Chapter 279: There is rice in the pot, and there is love in the heart
At dinnertime, Xiaoxiao finally had almost finished playing in the flower room and was willing to leave. Ji Yunyang and Gong Qingchen stood side by side under the eaves, watching the little smile and support the grandmother who was lying on her back from the flower room to the main hall step by step.
"It's awesome to smile at. As soon as the old and the young entered the house, Gong Qingchen squatted down and kissed the smiling little face, and then removed the small cloak full of snowflakes for her, and took a coat to put on her.
Grandma also took off her coat with the help of others, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao is really a good boy, and when she goes out, she knows to say: 'Mother-in-law, the road is slippery in the snow, I will help you.'" 'You have taught so well. ”
Speaking of this, Gong Qingchen was a little embarrassed, in fact, when it comes to really calculating things, there are really not many things she teaches Xiaoxiao, most of the time, it is Xia Danqing and the kindergarten teacher who are taking her.
However, my grandmother just mentioned this, and she didn't really want to discuss early childhood education with Gong Qingchen. When she had removed her coat, she walked to the chaise longue by the fireplace, and sat down, with the help of the servant, where a fire soon began to dance.
Xiaoxiao saw this magical scene, and walked forward as if fascinated. She still remembered the teacher's admonition not to play with fire, but just lay on her grandmother's lap and watched intently.
Grandma slowly patted Smiling Smiling on the back with her withered hand and asked her, "Do you like this?"
"Like. Xiaoxiao replied without hesitation, turned her head and asked Ji Yunyang, "Uncle Ji, can we install one of this at home?"
"Mom said yes. Ji Yunyang decisively kicked the ball to Gong Qingchen, "Now the most effective person in our family is my mother." ”
"No, you can't. Gong Qingchen asserted his refusal, "If you like it, let's just come to my mother-in-law's place more often." ”
Xiaoxiao nodded a little unwillingly, put her little head on her mother-in-law's lap, and looked at the dancing flames intently.
Grandma was still happy, she patted her smiling back lightly, and asked the two young people: "It's dinner time, I usually eat two meals, but I can't go hungry." Whatever you want to eat, just ask the chef to do it. ”
Ji Yunyang agreed, turned around and was about to leave, but said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, you promised me to prepare a lot of flowers for me to eat!"
Grandma was stunned for a moment, then patted her forehead and said with a smile: "Yes, if you promise to smile, you must do it! Look at me, my brain is a little difficult when I get older." I asked them to prepare a lot of flowers for Xiaoxiao to eat. ”
"Uh-huh!" smiled and nodded in satisfaction, stood up and hugged her grandmother vigorously.
Looking at their harmonious appearance, one old and one young, Ji Yunyang and Gong Qingchen couldn't help but feel a little sour, the two of them, one had goosebumps, the other was childish and innocent, one represented time, and the other meant the future.
The people in the kitchen were very efficient, and not long after the order passed, people began to bring food over there. Because there were only four people eating, and they promised to smile and laugh "a lot of flowers", although the table was full of plates, in fact, the portion of each was not large.
Gong Qingchen looked at the dishes on this table with chopsticks, and sure enough, they were all "flowers", what fried magnolia, lily in soup, rose pie...... All of them are exquisitely shaped and fragrant, which only makes her feel that she is a firewood girl entering the city, and she doesn't know how to say it at all.
Xiaoxiao is much more Lisuo than her mother, as soon as the dishes are ready, she helps the "flower mother-in-law" to sit on the main seat, and then begins to point to the flowers on the plate to "100,000 whys".
At this meal, Gong Qingchen felt that he was full just by listening to his grandmother's flower knowledge of Xiaoxiao, and he didn't know what he had eaten. Ji Yunyang is no better than her, these foods are exquisite, but the portion is indeed too small, and he doesn't dare to eat it openly, for fear of destroying the perfect image in Xiaoxiao's mind.
The husband and wife looked at each other with chopsticks, and reached a tacit understanding in an instant - when Xiaoxiao fell asleep, they went to the kitchen to find something to fill their stomachs.
After dinner, Xiaoxiao played with her grandmother for a while, until she yawned and kept snoring, and then she reluctantly took her grandmother's hand and went back to the room to sleep. Due to her strong request, the small separate room that was cleaned up for her did not come in handy, and she slept with the amiable "flower mother-in-law" and listened to a belly full of stories about the flowers.
Seeing that she had finally gone to sleep, Ji Yunyang and Gong Qingchen, who had not eaten enough for dinner, rushed to the kitchen in the same morning, trying to find some food that could satisfy their stomachs.
After searching in the refrigerator, Gong Qingchen was very disappointed and took out a piece of tofu from it, found two more eggs, and prepared to cook something to eat casually.
"That's it, it's not enough for the two of us. Ji Yunyang's face was full of despair, "Grandma has only five or six people living here, why don't you have any stock in the refrigerator?"
