Meng Qing drove Jiang Zhilian's dual-purpose motorcycle on the road.

The sisters sat opposite each other and chatted in the car bed.

The motorcycle suddenly chuckled—

It's, it's out of gas again!

Meng Qing was full of black lines, and reluctantly started the human-powered riding mode.

He reluctantly / started / and said to Jiang Zhilian in front: "Shall I buy you an electric tricycle?" Your dual-purpose motorcycle runs out of oil at every turn, and it's too inconvenient to use. ”

Jiang Zhilian didn't think about it, so she immediately refused, "You're still a student, what kind of electric tricycle to buy!" ”

"......" Meng Qing choked, "I still have some money." ”

"Keep your money for tuition and books!" Jiang Zhilian said in a tough tone: "You don't charge money for treating animals, and you also paste so many precious medicines, how much money can you have!" Even if you have money to spare, you should go and honor your uncle and aunt first! Do you hear that? ”

Meng Qing closed his mouth and was silent.

Jiang Zhilian looked at his back, raised her voice, and asked again, "Did you hear it?" ”

Meng Qing snorted: "No ......"

Jiang Youting looked at the second sister and pursed her lips to steal fun.

Jiang Zhilian held her forehead and sighed leisurely.

Why is this guy so disobedient!

After a while, Meng Qing's voice came from the front again, "Compared with electric tricycles, is it more practical to have a small truck?" It should be able to hold more things, right? ”

Jiang Zhilian was just about to raise an objection, but she saw Youting quietly wave her hand at her.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhilian asked in a low voice.

Jiang Youting motioned for the second sister to lean over.

The sisters whispered with their heads against their heads.

Jiang Youting: "Brother Qing wants to buy it, you just let him buy it!" He wants to behave, you have to give him this chance! Boys want to save face. He spends the money on you, and you can buy him books and gifts for your uncle and aunt! ”

Jiang Zhilian looked at her sister in surprise, "Youting, why do you suddenly know so much?" You confessed to your sister, are you talking to someone? ”

Jiang Youting looked away and denied: "I'm busy studying, how can I have time to talk about someone!" ”

Jiang Zhilian looked thoughtful.

Jiang Youting further explained: "The Chinese teacher recommended a lot of literary works for us to read, and when I finished my homework and rested, I would read some Balzac, Tolstoy, Anna Karenina and the like. After reading more, you will naturally know some things about the world and between men and women! ”

Jiang Zhilian said in disbelief: "Is this the case?" ”

Jiang Youting flattened her mouth, pretended to be angry, and snorted lightly, "Don't believe it!" ”

"Okay, okay." Jiang Zhilian snorted, "Sister believes you!" I can't believe you! ”

Jiang Youting straightened up and sat down, raising her head slightly against the wind.

"My sister has really grown up, and she is a big girl! It's not that he didn't have any ideas before, and he was so scared that he couldn't stop crying at every turn. Jiang Zhilian said and sat up as well.

It's been a long time since she's been looking at her sister so closely.

The baby fat on Youting's face has disappeared a lot, the jawline is much clearer than before, and the side face is angular and extremely moving.

Jiang Zhilian looked at it, and was a little stunned.

Meng Qing heard the two girls behind him muttering for a while, but because they were separated by a distance, they deliberately lowered their voices, and the wind was relatively strong, so he couldn't hear the specific content.

However, looking at their sneaky appearance, they must have said something about him, deliberately not letting him hear it.

It's just that there will always be some little secrets between sisters.

The road from the sanatorium to Qixing Village is not very easy to walk, many sections are gravel dirt roads, potholes, and bumps.

It took them a full hour to get home.

When I stepped off the motorcycle, the bones of my whole body were going to fall apart.

Jiang Zhilian didn't care about resting, and went directly to the open kitchen in the living room to process the ingredients.

Everyone wanted to come over to help, but they were driven away by Jiang Zhilian one after another.

"Youting, you hurry up and study! In the past few days, it's a sports meeting again, and it's Grandpa Tang's business, so my mind is scattered, right? Isn't there still a competition at the end of the year, so prepare early! You don't have to worry about these household chores! ”

"Auntie, you are now the key protection object of our family. The kitchen is heavy and the floor is slippery, so it's safer for you to stay away. Come on, let's go inside and rest! ”

"Brother-in-law, your first duty is to take care of your aunt. You don't have to worry about this side of things! ”

"Okay, you should study and study, you should rest, and if you should watch TV, watch TV!"

