Chapter 66 Sixty-Six
sixty-six
Boiled noodles? He cooks noodles? Xu You's stomach was full of anger in an instant, how could Zhao Chengjin know how to cook noodles? She looked at him hesitantly, her heart slightly sour.
Xu Youzhi said that he has suffered a lot in the past few years, and he was happy for him when he overturned Hu Pengcheng when he divided it by two in three strokes, but now that he thinks about it, he is sad again. This young boy wanders alone, how hard does it take to grow up little by little, and he still grows up so well and so fast...... The more he knew, the more sad Xu Yu felt in his heart.
"Are you burning your hands?" Zhao Chengjin walked to her side and squatted down, and naturally took her hand over to take a closer look, "It's all red, you have to wash it with water quickly, otherwise Ming'er will have to afford blisters." After he finished speaking, he got up and went to the cupboard to look for a long time, and after a while, he turned out a small jar of white sugar, scooped a little sugar from it and spread it on Xu You's scalded fingers, and soaked it with water.
"Why do you want to do this?" Xu You asked curiously.
"I learned a home remedy from elsewhere, and it works." Zhao Cheng saw that Xu Yu didn't show his face to him again, and immediately became happy, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes involuntarily brought a smile, "Xiaoxue, you sit down for a while, I'll be soon." With that, he rolled up his sleeves and squatted down to the stove to make a fire.
Xu You looked down at his fingers that were tightly wrapped in sugar, and did not move or make a sound. When he looked up again, Zhao Chengjin had already raised the fire, put a few firewood into the stove, and when the fire in the stove gradually burned, he suddenly jumped up and hurriedly jumped up to scoop water into the pot as if he remembered something.
"I ...... I forgot to boil water. He was a little embarrassed, his face slightly reddened, and it was clearly visible in the dim and jumping candlelight, "I'll fry you an egg." He quickly diverted the topic, turned his head sideways, and hid his flushed face in the dark, "Is it poached eggs or egg skin soup?" ”
He's going to do tricks!
"Egg skin soup." Xu You squatted under the stove and watched the fire, holding his cheeks and watching Zhao Cheng busy with his heart. After a while, the water boiled, he boiled the noodles, took a bowl and squatted beside Xu You to beat the eggs, "...... I used to have a cook at home who could spread the egg skin very thinly, but I didn't pay attention to that at that time, and I didn't learn about it. I learned this from the chef in the village in the mountains. He was a fat man, very strong, and his cooking was delicious, but unfortunately something happened to him and he left suddenly......"
"And then?" Xu You looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "Where did you go later?" She asked about the daytime, Zhao Chengjin raised his eyes and looked at her, immediately understood, paused, but did not hide it, "I did a little favor and led the officers and soldiers elsewhere." Seeing that Xu You's face suddenly became ugly, he quickly explained: "Don't worry, they didn't notice me." I...... I don't want to cause trouble for the Meng family. ”
Xu You believed him, but she was still angry, she couldn't say that she was angry, but she didn't get along with herself this time, Zhao Chengjin cooked the noodles and brought them over, she glared at him fiercely and started eating, taking a big gulp, Zhao Chengjin sat opposite her, and her slightly sharp eyebrows on weekdays were a little distorted in the dim light, and she was gentle in an instant, staring at her quietly, her eyes like water.
At this moment, Xu You couldn't get angry.
The noodles were cooked a little too much, and Xu You was a little stretched after eating half of them, but he was embarrassed to put down his chopsticks. After all, this is the noodles cooked by the prince of the Rui Wangfu, and ordinary people can't eat them.
As soon as she hesitated slightly, Zhao Chengjin saw it and asked softly, "Full?" Without waiting for Xu Yu to reply, he laughed first, "I haven't cooked for a long time, and I missed a little, and I just put a small wisp at the beginning, but I was afraid that it would not be enough, so I put more of it, and the result was more." ”
"Give it to me." He said, took the chopsticks from Xu You's hand, brought the remaining small half bowl of noodles to himself, and said, "I'm also a little hungry." Then, like an autumn breeze sweeping away the leaves, he ate the remaining half bowl of noodles as quickly as possible. Xu You looked at him stunned for a long time, and suddenly couldn't say a word.
There was a soft sound outside the door, and the two of them looked up, Hu Pengcheng opened the door with a painful face covering his stomach, his eyes swept around the table, and he immediately became anxious and angry, jumped up and scolded Zhao Chengjin angrily: "Okay, you brother Shun, a guy with no conscience, you don't call me if you sneak out to get food." Lao Tzu is dying of hunger. ”
Zhao Cheng looked at him with a calm face, "It just so happens that there is still a fire in the stove, you hurry up and get it." ”
"Huh?" Hu Pengcheng was stunned for a moment, and jumped forward to look at the bowl in front of Zhao Chengjin, okay, there was not even any soup left, "It's gone?" He was very angry and glared at him angrily, "It's really unjust, aren't we brothers who live and die together?" If you have food, you don't call me ......"
