Chapter 201: The second aunt came to the door
(This month's recommended ticket for the second time over 500 plus more delivery)
If you don't think about the fact that Kong Xiaoju hasn't returned home yet, in this autumn, Yu Mingyue, who has made a lot of money, is in a good mood.
On the twelfth day of the winter moon, when she pulled Yu Mingyan to hum nursery rhymes all the way home after school, the moment she saw Kong Xiaohan sitting in the courtyard, Yu Mingyue's good mood disappeared in an instant.
Alas, it seems that something has gone wrong on my grandmother's side again.
Thinking so in her heart, Yu Mingyue quickened her steps, although she was worried, she didn't immediately ask about Luo Zhengfen's situation when she came to the courtyard, but politely smiled sweetly at Kong Xiaohan.
"Second aunt."
"Hey." Kong Xiaohan had already seen Yu Mingyue just now, and after forcing a smile at this time, he looked at Yu Mingyue up and down, turned back to Kong Xiaoyu and sighed: "Alas, I haven't seen her for more than a year, Xiaoyue is taller than my Xiaolan, Xiaolan is almost a year older than Xiaoyue, last year"
Speaking of this, Kong Xiaohan paused for a moment, and after showing a trace of embarrassment on his face, he continued: "Speaking of which, I really have no face, when I gave birth to Xiaozhu in early April last year, the eldest sister also took Xiaoyue to my house to send moon rice, but when you gave birth to this pair of twin nephews in March this year, I didn't have time to come up." ”
"Hey, look at you, they are all sisters of the same mother, you say that, you will see the outside, at that time your mother-in-law was seriously ill and living in the district hospital, how can you still get out, after all, you are doing it with a family, and there are sisters and sisters who are comparing. But we didn't hear the letter at that time. Otherwise, you should have asked your brother-in-law to visit your mother-in-law in the hospital. ”
When Kong Xiaoyu said, she gently patted Kong Xiaohan's hand, this second sister is good at everything, but she likes to compare with her brothers and sisters in everything, she is too strong and too face-saving.
Kong Xiaoyu's words made Kong Xiaohan feel a lot more relaxed, nodded and forced a smile, although she and Kong Xiaoyu, the eldest sister, had been competing for favor in front of her parents for more than 20 years when she was not married, and she loved to compare with this eldest sister in everything after she got married. But now Kong Xiaoyu's family is buying cars and doing business, and she has been married to the Liao family for a few years. How can people who can only work all year round and can't manage things and money?
Although it is clear that now there is only envy of Kong Xiaoyu. But because of this, I felt that Kong Xiaoyu was lowered, and my heart was a little bitter.
has been a sister for more than 20 years, Kong Xiaoyu still knows Kong Xiaohan very well. I saw the bitterness on Kong Xiaohan's face. Kong Xiaoyu also knew more or less what she was thinking.
Think of these. Kong Xiaoyu also comforted with some emotion: "We all know that your in-laws are powerful, and your four concubines are not easy to get along with, living with such a large family." Who is not aggrieved in his heart? But now that your in-laws are also old, I think it won't take a few years to divide your family, and as long as you and your brother-in-law are the masters of the house, everything will be fine."
"The most, I'm looking forward to that day, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to live all these years until now, when I first married Liao Wuqiang, I was really" Kong Xiaohan was obviously persuaded by Kong Xiaoyu's words, which evoked the sadness of many years, and talked about the unsatisfactory past in the Liao family over the years.
Yu Mingyue saw that the two of them talked about the ancient times, and she didn't plan to stand next to listen to it, thinking that Kong Xiaoyu didn't mention the matter of eating when she came back, she guessed that she hadn't had time to cook lunch in a hurry, so she directly pulled Yu Mingyan, who was standing obediently next to her, and prepared to go to the stove room to prepare lunch.
Seeing Yu Mingyue pulling Yu Mingyan to the stove room, Kong Xiaoyu thought that the rice was still steaming in the pot, and hurriedly shouted: "Ah, Xiaoyue, the rice is still in the pot, if you and Xiaoyan are hungry, eat some biscuits to pad their stomachs, and I will go to stir-fry immediately." ”
Seeing Kong Xiaoyu standing up as she spoke, Yu Mingyue hurriedly stopped with a smile: "Mom, it's rare for the second aunt to come here, you can talk to the second aunt well, don't worry about the meal." ”
"Hehe, that's okay, the meat should be thawed now, you can watch it." Seeing that her daughter was so caring, Kong Xiaoyu grinned lightly and responded, but Kong Xiaohan next to her was a little surprised by this question, the two families don't move around often, and she doesn't know that Yu Mingyue can cook.
