Chapter 53: The Golden Autumn Season (2)
When Chiaki arrived at the elementary school, the school gates were closed, and only a few senior students walked out of the school communication room.
"Wan Li?" As soon as Zhao Qianqiu entered, he saw Wan Li, who was sitting at the uncle's table in the communication room, quietly writing his homework, so he called softly.
"You...... I ......, "Seeing Wanli so well-behaved, Qianqiu didn't know what to say."
"I've done my homework, let's go back now! I don't need to learn to draw tonight, I can watch TV when I go back!" Wanli stuffed the book in his hand into his schoolbag, looked up and said to Zhao Qianqiu, and then was stunned for a while, and asked, "Why is it so late today?"
"How do you know?" asked Zhao Qianqiu with some surprise.
"On the way to school in the morning, when I was waiting for the traffic light, I saw you staring at the osmanthus tree on the side of the road for a long time, and now there are a few small osmanthus flowers in your hair, thinking that you should have osmanthus at home. As he spoke, he took Zhao Qianqiu's hand, "Let's go, let's go home." ”
"Well......" Zhao Qianqiu nodded, "Our Wanli is really amazing, I feel like a detective!" (Many years later, when Zhao Wanli put on a police uniform and wore a police hat and took an oath, he remembered what Zhao Qianqiu said to himself at this moment, thinking that he had not become a detective but had become a people's public security, and suddenly felt a little emotional. )
"No, it's just that the osmanthus on your head is too obvious, anyone will guess it!" was praised by his sister, Wan Li was a little embarrassed, and when he said these words, he shook his head lightly with a smile. He is not as sad as Wan Yu because Qianqiu is late, maybe in his subconscious, he feels that no matter how late it is, no matter where she is, her sister will come, and all he needs to do is wait for her in the same place.
"I made some osmanthus nectar today, how about making osmanthus cake for you on the weekend?" On the way home, while waiting for the traffic light, Qianqiu turned his head and asked Wanli Wanyu.
"Osmanthus cake, I feel like I haven't eaten it for a long time!" Wanli glanced at Wan Yu, the kid had already forgotten what osmanthus cake was, and his face was full of confusion.
"Yes, because of my illness last year, I didn't have the heart to do it at all. Qianqiu smiled, "Then, your brother Qing and his brother were very strict with the pastries made of glutinous rice flour, and then they forgot about it." ”
"Then if you do it now, won't Brother Qinghe be angry?" Wanli asked with some concern. Although Qinghe won't know if he is not at home now, he is afraid that if anyone leaks his mouth in the future, he will be angry.
"It's okay, I just don't eat it!" Qianqiu waved his hand, "Brother Qinghe is not a very unreasonable person, just report to him then." Besides, let's do it again when he comes back......"
That weekend, Chiaki made the osmanthus cake she was good at, as her mother had taught her. There are hundreds of ways to make osmanthus cakes, and the one she makes is estimated to be the easiest, but the taste is quite authentic. Wan Li Wanyu may not have much impression of the osmanthus cake made by her mother, but Qiandai especially liked to eat the osmanthus cake made by her mother at that time, and stayed under the osmanthus tree for a period of time to pray that the osmanthus would bloom early, so that she could eat the osmanthus cake made of the osmanthus in the season.
"Wanli, send some to the grandma next door. After making it, Qianqiu prepared some and put them on a plate for Wanli to send over.
"I'm going too! I'm going too!" Wan Yu pestered Qianqiu and argued to go together. Chiaki had no choice but to agree. and told Wan Li not to let Wan Yu take the plate. If the plate is dropped, it will be troublesome if the pieces are cut.
"Brother, are you tired, do you want me to help you?" Wan Yu followed behind Wan Li, and from time to time he raised his head to ask if there was a chance to take a plate.
"No need, this plate is very light, even if it is one hand, I can hold it!" said that, Wan Li showed Wan Yu his skills in holding the plate with one hand.
"I'm a person who went to elementary school, and I might be like you when I grow up. "Because the grandma's house next door lives very close, it didn't take a few steps to arrive, and it is for this reason that Qianqiu is relieved to let Wanli and Wanyu run errands. The osmanthus cake is not very heavy, and that weight can be easily controlled even if it is thousands of miles.
"Who is talking?" After hearing Wanli Wanyu's voice, the old lady came out of the door, saw Wanli holding something, and took the plate from his hand, "Who do you think it is, it turns out to be our Wanli Wanyu!"
"Grandma, the osmanthus cake made by my sister is delicious, hurry up and eat it while it's hot, it's not so delicious when it's cold!" Wanli said to Grandma, and then put his eyes back on the plate.
