Old Man Fang thought it was strange when he saw that Xi Yixiao hadn't been to Fang's family for several Sundays, and when he asked, he learned that he had gone home on Sunday to enjoy the big meal made by the little sister of the Xi family.

Stinky boy with no conscience. Old Man Fang scolded angrily in his heart. So, in the early morning of a Sunday, Mr. Fang and his wife came to Xi's house for dinner openly in Xi Yixiao's car. Of course, in the name of beauty, I came to see my granddaughter.

This Sunday, Xi Yizheng is preparing to cook a fresh lake feast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine series that he just learned the day before. When she came home after jogging around the community, she came home with a large basket of aquatic products that had just been picked out of the Xuanbang Freshwater Lake and fresh vegetables freshly picked from the vegetable field

My grandparents and eldest brother also arrived. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the wall clock on the wall, hey, it's only half past eight, so early? She wondered.

"Girl, what kind of expression do you have? Could it be that grandpa, I won't be able to come and see you? "Although Old Man Fang is ashamed, he has also founded the Fang Clan for decades, and he is already a human spirit among human spirits, how can this aura not be suppressed?

"Zheng, don't you welcome us?" Old Lady Fang pretended to be pitiful and said. She is not good at cooking, when she was a child, her family was wealthy, and she had a maid to serve her, after marrying Old Man Fang, although the conditions were not as good as her mother's family, but it was not bad, at least cleaning and kitchen matters

You can afford to hire a part-time worker. Therefore, she has never cooked, and she has not even grown in cooking skills with Xi's mother.

"How so!" Xi Yizheng couldn't cry or laugh. "Grandparents, you sit down first, and I'll pour you a cup of tea." Xi Yizheng carried the dishes he was carrying into the kitchen, made a cup of Longjing for his grandfather and eldest brother, and brewed a pot of jasmine tea for his grandmother

Serve them to them in turn. Seeing that they came early, I don't know if they have had breakfast.

"Grandpa, grandma, and eldest brother, have you eaten breakfast?" Seeing that the three of them nodded, she went into the kitchen to make breakfast. The breakfast of the Xi family on the weekend was delayed by more than an hour. Xi's parents got up early in the morning to go to the park to exercise. Xi Yidi has to sleep until he wakes up naturally. Now nature is still asleep. As a result, breakfast on weekends is basically made by Xi Yizheng.

She pulled out the Cantonese dim sum she had practiced when she learned to cook Cantonese food last month: shrimp dumplings, crab roe soup dumplings, barbecued pork buns, plain siu mai, meat and vegetarian dishes, and put them on the steamer to steam. Looking at the time, I estimated that my parents were coming back, so I started to put the assorted seafood porridge, which was the favorite of Xi's parents and mothers who turned around before going out, into a small soup bowl. The sesame black soy milk that I and my brother like to drink the most has been ground and put into a thermos pot.

"Well, it smells so good! Girl, what are you cooking deliciously? Old Man Fang couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, it's seafood porridge, do you want some from your grandparents?" Xi Yizheng asked funny when he saw Old Man Fang shrugging his nose and salivating.

"Okay, okay, have a bowl. I ate breakfast early, and I was a little hungry. Before Mrs. Fang could speak, the old man replied again and again.

"Do you want to try it too, big brother? It's very good. Xi Yizheng asked Xi Yizheng while entering the kitchen to serve porridge. During this time, she has fully understood her eldest brother's pickiness about eating. If it is not to his taste, he would rather drink white porridge and eat white rice.

Xi Yixiao nodded. He had already smelled the fresh smell wafting from the kitchen. What's more, his little sister has improved a lot during this time, if it weren't for the fact that the school was far away from home, he would want to go home every day to eat her cooking. However, if Xi's parents, Xi's mother and Xi's little brother heard this, they would have to jump up and refute it, and they usually didn't let their daughter (little sister) cook. They ate the same number of meals as Xi Yixiao. Well, except for some Saturday nights, the Xi family will practice the dishes she learned during the day. The rest of the time, where are they willing to let her cook every day.

The three of them sat down at the table and drank the mellow seafood porridge. This porridge was made by Xi Yizheng himself. According to the teacher of the training class, this kind of seafood porridge is a specialty of Hong Kong and Taiwan. Assorted seafood porridge, as the name suggests, is made from a variety of fresh seafood and rice. She simmers the sea cucumber, baby abalone and fragrant rice for half an hour, then adds crab legs, prawns, and wild shiitake mushrooms, then boils them over low heat for 15 minutes, and finally adds salt to taste, sprinkle with eggs, fry them into shreds, and green onions. A pot of fragrant and delicious seafood porridge is complete.

"Hey, Mom and Dad, why are you here?" At the moment when the three of them were drinking porridge with satisfaction, Xi's father and Xi's mother came back from exercise, and Xi's mother blurted out in surprise when she saw her parents who had not been here for many years. Usually their family went to Fang's house. Didn't the sun come out of the west today? Xi's mother subconsciously looked out the window. made Xi's father beside him laugh.

