Chapter 5 Memories of Sweet Potatoes

When Jiang Meixi came home after work and bought vegetables, she saw such a picture: Xu Zhuxian and Lin Xiuzhu both fell on the sofa, Lin Xiuzhu was pressed by Xiaoxian below, and her two white calves were clamped by Xiaoxian, desperately writhing to get up, but they were suppressed by Xu Zhuxian.

Xu Zhuxian is very unaccustomed to bullying others, her actions are very rusty, and she can't let go of it, for fear of hurting Lin Xiuzhu with too much force, but she is extremely ashamed, her sister is really hateful.

For the first time, she felt that she couldn't live without doing something, and seeing that kind of stimulating image made her want to find a pit to bury herself and never see anyone again.

Kang Mi-hee is definitely the first time to see Seo Joo-hyun like this, when did the quiet and quiet Xiaoxian be the same as a normal girl? Usually, even if he is bullied by Xu Jaiming, he will not resist, and Xiaoxian, who can only sulk, will actually do it?

Jiang Meixi's appearance rescued Lin Xiuzhu, Xu Zhuxian seemed to be frightened to get up suddenly, and then bowed to Jiang Meixi very embarrassed and said, "Hello aunt." ”

didn't dare to look up, being seen by the elders like this, Xu Zhuxian's already hot little face seemed to be about to burn, and the resentment against Sister Xiuzhu in his heart was a little bigger.

"Well, you guys keep playing, I'll cook." Jiang Meixi said with a smile.

Lin Xiuzhu was finally able to get up from the sofa, and glanced at Xu Zhuxian with palpitations, completely miscalculated, the little guy was so powerful, he didn't confess to her if he knew it, and the little guy who had always been very dignified was so embarrassed and angry.

Hearing Jiang Meixi's words, Lin Xiuzhu immediately volunteered and rushed to say, "Mom, I'll make today's lunch." He turned his head and said to Xu Zhuxian a little flatteringly: "Xiaoxian, let you taste my sister's craftsmanship today, it will be regarded as my sister's apology." "It's almost tail wagging off.

Now that she is alone with Xu Zhuxian, there is a lot of psychological and physical pressure on Lin Xiuzhu, and she still wants to please the little guy with the food first.

"It seems that today I am entrusted with the blessing of Xiaoxian to be able to taste your craft?" Jiang Meixi didn't say anything to stop it, but just laughed.

When she used to live in the United States, she was busy with work, and Lin Xiuzhu and Xu Zaiming solved the three meals a day at home.

Unlike Xu Jae-ming's personality of not caring about what he doesn't like, Lin Xiuzhu is the complete opposite, and will study anything he touches with his heart, so he can be called proficient in cooking.

Lin Xiuzhu pursed her lips and smiled very reservedly, it is very happy to be praised by the elders.

Seeing her sister rolling up her sleeves and rubbing her hands, Xu Zhuxian opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't know what to say, does Sister Xiuzhu even know how to cook? It's too exaggerated, what else wouldn't?

For the first time in her life, she felt a little dwarfed by an inferiority complex in the heart of a twelve-year-old girl, feeling as if she didn't know anything in front of Lin Xiuzhu, and she also had doubts about Xu Zaiming's praise of her excellent words.

Jiang Meixi cleaned up the kitchen, then pointed out to Lin Xiuzhu where the various spices and tools were, put the vegetables she bought aside and went out to clean up the room.

"I bought a lot of vegetables, what does Xiaoxian like to eat?" After all, she wants to please the little guy, and Lin Xiuzhu didn't plan to cook her favorite dishes by herself.

"Hmm......" Xu Zhuxian pondered for a moment, and then said in a bright tone, "Sweet potato." ”

"Sweet potatoes?" Lin Xiuzhu asked again with some uncertainty, and after getting the answer, she went to look through the dishes that Jiang Meixi bought, and sure enough, she saw several gray sweet potatoes.

