Jiang Rui smiled and said after eating the steamed buns with Qin Xiaoyu: "You go to my house for dinner at noon, my mother said that the turtledove was stewed at noon today, and my father made more than a dozen turtledoves yesterday." ”
Qin Xiaoyu shook his head: "I'm not going, I'll just eat at school with my sister at noon." ”
Jiang Rui begged: "You go with me, I'll tell your sister to go." ”
"No, I really don't go, I bring lunch, and besides, I just ate a steamed bun, and I guess I'm not hungry until noon." Qin Xiaoyu insisted in a low voice.
Jiang Rui refused to give up and said, "No, you have to go with me, or I'll be angry." He frowned and pouted.
Qin Xiaoyu was a little helpless: "Okay then~"
Jiang Rui put her face on the desk, looked at Qin Xiaoyu with a smile and said, "That's right, don't be polite to me in the future." "No matter how you look at it, I feel that Qin Xiaoyu is very weak and needs to be covered by her sister.
When school was out at noon, Qin Xiaoyu went to tell Qin Xiaoxia that she was going to eat at the same school. Qin Xiaoxia is very supportive, this sister is so old, she doesn't even have a friend, it's time to make a few friends.
Qin Xiaoxia didn't forget to advise: "When you go to someone's house, you have to have work in your eyes, and if our family has delicious food in the future, don't forget to bring some to your classmates." ”
Qin Xiaoyu nodded with a smile and went to the army's family home with Jiang Rui.
"Is your father from the army?" Qin Xiaoyu asked curiously.
Jiang Rui nodded, and said a little proudly: "Well, my dad is the head of the regiment here." ”
Qin Xiaoyu let out an "oh", no wonder Jiang Rui has good food and clothing conditions.
Jiang Rui's mother, Liu Guixiang, felt uncomfortable when she saw her daughter bringing back a classmate, but her face was also enthusiastic, and she smiled and said to Qin Xiaoyu: "Child, which village are you from, why haven't you heard Rui Rui mention it before." ”
"Auntie, I'm from Victory Ranch, and I'm in the same class as Jiang Rui at the beginning of school. Qin Xiaoyu replied politely, feeling a little regretful in her heart, she felt unwelcome from Liu Guixiang's polite smile. Now I don't have enough to eat, who wants to eat with an extra mouth at home.
Jiang Rui pulled Qin Xiaoyu into the back room and said to Liu Guixiang: "Mom, do we eat turtledoves at noon, so I asked my classmates to eat." ”
Liu Guixiang secretly glared at her daughter, she had just thought about it when she saw Qin Xiaoyu, stir-fry Chinese cabbage at noon today, and save the turtledove for dinner in the evening, but she didn't expect her daughter to say it directly.
Jiang Rui winked at her mother, and she knew that if she didn't say it, her mother would definitely be reluctant to do it.
Liu Guixiang was helpless, twelve turtle doves, ready to make four, and the rest of the night, just picked out four turtle doves from the snowdrift behind the house, Jiang Dayong came back with Luo Zhan.
Jiang Dayong looked at Liu Guixiang carrying four turtledoves in his hand, waved his hand and said, "Go and pick out the rest and stew it at noon." ”
Liu Guixiang was angry in her heart, this girl is really with her father, a little delicious, for fear that outsiders will not know, they all lead home, and they have to turn around and pull out the remaining turtledoves.
Jiang Dayong led Luo Zhan into the house, and saw his daughter and a classmate lying on the table doing homework.
"Ruirui, your Uncle Luo is here, say hello. Jiang Dayong shouted with a smile.
Jiang Rui raised her head and greeted Luo Zhan with a smile: "Uncle Luo is good." ”
Qin Xiaoyu looked up and saw that it was Luo Zhan, a little surprised, looking at Luo Zhan with big eyes, pursing his lips and smiling.
Luo Zhan saw Qin Xiaoyu when he entered the door, and was a little surprised.
Jiang Rui pulled Qin Xiaoyu to introduce Jiang Dayong and Luo Zhan and said, "Dad, Uncle Luo, this is my good friend Qin Xiaoyu. ”
"Hello uncle. Qin Xiaoyu greeted Jiang Dayong and Luo Zhan with a smile.
Jiang Dayong looked at Qin Xiaoyu and always felt very familiar, and said to Jiang Rui: "This little girl looks so familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere." ”
Jiang Rui blinked and said, "Dad, it's impossible, Qin Xiaoyu only came to our class today." ”
Luo Zhan smiled at Qin Xiaoyu and nodded, and sat on the simple wooden sofa with Jiang Dayong on the side to chat.
Jiang Rui and Qin Xiaoyu then sat down to do their homework, Jiang Rui leaned on Qin Xiaoyu and whispered in Qin Xiaoyu's ear: "Isn't this Uncle Luo very handsome?"
Qin Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, even if Luo Zhan is placed in the twenty-first century, he can kill all male gods in seconds.
Jiang Rui whispered again: "This Uncle Luo is not easy to get along with, do you know? ”
Qin Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and he shook his head in disbelief, how could it be? Luo Zhan is very good.
Luo Zhan and Jiang Dayong chatted, and Jiang Rui's so-called whispers were also listened to by him word for word, and he couldn't help but smile, laughing at Yan Luo, he really didn't know that he had such a nickname.
Liu Guixiang was reluctant to fry the turtledove, and finally felt that it was fuel-saving to stew, just put a little salt, and fried a Chinese cabbage, steamed rice and millet mixed with two rice.
Qin Xiaoyu took a bite of rice, her eyes were moist in her mouth, this was the first time she ate rice after she crossed, there is no rice here, rice is a rarity for rural people, many people buy a catty, boil gruel and drink it during the New Year, a handful of rice and a pot of soup.
Jiang Dayong was afraid that Qin Xiaoyu would be embarrassed, so he sandwiched two turtledoves for Qin Xiaoyu, and kept saying, "Eat more, and I will come to eat with Rui Rui when I have time in the future." He always felt that Qin Xiaoyu's eyes, especially when he pursed his lips and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, which was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
At this time, everyone was barely full, the turtle dove was hungry until the winter, and there was only a handful of bones left, a turtle dove did not have two taels of meat, Qin Xiaoyu only ate one, and put the remaining one back on the plate, because when she saw Luo Dayong clipping the turtle dove for her, a trace of unhappiness flashed on Liu Guixiang's face.
Luo Zhan sat on Qin Xiaoyu's right hand, watching Qin Xiaoyu's careful movements when eating, and because Liu Guixiang was only unhappy for a moment, he quickly put a turtle dove back on the plate, his eyes narrowed slightly and he was a little distressed.
Luo Zhan gave a turtledove in his bowl to Qin Xiaoyu and said, "Eat, I have an upset stomach for the past two days, and I can't eat too much meat." ”
Qin Xiaoyu knew that Luo Zhan was lying, and smiled at Luo Zhan with emotion.
Jiang Rui gnawed on the turtledove legs, and said with a smile at Qin Xiaoyu: "You hurry up and eat more, you see that we are the same age, you are much shorter than me, but you eat too little." ”
Qin Xiaoyu smiled and lowered his head and took a small bite of rice.
Jiang Dayong said to Luo Zhan: "When you go back to the outpost tomorrow, pull more cabbage up, and it will be green and yellow immediately, and it is estimated that there will be no cabbage to eat." ”
Luo Zhan nodded, at this time, before the spring planting and summer harvest, it is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, and the winter storage vegetables are almost eaten, and the spring vegetables have not come down yet, and you have to eat pickles for a long time to eat fresh vegetables.
