Chapter 21: A Family of Three
Mi Yanran suddenly remembered, turned her head and asked Chen Kai: Have you seen Jingjing here?"
Chen Kai thought about it and shook his head.
Ding Yuan didn't know why: "Jingjing, who is Jingjing?"
Li Feifei was also a little strange, and explained to Ding Yuan: "It was a little girl we invited to eat zongzi, could it be that we missed it when we went to receive the award." ”
Chen Kai thought for a while: "Probably not, if you want to come, I will come over at lunchtime, I didn't see her in the queue before, and we received the award at more than two o'clock." ”
Mi Yanran asked again: "Then do you think she will ...... Huh, is that Jingjing?"
The four of them looked in the direction that Mi Yanran pointed, a little girl wearing a school uniform skirt, her head bowed, her hands hanging by her side, and she walked in from the street entrance while wiping her eyes with her hands.
If you look closely, the little girl's round face and a ponytail tied at the back of her head are none other than Jingjing.
Mi Yanran was the first to get up, walked out of the stall quickly, took Jingjing's hand, took her to the stall and sat down, and asked softly:
"What's wrong, Jingjing, where are your parents? Didn't you come with you?"
Jingjing looked up at Mi Yanran, lowered her head a little dejectedly, and shook her head.
Chen Kai saw that the little girl was depressed, and asked softly: "Jingjing, you must be hungry, eat some zongzi." ”
Li Feifei hurriedly pushed a whole pot of more than a dozen zongzi in front of Jingjing.
"Come, big sister invites you to eat, this zongzi is fragrant, you're welcome, it's a festival today, eat enough." ”
Jingjing looked at the zongzi and whispered, "Thank you, sister, I'm ...... I'm not hungry yet. ”
Mi Yanran was a little embarrassed to see Jingjing, so she directly brought over a zongzi, peeled it off neatly, and put it in front of Jingjing.
The peeled white jade dumplings are crystal clear, exuding a rich glutinous rice fragrance, mixed with the herbaceous fragrance of the dumpling leaves, which can especially arouse the appetite.
Jingjing looked at the white jade dumplings in front of her and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Chen Kai smiled: "Eat it, it's not so delicious when it's cold." ”
Jingjing picked up the zongzi in one hand, looked at everyone, and showed a shallow smile on her face, and was about to speak to Chen Kai.
Suddenly, a female voice came, "Jingjing, so you're here." ”
The little girl immediately turned her head and said in surprise, "Mom...... Daddy?"
Outside the stall, a woman in a light green summer skirt was running anxiously towards her, followed by a man in a short-sleeved shirt and slacks, with a deep exhaustion on his face.
It seems that it should be Jingjing's parents.
Jingjing put down the zongzi, stood up suddenly, and lowered her head in fear.
Jingjing's mother panted and ran to the stall, looked at Jingjing, her face was a little annoyed, and a little distressed, and said:
"You kid, you don't eat at home at noon during the big holidays, and you run out without saying a word, do you know how hard your mother is looking for you?"
Jingjing's head pressed lower, and said with some grievances: "Mom, I'm sorry." ”
Jingjing's father stepped forward and whispered to his daughter, "Jingjing, why did you suddenly run out? Is it because you don't want to go to school with grandma?"
When Jingjing's mother heard this, her thin eyebrows raised: "He Wei, what do you mean, the schools in the city are much stronger than those in the county, so you have to think more about the future of your children." ”
Jingjing's father said angrily: "Liu Yurong, I'm too lazy to tell you, I don't want my daughter to change places casually, don't make trouble there." ”
"Who do you say is making trouble, are you deliberately looking for fault with the surname He!"
Liu Yurong called this, and many customers on all sides of the stall were attracted, standing outside from a distance, pointing at the two of them while discussing something.
"It's nonsense. He Wei looked around and whispered, his face a little unbearable.
Liu Yurong also seemed to realize that her voice was a little loud just now, snorted, and stopped arguing with her husband.
The two were speechless for a while, but the people around them were waiting to see the excitement, the discussion was getting louder and louder, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.
Glancing around, Liu Yurong stepped forward and took Jingjing's hand: "Baby, ignore Dad, let's go, let's go home." ”
Seeing that her mother was about to leave with her holding her and turning around, Jingjing tightened her mother's hand and said with some grievances: "Mom...... I, I want to eat the rice dumplings here. ”
Liu Yurong turned her head to look at her daughter, and said in a gentle tone as gently as possible: "Baby, shall we go home?" ”
Jingjing shook her head gently, and Mi Yanran next to her came up to persuade: "Jingjing's mother, the child specially came here today to eat special zongzi,
I peeled one just now and I didn't bite you guys, or let the child finish eating, the one just now was a little cold, so let's change a few hot ones for you. ”
He Wei saw the child's expectant eyes, and also said, "Don't be in a hurry to go home......
