Chapter 2 Rubbing Rice
Ruan Yu followed Ruan Yue to go out to buy things at night, and when she went back, she passed by the park opposite the community. Ruan Yue thought that she was not in a hurry to go home anyway, so she took Ruan Yu to the park for a walk.
There were a bunch of small vendors gathered at the entrance of the park, some selling cotton candy, Ruan Yue knew that Ruan Yu liked to eat this, so she bought one for her and ate it while walking.
Ruan Yu was afraid that the marshmallows would melt, so she lowered her head and struggled to eat all the way, making her hands and faces covered with sugar stains, sticky and uncomfortable, and she didn't have the strength to care. After walking for a while, she found that Ruan Yue was not leaving, she finally raised her head and saw Aunt Chen and Meng Jiayue.
They came in the opposite direction to them, they were walking towards the exit of the park, and they met, they should have finished shopping and wanted to go back.
After Ruan Yue and Aunt Chen said hello, she pulled Ruan Yu over and said, "Don't patronize and eat, no one will rob you." ”
"Auntie is so ......" Ruan Yu originally thought that she should also greet Meng Jiayue, but her mouth opened open, and she didn't know what to call Meng Jiayue, so this hesitation lost the opportunity to say hello, and Aunt Chen had already spoken to Ruan Yue.
Ruan Yu closed her mouth, and she didn't know whether to continue eating marshmallows or listening to them, but fortunately, Aunt Chen didn't say much to Ruan Yue before saying goodbye to each other.
Ruan Yue tugged Ruan Yu and said, "Goodbye, Aunt Chen." ”
"Goodbye, Aunt Chen."
Ruan Yu repeated dryly, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Meng Jiayue looking at her, so she was immediately embarrassed and cautiously hid behind Ruan Yue.
She didn't look at Meng Jiayue again, she didn't know how he reacted, but she felt very embarrassed when she thought that she was stunned and didn't know that he was talking to her elders and was seen by him.
When the people left, Ruan Yue turned her head and saw Ruan Yu with her head down and didn't know what she was thinking, but Ruan Yu liked to be in a daze from time to time, and she also knew that it was not strange to see too much of this situation, so she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Ruan Yu's eyes, and said, "What are you in a daze?" ”
Seeing that she came to her senses, she said, "Eat the marshmallows, they are all yellow." Eat grilled sausages? I'm going to buy it. ”
"Eat." Ruan Yu nodded hurriedly.
The stall selling barbecued sausages was not far from them, and Ruan Yue asked her to wait here and buy it herself.
Ruan Yu saw her over, and looked down to see that the fluffy marshmallow in her hand had become soft and collapsed, and the place where she had eaten had begun to melt, solidifying into long strips of yellowing.
Ruan Yue came back after buying it and handed her a roast sausage, and said with a disgusted face: "The mouth is full of sugar, it's dirty, remember to take a bath when you go back." ”
"I wash it every day." Ruan Yu was pouting and blowing to cool down the grilled sausage, and replied when he heard the words.
"What? You still don't want to take a shower when you sweat in the summer? Ruan Yue patted her on the back and pushed her forward.
She took a bite of the grilled sausage while walking, she liked to eat this, Ruan Yu used to live here during the summer vacation, sometimes she didn't want to go out at night, so she asked Ruan Yu to run errands to buy it, and the reward was to give Ruan Yu an extra grilled sausage.
Ruan Yu shook his head and said, "No! But I can't blow the air conditioner every day, and I don't sweat much. Ruan Yue, you go out to tutor every day, it's so hot outside, I feel like you're dark. ”
"Don't say anything if you know I'm black." Ruan Yue pinched her face, frowned and complained: "Tutoring every day, I can't even sleep lazy, the temperature is thirty or forty degrees, I want to use our mother's sunscreen to apply it, but she doesn't agree, and says what sunscreen my child uses." Please, I'm already dark, and I'm still exposed to the sun every day, do you want people to live? ”
"What is sunscreen?" Ruan Yu asked.
"It's to prevent tanning from the sun, you don't need it, you'll know later."
"Oh."
