Chapter 15: Disputes
Lin Xi carried a stack of books, walked with Chu Sheng on the way to the clinic, and asked Chu Sheng: "Let's have dinner at Dr. Song's house in the evening! I'll put the books back, talk to everyone, and come over to cook again." Chu Sheng was still sullen, and Lin Xi stroked his head. Chu Sheng nodded reluctantly.
Doctor Xiao Song looked at the meat in Chu Sheng's hand, his heart was overjoyed, and he took it unceremoniously and said, "Yo! What a good day today, add vegetables! I'll go wash and wash up, and I'll get a few more dishes later, and have a good meal." "Dr. Song doesn't have such a thick skin, and he wants to refuse. Lin Xi said: "I just bought such a point, if I take it back to eat it, that is, one piece per person, to be honest, I can't bear it, just eat it with you." I can still get a few more pieces. Doctor Song thought about this reason, so he no longer refused, and told Lin Xi not to bring other things over. Lin Xi nodded yes, and returned to the Zhiqing Point with the book.
A few young people in the Zhiqing Point roasted sweet potatoes around the stove, and the fragrance wafted all over the yard. Lin Xi came back with a stack of books, everyone saw it, and some educated youths joked with Lin Xi, saying that Lin Xi had moved the bookstore back. Lin Xi also laughed with everyone, and then said, "I have something to do today, so I won't eat with everyone." Yuan He glanced at Lin Xi and said, "Okay, then you come back early, it's too late and it's not safe." Lin Xi responded and turned around to leave. Wang Xiaozhen opened his mouth: "Lin Xi is gone, who will burn the fire?" Lin Xi was stunned when he heard this, and looked back at Wang Xiaozhen. Wang Xiaozhen looked back at Lin Xi coldly, and Lin Xi asked, "What do you mean by this? Now the fire should be contracted by me, even if I don't eat here, I can't leave until I finish my work?"
Han Meifang stood up: "Lin Xi, burning the fire has always been your business, I helped you burn it at noon today, and you don't work at night, isn't it a bit too much." ”
Lin Xi was very angry, and said with a calm face: "We all take turns cooking here, and everyone has a day off." But because I injured my hand, it was inconvenient to stir-fry, and I didn't want to trouble everyone to take care of me, so I insisted on burning the fire every day. Originally, I wanted everyone to get along politely, but now this matter has become a matter of course. If that's the case, I won't be able to go out in the future, or we won't be able to cook here. ”
Wang Xiaozhen saw Han Meifang helping her speak, and she was even more confident: "Originally, you are your business, and you are lazy and you don't allow others to say a few words." Han Meifang glanced at Wang Xiaozhen, very satisfied with Wang Xiaozhen's cleverness, and turned her head to say something to Lin Xi.
Fang Chuanzhi stopped Han Meifang: "Han Zhiqing, Xiaolin has never troubled everyone these days, and it is very hard to burn the fire every day, and she has not rested for a day until now. Didn't you keep saying that we should value harmony in our educated youth? Today I'm here to light the fire and let Xiaolin rest for a day. ”
Liu Xia also opened her mouth: "Lin Xi, if you have something, go ahead, we are here." Lin Xi was holding back his anger, but when Fang Chuanzhi and Liu Xia said it, the anger in his heart disappeared a lot, smiled at the two, said hello to the others and left.
Out of the door, Lin Xi lowered his head and thought about what happened just now, he and Han Meifang and Wang Xiaozhen had already fallen out, and there would inevitably be various problems in getting along in the future, if only he could leave here. Lin Xi lowered his head and thought about things, but he didn't notice that a figure flashed at the door of the courtyard of the educated youth.
In the kitchen in the backyard of the health room, Dr. Song was busy. Doctor Song was washing vegetables in the yard, and when he heard the sound of the wooden shovel falling on the ground, Doctor Song's hand washing vegetables stopped for a moment, and shouted loudly: "If you don't know how to burn it, just put it away, and let Lin Zhiqing get it later." Doctor Song replied: "Don't speak, I will be distracted as soon as you speak, don't blame me for the burnt vegetables." Doctor Song was speechless, what does talking have to do with stir-frying, his own level is poor, and he complains about others.
After being quiet for a while, Dr. Song thought about it and still felt sorry for that piece of good pork belly, so he couldn't help it, and said again: "Leave the meat to Lin Zhiqing, don't mess with things." "He knows his son's level of cooking, a little better than him, it's good to be able to cook the dishes, and the taste is really not flattering.
There was another "bang" in my ears, and I don't know what fell again. Doctor Song just wanted to go and have a look, Lin Xi came in, and Doctor Song finally looked forward to a savior, urging Lin Xi: "You hurry up and take a look, Xiao Song won't burn, it's a waste of things." Lin Xi rushed into the kitchen in a hurry, the stove was in a mess, Dr. Song was sweating on his forehead, and his hurried appearance made Lin Xi amused.
After driving away Dr. Xiao Song, Lin Xi began to cook. Cut the meat into small pieces, blanch to remove the smell, then pour the dirty water, clean the meat pieces, put a little oil in the pot, stir-fry, add various seasonings and rock sugar, and cook slowly. Put rice and water in another pot and boil a pot of rice. The whole movement was smooth and smooth, and I took time to clean up the stove. Doctor Xiao Song touched his nose and said, "It's better for you, I'm really not familiar with this job." Lin Xi said while washing the rag: "It's all a trivial matter, and I'm not good." Doctor Xiao Song smiled and asked, "Chu Sheng went to look for you, did you see him?" ”
Lin Xiyi frowned: "No, how long has he been going? Did he run away?" At this moment, Chu Sheng came back and stood at the kitchen door looking at the two of them.
