Chapter 22: White Lies
Xie Wen'an: "......? He still couldn't believe that what he was seeing was real.
Yiqing broke off a piece of cake and sent it to her father's mouth. The sweet fragrance in the mouth made Xie Wenan's eyes light up.
"Daddy, isn't it delicious?"
"Well, it's delicious." Xie Wenan had eaten dim sum before, but the taste of those dim sum couldn't be compared with the food that Sister Qing gave him, and the difference in taste was a world of difference.
"What's daddy eating?" Yilin also walked in at this time, and happened to see my sister giving my father delicious food.
Yiqing gave the remaining half of the cake to Yilin, the soft sweet fragrance melted in her mouth, and Yilin's long eyelashes blinked and blinked. "Sister, this cake is so delicious, as delicious as the white rabbit."
Yilin's little face that had just been basked in the sun revealed the brilliance of satisfaction. At this moment, Xie Wenan believed that what he had just seen was true.
"Sister Qing, this matter is too unbelievable, except for Daddy, no one else should let them know. Otherwise...... People will think you're a monster. ”
Xie Wenan didn't say it, he was too worried, and just repeatedly told his daughter not to tell anyone else about it. Don't even talk about grandparents, they're old, and if they leak out, it's not good.
Yiqing saw that her father believed her words, so she smiled faintly and nodded, she wouldn't tell anyone else at all.
"Dad, let's eat this at night! This one is quite good. "Yiqing heard from her grandmother at that time, and she cooked sorghum rice at night.
Sorghum rice with salted duck eggs is already a very good food in the Xie family.
Seeing the big duck eggs that Sister Qing was holding in her hand, Xie Wen'an's heartbeat began to accelerate again.
Xindao: Girl, if you don't scare your father, you won't be finished.
Yiqing didn't know what her father was thinking, so she added another sentence, just to let her father accept it as soon as possible.
"Daddy, this salted duck egg is the cheapest food in that place."
Salted duck eggs are actually the cheapest food in that place. After listening to Sister Qing'er's words, Xie Wenan was truly envious of the place that his daughter said.
"Just this salted duck egg, in our Xiaohe Village, a few people can eat it." After Xie Wen'an finished discussing in his heart, he began to think about how to explain the origin of this salted duck egg to his father and mother for a while.
Seeing that her father frowned, Xie Yiqing gave full play to the intimacy of the little padded jacket and gave her father ideas. "Daddy, or... You just said that it was sent by the student's parents? ”
In this era, students' families could not afford to pay for the bundle of silver, and it was normal to replace it with food.
"Hmm." After Xie Wen'an responded, he realized that this was lying, so he was a little embarrassed to clench his empty fists and cover his mouth and cough lightly.
"Daddy, white lies not only don't hurt people, but they often help people." Yiqing, who is empathetic, is busy opening her mouth to solve her father's worries.
When Xie Wenan heard it, it seemed that this was the reason, he lied to his daughter, not just so that the family could have a good meal and live a better life in the future.
"It's still our sister Qing who has a vision." Thinking about this, Xie Wen'an took out his handkerchief, wrapped these salted duck eggs, and prepared to take them to the stove room.
"Daddy, these salted duck eggs are all cooked, and you can't leave them for too long in such a hot weather, otherwise they will stink."
"Well, I'll talk to your grandmother." After Xie Wen'an finished speaking, he went to the stove room with the wrapped salted duck eggs.
In the stove room, Liu was cooking dinner with Sister Wan. Although Sister Wan is still a little worried, it is much better than yesterday.
"Mother."
"The Boss is back. Yo, what are you taking? When Liu saw the things handed over by his eldest son, he knew that the handkerchief was wrapped in an egg, and it was not very clear what the egg was.
"Mother, this is a boiled salted duck egg, sent by a student's family, and I just want to add a dish to my family today."
"Yo, there are ten salted duck eggs, our family, where can we finish one meal." Salted duck eggs are a precious thing for their family. Before Liu could untie the veil, he began to think about how to arrange the whereabouts of these duck eggs.
"Milk, there are nine people in our family, and one person is nine. The remaining one is left for Yilin to eat. Yifeng, who had just come back from outside, spoke his thoughts quickly.
"You stinky boy, you think it's beautiful. Such a big duck egg, I want to eat it in one meal, and it will be a loser. ”
Liu held the salted duck eggs in his hand, thinking, if such a large salted duck egg is sold in the market, one can be sold for at least four or five yuan, and these ten are forty or fifty yuan.
"Milk, you don't want to sell these duck eggs again, do you?" It's still Yifeng's idea of understanding milk, and he said Liu's mind in one sentence.
Liu didn't speak, and pondered repeatedly whether to sell this salted duck egg.
Knowing Liu's thoughts, Xie Wenan hurriedly spoke. "Mother, don't sell this salted duck egg, everyone is tired these days, so I'll make up for it."
"But I just had a big bun yesterday." Liu Shi felt that it was too extravagant to eat steamed buns and salted duck eggs here.
"Mother, these salted duck eggs are all cooked, and now the weather is hot again, you can't put them for a long time, otherwise they will stink."
Liu is at war in his heart, whether to eat salted duck eggs at night. Just when Liu's heart was still dying, he saw Yifeng pull Yilin in.
"Grandma."
", hee-hee."
Looking at the two grandsons with a flattering smile, Liu gritted his teeth, "At night, let's eat salted duck eggs." ”
"Oh oh, we have salted duck eggs to eat at night!"
At this moment, even Sister Wan'er had a smile on her face. After all, she has grown so big and has never eaten salted duck eggs.
At dinnertime, the Xie family's dinner table was a piece of harmony, and everyone held a salted duck egg in their hands.
Before the meal, there was another hiccup when it came to it. Liu looked at such a big salted duck egg, and it was a pity to eat it at a time, so he wanted to halve all the salted duck eggs.
Xie Wangchun knew Liu's plan and stopped it at that time. "Good things, what to cut in half, one person to eat one is not just right."
After listening to the old man's words, Liu put down the kitchen knife unwillingly.
No, finally sitting at the dinner table, Yifeng couldn't wait to crack open a duck egg, poke it lightly with chopsticks, and a stream of transparent butter overflowed.
"Milk, look, it's good that you didn't put on the kitchen knife, otherwise this oil and oil would have been ruined by you."
Xie Wangchun saw the oily duck egg yolk that his eldest grandson showed them, and he also opened a duck egg greedily, which was also oily in it.
"This is a good thing, my eldest grandson said it well, I didn't let you cut it."
