44 kitchen knives

Zhao Lele peeled and cored the peaches that had been prepared long ago, cut them in half and steamed them in a pot.

The peaches were a few she picked in the backyard, which were saplings that Qian's father spent money on a few years ago, and was scolded by Qian's mother back then. Where there is no peach tree, you have to spend money to buy it, and when it turns out that it is a beautiful peach, the mother of money does not scold people every year.

Zhao Lele picked a total of five peaches, cut them in half with just ten petals, and took a perfect meaning.

The peaches are steamed and drizzled with sugar juice, and finally a wolfberry is placed on top of each petal. The heart-shaped peaches are arranged on a plate, and they still look very good.

Father Qian, the birthday star, looked at Peaches and asked, "What's the name of your dish?" It looks weirdly good. ”

"Grandpa, classmates in the city said that this dish is called heart-to-heart." Zhao Lele told his family what he heard in the city.

The family had never been to the city, and even the little things in the school were listened to with relish.

Mother Qian tasted a peach: "Lele, you teach your aunt to make this dish, and you can also let relatives and friends taste it fresh during the New Year." ”

"Mom, how can there be peaches in the winter of the New Year." Wang Lan reminded.

"Alas, I'm so confused, I even forgot about it, or the old man is blessed, my birthday is in the winter."

"Grandma, when I go to work to make money, I'll buy you a birthday cake for people in the city to eat for their birthdays, that's better." Zhao Lele coaxed Qian's mother to happily make a promise for the future.

"Okay, I'll just wait for your cake." Mother Qian grinned.

Father Qian didn't say anything with a straight face, but his ears moved.

"Grandpa, I'll buy it for you too." Zhao Lele was very clever and made up a sentence in time.

Zhao Lele only knew that she was going back to Zhao's house the next day, so she frowned and agreed.

"Don't worry, your grandmother doesn't dare to do anything too much, it's not now that she wants to force marriage, she still expects you to be filial in the future." Mother Qian guessed that Mother Zhao also wanted to bring the relationship between the two parties closer.

"My grandmother always said that her daughter was a money-loser, and the daughters she gave birth to were given away, and she had a grandson who was filial!"

"It's her business that she has grandchildren, and you still have to be filial to the old man." Mother Qian said.

"Why?" Zhao Lele was very dissatisfied.

"You have to have a good reputation wherever you go in the future, whether it's work or marriage, if people know that you are not even filial to your own grandmother, and others are still willing to be friends with you?"

But she ...... "Zhao Lele wanted to accuse Zhao's mother of being unfair and wrong."

"Outsiders don't care about these rights and wrongs, and when they see that you are not filial to the elderly, they will only accuse you of being wrong." Mother Qian began to talk to everyone.

Zhao Lele didn't want to listen to Qian's mother's nagging anymore, so he nodded hurriedly and promised that he would be filial to Zhao's mother in the future.

Zhao Lele returned to Zhao's house with the gifts prepared by Qian's mother, and when the people in the village saw her come back, they all teased her.

"Lele, why do you want to live at your grandmother's house?" There was always an unfriendly voice in the middle of the crowd.

Zhao Lele couldn't hear these noises, she nodded to everyone and smiled as she walked through the crowd.

"Yo, just become a person in the city and set a tune, what's the big deal, meet the black-hearted ghosts of the Zhao family, see if you can live a good life for a few days."

"Be quiet, don't be heard by her."

"What are you afraid of, what can you do to me when you hear it, my surname is Zhao, a generation higher than her."

"Then you still talk about her."

"Why can't you say it, I can't get used to that family, it's too shameless."

Zhao Lele put the unfriendly voice behind him, and as soon as he entered the house, he was grabbed by Zhao's mother: "Li Fang came over early in the morning to wait for you, why did you come." ”

Zhao Lele endured nausea and nausea: "I still have to work." ”

"Yo, isn't your grandmother going to say that she will raise you and let you work."

"Whoever has such a big child doesn't work, I'm not a cripple." Zhao Lele doesn't like people to criticize Qian's mother, especially the criticism of the Zhao family.

"Okay, I can't talk about the Qian family, you just help the Qian family speak, why don't you change your surname to Qian?" Mother Zhao made an unceremonious accusation.

Zhao Lele had nowhere to hide, and Li Fang showed an embarrassed smirk.

Mother Zhao didn't continue to scold him when she saw him, but forced her to entertain Li Fang well.

"No need to entertain, grandma, my mom asked me to come over and help with the work." Li Fang waved his hand in a panic and refused.

"You don't have to work, you just accompany Lele." How could Zhao's mother let Li Fang work, she also counted on the Li family to help her eldest grandson arrange a job.

Mother Li also promised last time that it was the relative of the Li family who had a big business in the city, and it was the time to recruit a large number of people, so she could get Xiaojun over to be a small steward.

Zhao's mother was reluctant to let her eldest grandson go to the south to work and endure hardships, but she was happy to find a high-paying and easy job in the city. I can go home once a week, and I can rush home in time when there is a storm.

Zhao Lele rolled his white face, unwilling to see Zhao's mother flattering Li Fang.

After dinner in the evening, Li Fang wanted to go home, but Zhao's mother enthusiastically left him behind, saying that it was not safe to go home after dark, and it would not be too late to leave tomorrow.

Zhao Lele frowned and objected, and was suppressed by Zhao's mother before he finished speaking. Li Fang also stayed cheekily, and he could see that Zhao Lele didn't like her much, so he tried hard to take the parental route.

Zhao Lele kept an eye on it before going to bed, and locked the door before turning off the lights.

In the middle of the night, she was halfway through her sleep and realized that something was wrong, the window was supposed to be closed, but now it was open.

She was so frightened that she got out of bed and closed the window, and just turned around to find that the door had been opened, and a dark figure flashed in.

"Who?" Zhao Lele screamed loudly, hoping to wake up the others.

"It's me, don't scream." The black shadow was obviously also frightened by Zhao Lele, and paused for a few seconds before answering.

"Li Fang, how did you get in?" Zhao Lele was sure that she was close to the door.

"The door is open, I'll come in and have a look." Li Fang replied with flickering words.

"Look, you get out quickly." Zhao Lele was glad that he slept with his clothes together before going to bed.

Li Fang did not leave obediently, but stepped forward and hugged her: "Lele, I like you." ”

Zhao Lele was strangled breathlessly, but she was still so scared that she struggled hard, punching and kicking with all her strength.

Li Fang hugged her and didn't let go, and kept chanting words in his mouth, until he was accidentally kicked to the lower half of his body before letting go in pain.

Zhao Lele took the opportunity to run out, and waited until he ran to the courtyard outside before looking at the house in fear. She couldn't believe that no one heard her scream.

The night was terrifyingly quiet, and the only sound of insects and dogs in the silent mountain village was the sound of insects and dogs. Ten minutes passed, and none of the Zhao family got up to check.

Zhao Lele didn't dare to stay and sleep, but she was also scared in the middle of the night, so she rushed into the kitchen and walked out with a kitchen knife.

Li Fang relieved himself and wanted to clean up Zhao Lele, when he saw the knife in her hand, he immediately waved his hand back in fright.

"Don't come here, I'm ......"

"Stay away from me, and if you dare to come near me again, I'll let you taste the knife in my hand." Zhao Lele brandished a kitchen knife and threatened.

"I won't go over, don't worry, you put down the knife first, and have something to say."

"I have nothing to say to you, you hurry back to sleep." Under Zhao Lele's force suppression, Li Fang was obedient like a well-behaved child.
