Liang Xin's action of chopping meat stopped, turned his head to look at Shu Qinghua outside the kitchen, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say?" ”

Shu Qinghua looked at her, but he was very calm, and said again: "Let's eat together." ”

Liang Xin was a little stunned, of course he didn't expect Shu Qinghua to let him eat with him. But thinking that this pork and celery was bought by himself, and it was no problem to eat it, Liang Xin nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Then you can do it." Shu Qinghua didn't say anything more, turned around and went back to the dining table to continue doing homework.

Thinking that he would be able to eat pork and celery dumplings later, Liang Xin was doubly motivated. She quickly chopped the meat puree, put it in a small porcelain basin, washed celery and green onions, all diced and chopped, and then mixed with the pork. Thinking about whether to put some ginger in the filling of this dumpling, she stretched out her head and asked Shu Qinghua.

Shu Qinghua still didn't raise his head and said, "Don't let it go, I don't like to eat." ”

"Okay." Liang Xin said yes, retracted his head and continued to work.

Add salt, pepper, monosodium glutamate and other ingredients to the filling, stir well, set aside, and find a clean basin to make noodles. The dough of the dumplings should be harder, otherwise it will be easy to spoil when wrapped in the pot. Liang Xin's strength is quite enough, and after reconciling the noodles, he kneaded them into strips, kneaded them into half an egg-sized dice, and then rolled them into skins, and the preparations were done.

For the rest, I still make dumplings one by one by hand. The wrapped dumplings are arranged in rows, and it is a delicious meal to look at.

After the dumplings were wrapped, Liang Xin added water to the pot and boiled over the fire. After the water boiled, the dumplings were directly served, because the pork in the dumplings was raw meat, so when the water boiled again, Liang Xin poured some cold water into it, and poured it three or four times, and saw that all the dumplings floated to the water, and Liang Xin turned off the fire.

The dumplings were cooked, and while Liang Xin was scooping the dumplings, he said to Shu Qinghua outside: "Put away the books and eat." ”

Shu Qinghua closed the book after hearing this, took it to the coffee table in front of the sofa, and sat down at the dining table again. He seems to be used to stretching out his hands when he comes to dinner, and he won't take the initiative to help Liang Xin do something.

Liang Xin first served two plates of dumplings, brought them to the table, put the chopsticks in his hand on the edge of the plate, and asked Shu Qinghua: "Do you want dumpling soup?" ”

"Let's put some of it here." Shu Qinghua said, picking up the chopsticks on the plate.

So, Liang Xin went back and served two bowls of dumpling soup, took a small bowl and poured some vinegar, and served them on the table in separate trips.

Shu Qinghua didn't wait for her, and had already eaten with chopsticks. After waiting for the vinegar, I picked up the dumplings and dipped them in vinegar. He just eats, and he doesn't say it's good or bad.

Liang Xin brought everything to the table, and took out the remaining dumplings in the pot to dry, and then went to the table by himself. She sat down at the table and picked up her chopsticks, cleared her throat, lowered her head and began to eat dumplings. Shu Qinghua didn't speak, and neither did she.

After Shu Qinghua finished eating the dumplings on his plate, Liang Xin hurriedly said, "Is it enough?" I can't finish this. As he spoke, he picked up a dumpling and wanted to put it on Shu Qinghua's plate.

Shu Qinghua glanced at her, she suddenly stopped her movements, retracted her chopsticks, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, that...... If it's not enough, there's still a little in the kitchen, I'll bring it to you. ”

"No need." Without waiting for Liang Xin to stand up, Shu Qinghua opened his mouth first, and then said, "It's on your plate." ”

"Oh......" Liang Xin was a little stunned, before he could reach out to clip it, Shu Qinghua had already pushed the plate over by himself, sandwiched three or four of them, and said, "That's enough." ”

"Oh......" Liang Xin still responded a little sluggishly.

Shu Qinghua finished eating the dumplings on the plate, put down the chopsticks, and suddenly asked, "You came from home at noon?" ”

"It's not." Liang Xin came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I came to sell fruit in the morning, and I happened to buy vegetables at noon." ”

"That's ......" Shu Qinghua whispered and asked her again: "What about the afternoon?" Still selling fruits? ”

"If you don't go, you have to read books and do homework." Liang Xin didn't know his intention to ask these questions, but he was telling the truth.

Shu Qinghua nodded and said, "Then you can read at my house, and by the way, clean up my house, no one has cleaned up for a long time." ”

"Okay." Liang Xin understood his intention and responded without hesitation. She won't hide from what she should do.

