Chapter 19 Turning an Aunt Home
"Ahhh It's crazy. ”
Ji Xian scratched his ears and wailed in front of the shelves, and an old man who passed by stumbled under his feet frightened by Ji Xian's voice, and his old eyes looked at her suspiciously.
"I'm sorry, old man, I'm sorry to scare you." Ji Xian hurriedly apologized.
The old man shook his head.
"You little girl is shocked." Turn and leave.
Standing in front of the shelves in distress, looking at the pictures on the mobile phone, while comparing the dishes on the shelves. It's all corn, how can there be so many kinds of differences, people who look at it are dizzy.
"Lao Li, do you buy vegetables?"
"That's right! My wife has a bad appetite, so I'll buy some tender corn porridge to drink. ”
The two old grandfathers who knew each other greeted her, and when they heard the word 'porridge', Ji Xian was immediately attracted by the two, but he was too embarrassed to come forward to talk, so he could only pretend to choose and observe which one the old man would buy.
The old man who greeted him was quickly called away by his family, and the old man who was going to buy corn also chose what he wanted and left.
Ji Xian came out from behind the shelf, hunched over, staring carefully and wanting to stick his eyes to the corn. Like the old man picking corn, he touched the corn and looked at it again.
"That's you!" Pack up the selected corn and continue looking for the next one.
After observing the words and watching from all walks of life, and listening to the side, it was finally difficult to buy all the dishes to be used.
In line with the principle of Ning Duo, the shopping cart was full of her, and there were a few more bags that could not be fitted.
Fortunately, she bought a lot and reached the supermarket delivery amount, so she didn't have to move back to the apartment by herself, handed over her things to the supermarket staff, and walked back to the apartment first.
I got up too early, and Ji Xian was still a little sleepy, nesting on the sofa in the hall and yawning. After a while, the supermarket's delivery truck arrived, and the staff helped her go back and forth several times inside and out, and finally put her things in the hall.
Ji Xian just wanted to ask if he could help her move upstairs, but the staff quickly slipped away as if they had eyes behind their backs.
"Well, forget it. They have already helped me get here, which can be regarded as a great help. ”
I had no choice but to accept the facts, rolled up my sleeves and started to carry them one by one.
After running up and down twice, Ji Xian's thin body was a little unbearable, and he sat down on the sofa panting slightly, adjusting his breathing and calming his frantic heartbeat.
An aunt dressed simply and cleanly sat next to Ji Xian, muttering something.
"The next one has an hour, alas! Just in time to catch up on sleep. ”
This aunt's beautiful face and old fingers always make Ji Xian feel a sense of déjà vu.
After resting for a while, she picked herself up and continued her carrying.
Ji Xian used to be pampered, and he was weak since he was a child. After these few trips, the shopping bag on his back was red, and his forehead was full of sweat.
A bag of vegetables in one hand, a few glances at the rest of the pile. Will she buy too much?
An old hand stretched out from the side and picked up the rest of her things for her, Ji Xian looked over, it was the aunt who had just rested on the sofa.
The more this aunt looks at it, the more familiar she feels, forget it, I don't want to think about it! It should be just a helpful aunt. I have to hurry back and make breakfast, so that I can mention Aunt Xie to Ji Ling.
Aunt Xie! Isn't this Aunt Xie in the photo?
Unexpectedly, she actually saw her in advance, it seemed that she was in need of money, and she looked tired, obviously just finished work.
"Little girl, why are you in a daze? Let's go, I'll help you move home. Rest assured, I'm not a bad person, I often come here to work, and the lady at the front desk knows it. ”
Ji Xian felt a little ninety-nine in her heart, and she suddenly thought, why not take this opportunity to test the character of this Aunt Xie.
She works so hard, but she is willing to help her free of charge during her break, which shows that her heart is simple. If she could pass her trial, she thought, maybe she could help the Fa to keep her.
First, it saves Aunt Xie the fatigue of working a few jobs, and second, she doesn't like to change people often.
Xie Lili didn't know that the girl in front of her was the girl who had made an appointment with her, and she didn't know that she was already starting to test her.
She is tired every day, and this morning she also rushed to the house she had agreed with last night to cook, and when she was done, the next family was in this apartment. Before the time came, I thought I would take a break here.
The little girl next to her kept moving things very softly, trying not to make noise until she rested. She really couldn't bear to see this little girl move these alone, so she couldn't help but help.
Ji Xian made a distrustful look and went to the front desk to verify, and got a reply from the front desk that she did often come to work in the apartment, so she came upside down.
"It's just me and my mother at home, so I'm a little more cautious. I'm sorry I misunderstood you. ”
"It's okay, let's go, you should still be waiting at home."
She is a single mother, she is very pleased with Ji Xian's caution, and she also thinks of letting her son be as cautious.
"Actually, I went to buy these dishes myself early in the morning, and my mother was injured in the face while cooking. I felt guilty and wanted to cook my own meal to make her happy. ”
Ji Xian pitifully threw out his own words.