Liu Yurong glared at He Wei and asked her daughter gently, "Jingjing, do you particularly want to eat this family's zongzi?"
Jingjing nodded hurriedly: "Mom, I was supposed to ...... I wanted you all to try it, but could you sit down and eat some?"
Liu Yurong looked at her husband and children, with some hesitation on her face.
Chen Kai suddenly stood up and said, "If the child is hungry, let's eat a little first, and if it's not delicious, take the child back to eat something good." ”
When He Wei and Liu Yurong heard Chen Kai say this, they could only nod when they saw their daughter's face full of anticipation.
The family of three sat down on the edge of the table, Jingjing sat in the middle, He Wei and Liu Yurong sat on both sides, ignoring each other, looking at the table and the ground with expressionless faces.
When the people around saw that there was no excitement to see, they dispersed.
Chen Kai looked at the family of three, shook his head, removed the cold rice dumplings, and took out a few hot white jade rice dumplings from the pot.
Li Feifei took out the scissors to cut the cotton thread, put three plates on the table, and began to help peel the zongzi.
As Li Feifei peeled off the first zongzi little by little, a rich aroma came to her face.
The two husband and wife, who were originally expressionless, sniffed almost at the same time, and their eyes turned to the zongzi in front of them.
The white and transparent white jade dumplings were still steaming, He Wei was surprised, and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Liu Yurong glanced at her husband, her eyes were a little disgusted, but the corners of her mouth smiled.
He Wei glanced at Jingjing, turned his head to Chen Kai and said, "Boss, your zongzi, the aroma is really special." ”
Chen Kai said with a smile: "Don't talk about this yet, the child is hungry, let's eat first." ”
Looking at the white jade dumplings in front of her, the little girl was really hungry, so she was the first to grab the zongzi and eat it in small bites.
Li Feifei peeled two more zongzi and put them on the plate in front of He Wei and his wife, and when the two saw their daughter eating, they also started one after another.
The three of them ate faster and faster, He Wei and Liu Yurong gradually changed from small stuttering to large gulping, and the three of them seemed to have a big appetite.
Li Feifei hurriedly peeled the last two remaining zongzi and put them on the plates of the two.
While He Wei and his wife were eating, the expression on their faces gradually changed from slight surprise to surprise.
He Wei couldn't help but say to Chen Kai while eating: "Boss, your zongzi is really unusual, fragrant and glutinous, and the more you eat, the more your appetite becomes." ”
Jingjing's little face also had surprise: "Dad, let me just say, this family's secret zongzi is different from others." ”
He Wei's speed was fast, and he finished eating what he was doing, and he breathed a sigh of satisfaction, just wanting to reach out and pick up a new zongzi.
Halfway through his hand, he suddenly glanced at his daughter and saw that his daughter's plate was empty, so he gently pushed the plate in front of his daughter.
Liu Yurong took the time to wipe off the glutinous rice from her daughter's mouth, happened to see her husband's movements, looked at the zongzi on her plate again, and gently handed her plate to He Wei.
The couple looked at each other, smiles on their lips.
After a while, a few zongzi were eaten up by this family, and although the three of them were a little unsatisfied, they all had satisfied expressions on their faces.
Liu Yurong glanced at He Wei, then at Chen Kai, his face became very embarrassed, he sat up straight, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, boss, we shouldn't have quarreled with you just now." ”
He Wei nodded hurriedly: "I'm really sorry for delaying your business." ”
Chen Kai shook his head with a smile, and Mi Yanran interjected beside him:
"The business has not been delayed, but it is you, now it looks like a family, you look at Jingjing, the little girl just needs to laugh to look good. ”
He Wei and Liu Yurong turned their heads to look at Jingjing who was sitting in the middle, Jingjing also smiled and looked up at her parents, and the atmosphere of the three of them changed subtly.
The little girl couldn't hold back her mood, covered her mouth and laughed.
Liu Yurong patted her daughter lightly, with a smile on her face: "This kid doesn't know what is so funny." ”
Jingjing's family sat for a while talking and laughing, got up and thanked Chen Kai and the four of them, and the three of them held hands and left slowly.
Looking at the back of a family of three gradually moving away, Chen Kai couldn't help but smile.
A new short message.
Suddenly hearing the prompt sound of his mobile phone, Chen Kai was stunned, took out his mobile phone and looked at it.
"Dear users, congratulations on your success in doing good deeds, getting 10 good karma points and 10 good karma point balance. ”