Jiang Zhilian finally left Meng Qing alone to help her.

Meng Qing can also be regarded as an experienced assistant, and he has done the work of selecting and cutting vegetables very skillfully.

He and Jiang Zhilian cooperate very tacitly, so the efficiency of preparing food is extremely high.

Meng Qing suddenly found that the ingredients were all vegetarian, and he didn't see a little meat, so he asked curiously, "You didn't prepare some meat dishes?" ”

Jiang Zhilian put the cut sweet potato pieces into the water to rinse, and then fished the washed sweet potato pieces into the draining basket and said, "Uncle and aunt unanimously proposed that I make a vegan feast!" ”

"Vegan feast? Why? As long as there are a few plates of vegetarian dishes, we don't have to take care of our habits. Meng Qing handed the peeled and shaved pumpkin to Jiang Zhilian, "I lived with them before, and when we ate together, they were also vegetarian and meaty!" For birthdays, it's not appropriate to get some meat for your uncle, right? ”

"It's not all about taking care of your family's eating habits."

Jiang Zhilian used a knife to cut out a few slices of radish flowers for decoration, put them on the empty plate next to her, and said: "Uncle and aunt also consider that I opened a vegetarian restaurant, and may think that the ingredients for making vegetarian dishes are better prepared, they are all ready-made in the restaurant, so there is no need to make too much trouble." ”

Meng Qing: "Well......"

"And yes!" Jiang Zhilian turned her head to look at Meng Qing and said with a smile: "Last time, the Mu family had a meal at the vegetarian restaurant before leaving, and my brother-in-law had been waiting across the street at that time, and he pitifully nibbled on two steamed buns. He said that on this birthday, he wanted to eat a vegan feast to make up for the regret of the last time and soothe his wounded heart. ”

Meng Qing chuckled, "Uncle is sometimes like a child. ”

Jiang Zhilian echoed: "Men are children who don't grow up all their lives, and only women will continue to grow. Someone once said that a man has always been a childish ghost from birth to old age and death! ”

"Not so, right? People who say this kind of thing are too absolute in their judgments......" Meng Qing didn't quite agree with this point of view.

Jiang Zhilian curled the corners of her mouth and asked with a smile, "Do you think you are not a childish ghost?" ”

Meng Qing looked serious, "Of course not!" ”

"Okay, if you say no, it's not!" After the words fell, Jiang Zhilian picked up a cabbage and whispered: "I also said that I am not a naïve ghost, not only naïve, but also arrogant!" ”

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Jiang Zhilian made four dishes and one soup, which were left for her aunt, sister-in-law, and Youting for lunch.

Then she and Meng Qing took the preliminarily processed ingredients to pick up Meng Guohui and Qiao Ruiling next door, and then went to the birthday star's house together.

"Uncle, aunt, we're here......" Jiang Zhilian saw that there was no one in the living room on the first floor, so she yelled upstairs.

After a while, there was the sound of clattering footsteps.

Qiao Dong poked his head out of the staircase and greeted with a smile: "It's here!" There is fruit on the coffee table, I have washed it, you eat it first, Jiaojiao will come down immediately! ”

Jiang Zhilian looked up and saw that her eyes were flashing.

The birthday boy always wears a golden silk shirt and gold shining leather shoes. The big back is oily and slippery back, revealing a full large forehead.

Looking like a Buddha light on the head......

What a familiar feeling, what a gracious dress.

This is a pure, fake, and energetic uncle!

"Uncle, you are so handsome today!" Jiang Zhilian praised sincerely.

Qiao Dong raised his eyebrows proudly, and said stinkily: "My nephew and daughter-in-law are really discerning!" I also think I'm so handsome that I shine! ”

Jiang Zhilian: "Hahahahaha......"

To be truly handsome, it is not what clothes and shoes you wear, what you comb your hair, or what jewelry you wear.

Instead, I have regained my passion, fighting spirit and hope!
