Chapter 60—Is My Cooking That Bad?
Ren Youjun dug a shallow pit in the grass behind the yard and scooped up the dead fish with a fishing net.
Yu Xiaoxiang picked up the petals on the road and gently placed them in this pit together, she suddenly squatted down and asked curiously: "Why do I think these little fish look the same!" How do you tell the difference between florets and leaves? ”
Ren Youjun also squatted down, pointed to a belly-turned fish and said, "Look, the pattern on its body doesn't look like a small flower, and the other looks like a leaf." ”
"It seems to be a little bit like that! But I still feel like I still look the same, maybe I don't have this kind of cell! Yu Xiaoxiang scattered the remaining petals in his hand on the top layer.
Ren Youjun covered the pit with new soil, and whispered to Yu Xiaoxiang: "Little concubine, remember not to tell my grandmother that the fish are dead, I will go to the farmers' market after school in the afternoon, and I have to pick a few similar fish to come back, otherwise the grandmother who believes in Buddhism will be sad, and she will feel that this is a sin."
Seeing that the small flowers and grass had been buried, Yu Xiaoxiang and Ren Youjun walked home with the empty fish tank.
"Grandma, she believes in Buddhism!"
Ren Youjun wiped the sweat with his arm, looked at Yu Xiaoxiang with a curious face, and smiled: "Yes!" She had not eaten meat for the past few years, and even the pots and bowls for cooking were separated.
Until recent years, her old man's body gradually could not keep up, her father and mother strongly urged her to eat some meat, after our kind persuasion, she is now a believer in Buddhism, began to eat meat, but like this kind of killing, she still feels guilty in her heart. ”
Yu Xiaoxiang nodded, looked at Ren Youjun who was walking on the side, and walked into the unit door together, and Yu Xiaohui's voice came from the aisle: "Sister!" Ren Youjun, Dad called you to eat! ”
"Got it, we'll be up right away!" Yu Xiaoxiang shouted into the corridor.
On the coffee table, Miao Huiyun brought up a large bowl of mung bean soup, and while pouring it into the mold, she "complained" to Yu Jianjun: "The child is her father!" Xiaohui has been eating ice cream too much lately! What additives are there to sell outside, so you can't eat it like this! According to what I mean, you will freeze your own ice cream in the future, and you will not be allowed to buy her pocket money for ice cream in the future! ”
As soon as Yu Xiaohui saw Yu Xiaoxiang and Ren Youjun coming, she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "You are finally here, just waiting for you to eat together!" As he spoke, he walked towards Miao Huiyun.
And Yu Xiaoxiang didn't know the situation at all, squatting next to the coffee table and asking, "Auntie, what are you doing?" ”
Miao Huiyun held the mold to Yu Xiaoxiang and showed off: "You said this!" This is the love ice cream made by my aunt for you, don't eat the outside with coloring all day long, your own ingredients are the most natural! He turned and walked towards the refrigerator in the restaurant.
Yu Xiaohui shook her head and said with a hopeless expression: "I originally wanted to make a mistake and let my mother forget about it, what she made to eat, alas, it's hard to say!" "Follow to the restaurant.
Yu Jianjun took a stack of chopsticks and handed it to Yu Xiaohui: "Then, you children can serve your own meal!" I don't know if there's enough for you. ”
When Miao Huiyun, who finished putting the ice cream, heard this, her face was immediately unhappy, and she took a stack of bowls in Yu Xiaohui's hand: "I don't know if it's enough, you're just lazy!" You're obviously used to being taken care of by the secretary! I'll serve the meal, and you can sit down!" With that, he walked over to the rice cooker.
Yu Xiaohui sat down at the dining table in surprise: "Alas! Eat as much as you can! If you can't finish eating, don't be embarrassed, because "
As soon as Yu Xiaohui was halfway through her words, she saw Miao Huiyun coming out of the kitchen, a warm-hearted aunt, holding three bowls of rice in her hands.
This look was terrifying, this bowl was as big as Yu Xiaoxiang's face, and the rice was still stuffed with a round bulge, so Yu Xiaoxiang, Ren Youjun, Guo Wen and grandma understood Yu Xiaohui's deep meaning.
It was the grandmother who questioned first: "Xiaojun is his daughter-in-law!" Old woman, where can I eat so much, you can bring me less! ”
Miao Huiyun was still happy, and she didn't understand what her grandmother meant: "Grandma! You can eat it with confidence! We've got enough! ”
Yu Jianjun also sat down, looked at the same big bowl of rice in front of him, and cleared his throat: "Mother-in-law, if you can't eat it, just dial it back!" You too, eat as much as you can, let's go! "Lift the plate off the table.
All the dishes on the table are very light, and it can be said that there is almost no trace of chili peppers, just like Yu Xiaohui said, spicy food is never allowed to be eaten at home.
Yu Xiaoxiang and Ren Youjun looked at each other, walked to the kitchen, and returned most of the rice.
Yu Xiaohui didn't make a sound, holding a bowl bigger than her face, and began to eat.
