Chapter 8: Watermelon rind soup

Tang Hao drove the car back home, and as soon as he entered the house, he shouted, "What's wrong with Tang Ming's brain?"

Tang Ming was in the living room cutting the watermelon piece by piece, peeling off the skin of the melon and then cutting it into small pieces, when he heard the voice and looked up and glared at Tang Hao, who had just entered the door, shouting loudly.

"Dad, what do you think is wrong with my brain?"

Li Lu and Aunt Zhang quietly stood at the kitchen door and looked at Tang Ming, Li Lu saw Tang Hao, she quickly put her hand to her mouth and made a silent movement, and pointed at Tang Ming again.

Tang Hao just glanced at Tang Ming, and he didn't know what Tang Ming was doing there, so he didn't see anything wrong with Tang Ming's brain.

If he could see clearly that Tang Ming was cutting the watermelon skin, then he wouldn't have to shout and ask Tang Ming what was wrong with his brain.

"I didn't say your brain, I meant if I wanted to buy you a hat. Tang Hao said with a smile.

"Thank you Dad, don't buy it, I have a lot of hats, don't waste money. ”

Tang Hao really didn't expect that the words wasting money would come out of Tang Ming's mouth, when did Tang Ming say such a thing as wasting money.

Tang Ming would only pick the most expensive and extravagant ones when buying things, and he never knew the word wasting money.

Tang Hao already felt that Tang Ming's brain was indeed problematic.

Tang Hao walked towards the kitchen, he had just walked into the kitchen, and Li Lu hurriedly closed the kitchen door.

"What's so mysterious that it's still closed?"

Tang Hao's smiling expression made Li Lu's nervous face even more nervous.

"Do you think Xiao Ming has a problem with his brain?" Li Lu glanced at the living room and whispered.

"I heard Xiao Ming say just now, don't waste, the word don't waste shouldn't come from Xiao Ming's mouth! Except for Aunt Zhang, who occasionally says the word don't waste, no one else will say the word don't waste. ”

"Yes, yes, Xiao Ming's brain doesn't know what's going on now, and he puts the word don't waste on his lips at every turn. He also said that Aunt Zhang made too many dishes today, and he asked us not to cook for the next ten days, just eat those leftovers. ”

"What? There's really something wrong with his brain, when did our family eat surplus food?"

Aunt Zhang also glanced at the direction of the living room and said, "Xiao Ming ate leftovers yesterday." ”

"Wasn't he picky before, and now he even eats leftovers?"

Li Lu said: "So I said that Xiao Ming has a problem with his brain, and I urgently called you back!"

"It's not a big problem to eat leftovers, let him eat if he likes to eat!" Tang Hao said helplessly.

"The problem is that not only does he want to eat it himself, but he also wants us to eat it too, and he also says that he will not cook for the next ten days, and that it is enough to eat those leftovers. ”

"Ahh

Eating leftovers from ten days?

"Xiao Ming also wants me to dry those watermelon rinds and use them to cook soup and eat!"

Aunt Zhang, a post-50s generation, has never eaten watermelon rind to make soup, and she can't understand how Tang Ming thought of using watermelon rind to make soup.

It's good to be thrifty, but it's too economical to cook soup with watermelon rinds!

"I never thought that watermelon rind could be used as soup? Tang Hao said with a smile.

"You are still laughing, wait for Xiao Ming to make soup with watermelon rind for you to eat, see if you can still laugh. ”

Li Lu glared at Tang Hao angrily, Tang Hao immediately put his smile back, and his face changed in seconds.

Whoever makes him angry can't make his wife angry.

The consequences of making Madame angry are serious!

"Alas! Xiao Ming's brain almost died, how did his brain become so economical? I really don't understand, he has never suffered a person, how could he think of saving? It is so strange that he wants to eat watermelon rind. ”

Tang Hao pondered with a calm face, but he really couldn't think of any reason.

"That's why I'm looking for you to go home, think about why quickly? Hurry up and cure Xiao Ming's problem, I don't want to eat leftovers and eat watermelon rinds." ”

Li Lu lost her appetite when she wanted to eat the leftovers of ten days, and the thought of eating watermelon skin soup almost came out of her hunger strike.

