Chapter 24: Foolishness
Xin Andong bought some vegetables from the vegetable market and went home with Tong Zhenghao, opened the courtyard door, and it was pitch black inside.
Tong Zhenghao pitifully spat bitterness at him, "See, my cousin hasn't come back yet, count on him? At most, let Uncle Zhao bring two baked cakes for me to gnaw on." ”
Xin Andong's eyes were clear, Jiang Xuanzong was able to sit in the position of secretary of the county party committee at the age of 25, relying on his outstanding political achievements and ability, most of the officials in this era are dedicated to serving the people, doing practical things, not playing the corpse vegetarian meal, busy naturally has become commonplace.
It's just that Tong Zhenghao is like a left-behind child, guarding such a big house alone, and it looks quite pitiful.
"You go do your homework, I'll make dinner. He said.
Xin Andong, who had just picked up the game console with great interest, snorted painfully, and looked at Xin Andong pleadingly, "As soon as I got home, can't you let me rest, will my homework be written well, I'm so hungry now, I don't have the strength to be hungry, and I don't have the strength to write my homework." ”
Xin Andong didn't eat his set, and directly carried the dishes into the kitchen, "I'll go in and cook dinner now, and I'll check your homework before the meal is ready." If it didn't work, I'm sorry, but you won't have your share of dinner today. ”
"Hey, you're using my stove!" Tong Zhenghao shouted dissatisfiedly.
"I bought the dish, and I'll have to cook the dinner, of course. ”
Xin Andong walked into the kitchen of Tong's house, regardless of Tong Zhenghao's screams behind him, he turned on the faucet and skillfully began to wash vegetables. had the experience last time, Xin Andong's gas stove was very slippery this time. He made a braised eggplant with stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, and a simple tomato egg soup, and ended with a pot of rice. He moved quickly, especially stir-frying, and when the rice was finally stuffy, Xin Andong had already scrubbed the kitchen to the dust.
The shout of eating saved Tong Zhenghao, who had been biting the pen and bitter and hateful, he threw down the pen with a cheer, like an impatient pug running towards the dining table, seeing the dishes on the dining table, his eyes first lit up, and then dimmed, "Tsk, why is there only one fried shredded pork, it's not enough for me to stuff my teeth." He said that he was disgusted, but he was not humble in his hands, and he kept picking up the rice bowl.
Xin Andong's temper is not good, especially when the other party eats the dishes he cooks, and the cooking husband is also very angry, he dragged the shredded green pepper meat to the front, "If you like to eat or not, if you don't eat it, I will eat it." ”
"......" Tong Zhenghao choked, "Why are you so stingy, I'll just say it, why don't I eat your fried food so delicious, hey, hey, you eat less and leave some for me!"
Tong Zhenghao hurriedly grabbed the dishes with Xin Andong before he finished speaking, and in the end, not only was most of the shredded pork fried with green peppers eaten by him, but even the braised eggplant that he didn't look at at at the beginning was eaten cleanly, and there was no soup left.
Finally satisfied, he touched his stomach, and suddenly realized that he was stunned, and his eyes met Xin Andong's, "Ah, we have finished eating all the meals and dishes, what will my cousin eat when he comes back at night?"
"I'm hungry. Xin Andong replied casually, he picked up his change of clothes and went into the bathroom to prepare for a bath, and when he passed by Tong Zhenghao, who was full of entanglement, he kicked him, and raised his chin slightly, "Don't forget to wash the dishes, wipe the table clean, I will check." He smiled faintly.
Xin Andong went to take a bath, Tong Zhenghao's eyes fell on a few greasy and dirty bowls on the dining table, and he turned his head in disgust, he was a young master who had never washed the dishes, so he didn't want to touch those dirty dishes and chopsticks, but he clearly knew that Dongzi generally did what he said, and if he didn't do what Dongzi ordered, the consequences would definitely be serious.
Tsk, he pursed his lips, took out his hand from his trouser pocket, and first tentatively touched the dirty bowl, which was not greasy, nor so unbearable, the corners of his mouth curled, and he began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks relentlessly, muttering in his mouth, "I'm not afraid of his threat." ”
"The first dishwashing is done!" Tong Zhenghao pulled his two sleeves and looked happily at the cleaned and shiny white porcelain bowls stacked in front of him from large to small, and inexplicably felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Just as he was about to leave the kitchen, his eyes suddenly fell on the kitchen countertop, where something was covered by the vegetable basket, he was curious, opened it, and suddenly his eyes widened!
A clean white porcelain plate was filled with shredded green pepper meat and braised eggplant, half of each of these two dishes was distributed on the porcelain bowl, and the sharp amount stinged Tong Zhenghao's eyes, even more than the two of them ate on the table!
