The meal was quickly ready, and my aunt put a small bowl of donkey meat in front of me and said politely: "Xiaochi, there is no dish, this bowl is for you, eat!" ”

I looked at the donkey meat and looked at it quietly: Hahaha, the prospective son-in-law is different, and even has the privilege of eating.

Tian Jingjing saw my smug expression, pursed her mouth, carefully pulled her mother's clothes, and said, "Mom, you are too much, you gave half of the donkey meat to tofu." Figured it out, I'm your daughter. And tofu was so eccentric when you first met, and you will have it later? ”

Quietly and unconsciously called me "tofu" again, it is really easy to change the nature of the country and difficult to change. But, haha, my beauty is already thinking about the future. Did I hear me right? Could it be that the speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention?

The aunt looked at her daughter and persuaded: "Jing'er, Xiaochi is here for the first time, he is a relative and a guest, we should treat him well, don't you say?" Shrewd. ”

Tian Jingjing sandwiched a piece of donkey meat and put it in her mother's bowl, then squeezed the corner of her eyes at me, and said with a smile: "Mom, I'll tease you." Your daughter isn't that stingy. Tofu is not rare, he can eat a lot of donkey meat, just like chicken, duck and fish, it is very common. People have been in Keihoku for four years, right, tofu. ”

I don't have to say yes, you're so sure. Fortunately, I was playful, and when I was in college, I traveled all over Jingbei and the surrounding provinces and cities, and I knew a little about the places of interest and food characteristics of Beihe. It's just that there are not many silver taels, and there are very few opportunities to eat donkey meat.

My aunt suddenly became excited and asked me, "Really?" Koike? Have you ever been to the fixed insurance of Bac Ha? ”

I don't know why my aunt is so interested in Baoding, so I replied: "I've been there, and I also walked into the Governor's Office and visited the Dingbao Military Academy." ”

The aunt asked, "You must have eaten roasted donkey meat and tofu brain?" ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, it was breakfast, it tasted very good." ”

Why is Auntie so interested in Baoding? Could it be that she has a relationship with Dingbao?

The aunt was full of interest: "Beihe's roasted donkey meat and tofu brain are very famous, especially the best in Dingbao." ”

Tian Jingjing smiled and asked her mother: "Mom, you are in love with the house!" ”

I feel like there's going to be a story. Sure enough, my aunt said that Jingjing's father had caught me with donkey meat. He was an instructor at the Lin Gui Army Academy, and one year he went to my Workers' and Peasants' University to train us. I saw that he was young and had a baby face, no matter how old we were, but he had a stern face and was very serious. I thought it was fun, so I often couldn't help laughing, and as a result, he was punished for standing and running laps.

Later, I hated him and fought against him at every turn. He noticed my resistance and might have tried to appease me. Once, during dinner, he actually secretly put a piece of meat in my bowl. I glanced at him, didn't appreciate it, and tried to clip it back to him, but he ran away.

This piece of meat, like both pork and beef, was cured, and I observed it for a long time, but I couldn't tell what kind of meat it was, but in the end I still ate it, and it was very fragrant. Later, he told me that this was donkey meat, a specialty of his hometown, and that he had brought it when he was visiting his relatives. When I was studying, I learned that there are donkeys in the world from books, and later there was an article "The Donkey of Qian", which I learned that the donkey is a behemoth, and I understood the allusion of the donkey's skills, and then I saw the donkey on TV.

But I've never touched a donkey, let alone eaten it. Since then, I've had a piece of donkey meat in my bowl every day, one piece a day, no more, no less. Slowly, I can't live without it, and I can't eat without it. Naturally, gradually, I can't do without your father.

As she spoke, her face flushed.

High! It's really high! What a clever love veteran! If he is still here, I will definitely smash the pot and sell iron, make up enough money for travel and tuition, and travel through thousands of mountains and rivers, and worship him as a teacher!

"It's so romantic!" Tian Jingjing looked at her mother with envy and couldn't help but scream. I noticed that I was looking at her out of the corner of my eye and pouted at me. I wonder if the beauty protests against me looking at her in this way, or accuses me of being stupid and not being able to pursue her romantically and passionately like his father? If you can't figure it out, you just pretend to be confused, and besides, in her house, I can't flirt with her in front of my elders, right?

The stones of the mountains can be used to attack jade. I once read a book of pickled girls, which reads: The best trick to chase a girl is to be diligent in front of the girl's family, and her mouth is sweeter than honey. I turned to my aunt and said, "Auntie, you are so happy!" ”

Auntie was still intoxicated with sweet memories, and she didn't notice the quiet actions of me and Tian Jingjing, and when she heard me say this, she sighed: "Hey, happy times are always so short, if there is no accident, if he doesn't put his life and death to save a recruit, how good it would be!" ”

Tian Jingjing took her mother's words and said: Once, my father led their group to rescue and rescue the disaster, and suddenly a boulder rolled down the mountain. Most of the soldiers left behind, but one recruit stood stunned. Dad rushed up and knocked the recruit down. The recruit was saved, but Dad never got up again.

Speaking of this, the mother and daughter couldn't cry anymore. I was speechless, Tian Jingjing's father was very heroic and great. Although his heroic deeds have never been reported on television and newspapers, he is many times greater than those who make the front page of the newspaper and appear on the screen at a conference the size of a sesame mung bean! They own the BMW and the villa, and all he has is a small tombstone that was hastily buried after the sacrifice.

"I'm sorry that my presence today has caused you painful memories. However, Uncle must be glad to see that you are doing well. I comforted.

"Come on, Koike." My aunt wiped her tears and sandwiched a chicken leg between me and Tian Jingjing. I was not polite, but poured my small bowl of donkey meat back into the plate and said, "Blessed are you all." "Auntie still wants to stop it, but it's too late.

To be honest, Auntie's cooking skills are really hard to compliment, and it is even more difficult to swallow than the big pot of rice in the canteen. Except for the donkey meat, which made me want to stop, other chicken, fish, etc., after eating a bite, I was afraid. Either it was too tough and too old, or it was so light that even the mustard greens were boiled yellow.

The chicken was raised by the aunt herself, a real local chicken, and such good materials were ruined for her, but it's a pity. It's no wonder that in the past years, when Tian Jingjing's father was there, eggs, pork, etc. were all supplied by ticket, and it was already good to have meat to eat, where to pay attention to what cooking? Later, the fish and meat in the market were abundant, but their pockets were deflated, and they didn't know the taste of meat in March, and it was a blessing to be able to fill their stomachs. Now, my aunt is very economical, and she usually eats coarse tea and light rice, how can she have any cooking skills?
