Chapter 113: Adaptation (2nd Update)
Qin Xiaoyu bit her lip and looked at Luo Zhan, a little puzzled, wasn't her caution just to reassure everyone?
"You don't need to be cautious in front of people who really care about you, because if you do this, it will make the people who care about you feel that you can't open your heart to face them, you have to learn to let go, and you have to learn to accept. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After Luo Zhan finished speaking, he saw Qin Xiaoyu pursing her lips without squeaking, and gently stroked the top of her hair: "Okay, go wash your face and eat watermelon, ice in the water for an afternoon, it's delicious." He walked out of the house.
Qin Xiaoyu was silent for a while, and suddenly his eyes showed a bright light, and he said sweetly to Luo Zhan: "Thank you!"
Luo Zhan frowned and walked out without reacting.
Xia Hong was chopping dumpling stuffing in the courtyard, and when she saw Qin Xiaoyu coming out, she said with a smile: "Did you wake you up?" I asked Brother Ah Zhan to call you, for fear that you would sleep too long and not be able to sleep at night. ”
Qin Xiaoyu didn't quite understand, why did he call Luo Sen the second brother and Luo Zhan as Ah Zhan's brother?
Qin Xiaoyu washed his face, went to the house to bring out the watermelon, sat on the rattan chair under the locust tree and ate it.
"Let's eat dumplings tonight, and your Uncle will come back later. Xia Hong chopped the minced meat and cut the fennel.
Qin Xiaoyu nibbled on two watermelons, washed her hands and prepared to help Xia Hong make dumplings.
There are many mosquitoes in the evening, and there are more flowers and plants in the yard, and the mosquitoes are even more crazy.
Xia Hong moved the panels into the hall and made dumplings in the house.
Xia Hong rolls the skin, Luo Zhan wraps, and Qin Xiaoyu will only press the dumpling agent.
Qin Xiaoyu watched Luo Zhan's slender hands squeeze and squeeze gently, and a fat and bulging dumpling was born, and looked at Luo Zhan with admiration: "I also want to learn to make dumplings." ”
Luo Zhan smiled slightly, took a dumpling wrapper, sandwiched some stuffing and put it on: "Put the stuffing in the middle, first fold the dumpling wrapper in half and pinch it tightly, and then use the thumb and index finger of both hands to squeeze it hard!"
It's simple to say, it's easy to see Luo Zhan doing it, and when Qin Xiaoyu does it himself, the ten fingers are the same as the newly grown, and he doesn't obey the call at all, he can barely pinch the dumpling skin tightly, and the belly of the dumpling is still propped up with the green dumpling filling.
Luo Zhan Wan'er leaned over and held Qin Xiaoyu's hand and taught her how to do it.
Xia Hong looked at the two people who were studying dumplings head-to-head, her eyes flashed, and she didn't speak.
Qin Xiaoyu smelled the crisp and good-smelling breath on Luo Zhan's body, how could he still be in the mood to learn to make dumplings, and in the end, it would be good if he could only wrap it without revealing the filling.
Xia Hong comforted: "The first time I made dumplings, I would like to learn a few more times in the future, your mother didn't make as good as yours when she was a child." ”
Qin Xiaoyu smiled embarrassedly, is it still hereditary to make dumplings?
When the dumplings were boiled into the pot, Luo Jingnian came back.
Qin Xiaoyu has always guessed that Luo Jingnian may be a very serious person, just like Luo Zhan is very serious many times.
When I saw Luo Jingnian, I was a little surprised.
Luo Jingnian is very tall, because he is a soldier, he has a straight body, deep facial features, and a soft expression, which gives people a very approachable feeling.
Qin Xiaoyu stood up and shouted in a low voice: "Uncle Rob is good." But I wondered in my heart, Luo Jingnian and Xia Hong have very gentle personalities, why is Luo Zhan's temperament so cold?
Luo Jingnian has been listening to Xia Hong's chatter, how Qin Xiaoyu looks like An Luo, and now seeing Qin Xiaoyu standing in the room vividly, as if he saw An Luo when he was a child, he couldn't help but feel in his heart, the world makes people!
