Kou Xi looked out the door with a spatula, and greeted the two with a smile: "It's back!"

She tilted her head and smiled wisely, which made the senior deputy battalion commander pause. Huo An walked to the door without noticing his light steps, and watched Kou Xi hurriedly hold on to the door frame and said, "What can I do for you?"

Kou Xi raised his head and looked at him with a smile: "I need you to wash your hands and get ready to eat!"

Outside, the tall lady set the dishes and chopsticks and led Niu Niu who washed his hands over. The wrinkles on his face stretched out, and he pushed his son with his elbow: "Go wash your hands and eat quickly!"

The sound of stir-frying in the kitchen, the happy laughter of children, and the nagging of old mothers sitting on small benches. constitutes a warm picture, which has always been longed for by the senior deputy battalion commander.

Huo An walked out with the last dish and placed it on the dining table. Kou Xi put out the fire and came out with a clean towel. said to Huo An by the pressurized water well: "You fetch me some water, I want to wash my face." It's so hot!"

Kou Xi then washed his face with cold water, picked up the soap in the soap box on the ground, rubbed it, put it on his face and neck, and quickly washed away the sweat on his face.

She took the towel in Huo An's hand to wipe her face, and turned around to see the tall lady and the family of three looking at her attentively.

"What's wrong?" Kou Xi subconsciously lowered his head to see if he was gone, and found that the clothes he was wearing today were not transparent at all, and he did not wet the placket.

"Oh, mom!" Gao Da Niang shook her head and exclaimed: "You are really a neat person! ”

"No!" Kou Xi was modest: "It's too hot to cook, I'm most afraid of the heat, and I can't stand the smoke and sweat before eating." It's not good!"

Kou Xi and Huo An sat down to eat, and there was already a bowl of bud rice batter porridge in the rice bowl in front of them.

"In the afternoon, I watched the children, the steamed steamed buns of the eldest mother. Kou Xi handed the steamed bread cut in half to Huo An: "This is a steamed bun mixed with bud rice and white noodles, which tastes particularly firm and sweet." ”

"Well, it's quite biting!" Huo An nodded and praised.

Kou Xi grabbed the other half of the steamed buns and laughed at himself: "I just can't steam steamed buns, and I occasionally steam them when I'm at home." But the taste is really not good, sometimes the alkaline noodles are yellow if you put too much, and sometimes they are not fluffy. When I go back to my parents' house, I let my milk steam me in a pot, and I carry it back. ”

"Do you know how to do it?" Huo An raised his eyebrows: "I thought you could do everything, the vegetables are fried very well." ”

He took a pair of chopsticks and green peppers to fry the gourd, put it in his mouth and nodded: "Look, this is very delicious." ”

Kou Xi pursed his lips and smiled: "I really can't do the staple food, mainly because I don't make much at home." "The main thing is that in later generations, the streets were full of steamed buns, flower rolls, sugar triangle bean buns, the price is not expensive, it is convenient to eat, and naturally you don't have to steam it yourself.

It is precisely because her skills in staple food are very ordinary, which is very in line with the personality of the newlywed daughter-in-law. As soon as they get married, they are still in the minority, especially girls like Kou Xi who are pampered with slightly better family conditions.

"Wait until these two pots are finished!" Mrs. Gao took a pair of chopsticks and fried cucumber slices and put them in her mouth: "I'll steam the black buckwheat again!" She raised her chin at Kou Xi: "Today, Xiao Kou'er told me about two mixed steamed buns, and she said a lot of things at once." I want to do everything, if I wasn't afraid that I wouldn't be able to finish it, I would really like to give it a try!"

"So diverse?" Huo An looked at Kou Xi: "What are they like?"

"When all the gourds come down, I will use the gourds and noodles to make gourd steamed buns. Yellow soil, golden and delicious!" Kou Xi looked at Huo An with a smile: "There are also spinach blanched to get some green juice, and steamed some green steamed buns." ”

Deputy Battalion Commander Gao also felt interesting when he heard this: "Oh, sister-in-law, you are ingenious." I didn't see it, but I learned it well just by thinking about it. ”

"Hey, little Cole. On the day of your treat, shall we do something?"

Kou Xi looked at Huo An: "I told my aunt that I came this time, although I said that it was a borrowed house." Always set up two tables to invite your comrades-in-arms to dinner, not to mention big fish and meat, you have to come to the house to be lively. ”

Huo An also had this intention, and originally wanted to discuss it with Kou Xi. When I picked her up that day, I forgot about it, but today she said it herself, and Huo An was very satisfied with her thoughtfulness and sensibility.

"I'll discuss it with Brother Gao, these two days. You are ready to prepare, if you need to buy meat, you have to go to the outside supply and marketing cooperative. It's not far, walk straight out of the village and pass a winery, and there is a supply and marketing cooperative in front of it. Huo An was also relieved that Kou Xi would go out alone.

"What to buy, buy it!" Aunt Gao took a bite of vegetables and fed it to Niu Niu, and said disapprerovitically: "I told your daughter-in-law, kill two of my chickens, and have everything!"

Huo An hurriedly waved his hand: "That's not good, that's not good, this chicken will keep you old for the New Year." If you feed it for a few more months, you can grow a few pounds of meat. ”

Gao Da Niang shook her head and blurted out: "If I had known that your daughter-in-law was coming, I would have hugged a few more little goose cubs." Your daughter-in-law is at home to help me watch this cow, and I'll go and mow some grass in the morning, how good!"

The old lady looked sorry: "Oh, what a pity." ”

Kou Xi pursed his lips and smiled at Huo An: "I said that I bought it from my aunt and asked my aunt to help me clean it up." ”

She added: "But you can't just have chickens, please eat a meal, and you can't pick and swish." Buy a fish and stew a meat. ”

"Gee, how much does it cost. Aunt Gao's face ached: "Otherwise, come to the house and make some leek-stuffed dumplings for a meal." These guys don't care about eating, and they can't eat your month's allowance!"

Huo An smiled disapprenously: "It's okay, let Xiaoxi Zhang Luo go." My married comrades-in-arms all knew about it, and everyone spread the news that my daughter-in-law was coming. It's not good not to invite guests to dinner! Comrades-in-arms can understand, and Chinese cabbage is not disgusted!"

Gao Da Niang believed it and clapped the decision: "Then eat Chinese cabbage, it's enough!"

How could Kou Xi lose Huo An's face like this, how could she pick at it when she showed her face for the first time as a military family.

After eating, the old lady washed the dishes at home. Huo An and Deputy Battalion Commander Gao accompanied Kou Xi around the village. Some family members who are with the army in the village have also seen it, and they are really unfamiliar with it, and they nod their heads to know each other.

"These military families, you will all come over on the day we have a treat. Huo An reminded Kou Xi: "Although you haven't stayed here for a long time, you will definitely come over after the military family's house is built." It is also beneficial to familiarize yourself with it early and get acquainted with it as soon as possible. ”

Kou Xi understands this truth, this is the communication that should be.

"I'll deal with it, don't worry!" Kou Xi bared his teeth at Huo An: "I promise not to cause trouble!"

Huo An heard the meaning of Kou Xi's words, and sneered: "It's okay to mess with it, I still have it!"

Deputy Battalion Commander Gao stood behind the two of them, rolling his eyes and speechless: "Hey, you two! I'm still here!
