Chapter 246: The Hands That Peeled Shrimp
Xia Xiaoqin did not have a fever last night, and the doctor flipped through the cases during his ward rounds in the morning and announced that Xia Xiaoqin could be discharged.
Xie Chuan went to the first floor to go through the discharge procedures, and Xia Xiuxue came to pick up Xia Xiaoqin and discharged him.
Walking to the mouth of the alley, Aunt Sun from the commissary greeted Xia Xiaoqin: "Discharged?" I saw your mother coming home with a big bag of vegetables, and I will definitely make something for you at noon! ”
Xia Xiaoqin immediately laughed, her mother still hurts herself!
Xia Xiaoqin went home with anticipation, and when she entered the courtyard, she saw Shen Shu sitting by the pool peeling shrimp.
Xia Xiaoqin's smile froze.
Shen Shu saw that Xia Xiaoqin had been staring at his hands, so he quickly put the half-peeled shrimp back into the basin, wiped his hands and stood up.
"It's hot, isn't it? Mom will give you a bowl of ice powder with syrup. ”
The syrup is freshly boiled today, Xia Xiuxue said that it was very sweet, but Xia Xiaoqin, who was bitter in her heart, couldn't taste a trace of sweetness.
After eating the ice powder, Xia Xiaoqin said to Xie Chuan, "I'll send you away." ”
Xie Chuan bowed his head and said goodbye to Shen Shu and the others.
The sun was hanging high, and Xia Xiaoqin was sweating all over as soon as she took a few steps.
Xie Chuan stopped her at the mouth of the alley: "It's too hot, don't send it, go back quickly." ”
Xia Xiaoqin hung her head and didn't speak.
Xie Chuan rubbed Xia Xiaoqin's head: "Remember to write to me every day." ”
Xia Xiaoqin muttered dissatisfiedly: "I write every day, but it's you, I can count the replies I received on one hand." ”
"I have written, but ......"
But the day before he returned, the camp had been bombed, and all 39 letters that had not had time to be sent were destroyed.
"But it's too little to write, I'll review it, and I'll definitely correct it later!"
Xie Chuan decided not to tell his daughter-in-law the truth, he was afraid that his daughter-in-law would worry.
Children's love is the most grinding time, Xie Chuan wants to pinch the second hand, but he only hates that he can't control time.
Xia Xiaoqin sent Xie Chuan away, and when she returned to the courtyard, she saw that Shen Shu was still peeling shrimp.
Xia Xiaoqin returned to the east wing.
Shen Shu thought that Xia Xiaoqin was unhappy about Xie Chuan's departure, and whispered to Xia Xiuxue: "Your sister has a better relationship with Xiaochuan, if only Xiaochuan could change jobs, the soldier he was a soldier is too dangerous, and your grandmother and I are afraid that one day ......."
"Mom." Xia Xiuxue interrupted Shen Shu.
Shen Shu didn't know why: "I'm not wrong, Xiaochuan came back from being injured all day, and no matter how good his body is, he can't stand such a toss!" ”
"This is Xiaoqin's private matter."
"I care about her, in case Xie Chuan really ......"
"Mom!" Xia Xiuxue interrupted Shen Shu again.
Shen Shu frowned unhappily: "You kid, why do you always interrupt me, you weren't like this before, you used to be much more polite!" ”
"Mom." Shen Shu was called again, this time it was Xia Xiaoqin.
Shen Shu only cared about chatting with Xia Xiuxue in a low voice, and didn't notice that Xia Xiaoqin had already walked behind her.
"Small, small."
Shen Shu stood up with an unnatural expression.
"Xiaofu is hungry, feed him something?"
Shen Shu hurriedly wiped his hands: "There is still millet porridge in the morning, I'll go and serve a bowl, and you feed it to him." ”
Xia Xiuxue said: "Xiaoqin's hand is injured, I'll feed it." ”
Xia Xiaoqin answered: "Last time, you fed Xiaofu to eat rice paste, but you choked Xiaofu and vomited. ”
Shen Shu hurriedly divided the labor: "I'll feed Xiaofu to eat, and you will peel shrimp." Oh yes, be careful when peeling! ”
Xia Xiuxue took Shen Shu's place.
"Brother, I want to eat fried shrimp."
"Okay, it just so happens that the fried shrimp doesn't need to be shelled, I'll fry it now."
Shen Yuqian was pampered by the Shen family in the palm of her hand.
Xia Xiaoqin was put on the tip of Xia Xiuxue's heart.
If the little sister wants to eat fried shrimp, then she must eat fried shrimp!
After Shen Shu fed Xia Xiaofu, the fried shrimp had already been fried.