Liang Xin finished eating the dumplings on his plate, and when he was just full, he began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. And Shu Qinghua had already gone to sit on the sofa, holding a book in his hand, bowing his head and making a noise.

Liang Xin cleaned up the dining table and kitchen, and after coming out, he turned around again and looked for a broom and rag. She cleaned up all the corners and corners of Shu Qinghua's house, and even wiped the stairs. She didn't know if the room should be cleaned up, so she asked Shu Qinghua: "Does the room need to be cleaned?" ”

"Nope." Shu Qinghua shook his head, got up from the sofa, and said, "I'll go to sleep for a while, you can do whatever you want." ”

Liang Xin also had to cook dinner for Shu Qinghua, and if he went home, it would definitely be a waste of time. Since he let him stay at his house to read, Liang Xin was not polite. After she watched Shu Qinghua go upstairs, she sat down at the dining table and took out the textbooks and exercises she brought, and began to study.

At this time, it was still hot at noon, and eating lunch was especially drowsy. Liang Xin could bear the book first, but after reading for a while, his eyes began to squint. She yawned countless times, and finally fell asleep on the dining table.

When Shu Qinghua came down from upstairs after a sleep, Liang Xin didn't wake up. Shu Qinghua didn't wake her up, just brought his own book and sat down on the other side of the table. After sitting down for a while, he set his eyes on Liang Xin, who was sleeping quietly.

"If it's a little whiter......" Staring at Liang Xin for a long time, Shu Qinghua suddenly muttered half a sentence to himself, but it was only half a sentence. He stared at Liang Xin for a while, and finally regained his senses and began to do his homework.

When Liang Xin woke up, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, she got up from the table, covered her face and woke up for a long time, then heard Shu Qinghua say, "Go wash your face." ”

Liang Xin opened his fingers and looked out between his fingers, only to find that Shu Qinghua was sitting upright on the table writing. She put her hand down in a loud voice, and said in a very nasal voice, "You've been here all along?" ”

"Well, I've been here since I woke up." Shu Qinghua didn't look up.

"Then why don't you call me?" Liang Xin got up and went to the kitchen to fetch water to wash her face, but Shu Qinghua didn't answer her words.

Coming out of the kitchen and sitting down at the dining table, Liang Xin opened his book. Before doing the homework assigned by the teacher, she looked at Shu Qinghua, and the exercises he did in his hand didn't seem to be issued by the school.

"Have you finished the homework assigned by the teacher?" Liang Xin looked at his posture and asked casually.

"Hmm." Shu Qinghua said: "Do you want to copy it?" ”

"What?"

"Aren't you guys copying all your homework?" Shu Qinghua raised his head and looked at Liang Xin.

"Oh......" Liang Xin waved his hand and smiled, "Then I'm not one of those people." ”

"And who are you?" Shu Qinghua asked casually.

Liang Xin pressed the pages of the book with the hand of the pen, and said solemnly: "I am a serious person. ”

Shu Qinghua raised her eyelids and glanced at her.

Liang Xin was constantly asking questions when she was reading books all afternoon, and at first she was worried about Shu Qinghua's personality and was embarrassed to speak. Later, there were too many places stuck, so he looked at Shu Qinghua with an open attitude and asked, "Can I ask you questions?" ”

Shu Qinghua looked at her and nodded: "Yes." ”

Liang Xin got permission and pushed the book in front of him, from math questions to English grammar, big and small.

Shu Qinghua is not very good at lecturing topics, but he will find knowledge points, correspond to Liang Xin one by one, and tell her the application of knowledge points. For some problems, he directly gave the steps to solve the problem and let Liang Xin see it. As for English, he said: "English is nothing, memorizing it to cultivate a sense of language, and what I am learning is very simple at present." ”

Liang Xin scratched his head, with a bitter expression, and didn't think so in his heart.

Shu Qinghua looked at her expression and suddenly asked, "Didn't you cheat on your junior high school results?" ”

Liang Xin raised his head suddenly, his heart was weak, but he still shook his head and said firmly: "No! ”

Shu Qinghua's face was expressionless, according to his understanding this afternoon, Liang Xin was definitely not the fifth person in the class. Even if you report to school a little late and miss most of the class, you won't suddenly become this level. The things in junior high school are simple, and you can basically make up for it.

And now Liang Xin, she can't integrate a lot of knowledge and use it, or in other words, she has no foundation. I forgot what I learned in elementary school, and I didn't know how to use it flexibly when I learned it in junior high school. It's okay to use a simple knowledge point, but she can't use anything complicated.