"What can I do? I can't tell him that our family has money, and we don't have to eat leftovers, let alone watermelon rinds. ”

Tang Hao had a bitter face, he really couldn't understand how Tang Ming had only experienced life and death once, how his heart had changed so much.

A man of extreme luxury suddenly becomes a man of extreme frugality.

That's a big change!

"Yes, I'll tell Xiao Ming like this to you. Li Lu said happily.

"Why don't you say it?"

"I usually teach Xiao Ming to be frugal, he spends money so lavishly, and the mountains will let him spend it all. How embarrassed am I to tell him now, our family has money and doesn't need to eat leftovers, and we don't need to eat watermelon rinds. ”

After Li Lu finished speaking, Aunt Zhang hurriedly said: "Mrs. is right! My wife and I usually taught Xiao Ming to be thrifty, but now that he is thrifty, how can we be embarrassed to tell Xiao Ming not to be thrifty." ”

"Oh, I understand why Xiao Ming has become so frugal now, it must be that he remembered the most words you usually say to him at the moment of life and death, so now that he is alive, he will do what you usually teach him. ”

Tang Hao looked at Li Lu and Aunt Zhang as if he had just woken up from a dream, as if he was looking at the two culprits.

Li Lu opened the door and pushed Tang Hao out of the kitchen, and whispered, "Don't grind around here, you hurry up and throw those watermelon rinds to me." ”

Good men don't fight with women, Tang Hao strode towards the living room, didn't he just throw watermelon skins?

"Xiao Ming, what are you doing?" Tang Hao looked at the pile of watermelon rinds, and couldn't imagine what it was like to make soup with watermelon rinds.

It must be bitter and astringent, and you may not be able to eat it for ten days after being hungry.

"I'm getting ready to dry watermelon rinds, watermelon rinds are good! When there is no food, you can take them out to make soup to satisfy your hunger. ”

Tang Hao looked at Tang Ming's serious face, it didn't seem like a joke at all.

Did Xiao Ming think that his family was going bankrupt, had no money, and was going to live a hard life?

Tang Hao found the crux of the problem, his tied face finally smiled, he felt that he could solve the problem.

"Xiao Ming, you weren't like this before, you used to be extravagant, and now you are so frugal, do you think that your family is going bankrupt and your family has no money?"

"No, no, I just think people should be frugal, don't waste food because they have money, that's not good. ”

Tang Ming knew that no matter what he said, others didn't believe that there was a ten-year-old little Tang Ming who lived in ancient times.

Tang Ming didn't want to be imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital by others as a mental patient.

Tang Ming wants to find a way to help the little Tang Ming in ancient times live a prosperous life in ancient times, and he wants to live in a big house.

Tang Hao was thinking in his heart about how to change Tang Ming's mind, how to make him give up eating watermelon rinds and eating leftovers.

"Thrift is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, but from a medical point of view, eating leftovers is unhealthy. ”

"Dad, what you said is not quite right, it should be said that spoiled food may not be good after eating, but we now have refrigerators, and food is unlikely to spoil when placed in the refrigerator, and we will never cause harm to the human body after eating. ”

Tang Hao really didn't know when Tang Ming's eloquence became so good, and he couldn't refute it when he said it one by one.

It is true that food will not spoil when kept in the refrigerator.

Forget it, don't argue with him about leftovers, cook a little less food at each meal in the future, try to eat as much as possible, and this problem will be solved.

Now it's just the problem of the watermelon rind, no matter what, I have to convince Xiao Ming to lose the watermelon rind.

Tang Hao thought for a while and said, "Xiao Ming is right, the leftovers are still edible if they haven't spoiled." But can you lose the watermelon rind in your hand, and who else eats watermelon rind in today's society? Speaking of which, others still think that our family is bankrupt and poor enough to eat watermelon rind. ”

Tang Ming listened to his father's words, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and saw the little Tang Ming in ancient times again.
