In between helping the kitchen, Zhao Lina took a photo of "Brother Xian" cooking on the stove and sent it to Liu Chunyan, who replied with three "tearful" expressions and a message of "okay, I'll say you're okay".

The "pimple soup" is ready, the faint sourness, the shallow ginger taste, the ingredients are complete, before it is out of the pot, "Brother Xian" put the chopped shallots in it, Zhao Lina stood up and looked at the pot "Goo-Goo-Du-" tumbling, looking good, and couldn't help swallowing saliva. "Brother Xian" turned her head and said as if showing off: How about it -- this green onion must be added in order to bring out the fragrance of various ingredients! Zhao Lina looked at "Brother Xian" as if she pretended to worship, and said: Is it possible to eat it - Chef - can you eat it?

After the meal, the two of them "hissed" on their mouths, a little hot, brought into Liu Jianjian's bedroom, put it on the small coffee table, and the two kept rubbing their hot hands - "Brother Xian" looked up at this bedroom, he hadn't been in for ten years, and the furniture of memory was the same as the furniture of the age- There is a big butt TV on the milky white high and low cabinet, and the milky yellow large vertical cabinet stands on both sides of the wall; the milky yellow wooden double bed is placed next to the back window, covered with coarse cloth blue, black and white sheets, and a slightly lazy tofu block pink quilt; a milky yellow multi-pocket dressing table is placed next to the front window, on which is a familiar and unfamiliar single-card recorder, and a few small compartments of the dressing table are stuffed with rare tapes as a whole; these four things are all newlywed furniture made by Liu Jianjian, this "four-piece set" At that time, it was also popular in the lower courtyard of the upper village for nearly 10 years, and as long as anyone got married, they would inevitably find Liu Jianshe to make these four-piece sets. The "four-piece suit" in the bedroom has some traces of time, and also has the childhood and youth memories of "Brother Xian".

A new set of wooden two-seater sofas and small coffee tables have been added, and it seems that the workmanship should also be made by Liu Jianjian, and there are obvious places where the paint is not evenly smeared; the original roof has been renovated, and the ceiling has been simply made, blocking the original wooden rafters, and a large wattage incandescent lamp has fallen at each end, and the warm light illuminates the white, clean, and overall bedroom, and there are too many warmth and memories in this bedroom.

Zhao Lina looked at the stunned "Brother Xian" and said: "Brother Xian - Brother Xian, it's time to eat, try your own craftsmanship!" "Brother Xian" came back to his senses at this time, and the two children sat around Liu Jianjian, looking at a photo album that was yellowed or even dropped pages. Zhao Lina urged the two children and said: Okay, stop playing, you two and grandpa hurry up to eat, and it will be cold later!

Liu Jianshe also echoed and said: Okay, let's eat quickly, we can watch it later! The two children also sat around the small coffee table, eating with relish, and telling Zhao Lina from time to time, "It's delicious, it's hot, it's hot." Liu Jianshe picked up the bowl and tasted it, obviously with tears in his eyes, and lowered his head to "snorr-snorr-" and ate -

Liu Jianjian's right leg plaster was removed, and the doctor asked him to hold on to crutches, so that he could stretch his strength, walk and walk every day, walk and walk, and put down the crutches and walk normally, but if you look closely, there is still a big difference from before, there is a scar of nearly 20 cm on the leg, which is the same as the scar in his heart and the scar in the child's heart, which cannot be removed.

"Brother Ghost" suddenly grew up and became sensible, and he no longer let Liu Chunyan pick him up, and he was as tall as his sister, and he looked more sensible than his peers. Liu Chunyan began to study at night, and her sister after junior high school, "Ghost Brother", obviously felt thinner, and she was also a little tired. "Ghost brother" asked Liu Chunyan: Sister-do you have to work so hard in the third year of junior high school? Liu Chunyan yawned and said: It's not anymore - let's Shanliwa - if you want to get ahead, only by going to school and studying well - going to a good secondary school can others not look down on you -

"Brother Ghost" nodded frequently while listening, and Liu Chunyan said again: "Sister—and I want to set an example for you!" When Liu Jianshe heard the conversation between the two sisters and brothers, he also interjected and said: Guixian, what my sister said is right, the male baby will be fed in the future, and the female baby will be fed by others, so you have to learn from your sister! "Brother Ghost" lowered his head and listened thoughtfully.

That day, "Ghost Brother" got out of school early and came home early. Liu Chunyan hasn't come back yet, this is already her norm. Liu Jianshe was not at home, and the neighbor opposite heard that the "ghost brother" was back, and ran over to tell him: Your father went to show people the wood, and the total size was something. After listening to this, "Brother Ghost" looked at the posture and could only cook for Liu Chunyan and Liu Jianshe by himself, otherwise Liu Chunyan would be hungry when he went to self-study at night. The kitchen and carpentry shed are opposite, at opposite ends of the yard. "Brother Ghost" took some sawdust and firewood from the carpentry shed, only to find that the water tank was out of water. Finding the flat pole and bucket for diving, "Ghost Brother" hung it on his shoulder and tried it, and finally decided to come back with half a bucket of water as usual and cook first. After thinking about it, this is the first time to cook, and I don't know what to do, but I vaguely remember that Liu Chunyan said that "pimple soup" is easy to make, and I have seen her make it.