Shu Qinghua didn't break it, but said: "Continue to do the question." ”

Liang Xin buried his head and could only continue to read the book and do the question. Of course, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her IQ, she firmly believed it, but she had been out of the textbook for a long time, and she couldn't get into it for a while. Her current state is that she has a headache when she sees math definitions and formula exercises, as well as English words, and feels unusually messy, and instinctively repulsive. I haven't touched these things for decades, and I haven't used my brain like this for decades, so I can say that I can adapt to it. It was only then that she realized that those students who did not study well were probably not stupid, but just couldn't learn.

When it was almost six o'clock in the evening, Liang Xin saw that the sky was slightly dark, so he put down the pen in his hand, closed the book and said, "I'll cook for you, and I'll go home when it's ready." ”

"Okay." Shu Qinghua also closed the book and stood up from the dining table.

"Will I fry you the dumplings at noon?" Liang Xin put all his textbooks in his satchel.

Shu Qinghua shook his head: "I don't like leftovers." ”

Liang Xin looked up at him: "Then you don't want to pour it out, right?" In that case, you might as well let me take it home. ”

"Well, whatever you want." Shu Qinghua didn't care where the dumplings went.

Liang Xin thought about it, so he had to simply order him a bowl of noodles. She didn't want to stay longer, so she said to Shu Qinghua after finishing the noodles: "You can put the dishes and chopsticks away after eating, and I will wash them tomorrow." I'm going home now, and my grandma is waiting for me at home to eat. ”

Shu Qinghua said while eating noodles: "Okay." took two yuan and sent it to Liang Xin, and let Liang Xin go. The extra piece, that's the money to buy vegetables.

Liang Xin didn't want to take advantage of him much, so he asked him: "What Ming'er wants to eat, I'll buy it at noon and make it." ”

"Whatever you want." Shu Qinghua still said so.

Liang Xin found that Shu Qinghua was not picky about what he ate, but he didn't say anything about it. Only when you run into it, will you say it. For example, if you don't eat ginger, don't eat leftovers, you don't know what will come next.

This is the most difficult thing to serve, but there is no way, so I can only serve blindly.

On the way back, Liang Xin pedaled the cart fast and rushed all the way home. When she got home, Grandma Liang still cooked the meal, sitting outside the fence courtyard door and waving a pu fan waiting for her to come back.

In the past, Grandma Liang's life was not promising, and it was a day by day. After eating and drinking for a lifetime, I was used to it, and I didn't think about it. Otherwise, there is nothing to worry about. But since Liang Xin lived with her, she had such a hope in her heart. Looking forward to when the eldest granddaughter will come back, looking forward to when the eldest granddaughter will grow up, and so on.

With hope, life will have a taste.

Liang Xin rode a scooter and saw Grandma Liang outside the courtyard gate, and waved at her from afar to call "grandma". Every now and then, Grandma Liang's heart is like being filled with honey, so sweet that you don't want it.

When he got home and stopped the cart, Liang Xin washed his hands quickly and took out a rectangular aluminum lunch box from his satchel. The lunch box was taken at Shu Qinghua's house and returned it tomorrow.

"What are you doing with the lunch box?" Grandma Liang asked and was about to go to serve dinner.

Liang Xin stopped her with a smile and said, "Grandma, you can help me make a fire, there are good things for you to eat." ”

"What's that?" Grandma Liang looked at her suspiciously.

Liang Xin still smiled mysteriously, first took out the porridge in the pot, washed the pot, and then asked Grandma Liang to help light the fire. Grandma Liang sat down on the back of the pot and lit a fire to add hay.

After burning for a while, I only heard the sound of oil, and the fragrance came out again. Grandma Liang sniffed her nose, stretched out her head and said, "What is it?" ”

Liang Xin said with a smile while frying dumplings on the pot: "Pork and celery dumplings, fry them with some oil." ”

When Grandma Liang heard the word "pork", she stood up directly and looked into the pot, her eyes widened, and she said in a catly voice: "Where did it come from?" Xin'er. ”

Liang Xin was reluctant to put much oil, and the fried dumplings changed color slightly. In short, the weather is not cold, and there is no problem with being cold. She took out the dumplings one by one, put them in a porcelain bowl, and said, "I went to a nanny in the town to make money, and his family didn't eat the leftovers, so I saw that it was a pity, so I brought them back." ”

"Reluctant?" Grandma Liang's voice is still small, I'm really afraid that people will listen to it.

