He Yuan used to do homework when he was in school, and he had two habits.

The first habit is that every time he hasn't assigned his homework yet, he finishes it early.

At that time, the teacher assigned homework regularly, for example, after you went to the first few lessons, the homework of the day was basically the after-class homework of the lesson, or the corresponding tutoring exercises.

At that time, children who loved learning would basically finish their homework in advance according to the teacher's habit, and then the extra time would go to preview the next lesson or do other extracurricular tutoring homework.

He Yuan used to finish his homework in advance, but he didn't finish his homework so that he could preview the next lesson or do extracurricular tutoring materials. Instead, I want to save more time and spend more time looking at the network.

However, despite the increase in age, teachers often give out other homework that does not follow the rules, such as the study newspaper purchased by the school organization, or the test papers that are temporarily printed, or the exercises that the teacher does not know where to find them.

As a direct result, even if He Yuan finishes his homework in advance, after returning home, he still needs to spend time doing these homework temporarily assigned by the teacher.

In the end, He Yuan simply didn't do it.

He brought the time he had spent doing his homework at school, and when he got home, he didn't remember that he hadn't done his homework until he saw that it was almost early in the morning...... Usually at this time, He Yuan thought that he should finish it quickly, and then find time to catch up with his homework, while continuing to be nervous, still nagging in his heart, hurry up and finish reading, and do it after reading......

He Yuan originally thought that his habit had changed. After all, since going to work, He Yuan has been difficult to encounter a situation where he can put off work and wait for a while to do it.

When the company gives you task A, you have to drink a glass of water, make a cup of tea, go to the toilet, and turn on the computer again. As a result, after you log in to QQ and WeChat, you will find that there are more B, C, D, E, F mailboxes...... and other work.

He Yuan had a few friends who had entered the industry together, and the reason why He Yuan came to Beijing to work was because they pulled him over. After all, He Yuan's original purpose was to go to Shanghai, and he always felt that the historical atmosphere in the north was too thick and there were too many powerful people, and in contrast, the south, which was more open and entrepreneurial, might be more suitable for him.

At that time, He Yuan was even optimistic about the company and submitted his resume, and at that time, He Yuan's brother was going to get married, so he chose him as the best man. He Yuan had already bought suits, bought leather shoes, spent more than 2,000 yuan on his body to dress up, and after being the best man, he packed his luggage and took it to Shanghai.

Unexpectedly, a friend he knew went to Beijing to join the company, and recommended He Yuan to their company, and asked He Yuan for a resume to throw over, and then invited He Yuan to go for an interview.

At that time, He Yuan was still in Chengdu and lived with Peng Peng. He had just graduated, finished his driver's license, and found a studio to work in Taiwanese publishing. The salary is not high, the monthly salary is only 2,000, and the monthly income of two people is only about 4,000 yuan.

At that time, they were able to endure hardship, and after paying the rent, they could not afford to eat a restaurant. He Yuan found his relatives, borrowed pots and pans that they didn't use, and cooked by himself at home, sometimes he couldn't afford to eat the dishes, so he cooked some white rice, and just a few yuan of pickles was a meal.

At that time, everyone had no money, and it was a luxury for them to break a penny in half and spend it, or even go to the supermarket to buy a popsicle for five cents a piece. The happiest thing is that when you pay your salary every month, calculate how much money you have saved in the previous month, and if you have money, you go to the barbecue stall next to your place of residence and order a barbecue for dozens of yuan, or go a little further and eat a dry pot for 60 yuan.

Once when Peng Peng came back from work, he passed by a roast duck restaurant on the way, smelled the aroma from the store, and couldn't bear it, so he spent more than ten yuan to buy a roast duck. After returning home, he touched his head and said with an embarrassed face: "I smell it, I'm so gluttonous, I want to eat ......"

The topic is a bit off the hook.

In short, after going through that hard time, He Yuan thought that he had got rid of this problem. But he didn't expect that at this time, he would do a temporary cramming again.

Because the time was too rushed, He Yuan could only do the simplest things first.

He Yuan prepared crabs, shrimp, these two ingredients, which are relatively expensive in themselves, even if He Yuan doesn't deal with anything, just make a steamed, or boiled, and take it out to be placed as a dish, which can also be taken to take pictures and send to Moments.

In addition to these two ingredients, this Chinese New Year, no matter what, you have to make a fish.

But on the contrary, He Yuan didn't like to eat fish when he was a child, He Yuan's health was very poor when he was a child, and he didn't know who said that eating fish nourishes his body, so he boiled fish soup at home, causing He Yuan to want to vomit when he saw fish.

Until the past few years, because of work, I often have to eat out, and then other colleagues will always order some fish. What kind of grilled fish, steamed fish, sweet and sour fish, if it is Sichuan cuisine, He Yuan can still avoid fish and choose other dishes to eat, but if you eat grilled fish...... He Yuan can't always sandwich side dishes, right?

