Chapter 692: My Sister
That evening, Shen Yingying's house was brightly lit. Guangrong was watching TV in the living room, while the couple was in the kitchen making dinner.
He Bin wore an apron, putting pieces of hairtail wrapped in even batter into the frying pan one by one. The aroma instantly surged and wafted out.
Shen Yingying was cutting "roast goose" on the side. The roast goose skin was crispy, and the fat under the skin had been roasted down to just a thin layer, adding fragrance without being greasy—just right.
"How is it? My skills haven't regressed, have they?" He Bin asked proudly after taking a look.
Shen Yingying smiled. "The skills haven't regressed, but A-Ci won't let us do this anymore. From now on, only the family will have the good fortune to eat this."
As she spoke, she turned to get the chilled plum sauce from the refrigerator, having to walk over ten steps from the workstation to the refrigerator.
"I still haven't gotten used to how big this kitchen is. Back in Shengang, I didn't have to move a step to get anything; I could just turn my head or squat down to get it."
He Bin couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. "Where could the kitchen at home fit both of us working together? I couldn't even stretch out when I was in there alone. A big kitchen is more comfortable; we can cook together, how great is that!"
And it wasn't just the kitchen that was big; every part of this house was big. At first, the couple felt empty living there, and it wasn't until Guangrong came back that they felt a bit better.
At this moment, the sound of a lock being opened came from the living room doorbell. Hearing the noise, Guangrong hurriedly stood up to greet them.
The door was unlocked and opened, and Shen Li walked in carrying a whole large durian.
"Sister!"
Guangrong hurriedly reached out to take it. "Why did you buy a durian?"
"Your aunt bought it." Shen Li said as she changed her shoes, and smelling the aroma of cooking, she headed straight for the kitchen. "Auntie, Uncle, what delicious food are you making?"
"A-Li is here." Shen Yingying washed her hands and casually picked up a piece of roast goose and stuffed it into Shen Li's mouth. "The 'roast goose' your uncle worked on all day."
Shen Li took a bite, and the crispy skin burst with fat in her mouth, combined with the goose meat, it made her dizzy with delight.
"Uncle, your skills could totally be declared a heritage." Shen Li gave a thumbs up in praise.
"What? It's still not as good as the oven and hanging stove." He Bin said.
"What? You still want to build a hanging stove in the kitchen?" Shen Yingying glared at him, then turned to happily greet A-Li to go out and wait. "Your uncle is frying hairtail. You go sit in the living room, otherwise, the smell will stick to you and it won't be pleasant."
Guangrong walked in carrying the durian. "Mom, today is all about strong smells. My sister even brought a durian; I want to open it."
Who understands the joy of opening a durian by hand?
Guangrong couldn't wait to take the durian out, open the packaging boxes one by one, and spread them out. Then he used both hands to pry at the opening at the top of the durian, baring his teeth and exerting force.
"Oh, this stinks." He Bin didn't eat durian, and he couldn't help but frown when he smelled the odor.
"Such a big piece!" Guangrong looked at the fruit meat he had opened and excitedly held it up for his father to see. "Dad, look, how big!"
"Take it away, it stinks!" He Bin pushed his son away in disgust.
Guangrong laughed happily, opened the rest, and then wrapped them up and put them in the freezer.
The texture of durian after freezing was like ice cream, which was especially delicious. This was a way of eating he had learned from the internet.
Afterward, He Bin stir-fried a few more dishes and specifically made the "steamed egg" that Shen Li loved. Only then did the family sit at the dining table to prepare for dinner.
"A-Li, your mom hasn't gotten off work yet?" Shen Yingying looked at Shen Li and asked.
Shen Li shook her head. "No, it's just me at home today, so I came over. Mom is quite busy after the fifteenth; the branch has opened, and she won't be home until after nine every day."
"Wife, why don't you go see sister? See if you can help with anything?"
Shen Yingying thought about it while holding her bowl, and then nodded.
Anyway, she didn't know what to do for the moment, and going to help her sister with chores was better than staying at home.
She looked at He Bin and asked: "Xingxing's e-sports base is almost finished being decorated, right?"
"Still a bit left, it's all finishing work."
"Then when you finish helping Xingxing, see what you can do in Longcheng."
He Bin looked at his wife, and heard her continue: "Doesn't the family still have some savings? Use that money to start a business."
"Do what? I don't have a clue."
"Think about it slowly. When you have an idea, just go do it."
He Bin also knew he couldn't just stay idle like this. He could help Xingxing decorate the base now, but when it ended, it meant he had to find something else to do.
"How about I ask A-Ci later? Let her give me some ideas. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to do business myself; I've only run a 'roast meat shop' my whole life."
Shen Yingying didn't object to this, because A-Ci was now the backbone of the whole family, and listening to her was definitely right.
"Auntie, Uncle, you two don't need to put so much pressure on yourselves, tightening yourselves so much." Shen Li couldn't help but speak up after hearing their conversation. "Auntie just finished surgery and is still in the recovery period; your health is still the most important thing."
"Uncle, you're the same. If there's business to do, do it; if not, take it slow. Don't force yourself to do it; that might not have a good result."
"Your uncle and I aren't the type who can stay idle."
"I didn't tell you to stay idle. You can find other things to do." Shen Li blinked and looked at the two of them. "Longcheng is so big; you haven't really walked around since you came, have you?"
Shen Yingying and He Bin couldn't help but look at each other.
That was true; they hadn't been anywhere.
"Relax, don't be in such a hurry for everything, and there's nothing that urgently needs you two to do." Shen Li looked at Guangrong as she spoke and suddenly said: "I came today to let you know that I plan to take Guangrong abroad next month."
Shen Yingying and He Bin were startled upon hearing this.
Guangrong, however, grinned excitedly. "Going abroad, sister? Where are you taking me?"
"It's your sister's idea." Shen Li said: "My next play happens to have two months of location shooting abroad. Sister told me to take you so you can see things around, broaden your horizons and knowledge. She said this is very important, and I think sister is right, so I agreed."
Guangrong nodded excitedly: "I also think sister is right."
Brother Xingxing going abroad to watch the "Gods Alliance" global finals hadn't made him envious to death.
"A-Li, you're going out to work. Isn't taking Guangrong going to cause trouble for you?" Shen Yingying was a bit worried. She naturally trusted A-Li, but for her own son, she really felt uneasy.
The problem was that Guangrong had never been abroad either.
He Bin, however, felt it was a rare opportunity. "I actually think it's okay to let Guangrong go. We can't take him abroad to broaden his horizons, and it's very good that A-Li can take him to see the outside world!" ===== CHAPTER 693 =====
