Chapter 21: Making a Wish

Looking at the fragrant braised pork that had just come out of the pot, Xiaoxi's first reaction was to eat it.

Li Mei on the side was very proud when she saw Xiaoxi's appearance.

Proud of her own cooking skills, she thought about it and thought of Xiaoxi's father.

Doesn't it mean that to catch a man, you must first grab his stomach?

But she still couldn't resist the temptation of money, Li Mei sighed slightly.

"Mom, you eat it too," Xiao Xi picked up a piece of braised pork and handed it to Li Mei's mouth.

"Mom eats first, Xiaoxi will eat later," Xiaoxi did not forget to give the braised pork to her mother first.

"Oops, why did I forget the water in the pot," Li Mei couldn't take care of it slowly, and suddenly thought of something.

Went straight to the kitchen, it turned out that I didn't pay attention to the time and stayed outside for a long time.

The water in the pot had already boiled, and Li Mei made the meatballs that had been stirred into a round sphere.

Then he threw it into the boiling water, added the green leaves, and covered it with a wooden cover.

Now just wait for the meatballs to cook and start eating.

The rice has long been cooked in a lattice and can be eaten at any time.

"Xiaoxi, do you want to cook first, the meatball soup can't be cooked until later," Li Mei shouted in the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm going to wait for you to eat together," Xiao Xi had already put down her dishes and chopsticks at this time.

Then I poured two cups of hot water for my mother and myself.

After waiting for a while, a smell of meatballs wafted out of the kitchen.

A hot smell emanated from the kitchen, and Xiao Xi knew that the meatball soup was out of the pot.

Braised pork and a green vegetable meatball soup is already a sumptuous meal in Xiaoxi's house.

"Xiaoxi, be careful of scalding, the green vegetable meatball soup is here," Li Mei came out of the kitchen.

He brought up the steaming green vegetable meatball soup and put it on the table.

"Xiaoxi, hurry up, put away the things on the table, there won't be a pile here. ”

Xiao Xi hurriedly finished packing up her homework book and put the book aside.

The birthday cake was also set aside, leaving plenty of space for eating.

"I'm going to serve you food, I've cooked so much tonight, it's enough for you to eat. ”

Originally, Xiaoxi's family ate according to the standard of six points full.

Everyone has strict standards for neither cooking too much nor eating more.

There has never been a meal where you can eat enough, this is the actual situation in Xiaoxi's family.

The most important thing is the family's financial situation, no matter where you need money, and you have to earn little money.

So this is a last resort, but now it's different.

Li Mei first figured it out, and said that she couldn't treat Xiaoxi badly.

The second is that Xiaoxi's father gave a sum of money when he left, which was enough for the family to have something to do.

Now that I see that my broom and dustpan have a good market, I may slowly have money in my bag.

Compared with before, now Xiaoxi's family is developing in a good direction.

Li Mei secretly decided that every week in the future, she would ensure that Xiaoxi could eat meat and eat a meal of meat.

Let Xiaoxi stay healthy and not malnourished.

As for what to do when Xiaoxi goes to the county seat to study later, then I will have to find a way when the time comes.

Li Mei put Xiaoxi and her own food, and urged Xiaoxi to eat quickly.

"Eat it quickly, if you don't eat it now, it will be cold later, and it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

Li Mei also held a piece of braised pork and sent it to her mouth with rice.

And unlike before, all the meat has to be left to Xiaoxi.

Today's big bowl of braised pork Xiaoxi will definitely not be able to eat it alone, not to mention that she can't help it.

Li Mei hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and now she smells the smell of meat, that is, the hungry wolf meets the little cotton sheep.

Her first reaction was to eat it, and Li Mei couldn't help but eat a few pieces.

Xiaoxi saw that her mother was also eating, so she was even more polite, directly sandwiched the meat, and stuffed it into her mouth with the rice.

No matter how much I reminisced about the meat, I swallowed it with a grunt.