So after eating it a few times, I got rid of He Yuan's problem of not eating fish.

This truth tells He Yuan that if there is anything wrong with a person, it is mostly habitual, thrown into the society, and it will be fine immediately if he climbs for a few years. If only a few years weren't enough...... Then don't give a penny, climb for a few more years.

Fortunately, when He Yuan was buying fish, he asked the boss to help him deal with it. If he brought a live fish home and let He Yuan kill the fish by himself, with He Yuan's blood-dizzying character, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to lift the knife - He Yuan watched them kill the fish, either he would stun the fish with a knife, or he would just throw the fish to the ground and kill it, and then cut open the abdomen and deal with the internal organs.

Because He Yuan was making fish for the first time, for insurance, he simply steamed it.

According to the steps on the APP, He Yuan processed the fish, put it in the pot, and began to steam.

After doing this, He Yuan had already finished three dishes. Among them, fish is a big dish, and the other two are also considered to be garnished, and he also bought some cooked food and cold vegetables in the supermarket, and then fried two hot dishes and cooked a soup, which should be about the same.

He Yuan turned off his mobile phone, and then stir-fried the food, which was very simple for him.

He silently calculated in his heart, after putting aside some difficult dishes, He Yuan should be able to make this meal on time - mainly because he bought a lot of cooked food to make up the number, and if their family made their own Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they all started to order ingredients a month ago, and began to marinate and prepare a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the chef of the house in charge of cooking will take charge of the cooking, and other chefs will work to arrange a delicious and hearty Chinese New Year's Eve meal. It's not like He Yuan, who carries things that he doesn't know which supermarket he bought from and puts them on the table to fish in troubled waters.

Crabs and shrimps can't be cooked for too long, so He Yuan set an alarm clock in the process of processing the fish before, and when the alarm clock rang, he fished out the food, put it on a plate and covered it with a lid.

When steaming the fish, He Yuan also washed a few sections of sausage and bacon, hummed a song, and cleaned it up, then put it in the pot with the white radish and boiled it, and then went to process the other ingredients.

The kitchen at home is big, and the feeling of cooking things is different.

In addition to the brand-new stove, He Yuan also has a natural gas stove and a battery stove, that is, there is not enough time today, otherwise He Yuan will have to take out the pressure cooker he bought before, stew pig's trotters, make chicken soup or something, and improve the food.

Speaking of which, since he bought this pressure cooker, He Yuan has not used it once.

The main reason is that the pressure cooker looks too dangerous, especially when it is out of the air, the small circle above the head is spinning, like an old steam train, making a "woo woo" sound, and it feels like it will explode at any moment.

When everything was almost done, He Yuan took out his mobile phone and took a look, it was almost twelve o'clock.

He Yuan took off his apron, hung it on the hook on the side, and walked out of the kitchen.

When he was cooking before, He Yuan had always been worried that Tang Duoduo would come down, he wanted to surprise Tang Duoduo, and he didn't want to be discovered by her so soon.

As a result, after He Yuan finished doing it, Tang Duoduo didn't appear, and he didn't know whether to rest in the house or go out in broad daylight, which made He Yuan a little worried.

He walked into the courtyard and shouted upstairs, "Duoduo, come down to eat." ”

He Yuan waited in the courtyard for a while, and saw Tang Duoduo's room door open, dressed in a white short down jacket, dressed in a fluffy, round Tang Duoduo, poking his head out of the room.

Seeing Tang Duoduo poking his head out upstairs, He Yuan beckoned to her: "Come down, let's eat." ”

Tang Duoduo glanced at He Yuan, closed the door, and went back to the house.

After He Yuan finished calling Tang Duoduo, he turned around and went back to the kitchen, brought the prepared meal into the living room, and put it on the table to arrange it.

Because it is winter, the food gets cold relatively quickly. Fortunately, He Yuan put the cooked meal in the cauldron on the stove, so when it was brought out, the dish was still steaming and exuding a fragrance.

After He Yuan set the table, he looked at the table and touched his chin, always feeling a little dissatisfied.

He unconsciously glanced out of the door, suddenly realized, went out directly, walked to the flower bed in the courtyard, and picked a few small flowers. Then he took out the vase he had bought from the house, inserted the small flowers, and placed them on the dining table as decorations.

The vase was bought when it was renovated before, and it was used for flower arrangement and decoration at that time. However, because He Yuan later bought a lot of meat, put it at home, and bought some pothos to remove the odor after decoration, these vases have not come in handy.

It was only at this time that He Yuan remembered them again.

Turn them out of the shadows where they don't know where they are hidden, and replay their role.

After doing this, Tang Duoduo also came down from upstairs.