Guo Wen on the side didn't seem to adapt to this atmosphere, and ate shyly with his head down.
Grandma first tasted a bite of fish-flavored shredded pork, closed her eyes and chewed carefully: "Little army daughter-in-law! Didn't you put pickled peppers in this fish-flavored shredded pork? I feel like I don't taste right! What time do you usually have, I can teach you how to cook, old woman! ”
As soon as she heard this, Yu Xiaohui patted the table excitedly and said, "Great! My mom is free! Have free time! ”
Miao Huiyun pouted and asked Yu Jianjun with an aggrieved face: "Is the food I cooked unpalatable?" ”
Yu Jianjun's expression was very gentle, very different from his usual serious expression, he patted Miao Huiyun's shoulder, comforted and said, "No, no!" What Xiaohui means is that you can learn more cuisine, and when our mother comes, you can also cook it for her. ”
When Miao Huiyun heard that she could make new dishes for her mother, she nodded and seemed to be moved: "Grandma! No problem! ”
Yu Xiaohui took advantage of her mother and grandmother to communicate, gave Yu Jianjun a thumbs up, and then continued to bury her head in the bowl of rice.
Yu Jianjun picked up the bowl and looked at the group of children while eating, when he suddenly grabbed a dish with chopsticks and put it into Guo Wen's bowl: "Come, order more!" ”
Guo Wen and Yu Jianjun were not so familiar with each other, and when they saw the principal serving vegetables to him, they looked panicked, and nodded frequently and said, "Thank you!" Thank you, Principal. ”
The TV in the living room was playing local news, which happened to be about Yu Xiaoxiang and his party assisting the police to catch the traffickers.
Miao Huiyun patted the table and echoed: "It's not! This group of people doesn't know what to think! If you don't do serious business, you have to abduct and sell children! Thanks to our Xiaoxiang, otherwise that amusement park would have become a "hell"-like place! ”
When Yu Xiaohui heard this, she bit her chopsticks and asked, "That's right!" Sister, when you came back yesterday, you were already asleep, and you didn't have a chance to tell me what's going on behind the playground? Why did you get taken to CC County? ”
Yu Xiaoxiang was holding a green vegetable, and when she heard Yu Xiaohui's words, she asked: "Didn't you call the police when the traffickers were arrested?" You don't even see the marks I made, do you? ”
Ren Youjun, who was buried in his head, looked at Yu Xiaoxiang with a blank face, and wiped the oil on the corner of his mouth: "I couldn't find you at that time, I saw the abandoned building, and there were two red × painted on a corner, I touched it with my hand and realized that it was very likely that you made a mark for me."
So I called the police first, but I didn't tell him at the time, the traffickers were members of the security team, and when I met them, they were corona, and their phones were confiscated. Is that you? Guo Wen? ”
As soon as Guo Wenyi heard Ren Youjun talk about himself, he raised his head from the bowl: "It's not me, I haven't called the police, I've always followed Xiaohui, there are too many people, I'm afraid I'll get separated." ”
Yu Jianjun put down the bowl in his hand: "What's there to worry about!" Give the telecom company a call to confirm, don't you know? If you really can't ask the police station, how many calls did you get at that time? So you know who it is! ”
Yu Xiaohui bit her lower lip and leaned in front of Yu Jianjun, staring at her father tightly: "Dad! Tell you the truth, have you ever been a soldier before? Or the same kind of work? I've always found you to be very experienced in this area! ”
Yu Jianjun casually took a toothpick in the drawer, walked to the living room with the toothpick in his mouth, and teased Yu Xiaohui as he walked: "Just your little brain!" Every day you have to go on adventures and catch bad guys! I think you should read more news and newspapers! With more experience, I know how to deal with trouble. ”
Miao Huiyun, who was on the side, threw the finished dishes and chopsticks into the sink, and took out the mold from the refrigerator: "Finally wait until this ice cream freezes to take shape!" Before class, remember to bring one with you! ”
Seeing that the discussion alone was definitely fruitless, the group took Miao Huiyun's heavy ice cream and said goodbye to the adults and walked towards the teaching building.
"That's right! Yoojun, is your grandma okay at home alone? Yu Xiaoxiang remembered what had just happened and reminded Ren Youjun.
"Oh! It's okay! I've locked the gas tank in the storage room, and the thermos pot is full of hot water, so there won't be any problems for the time being. Ren Youjun touched Yu Xiaoxiang's head.
"That's right! I'm going to the farmer's market after school today, do you two have anything I need to bring back? Ren Youjun then touched the back of his head and asked Yu Xiaoxiang and Yu Xiaohui.
"Great! Can you bring me some nice flowers? I've always wanted to put something different in my bedroom. Yu Xiaohui was so happy that she asked Ren Youjun.
Ren Youjun put his arm on Yu Xiaoxiang's shoulder: "Of course there is no problem, what about you, Concubine Xiaoxiang?" ”
Yu Xiaoxiang thought for a while and said slowly: "If you can, can you help me go to the police station?" Asked Officer Xiao Liu for the record of the phone call at that time, I want to know who that person is? ”