It is self-evident who these dishes are left for, Tong Zhenghao is angry in his heart, hehe, he told him to make his cousin hungry, in fact, secretly keep the vegetables, and keep so much!
Why is Dongzi so eccentric!
The jealous Tong Zhenghao returned to the room and didn't talk to Xin Andong, Xin Andong asked him where there was anything about his homework and didn't squeak silently, picked up his clothes and went to take a bath, and lay down on the bed directly after washing. Xin Andong was a little inexplicable, he just thought that Tong Zhenghao had an intermittent illness, and there were always a few times of sulking every time, he was used to it, so he didn't care about him anymore and continued to write homework.
Waiting for the flowers to be thanked or no one coaxed, the exuberant fire in Tong Zhenghao's stomach automatically and slowly extinguished, and then he actually closed his eyes and fell asleep, and when he woke up, he turned around depressedly and lifted the quilt, and called out to Xin Andong, who was writing his homework under the lamp, "Dongzi." ”
"Awake?" Xin Andong turned his head, the smile on the corner of his mouth was particularly warm in the dim yellow light, and his voice was clear, "I heard that your voice is a little hoarse today, and you coughed several times in the evening, I just went to the kitchen to stew rock sugar pears, do you want to serve you a bowl?"
Tong Zhenghao's eyes lit up, and the warmth in his heart was about to overflow, where did he remember that he was angry because Dongzi deliberately left food for his cousin, and nodded hurriedly, "Mmmmmm, I want to eat." ”
Look, Dongzi is still the best for him, and he specially stewed pears for him!
Xin Andong smiled and stood up, "Wait." With that, he left the room and went downstairs.
In the kitchen, Xin Andong stewed a pear-sized rock sugar pear soup in a small pot, added some wolfberries, and the white and tender pear pieces were dotted with red hooks, and the sweet smell was very tempting to enter people's noses.
Jiang Xuanzong turned on the light in the living room with his briefcase, raised his head, and looked at Xin Andong, his eyes flashed with a daze, and he suddenly felt a little silly, Xin Andong pursed his mouth and did not smile, and said hello first, "Hello Uncle Jiang." ”
"You..." Jiang Xuanzong suddenly ran out of words on the face of the young man's white and tender milk tofu, he probably guessed that Xin Andong should have been a guest at home when he appeared here so late, and just about to say something, the tip of his nose suddenly smelled a sweet smell, Jiang Xuanzong, who had not eaten all afternoon, suddenly felt a feeling of hunger in his abdomen, and blurted out, "What is in your hand?"
Xin Andong was stunned for a moment, and raised the bowl in his hand, "Rock sugar pear, Zhenghao has a little cough, I stewed some to relieve his cough." ”
"Hmm, is there anything else?" Jiang Xuanzong said such a shameful request for the first time, and it was also for a junior, and even the other party's height was not as high as his chest, his face was a little unnatural, "I'm a little hungry." ”
"Huh?" His surprised tone made the eyes of the young man opposite instantly flash a look of embarrassment, Xin Andong was clear, although he was a little unbearable, but there was only one bowl of rock sugar pears, he had no choice but to smile and say, "This is for Zhenghao to stop coughing, I only made one bowl," Hearing him say this, Jiang Xuanzong felt a little lost in his heart, but at the same time, he felt relieved that he didn't have to trouble him in the end, but he didn't expect that Xin Andong continued in the next sentence, " Uncle Jiang is hungry, I'll give you a bowl of noodles, I still have some dishes for our dinner, I'll serve Sydney pears to Zhenghao and then cook noodles for you. ”
The excessive request just now had already made Jiang Xuanzong regret it a little, and when the young man offered to cook noodles for him, Jiang Xuanzong immediately waved his hand, "Don't bother, I bought the baked cakes, you can ......" He gestured to take out the baked cakes from his bag.
"But the dishes have already been left for you, and the dishes that were left overnight are unhealthy, so you can't let me throw them away and waste them, right?" Xin Andong said innocently with a wink.
When the other party said this, and when he heard the young man say that he had left it for him, Jiang Xuanzong's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but purse his lips and hook up a good-looking arc, "Okay, thank you." ”
From now on, Xin Andong saw Jiang Xuanzong laughing less than three times, and was suddenly amazed by his laughter, his eyes were stunned as if frightened, and he swallowed his saliva before he half a sound, and said in a low voice, "You're welcome." ”
After sending the rock sugar pear into the room and telling Tong Zhenghao to eat it, Xin Andong quickly went downstairs with his hind feet, and when he walked through the living room, he found that Jiang Xuanzong was leaning on the back of the sofa with his eyes closed, his face was full of exhaustion, he walked lightly to the kitchen, and consciously accelerated the speed of cooking noodles.
