Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1709: Shredded Pork in Beijing Sauce 3

After three rounds of drinks, Dr. Guo noticed that the soup in front of Zhuangzhuang hadn’t been touched; he only had a few bites of the cucumber salad and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

"What’s wrong with Zhuangzhuang? Doesn’t he like it?"

Feng Qingxue quickly said, "No, no, he can’t eat seafood, he’s allergic to it."

The family all knew this and were particularly cautious about it.

Dr. Guo was startled, "Oh my, what to do about that? How can you come to the seaside and not taste the seafood here? You can skip the meat, but seafood is a must. Is Zhuangzhuang allergic to all seafood or just certain types? I’ve seen people who are allergic to shellfish like crabs, lobsters, and scallops but not to sea fish."

"He’s quite frail, so we don’t dare let him try anything recklessly." As a mother, she can’t bear to let her son be a guinea pig. Anyway, their family doesn’t lack food, so if he can’t eat seafood, they’ll make up for it with other things.

Wang Cuilan chimed in, "Zhuangzhuang isn’t allergic to seaweed or laver. Those dried goods you sent home, we make them often, and when Zhuangzhuang wanted to try, I couldn’t refuse him. So I let him drink half a bowl of laver egg drop soup and he also had the seaweed salad without any allergic reactions. However, he can’t eat shrimp or conch meat at all, and we haven’t tried sea fish yet."

Feng Qingxue, feeling sorry for her son, said, "No more testing, no more testing, eating and getting an allergy would just make him suffer."

They planned to wait for advancements in medicine to take Zhuangzhuang for an allergy test.

"Sigh, Zhuangzhuang really doesn’t have the palate for it!" Lu Erxiong peeled a shrimp, dipped it in sauce, and stuffed it into his big mouth.

Zhuangzhuang snorted, "Do you think everyone is like you, who only eats and eats and doesn’t study well or do homework properly? Half of the answers on the teacher’s test are failing."

Sitting across from him, Lu Erxiong waved his fist playfully, "Oh, you’re the smart one, huh? Smart people don’t tattle!"

"Try hitting me and see if mom will hit you or scold me." Zhuangzhuang wasn’t scared at all.

Dr. Guo laughed heartily, "Mrs. Cheng, are they always this lively every day?"

Wang Cuilan nodded, "There are times even more lively than this, you’ll find out later. Being with these kids, one laugh can dispel all worries."

A laugh to dispel worries?

Indeed, Dr. Guo had already tossed aside thoughts of her annoying son and daughter-in-law.

In the evening, they arranged accommodation. Feng Qingxue intended to take Wang Cuilan and Fubao back to the dormitory, but the triplets were adamantly against it.

Zhuangzhuang and Lu Erxiong clung to Feng Qingxue’s arms, one on each side, refusing to let go.

Dr. Guo amusingly said, "I have four rooms upstairs. I can share one room with the two girls, and there are still three rooms left that’s more than enough for you all. Why head back? Isn’t walking tiring? The windows on my second floor are large and offer good ventilation from all sides, much cooler than your cramped dormitory with small windows."

She had previously suggested Feng Qingxue move in, but was turned down.

"We still need to go back. I have to bring the electric fan over and wash the kids’ change of clothes." Dr. Guo’s house had rooms, but there was only a ceiling fan downstairs and a pedestal fan in her bedroom.

In the blazing summer heat, living without a fan at night was simply unbearable.

Lu Erxiong stayed upstairs for a bit but found it too hot since the fan couldn’t reach him. He went straight to Dr. Guo and asked to borrow some mats to lay on the ground floor. Moving the tables and chairs aside, he lay down on them with his legs crossed, "I’ll sleep right here."

He also pulled Ye Yan, Dundun, and Zhuangzhuang to join him.

Ye Yan and Dundun looked at Dr. Guo, not daring to agree straight away.
