Luo Xinyi didn't go home directly, but went to the supermarket near her home first, she chose a chicken in the fresh area, and when she handed it over to the supermarket staff to deal with, she went to pick out a lot of other dishes......

When she got home, she changed into comfortable loungewear and tied the beautiful apron she had just bought, and Luo Xinyi began to prepare the New Year's dinner for herself......

She carefully washed the chicken pieces, cut the green onion and ginger into thin slices, then heated the pan, put oil, fried the ginger shreds until fragrant, and then put the chicken pieces......

Although I haven't made this dish for many years, every step is so natural and smooth, because this dish is Yang Xudong's favorite, and she has made it many times...... As the aroma of chicken gradually spreads through the room, all the details of the memory of the dish are revived......

On the New Year's Day of the first year of high school, when Luo Xinyi and Yang Xudong returned home, Yang's mother was about to go out and hurriedly greeted them: "You are back, my company has a trip in the past few days, so I will not accompany you at home." ”

Luo Xinyi noticed that what she said was "you are back", and there was a slight warmth in her heart, and Yang's mother did not completely regard her as an outsider.

Yang Xudong seemed to be accustomed to his parents often not being at home, so he only responded casually, and when Yang's mother was about to go out, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to them: "By the way, Nanny Aunt Liu has guests at home these three days, and she can't come over, so you two can eat out by yourself." After speaking, he gave Yang Xudong a stack of money and left in a hurry. Yang Xudong and Luo Xinyi were left looking at each other, that is, this New Year's Day, only the two of them were left.

Aunt Liu has been in the Yang family for several years, so she thought that only Yang Xudong and another child about the same age as him were left at home, and she was a little uneasy, so she deliberately boiled a few more soups when she was cooking in the afternoon, and when she left, she called Luo Xinyi to the kitchen and carefully told her where the soup and other food were placed, although she didn't expect Luo Xinyi to be able to cook, but girls are always a little better than boys. Luo Xinyi nodded and wrote it down attentively, while Yang Xudong, a young master who didn't care, lay on the sofa playing games.

The next morning, Luo Xinyi was woken up by a knock on the door, she always slept very deeply in this house, and there was always a slight snoring from other classmates in the dormitory, which made Luo Xinyi, who was tormented by that nightmarish year, often sleep poorly, only in this room, she could sleep peacefully until dawn. But she is still very sensitive to the knock on the door, when the first sound sounds, she wakes up from the dream, but when she sees the surroundings clearly, she relaxes and lies back on the bed, she is no longer in that terrible place, she is now in Yang Xudong's house. She suddenly reacted, jumped out of bed and ran over to open the door, and outside the door was an impatient face: "Why don't you get up so late!"

Luo Xinyi rubbed her eyes, she didn't go to school today, why did she have to get up so early!

Yang Xudong's face was a little unsightly: "Hurry up, I'm hungry." With that, he turned and went downstairs.

Luo Xinyi looked at his back, and was stunned for a while, he was hungry, what did this have to do with her not being able to get out of bed! But thinking of his impatient face, she still went to wash her face and brush her teeth slowly.

By the time she changed her clothes and went downstairs, Yang Xudong had lost her last patience: "Why are you so slow! I've been waiting for you for an hour, hurry up and cook." ”

"But I don't know how to cook. Luo Xinyi whispered. She hadn't cooked either, and although it was hell, she didn't need to do the housework.

Yang Xudong was dumbfounded, and then became angry: "Then what do I eat in the morning! Don't tell me to eat outside, since I was a child, they let me eat outside when I was busy, I was tired of it!"

Luo Xinyi blinked helplessly, and thought about it carefully: "Otherwise, let's cook some porridge, yesterday Aunt Liu said that there was mustard in the refrigerator." ”

Yang Xudong obviously felt that such a breakfast was too simple, but he had no better choice. "Then you hurry up and cook. ”

Luo Xinyi was stunned, she said "we", but now why is it her cooking alone, she glanced at the irritable Yang Xudong, snorted and entered the kitchen, now if he asks this young master to cook together, he will definitely be furious.

It's a girl in the end, and although I've never done it before, I can still cook simple porridge well. The white rice porridge was boiled finely, which made Yang Xudong a little surprised, and it is estimated that he thought he would drink a pot of paste.

