Chapter 188: Poor Niu Niu

"In that case, why not accept my kindness. She's good to you, and I'm going to be good to her!" Kou Xi stepped forward and took Huo An's arm: "Could it be .....?"

She was afraid that her children would get used to eating candy and would have to spend money to buy it in the future. Huo An sighed: "The salary of the high battalion commander is not low, but he still has to support his son and mother." Mrs. Gao is not in good health and takes medicine all year round, and the child is so young that he has to study. What Mrs. Gao thinks is that she will always marry a daughter-in-law in the future. I don't have a family background and no bride price to bring this son, I'm afraid he won't find a good one!"

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!

Kou Xi nodded: "I know, I will pay more attention in the future!" She leaned on Huo An's body: "It's still like a dream now, I think it's so unreal!"

"Life is a dream!" Huo An rarely said a few words of convulsion, Kou Xi raised his face and looked at Huo An's face that was not handsome but felt resolute: "I really want to be with you for the rest of my life!"

"We would have been together for the rest of our lives!" Huo An said as a matter of course.

"I'm going to help my eldest lady cook!" Kou Xi said with a smile as if he had been poked in the sore spot, gently pushing Huo An away.

"You help me tidy up my things!" There was nothing in the house, and only two people could sleep on a small kang in one bunk. There was a board bed underneath, and against the wall was a cabinet with double doors. There were two chairs under the windowsill on the ground, and there was nothing else.

This yard is quite large, and the vegetable garden behind the house is a vegetable field that the soldiers helped to expand after Mrs. Gao came. The surrounding mud walls were also built by everyone! The vegetables in the front and back vegetable gardens were also planted by everyone, and the battalion commander Gao would water them when he had time to come back, so as not to let the old lady do farm work as much as possible.

It's a two-room room that's not too big, and the one on the east side is a bit bigger. The layout is similar to that of the hometown, as soon as you enter, there is a square kitchen, and the pot is connected to the ondol. In the summer, the kang is too hot, and there is a large board bed underneath. Next to it, there is a black-and-white TV set on an old-fashioned cabinet and a radio next to it. The walls of the room are all pasted with newspaper, and the whole room looks dark when the weather is cloudy. There is a small room next to the kitchen, and there are a lot of miscellaneous items piled up in it.

Mrs. Gao was cooking in the kitchen at this time, and Kou Xi washed her hands at the pressurized water well and walked in. Seeing that she was already stewing beans in the pot, she raised her head and smiled when she heard the footsteps: "I make bud rice flour cakes, stewed beans." Do you think it's okay?"

Kou Xi nodded: "It couldn't be better, I've been thinking about the taste of beans on the train for the past two days." ”

She rolled up her sleeves and smiled: "Auntie, I'll do it." ”

"No, no!" Gao Da Niang blocked the pot with her body: "I'm going to finish it, don't touch your hands!"

Kou Xi smiled: "You see you always say that I am not polite, you still talk to me!"

She pointed outside: "You can just watch the children, I cook every day at home, I have no problem with these jobs!"

"Are you still working?" Gao Da Niang looked at Kou Xi in disbelief: "You are still working with thin skin and tender meat?"

"It's all rural kids, why don't you do it. Kou Xi said with a smile: "I live with my in-laws, I can do it without working!"

Aunt Gao smiled and nodded: "You kid can do it!" She gave way to Kou Xi: "I'll see what you do!"

Kou Xi took out a piece of bud rice noodles from the aluminum basin and tossed back and forth twice with his left and right hands, turning the bud rice noodles into palm-sized cakes. Then buckle it the wall of the cauldron, and it will be buckled in three or two minutes. At the bottom are stewed potatoes with beans, and on the side are potstickers and rice flour cakes.

She squatted down to burn firewood, and soon the cauldron came out steaming.

Mrs. Gao nodded again and again: "Okay, it's really good." You're really good at cooking. Look at your posture as a person who always cooks, Lisuo, really Lisuo!"

She nodded her head again and again in praise, and Kou Xi looked at the fire and almost stood up. smiled and said, "Auntie, can I go to the garden to see what else is okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Gao smiled and waved her hand: "You can do whatever you want, our vegetable field is too big, and we can't eat it at all." ”

Kou Xi picked three cucumbers with small yellow flowers in the vegetable garden, and the fresh and tender thorns were still prickly. I picked two small red peppers, two large green peppers, and a few corianders.

The tall lady sat on the threshold and watched Kou Xi cook, and she quickly washed the dishes. Pick up a kitchen knife and smash the cucumber and put it in a large enamel bowl.

Then I went to the cupboard to look for spices, and found that there was nothing at home except for the salt. She walked out and shouted to Huo An next door: "Huo An!"

Since she blurted out her husband, the people of the Huo family, including Huo An herself, felt uncomfortable, and she was embarrassed to call again. could only call him by his name, and Huo An responded: "What's wrong?"

"You go and get some loose vinegar, soy sauce, and if you have chili noodles, you can buy some. If you don't have it, you can buy some if you have MSG. Kou Xi looked at Huo An: "Is there a place to sell things here?"

"There's a commissary in front, these should be there!" said he went back to the house to withdraw the money and took out the five packs of noodles: "Put this in the kitchen, let's eat together!"

Aunt Gao hurriedly walked over and stopped Huo An: "You don't need to buy it, you really don't need to buy it." If you have salt at home, you can eat the same thing, so you don't have to be so particular!"

Huo An smiled and excused himself: "Auntie, Niu Niu is growing his body, and it doesn't take much trouble to have oil, salt, sauce and vinegar." Besides, we eat more than you, so you can just eat with us. We don't pay for your food!"

"No money, no money!" Mrs. Gao waved her hand again and again, looking nervous: "I don't want money, you can eat as much as you want!" She looked shy: "You have given enough rent, I know you take care of our mother." I really don't need to!"

Huo An said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law's cooking is delicious, while she is asking her to give Niu Niu nutrition!"

Aunt Gao looked at Huo An's back as he ran out, and then looked back at Kou Xi's lively humming and cooking. looked at the innocent grandson who was still playing with mud, and wiped a handful of tears sourly: "Hey..... It's nice to have a mom by your side. ”

"Eldest grandson, what will you do in the future!" Gao Da Niang wiped her tears with her grandson on her back, but the tears gushed out as if she couldn't stop it. She could only quickly hide in the house, covering her face with a towel to prevent people from hearing her crying and her red and swollen eyelids.

Kou Xi originally wanted to make a tiger dish, so he mixed it with small Hangzhou pepper, red pepper and coriander with soy sauce and mixed it with ten tenths. Later, I remembered that Niu Niu, who was three or four years old, would definitely not be able to eat it, so I took a cucumber for him.

"Oh, three dishes!" Kou Xi tilted his head and exclaimed, "This is not good!"

She went into the yard again and came back picking four eggplants. Huo An has a large amount of food, and he is not afraid of not being able to finish these dishes.

She looked at Huo An, who was carrying oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, one standing at the door of the kitchen and the other standing at the door of the kitchen, looking at each other and smiling!
