Night Sixty-Four: Bean Festival
Li Yun, an ordinary name, her original life would be as ordinary as her name.
Ordinary study, life, graduation and then work.
When he reached the age, he was pulled out by his family on a blind date, and found a suitable person to marry and have children.
After giving birth to a child, she took care of the children and the elderly at home with peace of mind, watched her children grow up slowly, and then embarked on a life path similar to hers.
Originally, she thought that her life would be like this......
However, she met someone in her most torturous year of high school.
A stubborn person who has been with her and loved her for many years.
It stands to reason that with such a person with her, she should be married at her age, but ...... Not really.
She rejected the man's marriage proposal more than once, and the end result was always that she was compromising because she was soft-hearted.
Li Yun herself also knows that going on like this is not a way, she is a big drag, and he will definitely live better without her.
She was now in a very cozy room that was furnished, and everything in the room was brought back little by little by the same person and laid out.
Directly opposite her was a window, through which she could see a small sky and gray residential buildings.
Looking at the red clouds burning in the sky, Li Yun felt that it was almost five or six o'clock in the afternoon at this time, but she was not particularly sure.
She looked at the scenery outside the window for a long time, day after day, year after year, except for the occasional change due to the weather or the season, everything was fixed.
"Knock-knock-!" there was a knock on the door behind Li Yun, and she was silent without speaking.
After three knocks on the door, it stopped, and a man's voice came from outside the door, "Yunyun, I'm in." Then the light brown wooden door was opened.
Behind the door was a man with a small table with a bowl of steaming pork ribs and corn soup, a plate of garlic lettuce, a braised pork tofu and a bowl of white rice.
After the man walked in, he first put down the small table in front of Li Yun, and then turned around and went back to close the door.
The man who closed the door moved a folding chair and sat beside Li Yun.
The man reached out and picked up the soup bowl on the table, scooped up a spoonful, and after waiting for it to be not particularly hot, he reached out and fed it to Li Yun's mouth, and he talked to her while feeding Li Yun the soup.
"Yunyun, I'm about to be promoted, when I'm promoted, how about we go out on a trip together and celebrate?" Li Yun let the man say, always silent.
The man was not angry, he was used to it, put down the soup bowl that he had drunk most of it, picked up the rice bowl with vegetables, and carefully fed Li Yun spoonful by spoonful.
"Then save up for this celebration as well, and we'll go when you want to go. ”
"When I passed by the square when I got off work, I saw a stage set up over there, like I was going to have a party, should we go and have a look?"
"I'll tell you...... The entrance of the store I frequented has recently been occupied by cats, there are a lot of cats, do you want to go with me?"
"The spider plants and succulents at home are too fierce, Yunyun, let's divide them into pots, right?"
"Yun Yun ......," the man just called out and Li Yun's nickname was interrupted by Li Yun.
She sat in a wheelchair and looked at the window not far away, "Is it interesting to serve me like this every day......?"
The man was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face was a little strange, as if he was smiling and like he was about to cry, he put down the bowl in his hand and squatted in front of Li Yun.
He took her cold and pale hands with his thick and warm hands.
"Yunyun, you're finally willing to pay attention to me......" Tears welled up in the man's eyes, but he kept them from letting them out.
Li Yun retracted her gaze and looked out the window and slowly looked down at the man, looking at the man's face that had become a little red because she wanted to hold back her tears, she suddenly wanted to laugh.
Men have always been optimistic and laughing in her memory, but when did men stop smiling so much?
"Interesting. She asked again.
"Yes!"
"Aren't you tired, aren't you dirty? Why don't you dislike me?"
The man touched Li Yun's cold hands, they were cold, he simply lowered his head and warmed her hands seriously, "Not tired, not dirty, why should I dislike you if you are my girlfriend?"
Li Yun looked at his serious eyes and suddenly smiled, "Today's dish is not very delicious, I want to eat sweet and sour lotus root slices, how is the cat in that store really good?"
The squatting man was really stunned this time, and he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
The man who jumped up from the ground suddenly looked at Li Yun in surprise, "Yun...... Yunyun, you said you want to eat sweet and sour lotus root slices? Do you want to see cat ?!!?"
Li Yun nodded slightly, "En." Without waiting for the man to calm down completely, she threw out a sentence again, "Let's find a time for us to get married." ”
The man was completely shocked by Li Yun's words behind him, and finally he covered his face with his hands and opened the door and rushed into the bathroom.
Li Yun was amused by the man's reaction again, the man has not changed at all, he is still the same as before, he has just been forced to restrain and suppress by life in the past few years.
The man stayed in the bathroom for more than half an hour, and then he floated back with a dreamy face, he sat on the folding chair and looked at Li Yun intently, "Yunyun, I really ...... I'm not dreaming......"