"Hmm, can't we come?" Old Man Fang almost didn't blow his beard and glare.

"Hehe, of course not. It's just weird! When Xi's mother saw that the old man was unhappy, she immediately changed the topic: "Wow, why is it so fragrant?" She approached everyone and saw the assorted seafood porridge in their bowls, her eyes lit up, "Zheng, leave a bowl for my mother, I'll wash my face first." Don't let your dad snatch it up. Before he could finish speaking, the man was gone.

Dad Xi shook his head helplessly and went to wash up.

Xi Yizheng helped them serve porridge. Seeing that the little brother hadn't gotten up yet, he poured himself a cup of sesame black soy milk from the thermos pot. Serve out steamed snacks of all colors, 5 pieces of each flavor. I left 2 of each for the little brother.

As a result, several people who said they had eaten breakfast swallowed several more soup packets. Especially the old man Fang, after eating, he still can't get enough, he has a soft spot for the crab roe soup dumplings made by Xi Yizheng, and he is shouting to pack them home. Xi Yizheng was speechless. I don't have much stock at home.

But in the end, I promised my grandfather to do more next time and sent him over.

When Xi Yidi woke up, he saw his grandparents sitting in his living room drinking tea and chatting, and he was stunned on the spot. was slapped by the old man and washed up.

Xi Yizheng finished breakfast and began to work in the kitchen.

"Need help?" Xi Yixiao leaned against the kitchen door, watching Xi Yizheng put on a powder blue floral cotton apron she sewed herself, and began to prepare the ingredients for lunch, and couldn't help but ask.

"No need, big brother. You accompany your grandfather and them. I can handle it myself. Xi Yizheng politely rejected his kindness. She didn't think Xi Yixiao would do this kind of work.

Xi Yixiao touched his nose and smiled. He just saw that she was busy alone, and subconsciously blurted out.

"Hey, big brother, what are you doing here? Come on, let's play the next game, I haven't played against you for a long time. Xi Yidi saw Xi Yixiao standing at the door of the kitchen and pulled him to play chess.

So, on Sunday morning, Xi Yizheng prepared a fresh meal in the kitchen. Old Man Fang and Dad Xi were chatting and drinking tea in the living room. Xi's father was deeply puzzled: When did his Longjing tea become so fragrant? How come I haven't drunk it so wonderfully before? And Xi's mother accompanied Mrs. Fang downstairs to the park for a walk. The Xi brothers played in the study.

It wasn't until 12 o'clock that the kitchen was filled with the smell of food, and everyone spontaneously moved to the dining room, sat around the table, and watched Xi Yizheng serve the dishes on plates, almost with their shining eyes and salivating expressions. When all the dishes were served on the table, Xi Yizheng breathed a sigh of relief, it was really tiring for a person to prepare a fresh meal! But looking at their rich expressions, it seems to be worth it!

Six freshwater lake feasts: steamed hairy crab with garlic, pine nut cinnamon fish, salt and pepper shrimp, roasted bamboo shoots Anggong, crispy fried small white strips, small soft-shelled turtle in thick soup, with four fresh vegetables: vegetarian fried lotus root, garlic reed, spinach in soup, and cold salad malantou. They are all specialties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In fact, what she learned yesterday was only a few freshwater fish recipes, and the other dishes were either made by her before or just made with reference to the recipe. However, looking at the bright colors and smells of these dishes, the taste should not be too bad.

Sure enough, everyone ate deliciously, and even the old man Fang, who could say that he had tasted all the food, gave a thumbs up and was amazed. Not to mention others.

After the meal, Xi Yizheng presented everyone with a large fruit platter produced by Xuanbang, and everyone lazily sat on the sofa and soft couch to eat and chat.

"Girl, you're amazing! Listen to your mother that you've only been studying for more than a month, right? It's up to the level of a five-star chef. Old Man Fang took a sip of tea and spoke leisurely.

"Grandpa, you praise me too much. I'm just getting started. Xi Yizheng smiled embarrassedly. It should be that the ingredients are too good, so it covers up the flaws in her craftsmanship. If you rate her dish out of 10, her craftsmanship will account for a maximum of 4 points. She thought modestly.

Old Man Fang shook his head and disagreed. "I've eaten a lot of big meals, and many of the delicious foods made in those big hotels rely on monosodium glutamate, chicken essence or something. It's like what you do, it's clean and fresh, and you won't feel greasy after eating. Okay. ”

"Yes, Zheng, grandma also thinks your food is delicious. Although my grandmother doesn't know how to cook, she has eaten a lot of dishes, and when I tasted what you made today, the taste was amazing! Old Lady Fang's soft voice spit out such exaggerated words, causing everyone to laugh.