"Xiaoyu, sit down, come here is your own home, tell Aunt Luo what you want to eat and wherever you want to go, don't be polite. Luo Jingnian said gently.
Qin Xiaoyu's heart that had been lifting suddenly let go, and he sat down with a smile, his calves together, his hands clenched into fists and placed on his knees.
Luo Jingnian looked at Qin Xiaoyu's small movements, knowing that this child couldn't let go, he sighed and said, "If it weren't for your grandfather's sponsorship of my study and studying abroad, I wouldn't be where I am today." Your grandfather is more like a loving father in the eyes of us students, so we are a real family. ”
Xia Hong came in with dumplings, and after listening to Luo Jingnian's words, her eyes were a little moist, in fact, it was not only Luo Jingnian who had been helped by An Lao, but she had also received it, and in their hearts, An Lao was like a father.
"Okay, let's eat quickly, the dumplings won't taste good when they're cold for a while. Xia Hong hurriedly greeted.
Luo Jingnian looked around: "Where is Rosen?
"I don't know what I've been busy with lately, I don't go home until it's dark. Xia Hong muttered and went to get the dishes and chopsticks.
After eating, Xia Hong wanted to pull Qin Xiaoyu to walk and digest it.
As soon as Qin Xiaoyu wanted to go out, he had to pass by the Pipe Street Hutong, and he didn't want to go out because he was repulsed.
Luo Zhan and Luo Jingnian were playing chess, and when they heard them going out, they said loudly: "There are a lot of mosquitoes at this time, Xiaoyu, if you are bored, I have a book in the house for you to take and read." He stared at the chessboard without raising his head as he spoke.
Xia Hong thought about it, and asked Qin Xiaoyu to go to Luo Zhan's house to read, she was going to knit a sweater for Qin Xiaoyu with the wool she bought a few days ago.
Qin Xiaoyu stepped into Luo Zhan's room for the first time, and the layout was the same as her room, except that the bedding on the bed was made into tofu blocks, neatly placed at the head of the bed, and the table and bookcase were neatly arranged.
Qin Xiaoyu stood in front of the bookcase, looking at the large row of foreign books on it, and stared, Luo Zhan knows foreign languages? It doesn't seem to be English.
In the middle is a row of professional military books, neatly stacked according to their thickness.
The bottom row is some extracurricular reading materials, both Chinese and foreign literature.
Qin Xiaoyu was surprised that Luo Zhan had read so many books, and the scope of his knowledge was very wide.
Pushing open the door of the glass bookcase, Qin Xiaoyu found a book called "Magnolia Under the Big Wall" and sat in front of Luo Zhan's desk and looked at it.
At first, I felt a little obscure, after all, that turbulent decade was far away from her, and even if she was reborn, she hadn't had much contact, and after reading a few pages, she was immersed in it and began to worry about the protagonist in it.
In the end, I decided to take it back to the house to see.
After Luo Zhan and Luo Jingnian finished playing three games of chess, Luo Jingnian began to talk solemnly about the future with Luo Zhan: "I heard that you are going to be transferred to the Ninth Regiment?"
"Well, I'll go back and take office. Luo Zhan nodded.
"I heard that it is more difficult than the Eighth Regiment over there, and the environment is also harsh, so you can't relax. ”
"Don't worry, I know it. ”
Xia Hong listened in surprise on the side: "Ah Zhan is going to be transferred? Then you are leaving, what about Xiaoyu?"
"Xiaoyu should go to high school when school starts, and she is going to live on campus. Luo Zhan replied very vaguely.
Xia Hong thought for a long time: "Xiaoyu can't live in her adoptive parents' house for the rest of her life, or let Xiaoyu come to the capital to study, and when she grows up in the future, remember to honor her adoptive parents." ”
Luo Zhan shook his head slightly: "Mom, things are not as simple as you think, and Xiaoyu's adoptive father was gone last winter." ”
"What?!No, why didn't you say that?"
Xia Hong stood up in surprise.
"You must have seen the fire in the newspapers. ”
