Chapter 41: A Little Family in a Fishing Village
When he is bored, Xu Xiaofan likes to sit alone on the threshold and watch passers-by. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are joys and sorrows on their faces, and how many interesting stories will happen on this street every day?
Just as he was watching a child stumbling and being helped up by his mother, Zhang Changde came back from morning training in Guangyuanfang, panting, and there were beads of sweat on his temples that had just appeared.
When Zhang Changde saw Xu Xiaofan, he couldn't care about the fatigue of his body, and the two of them rushed up and said, "Xiaofan, why did it take so long to come back?" I thought you had been robbed by bandits in the middle of nowhere? I was so scared that I didn't sleep well in the past few days. ”
Xu Xiaofan looked at the master with an anxious look, and said with a little amusement: "I really met a thief." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Changde was at a loss, was his house going to disappear? He almost didn't take off the soles of his shoes and pumped his ears, a sullen breath came up his head, and his heels shook a lot.
This psychological quality is too bad, right?
Xu Xiaofan saw that the master was almost angry, so he hurriedly got up and helped: "Don't think too much, you have met." However, there is nothing wrong with the goods, nothing is wrong with the people, there is no danger, there is no danger. ”
can only say that his master is an old man who regards money as his life, so don't joke with him about money.
Zhang Changde adjusted his breathing, stood firm, knocked him a brain melon, as if he had eaten a reassuring pill and said: "Have you brought some Luoyang specialties to the teacher?" "You should have made a lot of oil and water when you went out with Miss Fuji, right?
Zhang Changde's heart is difficult to say, but Xu Xiaofan also knows it.
Xu Xiaofan smiled diligently: "Yes, yes, how can there be?" "If not, wouldn't it be to recite to you a night of disrespecting the teacher, a teacher for one day and a father for life, and then sublimating to the realm of not obeying filial piety...........
"Yes, yes, I didn't hurt you in vain, and I will buy you a fish to make up for it." Looking at Xu Xiaofan with a smile on his face, Zhang Changde's heart gave birth to a trace of warmth, at least this apprentice went out and was still thinking about the master.
Xu Xiaofan shook his head and said, "Fish, I bought it, it's in the kitchen." ”
"........." Zhang Changde didn't think of which dish was cheaper for a while, and said, "Then I'll buy you a fish to supplement the day after tomorrow." ”
“.........”
The two entered the inner courtyard.
Zhang Changde has been counting the benefits of eating fish: First, this fish is easy to digest. Secondly, this fish is good for the heart. Again, this fish is good for the eyes. Putting that aside, the most important thing is that this fish is cheap.......
Although, Xu Xiaofan knew that this master was stingy, he didn't mind. Because, he remembered that in the first few days of his arrival in the Tang Dynasty, everyone regarded him as a madman who went berserk, and the Zhang family never gave up taking care of him, comforting him, and treating him as a family. Everyone knows how to be grateful for the pictorial, and Xu Xiaofan is no exception.
In the evening, Zhang Yuanyuan also returned home from the female red fang.
Zhang Yuanyuan smelled a faint smell of fish wafting from the kitchen, and she knew that Xu Xiaofan was back. The male protagonist and the female protagonist were the traditional ideas at that time, in addition to the chef in the store, the men who could cook at home were really counted in the face.
Zhang Yuanyuan trotted into the kitchen and saw him around the kitchen stove, his handsome face blackened by black smoke. The trace of sadness on her face melted half, her eyes were hot, and the corners of her mouth raised: "Xiaofan, you are finally back." My dad and I thought you were supposed to be home two days ago, but you never came back. You know it's scaring me out these days? ”
In this strange era, there are still people who can worry about themselves, and that is already a great blessing. Money can be earned, fame can be established, but love is hard to come by.
Regardless of whether this love is love or family affection, Xu Xiaofan cherishes it very much.
All sorts of thoughts came to my mind, and I didn't know what to say.