"Really, I'll taste it too, and now I'll find something to put on the osmanthus cake on the plate." Because her legs and feet were still a little inconvenient, Grandma didn't send the plate back, but poured the contents of the plate into her own container, put it under running water and cleaned it, and then handed the clean plate to Wanli for him to take back.
"Grandma actually washed the dishes and asked you to bring them back?" Zhao Qianqiu was obviously a little surprised, but because Grandma had always had this habit, she was not surprised now.
Qinghe's next return date coincided with Qiandai's National Day holiday, Zhao Qianqiu booked a train ticket for her online, and now she is able to take the train by herself, but let her take the train alone, she is still a little worried, so let Qinghe go to pick up Qiandai back when she comes back. When they both returned, she would be able to prepare more snacks that they liked to eat.
"Hello. Is Zhao Hua at home?" they were eating some osmanthus cakes in the kitchen when a woman's head poked in from outside the house.
"Are you?" Zhao Qianqiu didn't turn a corner for a while, after all, she didn't think about anything else at all, and answered her question casually, "He went out, and it would take about four or five days." ”
"Oh, then I'll come back next time!" the woman nodded at Zhao Qianqiu, and then quickly left. When Zhao Qianqiu went out of the house to take a look, he found that the woman had already driven away, looking at the familiar body and color, Zhao Qianqiu realized with some hindsight that he seemed to have done something stupid.
"Tsk, that woman dared to come to the door. The skin is thicker than the wall, which is really unappetizing. Zhao Qianqiu rolled his eyes in the direction where the car was leaving, and returned to the house amid Wan Yu's call.
"Sister, do you know that person just now?" As soon as Zhao Qianqiu entered the room, Wan Yu pulled Zhao Qianqiu's cuffs and asked.
"Well, people you don't know, ask about Dad. Qianqiu touched Wan Yu's head, "The osmanthus cake I made is delicious! ”
"What, a strange woman came to inquire about Daddy?" As soon as Qinghe came home, she discussed this matter with him, although it had happened for many days, she always felt a little uneasy, and remembered that Zhao Hua had told her when he went out that if she came to her, he would say that he was not there. (Later, when Zhao Hua delivered the goods, she didn't mention it at all, and she didn't want him to know about it at all.) However, the woman had already contacted her in private, and there was no need for Zhao Qianqiu to say it, he also knew the whole story. )
"Yes, I also think that there must be something wrong with that woman, plus she has some means, if you don't pay attention to it, your father may be deceived by her again. If you look at the way he looks now, he should have forgotten what he looked like when he was swept away after he had no money. Zhao Qianqiu sighed, she has never had any scheming, if that woman really relied on her father, what would she do then?
"Maybe it's just to ask about something or something, Dad doesn't mind himself, you better leave him alone. Qinghe shook his head, for the involvement of other people's three aunts and six wives, he felt troublesome when he thought about it, how could he interfere? In addition, it is very likely that the two of them are Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and in the end, they are not human beings inside and outside.
"Hmph, he was cheated by then, but don't blame me for not reminding him in the first place. You say, didn't he learn enough to make the same mistake?"
"Okay, didn't I hear that you made osmanthus cake for me to eat? I haven't drunk a sip of water since I entered the door!" Qinghe hugged Qianqiu, "Why do you say that my wife is so capable, she can even make osmanthus cake, I really want to hide it at home, and no one will let me know." ”
"It's not as exaggerated as you said, haha......" Listening to Qinghe's praise, Qianqiu laughed a little carried away, "Praise me so much before I eat the osmanthus cake, if it will be unpalatable, what should I do?"
"It's not unpalatable, my wife makes the best!"
"Did you say that you have been with Xiao Wanyu for a long time and have learned her sycophant?" asked Qianqiu with some doubts.
"Is it? People don't even let me tell the truth? It's really sad to say that I'm a sycophant!" Qinghe immediately showed an aggrieved face.
"Okay, can't I say it if I don't say it?" Qianqiu was also very desperate, once Qinghe showed this expression, she didn't have any fault at all, and in the end she had to coax her in turn.
"That's pretty much it!" Qinghe snickered a few times, picked up the osmanthus cake on the table with his hand and ate it immediately.
"Well, it melts in your mouth, and the fragrance of osmanthus in your mouth has not dissipated for a long time, and it has an endless aftertaste on the tip of your tongue!" Qinghe glanced at Qianqiu with very determined eyes, and then quickly stuffed the second piece into his mouth.
"It's not a food show, you don't come, haha......" Qianqiu patted him on the shoulder, and he was already amused by him to laugh from ear to ear!
"Do you want to make an improved version of osmanthus cake next time, that is, even patients can eat it, but instead of glutinous rice flour, replace it with other flour and try it......" Qinghe felt that although the osmanthus cake was delicious, if it was not eaten with Qianqiu, it always felt like something was missing.