"Your mother will be pleased."
The corners of Xie Lili's mouth had a smile on her face, and Ji Xian's well-behaved and sensible made her think of her son Jiang Jinqiu.
From childhood to adulthood, she was so sensible that she felt distressed, never asked her to do what she couldn't do, and would understand her hard work, and always tried to alleviate her burden.
"Alas! However, I don't know how to cook, I only watch other people do it. ”
Ji Xian glanced at Xie Lili twice, she should have thought of a very important person. That smile, gentle and happy.
She talked about her difficulties step by step, to see if Xie Lili would be moved.
Xie Lili looked at Ji Xian when she heard this, this apartment is full of rich people, and most of their children have not entered the kitchen at this age.
This girl was thin and weak, and she was a little frightened when she thought of the picture of her cutting vegetables with a knife, afraid that she would hurt herself.
"Little girl, if you don't mind, I'll teach you. The food I cook is said to be delicious. ”
With forty minutes to go, it shouldn't be a problem for her to help her get a few breakfasts.
"Really? Thank you so much, Auntie, you are such a kind and nice person. ”
I didn't expect it to be so easy for her to help herself, and I thought I would have to at least roll around for a while.
Ji Xian led Xie Lili into the house, and caught a glimpse of the box given by the neighbor who was placed on the Bogu shelf, which had been opened, could it be when Ji Ling opened it?
glanced at Ji Ling, who was still asleep, and gently closed the door. I started to learn how to make breakfast with Xie Lili.
"First of all, tell me what kind of dishes you are going to cook with these things."
Xie Lili laid out her things and rolled up her sleeves.
"Well, seafood porridge, meat buns, small wontons, jujube cakes."
Ji Xian recalled the name of the dish and watched Xie Lili cook intently.
Knowing Ji Xian's request, Xie Lili had a process in her heart. Quickly put it away.
Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms. Cut the shrimp and marinate them with ginger and white pepper. Then remove the internal organs and coat of the squid, and marinate it in the same way.
Here, the rice is washed and boiled with several times the water.
Put the noodles into the fermentation box and use a small timer on the side to record the time.
Ji Xian saw that he couldn't help himself, so he squatted aside and began to process spices such as shallots.
After being disgusted by Ji Ling for washing vegetables last time, she watched Ji Ling cook carefully, and she also knew how to choose vegetables.
Looking at the washed shallots and coriander in my hands, a sense of accomplishment arose, and I just wanted to put it on the cutting board and chop it but was stopped.
"Come on, you won't use a knife, you'll hurt yourself."
Xie Lili was glad that she was lucky, and quickly snatched the cooking knife from Ji Xian's hand, and did not forget to change the dish from the meat cutting board to another cutting board.
Ji Xian was stupid on the side, she didn't dare to step forward to help anymore, but she didn't help but delay Auntie's time.
Xie Lili is processing the soaked red dates, removing the jujube cores, putting the jujube meat into the pot, adding water to boil the jujube meat over high heat.
The rice in the pot on one side emitted a fragrance with the attack of the fierce fire, and the sweet and delicious aroma penetrated into Ji Ling's room, waking her up half-asleep and half-awake.
"Hmm~ Xi'er, so early... Ahh
Ji Ling was dumbfounded and looked at the large pile of ingredients in the kitchen and the stranger in front of him.
"Mom, you're awake. This is Aunt Xie, I asked me to teach me how to make breakfast. ”
Ji Xian playfully winked at Ji Ling, and Ji Ling understood that he didn't ask too much.
"Hello, I'm smiling. I accidentally met your daughter moving things and took a hand, seeing that she was so filial at a young age and wanted to make you breakfast, I thought about teaching her by the way. ”
Xie Lili is a little restrained in front of Ji Ling, although she usually doesn't pay much attention to entertainment news, but she has also seen some of Ji Ling's works and the big-name products she endorses.
Only then did she discover that the little girl she inadvertently helped turned out to be the daughter of a well-known actress.
For fear that she would misunderstand her ill intentions, she hurriedly explained.
"Damn, your cooking skills are amazing. I woke up because of the scent. ”
Ji Ling waved her hand, she didn't like the feeling of being held, she wanted to get along with all the people who deserved respect like ordinary friends.
"Ahem! Aunt Xie. I remember what you said that there was still an hour or something. ”
Looking at the time on the wall, it was almost time for Aunt Xie to go to work, Ji Xian hurriedly reminded him.
"That's right! Oops. I'm sorry, little girl, I have to go to work. ”
Xie Lili also looked at the clock on the wall, forgetting the time, she made an appointment to clean up at ten o'clock, and now there are fifteen minutes, so it should be just right to rush over.
Only then did Ji Ling know that her daughter had brought trouble to others, and glared at Ji Xian.
Reaching out and grabbing Xie Lili's clothes, motioning for her to wait.
"I'll do the rest. It just so happened that I woke up late, so this meal was lunch. If you don't have a job at home, come to the house for lunch. ”