There happened to be shredded green pepper pork, Xin Andong simply made green pepper shredded pork noodles, and the braised eggplant was poured on top of it, and a big bowl was brought to the table, when the steaming noodles were ready, Jiang Xuanzong had already smelled the fragrance, his nose moved, and he didn't get up from the sofa until Xin Andong shouted.
He said thank you and sat down.
Facing a large bowl of fragrant green pepper shredded pork noodles, eating the first bite, Jiang Xuanzong's taste buds were conquered by the delicious taste, the soup is fresh and spicy, coupled with the crispy outside and tender and extremely appetizing braised eggplant, not only the taste and satiety, but also the deeper level, this large bowl of noodles brought Jiang Xuanzong a deep touch.
Especially the young man sat next to him with his chin on his face with a smile on his face, without saying a word, but it seemed that his eyes would flash every time he ate a piece of noodles, exuding joy and satisfaction, this warm and inexplicably harmonious scene made Jiang Xuanzong feel very complicated.
There is a warmth of home.
A large bowl of noodles was cleaned by Jiang Xuanzong, not even a drop of soup left, after the meal, he took the initiative to ask to wash the dishes, Xin Andong was very pleased, he followed into the kitchen with nothing to do, while watching Jiang Xuanzong wash the dishes, he asked with a smile, "Uncle Jiang, are you full?"
"I'm full," he laughed, he laughed a little more often today, Xin Andong was flashed again, and he was stunned at the same time, only to hear him say again, "You don't need to use honorific titles." The tone was very gentle, like the big brother of the next-door neighbor, Xin Andong was inexplicably sure that he was in a good mood now, and he was good enough to chat with him.
"What?" Xin Andong asked, not understanding what he meant.
"You are the same generation as Zhenghao, I am his cousin, and you call your uncle a generation worse. ”
…… Xin Andong's face turned red and he touched his nose, can he say that he has always called him Uncle Jiang, except that he can indeed be his uncle at the beginning because of his age, but after knowing that he is Zhenghao's cousin, he continues to call uncle, is it because of some kind of bad taste?
It must not be.
His face remained impassive and deliberately asked, "Then I want to call you Brother Jiang?"
This sentence is actually suspected of being molested, Xin Andong kept mentioning it in his heart the moment he asked, afraid that Jiang Xuanzong would notice it, after all, he was still a thirteen-year-old boy, if this kind of ** words were heard by him, the embarrassment could be imagined.
Jiang Xuanzong paused, and just when Xin Andong thought he heard it, he curled the corners of his mouth again, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes winked at Xin Andong, "Brother Zong, you can call me Brother Zong, my name is Jiang Xuanzong, and juniors call me that." ”
He is a little wooden, Xin Andong was speechless in his heart, his emotional intelligence was worried, and he was really relieved, "Well, then I will also be called Brother Zong in the future, it is the first time I have a brother, it feels quite strange." ”
"It's also the first time I've had a brother as young as you, it's amazing. Jiang Xuanzong had already washed the dishes, and when he heard his words, he agreed in his heart, and even stretched out his palm and patted Xin Andong on the shoulder affectionately.
It is the kind of way that elders often express their love for juniors, Xin Andong couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, thinking to himself, Jiang Xuanzong is also stupid enough, he plotted against him, but he was so frank that even if he had the urge to commit a crime, he was extinguished.
"Laughing at what?"
Xin Andong wouldn't tell him what he was thinking about, so he pretended to be stupid and laughed again, and said, "No, I just think that Brother Zong is not as unkind as he seems on the surface, and sure enough, people can't be good-looking." ”
Another ridiculous sentence, I don't know if Jiang Xuanzong heard it, Xin Andong obviously saw a smile flash in his eyes, but in an instant, he twitched the corners of his mouth after he opened his mouth.
He nodded with a relieved face, "You can use proverbs proficiently at a young age, your teacher Lan is not wrong, your language is very good, remember to guard against arrogance and rashness and continue to work hard." ”
…… It's really stupid or pretending to be stupid, "I just said that I wasn't old-fashioned, and now I start preaching people, it's not much better than being old-fashioned." Xin Andong turned his head and muttered.
"What did you say?"
At this time, they had already turned off the kitchen lights and went up the stairs together, Xin Andong walked to his right, and glared at him angrily when asked, "I mean, Brother Zong and Teacher Lan have a close relationship, which is enviable!"
"Principal Lan and my grandfather are old friends, and Nullah is also my junior, we only go out for tea occasionally, which is not very close. ”
Jiang Xuanzong said seriously, Xin Andong simply admired him to the ground in the five bodies.
That's what you say, people don't think like that, and they have to drink tea with you when they ask for leave, can ordinary friends do it? It seems that Brother Zong's emotional intelligence is indeed worrying, and if he let Teacher Lan hear what he said just now, it would be more ruthless than poking someone's lungs.
