Chapter 16: All Goes Well

Xiaohong brought Chen's mother's explanation. She wants to have dinner with Chen Xiaoyun.

Li Yi's current state can be described in one word, that is, "the color of the rice has changed". At the moment, she just wants to find a valid reason to go into the kitchen and cook her own dishes, even if it is a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

It has nothing to do with the system's explanation, she made such a decision because she was really greedy!

Modern work is stressful, and she can only survive by relying on all kinds of food comfort. Cooking is a pastime for her. It's a pleasure to eat your own food.

When she first arrived in this world, she naively thought that she could restrain her longing for food.

At that time, she didn't know how tired it was to play an ancient person, from the way she spoke to the way she behaved. Tension is necessary at all times, and there is no moment of relaxation except sleeping.

She doesn't even have someone to talk to! If there is no more channel for her to decompress, she fears that sooner or later she will go crazy.

Chen's mother entered the inner room and saw her baby daughter sitting at the table with a worried face. The daughter was already thin, and this stinging illness made her delicate face a little less bloody. The fragile one is distressing.

Walked up to her daughter and took her thin shoulders in her arms. He held her face with his hand and rubbed it gently. Li Yi closed her eyes, enjoying the intimate time between mother and daughter at this moment.

The sound of serving food disturbed the silence between the two.

"What did the doctor say?" Chen's mother motioned for Li Yi to start eating.

The doctor said it was all right. Mother, Yun'er has eaten at noon, and she is not hungry now. Li Yi didn't deliberately coquettish to win sympathy. She felt the long-lost maternal love in Chen's mother. Unconsciously it becomes a child's tone.

"Yun'er, you're too thin." Chen's mother took the hairpin on Li Yi's head and spread her hair out. She knows how tiring it is to wear such a hairstyle every day, and it is good for her daughter to keep it for a while.

Seeing Chen's mother's insistence, Li Yi could only continue to fight hard and act in a dinner scene. Good thing is that the hair is relaxed. I didn't feel tired when I tied it, but the moment I was unwrapped, I realized how uncomfortable it was to tie my hair for a day.

Dinner is still lamb porridge. Two pickled side dishes were used instead of noodles and buns. Seeing that the batter was still there, Li Yi's heart dropped a little.

With that bowl of batter, Li Yi ate dinner to the satisfaction of Chen's mother.

After dinner, Li Yi curiously asked Chen's mother why she had mutton porridge three times a day.

"Yun'er doesn't like it? Tomorrow there will be none. ”

Li Yi nodded violently in his heart: "Okay, okay," he denied, "I don't like it, I'm just curious." ”

Mother Chen didn't expose this duplicitous little girl, and explained in detail: "It's summer." Summer is not the season to eat mutton, so it is natural that the middle school will not prepare mutton. In order to replenish your body, my mother paid for them to buy a whole sheep and come back. ”

"Oh...... I know. The mutton could not be eaten in one meal, and the kitchen people were worried that if they did not eat all the meat, it would spoil. That's why we have mutton porridge, right? ”

Mother Chen nodded approvingly.

Li Yi changed the topic: "Mother, I want to start asking the old man tomorrow morning." Is that possible? ”

Mother Chen's hand combing her hair paused: "Go ahead." This time you're sick and she's worried. ”

"Today, Yun'er asked the doctor how to treat the insomnia of the old lady."

"What did the doctor say?"

The doctor said that a dietary therapy method is to cook milk and rice together to make milk porridge, which may improve the old lady's condition. Moreover, milk porridge can also nourish and nourish the skin, and it is also excellent for you to eat. ”

"Diet? Does it mean to use food instead of medicine? Chen's mother was a little puzzled.

Li Yi clenched her fists nervously and put forward her ultimate request: "Yun'er wants to make this milk porridge for you and the old lady with her own hands to show filial piety, is it okay?" ”

Finally spoken! It's not easy.

Li Yi waited with bated breath for Chen's mother's answer.

"There's nothing wrong with that, my mother is just worried that you'll be tired." Chen's mother agreed very simply. "Yun'er, my mother agreed with you to do it, not because you want to drink milk porridge. It's because I hope you learn how to cook. ”

"Huh?" Happiness came so suddenly, Li Yi couldn't accept it for a while.

Chen's mother misunderstood her voice as surprise: "Yun'er, you are fourteen years old, and you will get married in two years at most." ”

Touching her daughter's head, she continued: "Marrying is not the same as being in your own family! Female workers and cooks must be able to do so. Although you are not expected to be proficient in everything, you must also be able to get by on the face. In the past, you always couldn't bear to listen to me say this, but because you were young, your mother didn't force you. Now that you've mentioned it, let's start learning. ”

It's just drowsy and someone sends a pillow, how could she refuse such a good thing? It's good to settle this matter quickly: "So, where do I go to practice?" ”

"Let's go to the kitchenette in my yard. I'll ask them to provide you with the ingredients when I get back. Chen Muli arranged the matter.

"Then who will teach me how to cook?" The necessary camouflage is still needed.

"My mother has a cookbook, which was given to me by your grandmother back then. Give her to you tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, mother." And recipes? Li Yi is really curious about the recipes of this era. What is written on it? How to make steamed buns? Hahaha.

Li Yi, who was in a good mood, began to think crankily again.

Seeing that her daughter didn't speak, Chen's mother thought she was worried: "Don't be afraid, no matter what you learn, it's fine." ”

Chen's mother explained to Li Yi in detail, then got up and went back.

Li Yi was surprised to find that Xiaocui was already ready to wash for her.

The entertainment life of the ancients was poor, and most people chose to sleep after dinner. Of course, if Li Yi is asked to choose between reading, working as a woman, and sleeping, she will also choose to sleep.

It's just that she slept a lot during the day, and just now she was allowed by Chen's mother to learn to cook, and her spirit was very excited, lying on the bed and tossing and turning, and she couldn't sleep at all.

It was Xiaohong who was on duty tonight, and she heard the sound of Li Yi turning over, and came over to ask her what was wrong. Hearing her say that she couldn't sleep, she moved a small bench and sat next to Li Yi's bed to chat with her. said that it was chatting, almost all of it was her, and Li Yi was listening.

This girl is a lively character, and she often can't stop talking about it. At this moment, with Li Yi's orders, he was even more gushing.

The crisp girl in the ear is a bit like a system. Speaking of the system, it's usually really quiet. If you don't look for it, it's quiet as if it didn't exist. It would be nice if it didn't exist, and if it didn't exist, there would be no constraints. But a lot of knowledge is also taught by it.

Without the system, I wouldn't have come to this strange world. But if you don't come here, you'll die.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I still have to thank it for giving me a chance to live again.

Whether it is the original world or here, she still prefers to be alone, without pretense, without communicating with others. You can think about nothing, or you can think about everything. At this time, she is free.

It's not bad to stay with Xiaohong, the little girl is still talking until now, and she doesn't realize that she has lost her mind. It's a pretty good feeling.

I'll be able to go to the kitchen tomorrow, and I'll have to show off my skills then. Well...... Make a difference within reason.

So sleepy...... Xiaohong's voice gradually became quieter. Is she sleepy too? I had to let her go over there and lie down and sleep.

She struggled to open her eyes, and saw a figure in the haze.

Hey? Isn't she not worth the night today?
