Chapter 21: Striving for the third year of high school
In the kitchen
If the mother rolls up her sleeves and prepares to do a big job, if the father looks at the high-spirited appearance of the mother, he understands that his baby daughter-in-law can't help but cook "delicious food".
It doesn't matter if your family eats those things, but if you give Lin Xuan those delicacies, maybe Lin Xuan will never stay at our house to eat in the future, as Dad thought. Therefore, Ru Dad can only be tactful and persuade Ru Mom to give up the idea of cooking from the side, such as Dad said very intimately, "Wife, you went to the supermarket today and bought so many things for you, so leave dinner to me." Guaranteed to feast your mouths. ”
It's a pity that Ru's mother didn't want to lose an opportunity to show her cooking skills to the guests, so she said to Ru's father very firmly, "Husband, I know that you feel sorry for me, I'm afraid that I will be tired of cooking, but Lin Xuan finally stayed at our house for a meal, of course I have to cook myself to express my sincerity." Besides, when Lin Xuan came at noon today, he also said that he was envious that Xiao Chu could eat his mother's cooking every day, and I also wanted Lin Xuan to feel the taste of his mother in me. You also know, Lin Xuan's family lacks nothing, what haven't you eaten? But his mom and dad are so busy with work that I don't think he can eat a few meals a year that his mom cooks. So I want to cook a meal for his mom that she wants."
Listening to such a far-fetched reason as her mother, Ru's father thought, "Maybe one of your meals will ruin the taste of Lin Xuan's mother"
I think so, but I can't say it directly. If Dad decides to convince Ru Mom from the side. For example, Dad thought about it and said, "Then you can cook a few dishes, you don't have to cook them all"
If your mother doesn't understand why this is happening, if your father explains, "Do you think, you only cook a few dishes today, and then make a few different dishes every day, so that in front of Lin Xuan, you can even show your superb cooking skills, you can cook anything, you can do anything, if you do all the dishes you can make today, then what will you do for him to eat later?" If you cook the same dish for him every day, he will get bored, don't you think? ”
Ru's mother thought about it, Lin Xuan would eat at her house for the next few days, and then carefully calculated the dishes she would cook, and felt that what her father said made sense.
Seeing that Ru's mother finally stopped insisting, Ru's father finally breathed a sigh of relief. If cooking skills are divided into three levels, such as mother, it should be poor. If the difference is divided into three grades, then Ru's mother's cooking skills should be medium. In general, it is easy for people in your own family to eat it, but if you take it out for hospitality, you are a little ashamed to meet people.
The people in the family are very spoiled by Ru's mother, and every time they eat the dishes made by Ru's mother, they will not directly give an objective evaluation, and every time a guest comes to the house, they will not let Ruma's mother cook. So much so that my mother always has confidence in her cooking skills.
About forty minutes passed, and Ru's mother came out of the kitchen to remind Ruchu and Lin Xuan that the meal was ready, and they could wash their hands and eat.
Ruchu and Lin Xuan went to the bathroom to wash their hands, and asked Lin Xuan what he wanted to drink, and Lin Xuan said, "I can do it"
As at the beginning, he said, "Then I'll take the milk"
Lin Xuan sat on the dining chair, walked to Lin Xuan with four cans of milk, and put the milk on the table in front of the four seats. As early as the beginning, he said, "You sit first, I'll help serve the food"
Lin Xuan said, "I'm going to help too." ”
As early as the beginning, he said, "No need, you can sit down, and you will be fine immediately"
Ruchu walked into the kitchen with two dishes, walked to the table with four pairs of chopsticks, put down the dishes, divided the chopsticks and said to Lin Xuan, "You have a good day today, my dad has made a lot of dishes that he is good at." At this time, Ru's mother also came out of the kitchen with two dishes, listening to Ruchu's praise to Ru's father, Ru's mother immediately said dissatisfiedly, "You saw your father cooking, and a few dishes were obviously made by me."
Ruchu immediately flattered and said, "Mom has worked hard, which dishes are made by you, let's eat more later, okay?" When her mother heard Ruchu say this, she immediately became happy, and arrogantly said, "That's pretty much it."
When the dishes were ready, the four of them all sat on the dining chairs, such as Dad said, "Lin Xuan, you can eat as much as you want, don't be polite." Seeing you, I'm cooking for you."
Lin Xuan looked at Ru's father and said politely, "Thank you, uncle, you have worked hard."
For example, my mother watched Lin Xuan pick up the chopsticks, and immediately said, "It's not hard, it's not hard, as long as you like to eat, you can come to our house to eat every day in the future." This, this, and this are all made by me, you can taste it and see if it is delicious or not. Oh, by the way, I forgot, there's a soup in the pot, you eat it first, I'll bring the soup."