"Eldest sister, can Xiaoyue cook?"
Listening to Kong Xiaohan's words to Kong Xiaoyu, Yu Mingyue, who was turning around and walking towards the stove room, paused at her feet, but did not stop, but went directly into the stove room, preparing to do her best to have a hearty lunch and entertain this second aunt who had not been to her house for many years.
Speaking of this second aunt Kong Xiaohan, Yu Mingyue is very affectionate and grateful to her, although Kong Xiaohan does not have much contact with her family in this life, in Yu Mingyue's memory of this life, Kong Xiaohan has only been to her house three times, and she is not close to Kong Xiaoyu, and some like to compete for favor and squeeze Kong Xiaoyu in front of Luo Zhengfen, but Yu Mingyue always remembers that when she was just reborn, Kong Xiaohan went to the hospital to visit and take care of her family of three, and Kong Xiaohan took care of her for many years in her previous life.
Although Kong Xiaohan in this life is very different from the previous life, for Yu Mingyue, Kong Xiaohan is still a relative she attaches importance to, and this attention, although it is not as good as Kong Mingfu Yu Tianxiang and other people who live together day and night, but it is not much less.
Yu Mingyue sometimes sighs, the world is really unpredictable, in the previous life, her mother was gone when she was three months old, but the second aunt was very good to her, although it was difficult for the second aunt to live in the family at that time, but the second aunt would visit her at least once a year, bring her some food or study utensils or something, and take her to her home to live for some time during the holidays. Later, when the family was separated, she took more care of her, and when she lived in her grandfather's house, the second aunt with a better family background returned to her grandfather's house, in addition to buying her a new dress and a pair of new shoes every year, and would also give some money to supplement her tuition fees or something.
She always thought in her heart that this second aunt had a good relationship with her mother and sisters, so she took care of her so much, but who would have thought that her mother did not die in that accident in this life, but this second aunt has always been not close to her mother, not to mention that when she goes back to her parents' house once or twice a year, she often makes mixes for her mother in front of her grandmother and gives gifts to her grandparents. It seems that there is some meaning to show off in front of her mother.
In fact, what has made Yu Mingyue sigh over the years is not only Kong Xiaohan, who is different from his previous life, but also Luo Zhengfen, who has become unrecognizable to Yu Mingyue, because of the differences between the previous life and this life, many people and things in this life and the previous life have become different, but it is these differences that make Yu Mingyue have more insights.
Life is not static, different environments, different situations, different encounters, different including different choices, will make a person's life develop in different directions, on the road of life. When faced with every choice. It's like standing at a fork in the road with multiple forks in the road, and each different choice will lead to another unknown but different direction in life.
Destiny? There is no such thing as fate in this world, the difference lies in different choices. There are too many options and too many ifs in this world. Behind the different 'ifs'. There will inevitably be different endings, but only if you choose to move forward, you will know what kind of ending awaits you.
Arguably. If there is really a fate in this world, then this fate is in the hands of the person concerned.
After Yu Mingyue entered the stove room, she saw Pu Xiaoqiang watching the fire in front of the stove, the rice in the pot was still steaming, but about a pound of cabbage had been picked and washed and placed on the stove, and there were some sharp green peppers in the vegetable washing basin, and there were some sharp green peppers in the vegetable basket next to him that had not yet had time to pick the stems, obviously Pu Xiaoqiang was starting to wash the vegetables.
After saying hello to Pu Xiaoqiang, Yu Mingyue directly took the pork leg meat that had been thawed on the dinner table, and prepared to shred it for a while and fry a shredded green pepper pork, then chopped the remaining half directly, ready to make a small cabbage meatball soup, knowing that there was still a piece of tofu that Yu Zhiqing bought the day before in the refrigerator, and he was also going to make a spicy minced meat tofu.
After Yu Mingyue finished the dishes that were going to be put into the pot for a while, and the rice was ready, after washing the pot, after the bottom of the pot was burned red, she put in the lard, waited for the oil to melt, threw a few peppercorns into the pot, poured in the shredded meat, stir-fried a few times, added some bean paste and soy sauce that can be seasoned and colored, and then stir-fried a few times, and poured in the sharp green peppers cut into large shreds.
Stir-fry a few times, the green pepper is almost ripe, add salt and monosodium glutamate to taste, and then stir-fry a few times, a plate of shredded green pepper meat with full color and fragrance will become, most of the shredded meat is added with about half a catty of green pepper, filled with a full bowl of oceanic porcelain.
