In the late afternoon, Xiao Mu couldn't sit still anymore, didn't confiscate the pen and paper, threw it on the table and ran down.

ran to the door, stood for a long time, didn't know where to go, lingered at the door for a long time, and decided to find Zhang Laohan.

When I returned to the room, I grabbed a few handfuls of raw peanuts and put them in my pocket, and walked while eating peanuts, and came to an open place in the back mountain.

Although it doesn't feel like it's a small view of the mountains, you can see most of the nearby peaks, and the place where the village names work every day is in the low-lying valley.

The jingling of cowbells could be heard from afar, the occasional sound of the shepherd boy herding the cow, the grief-stricken screams of the calf who could not find the cow, and a few wisps of cooking smoke rising from the mountains and drifting into the sky, the green smoke from the burning of corn stalks by the village names.

Xiao Mu was confused by this scene, and refused to move for a long time, and when he reacted, the sunset had already reflected half of the sky.

There were few peanuts in his pocket, and the cold wind was gradually rising, Xiao Mu estimated that it had come to this point, should he go to Zhang Laohan or not? After hesitating for a long time, he still decided not to go to Zhang Laohan, first, because it was too late, and secondly, he was afraid that Zhang Laohan would say that he was not good at doing his homework, and he was not going to talk nonsense, so he went home.

The chickens have gathered at the door, waiting for the owner's feeding, went upstairs to get corn, sprinkled a field of golden corn, and the flock dispersed after eating.

But if I don't see Zhang Laohan come back, the fire will be lit, why don't you go cook first?

I picked up some dry firewood from the firewood room, took firewood from the hole in the wall, and started to make a fire for cooking.

But Xiao Mu has never learned to cook, so he can only rely on memory.

He scooped out the leftovers and put them in the lid of the pot, put them aside, and went to the house to thresh rice with the pot full of soot.

I thought I didn't know how many bowls of rice I should cook, so I first hit a bowl in, touched it with my hand, and felt that it was still not enough, and then I played half a bowl into it, but it still felt that it was not enough, and I continued to play half a bowl.

I thought that it should be enough at this time, and if I didn't have enough, I would eat less.

So I hurriedly ran to the canal to wash rice, and the rice cylinder lid was not covered, and the rice washing was also very sloppy, so I passed a few waters.

It's over now, I don't know how much water to put in, I remember that the old man often reaches out to measure the amount of water, so he also follows the old man's example and stretches out his fingers to measure.

I put the pitch-black aluminum pot on top of the steel stove, took a small stool and sat down, supporting my chin with both hands.

At this time, the mood is up and down, frightened, afraid that the amount is not enough, and afraid of what to do if the water is not suitable, undercooked or too hard, and I am very restless.

The water in the pot began to boil, and milky white blisters came out of the pot and fell low above the firewood, making a sizzling sound.

He took a rice spoon and scooped the pot in an attempt to stop the blisters from popping up, which was successful, and after some stirring, the blisters stopped beating.

What about the dish, what should I cook?

I went to look in the basket, but I didn't find any vegetables, so I simply stopped cooking, and waited for Zhang Laohan to come back after cooking the rice.

The pigs in the pigsty screamed, presumably hungry, looking at the pot and half a pot of pig food, but he couldn't reach the pig trough, so he could only watch the pigs bark.

The sun had already set, and when he remembered the jingle cowbell, Xiao Mu's first reaction was that Zhang Laohan was back, and he rushed forward to meet Zhang Laohan.

Sure enough, it was Zhang Laohan who came back, wearing a bamboo cloak, carrying a woven bag and a satchel, and holding a cane in his hand.

Excitedly, he hugged Zhang Laohan's hand, and said, "Grandpa, grandpa, I can cook, I have already cooked for you." ”

Zhang Laohan didn't want to believe it, and squinted at Xiao Mu, "Do you know how to cook?" Joke, the rice you cook is probably not edible." ”

This Xiao Mu is not his Xiao Mu, and he shook off Zhang Laohan's hand.

"Don't you believe it, if you don't believe it, go back and see, you don't want to eat dinner, like this. ”

Zhang Laohan didn't want to argue with Xiao Mu, so he ignored it.

As soon as he arrived at home, Zhang Laohan sat down to rest for a while, and asked slowly: "Xiao Mu, did you do your homework today, and how much did you do?" ”

It's embarrassing now, I said I was going to do my homework at home, and I didn't seem to do any homework today, so I wrote so much, and I played almost all day long.

But if you tell Zhang Laohan that you haven't done your homework, you can't say it, and it's definitely another scolding, if you don't say that you don't want to go in your heart, you don't want to deceive people.

After struggling for a long time without speaking, Zhang Laohan asked, "Hey, what about you, are you dumb or deaf." ”

In order to avoid being scolded by Zhang Laohan, Xiao Mu still decided to deceive Zhang Laohan, just once, so he said: "I did it, it's because I didn't see you come back in the afternoon, otherwise I wouldn't be too lazy to cook." ”

Zhang Laohan deliberately pretended to be indifferent and said, "Oh, you still think about it, and you know how to help us cook." ”

Xiao Mu felt that Zhang Laohan was very unreasonable, obviously kindly helping to cook but still didn't appreciate it, he was very angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

So I turned around and went back upstairs and continued my homework.

Finally, I can calm down and do my homework.

Writing and writing thoughts and desertion, why can't you calm down when no one is around, but as long as someone in the family is there, you can calm down and write your homework......

During the meditation, the fragrance of Zhang Laohan's stir-fried vegetables wafted through the window, the faint smell of meat, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

I don't know when, the old man's voice also came, Xiao Mu put away the homework book and hurriedly ran down.

He threw himself into the arms of the old man and said, "Grandma and grandma, I can cook, I cooked tonight's rice, you can eat more later." ”

The old man stretched out his hand and scratched Xiao Mu's nose, "You are a little naughty, you don't do your homework well, and you toss around all day long." ”

Xiao Mu lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "I did it, who said I didn't do it." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I won't tease you, you are becoming more and more sensible, and you will be obedient in the future." ”

Between the words, Zhang Laohan walked out of the kitchen and took a broken towel in his hand to wipe the water droplets in his hands.

Squinting at the smoke, he said, "Okay, okay, let's go wash our hands, it's time to eat." ”

Xiao Mu took the old man's hand and rushed to the side of the canal, and kept watering the old man's hand after washing.

Gleefully ran to the kitchen, and lifted the rice he had cooked from the fire, and bursts of water vapor came out through the cracks in the lid.

Xiao Mu stretched out his hand to open it, but Zhang Laohan stopped Xiao Mu.

"Hey, what's the matter, what's the hurry, let the gas fall first, otherwise if you open it immediately, the food will be very thin, and it won't taste good for a while." ”

Xiao Mu turned around and smirked at Zhang Laohan to hide his embarrassment.