Seeing Ru's mother get up and walk away, Ruchu immediately reminded Lin Xuan in a low voice, "Just now my mother said that you must not eat the dishes she cooked, otherwise you will doubt your life." Lin Xuan didn't believe what he said at the beginning, and asked, "Is it that serious?" At first glance, Lin Xuan didn't believe what he said, so he said, "I don't believe you ask my dad."
Lin Xuan's questioning eyes looked at Ru Dad, Ru Dad didn't know how to answer, so he could only say, "You can try it yourself"
For example, my mother came out of the kitchen with soup and asked, "What are you talking about?" Hurry up and eat, don't wait for me"
Ru's mother sat back in her place and beckoned Lin Xuan to eat, "Lin Xuan, try this, do you like it deliciously?" ”
Lin Xuan thought about the reminder just now, but he was embarrassed not to taste it when he looked at his mother's expectant eyes. He stretched out his chopsticks and put a little bit into his mouth.
Such as mother, such as father, including Ruchu, all stared at Lin Xuan, wanting to know what Lin Xuan would say. When Lin Xuan swallowed it, his mother was even more excited, and immediately asked, "How is it, is my mother's cooking delicious?" ”
Lin Xuan said, "It's delicious, I don't believe you can taste it"
Ruchu refused to say, "I like to eat this", and then immediately put a chopstick, such as the sour and spicy shredded potatoes made by his father, into his mouth, to prove that he likes to eat other dishes.
For example, for the first time, my mother was very happy to receive praise from someone other than her family about her cooking skills. immediately beckoned Lin Xuan to eat the other two dishes he made. Lin Xuan was also satisfied with her mother. Ruchu watched Lin Xuan eat the dishes made by Ru's mother, and felt a little distressed about Lin Xuan's experience. immediately signaled to Ru Dad, and wanted Ru Dad to help Lin Xuan relieve the siege. Ru's father understood the meaning of Ruchu, and said to Ru's mother, "Don't greet Lin Xuan, eat yourself, you watch Lin Xuan eat, Lin Xuan will be embarrassed"
Ruchu also immediately echoed, "That's it, Mom, don't greet him, he will be embarrassed if you greet him again, and he won't dare to eat at our house in the future."
Listening to Ru's father and Ruchu both saying this, Ru's mother finally stopped staring at Lin Xuan to eat vegetables. In general, this meal was quite enjoyable, after all, Rud's cooking skills were a big plus for the satisfaction of Ruchu's grandparents back then. I remember that the biggest prerequisite for choosing a son-in-law was that my grandparents had to be able to cook, and I was worried that if my son-in-law couldn't cook, my daughter might poison herself
After eating, Lin Xuan helped Ruchu make up for it for more than an hour before going home. When Lin Xuan left, Ru's mother called Ruchu to send Lin Xuan downstairs. In the elevator, Ruchu looked at Lin Xuan and couldn't help laughing, Lin Xuan asked suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?" ”
As early as the beginning, he said: "I said that my mother's cooking is not delicious, now you believe it, right?" ”
Lin Xuan said, "It's okay"
As at the beginning, he said disgustedly, "Hypocrisy, why don't you eat more, I can see it, except for when my mother stared at you, you didn't move at all after you pinched those chopsticks." was debunked by Ruchu, Lin Xuan immediately opened the topic and said, "Why are you eating and observing me?" ”
was asked by Lin Xuan, Ruchu immediately quibbled and said, "Who observed you, I just want to know your reaction to eating my mother's cooking." ”
Lin Xuan asked again, "Then what did you observe?" ”
As at the beginning, he said "No, you are too good at pretending"
At this time, the elevator opened, and as early as he was afraid that Lin Xuan would still chase after him, he immediately preemptively said, "Thank you today, be careful on the road, goodbye" After speaking, he pressed the door to close.
Lin Xuan turned his head and said to Ruchu, "Continue tomorrow, you rest early at night, don't lie in bed tomorrow." ”
As at the beginning, he pretended to be not annoying and said, "I know, it's really verbose"
Although he said so on his lips, he was full of gratitude to Lin Xuan in his heart. After all, there is no one else who can sacrifice his time to help him make up for his classes, except for Lin Xuan.
The other side
Wen Yuan would go to Hu Zheng's house on time every day to report. After Wenyuan's long-term perseverance, not only Hu Zheng and Hu's mother are accustomed to Wenyuan's existence, but even those customers who go to Hu Zheng's house for breakfast are also accustomed to Wenyuan's existence. Whenever there is a rush hour for breakfast, before Wenyuan takes the initiative to help with the work, there will be customers shouting "Wenyuan, hurry up, I'm in a hurry"
Whenever this happens, Wenyuan will always reply with a good service attitude, "It'll be fine right away"
The neighbors around Hu's mother often jokingly said to Hu's mother, "Xiuju, you not only have a sensible and excellent daughter, but also a handsome and hardworking son."