He Yuan had just finished dealing with the problem of ornamentation and was adding food to the little guy.

After hearing the voice, he pointed to the dining table without raising his head and said, "You wash your hands first, and then start eating." ”

As he spoke, he took out the little guy's snacks, which were nutritional paste, canned cat food, and goat's milk jelly.

Originally, He Yuan also bought some catnip, but I heard from the seller that kittens are not suitable for eating catnip, at least wait until it is one year old before feeding it these things.

He Yuan "added food" to the little guy in order, and while feeding the little guy, He Yuan muttered in his mouth: "Eat, eat, eat, eat better today's New Year." ”

When the little guy saw He Yuan take out something, he first squatted down and sniffed it with his nose. Then it stood up again, walked to He Yuan's side with cat steps, began to rub He Yuan's hand with his face, and stretched out his little paws, playing with the cat cans there.

He Yuan also added meals to the little guy from time to time before, just to avoid feeding the little guy's mouth, only eating snacks and not cat food, so He Yuan has always controlled the amount of snacks for the little guy.

But the little guy has already eaten snacks a few times, and when he smells the snacks at this moment, he instantly recalls the familiar feeling, and can't wait to peel off the tin sheet and start licking it.

He Yuan saw that the little guy was so anxious, and he didn't tease it anymore, he opened the can, sprinkled the can on the cat food, and stirred it with chopsticks.

During this period, the little guy kept putting on the plate, and He Yuan stretched out his hand to drive him away.

Finally mixed the cat food, He Yuan just took his hand, and saw the little guy can't wait to run into the basin, sniff it with his nose first, and then quickly buy his head into it, and start to eat it "click".

When the little guy was eating, He Yuan opened the goat's milk jelly again and put it aside. Then he unscrewed the paste again, squeezed out a little bit of it from behind, and put the paste on a plate beside him, and when the little one had finished eating the canned food, he would see it when he looked back.

After doing this, He Yuan entered the room, squeezed some hand sanitizer in his hand, and flushed his hand. After drying his hands with a rag, He Yuan also put his hand in front of his nose and sniffed it, confirming that there was no fishy smell of canned cat food, and then he was satisfied - the hand sanitizer he bought was an imported cherry blossom flavored hand sanitizer, and after washing, there would be a smell of cherry blossoms on his hands.

That kind of taste is hard to describe, how to say, a little fresh, and a little sweet, giving people the feeling, just like being in love, very girly.

He Yuan returned to the living room, Tang Duoduo was sitting on a chair, and he glanced back at him when he heard the sound.

"It's just two of us, you make so many things, can you finish eating. Tang Duoduo pointed to the dishes on the table and said to He Yuan.

"If you can't finish eating, just leave it and continue to eat later. He Yuan said as he picked up the bowl and took out the rice from the small rice cooker on the side.

He has several iron pots, several rice cookers, and even a large steamer to accommodate different numbers of guests. Among them, when he and Tang Duoduo eat, they usually use this small rice cooker, and after steaming, it is exactly the amount of two people.

"Just do a little, eat a little, get so many dishes, and go back and eat some leftovers. Tang Duoduo said.

"For the Chinese New Year, whoever cooks is doing it according to the amount. Besides, isn't the Chinese New Year the first time to eat a big meal, eat leftovers on the second day, eat leftovers on the third day, pickle gruel on the fourth day, and white flour steamed buns on the fifth day, don't care about these details. I'll give you rice. He Yuan put the rice in front of Tang Duoduo, picked up another bowl, and served rice for himself.

"New Year's Day, what New Year?" Tang Duoduo tilted his head, looking puzzled.

After He Yuan served his own meal, he put it in front of him, folded his hands, and said to Tang Duoduo: "I have to go out tonight, I may not be able to accompany you to eat, well, this meal at noon is our Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." ”

"You mean this, is it the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" Tang Duoduo lowered his head and looked at the dishes on the table.

Seeing Tang Duoduo's movements, Rao is He Yuan was very thick-skinned, and now he couldn't help but blush.

He cooked a fish, steamed a crab, boiled a shrimp, and fried a hot dish, two vegetables, and a table of meals, half of which were made by himself, and the rest were general, either cooked cold dishes bought in the supermarket, or sausages and bacon smoked at home.

He Yuan didn't know how other people's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was made, but the dishes on his table were enough in quantity, but the quality was still incomparable with what he made at home.

"Hey, for the New Year, it doesn't matter what you eat, the most important thing is that the family should be reunited. Oh, by the way, I also have a red envelope for you. When He Yuan said this, he patted his head, reached out and took out a red envelope from the pocket of his clothes, and handed it to Tang Duoduo, "Here's it, here you go, I wish you a happy new year." ”

He Yuanbao didn't have many red envelopes, and when he was a child, he took red envelopes, usually fifty or one hundred. However, after growing up a little, except for my grandmother and sister, everyone else basically doesn't give red envelopes, so when He Yuan celebrates the New Year, he generally only has a few hundred yuan of New Year's money, and he doesn't even break a thousand.

