Zhou Jiguo finished the things explained by his eldest sister and walked home happily.

It's the weekend, and there are noticeably more people in the family area than usual. Although it was already noon, there were still a few old men who gathered together and squatted in the corner to chatter.

"Yo, Xiao Zhou is back, and he doesn't stop on the big weekend, are you still busy?" A middle-aged man who knew Zhou Jiguo greeted him warmly from afar.

"It's Uncle Zhao, I'm not busy, my sister asked me to go out to buy something, why don't you just go out." Zhou Jiguo also greeted with a smile.

Although he has been living here for two months, he only comes back for one day every weekend, and before that, he used to go to the mountains every week to chop wood, so he really didn't spend much time in this family area, so he didn't know many neighbors.

The neighbor who talked to him, the two had only spoken a few times before, and they were not too familiar, Zhou Jiguo only knew that his surname was Zhao, and he also lived in this family area, so he didn't know anything else.

And the few men squatting in the corner, he also knew this Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao saw that he was carrying a shriveled cloth bag in his hand, thinking that he had not bought anything when he went out, and felt some sympathy for him in his heart, after all, he was from the countryside, and it was not so easy to live in the city.

"Haha, it's late, it's okay, I'll be able to buy it next time I go early. He also gave a word of comfort.

Zhou Jiguo looked at him and looked at his hands, he also looked down, and saw the empty bag in his hand, and then he understood that people had misunderstood.

He said in passing: "Yes, it's really inconvenient to buy something here, you have to grab everything." ”

"That's better than not having to grab it. Another squatting old man interjected.

Zhou Jiguo glanced at him and didn't say anything.

"Then Uncle Zhao, you are busy, I'll go home first. He felt that the person who had just spoken was not a good match, so it was better to have less of them.

"Yes, yes, we're going home too, we're going to have lunch. Uncle Zhao always smiled.

Zhou Jiguo greeted a few people and walked to his house.

"I don't know whose house it is, what it's made of, it's so fragrant. He had barely walked a few steps when he heard the men behind him whispering.

"It must be meat, or it can't be so fragrant. ”

"That's not necessarily, I smell the oil strongly, I guess it's so fragrant that a lot of oil has been poured in. ”

"Whose family is this loser, cooking is so oily, the second half of the month is not enough. ”

Zhou Jiguo also shook his nose and sniffed twice, this smell is very familiar, he subconsciously quickened his pace, and his eldest sister fried quails again.

When he pushed open the door of his house, he saw that the eldest sister and Fu Lei were standing in the yard to fry quails.

Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and there is an incubation bucket in Zhou Sining's house that does not stop burning all the time, and it is too hot to put the stove in the house, so now the stove is placed on the edge of Zhou Sining's house in the yard.

Otherwise, you can't cook something delicious at home, and you can smell the fragrance in half of the family area.

Fu Lei was still beside him and said: "Xiao Zhou, this, this, okay, it's definitely good, you see that the color has changed, hurry up and fish it out, or it won't taste good if it's old." ”

"It's okay, it's not delicious, I'll eat it. Zhou Sining is already very experienced in dealing with this situation. She also glanced at the two he was referring to, and sure enough, the two had just gone down for a while, and now they took out and took a bite and estimated that the flesh would be bloodshot.

This man is like a savage when he is in a hurry.

"Actually, I'm not a picky eater at all, I can do it when I'm old and young. Fu Lei knew that he had said the wrong thing, I was afraid that Xiao Zhou would be angry, this fried quail at noon today had no share of his own, so he hurriedly whispered and made up a sentence like a little daughter-in-law.

"Then stand far away, don't get in the way, you can eat whatever I fry." Zhou Sining said very politely, this person has not been idle since she started to put up the pot, either this thing is that, she doesn't understand, why does a big man talk so much.

If this person wasn't the male protagonist's friend, she would definitely have been rolled out with a kick that she couldn't stand a long time ago.

Fu Lei looked at Xiao Zhou, and then at the quails that were churning in the oil pot, and finally moved back a small step aggrieved.

"Look at you, don't get angry, I'm not thinking about the heat of the oil pot, don't burn you, I'll give you a beating. Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Zhou glaring at him again, and he immediately confessed, "Okay, okay, don't stare at me, I'll retreat, can't I retreat." ”

"If you're okay, go to the door to see if Jiguo has come back, and we'll have dinner when he comes back. Zhou Shining was going to take him away, but these few quails, which were inked by him, have not been blown up yet.

Hehe, she's angry, and whether the quail is good or not has nothing to do with other people's ink.

Fu Lei was a little reluctant, there were three or four of his quails in the pot, and he didn't feel at ease if he didn't look at them.

"Sister, I'm back. Zhou Jiguo stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted.

The two of them were so focused on arguing that he, a big living person, had been standing here for a while, and they hadn't noticed.

"Ah, Jiguo, you're back!" Fu Lei turned his head to see Zhou Jiguo, the expression on his face was happy at first, but the next second it immediately became wrinkled.

"What's the matter, you're not happy when I come back!" Zhou Jiguo closed the courtyard door tightly, and then walked into the courtyard.

"Not really. You can start dinner when you come back, how can I not be happy. Fu Lei's expression was not as happy as he said, he was really happy at first, but immediately thought that if he came back, he would have to eat one less quail, and he couldn't be happy.

Zhou Sining's sister and brother didn't know his arduous mental journey, Zhou Sining glanced back at Zhou Jiguo, focusing on the empty cloth bag he was carrying, seeing that it was deflated, he was happy, and his tone was also cheerful, "It's really time for you to come back, start eating immediately, wash your hands quickly, and we'll eat in a while." ”

As she spoke, the fence in her hand had already been fished out of the pot and a few quails inside, she took a look at it and made sure it was cooked, so she shook the fence in her hand vigorously, shook off the excess oil on it, and then took the plate handed over by Fu Lei and put the quail on the plate.

A few minutes later, the three of them sat around the dining table and prepared to eat.

Today's lunch meal was still very hearty, in addition to fried quail, she also fried a small plate of peanuts and sprinkled with a little sugar.

The vegetables are not fresh, because in this season, the vegetables have not come down, so Zhou Sining's stewed potatoes with dried beans are full of a large pot, and the last one is cold vegetables, mixed with shredded carrots, shredded potatoes and shredded dried tofu.

The staple food is two rice, which is also a full pot.

"Alright, don't look at it, let's eat. ”

This has become a habit, every time they eat, Zhou Jiguo and Fu Lei have to wait for Zhou Sining to sit at the table together before starting, making her seem to have become a patriarch, but she understands in her heart that these two people respect her so much because they covet her good cooking skills.