Whenever Hu Zheng was mentioned, Hu's mother would always be very happy and proudly smiled and said, "Yes, Wenyuan, this child will come to the store as soon as he is on vacation, and he has helped me a lot." If only it were my son. But ah, I know that people are satisfied, and I am already very satisfied with having a daughter like Hu Zheng, but I don't dare to ask for anything else."
The neighbor's aunt said enviously, "Yes, if I had an excellent and sensible daughter like Hu Zheng, I would be content, but you see my son who only knows how to play basketball all day long, alas, forget it, don't talk about it, it's angry to talk too much." ”
Wen Yuan listened to the neighbor's aunt say this, and immediately comforted and said, "Auntie, isn't it good to play basketball?" Playing basketball is a great way to exercise his body and develop his teamwork skills with others."
When the neighbor's aunt heard Wen Yuan say this, she smiled and said, "Well, what you said makes sense, although my son also said so, but I think what you said is more convincing to me, or you can speak"
Just a few days of winter vacation, in make-up classes, and the Spring Festival were spent.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, it's time for the third year of high school. It's one step closer to the college entrance examination.
After a few days of make-up classes during the winter vacation, I have made a lot of progress as at the beginning, but it is also more difficult to enter a major university through the college entrance examination.
As usual, I went straight home after school.
When I got home, Ruchu asked Ru's mother while changing her shoes, "Mom, what are you eating today, I'm starving" Ruchu finished changing her shoes, went to the coffee table and took an apple, and walked towards the kitchen while biting. Looking at the kitchen cooking, Rud's father asked vaguely while chewing apples, "Dad, aren't you working overtime today?" ”
For example, while putting the vegetables in the pot on the plate, my father said, "I, haven't I always been able to work overtime without working overtime!" Now that you are about to take the college entrance examination, you have a heavy amount of schoolwork, and you need to eat more to supplement your nutrition. So I have to try my best to reduce the amount of overtime I work and take more time to go home and make you delicious food so that you can replenish your nutrition. ”
Hearing what Ru's father said, Ruchu stepped forward and stretched out his hands to hug Rud's father, kissed Rud's cheek, and said coquettishly, "Dad, you're so good." I knew you loved me the most, I loved you."
For example, while untying the apron around his waist, Dad said, "Then you think too much, my favorite has always been your mother, and it has never changed and will never change in the future."
As I listened to my father's oath of love to my mother, I said sourly, "My teeth are going to fall out"
Ruchu let go of the hands that were tightly surrounding Ru's father and continued to nibble on his apple.
As my father said, "I'll bring the food to the table." Go to your room and wake up your mom for dinner."
As early as the beginning, he asked, "Why does my mother sleep like this?" ”
Ru's father said while holding chopsticks, "Her little sister recommended a TV series to her some time ago, she didn't have time to watch it some time ago, and she was hooked when she watched it yesterday, and she stayed up late last night to chase the drama, and she chased a third of the drama in one go." I couldn't hold it anymore, so I put down my phone and fell asleep."
As she walked from the kitchen to her mother's room, she said, "My mother is still happy, she doesn't have to go to school or work, and she can do whatever she wants all day long."
Ru's father walked behind Ruchu with the food and said, "That's not because she has such a good husband as me!" ”
Ruchu is really speechless about Rudad's narcissism and show affection. Ruchu woke up Ru's mother, Ru's mother went to the bathroom to clean up, and sat down at the dining table with red eyes. Ruchu looked at Ru's mother with a tired face, and said worriedly, "Mom, don't stay up late to catch up on dramas in the future, my father and I are not at home during the day, and no one will disturb you if you chase dramas during the day, why do you stay up late?" Staying up late is not good for your eyes and skin."
For example, my mother said, "I didn't deliberately want to stay up late, I just stayed up all night without controlling it for a while, don't worry, I won't be in the future." ”
Ruchu said while helping Ru's mother serve rice, "What you said, don't take it as an example"
Ru's mother said "Well, guaranteed" while taking the rice handed over by Ruchu.
Ru's father put down the soup in his hand and sat down at the table where he often sits, and Ruchu helped Ru's father also serve a bowl of rice, and finally served a bowl of rice to himself.
After eating, Ru Dad cleaned up the table, Ru Chu was about to go back to the room to do his homework, Ru Dad stopped Ru Chu and said, "Xiao Chu, you don't have to rush back to the room to do your homework, just finished eating, go sit on the sofa for a while, I will have something to tell you"
Ruchu didn't know what Ru's father was going to say, anyway, he just sat on the sofa and rested according to what Ru's father said.
