Outside, Lin Jing talked to Mrs. Han for a while, and seeing that the time was almost up, she took the initiative to go to the kitchen to make lunch.

Mrs. Han smiled and said, "Oh, you see that I am an old woman, and my hands and feet are not good, so I will not be polite to you." ”

In the past, Mrs. Han and her son were at home, and most of them ate in the canteen, and there was rarely a fire at home.

Lin Jing said with a smile: "As long as Grandma Han doesn't think I'm cooking roughly." ”

Grandma Han said: "I heard Xiaoping and Xiao'an say that the food you cook tastes very good, so don't be humble." ”

Lin Jing smiled shyly and took the dishes into the kitchen.

She first washed the rice and put it in the pot, then killed the yellow eel, cleaned the bones, cut the meat into very thin and thin strips, put some soy sauce, ginger shreds, white wine, and mixed some sauce to marinate it.

The hare brought back by the Jin Ping brothers yesterday has not been killed, and Lin Jing cleaned it up in three or two clicks, because considering that Mrs. Han is old and has bad teeth, she didn't make a cold salad like yesterday, put a little bean paste, and braised it.

Thinking of simmering a little longer, simmering so much that she could eat a little more.

By the time Zhou Xiangchang came back, Lin Jing had already prepared all the meals.

Braised hare is today's main dish, eel vegetable porridge is today's staple food, in addition, at the request of Jin'an, cooked a bowl of meat and water porridge, and then a plate of cold dressing, in addition to the cold meat and water cake, but also fried a loofah, cold mixed with a cowpea.

Four dishes and one soup, very hearty.

When Zhou Xiangchang came back and saw Lin Jing, he nodded: "Comrade Xiaolin is here, you have worked hard to make this big table of dishes." ”

Lin Jing stood up nervously, clasped her hands together, and said a little stiffly: "Township Chief Zhou." ”

Zhou Xiangchang waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, just call me Uncle Zhou at home." ”

Lin Jing embarrassedly called "Uncle Zhou".

Mrs. Han smiled and said, "Son, you're back, let's have dinner, Xiaoping, you go and call Xiao An and Lotus Flower to eat." ”

Jin Ping got up and went to the bedroom.

I saw that in the bedroom, Xiao Qinghe was sitting on a small stool in front of the bed, holding a villain book in his hand, reading it with relish.

The sunlight outside the window poured in, forming a halo on her body, which looked like a cherub in Western mythology.

As for his younger brother, he leaned crookedly on the bed, his eyes glanced at the book in his hand for a while, and then looked at Xiao Qinghe, obviously inattentive.

Jin Ping shook his head, it seems that his younger brother has also entered puberty, but he is the object of affection, and he is too young......

Jin Ping opened his mouth widely: "Xiao An, Lotus, it's time to eat." ”

Jin An hurriedly closed the book in his hand, got up and went to pull Xiao Qinghe: "Let's go, Lotus, go to eat first, and then come and see after eating." ”

"yes, okay." Xiao Qinghe closed the book carefully, put it on the stool, and followed Jin An out.

As soon as Jin An went out, he pulled Xiao Qinghe to walk in front of his grandfather, and said excitedly: "Grandpa, this is a lotus." ”

Xiao Qinghe bowed respectfully and saluted: "Hello Grandpa Zhou." ”

Zhou Xiangchang glanced at Xiao Qinghe scrutinically, and after a while, he nodded: "Well, lotus children, you are okay." ”

Jin An said dissatisfiedly: "Grandpa! You're too serious! Don't scare the little lotus! He pulled Xiao Qinghe to the dining table, and said, "Let's go, let's eat, ignore grandpa." ”

Zhou Xiangchang shook his head, which of the comrades in the township is not obedient in front of him, or the eldest grandson, who is also well-behaved in front of him, and this little grandson is not afraid of him when he is young.

He got up and helped the old mother to the throne and sat down.

Jin Ping and Lin Jing added porridge to everyone, and Mrs. Han smiled and said, "Xiaolin, don't be busy, just sit down and eat, just let the juniors do it." ”

Lin Jing said: "I'm close here, it's convenient. ”

After the porridge was added, Lin Jing sat down.

Zhou Xiangchang looked at the porridge in the bowl and said, "What is cooking here?" ”

Jinping said: "It was Aunt Lin who brought the yellow eel. ”

Xiao Qinghe raised his head and said, "I caught it with my mother in our field yesterday evening. ”

Zhou Xiangchang nodded and said: "Only this time, don't take it as an example, come here in the future, don't bring these things again." ”

Mrs. Han said: "I have already told Xiaolin, we can't take the common people with a stitch. ”

Zhou Xiangchang said: "That's how it should be, now that the reform and opening up has taken place, the ideological level of some comrades has declined, and they are no longer as strict with themselves as before. ”

Mrs. Han said angrily: "Okay, okay, you can just talk about these words in the unit, and when you go home, you will say, eat, eat." ”

Zhou Xiangchang smiled embarrassedly.

A meal, everyone is very satisfied, although Lin Jing's craftsmanship is average, the ingredients are not good, just pick it up, it is a good dish.

Especially the eel vegetable porridge, the porridge is boiled thickly, each rice has bloomed, the eel is also boiled very raked, the tongue is rotten, the vegetables are rolled in the porridge and then the pot is raised, and the fragrance of the vegetables is maintained, because it is cut very finely, you don't need to chew, you can swallow it directly with the rice porridge.

Mrs. Han ate two large bowls, which made Zhou Xiangchang very happy to see it.

The old mother is in her eighties, her food is getting worse and worse year by year, and she feels less and less year by year.

Last night, the old mother was very surprised, she slept for more than ten hours, and today she looks much better, and she ate two big bowls of rice, which made him feel a little good for Lin Jing's mother and daughter.

After the meal, he took the initiative to say: "Comrade Xiaolin, let's go back after dinner at home in the evening, it's hot now, don't get heat stroke in the afternoon." ”

Lin Jing was flattered and said, "Then how can you be embarrassed? ”

"What's this, it's just a light meal. Besides, Xiaoping and Xiaoan will trouble you for a few days. ”

As for what the old mother said, she wants Xiao An to get in touch with the farmers and learn more about the livelihood of the farmers, which Zhou Xiangchang agrees with.

Xiao An's child was born in a good time and has not suffered much since he was a child, so he should be allowed to have more contact with all levels of society, especially the poor people, so that he can be separated from the masses in the future.

Comrade Xiaolin, he observed it, he is an honest and responsible person, Lotus Flower, this child, is also a smart and clever person, Xiao An has more contact, there is no harm.

Lin Jing said shyly: "What's the trouble?" It's just a matter of adding a few more pairs of chopsticks. There is meat in the mountains, fish in the water, and rice and vegetables are all grown at home, so you don't need money. It was thanks to the help of our two children. ”。

Zhou Xiangchang said: "I also asked someone about your affairs, the family tragedy left behind by the educated youth returning to the city is not your alone, it is common in the whole country, this is the suffering of a generation!" If you have any difficulties on your side, you can mention them to the government, and if you can help, I will ask the relevant departments to help you solve them. ”
