"You're thirsty from all afar, aren't you? It just so happens that I have water that I can just take in when I boil it well. ”

While smiling happily and beckoning everyone to sit down, Zhao Dahe opened the cupboard and took a stack of bowls from it to open it, and then picked up an aluminum long-spout kettle on the stove and poured a bowl of water for everyone.

"Don't say it, I'm so thirsty. On this hot day, no amount of water brought out in the morning is enough to drink. ”

Unceremoniously, he took the lead in picking up the bowl on the table, and drank the still warm boiling water in it with a tilt of his neck. Jiang Ziqiang unceremoniously picked up the kettle again, poured another bowl for himself, and drank it all in one go, then wiped his mouth and smiled.

"It's just that it's a hot day, and now young people who have to go out to work during the day. Where are we old things still willing to go out? That is, you can only go out at night to get cool and breathable, and hide at home at other times and don't go out. ”

Zhao Dahe couldn't help but sigh as he spoke: "But isn't it the same heat if you don't go out and hide at home?" It's so boring that I haven't spoken yet. On this day, I was looking forward to a few more rains to cool down. ”

"Hehe, not really. It's only cool after the rain has passed. ”

Jiang Ziqiang chatted with Zhao Dahe for a few words along with Zhao Dahe's words, and then saw that Wei Hongyu and the others had finished drinking the water before saying, "Brother Zhao, let's not be in a hurry to talk now." Finally, I'm going to stay in the provincial capital for a few more days.

You give me the keys over there, and I'll take them to clean up. After packing up, go out and have a look, and see if you can buy some good food and come back. Don't cook these days, just come and eat a few bites with us.

If I'm lucky enough to sell something good when I go out in a while, then we'll eat more heartily. No, I still brought shiitake mushrooms, fungus and dried meat anyway, and we could eat noodles at night. ”

"Haha, you said that eating noodles was not good? You kid, every time you don't drop my saliva, you just won't give up, right? ”

After another burst of laughter, Zhao Dahe touched a bunch of keys from behind the cabinet and handed them to Jiang Ziqiang, and said, "But to be honest, I'm looking forward to you coming every day, and I'm really hungry for the food you cook."

Even if it's just a simple meal of noodles, it tastes different when it comes out of your kid's hands. It's better than the chef in the state-run restaurant.

If you want me to say, since you kid has this craft, why do you have to run around like this all day in the future? Forget it a few years ago, but isn't the policy good now?

If you bring your whole family to the provincial capital to open a small restaurant, what is wrong with making money if the wind doesn't blow and the rain doesn't get wet? If you're worried about not having enough money, I have it. ”

The main thing is that if this is the case, then if I want to eat Jiang Ziqiang's food in the future, I don't need to look forward to the days when he comes every month.

The more he thought about it, the more Zhao Dahe's saliva flooded, looking at Jiang Ziqiang expectantly, hoping that he would nod.

"Don't, brother, you don't know, I love to cook, that is, I love to cook for my family."

Shaking his head, Jiang Ziqiang rejected Zhao Dahe's proposal in one bite: "If you really want me to open a small restaurant and stay in one place, and tell me to deal with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar all day long, then I have to go crazy." ”

"Alas, forget it, I can't persuade you." Zhao Dahe didn't know how many times he had said this in front of Jiang Ziqiang recently, almost once he saw and said it once, but not once he was willing to listen to it.

Zhao Dahe was very helpless, so he could only give up temporarily.

He smiled and sighed, "Wait a minute, you don't go out to see." It's been afternoon, what else is there to see, and if there are any good things outside, can you still leave them here?

I had fish at home, and I happened to come across them the other day, so I bought five or six in one go. Eat one, and put the rest in a net and keep it in the well over there, waiting for you to come. ”

After a pause, Zhao Dahe chattered again: "It's not dirty over there, I've been thinking about how your kid should have come here these days, so I went over to clean it."

I am afraid that there will not be enough straw mats and blankets for you to sleep at night. It's hot weather, it's easy to cover the quilt, just take a piece of clothing to cover your stomach.

But the straw mat and the bed board have been useless for too long. After a while, you should quickly take out those two things and scrub them first, and it is important to dry them while there is still a little sun, otherwise they are all musty, how can you sleep at night? ”

"Okay, got it, we'll wash the bed board and wipe the straw mat after a while."

Even if Zhao Dahe is old, he is really a little verbose. But knowing that he had good intentions, Jiang Ziqiang did not show the slightest disgust or impatience.

He not only listened patiently to what he said, but also said casually: "Since there are fish, let's eat seriously, get a fish and two green vegetables, and we will live." Would you rather eat sweet and sour fish or braised fish? ”

"Sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour, delicious. I have been thinking about it for a long time when you did it last time, don't be stingy, how can you eat only one? If you want to do it, you have to do at least two. ”

As soon as he talked about eating, Zhao Dahe's eyebrows fluttered, and he suddenly remembered something and shouted: "By the way, I almost forgot it." Hey, wait, I'll get something. ”

As he spoke, he lifted his feet and walked to the small patio next to the kitchen.

Walking past a small patio with a small well and a well, he entered a room with an open door, apparently his bedroom, and came out quickly. Holding a round box of delicate tin boxes with English letters written on them and biscuit patterns in his hand.

Putting the iron box on Jiang Ziqiang's hand, Zhao Dahe glanced at Jiang Ni, Jiang Qiaoqiao and Ling Xu with a smile: "I almost forgot, my niece sent me two boxes of these cookies last week."

I ate it, and it tasted different from our biscuits, which were very sweet and delicious. My niece said what it was called. I left a box with the idea of waiting for you to come and bring it back to the children to taste. ”

"If you're sorry, then you're welcome."

Without refusal, Jiang Ziqiang took the biscuit and handed it to Wei Hongyu. Wei Hongyu hurriedly took the children and thanked Zhao Dahe is pass.

Zhao Dahe waved his hand with a smile: "Thank you for what?" What is this? If it hadn't been for the strong son who saved my life, how could I still have this blessing and eat and drink so freely? ”

"Brother, I have long said that we should not mention the old yellow calendar in the future, why do you always talk about it?" deliberately lowered his face, Jiang Ziqiang scared him, "If you mention it again, I won't come next time." ”

"Don't mention it, don't mention it. Isn't it okay if I don't mention it in the future? If you don't come, you want to kill me? ”

Zhao Dahe didn't take Jiang Ziqiang's scare to heart, and pushed him out when he heard the words, and scolded with a smile while pushing: "Hurry up and clean up, don't be late and delay my meal, I won't follow." ”

"Don't worry, you can't delay." Jiang Ziqiang walked out with the family, and replied with a smile as he walked, "When the meal is ready, I will ask my eldest nephew to come and call you." ”

"Okay, you go and clean up by yourself, I won't go over and make a mess."

Sending people to the door, he watched Jiang Ziqiang's family walk forward for a short while. He stopped in front of the door of the house that was three houses away from his house, took out the key to open the door, and entered the door. He smiled and closed the door of his house.