"That's it, let's either don't do it, it's a chef's style!" Xi's mother concluded. It caused everyone to laugh happily.

Xi Yizheng pursed his lips and smiled and listened to their praise from time to time, and his heart was warm. I haven't had such a warm and comfortable moment for a long time, and even the unbearable memories of my previous life have gradually faded, and gradually, I seem to feel that I originally belong to the current world, and there is no so-called rebirth. Everything that happened in the previous life and the previous life seemed to be just a dream of oneself. Except for the bracelet embedded in the depths of the soul, the rest have disappeared with the awakening of the dream.

In the afternoon, Xi Yixiao sent the old man and the two elders home to rest, and before leaving, Xi Yizheng took out two baskets of fruits, saying that they were bought from a farmer in the morning, fresh and healthy. A basket was taken back to school for Xi Yixiao to eat, a basket was given to his grandparents, and a box of Xuanbang Longjing was secretly stuffed for his grandfather. And solemnly assured Mr. Fang that he would make a lot of delicious Cantonese dim sum and send them when he had time.

Xi Yidi packed his luggage, and in the evening he was going to report to the special operations team again, and next week will be a special training period. Xi Yizheng spent the afternoon preparing food for him: homemade grilled dried fish, glutinous rice chicken, water chestnut cake, and all kinds of seasonal fruits. Xi Yidi hugged the bag on Xi Yizheng's cheek, "chirp", and went out happily.

Xi's mother looked at her daughter who had been busy all day with a complicated expression and sighed: My daughter has grown up, is sensible, and how considerate she is! It seems that since her daughter was discharged from the hospital, she has been worried about many things at home. Even her youngest son went to special training, she was preparing to eat. In fact, because of the intensity of special training, the special training group not only does not lack food, but also has a more comprehensive nutritional match than at home. But looking at the various snacks and fruits prepared for him by her little daughter, and the way her little son liked it, she felt slightly sour in her heart. On the one hand, it is the negligence of his son, and on the other hand, he feels guilty about his daughter. What she didn't think about as a mother, her daughter thought of it and did it. How fortunate it is to have such a treasure at home! Xi's father patted her on the shoulder, and he also had an expression that he had a daughter in the family. The couple looked at each other and smiled.

"Zheng, come, this is your living allowance. Dad knows that you are registering for classes and buying groceries during this time, and it must not be enough for pocket money. Come, take it. Xi Yizheng just sent the little brother away, and when he turned around, he saw Xi's father handing him a bank card.

"In the future, my father will give you money in the card every month as your living expenses and daily allowances for the family. If it's not enough, tell your dad. "Dad Xi knows that the food she buys every month is not cheap, but the family eats happily and she is happy to cook, so it doesn't matter. The price of this dish is still affordable. But Xi Yizheng never took the initiative to ask them for money, presumably because she had moved her savings over the years. Therefore, Xi's father went to the bank to get a card for Xi Yizheng. saved 10,000 yuan for her at one time.

In the future, he plans to give her 1,000 yuan a month as a household subsidy. Xi Yizheng pursed his lips and accepted it.

The Xi family has always allowed their children to develop on their own, and they will not interfere much unless their children choose crooked ways. So they became independent early. The fourth grade of primary school is the dividing line for the independence of the Xi family's children. The Xi couple gave each of the three siblings 500 yuan a month, and their own daily expenses had to be paid from these expenses. If you spend 500 yuan on a coat, then sorry, you won't have to buy other personal items such as clothes, books, snacks and so on this month. Of course, if it is spent for the family, the parents will reimburse you. It is precisely because of this that the predecessor Xi Yizheng was able to save so much pocket money.

Now, Xi Yixiao, who is already in his freshman year, has completely become independent from his family, because the training he received at Fang's at the beginning of his freshman year is actually an internship in disguise, with an internship salary of 2,000 yuan per month. And he has excellent grades, and it is not a problem to get a special scholarship at all. Xi Yidi was selected by the special operations team and began special training, in addition to the one-time subsidy of 50,000 yuan given at the beginning, there is also a nutrition allowance of 800 yuan per month. Therefore, they did not ask the family for the money again. Even with it, the Xi couple forgot whether the little daughter, who had always been well-behaved and never took the initiative to ask for money, would now be unbearable. Xi's father didn't talk to his colleague about his daughter's grocery shopping and cooking a big meal until a few days ago, and his colleague said, "Seafood is so expensive!" "Woke up. Only then did I remember that my daughter had not been given her monthly living expenses after she was discharged from the hospital, and I felt even more guilty. So I immediately went to the bank to get a card and deposited money for her.

Xi Yizheng didn't care. She has a bracelet in her hand, and she rarely has a place to use money. But at present, I still have to pretend, maybe one day, I will explain the matter of the bracelet to my family, and even take them in to enjoy it, but it is not a chance yet.