After eating, the two of them could only sit together and watch TV, at that time there was no Internet, and there was no other entertainment program except TV. Luo Xinyi found that he couldn't watch TV with Yang Xudong at all, because he always changed the TV channel, and after watching each station for a few minutes, he became impatient, and he didn't know what program he wanted to watch.

Luo Xinyi simply stopped reading, turned upstairs and took the book, and sat in the corner of the sofa to read quietly. Yang Xudong was already bored to the extreme, grabbed the book, and saw the Chinese full of eyes: "What is this!"

"Two beats. Luo Xinyi replied simply.

"What a second beat!" Yang Xudong was puzzled.

"The second moment of the shooting is amazing. Luo Xinyi is strange, didn't he mention it in the extracurricular reading textbook of Chinese!

Yang Xudong threw the book back to Luo Xinyi in disgust: "I hate classical Chinese the most, and I don't care about it all day long, and I have a headache to learn." Why are you so old at such a young age!"

Luo Xinyi doesn't speak, living in such a purgatory, is it possible for her to be as carefree as everyone else!

Luo Xinyi's silence reminded Yang Xudong of that secret, and he began to feel guilty in his heart, but with his personality and unable to say anything to apologize, he pulled Luo Xinyi up: "Don't look at it, let's go to Jiang Yi and Liu Yaoyuan to play." ”

Luo Xinyi shook his hand away: "I don't want other classmates to know that I live in your house." ”

Yang Xudong sat back on the sofa in frustration, yes, it doesn't matter if Jiang Yi knows, but Liu Yaoyuan's young brain and his mouth that can't hold the door, he dares to guarantee that within three days, the scandal of his and Luo Xinyi's "cohabitation" will be all over the sky.

Luo Xinyi watched him rummage around on the sofa boringly, and carefully suggested: "Otherwise, you go and play with them, I'll stay at home." ”

Yang Xudong glanced at her: "Forget it." He was scared of her crying, and left her alone at home, what if she cried again!

So, for a whole morning, Yang Xudong spent the whole morning in extreme boredom. When eating at noon, Yang Xudong thought of the white rice porridge in the morning and looked forward to his lunch. But the lunch he saw was noodles. He was upset again: "I don't like to eat noodles. ”

Luo Xinyi was silent, she was not a chef, it was already very good to be able to cook the noodles well, she slowly went into the kitchen to bring out the hot chicken soup, scooped two spoonfuls into Yang Xudong's bowl, and mixed the condiments for him with her own feelings, and then began to mix noodles for herself.

Yang Xudong frowned and tasted it: "Hmm...... Actually, it tastes pretty good, and it seems that you still have a bit of talent for cooking. Luo Xinyi smiled and didn't speak.

Dinner was noodles again, but it was replaced by pork rib soup, and Yang Xudong complained: "I won't eat noodles again tomorrow." Luo Xinyi still didn't speak, Yang Xudong suddenly found that Luo Xinyi was really able to control him, he was at a loss when she cried, and she didn't speak anymore.

On the second day, Yang Xudong no longer wanted to eat noodles, he took Luo Xinyi to Xinhua Bookstore, the book they wanted to buy was - "Home Cooking Recipe", Luo Xinyi stubbornly flipped through the recipes, such a complex dish, it is also called simple home cooking!

However, Yang Xudong had already pointed to a certain dish and shouted: "I want to eat this." ”

Luo Xinyi leaned over to look at the book in his hand, that dish was the one she made today...... Braised chicken nuggets!

At that time, there was no supermarket, they could only go to the vegetable market, when they came to the live poultry area, the smell there almost made Luo Xinyi vomit, Yang Xudong also hated this unpleasant smell, it turned out, do you have to suffer so much to make a dish!

finally escaped from the vegetable market with the fluffed chicken and returned home, Yang Xudong immediately pushed Luo Xinyi into the kitchen: "I'm starving, you do it quickly." ”

Luo Xinyi was at a loss in the face of the chicken, where to start! She picked up the knife and slashed at the chicken thigh, but she only made a mark on the chicken, the chicken leg did not move at all, and her strength could not chop the chicken at all! She had to call Yang Xudong.