"Do Koreans also like sweet potatoes?" Lin Xiuzhu frowned, there are many people who eat sweet potatoes in the United States, but she doesn't like them very much, so she is not very good at making sweet potatoes.

"No, it's just that I like it." Seo Joo-hyun explained very seriously.

Then she counted her fingers and said, "Sweet potatoes are highly nutritious and have a sweet taste, making them an ideal food." Suddenly remembered something: "By the way, when I first met Jaemyung oppa, oppa was a sweet potato that I was invited to eat." ”

As if recalling the situation at that time, Xu Zhuxian's cheeks bulged with laughter.

"Tell my sister about it, Xiaoxian." Lin Xiuzhu suddenly quieted down and said softly.

I am very curious and a little jealous, in the three years that I have not been by Xu Zaiming's side, it is this little girl who has accompanied him instead of herself, and I want to know what they have experienced together.

She never hid her feelings for Xu Zaiming, from the beginning to the eyes, to the later brothers and sisters, and then to the ignorant admiration, Xu Zaiming was the first person of the opposite sex who had a good impression at the beginning of her love.

Xu Zaiming's attitude towards her is also constantly changing, from intimate to spoiled. and now to the cautious, intimate and measured, spoiled but avoidant.

Xu Zaiming's attitude towards her has clearly told her his answer, but she doesn't care and still goes her own way.

"Well, I remember very well, the first time I met OPPA." Xu Zhuxian didn't think much about it, and was very willing to share with Lin Xiuzhu about himself and Jae Ming's oppa.

Xu Zhuxian pondered for a while, organized his thoughts and words, and then spoke slowly.

"Sister doesn't know, I haven't had any friends, usually on vacation, I read books and practice the piano at home alone, my mother and father have their jobs, and there are often times when I can't take care of me." Xu Zhuxian opened his mouth but said something irrelevant and his mood became depressed.

Lin Xiuzhu was a little distressed when she heard the little guy's words, although she had only known each other for a long time, Xu Zhuxian was really very likable, and at the same time, because of her relationship with Xu Zaiming's family, Lin Xiuzhu faintly felt that Xiaoxian was her own family.

Lin Xiuzhu just wanted to comfort Xu Zhuxian, but she said again: "Sometimes when I am tired of studying, I will run to the downstairs community by myself to hang out, and if I am hungry or hungry, I will go to buy a sweet potato." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zhuxian's expression became clear again: "There is a small shop specializing in sweet potatoes not far from our community, and I liked the taste of sweet potatoes when I ate them for the first time when I was a child." ”

I really like it, I can be happy just thinking about it, Lin Xiuzhu thought when she saw her.

Seo Joo-hyun continued, and talked about the process of her meeting with Seo Jae-myung.

At that time, Xu Zaiming had just moved into the community, because of a series of troubles such as inheritance and burial brought about by his father's death, as well as the mental blow caused by the destruction of his throat, he lived a very decadent life for a long time, and he was bored at home all day long, like a walking corpse.

And at that time, Xu Jaeming's family had just moved to South Korea, and there were many things to deal with, Jiang Meixi was so busy that she couldn't even take care of her son, and the visits between neighbors were delayed again and again.

So even though Seo Jae-myung lives across the street from Seo Joo-hyun's house, there is no contact between the two families except for Jiang Meixi and Seo's mother and Xu's father who often meet each other and say hello to each other.

About a month after moving here, Seo Jae-myung finally relieved himself a little and was willing to go out for a walk, and Seo Joo-hyun met him at that time.

At the end of a day's study and practice, the adults in the family had not come back, Xu Zhuxian pinched his pocket money, went downstairs to buy a sweet potato outside the community and held it, and turned around and saw a strange big brother.

Most of his face was covered by his messy hair, and he was tall and skinny.

It was obviously about to be cold during the New Year, but he only wore a thin sweater, sat on the edge of the flower bed in the community with his head down, and his decadent appearance matched with the surrounding snow, which had a poignant beauty and was shocking.