Xu Xiaofan had no choice but to put on a smile that showed eight big white teeth and said, "Well, I'm back." ”
Zhang Yuanyuan was excited, and wanted to go up to give him a hug, but he was forbidden by the male and female defense, stood in place and wiped his tears with a smile and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
After that, Zhang Yuanyuan scrambled to take the spatula and cook the remaining two dishes, and asked Xu Xiaofan to rest.
Xu Xiaofan couldn't resist her, so he had to sit on the stove and add firewood.
"Master! Brother! Time to eat! Xu Xiaofan shouted outside the kitchen door.
As always, when they heard that the meal was good, the two of them ran faster than anyone else, and they longed to run over on all four legs. You don't need to test your DNA to know that it's a variety......
Zhang Yuanyuan set up the dishes and chopsticks and brought the food out of the pot in the same way.
The coarse tea and light rice exude a warm flavor that looks more mouth-watering than the abalone cucumber wings on the outside.
It is the fulfillment of a truth, what people eat is fragrant, and when there are few people, you feel that it is tasteless.
Zhang Changde took a small piece of fish meat and chewed it in his mouth, and said with relief: "This fish is cooked well, it is not old or fishy, the fresh and sweet taste is not lost, and Yuanyuan's cooking skills have improved again." "This daughter looks like she's about to get married.
"No, no, this is what Senior Brother Xiaofan did. Dad, you're praising the wrong person. Zhang Yuanyuan did not take credit, but praised: "Senior Brother Xiaofan, such a man is really rare in the world, who can marry him is blessed." ”
In this way, it is also blamed for being shy. Xu Xiaofan smiled casually and said, "No, no, just cook it, just eat it." ”
In fact, it's not just cooked casually, it's all the accumulation of life. In his previous life, he lived alone, and he did a lot of work from childhood to adulthood, such as the cook in the stall, the porter on the street, and the gardener who watered the flowers, and he did all the work that could make money and support himself. A twenty-year-old guy has calluses on his hands that are thicker than those of his peers, I don't know how much. In this life, I hope to live a better life, not too good, as long as I can have hope, this is his only hope......
However, the men who can cook are full of guys who have not grown up in Zhang Changde's impression, and said belittly: "A man stands up to the sky, what kind of food he cooks, he can't make money, he can't make money, he can't eat anything, and he can't be a royal chef, so he still has to make money and make meritorious contributions to marry a good daughter-in-law." ”
Xu Xiaofan nodded, immersed himself in eating, it was useless to fight with the master, it would be more feasible to conquer him with practical actions in the future.
After the meal, Zhang Changde didn't go out for a walk as usual, but called Xu Xiaofan to the room to talk to him about something.
Zhang Changde sat behind the desk, hummed for a long time, and said: "Xiaofan, you have been here with me for more than three years, and you haven't gone home to see, this time you have also made some money, why don't you go home and have a look." ”
Xu Xiaofan tried hard to recall in his mind, in the memory of this life, he really had relatives who were related by blood. However, the relationship is not good, there is a frail and sickly mother and an older brother and sister at home. Since I was a child, I was the most unpopular, beaten by my older brother and scolded by my older sister. The mother who has been lying on the sickbed for a long time wants to manage it but can't do it, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and she can only cry occasionally in the bed. However, his brother Xu Dafu and sister Xu Cuicui only knew how to ask for it, and privately sold themselves to Zhang Changde as miscellaneous laborers. Xu Xiaofan's mother thought that it would definitely be better for him to go out to do chores than to be bullied in this fishing village, so she agreed.
The feeling of indifference between his hands and feet made the pores on his body tremble.
Such a family, to be honest, is tired to go back.
Think about it from one side to the other, though. Now that I have a little money, I can go back and show off, and slapping them in the face can be regarded as relieving myself and the owner of the original body. By the way, taking a look at his mother for him can be regarded as doing his filial piety for him.
Xu Xiaofan agreed: "Okay, I'll go back to the fishing village tomorrow." ”
This agreed neatly, but gave Zhang Changde, who was ready to persuade each other, a big surprised expression.