Vegetables, potatoes, etc. are cut on the board, and gnocchi is mixed in the bowl. "Brother Ghost" was very proud, and was very happy to look at the "big project" in front of him - red, white, and green, and he was extremely happy and intoxicated. Clean up and stop, do it on the wooden pier of the stove, start to make a fire to cook, and the fire is not lit for a long time. The bellows always seemed to be against him, seeing that the fire was alive, he hurriedly went to pull the bellows, and was blown out in two clicks, and then he didn't use the bellows at all, and tried to blow it with his mouth, except for choking, and repeated it five or six times without success. "Brother Ghost" had an idea, found half of the unburned candle at home, re-stunned the firewood in the firepit, lit the candle, and reached out tremblingly to stuff the candle into the crack of the firewood. With sweat on his forehead and soot on his face, he looked at it with a smile, the flames that were rising rapidly, and the water vapor rising from the cracks of the pot lid, he couldn't help but hum on the wooden pier. After the water boiled, put the gnocchi and other side dishes into the pot, listened to the sound of "goo-goo-goo-", and also followed Liu Chunyan's example, added a firewood to the fire, let the fire burn by itself, and hummed to the yard to breathe fresh air-

On a pile of firewood at the door, I saw the villain book that I hadn't finished reading yesterday - "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", the firewood in the kitchen was "crackling", the pot was "hissing" blowing water, and the faint salty fragrance was wafting faintly, "Ghost Brother" hummed happily, sat on the steps and read the book, and after a few minutes, he concentrated and focused on a page - a page carefully turned over, and when he was in a trance, he felt that his back was hot, and there was a whirring sound in his ears, and there was a feeling of stinging and burning with the air. "Brother Ghost" put down the book, got up and turned to look, there was a pile of thatched grass in the stove, the flames were jumping up and down, and the surrounding plastic cups and a pile of sawdust were also dancing on the fire-

"Brother Ghost" saw this scene, he was immediately stunned, grabbed the broom next to him and went to the flames, the flames were not extinguished, the broom was also on fire, ran out of the kitchen, and shouted loudly to the neighbor uncle opposite: Uncle - Uncle - Uncle neighbor heard the anxious cry of "Brother Ghost", ran out of the door, saw the fire in the kitchen, ran into the house and brought out the basin that had just washed his face, and ran towards the kitchen, shouting while running: Come and find your uncle and aunt - A neighbor's uncle first poured the basin of water on the place where the fire was most vigorous, and saw that there was less than half a bucket of water in the water tank, so he grabbed the scoop and scooped it around, and several neighbors also came with water.

At this moment, Liu Chunyan also ran back, Liu Jianshe also came back, and the two arrived home on their front and back feet. Looking at this scene, he hurried to put out the fire—extinguished, and the kitchen was in shambles—and finally nothing serious, and when it was discovered, the fire in the stove hall was spotted, the walls were blackened, there was a pool of stagnant water, a layer of ash was splashed on the stove, and the white stove was submerged in black dust.

Liu Jianshe thanked the neighbors in the yard, and the "ghost brother" was stunned in front of the carpentry shed, watching all this. Liu Chunyan also came out of the kitchen, walked to the stunned "ghost brother", touched his head, and said with a smile: It's okay - Bao Zheng - Liu Jianshe listened to the cause of the fire, sent away the neighbors, and also walked in front of the "ghost brother", and said: Son-okay-the house almost gave us a little - "ghost brother" After hearing this, he was even more stunned, Liu Jianshe wiped the black ash on the face of the "ghost brother", and said: It's okay - I'll build a new one for us when I order it!

Liu Jianshe turned to see Liu Chunyan cleaning up in the kitchen, and shouted at her: Yanyan, don't clean up, you're hungry, can you still eat the food cooked by Guixian? Liu Chunyan heard it, looked at the "ghost brother" and smiled weirdly, walked to the pot table, wiped some ashes, opened the lid of the pot, and a fragrance came to her nose. Liu Chunyan took a spoonful of it, tasted it herself, and brought it out for the two of them to taste it too. Liu Jianshe walked up to Liu Chunyan with the shoulders of "Brother Ghost", tasted it too, and looked at "Brother Ghost" with satisfaction.

Liu Jianshe sat on the steps at the door and said, "I just don't have a clean bowl, Yanyan, let's eat with a rice spoon!" Liu Chunyan ran back and forth like this, and the three of them sat on the steps, laughing, eating, eating, laughing......
