Chapter 23: Poor little one
Cheng Enni did not go to the cafeteria with her classmates to cook when she got out of class, but went directly to the school gate, where Hu Shuiying was already waiting.
From the gap in the big iron gate, she handed the lunch box in the cloth pocket to Cheng Enni, and Hu Shuiying couldn't hide her excitement and told Cheng Enni about the grand occasion in the morning, "It's all sold out, and it's sold for forty-two yuan!" ”
Cheng Enni smiled slightly, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and it was expected that she was sold out.
Their small county town is not big, there are only a few streets, small, factories have to go out, the school road is the only way, in addition to students, there are many employees.
"Auntie, you didn't sleep much yesterday, you have a good night's sleep in the afternoon, and you still have to be busy at night." Cheng Enni's eyes were bright, but she was not like Hu Shuiying, so happy that she couldn't find the north.
Hu Shuiying nodded again and again, she was still in a state of extreme excitement, but Cheng Enni was right, she didn't fall asleep at all last night, and she had been lying in bed for more than an hour, and she was so nervous that she couldn't close her eyes.
"Okay, don't worry about me, my aunt is an adult, you hurry back to the classroom to eat and study hard." Hu Shuiying told Cheng Enni.
Back in the classroom, Cheng Enni opened the cloth pocket and took out the lunch box that was still slightly hot.
Now students generally use the old-fashioned aluminum lunch box, a piece of three taels of rice can fill the lunch box, Cheng Enni told Hu Shuiying to go to the South Grocery Store to buy a single-ear enamel rice bowl, which has a larger capacity.
Taking off the flat lid on it, the heat and aroma poured out together, and the classmates sitting next to Cheng Enni subconsciously looked over.
The rice bowl was piled to the brim, and a poached egg was covered on the top, and the poached egg was moved to the flat lid, and the vegetables underneath were exposed.
Stir-fried pork liver with red peppers, green sweet potato leaves, fragrant dried pork with a smoked fragrance, and shredded potatoes sold at a stall outside the school......
I kind of want to drool!
This level of food, not to mention the New Year, the extent of the Mid-Autumn Festival must be there.
After slicing the vegetables apart a little, the rice soaked in gravy underneath was revealed, and the part that did not soak in the gravy was white and fat, with distinct grains, and the slender, yellow, and raw rice of the school could not be compared at all.
Needless to say, this must be a meal sent by the family.
Classmates, look at me, I'll look at you, if a guest comes to their house to cook a meal, occasionally their parents will come to deliver a meal, but aren't Cheng Enni's parents divorced?
I heard that her mother doesn't care about her, her father has already married her stepmother, how can anyone still send food to Cheng Enni, or send such a good meal!
"Cheng Enni, is this the meal your parents sent you?" Someone just asked, and the attitude of the person who asked the question was very ordinary, and the attitude of excessive surprise also made people uncomfortable.
"It's not." Cheng Enni didn't care, someone asked about it, she shook her head lightly, if Cheng Zhiqiang and Yao Meihua could send her back food, it would really be the sun coming out in the west.
"I'll just say, how can your parents send you food, they haven't sent it before, and now it's even more impossible, it's almost the same to send it to your stepsister." That classmate is also the child of a worker at the passenger station, and he knows a lot, "Then where did you get this meal, can you divide a few mouthfuls with me, are they all classmates......"
"Don't you bother, ask questions, hurry up and eat your own food!" Zhang Jiaojiao sat above Cheng Enni's aisle, listened to a few words, felt a little irritable, and her tone was a little fierce.
Cheng Enni is already pitiful enough, how can these classmates be like this, they keep poking at people's sore spots, annoying or not.
Zhang Jiaojiao's father is the logistics director of the passenger station, and he is the eldest father among the children of the same passenger station workers in their class, although everyone will not scold her, but they dare not offend her.
"Zhang Jiaojiao, do you want to change dishes with me." Although Zhang Jiaojiao's tone was fierce and interrupted Cheng Enni's next words, Cheng Enni didn't mind, she could see that Zhang Jiaojiao was kind enough to help her out.
Probably didn't expect Cheng Enni to suddenly issue such an invitation, Zhang Jiaojiao was stunned, and suddenly showed an awkward look on her face, she brought vegetables from home, and she also bought cold salad with two cents in the morning, which was very rich.
If Cheng Enni said that she would change dishes with Zhang Jiaojiao before, she would definitely get a ridicule, but today Cheng Enni's food is not bad at all, two meats!
"Then, then you try this, I bought it in the morning, it tastes very good." Zhang Jiaojiao was embarrassed to take out the dishes she brought, although her family conditions were better than those of ordinary classmates, but bringing vegetables was her own business, and she got up every morning to make it by herself.
Because there are a lot of dishes bought in the morning, Zhang Jiaojiao uses the lid of the lunch box to put the rice, anyway, the rice in the canteen is a square and large piece, and it will not be scattered.
Cheng Enni put all the meat and vegetables on it to the empty place of Zhang Jiaojiao's lunch box, "Let's eat together, these you bought are made by my cousin, and this lunch box is also sent by my cousin, you can also taste it." ”
The classmates next to him listened with their ears pricked up, and they were very surprised to hear Cheng Enni's words.
"Your cousin?" Zhang Jiaojiao was stunned, and quickly reacted, "Are you saying that it was your aunt who pushed the flatbed cart to sell braised vegetables in the morning, really?" ”
Cheng Enni nodded, didn't understand too much why Zhang Jiaojiao was so excited, and before she could answer, Zhang Jiaojiao asked again, "Is your cousin still setting up a stall tomorrow?" I woke up too late today, and I didn't buy several dishes, Ennie, can you ask your aunt to keep one for me? ”
At the beginning, Zhang Jiaojiao also bought vegetables in the canteen, and her parents were busy with work and didn't have time to cook for her, but the food in the canteen was too unpalatable, and Zhang Jiaojiao could only learn to cook it by herself.
Now I don't have to do it myself, and I can have more time to sleep in the morning, Zhang Jiaojiao is very happy.
"Yes, I'll go back and talk to my aunt in the evening." Cheng Enni nodded.
Hearing that Cheng Enni would go back at night, Zhang Jiaojiao was stunned, and without waiting for her words, Cheng Enni said that she had moved out of the school and lived with her aunt, saving accommodation fees while helping her aunt work to earn some wages.
Of course, there are processing ingredients here, Cheng Enni can't say that I am the boss and my aunt works for me, even if I say this, no one will believe it.
Hearing Cheng Enni's words, Zhang Jiaojiao felt very complicated, at the same age, she was the child of a passenger station worker, Cheng Enni's life was much more difficult than her.
"Why are you looking at me like that, hurry up and eat." Cheng Enni doesn't feel pitiful at all now, she was pitiful in her previous life.
Zhang Jiaojiao started eating, today's food is delicious, but the rice is not good, seeing Cheng Enni eating fragrantly, and then looking at the food on her lunch box, Zhang Jiaojiao can't swallow some food.
"Ennie, can you ask your cousin to cook an extra meal? I'll pay! Just take me a portion, and it's okay to have less food. Zhang Jiaojiao felt that her request was too much, but she really couldn't help it, "Won't it be too troublesome?" ”
Cheng Enni was waiting for such an opportunity, she raised her lips and smiled, "Don't bother, this box of lunch was originally used to sell, but this is a long-term one, one order is a week, you have to pay in advance, one will cost eight cents, or you go home and discuss it." ”