Lin Xi beckoned him: "Where have you been?" I originally wanted you to help light the fire, but this time I let Dr. Song do the work. Chu Sheng just coping and said that he came back without finding his sister.
Lin Xi didn't think much about it, and when the fragrance of braised pork wafted in the courtyard, Tang Jianguo came in, smelled the fragrance, and shouted: "Oh! Doctor Song, the little life is very comfortable." ”
Entering the house and seeing Lin Xi, Tang Jianguo was stunned for a moment, and then greeted Lin Xi. Doctor Song smiled and said, "It's really a dog, I just got something good, and you came." Today Lin Zhiqing bought meat and ate it with us. Come on, count yourself in. ”
Lin Xi hurriedly greeted Tang Zhishu: "Uncle, it's a coincidence, sit down and eat." ”
Tang Jianguo was a little embarrassed, he was familiar with Doctor Song, and he ate a little, but he didn't think it was good to eat Lin Xi's things, and he couldn't resist everyone's warm invitation, so he stayed.
Lin Xi fried two dishes, Dr. Xiao Song cooked an egg soup, and the dishes on the table were also rich, and several people sat down to eat. Lin Xi sandwiched a piece of meat for Chu Sheng and said to everyone: "Try my craftsmanship and see if it suits your taste." "Dr. Xiao Song tasted a piece, the braised pork was shiny and shiny, the color was ruddy, the meat was fragrant with a faint sweet fragrance, and the entrance was even softer. Doctor Xiao Song squinted his eyes and felt the rich taste in his mouth, Chu Sheng lowered his head and took a bite and savored it carefully. After Tang Jianguo finished eating a piece, he commented: "Lin Zhiqing, this skill is better than the chef in the town, I have never eaten such a delicious braised pork, I have to have another piece." The two Song doctors also nodded.
Everyone said yes, Lin Xi was very happy, and said to Chu Sheng: "Do you like to eat?" Chu Sheng smiled at Lin Xi with sauce on his lips. Lin Xi took out a handkerchief and helped Chu Sheng wipe the oil stains from his mouth. This scene fell in Tang Jianguo's eyes, and his gaze swept over Chu Sheng and Lin Xi, and finally opened his mouth.
"Chu Sheng, I came to look for you today because of something, you are also older, and you have your own ideas for some things. I've been looking for someone to adopt you recently, but you're really this matter, I've found a lot of people, but there aren't many suitable people. I just want to ask, what kind of family do you want to find?"
Chu Sheng's hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and he looked at Tang Jianguo with a nervous expression, and everyone put down the chopsticks and looked at Chu Sheng. At this moment, Chu Sheng's heart was extremely confused, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to say. In the end, Chu Sheng turned his head to look at Lin Xi, his wet eyes full of begging. Lin Xi saw the helpless sadness in the child's eyes, as if the little milk dog who was about to be abandoned was making a final begging, begging the master not to abandon him.
Lin Xi couldn't bear to look directly into such eyes, lowered his eyes, and avoided Chu Sheng's gaze. Chu Sheng felt that his heart was cold, and his eyes full of anticipation gradually dimmed, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It's okay, if someone wants me, it's okay." ”
The people at the table were silent, and all the food lost its aroma. Lin Xi knew in her heart that she was Chu Sheng's only hope, she twisted her fingers again and again, and finally opened her mouth: "Actually, I am willing to adopt Chu Sheng, but my current situation is not suitable for adopting a child." ”
Tang Jianguo was happy in his heart, this was also the reason why he mentioned this matter at the dinner table, he felt that Lin Xi was kind in his heart and would teach children, although she was young, she was a steady girl, if she came to take care of Chu Sheng, he would be relieved.
Chu Sheng raised his head, his eyes flashing with a sparkling light. Tang Jianguo understood the child's mind and said, "Lin Zhiqing, if you think there is any problem, just say it, and let's find a way to solve it together." ”
Lin Xi raised his concerns. The biggest problem is that there is no house. It is impossible for her to bring Chu Sheng to live in Zhiqing Point, there are already conflicts with other people, and if Chu Sheng lives in them, the contradictions will definitely intensify. Tang Jianguo thought for a while and said, "If you rent a house in the village, you pay some rent, are you willing?"
Lin Xi didn't expect this, and then nodded, her heart beat wildly, if she could leave the Zhiqing Point, she couldn't ask for it. Tang Jianguo saw this situation and knew that most of the matter had become a big deal, and then he told Lin Xi that the Chu family only needed ten yuan, which was counted as Chu Sheng's living expenses for ten years. Lin Xi responded, and the next thing went smoothly, Lin Xi only made one request, that is, the Chu family should write a certificate of dissolution of the custody relationship, and the branch secretary would help to testify.
Tang Jianguo looked at Lin Xi and said in his heart: This girl looks not very old, she is old, she is old-fashioned, and she also knows how to write documents and testify. However, these are reasonable requirements, Tang Jianguo negotiated the matter, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, Chu Sheng was even more excited, his wish was finally achieved, and God finally favored him.
