When he got home, Li Qiao put the children's clothes that were fortunately not damaged in the children's closet, and then carried the ingredients he bought on the road when he came, and went directly to Grandma Chen's place, while Li Xiaoqiao followed behind with a fart, knocking on the door, and after a while, the door opened.

Grandma Chen walked out with a beaming face, as if she had encountered some happy event, and replaced the padded jacket that was already a little fluffy and turned into a brand-new clothing for the elderly, without even tearing off the labels on the sleeves.

"Granny Chen, I have encountered something happy today, I am so happy, I have changed into new clothes. Li Qiao looked at her and was quite surprised, Grandma Chen's thrift is famous in the whole community, but she is dressed so festively today, there must be something happy.

"Yes, yes, Grandma has become pretty. Li Xiaoqiao jumped up and down excitedly behind Li Qiao.

Grandma Chen smiled and hugged Li Xiaoqiao, teasing her: "Grandma is old, how beautiful can you be, how beautiful can you be, you must be a great beauty when you grow up." ”

However, Li Xiaoqiao didn't understand, he obediently didn't move in his grandmother's arms, where it was like in Li Qiao's hands, the movement was so loud that it was as if Jianshi was about to take off, and he couldn't stop for a moment.

Walking into the room, Li Qiao found some newly bought fruits on the table, and the kitchen exuded a faint aroma of stir-frying, not making the sound of the blade hitting the cutting board, Li Qiao couldn't help asking, "There are guests at home?"

"Oh, you look at my brain, I forgot, today my grandson came home, I don't know what happened during this time, the child not only dyed his colorful hair black again, but also cut a refreshing inch, even the teachers in the school said that the child is well-behaved, and his grades are getting better and better, I heard that they are all in the top ten of the grade!" Grandma Chen said that her grandson was gushing, and her wrinkled face bloomed into a flower, and she couldn't help but be happy.

"No, I went home today and bought fruit and this clothes, I was reluctant, but this child has filial piety, and as soon as he brought it, he asked me to wear it, saying that he earned it by working. Grandma Chen's eyes were almost overflowing with happiness, and she continued: "You see that when I said that I would go home today, I immediately went into the kitchen and let me taste his craftsmanship." ”

Li Qiao didn't speak, but let Grandma Chen keep talking happily, and when she walked into the house, she just poured water with a cup, washed fruits, and kept busy, but it could be seen that Grandma Chen was not pretending to be so happy.

"Grandma, who's coming?" At this time, a boy with a shaved head poked his head out of the kitchen, still holding a spatula in his hand, and his green appearance had changed a little, and he was a little more stable.

However, when he saw the familiar man sitting in the living room, Yangzi couldn't help but be stunned, but Grandma Chen stood up with a smile and said, "Yangzi, come out quickly, this is the neighbor who helped grandma, your name is Uncle Li, and the money you took to pay for textbooks last time was given by your Uncle Li." ”

Li Qiao smiled silently in his heart, he didn't expect to graduate and be unemployed and famous for so many years, when he had a child, he was promoted to an uncle, which made Li Qiao, who had never been married, feel very delicate, but at the same time he stood up, as if he didn't know him, stretched out his hand and said: "My name is Li Qiao, you can call me Uncle Li." ”

"Li, Uncle Li!" Yangzi looked at the big brother-level figure who saved his life that night like a god's anger, and it turned out to be the father of a child, this kind of person gap still made him a little difficult to accept, but he still pretended not to know and subconsciously stretched out his hand.

Li Qiao held his hand and shook it vigorously and smiled: "I can't see it, young man, the spirit is not bad." ”

Yangzi smiled awkwardly, and then Grandma Chen frowned slightly and sniffed with her nose: "What is burnt?"

"Oops, my pot meat!" The next moment, Yangzi immediately rushed back to the kitchen screaming, and Grandma Chen smiled bitterly at Li Qiao: "This is still a little frizzy." ”

"It's okay, I originally thought today that I was thanking you for taking care of Xiaoqiao in the past two days, and I was going to cook a meal for you to admire your face, but it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's eat here today, don't be too crowded!" Li Qiao smiled as he lifted the ingredients in his hand.

Since the death of Grandma Chen's wife, this apartment has been deserted, and the children are not four or five outside, and the apartment is becoming more and more deserted, and when Li Xiaoqiao appeared, it has changed, now it is different, the grandson is obedient, and the old man can't wait for the apartment to be more lively, so he immediately stood up and said: "Don't be crowded, don't be crowded, you can come over, just give me face." ”

Saying that, Li Qiao walked into the kitchen, and the Yangtze who was burned by the iron pot in the kitchen hurriedly wanted to save the endgame, looking at the increasingly charred meat slices in the pot, with a desperate face, but when he turned his head, he suddenly saw Li Qiao, and suddenly jumped, and subconsciously shouted: "Li, Uncle Li." ”

"Am I that old?" Li Qiao smiled, took the iron pot in front of Yangzi, poured it in the trash can, then washed the pot clean, put it back on the stove and said, "Learn to do it, that's how to return to the pot meat." ”

The voice fell, I saw Li Qiao take out a piece of pork from the bag, and then inserted a few holes with chopsticks, poured some rice wine to wash it, and then accompanied it with a little green onion, ginger and garlic, and steamed it in the pot.