Zhao Chengjin looked at him indifferently, and said slowly: "Do you really dare to say that you live and die together?" ”
Hu Pengcheng's face turned red, and he was still a little embarrassed, he laughed twice, rubbed his hands and said, "They are all brothers, why bother to distinguish them so clearly?" He sat down, scratched his head, first looked at Xu You, caught a glimpse of her injured fingers, and then looked at Zhao Chengjin, and vaguely understood something in his heart, sighed helplessly, and said, "How do you cook this thing?" "He doesn't dare to work hard for Zhao Cheng's solemn drive!
Zhao Cheng took the noodles to him and went to help him light the fire. Hu Pengcheng scooped a scoop of water and put it into the pot, and after a while, he felt that the water was almost hot, so he hurriedly put the noodles into the pot, Xu You hurriedly stopped him, "What are you doing, you can't put it now." ”
Hu Pengcheng immediately kicked his nose on his face, salivated and asked, "Why don't you help me cook it, Sister Xiaoxue?" ”
Before Xu You could say anything, Zhao Chengjin had already glared at him angrily, his voice was very low, but obviously angry, "Hu Pengcheng, what are you doing?" Coax Xiaoxue to cook for you, and be shameless. Don't you see her hands are hot? If you don't know how to do it, don't eat it. ”
Hu Pengcheng was really a little stunned by Zhao Chengjin, and when he scolded him like this, he immediately became honest, shrunk his neck and muttered in a low voice: "If you do it, you can do it, but if you do it for me, it won't work, what is the reason." After he finished speaking, he quietly glanced at Zhao Chengjin, and saw that his face sank like water, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Although Xu You didn't know how to burn the fire, it was still not a problem to guide Hu Pengcheng to cook a bowl of noodles, but Zhao Cheng didn't mention the eggs, so she didn't say anything, so Hu Pengcheng spent a long time cooking a bowl of clear soup noodles, didn't even sprinkle green onions, and ate a whole bowl of noodles with two drops of sesame oil. Xu You suddenly felt that this child was quite easy to raise.
After the worst, Zhao Chengjin also forced Hu Pengcheng to clean up the kitchen, Xu You looked at it more and more funny, and when she finished eating and went back to the house to rest, she found that she was not angry at all.
When she got up in the morning, Xu You found that the fingers that were burned last night were all healed, and there were no red marks left, and she touched it, and it didn't hurt.
opened the door, Zhao Chengjin boxed in the courtyard, he wore a loose old robe, his hair was neatly combed, his waist was as straight as a green pine, the morning sun was still very gentle, obliquely shining into the courtyard, falling on his head and body, sprinkled with a faint golden light, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off.
Seeing Xu You come out, Zhao Chengjin's gaze immediately swept over, and the two glanced at each other, and a slight smile quickly appeared on his face, which became vivid in an instant. Xue Daddy and Second Uncle were not there, only Ah Chu, a little bean ding, accompanied them, learning Zhao Chengjin's posture one by one, serious and serious, and even sweating on his nose.
Xu You ran around the small courtyard a few times, and Hu Pengcheng finally got up when he was having breakfast, but he still didn't wake up with half-squinted eyes, Ah Chu taught him seriously, "Brother Xiaopeng, you can't do this, you're too lazy, no wonder even Brother Xiaoshun can't beat him." ”
Hu Pengcheng glared at him with a steamed bun in his mouth, "Little Beanding, I want you to take care of it!" ”
Ah Chu said proudly: "I don't bother to care about you, in a few years, when I grow up, you can't even beat me." ”
Hu Pengcheng was so angry that his nose was about to crooked, but he couldn't find anything to refute him, after all, with his age, even if he could defeat Ah Chu, it was not a thing worth showing off. Hu Pengcheng gritted his teeth angrily and thought for a while, and said fiercely: "You just wait, I will follow Xiaoshun to learn martial arts tomorrow." ”
Everyone thought it was just a casual remark he said, and they didn't take it seriously, but they didn't expect Hu Pengcheng to really get up the next morning. However, his body was not good, so he was out of breath and sweating profusely after studying with Zhao Chengjin for a quarter of an hour, but he actually persevered, and after a set of punches, the whole person was as if he was fished out of the water, and he didn't even want to eat breakfast, so he sat down at the table and collapsed.
Because of the robbery of prisoners in Heifeng Village, Xue Dad and Second Uncle Meng have been very busy recently, and it is common not to go home for three or five days. Hu Pengcheng went home once, and when he came back, he quietly said to Xu You: "It's all blind, my father doesn't want to arrest people at all, and Meng Zhutou and them are just perfunctory to those Hu people and show them a look." Who wants to help the Hu people beat our own people......"