"His family has money, what is there to be reluctant to?" Liang Xin put the bowl on the table: "Grandma, let's eat." ”

Grandma Liang came out from behind the pot and sat down at the table. picked up the chopsticks and was watched by Liang Xin for a long time, and he was reluctant to let go of the chopsticks. If it's not a New Year's holiday, who can afford to eat a little meat star? is her daughter Liang Yiping's house, at most, she will buy some eggs at home, and she is not willing to eat them every day.

Of course, Liang Xin knew her psychology, but stared at her and said, "I just said it yesterday, and grandma said that it wasn't to coax me." ”

Grandma Liang swallowed her saliva, as if she had made a big decision, and said, "I'll eat!" That's when I got off the chopsticks and clamped one.

I put it in my mouth, the skin is crispy and the filling is fragrant, and my tongue will follow after eating. Grandma Liang looked at Liang Xin while eating, and couldn't help but say, "You eat too, hurry up!" ”

"I ate a lot at noon." Liang Xin smiled and picked up a dumpling, because he had eaten it at noon, he was not very greedy at this time. She saw that Grandma Liang was satisfied, and she was also satisfied.

While eating, Liang Xin would glance outside from time to time. In the yard, there are still clothes from yesterday's bath and washing, hanging on the hemp rope and swinging.

Liang Xin saw the washed polka dot flower skirt, so she asked Grandma Liang: "What happened to Liang Yue?" ”

"I don't know, I didn't come this day." Grandma Liang said: "Last night's incident was not small, she was afraid that she was scared enough." I don't know if I will recruit your mother to beat you when I go home, if I don't have a long memory, I will not be sensible! ”

"I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that she doesn't think there's anything wrong with herself, and she only holds a grudge against her sister-in-law." Liang Xin took a sip of porridge to quench her thirst and continued: "Although what my sister-in-law did last night was indeed enough to make her hold a grudge. ”

"If you hold a grudge, you can hold a grudge, there are many people who hate your sister-in-law." Grandma Liang said and shook her head: "If she doesn't change, she will suffer sooner or later." ”

"Who?" Liang Xin didn't hear who Grandma Liang was talking about.

Grandma Liang said, "Your sister-in-law! ”

Liang Xin looked at Grandma Liang and pursed her lower lip and didn't speak.

After getting close to Liang Yiping and discovering that she has her own personality charm, this has always been what Liang Xin has been worried about. Her sister-in-law Liang Yiping does everything according to her mood, and it is better to be happy, but she never thinks about the consequences. When she is proud, she is indeed beautiful, but if she encounters a little stumbling and is unlucky one day, can those who are offended by her not fall into the ground?

How is the heart of the people, there are very few people who repay grievances with virtue.

Who can guarantee that who will have a smooth ride all their lives without encountering a setback?

Judging from the current situation, Liang Yiping is an alternative in this village, and Xu Qinglian is the majority of the village. So when Xu Qinglian was in trouble, all she gave was sympathy and help, and the neighbors in the township were kind to her. When Liang Xin jumped up and rebelled, the saliva and accusations were also directed at Liang Xin, only her grandmother who loved her and Liang Yiping, who wanted to do it against Xu Qinglian, helped her. And if Xu Qinglian is replaced by Liang Yiping, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive a day in this village.

Thinking of this, Liang Xin silently took a sip of porridge.

There were not many dumplings left at noon, Grandma Liang ate three, Liang Xin ate two, and there were two left. Grandma Liang looked at the dumplings, stopped putting down the chopsticks, and asked Liang Xin: "Xin'er eat another one, and I'll send the remaining one to your eldest brother, your eldest brother is coming home tonight." ”

Liang Xin knows that among the four grandchildren, Grandma Liang likes her the most, and then her eldest brother Liang Ming. It is estimated that the eldest brother Liang Ming looks like her father, and his temperament is also similar, looking at Sven is honest, does not fight or grab, does not talk much, and does not like to get involved, which happens to be the type that Grandma Liang likes.

Grandma Liang wanted to send it, but Liang Xin didn't stop it. For dinner, she washed the dishes and left the remaining two dumplings untouched.

Grandma Liang didn't take the dumplings to the east so much, but went over there by herself, and when she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she raised her voice and asked, "Is Liang Ming home?" ”

Liang Yue's head poked out of the stove room and said, "Big brother is back, grandma, after eating, I'm in the hall." ”

Grandma Liang heard this, went straight into the courtyard and went directly to the hall. When he arrived at the hall, Liang Ming stood up from the table, shook two steps to Grandma Liang and said, "Grandma is here." ”

Grandma Liang saw that there was Liang Jun next to her, and she was afraid that she would hear it, so she approached Liang Ming and whispered: "Grandma's family has two pork and celery dumplings, they are fried and kept for you, you go over and eat them!" ”