"Xiaoxi, slow down, slow down, have you finished drinking that Coca-Cola there, if you haven't finished drinking it, you can continue to drink it now." ”

Li Mei reminded Xiao Xi, and Xiao Xi reacted at this time.

Drinking Coca-Cola and eating at the same time, I really have a little bit of the life of a rich family.

"Xiaoxi, don't just eat braised pork, there are still these meatballs there, how about tasting the taste of my mother's cooking?"

Li Mei picked up the meatballs with chopsticks and sent them to Xiaoxi's bowl.

Xiaoxi's mouth is now wrapped in braised pork and rice, where can he take care of it.

Hurriedly swallowed the braised pork mixed with rice in his mouth, and picked up the meatballs handed over by his mother.

As soon as I bit down, a stream of water mixed with meatballs gushed out.

Xiaoxi has always wondered why the meatballs made by her mother are different from others, and when the meatballs made by her mother are eaten, there will be water mixed with oily liquid water coming out.

Then Xiao Xi was full of mouths, but now Xiao Xi obviously can't think of this.

Because she was scalded, the meatballs that had just come out of the pot were too hot.

"Woo", Xiaoxi immediately took a sip of Coke, and then forcibly swallowed it.

If she spit it out, her mother might say something, so Xiaoxi had to swallow the meatballs.

"Xiaoxi, how is it? Isn't it hot, Mom didn't expect so much just now. ”

"There is still some cold water here, drink a little to cool down," Li Mei hurriedly poured cold water into the cup.

It was handed to Xiao Xi, but Xiao Xi shook his head.

"The meatballs were a little hot just now, but I drank this Coca-Cola and now it's fine. ”

Xiaoxi hurriedly said, for fear that her mother would be worried, and then picked up another meatball and blew it for a while.

Then put it in your mouth and slowly savor this rare delicacy.

After so many days, Xiaoxi gradually got used to the days without her father.

It's still the same as usual, eating, studying, sleeping, and playing.

Xiaoxi chatted with her mother while eating, and felt that it was endless fun.

After the meal, the two rested for a while, and the mother put the cake in front of her.

The dim lights of the home shine here, which is very interesting.

"Xiaoxi, why don't we turn off the lights so we can light the candles later. ”

"I've heard of birthdays, it's not perfect to eat birthday cakes and candles, and today my Xiaoxi is going to have a perfect birthday. ”

With Xiaoxi's consent, her mother turned off the lights.

"Xiaoxi, light the candles first," Li Mei had already inserted six candles on top of the cake.

Six candles represent the sixth birthday.

"Mom lights a candle for you, and when Xiaoxi blows out six candles in one breath, she will make a wish. ”

In the dark night, it was cold and deserted, and at this time, in this lonely night, there were six small sparks.

A mother and son surrounded this small spark, with a look of hope and a vision for a better life.

"Mom, I blew it," Xiao Xi finished speaking, and blew out six candles in one go.

"Quick, make a wish, make a wish," Xiao Xi followed her mother's words and made a wish directly.

You can't say your wishes, or you won't be able to do it.

So Xiaoxi silently promised that one day she would definitely earn a lot of money, and then let her mother live her best life.

This is an ordinary and simple wish, which is not easy for such a six-year-old girl.

Then Xiaoxi also hoped that her father could return to them......

I made several wishes in a row......

"Xiaoxi, you...... Haven't made a wish yet? Or have you made a few wishes?"

Li Mei noticed that Xiao Xi didn't react for a long time, and then couldn't help but say.

"Xiaoxi, you can only make one wish, and it won't work if it's a lot. ”

One sentence directly brought Xiao Xi back to her senses, and she secretly annoyed that she seemed to be too greedy.

"Then I want the first wish, and the next few wishes don't count," Xiao Xi was anxious and hurriedly said.

Li Mei on the side couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Xiaoxi, you are really a greedy little clever ghost, in fact, it's okay to make more wishes. ”

"Now it's time to turn on the lights......"