It turns out that Xue Daddy and Second Uncle Meng are both acting, no wonder they have been busy for so many days, and they don't see the two of them lose a little weight, and they are still in good spirits when they go home occasionally. However, Zhao Chengjin breathed a heavy sigh of relief after hearing the news.
Hu Pengcheng lived in Meng's house for a while, and gradually settled down, but he didn't run home much, "...... My house is a mess, my aunts quarrel every day, none of my sisters are fuel-efficient lamps, and the food they earn and grab is ugly, I would rather be taught a lesson by Ah Chu's little bean ding here than go back......"
Ah Chu, who was peeling beans on the side, glanced at him unhappily, but this time he didn't teach him a lesson.
"Sister, I want to get a cat." Ah Chu suddenly said: "Xiao Wu said that Ah Guo of the Liu family in the alley has several cats, let's go pick one up and raise it, okay?" ”
Xu You was stunned for a moment, and Zhao Chengjin also raised his head to look at her, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were like water. Hu Pengcheng suddenly said in a loud voice: "What, raising a cat?" Don't! Cats are very difficult to raise, they are not familiar with them, and they may run away one day. It's better to have a dog, smart and loyal, and follow him wherever he goes. ”
"But cats are smart, too." Ah Chu hurriedly retorted, "The black cat of the Little Five family is smart, especially listening to my sister's words, and coming as soon as she beckons, isn't it, sister?" ”
Xu You smiled unnaturally, thought about it, and asked solemnly: "Ah Chu really wants to raise a cat?" Raising a cat is not an easy task, you have to feed it every day, feed it, feed it, bathe it every now and then, and catch lice. Sometimes the kitten will crawl into your bed and you won't be able to catch up......"
Zhao Chengjin's face involuntarily showed a look of nostalgia, and his expression was extremely gentle.
Ah Chu nodded resolutely, but the second aunt was still a little unhappy, and said, "Ah Chu, you think about it carefully, we won't help you." ”
Hu Pengcheng couldn't help but want to persuade him again, "Ah Chu, if you have a dog, I will help you, and I can help you walk the dog." ”
But Ah Chu is still determined to keep a cat. The second aunt couldn't resist him, and when they came back from school that day, there was really a little milk cat in the house.
The little milk cat is only about a month, very small, and trembling when he walks, Ah Chu can't put it down, and personally makes a nest for it, and accompanies the cat to talk as soon as he learns. Xu You sometimes goes over to take a few looks, touch it, the little milk cat likes Xu You very much, every time she sees her, she will hum and chirp over to be coquettish, and Ah Chu is very envious.
"Sister, I gave it a name." Ah Chushen mysteriously leaned into Xu You's ear and whispered, "Guess what it's called?" ”
Xu You shook his head, "I can't guess." She saw Ah Chu's disappointed look, and hurriedly said, "Hmm, I want to think about it, it's called noodles?" Or else, mung bean cake? She didn't have any concept of naming her pet, so she casually thought of a few foods, and Zhao Yanran's almond cake was very good.
"Oh no, you guessed wrong," but a little close. Ah Chu smiled proudly, "It's called Nest-Silk-Sugar!" ”
Xu You's face changed suddenly, "No, this name is not good." ”
"For what?" Ah Chu was a little unhappy, "Isn't this name good?" I love it. ”
"This is the name of the cat that your little brother Shun used to raise, you scream all day long, Brother Shun heard it, didn't he always think of his cat, how sad." She has seen Zhao Cheng mention himself, he is usually such a strong person, when he talks about cats, his eyes will be red, and Xu You is very sad to see it.
Ah Chu touched the back of his head with some confusion, "But, isn't the cat raised by Brother Xiaoshun called Xuetuan?" He said it. ”
"Snow balls are nest candy!" Xu You solemnly told him, "That cat has two names, anyway, you are not allowed to mention it, if it makes Brother Shun sad, I will ...... I just ......" She thought for a long time and didn't say anything threatening, after all, Ah Chu was a well-behaved and intelligent child, and he would never make such a mistake at all.
However, Xu You never expected that although he didn't meet Zhao Cheng in person, he couldn't help but say to Hu Pengcheng, "...... It's now called Little Red Bean, I originally wanted to name it Wo Si Tang, but my sister didn't let it, because the cat that Xiao Shun used to raise was called Wo Si Tang, and later, the cat died in order to save Xiao Shun, Xiao Shun has been very sad, and every time he talks about it, he will cry ......"
"Oh......" Hu Pengcheng's eyes lit up, and he felt as if he knew something great, as if he had grabbed Zhao Shun's handle......
The author has something to say: I feel as if I have a nervous breakdown now, and I feel noisy from morning till night, and it is noisy everywhere, ahhhh!!h
