Chapter 194: Enjoying the Coolness
Yan Lan held the bowl and scooped a spoonful of chicken head rice and put it in her mouth, and after exhaling twice, she pushed the bowl in front of Bian Rui: "It's not delicious at all, except for the sweetness, it's sweet, I didn't eat the fragrance you said anyway."
Bian Rui took the bowl, scooped a spoonful of chicken head rice and took a bite, tasted it slowly, and then asked Yan Lan, "Have you tasted it carefully?"
Bian Rui was a little skeptical that Yan Lan's sense of taste was wrong, how well the chicken head rice was cooked, the sweetness was just right, it did not cover up the fragrance of the chicken head rice, and it also mentioned the umami, Bian Rui himself couldn't wait to praise himself for cooking it well.
Yan Lan heard the words and said, "You like you to eat."
"I don't know good things!" Bian Rui took two bites in a row after listening to it, and half a bowl of chicken head rice went into his mouth, and the chewing was called a happy one.
To be honest, Bian Rui likes to eat chicken head rice, but he doesn't like to make a bowl of satisfying his cravings when he has nothing to do, because it's too troublesome to make, although Bian Rui is a cook, but it's okay who finds this trouble. If he hadn't wanted to get a bowl for his girlfriend to taste, Bian Rui wouldn't have been busy.
Now that I've been busy for most of the day, my girlfriend hasn't eaten two bites, and Bian Rui has to enjoy it by herself.
While eating, Bian Rui heard his mobile phone ringing, and saw that the mobile phone was a little far away Yan Lan happened to be next to him, so he motioned for Yan Lan to pick it up to see who called.
Yan Lan picked up her phone and looked: "It's Jingjing calling"
Bian Rui was eating a mouth full of chicken head rice, and motioned for Yan Lan to help him pick it up.
So Yan Lan pressed the connect button and put the phone to her ear: "Hey, Jingjing, it's me, your dad is busy with work, do you want me to give him the phone?"
Then Yan Lan said oh twice, and put the phone to Bian Rui's ear.
"What's the matter?" Bian Rui asked.
"Dad, I met my godfather at noon today, he said to invite me to the ranch in New Zealand, Dad, I want to go to New Zealand, can we change the time to ride?"
Bian Rui knew that it must be the daughter of Zhou Zheng's kid, Bian Rui didn't have much interest in going abroad, so he persuaded his daughter: "When can't you go to New Zealand, how good is our ride, you can take a look at the surrounding scenery along the way, and, to tell you a good news, your sister Yan will also go with us on this ride, are you happy?"
"I'm happy, but I still want to go to New Zealand," the little girl seemed to have made up her mind.
Bian Rui didn't know that the little girl was so determined to go to New Zealand because Zhou Zheng said that he would invite her to take a private jet at that time, and said that the private jet was full of flowers, what delicious and fun everything, the little girl originally loved to be lively, and when she heard that there were cows and horses in the ranch and there were thousands of them, as well as all kinds of small animals, where could she bear it, and as soon as she came back, she called Bian Rui and strongly asked to go to New Zealand to play.
Bian Rui persuaded her for a while, and the little girl insisted that she was going to New Zealand, so Bian Rui had to show off her procrastination trick, and after talking for five or six minutes, she persuaded her daughter and agreed to think about it herself.
Putting down the phone, Bian Rui opened his mouth and scolded: "Zhou Zheng, this old boy will cause trouble for me, and good things will be mixed up for him again, I think he is the-stirring stick in our group of friends!"
Yan Lan listened to it next to her, and said to Bian Rui: "I also want to go to New Zealand to see Zhou Zheng's ranch, the scenery there was so beautiful last time I saw it in the photos, and this time it is just the opposite of our climate, our domestic heat is surprising, New Zealand is winter, at this time it is only ten degrees, the lowest is only five or six degrees, I really miss the feeling of wearing cotton clothes."
Bian Rui was about to call over and scold Zhou Zheng, but now that Yan Lan said that he was going too, Bian Rui felt that he really had a way, and a girl could still deal with it, and now that the girl and his girlfriend were standing in a pit at the same time, Bian Rui had to change his mind.
Zhou Zheng quickly answered the phone: "Hey, have you thought about it?"
"I said, why are you bent on getting me to New Zealand?" Bian Rui said angrily.
Zhou Zheng replied with a smile: "How can I mess with you, I'm here to let you open your eyes and see my ranch! Besides, it's hot in the country now, what are you doing in the country all day, anyway, there is nothing to do, the children are also on vacation, Yan Lan is also resting, your family of three just came over to have a play, and it can be regarded as spending the last single time with me."
"What's wrong? Are you really getting married?" asked Bian Rui.
Zhou Zhengdao: "I saw someone is not bad, anyway, it's almost, I asked the girl, people said to look at me, so this matter is almost settled, about October 1st I will get the certificate, by the way, the gift you promised is ready, I want a mahogany bed, similar to the style of your home, but you have to bring me two bedside tables, it is best to give me a drawing first, and I will find someone to match the rest of the furniture ......."
"I'm going, are you waiting for me here?" Bian Rui smiled: "Then congratulations on getting married and starting a business, don't worry about the gifts."