After washing the pot, I didn't wait for the bottom of the pot to burn red, but as soon as the water at the bottom of the pot was boiled dry, I added a large spoonful of lard fat to the pot, and when the oil began to smoke, I put chopped ginger and garlic directly into the pot, and then poured in the minced meat, stir-fry a few times to let the minced meat spread, and then add some bean paste, mashed dried chili pepper and pepper powder, stir-fry for a while when the minced meat begins to become golden and fragrant, pour directly into the cut tofu pieces, gently stir-fry for two or three minutes after the tofu tastes, add a little soy sauce and monosodium glutamate to taste and adjust the color, Then add the chopped shallots and stir-fry a few times, a spicy and fragrant spicy minced pork roasted tofu is ready, just smelling the taste makes people appetite, Yu Mingyan, who smells the fragrance next to her, can't help but swallow her saliva.
"Hehe, Xiaoyue, you are so capable, I know that this meat and roasted tofu must be delicious just by smelling the taste." Yu Mingyan stared at Yu Mingyue shoveling vegetables on the plate, her eyes were full of admiration for Yu Mingyue, and when she spoke, she couldn't help but swallow a few saliva.
"Hehe, Sister Xiaoyan, you are also amazing, I heard that grandpa said that you can cook, as long as you are willing to learn, usually remember how we stir-fry, it won't be long before you will fry delicious dishes."
When Yu Mingyue was talking, she had already shoveled all the tofu in the pot into a large porcelain bowl, took a pair of chopsticks on the stove, sandwiched a piece of tofu stained with golden minced meat and green onions, blew a few times and handed it to Yu Mingyan's mouth. ”
"Come, Sister Xiaoyan, have you tasted enough salt?" Yu Mingyue is a veteran of cooking, how can the salt taste not be enough, but she can't bear Yu Mingyan's greedy face, and wants her to relieve her hunger in advance.
"Hehe, I'll try it." This is not the first time I have heard Yu Mingyue let her taste the food, and after the 'veteran' Yu Mingyan grinned excitedly, she happily opened her small mouth and ate the tofu cube that was blown off: "Mmmm, it's good that the salt is enough, uh-huh, haw-haw."
Seeing that her cousin was so fragrant that she couldn't even talk smoothly, Yu Mingyue smiled knowingly, and saw Pu Xiaoqiang, who was carving a small wooden toy while burning the fire in front of the stove, looked at it. As soon as she saw it, she hurriedly lowered her head and then fiddled with the small wooden block that had not yet taken shape, Yu Mingyue was slightly stunned for a moment, and then sandwiched a piece of tofu, and greeted: "Brother Xiaoqiang, you can also taste it quickly, and see if you all think the spicy and salty taste is enough." ”
"I don't have to taste it, Xiaoyue, the dishes you cook must be enough."
Pu Xiaoqiang blushed slightly, shook his head and refused, Yu Mingyue chuckled, but she didn't force him. This kid obviously longs for more warmth in his heart. But I still don't like to be close to people, except for liking to muttering something inaudible to the big dragon Xiaolong who can't talk when no one is around, it's good to be able to talk to her for such a long list.
For the other adults in her family, they usually ask and answer one sentence. And there weren't a few words in that sentence. It's usually short sentences like "um", "good", "no", and "got it". For people who are not familiar with the outside, they either nod or shake their heads, or simply do not open their mouths or avoid them. He didn't want to communicate with people at all, otherwise she wouldn't have guessed that the child had a slight autism.
But to Yu Mingyue's surprise, it was this Pu Xiaoqiang, who had mild autism, was a very smart kid, although she knew that Pu Xiaoqiang was a smart person before, but after teaching Pu Xiaoqiang to read and count for a while, she found that Pu Xiaoqiang was not just smart and could be described at all, but very smart.
I don't have much time to teach him every day, basically at noon and after dinner, when adults are watching TV, sometimes I'm too busy to teach during these two time periods every day, but Pu Xiaoqiang is easy to learn, and he learns very quickly. For the first-year students in the school, the philology is still simple new words and pinyin letters, and mathematics is also the addition and subtraction of numbers within hundreds and tens of digits.
But after she found out Pu Xiaoqiang's intelligence, she has increased the amount of Pu Xiaoqiang's learning, and now Pu Xiaoqiang has been able to count to 10,000 not to say, but also mastered the law of increasing numbers, when testing him, although he was uncertain, but he could still say that after 10,000, it should be 10001, and then increase by 10002 and 10003 in turn, and after 19999, it is 20000.
Not to mention the super learning ability in mathematics, the same is true in Chinese characters, as long as the new words taught, when he was Xiaoqiang, he never missed reading and writing, but in terms of pinyin, it was a little less satisfactory, but it was much better than those children in Yu Mingyue's class.