Are the faces you haven't seen here beggars or vagabonds? It's pathetic. The young Seo Joo-hyun had this idea in his heart.

Xu Zhuxian struggled to look at the hot sweet potato in her hand, and the kindness in her heart made Xiao Zhuxian unbearable to watch the big brother in front of her suffer from cold and hunger, but the child's nature to protect food made her hesitate.

In the end, he approached, and under the lingering of her reluctant gaze, he handed the sweet potato to Xu Zaiming's eyes.

Xu Zaiming was immersed in his pessimistic world, when a small fleshy hand and a steaming sweet potato suddenly appeared in his field of vision, stunned for a moment, and slowly raised his head.

The sweet potato was about to enter someone else's stomach, and Xiao Zhuxian, who had been staring at the sweet potato in his hand, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his little face couldn't help but look a little sad.

Finding that Xu Zaiming looked up at him, he immediately restrained his greed, pretending not to care, and said, "Are you hungry?" For you to eat. ”

Xu Zaiming opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and ugly: "Get out." ”

Somewhat unable to believe what he heard, Xu Zhuxian opened his mouth slightly and looked at the big brother in front of him dumbfounded.

After a long time, seeing that the little girl who interrupted his thoughts was still standing in front of him, Xu Zaiming couldn't help but be irritable, and reached out to pull away her hand holding the sweet potato: "Tell you to get out, didn't you hear?" ”

Xu Jaiming was tired of hearing his voice now, and he was also tired of the little girl in front of him who made her have to speak.

Xiao Zhuxian didn't hold it steady, and the sweet potato was thrown to the ground, revealing its red and white internal organs, and died tragically on the snowy street, which was supposed to go into Xu Zhuxian's warm little belly.

The young Xu Zhuxian had never been treated like this, and tears flowed down her eyes as soon as her mouth was deflated, and while choking, she turned around to pick up the sweet potatoes that were split into several petals.

"Don't eat... Only... No... Eat, I... I just think... You... Probably hungry, why... So right... I. Xu Zhuxian's body twitched, and his words couldn't be said clearly.

At first, I just sobbed quietly, but then I picked up the sweet potatoes, and the more I picked them, the more I felt wronged, so I simply didn't pick them up, just sat on the ground and cried, crying "why did this to me" repeatedly.

At that time, Xu Zaiming was just a teenager, and he couldn't look at a crying girl coldly.

Such a lovely little girl, pitifully sitting on the snow and crying, such a scene can touch people's nerves.

Looking at the crying Xu Zhuxian, Xu Jae-ming's cloudy eyes finally became a little clearer, and he was not a bad-hearted person in the end, and began to reflect on himself.

Why did this to her? If you have suffered misfortune yourself, can you force it on others as well?

Xu Zaiming glanced at the girl sitting on the ground crying, and thought of his busy daily routine and worrying about his mother.

And it is to build the misfortune on these people who care about themselves. Xu Jaiming clenched his fists, his nails were embedded in the flesh, and the stinging pain entered his brain, and he finally came to his senses completely.

Seo Jae-myung walked towards Xiao Zhuxian, but the little girl kicked her legs in fright and rubbed back.

Xu Zaiming squatted down silently, picked up the remaining sweet potatoes, and put those pieces into the palm of his hand.

Xiao Zhuxian secretly watched his behavior, and slowly stopped crying.

Seo Jae-myung held the broken sweet potato in one hand, and with the other, despite Seo Joo-hyun's struggle, he grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

"Hungry? I don't want this, I'll go buy two more and we'll eat together. Xu Jaeming held Xu Zhuxian like this.

It was still that hoarse voice, but it had a warm taste, and Xu Zhuxian didn't shout, and he didn't struggle anymore.

"I'm sorry." At that time, Xu Zhuxian seemed to hear it, this was the only time she heard these three words from Xu Zaiming's mouth, and later after the two became very close, Xu Zhuxian went to him for verification, but he was always impatiently grabbed and patted, and he couldn't get an answer.
