kitchen and returned to the house.
They took out the gifts they brought from their bags.
These are two pairs of shoes, specially made for He Hongyang.
They wrote to her mother to ask about her shoe size.
To meet the deadline, the two of them stayed up day and night for several nights in a row before they finally made these two pairs of shoes.
They knew that the cadres in the city all wore leather shoes, and they were afraid that these two pairs of shoes would not be presentable, so they made the soles particularly thick, with every stitch made by their own hands.
Although the two girls are young, Zhao Ailing has not been home for many years.
They do all the housework.
They made everything themselves, from clothes to shoes.
"Brother-in-law, come out for a moment, we have something for you."
After seeing He Hongyang come out, the two of them awkwardly each carried a pair of shoes.
"These are cloth shoes we made ourselves. Although they are not as shiny as leather shoes, they are still a token of our appreciation."
He Hongyang was surprised that they were so young and knew how to make shoes.
These two pairs of shoes are particularly beautiful.
There were two pairs of insoles inside the shoes.
The words "Peace" and "Happiness" are written on one side of the sign.
There are many flowers embroidered on the side.
The two pairs of insoles represent their heartfelt wishes for their brother-in-law's safety and happiness.
This was also He Hongyang's own wish.
I never expected my two sisters-in-law to understand me so well.
He Hongyang gladly accepted: "Your craftsmanship is excellent, even better than the leather shoes I bought in the store."
How can cloth shoes be better than leather shoes?
Knowing that she was trying to comfort them, Wang Lili immediately squatted down: "Why don't you try them on and see if they fit?"