This is not counted, what surprised Yu Mingyue the most was that Pu Xiaoqiang's talent in handicrafts and carving, Yu Zhiqing didn't like to make some carpentry gadgets for his two younger sons when he was free these days, Pu Xiaoqiang liked to watch from the side, and sometimes he picked up Yu Zhiqing's useless small pieces of wood, and took the chisel and other woodworking tools that Yu Zhiqing allowed him to use to fiddle with them, originally Yu Mingyue didn't care too much, but a few days ago, Pu Xiaoqiang used simple tools such as chisels and knives, For the big dragon and the little dragon each carved a small wooden cow that is not much bigger than a palm, the workmanship is not fine, but the body shape and demeanor of the two small wooden cows are different, and they are used to it.
When Pu Xiaoqiang gave the two little wooden cows to Dalong Xiaolong to play with one night, not only Yu Mingyue was taken aback, but even Yu Zhiqing and Kong Xiaoyu, who had always known that Pu Xiaoqiang was tinkering with these two toys, were also surprised.
Judging by Yu Mingyue's experience in teaching and educating people for more than ten years in her previous life, Yu Mingyue can be sure that this Pu Xiaoqiang is definitely smarter than any child in their class, including her.
Although she doesn't have to study to have the goods in her stomach now, she knows that she is not a high-IQ prodigy, she was only a relatively smart and hard-working child in school back then, and her grades from elementary school to high school have always been in the upper middle range, and this is the result of her diligence and studiousness.
But Pu Xiaoqiang is different, today's Pu Xiaoqiang is like a blank piece of paper, it can be said that all knowledge is learned from scratch, but Pu Xiaoqiang's ability to accept these new knowledge can really be described as a prodigy.
After Yu Mingyue was shocked, she also had some calculations in her heart, it is definitely unrealistic for this Pu Xiaoqiang to go to university, graduate school, and doctorate, but with his talent in carving, it is not impossible to be a folk carving artist who does not need a diploma but only needs talent and ability.
After having this idea, Yu Mingyue not only taught Pu Xiaoqiang cultural knowledge on weekdays, but also taught Pu Xiaoqiang painting, although Yu Mingyue didn't know how a carving artist should be trained, but it didn't hurt to learn to paint.
Yu Mingyue did not graduate from the art major, but she can still draw with elementary art knowledge and general sketching, although the level is average, but she can still draw cows like cows, and she can draw horses like horses, and she thinks that it is enough to teach a child.
By the time Yu Mingyue finished the two dishes and one soup, it was almost one o'clock, and he was busy calling Kong Xiaoyu and Kong Xiaohan, who were still talking in the courtyard, to eat, and saw that Yu Mingyue had made three dishes full of color and flavor, although Kong Xiaohan had probably known from Kong Xiaoyu's mouth that Yu Mingyue would cook, but he was still surprised, and praised Yu Mingyue fiercely, not to mention, but also with envy and a hint of jealousy, saying that when he returned home, he would start teaching his daughter Xiaolan, who was nearly a year older than Yu Mingyue, to learn to cook.
In her previous life, Yu Mingyue was in elementary school, and was picked up by Kong Xiaohan to live a few times during the holidays, and each time she usually lived for more than ten days, and she was also familiar with Kong Xiaohan's eldest daughter Xiaolan, although the relationship between the two cousins from childhood to adulthood was not very close, but it was not bad, listening to Kong Xiaohan say that after she got married in her previous life, her cousin Xiaolan, who couldn't make people swallow, learn to cook and cook, Yu Mingyue was a little unkind and secretly happy.
The second aunt's cousin, how much she can't cook, Yu Mingyue knows too well, it's not that Xiaolan doesn't like to learn, but she doesn't have the talent to cook at all, they are also green vegetables fried after heating the pan with oil, even if ordinary people don't look so tender and delicious, they can also be swallowed, and Xiaolan fried it, except for the lifeless or burnt dish, either there is more salt or less salt, which makes people unable to swallow at all.
Even if she cooks rice in a rice cooker, Xiaolan either puts too much water and cooks the dry rice like half-dry porridge, or she adds less water, and cooks the rice stiffly, not to mention, and it is half-cooked, so she can't eat it at all.
To put it bluntly, that girl is a nervous and not easy to learn, in her previous life, because she was greedy for fun, her academic performance was not good, after graduating from junior high school, she was not admitted to secondary school or high school, and she was reluctant to go to school after repeating her studies for half a year, and she worked intermittently in the city for a few years, and she got married in her early 20s, but fortunately, she had a good vision, and although she was also a farmer in the village, she was quite capable, and the husband and wife bought a car to run freight, and their lives were also prosperous.