Shen Shu wanted to ask why she didn't make Qingyu River shrimp, but when she met Xia Xiaoqin's clear and transparent eyes with a hint of sadness, she swallowed the words again.
"Mom, the shrimp are on the cutting board." Xia Xiu Doctrine.
Shen Shu actually breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that the fried shrimp did not need shrimp.
So, a small portion of Qingyu River shrimp that was only enough to spread the bottom of the bowl and a full of fried shrimp were served to the table.
There is no comparison between the whole shrimp and the shelled shrimp at all, looking at the fried shrimp is a large plate, but counting the counts, it is obvious that there are more shrimps.
Shen Yuqian didn't even count how many of them there were, she saw that the fried shrimp was a full plate, and immediately asked Shen Shu: "Why did you make my shrimp into fried shrimp?" I don't like to eat fried shrimp! ”
Xia Xiaoqin looked indifferent and sandwiched a fried shrimp, and said slowly: "I like to eat fried shrimp." ”
"This is the shrimp that my sister-in-law bought for me!"
"Isn't there another plate of shrimp in the clear river? It's all yours. Xia Xiuxue played a round road.
Shen Yuqian glared at Xia Xiuxue in disgust, and blurted out, "Shut up!" It's not your share of outsiders to speak! ”
Xia Xiuxue was stunned, he forgot to take back his smile and froze on his face.
Xia Xiaoqin put down the chopsticks in her hand, picked up the plate of Qingyuhe shrimp, and presented it to Shen Yuqian: "Have you seen each of these shrimps clearly?" ”
Shen Yuqian didn't know what Xia Xiaoqin was going to do, but she was frightened by Xia Xiaoqin's cold expression and nodded stiffly.
"Good."
Xia Xiaoqin poured a whole plate of shrimp onto Shen Yuqian's lap.
"Ahh Scalded!! Xia Xiaoqin, you crazy neurotic! What are you doing! ”
Shen Yuqian screamed and got up from the stool, jumping up and throwing off all the shrimp on her body.
Old Lady Shen, Shen Yuxuan, and Shen Shu all hurried to check whether Shen Yuqian was burned.
Xia Xiuxue and Xia Xiaoqin sat in their places and didn't move.
Xia Xiaofu was lying in the cradle screaming "ahhhhh
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not burned." Old Lady Shen said with palpitations.
Today, in order to celebrate Xia Xiaoqin's discharge from the hospital, there are many dishes to cook, and the plate of Qingyuhe shrimp has been ready for half an hour, and when Xia Xiaoqin picked it up, the bottom of the plate was not warm.
It's weird that it's going to be hot!
Shen Shuqi's face turned red, she pointed at Xia Xiaoqin and scolded, "Apologize to Xiaoqian!" ”
Xia Xiaoqin grabbed Shen Shu's hand, separated her five fingers, pointed to the large and small wounds on it, and said to Shen Yuqian, "Do you see my mother's hand?" Peel the shrimp peeled. ”
Cooked shrimp is easy to peel, the shrimp body and shrimp shell have been separated, as long as you master the skills, even if you peel a pot, it is not tiring.
But raw shrimp is difficult to peel, and the shrimp shell is particularly hard.
Shen Shu had never eaten shrimp when he was in Anxian, let alone made it.
For Shen Shu, peeling shrimp is simply a torture of his fingers.
If you are not careful, your fingers will be pierced by the shrimp head, and the joint between the nail and the flesh will be pierced by the shrimp shell.
However, what Shen Shu is most afraid of is being cut out of the wound by the shrimp shell, because the wound is the most difficult to heal.
The raw shrimp each has water, Shen Shu peels it slowly, and it takes more than half an hour to peel a plate of shrimp.
As a result, the wound that was just wanted to heal last night was just scabbed and blistered the next day.
New injuries are stacked on top of each other, and the more they are stacked, the more dazzling they become, but only Xia Xiaoqin noticed!
Mrs. Shen felt sorry for her daughter, turned her head and asked Xia Xiuxue, "Don't you know how to help your mother?" ”
Shen Yuqian squinted at Xia Xiuxue, gritted her teeth and said, "He is not born to my sister-in-law!" ”
Shen Shu hurriedly explained for Xia Xiuxue: "Xiuxue helps me cut vegetables and cook the pot every time. ”
Mrs. Shen taught Shen Shu again: "You just can't summon people, peeling shrimp is such a difficult job, he should do it!" ”
Xia Xiaoqin was stunned by Old Lady Shen's words.
Xia Xiaoqin was very suspicious, was this unreasonable old lady in front of her really the kind grandmother in her mother's mouth?
Isn't she the respected Teacher Shen?
Why do you say such hurtful words!