When the pork is fully cooked, Li Qiao immediately put the pork on the cutting board, the kitchen knife works like flying, after all, he is the chef of Huaijiang Hotel, this ability is still there, and after a while, slices of meat that are not thin or thick are stacked on the plate smoothly, and Li Qiao quickly prepares small ingredients such as garlic leaves.

After that, it was into the pot, Li Qiao turned the pot a few times, and returned to fry the handle, and Yangzi was stunned for a while, although he went through that battle, learned the horror of mixed society, returned to school to study hard, and went to work in his spare time, a good student of work-study.

But he is still a child after all, and he rarely cooks, and the first time he came out with a big appearance, the five dishes he prepared, three of them were scrapped directly, and the kitchen was made into a miasma, and at this moment, seeing Li Qiao's skillful movements, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare at it, wanting to learn a trick and a half.

"Okay, out of the pot!" Li Qiao turned over the pot, the spoon was flicked, the steaming, fragrant back to the pot meat was put on the plate, and Yangzi couldn't help swallowing his saliva and tasted a piece, which was much stronger than the one in the restaurant.

Looking at Yangzi's intoxicated appearance, Li Qiao was quite indignant in his heart, in contrast, the little fart child in the family did not give face at all, no matter how fragrant he was, that is, the father of the chef Yi Yin was willing to bow down in the world, but Li Xiaoqiao did not buy it at all, which made Li Qiao, who made a meal full of fatherly love, very frustrated, but what he didn't know was that children under the age of three were not interested in poultry and animal food, and their digestion could not keep up.

Soon, under Li Qiao's dazzling means, the table was full of sumptuous delicacies, what mapo tofu back to the pot meat, what Kung Pao chicken Ding Feilong soup, what Huailu Yueyang Bengang dishes, Li Qiao's craftsmanship is like a chef in the imperial dining room, and of course, a bowl of sweet rice paste is indispensable for little Lafayette.

"It's good that your Uncle Li is here, otherwise we're afraid we'll all have to eat scorched pots. Grandma Chen looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes, even at an age like her declining sense of taste, she couldn't help but move her index fingers: "I don't know that your Uncle Li is the chef of Huaijiang Hotel, let's learn more next time." ”

Yangzi buried his head in eating embarrassedly, but there was another thought in his heart, in fact, Li Qiao's identity in his heart was also a big guy in Xinghai City, and he didn't seem to have thought that he was just a simple chef, he looked up and wanted to look at Li Qiao, but he immediately lowered his head when he looked at his smiling expression.

Li Qiao was not polite at all when he ate, even if there were outsiders present, he would treat it as his own home, but after a while, two bowls of white rice were eaten, and half of the dishes on the table were eaten by Li Qiao, and then he spat out with satisfaction, and at this time Li Xiaoqiao also happened to swallow the last mouthful of rice cereal, and also learned from Li Qiao to touch his round belly, exhaled, and made a feeling of satisfaction.

"Granny Chen, I'll go out to buy a pack of cigarettes, and Xiaoqiao will ask you to take a look. Li Qiao was full of food and drink, and walked out of the door directly.

And Yangzi, who had only eaten half of it, saw Li Qiao leaving, and immediately dropped his chopsticks and said, "Grandma, I'll help Uncle Li." Without waiting for the old man to speak, he rushed out.

Li Qiao was at the exit downstairs of the community, leaning against the wall, lit a cigarette, swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, sure enough, after a while, the young man ran down out of breath, because his stomach still hurt a little after eating, Li Qiao was not surprised to see him: "Smoking?"

"No!" Yangzi replied very truthfully, smoking was just something he learned by force when he mixed with curly hair.

"Looking for me?" Li Qiao didn't raise his eyelids to bask in the sun, exhaling a puff of smoke that turned invisible in the air.

"I ......" Yangzi hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I want to tell you, thank you!"

Yangzi's real name is Yang Qingfan, when he was still in junior high school, his parents divorced because of incompatibility, each had a wife and husband, and formed a new family, but Yang Qingfan, who was the crystallization of their love, was discarded as a garbage bag.

And that night, when the dark alleys, the foul smell, the unbearable pain, and the man who came down from the sky to save them, he never forgot the scene he saw in the parking lot.

However, Li Qiao was still smoking and did not react, but Yang Qing stubbornly raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I will pay you back your two thousand yuan." ”
