I'm back in 1990

Chapter 709: The Recipes You Left Behind

Although the scenery was beautiful, he could no longer find any of the memories of his childhood. Yu Wei had no choice but to leave the park dejectedly, having no interest in it whatsoever.

As he left, he didn't forget to pull Huang Xiaochuan back, saying, "I'm not watching anymore, I'm leaving!"

Huang Xiaochuan asked in surprise, "Not watching anymore?"

"What's so interesting about the park? I didn't come here to see the park. Let's go to my second sister's house, have dinner, and go back early." Yu Wei got into the car first.

"Hello, Uncle! Hello, Uncle!" Yue Xiaoyong, who was at home during summer vacation, greeted Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei warmly.

"Xiaoyong, why didn't you go to Shanghai for summer vacation?" Huang Xiaochuan asked with a smile, patting Yue Xiaoyong's head.

Before Yue Xiaoyong could answer, Yu Min handed Huang Xiaochuan slippers while saying, "Don't even mention it. You did terribly on your final exams, and you still want to play? No way!"

"Oh!" Huang Xiaochuan nodded, no longer continuing the topic.

After all, Yu Min is also an educator. Her son actually ranked last in the final exam, which made her very embarrassed. Naturally, she wanted to give her son extra lessons during the summer vacation.

While changing his shoes, Yu Wei asked, "Where's my second brother-in-law?"

Yu Min gestured towards the kitchen with her lip, "I'm busy in the kitchen!"

The two then greeted Yue Zhiyuan, who had transformed into a chef in the kitchen.

At this moment, Gao Song and two other people carried several cases of water to the door and placed them there. Huang Xiaochuan said to them, "Find a place to eat by yourselves at the door for lunch. I'll call you when I leave."

"Okay!" Gao Song agreed and left with his men.

Huang Xiaochuan pointed to the several boxes of water at the door and said to Yu Min, "I bought these when I passed by the service area. I brought them for you to try. They're Yangshan water." "They're quite famous."

"We're all family, why be so polite?" Yu Min said reproachfully.

Despite her words, she didn't stop making tea.

After brewing the tea, he handed it to Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei respectively, saying to Huang Xiaochuan, "My family doesn't have any good tea, brother-in-law, please make do with this!"

Huang Xiaochuan picked up the teacup, smelled it, and smiled, "This is just right!"

At this point, Yu Min frowned and began to berate Yu Wei: "What's wrong with you? You drank so much, and now you're making a scene about coming back in the middle of the night?"

Yu Wei naturally wouldn't tell Yu Min about Huang Guo; it would only cause her more fright and wouldn't do any good, so it was better not to say anything.

He said, "I don't know why, but I keep thinking about things from my childhood these past few days. Last night, after drinking some wine, the thought became even stronger, so I just came here. Anyway, the highway is convenient now, and it only takes a few hours to get here."

Yu Min angrily punched her younger brother: "You! You're such a worry! It's the middle of the night. Luckily you're with your brother-in-law. If you were alone, we would have been worried to death."

Then he asked, "Where did you two go this morning?"

Yu Wei said, "We went to Qingjiang Building and also to Chengnan Lowland. I didn't expect it to be turned into a park now, but we didn't go in."

Yu Min asked doubtfully, "Qingjiang Building? What's so interesting about it? That building is old and dilapidated; I heard it's going to be demolished next year."

Yu Wei nodded and said, "It is indeed very old!"

At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan reminded Yu Min, "Do you remember that year when you were scared by a snake?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Min glared at Yu Wei and said resentfully, "You two were so naughty back then, having nothing better to do than catch a snake to play with. I get annoyed just looking at you two."

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he said, "So that's why you two went to the low-lying area in the south of the city? How did you even come up with that idea?"

At this moment, Yue Zhiyuan, who came out carrying two plates of dishes, interjected, "This is called childhood memories, isn't it interesting?"

"Is the food ready?" Yu Min was very dissatisfied with Yue Zhiyuan's attitude, but in front of Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei, she was too embarrassed to scold Yue Zhiyuan, so she could only urge him to cook the food quickly.

"Almost done, almost done. There's also a braised chicken with edamame in the pot. Just simmer it on low for a little while longer and it'll be ready to serve." Yue Zhiyuan said as he returned to the kitchen.

At this moment, Yu Min said, "Since we're already here, let's go back tomorrow afternoon instead of rushing here and rushing away."

Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand: "No, the incident last night already angered your sister and Tang Yuan. Shouldn't we go back as soon as possible, or are we just asking for trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Min gave up.

Yue Zhiyuan's cooking skills were quite good; the dishes were delicious, especially the last dish of braised chicken with edamame, which Huang Xiaochuan praised highly.

Yue Zhiyuan pointed with his chopsticks at a bowl of garlic lobster on the table: "Brother-in-law, try my garlic lobster and see how it compares to yours. I made it according to your recipe."

Huang Xiaochuan grabbed a few, tasted them, and exclaimed, "Not bad, not bad at all, almost identical to the ones I cooked!"

Suddenly, Huang Xiaochuan stopped peeling lobsters and asked in confusion, "Recipe? When did I learn how to make recipes?"

Yu Min laughed and said, "Have you forgotten the summer you and Yu Wei got into university, when you cooked lobster at my house? Didn't I ask you to write down how to cook lobster? Zhiyuan cooked it according to that recipe."

After Yu Min reminded him, Huang Xiaochuan remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

The group then chatted about everyday things and the changes in Qingjiang over the past few years.

After the meal, Yu Min busied herself clearing the table of dishes. Yue Zhiyuan sat on the sofa with Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei, chatting and resting. Yue Xiaoyong was sent back to his room by Yu Min for a nap, as he would have to continue his tutoring in the afternoon.

After washing the dishes, Yu Min said while taking off her apron, "I bought some local specialties from Qingjiang this morning. These aren't sold in Shanghai, so you can take them back with you."

As they were talking, Yu Min struggled to carry the two bags to the door. At this moment, Yue Zhiyuan glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Alright! Then we won't keep you any longer. You should go home early so that your older sister and Tang Yuan won't worry. Be careful on your way home."

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I brought several people with me. We'll take turns driving when we get tired."

Yue Zhiyuan carried two bags and escorted Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei downstairs. Gao Song quickly took the bags from Yue Zhiyuan's hands when he saw this.

"Zhiyuan, you can go back now! We're leaving!" Huang Xiaochuan waved to Yue Zhiyuan and got into the car.

Yu Wei greeted Yue Zhiyuan before getting into the car.

Three cars drove out of the residential area, onto the main road, and headed straight for the highway entrance.

At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan sent a text message to Yu Xiang to prevent her from worrying at home.

Not long after, Yu Xiang called, her voice a mix of admonition and reproach: "Be careful on the road, I'll settle the score with you two when I get back!"

"Got it!" Huang Xiaochuan then hung up the phone and closed his eyes, pretending to doze off.