Yang Xudong looked impatient: "Why do you say you are so stupid, you can't even handle a chicken." ”

Luo Xinyi was silent, I didn't grow up in a slaughterhouse, why do I have to be able to get chickens. Besides, if it's not because of you, why would I stand here and can't get along with this chicken!

Yang Xudong's usual exercise was really not done in vain, his hand was up and down, and the whole chicken was chopped into chicken nuggets in three or two clicks, but the shape was extremely irregular and the size was extremely uneven.

Luo Xinyi followed the steps in the book and put the oil into the pot, but because she forgot to remove the water, the oil and water were heated together, and the splashed oil droplets fell onto her hands, making Luo Xinyi bite her lip tightly......

When the chicken was finally served, Yang Xudong couldn't wait to take the chopsticks, so he threw a piece directly into his mouth, grinning his teeth hotly, but shouting that it was delicious.

Luo Xinyi smiled and hid her burned hand behind her back......

…………

Suddenly, Luo Xinyi felt that the back of her hand was very painful, she looked down, and found that at some point, the chicken nuggets had been cooked, and she was unconsciously putting it on the plate, just now, it was a hot soup, splashed on her hands......

When the chicken nuggets were served, she took a piece and put it in her mouth, the soup was rich, the chicken was tender, and the fragrance of ginger and shallots was added...... No wonder, Yang Xudong always said that this was the best dish he had ever tasted......

In those years, she had hardly tasted this dish, just sitting on the side, watching Yang Xudong eat satisfied, she was no longer hungry......

Her tears dripped into the soup on the plate, dripping a pale golden lake of tears......

In the afternoon, Luo Xinyi received a call from Li Yuanming: "Xinyi, have you eaten!"

Luo Xinyi smiled and said in a cheerful tone, "I made myself the most delicious New Year's dinner." ”

Li Yuanming heard Luo Xinyi's voice, and his tone began to relax: "Are you very good at cooking!"

Luo Xinyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, but her tone was still brisk: "Of course, I'll make it for you when you come back." She couldn't tell Li Yuanming that her cooking skills were made for another person.

Li Yuanming chatted with her for a while, and hung up the phone with confidence, she was fine.

In the evening, Luo Xinyi sat on the sofa, eating the vanilla ice cream she bought in the supermarket in the morning, while watching the increasingly boring Spring Festival Gala.

There was always the sound of crackling firecrackers downstairs, and she remembered that the news a few days ago said that during the Spring Festival this year, the ban on fireworks and firecrackers in the city was lifted.

In that city in my hometown, I don't know if I can set off firecrackers this year......

In that warmest Spring Festival, before the bell rang at zero o'clock, Yang's mother went upstairs and took down a cardboard box......

In the courtyard of the Yang family, Yang's mother leaned against the door, smiling softly as she and Yang Xudong set off fireworks. She was timid and didn't dare to light the fire, but Yang Xudong dragged her over, held her hand and lit the fire, and after lighting the fire, he quickly ran away, leaving Luo Xinyi, who couldn't react, was stunned in place, fireworks erupted, Luo Xinyi screamed and ran away, in exchange for Yang Xudong's hilarious laughter, she was so angry that she chased after him and pulled his ears, but Yang Xudong ran too fast and she couldn't catch it, so she had to stomp her feet to find Yang's mother to complain......

Luo Xinyi's eyes were filled with smiles, the fireworks that night were really beautiful, drawing the most beautiful patterns in the night sky, and writing happiness in everyone's hearts......

The clock had already struck zero o'clock, Luo Xinyi walked downstairs and joined the ranks of the children who set off fireworks, she picked up one of the familiar fireworks and asked the little girl next to her: "This, what's the name!"

"Fire Tree Honeysuckle. The little girl's voice was crisp.

She remembered the name, it was the first fireworks she had lit Chinese New Year's Eve big ......

"Can you let me do some of this?" she asked the child next to her with a smile.

The little girl looked at her carefully, and it seemed that she didn't think this aunt was annoying, so she nodded: "Okay, I don't dare to let it go anyway, so I'll give it to you." ”

Luo Xinyi smiled and said thank you, this time, she didn't cover her ears, let alone scream, she lit the fire and calmly stepped aside......

Brilliant fireworks lit up her eyes......

Mother Yang, Xudong, at this time, are you also watching the fireworks of happiness......