His words reminded Gong Qingchen, and she put the tofu and eggs on the board and opened them one by one to find them, =. Huangtian lived up to his wishes, and she finally found a pack of dragon beard noodles in a side cabinet.
"The most important thing is to be happy. After finding the noodles, Gong Qingchen was also in the mood of joking, she learned the tone of the Hong Kong drama and said, "Are you hungry? I'll give you a bowl of noodles to eat!"
"Starve to death quickly. Ji Yunyang finished pitifully, grabbed her hand and put it on his stomach, "You touch it, it's all flat." ”
Gong Qingchen gave him a wink: "Guest officer, look at it." ”
Because there are not many ingredients, it doesn't take much time to process. Because the injury was not good, Gong Qingchen handed over the work of beating eggs to Ji Yunyang, and he concentrated on cutting tofu.
"Egg tofu noodles?" Ji Yunyang asked with some confusion.
"Try it, eggs are delicious with anything anyway. After Gong Qingchen finished speaking, he put the tofu cut into small cubes into a glass bowl and added some seasonings to marinate.
For cooking, Ji Yunyang has always trusted Gong Qingchen 100%. He beat the eggs, stirred them well, placed them on the countertop, and began to boil water.
It may be that the movement of the two people is too loud, and after a while, the sound of crutches on the carpet is heard outside. Ji Yunyang and Gong Qingchen are like two children who have done bad things and have been caught, those who hide eggs hide eggs, and those who turn off the fire.
"You guys!" Grandma appeared at the kitchen door slowly, "Why don't you say that you haven't eaten enough for dinner, it's better to smile and be sensible." ”
Gong Qingchen sneered and said, "Grandma, haven't you eaten enough?"
Grandma looked at her amusedly and said, "Xiaoxiao fell asleep, I went to the kitchen to see where the little mouse came from to steal oil." ”
Gong Qingchen stuck out his tongue at her, took out the egg liquid hidden behind him, and said, "Isn't it that your attention is on Xiaoxiao in the afternoon, the two of us just want to be self-sufficient, who knows that it will alarm you." ”
Grandma smiled slightly and said, "You go ahead and leave me alone." As I get older, I get less sleep, and I often go to bed late. ”
She said so, Ji Yunyang and Gong Qingchen were not polite, and continued to boil water to prepare to cook noodles.
However, Ji Yunyang still had one thing hidden in his heart, he saw his grandmother looking at them cooking noodles with a calm face, and couldn't help asking: "Don't you ask about Xiaoxiao?"
"I don't have to ask. She replied, "I'm so old, older than the three of you combined, what is there that I can't understand? No matter whose child Xiaoxiao used to be, since she called 'Mom' in the morning, then she is my great-granddaughter, the bloodline descendant of our Yun family." ”
Grandma's words were like a needle that fixed the sea, so it stabilized Gong Qingchen's mind. She no longer had to worry about how to explain Xiaoxiao's life to her, and she didn't always feel that she had deceived this lonely old man.
Seeing that the old man was so open-minded, Ji Yunyang also seemed to be encouraged, and he blurted out: "Grandma, I have good news for you." ”
"What?"
"I've already registered with early morning. Ji Yunyang said firmly, "In the future, no one will be able to break us apart." ”
"Married?" said Grandma's old and faint eyes, "Great, you're finally together." My old woman's heart has finally come to an end!"
She was overjoyed, and she was about to reach out to find something on her body and wanted to give it to Gong Qingchen, but now it was the time to rest at night, she was wearing pajamas, she didn't even have a pocket, and she didn't have anything at hand.
"Get up, all of you. In a hurry, the old lady thought of an ingenious idea, "Today, my old lady is happy and will personally cook a meal for you, which should be a meeting gift for our Yun family's granddaughter-in-law." ”
She said bold words, where did Gong Qingchen and Ji Yunyang dare to really let her cook, after all, it is boiling water and open fire here, and the old lady's eyes are not good, in case they accidentally touch each other, it will be a big event.
Gong Qingchen reached out and put a handful of noodles into the pot, stirred it with chopsticks, then closed the lid of the pot, and said, "Grandma, don't do it, the noodles will be ready immediately." You wait in the dining room, and I'll bring you a bowl later, so I should honor you. ”
The old lady looked at the kitchen, and there was really no place for her own intervention, so she had to smack her lips regretfully, and said, "Okay, you do it first, I'll go back to the room and see if I can find anything else for you." As he spoke, he staggered around and walked out.
Gong Qingchen was holding a bowl of egg liquid in his hand, and when he saw that the old lady had turned around, he hurriedly gave Ji Yunyang a look, and the latter understood, hurriedly put down the things in his hand and followed, holding one of his grandmother's arms.
Gong Qingchen turned down the heat of the noodles, followed a few steps forward, and watched the two of them open the bedroom door, and then relieved to go back to the kitchen to see how the noodles on the stove were cooking.
There is rice in the pot and a family at home, which is probably called happiness. Looking at the noodles tumbling in the pot, Gong Qingchen only felt that his heart was full of something.