Ruan Yu threw the skewers of the grilled sausage into the trash, and his eyes swept inadvertently, just in time to see the small bridge hidden by the weeping willows by the river, the round arch structure, which was not very big, but Ruan Yu liked the classical bridge the most, and he couldn't wait to run over as soon as he saw it.
"Where?" Ruan Yue asked her loudly.
"There's a bridge." When Ruan Yu answered her, she had already run to the top of the bridge, and leaned out half of her body to see her reflection in the water.
When Ruan Yue saw it, he shouted, "Don't fall down." ”
Ruan Yu immediately retracted his body, turned back and forth, and ran back and forth on the bridge a few times, having a lot of fun.
In the middle of August, Ruan Yue's cram school ended, and on Sunday, my aunt came back from City B to see her grandparents, and Ruan Yue knew about it and clamored to go to her grandfather's house. Ruan's mother planned to take Ruan Yu and Ruan Kangming together, stay at her grandfather's house for lunch, and come back in the evening, but before leaving, Ruan Yu had an upset stomach and was unwilling to move on the bed.
Ruan Yu has always had a stomach ache, she was born with a cold stomach, she can't eat cold things, especially pears, when she was a child, she had diarrhea when she ate it, although she is better now, but she still has a stomach ache from time to time, sometimes she can get better by lying down for a while, and if it is serious, she has to take medicine.
Ruan's mother gave her the money for lunch and said, "If your father doesn't come back in the morning, he can buy his own food and cook by himself." ”
"Okay."
"Ruan Yu, you really don't go?" Ruan Yue asked her unrelentingly.
Ruan Yu shook his head: "Don't go." ”
"Let's go." Ruan's mother pushed Ruan Yue out, pulled Ruan Kangming with one hand, and said, "If you don't leave, it'll be noon." ”
There was a sound of the door closing outside, and the room fell silent instantly, Ruan Yu turned over on the bed, looking at the star stickers posted by Ruan Yue on the roof in a daze.
At eleven o'clock, Ruan's father called back, Ruan Yu got up from the bed, felt that his stomach was a little better than before, and straightened his hunched waist.
Ruan's father said on the phone: "Yu, I'm having dinner with your uncle and a few friends here!" It's the Tan family restaurant here on Huanshan Road, you come out and take the bus to eat here. ”
"I don't want to go." The temperature outside was high, the sun was uncomfortable, and besides, he had to run a long way to go out to eat, Ruan Yu was too lazy to move, and he really didn't want to suffer the crime.
"What are you going to eat if you don't come here to eat? Your mom isn't home again. ”
"I'll buy food to eat!"
"Oops! It's not far, hurry up. ”
"I don't want to go."
"Okay, okay, you can buy some food at home, do you want me to bring it to you?"
"No, you don't."
"Okay, I'll hang up."
Ruan Yu put down the phone, and suddenly regretted that she didn't let her dad bring the food back, so that she didn't have to go out and run again, but she thought about the noodles that her dad brought back from the restaurant before, which could only be filled with a basin, and they were all burnt, without a bit of chewiness, and the chopsticks were rotten as soon as they were clamped.
Ruan Yu just got to the bed when she heard the doorbell outside, and the phone rang again, she hurriedly went out and didn't know whether to answer the phone or open the door first, so she hesitated and ran to answer the phone first.
It was her father who called, and said on the phone: "I just called you Aunt Chen and asked you to come to her house for dinner." ”
"Oh, I know, Aunt Chen is already here, I'll open the door."
Ruan Yu hurriedly hung up the phone and ran to the entrance to open the door, and it was really Aunt Chen standing outside the door.
As soon as the door opened, she smiled and said, "Your father called me and said that there was no one at home, and you didn't go when he asked you to eat. ”
"I, I'll change my clothes." Ruan Yu was still wearing pajamas, and her hair was not combed, but her hair was short, and at most she looked frizzy.
"Auntie's family is not an outsider, what's wrong with the little girl wearing pajamas? Don't go out, let's go! Saying that, Aunt Chen pulled Ruan Yu to her house, and there was no chance to refuse, so Ruan Yu had to change her shoes and go with her.
