When Anton and Mimi arrived home, it was too late, and it was definitely too late to pack their things, so they washed up and stayed first.

The original second bedroom of the apartment rented by Qi Min was a children's room, with a wooden single bed that was 1.8 meters long, just enough to put Mimi's beluga whale plush toys on the bed.

The little girl took a shower and changed into her pajamas, and lay on the bed with her stuffed beluga in her arms, but asked someone to tell her a story.

In the past, this kind of thing would not have been done by Qi Min. ON THE ONE HAND, SHE SOMETIMES DELAYS GOING HOME LATE WHEN SHE DOES EXPERIMENTS, AND ON THE OTHER HAND, BECAUSE SHE MAINLY WANTS TO TEACH THE LITTLE GIRL TO LEARN ENGLISH AT THAT TIME, IT IS DEFINITELY NOT APPROPRIATE TO LET QI MIN, WHO HAS A CHINLISH ACCENT, TEACH IT. And now back in China, it's time to teach Mimi to learn Chinese, and there is no problem with the accent.

Anton looked at Qi Min, meaning that it was her time this time, right?

Qi Min is a little weak-hearted, she has no emotion since she was a child reading texts, not to mention that she has to adapt it a little bit according to the storybook.

But she thought about it, anyway, Chinese culture is so rich in stories that it can't cope with a little girl? So Qi Min found a simplified version of "Journey to the West" from a bookcase left by the landlord, and said to Mimi in Chinese: "Okay then...... Today, let's tell a story of "Journey to the West". ”

This was originally a very stable choice, and Mimi was also looking forward to this storybook that began with "The West of Watermelon". But after Qi Min read the book for five minutes, even Anton, who was listening to it next to him, couldn't listen to it anymore.

"Can you stop reading it like that?" Anton said helplessly, "Even if you read it, it has a bit of a tone, right?" ”

"Then you come, you come." Qi Min stood up from the side of the bed and threw the book to him.

Anton opened it and looked at it carefully for more than ten seconds, and then had to give up: "Is there any other version, with ...... PHONETIC? ”

This was a good time to laugh at Anton for being illiterate in Chinese characters, if she could laugh for five minutes before, but this time Qi Min wisely held back a laugh. She knew that she couldn't joke casually at this time, and she had to give the other party affirmation first.

——

In the end, Qi Min didn't know what story Anton had told Mimi, because she was already asleep when Anton returned to the master bedroom after telling the story.

When she woke up again, she heard the little girl's cry coming from not far away. Qi Min opened his eyes and sat up from the bed, and saw that the door of the master bedroom was open, and Mimi limped but still ran in very quickly.

"Mom, get up!" Mimi climbed onto the bed with her hands and feet, and her little hands pulled her quilt directly.

"Okay, okay." Qi Min got up from the bed, and while cutting his hair, he was pulled out of the bedroom by Mimi, but saw Anton serving dishes from the kitchen, and there was already a lot of food on the table.

Qi Min took a closer look, Songhua small belly slices, boiled eggs poured with a special sauce of soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil, old vinegar spinach without peanuts replaced with almond kernels, and spinach pork liver porridge that was being served outside - almost all the rest of her refrigerator was used.

"I actually cooked...... Qi Min couldn't help muttering. Speaking of which, she seems to have not eaten Anton's cooking for a long time, and she eats canteens and takeout things that are not seasoned enough to make up for heavy oil and salt every day, and her tongue is almost woody.

"If you don't cook, are you going to give Mimi that trash." Anton pretended to be indifferent and put a bowl of porridge in front of her.

Qi Min regarded this as Anton's sincerity, and the quality of this sincerity was really good.

Because the porridge is cooked in a pressure cooker, although it is not long, it is quite hot, probably with just the right amount of salt and sesame oil, which complements the flavor of spinach and pork liver. Songhua belly was bought by Qi Min with corn sausage in the supermarket on Tuesday, but he was too lazy to cut it after buying it. Now the rice vinegar is cut into thin and even flakes and presented on the plate, as if it has been raised a lot of grades. The level of old vinegar spinach naturally has nothing to say, and the chef that Anton has learned seriously is obviously different from the self-taught chef of ordinary people. The sauce on the boiled eggs is even more magical, and this exclusive recipe, which is said to have been commonly used in high-end cold dishes in Chinese restaurants in the past, can make Mimi, who has always hated eggs, especially boiled eggs, eat one and a half in a row.

When Qi Min ate it, he couldn't help but feel for the Nth time that Anton had really memorized it since he was a child. He finally learned the craft in the previous serious Chinese restaurant, but he was forced to deliver food because of the change of boss, which is really a waste of this craft.

There may have been dozens of times, and Qi Min almost said to Anton, "When I graduate, I will go back and find you a serious chef job" or something like that. But every time she didn't really say it, mainly because she was afraid that her promise would not be kept. She knew that Anton had wanted to be a chef for as long as she could remember, and that it was a serious ideal, not just a job, so she couldn't just make a promise.

What's more, to be more realistic, most of the chef licenses are required to apply for a chef in a regular restaurant. Anton is twenty-five years old, and it stands to reason that he should already take the intermediate chef certificate. But he didn't study in a regular school in China, and because of the difficulty in recognizing Chinese characters, he probably couldn't go to water class quickly. If you really want to take this certificate, you may have to start by recognizing commonly used Chinese characters, which is too troublesome.

Of course, if Anton wants to do this, Qi Min thinks it's worth it. Anyway, the reality is that whether it is from the financial help he gave her when she was studying for a doctorate, or from the fact that Mimi's leg injury made Qi Min seriously at a loss, Qi Min fundamentally owes him.

Perhaps seeing Qi Min's distraction, Anton asked her, "What are the arrangements for today?" ”

Qi Min was pulled back to reality, but he was stunned for a second: "Pack up your things? ”

"I've almost finished packing," said Anton, "until half past ten when you sleep." ”

Qi Minxin said that she could be blamed for this. Anton slept next to her and didn't call her, and then complained that she couldn't sleep and couldn't get up to work, is this her pot?

"That'...... Let's go out and buy something we don't need. Qi Min thought for a while and said, "Mimi will focus on learning Chinese in the future, and there should be books with basic pinyin." And then I have to buy some clothes and stuff like that......"

"I've got to get a casserole, and I can't use what was left over here." Anton also said, "And I also have to buy ingredients." The fridge was almost empty, not at all like a normal place to live. ”

That means she's not normal. Qi Min "cut" a sentence in her heart, but she had to admit that during the time she lived by herself, she really lived a depraved life of fast food takeaways at every turn.

But when you think about it, you have to go to a place that sells books, clothes, and kitchen utensils, and you can buy some vegetables and meat. Qi Min thought about it for a while, and felt that a shopping plaza about five kilometers away from here should be suitable, and there was a supermarket underground where you could buy food.
