Chapter 8: Together

Aunt Wen's willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, her eyes were full of melancholy, and the front of her dark blue chest had been soaked, full of Ning Jinyun's tears. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Yun'er, what's wrong, tell my aunt quickly, I just heard from Mother Liu that you went to ask the old lady to say goodbye, but the old lady reprimanded you?" Aunt Wen's tone was slightly anxious.

Ning Jinyun choked up and couldn't speak, only his little head shook twice like a rattle.

Aunt Wen said worriedly, "It's not the old lady, that's Li Jing, is it your Aunt Li looking for your fault again?" Yes, it must be her, she always can't get used to you, and she comes to kill you as if she wants to eat people, which is really unreasonable. ā€

Wen Shi hung her head helplessly, and let the two locks of hair on her sideburns cross her eyes, covering her slightly reddened eyes, she had expected that Ning Jinyun was made to cry by Li, and she inevitably felt distressed. She said softly, "Yun'er, don't cry, quickly wipe away your tears, and my aunt will make you Langya halva to eat in a while, okay?" ā€

Every time she encounters this kind of thing, Aunt Wen blames herself very much in her heart, and always feels that all this is her fault, if she is not too weak and powerless, how can Yun'er be bullied to such a point? She was helpless, but there was nothing she could do.

Aunt Wen's soft palm caressed Ning Jinyun's hair kindly, trying to give her some comfort.

Ning Jinyun raised her hazy teary eyes, reached out and wiped her tears with her sleeve, and then said, "No, my grandmother didn't reprimand me, and Aunt Li didn't embarrass me, I just ...... It's just that some want to cry. ā€

After going through so many things, how could she be indifferent when she saw her loved ones again. However, she can't tell the whole story, because no one will believe that she can be reborn, only that she is crazy.

Aunt Wen put her hand on Ning Jinyun's forehead and wondered, "Have you drunk medicine obediently in the past few days, has the wind and cold worsened again?" Otherwise, I want to cry in a good way. ā€

"My illness has been cured, maybe it's because I'm still uncomfortable." Ning Jinyun didn't know how to explain, so she had to hurriedly divert the conversation, lest Aunt Wen ask again, she changed to a coquettish tone, "However, you just said that if I stop crying, you will make me halva to eat, does this still count?" ā€

Aunt Wen looked at her dotingly, sighed, and responded, "You kid, okay, make halva for you, when have I ever spoken, but you have to promise your aunt that you can't eat too much, so as not to spoil your throat." ā€

"That's nature, I can eat as much as you want me to eat, and I will never take an extra piece." Ning Jinyun raised his face, nodded childishly, and grinned, revealing bright teeth as bright as pearls.

Looking at her bright smile, Aunt Wen also laughed, "You, what a child, you change your face when you say it, you change your face, you were still crying just now, and now you are laughing heartlessly." ā€

After that, Aunt Wen scraped Ning Jinyun's nose with her hand, and then got up and went to the small kitchen in the courtyard to make her sweet food.

Each courtyard in Ningfu has a separate kitchen, and everyone usually prepares their own food in their own courtyard, so they don't have to get together in a noisy manner, except for festivals and banquets, the rest of the time they eat their own food.

There are two chefs with good cooking skills in the Red Peony Courtyard, but despite this, Aunt Wen still cooks herself from time to time to cook some extra delicious food for Ning Jinyun. Aunt Wen was originally a Jiangnan woman, she likes sweets and is good at cooking sweets, her cooking skills can be regarded as excellent, but she can't get into the eyes of Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Ning thinks that these are just some small tricks that can't be taken on the table, and they are not needed at all in the Ning family, who don't worry about food and clothing.

As soon as Aunt Wen's foot crossed the threshold, she saw Ah Lian kneeling outside at a glance, Ah Lian's face was full of grievances, her fat round face was long, and she pouted a pair of thick lips, obviously dissatisfied with her punishment, she saw Aunt Wen come out, as if she saw a rescuer, her eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Wen anxiously, and she squeezed her eyebrows and eyes, trying to ask for help.

"Yun'er, what's wrong? What did Ah Lian do wrong, why did she kneel here. Aunt Wen looked back in surprise and asked, with a pair of willow eyebrows raised.

Ning Jinyun glanced at Ah Lian, her expression fell, and she said in a deep voice, "If you make a mistake, you should be punished, don't make a sound, kneel honestly!" Then, she took Aunt Wen's thin arm and said with a smile, "It's just a subordinate who has been punished for kneeling, and it's not a big deal, let's go, Auntie, I can't wait to eat halva soon." ā€

Aunt Wen couldn't resist her, so she had to ignore Ah Lian's affairs for the time being, and let Ning Jinyun pull her forward, her figure was petite, and the height of the fourteen-year-old Ning Jinyun was similar, and from a distance, the two of them felt a little like sisters.

Soon, there was a burst of laughter in the small kitchen, Aunt Wen had a gray dark apron around her waist, and she was standing in front of the board with a basin to work, while Ning Jinyun was stained with flour on her hands, and kept making trouble for Wen's on the side. She smeared the white flour on Aunt Wen's neck for a while, and then used flour to please Qingyun, Qingyun couldn't dodge, and she wiped a little flower face.

Seeing Qing Yun's face stained with flour and stunned funny looks, Ning Jinyun and Wen couldn't stand up with a straight smile, but Qing Yun couldn't smile bitterly, and couldn't understand when the young lady became so naughty.

After a while, after Aunt Wen's skillful cooking, the Langya halva was finally ready, and the sweet fragrance spread, and people couldn't help but drool when they smelled it. This kind of Langya halva is made of pure white sesame seeds, powdered sugar, flour, etc., after the sugar block is evenly thickened, the bone is thin like paper, the entrance is crisp and soft, the fragrance is rich, but it is sweet but not greasy, and even has the reputation of "fragrant cloud outsiders, taste leads to the fairy in the cave".

Looking at the steaming halva that had just come out of the pot, Ning Jinyun was looking at it, she waited aside, always thinking about stretching out a chopstick and tasting something fresh.

Aunt Wen patted her hand and reminded, "Not yet, wait a little longer, it has to be cold to be delicious." "The halva can only be formed and hardened after it is cooled, and it will have a crispy taste after the mouth.

Ning Jinyun had no choice but to put away her chopsticks, sit quietly on the small stool by the stove, and wait obediently, her afterglow fell on Qingyun and Aunt Wen, and she suddenly felt that this feeling was so good.

In the small dining room, there were only three of them, hanging around an inconspicuous halva, which was the most ordinary day, and it was also the good day she wanted to keep the most......