"I still have one more thing to tell you, our daughter seems to be unhappy at your ex-wife's house, I met her in the amusement park today, she saw me happy like something, and I always feel uncomfortable when I see her stepfather, this person is not a good thing" Zhou Zheng said.
Bian Rui smiled and quipped: "How many of you businessmen are not like this, I used to put you at the end of the four people, it is not for no reason that you are low, he can still be treacherous and slippery past you kid? Okay, I know in my heart, no matter how I say it, she is her mother, and she can still push her into the fire pit? I will pick her up in two days."
The little girl called more than once and said that she wanted to come back, but Bian Rui couldn't pick it up by her temperament, the previous agreement said that it was impossible for Bian Rui to tie her daughter to her side and not let her mother see it, although the little girl didn't like Wang Jie's 'cage', but now she must learn to live in this 'cage'. How can everything go well in this life, sometimes things you don't like can make you grow, and being comfortable is not conducive to the tempering of people's character.
"Then you arrange the time, I will take my daughter and Yan Lan to live on your ranch for a few days," Bian Rui said.
Zhou Zhengdao: "Okay, aren't you going to pick up our daughter on the 5th, then on the 7th, on the 7th, we will depart from your provincial airport, bring your passports, and I will take care of the things on the other side of New Zealand."
"Okay, I see," Bian Rui said.
The two brothers chatted for a while, Bian Rui put down the phone and turned to Yan Lan and said, "Are you satisfied now?
Bian Rui said a little wrongly, as soon as he heard that the temperature in New Zealand is only about ten degrees, I have to say that Bian Rui is also a little tempted. It's to blame that the village is so hot this summer, and at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, I can stand outside at will and look at the road, and I can feel that the road is hot when I wear straw sandals.
"Go play, seriously, I also want to enjoy Zhou Zheng's private jet," Yan Lan said with a smile.
Bian Rui said: "Where are you, can't the great rivers and mountains of the motherland stay with you?"
Yan Lan was happy and didn't answer: "Hurry up and eat, let's enjoy the cool after eating."
Bian Rui had no choice but to hum and quickly ate up the chicken head rice in the bowl.
After the two finished dinner, they each brought a chair, brought flower water and mosquito coils to the village's wheat field to cool off.
It can be said that it is a traditional summer project in the countryside, and it is generally a village gathering on the wheat field. At the end of the day, it was too hot in the house to stay with the people, so the villagers all came out to enjoy the coolness, and waited until ten o'clock when the temperature in the house dropped before returning to the house to sleep, and more people directly took a small cool bed and a bed to sleep directly on the drying field, and then returned to the house before the frost fell in the early morning of the next day.
Although there is also a drying field at the door of Bian Rui's house, but the drying field of Bian Rui's house is not ventilated, and the location of the drying field in the village is much better, just in the valley, the east and west sides are connected to the valley, as soon as the sun sets, the temperature difference between day and night comes up, and there will be a small wind in the valley because of the difference in temperature, so that the heat on the drying field will be taken away quickly, and a small breeze will blow at the same time.
Together, the drying field will naturally be cool, and the drying field will become a treasure place for the villagers to enjoy the cool every summer, even if the home is equipped with air conditioning, it is not as good as blowing a small cool breeze with the villagers on the drying field, and eating fruits while enjoying the mountains.
Bian Rui sat in the back seat of the little sheep with a chair in one hand, and there was a net bag hanging behind him, and there were two watermelons soaked in cold stream water in the net pocket, each five or six catties, which was grown from Bian Rui's vegetable garden.
Yan Lan was in charge of driving, Bian Rui was in charge of carrying things, and the two were ready to go to Bian Rui's parents' house.
When they arrived at Bian Rui's parents' house, the two stopped their motorcycles, and then carried a brand-new small cool bed from the front room, the small cool bed was made of bamboo, one meter six wide, two meters long, and four small bamboo poles were tied to the four legs of the bed, and mosquito nets were hung on the bamboo poles.
This small cool bed was specially made by Bian Rui's father for Yan Lan, and the best bamboo was selected, and the polishing was also fine, and at the same time, a picture was made out of bamboo strips on the bed surface of the cool bed: five or six bats surrounded two or three pomegranate flowers.
In short, Bian Rui's Lao Tzu took out his best craftsmanship and specially made such a small cool bed for Yan Lan, the prospective daughter-in-law, although he did not explicitly say that it was for Yan Lan, but Bian Rui still saw the meaning of his parents and elders.
Pomegranate has many sons, bats and blessings have the same sound, and the meaning of this small cool bed pattern is more children and more blessings, but Bian Rui just knew it and didn't say it to Yan Lan. Yan Lan doesn't seem to understand too much, anyway, she likes this cool bed very much, every time she enjoys the coolness, she takes it all up every time.
Bian Rui's parents are now going to the drying field to enjoy the coolness, so Bian Rui and the others directly carried the small cool bed to the drying field, and at this time, the entire drying field was already full of people.
Many people came with cool beds like Bian Rui, and some people only brought reed mats directly to the drying field, and then covered them with a quilt cover, and the children were happiest at this time, playing crazy on the drying field one by one. Adults are more likely to gather together to chat, and older people are listening to the commentary on the radio in groups of three or five.