Tang Duoduo is usually not short of money, not to mention her own private money, just the living expenses He Yuan gives her every week are a lot of income for children of her age. After all, in this small county, many people's monthly salary is only two or three thousand yuan.

He Yuan has not given red envelopes to other children, when he went home before, the family said that he had not yet married and did not need to give red envelopes, and the red envelopes were given by He Yuan's father, so He Yuan did not know how many red envelopes to wrap. What he gave Tang Duoduo was a red envelope of 1,888, purely to ask for good luck.

Tang Duoduo was stunned for a moment, and after He Yuan shook her hand, she reacted and said, "What kind of red envelope is it, it's not a child anymore." ”

That being said, Tang Duoduo still took the red envelope, didn't open it, and put it directly in his pocket.

After doing this, Tang Duoduo's little face was a little hot, she quickly lowered her head, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and after a while, she raised her head again and whispered: "You have given me red envelopes, do I want to give you any gifts." ”

Tang Duoduo's voice was too small, like the sound of a mosquito, and He Yuan wasted a lot of effort to hear it clearly.

"What? You want to give me a gift? Haha, no. He Yuan waved his hand, "It's normal for elders to give red envelopes to juniors, if you want to give me a gift, what is it?"

"However, in our school, if a boy gives a gift to a girl, the girl usually sends the boy a gift in return. When Tang Duoduo spoke, his expression was very serious.

"No need, you are happy every day and grow up well, which is the best gift for me. He Yuandao.

Tang Duoduo lowered his head and stared at the white rice in the bowl, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Come, try this crab and see if it's delicious. He Yuan didn't pay attention to Tang Duoduo's expression, he took a crab, put it in Tang Duoduo's bowl, and sandwiched one himself, and began to think about how to peel it off and eat it.

Regarding the matter of eating crabs, He Yuan is a layman.

In other words, for all seafood products, He Yuan is a layman.

Fortunately, when he went to Xiamen and Sanya before, He Yuan followed his colleagues and learned some skills in eating seafood. Otherwise, as a "child in the mountains", He Yuan boiled crabs, but he couldn't eat them, which was really a joke.

He Yuan followed his memory, first followed the crab legs and peeled the crab in half.

After carefully removing the crab shell, He Yuan peeled out the crab meat inside, and then dipped it in the seasoning to eat.

The seasoning is very simple, it is a stack of seafood soy sauce, and He Yuan went to buy soy sauce in the supermarket according to the brand recommended on the Internet.

The crab legs are relatively fresh, and the seafood soy sauce has a hint of sweetness, which suppresses the fishy smell in the crab meat.

He Yuan carefully bit down the crab meat, smashed it in his mouth and tasted it, how to say it...... If you want to say that you hate it, you can't talk about it, He Yuan can even accept sashimi, and naturally there is no reason to resist this kind of cooked crab meat.

But if you like to eat it...... can't talk about it, after all, as a mainlander, He Yuan feels that everything that needs to be shelled is very troublesome, such as crabs, climbing shrimp, crayfish and the like.

Therefore, He Yuan does not like to eat this kind of shelled aquatic products.

In contrast, he still prefers to eat meat in large gulps.

It is refreshing to eat, and there is no need to peel the shell with great effort, how convenient.

But the peel has already been peeled, and it is too wasteful to put it aside.

He Yuan could only bite the bullet and continue to peel off the rest of the crab shells, and after eating the crab meat inside, he pulled a tissue to wipe his hands, and sighed in his heart.

He is really a poor person, and he is not blessed to be a "high-end goods" like this that rich people often use to pretend to be slapped in the face.

Tang Duoduo on the side didn't seem to be very good at peeling crabs, she followed He Yuan's example, peeled off the crabs, and sucked the crab meat little by little.

Looking at Tang Duoduo's clumsy appearance, He Yuan wanted to laugh a little.

She was wearing a down jacket that He Yuan bought for her, with a fluffy little hat, and she looked particularly cute.

After eating one, Tang Duoduo pushed the paper towel containing the crab shell to the side, then picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to pick up the vegetables.

"What's wrong, isn't it delicious?" He Yuan was a little surprised.

According to his idea, girls generally like to eat these crabs and shrimps.

At least when He Yuan went out to eat with girls before, those girls always liked to order these strange things.

In the past, when He Yuan organized team building in the group, he asked the girls below what they wanted to eat, the first thing they wanted to eat was seafood, followed by Japanese food, and then what kind of barbecue, hot pot, and the like.

"It's okay, it's just that the cheeks hurt from eating. Tang Duoduo said expressionlessly.
