Chapter 15: Sunflower Seeds and Orange Candy

Lin Jiaming listened to his wife's words, and then looked at his daughter's aggrieved and dare not speak, not only did he not comfort his daughter, but also followed the preaching.

"Listen to your mother, you have to learn hard if you can't cook, how can you go out if you can't cook in the future? ”

Lin Zijiao understands that in Lin Jiaming's context, going out means going to other people's homes as guests, and in her previous life, her father Lin Jialiang often taught the children in the family to have rules, otherwise they will be laughed at by others when they go out.

Lin Zijiao nodded and agreed, picking up chopsticks to eat.

After eating this meal, Zheng Guihua's face has always been gloomy, looking very unhappy, and the atmosphere at the dinner table is a little more dull than yesterday.

After eating, Lin Zijiao cleaned up the table, remembered what Hao Nanren said about the tea party, and said timidly: "Mom, our school organizes a tea party today, I ...... I want to go. ”

Zheng Guihua's face was unhappy, and she wanted to say something and held back, but her face was a little gloomy.

She didn't reject Lin Zijiao's request, thought about it and said: "There are still some melon seeds in the cool room, take them out, let your sister fry them for you, and take some to eat at school." ”

That's agreed, right?

Lin Zijiao was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mom." ”

"Thank you, don't come to this set. Remember, when your sister comes back to fry you, don't stir up your own anger and spoil things!

Such a big woman, she can't even cook a meal, and she can be a very ......," Zheng Guihua said, put away the bowl, stood up and put it in the kitchen.

Lin Zijiao agreed, and took the initiative to wash the pots and bowls.

Lin Zishu came back in the afternoon, as usual, she fell asleep first, and when she fell asleep, Lin Zijiao said about the melon seeds, and Lin Zishu happily agreed: "Okay, my sister will fry you, and then put a small pocket for you." ”

The spatula flies over, and the sunflower seeds are stir-fried in the iron pot.

The pattern on the sunflower seeds gradually changes from black and white stripes to yellow and black stripes, and the unique fragrance of fried sunflower seeds gradually spreads.

Lin Zishu was concentrating on stir-frying sunflower seeds, Lin Zijiao was still a little puzzled by Zheng Guihua's anger at noon, and couldn't help but ask at this time.

"Sister, I steamed the cake today, but the alkali was too big, and it was steamed yellow. ”

"Oh, that's the alkali holding the dough, and it can't be released. Lin Zishu looked at the fire of the sunflower seeds intently, turned the shovel and asked with a smile: "Are you scolded again?"

Hearing the word Lin Zijiao understood, it seems that it is normal to be scolded if the meal is not cooked well.

She immediately smiled with relief: "Scolded, mixed male and female scolding, my mother told me not to do it, my father asked me to listen to my mother, otherwise I would be laughed at when I went out in the future." ”

Lin Zishu didn't have any unexpected emotions, smiled habitually, and didn't comfort his sister.

In Lin Zishu's opinion, there is nothing to consol about.

When she learned to cook, she was scolded a lot more than this, she had to be scolded when it was thick, she had to be scolded when it was thin, she had to be scolded when it was light, salty, soft and hard, and sometimes she had to be poked or slapped a few times by her mother.

Until now, if Lin Zishu's cooking does not suit Zheng Guihua's taste, he will also be scolded, and as for making other mistakes, it is common to be beaten.

How can there be parents in the world who don't beat their children?

After all, Zijin is the eldest in the family, and her mother won't scold her too much, so let her scold a few words. Because of Zijin's initial recovery from a serious illness, her mother hasn't scolded Zijin for several days, and it is estimated that it is very hard to endure.

When the sunflower seeds arrived, Lin Zishu brought down the pot, boiled water on the stove, put the sunflower seeds out, took out a small cloth bag not much bigger than a palm from the lying cabinet, filled half a bag of melon seeds, tied the pocket with the string sewn on the mouth of the bag, and handed it to Lin Zijiao.

"Zijiao, take it to school. ”

Lin Zijiao took the cloth bag that was still a little hot, nodded and agreed.

In these years, everyone has no money, and there is very little non-staple food, and the party organized by the class does not buy food.

The students each took some food from home, and when the time came, they mixed together, and there were many varieties, which were delicious.

Even until she went to middle school in later generations, she continued this kind of cheap practice at every party.

Lin Zishu looked at Lin Zijiao's appearance, pressed her in front of the mirror and sat down, helped her comb two pigtails, looked left and right and was a lot more satisfied, and then let her go.

"Okay, you go to school, but unfortunately you don't even know how to participate in the party, just sit and watch the excitement. ”

Lin Zijiao looked at himself in the mirror, his mood was much better, and he asked with a smile: "I just won't, sister, what will happen to you?"

Lin Zishu poked her finger with a smile: "I don't know how, but my brother can even do, he can play the accordion, play the harmonica, play the flute, and write with a good hand." ”

Lin Zijiao recalled the appearance of Lin Zilu in his previous life, and said with a smile: "My brother is still an all-round player." ”

"That's not it!" Lin Zishu looked proud.

……

……

At less than four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Zijiao put the sunflower seeds in his schoolbag and went out.

She didn't know how to get to No. 2 Middle School, and planned to ask others on the way.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zijiao didn't go far along the main road, stopped at the fork in the post office and looked left and right, and when he was about to find a passerby to ask for the way, there was a low shout not far ahead.

"Lin Zijin?"

The low voice was a little hoarse, somewhat familiar. Lin Zijiao followed the sound and looked over, and saw Hao Nanren who was freezing and constantly changing his feet.

In the current Lin Zijiao's view, Hao Nanren is a humanoid GPS navigator, and whenever he needs to ask for directions, he will automatically appear.

She was happy in her heart, and now she didn't need to ask for directions.

The two of them still maintained their morning status, walking one after the other.

"What did you bring?"

"My sister fried sunflower seeds for me. What about you?"

Hao Nanren smiled innocently: "I brought a few pieces of candy." ”

Lin Zijiao didn't know if the two were in the same class, so he couldn't ask more in order to avoid leakage, so he could only wait until he got to the school to see the situation.

The two of them walked through the street, bypassed the alley, and passed a railroad track to transport coal in the middle, and walked for about 20 minutes, and saw the school gate of No. 2 Middle School in the distance.

When he was still some distance away from the school gate, Hao Nanren suddenly stopped and turned around.

When Lin Zijiao approached, he took out a small paper bag from his pocket and stuffed it in her schoolbag: "This is for you to eat, don't take it out in the class." ”

Otherwise, she was eaten by her classmates, but he only brought it to her.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zijiao took a step back and did not answer the paper package: "I don't want it." ”

Hao Nanren looked at the students who came and went, and was a little impatient: "You can take it, this is the orange candy that my relatives brought from other places, it's delicious." ”