Aunt Chen's Ruan Yu came for the first time, although it was on the same floor, but it was different from the layout of her house, her dining table was connected to the kitchen, and Aunt Chen's dining table was placed on the left hand side of the door, separated by a Bogu frame, becoming an independent space, and then their living room was also connected to the balcony, connected into a whole, which looked very spacious and brighter, as for the other odds and balances, they were also different.
Suddenly arrived in an unfamiliar environment, Ruan Yu was still very uncomfortable, pinching her fingers and following behind Aunt Chen step by step, for fear of doing something wrong, but fortunately, Aunt Chen has always been very enthusiastic, which also made her not so afraid.
Meng Jiayue and Uncle Meng were both sitting at the dining table, and the meal had just been eaten, but they didn't move their chopsticks in order to wait for Ruan Yu. On the table, there is a rice cooker, which is steaming and steaming, and the four dishes of rice are braised prawns, hot and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried meat with onions, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stewed corn rib soup.
Aunt Chen took a bowl and served rice to Ruan Yu, picked up the big shrimp and put it in her bowl, and said vigorously: "How about tasting Auntie's craftsmanship, you're welcome, you must be full, otherwise I will come to Auntie's house to eat a meal and go back on an empty stomach, and I won't have the face to see anyone when I say it." ”
"Uh-huh." Ruan Yu was holding a full bowl of rice, and she didn't know what to say to her, so she could only nod vigorously.
Her bowl is full of shrimp, it's not good to eat anything else, she must finish it first. But Ruan Yu has never eaten shrimp, but she has seen people eat it on TV, pinching her head and removing her tail, it looks very troublesome, and she is not at her own home, she is embarrassed to get started directly, so she can only clumsily use chopsticks to pick out the shrimp meat with her mouth, and it is very difficult to eat a bite.
She couldn't tell the taste, so she felt that the meat was not bad, very elastic, but the taste of the rice seemed light, and she could only eat a bite after peeling it for half a day, which was not fun at all. Ruan Yu finally finished eating the shrimp, looked up and saw that the others didn't pay attention to her, stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a little fried meat with onions in front of her, and she didn't dare to clip more, it was enough to eat a bite.
Aunt Chen's fried onion meat is much better than her mother's, the fried onion is tender and has a hint of sweetness, and it tastes better than the meat in the same dish.
Ruan Yu ate a bowl of rice with fried meat with onions, and didn't dare to sandwich anything else, but Aunt Chen saw that she just ate fried meat with onions and sandwiched something else for her.
"That's all you eat? I'm serving you a bowl. Aunt Chen saw that Ruan Yu had no intention of serving rice again, so she picked up her bowl and got up to serve rice again.
"No, I'm full." Ruan Yu hurriedly stopped, Aunt Chen's bowl was quite small, and she was actually seven minutes full for a bowl of rice, if she was in her own house, she would definitely have to eat before stopping, but in other people's houses, Ruan Yu didn't dare to eat more anyway, for fear of being said.
Aunt Chen asked worriedly, "Are you really full?" ”
"Really." Ruan Yu nodded hurriedly.
Aunt Chen still wanted to keep her for a while, but since she had eaten well, she couldn't ask someone to sit here and watch them eat, and just wanted to take Ruan Yu to turn on the TV to watch, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Meng Jiayue who had also eaten and was wiping her mouth with a napkin.
Aunt Chen immediately said to Meng Jiayue: "Jiayue, you take Xiaoyu to your house to play on the computer." ”
Ruan Yu originally wanted to propose to go home, but when she heard this, she immediately looked at Meng Jiayue, feeling a little nervous, afraid that he would be unhappy, but at the same time she was a little expectant, she touched the school computer when she was in computer class, although there are also in this family, but they are usually occupied by Ruan Yue or Ruan Kangming, plus her mother is strict, basically they are not allowed to touch the computer, so they really haven't played a few times.
"Okay." Meng Jiayue stood up as he spoke, beckoned to Ruan Yu, and said, "Come here." ”
This is like beckoning a bird, Ruan Yu didn't feel anything wrong, she was now full of computers, so as soon as she heard Meng Jiayue call her, she immediately passed.