"Well, it's not a dream. ”
"Haha~!Then we'll go out right away!" the man smiled like a big child, and his steps were cheerful as he prepared to go out.
However, by the time the man finished packing up everything and took Li Yun out, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
The man pushing the wheelchair all the way was enthusiastically talking to her about his future plans, and his future was full of Li Yun.
As soon as he arrived at the food stall, Li Yun's attention was grabbed by the cats of all sizes crawling with advertising signs, and what he heard was the voice of Da Li announcing that he was his wife.
After Da Li finished ordering, he pushed Li Yun to the advertising light board.
Li Yun looked at those cats with different postures, and her whole heart was about to soften, what she couldn't stand the most was this kind of soft and cute creature.
"I ...... Can you touch it......" Her fingers on her thighs flicked slightly.
Da Li thought about it and squatted down, picked up a chubby orange cat and carefully placed it on Li Yun's knee.
Li Yun's hands were suddenly surrounded by the cat's soft and fluffy fur.
The cat, perhaps sensing the coldness of her hands, stood up and wrapped her tail around herself, before lying down again.
Li Yun carefully moved her fingers to gently touch the orange cat's hair, her hand was just under the cat's belly, and she only felt warm and velvety.
The warm and soft fur gave Li Yun a peculiar feeling.
Then she spent all her time waiting for the meal on the cat lying on her lap.
Da Li squatted on the side and looked at Li Yun with a relaxed and warm face with a smile.
The two of them didn't do anything intimate, but Ah Zhai, who was sitting not far away, always felt that he was being stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, which was sweet.
"Whew~!" Ah Zhai, who was sitting on a stool holding the computer and eating plums, suddenly screamed.
Huo Bai put out the fried sweet and sour lotus root slices, "What's the strange name......
Ah Zhai covered his cheeks with his hands and looked at Huo Bai with tears in his eyes, "Hiss~ ...... tooth"
Huo Bai glanced at the jar used to pickle plums in her arms, and snorted coldly, "You deserve it, eat so much at once, if you don't lose your teeth, who will lose your teeth." ”
Ah Zhai hummed quietly, "The plums are so delicious, I ate too much without paying attention." ”
"Hehe, are you a goldfish......"
"I don't care...... I'm toothy, I'm uncomfortable!"
Huo Bai ignored her and brought him the meal ordered by Da Li.
When he returned to the stove again, he heard Ah Zhai sitting on a stool with a sad face, covering his cheeks and whispering: "Little cabbage~Yellow in the ground~"
Duan Ping couldn't stand the magic sound of Ah Zhai, and plugged his ears with a towel.
Huo Bai only felt a headache when he heard her voice, and his temples burst out.
"Shut up, stop, say, what do you want me to do?"
Ah Zhai stopped singing that she couldn't listen to, she cleared her throat, "Ahem~!I want to eat bean festivals~ There are also preserved eggs, lean pork and ham porridge and glutinous rice lotus root balls~"
Huo Bai sighed in frustration, "It's too late to make glutinous rice lotus root balls, so I'll make them for you tomorrow." Porridge and bean festivals you and so on. ”
Saying that, he turned around and went to get the materials, he must have done something angry and resentful in his previous life to have such a tossing sister.
Ah Zhai covered his cheeks and squinted with a smile, ahhh
As soon as Ah Zhai, who was in a very bright mood, turned his head, he saw Da Li who was carefully feeding Li Yun.
Damn, why did she feel more sore......
Huo Bai, who came back with the materials, saw Ah Zhai staring at the jar with pickled plums that was put aside with a bitter and vengeful expression.
The bean festival that Ah Zhai said is actually boiled edamame, and boiled edamame is often prepared in Huo Bai's food stalls.
It's a pity that she eats boiled edamame festival with a strange taste, so she can only make a separate copy for her.
Wash the edamame knots, cut off the sharp corners of both ends with scissors, and set aside for later use.
Pour oil into a pan over high heat and stir-fry red pepper paste, pickled peppers, garlic slices, mountain peppers and fresh red pepper rings until fragrant.
After stir-frying until fragrant, fry the red oil, put the cut edamame knots in and stir-fry together, then pour water and add salt, the water is not over the bean knots, boil over high heat, and cook thoroughly.
Remove the boiled edamame from the grate and put it in a bowl, mix it with white sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, fried garlic slices in sesame oil and a little balsamic vinegar.
Huo Bai handed the mixed edamame festival to Ah Zhai.
Ah Zhai took the plate and smelled the sour and spicy aroma, "Ah~ Chicken soup Huo, do you want to taste it?"
Huo Bai shook his head, "Don't." ”
In fact, Ah Zhai didn't really want Huo Bai to taste it, she just asked meaningfully.
