Chapter 111: Pears
When I got up the next day, I found that the house was cleaned up, and there was still steaming food, but I didn't see Kou Juncheng.
Xi Menglan shouted a few times, but no response was heard, and the water in the basin was also warm, it seemed that it had just been poured out for a long time, and he knew that Xi Menglan had a fixed time to get up.
Since I was pregnant, I can't fall behind, I have to eat every meal, not to mention eating more, at least I have to eat to affect the balance.
The table is full of wild ginseng chicken soup, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, as well as refreshing small cold dishes, red dates and white fungus white rice porridge, plus fragrant small steamed buns and beef jerky, it is simply a royal meal, every time she eats, Xi Menglan is worried that she will eat fat.
"Juncheng is not at home, so he has to eat by himself."
Xi Menglan knew that he had a lot of things to do recently, and he told him that he was busy, and when the meal was ready, she would go straight to work, and she would do the rest by herself.
I drank a sip of white rice porridge, soft and glutinous and sweet, fragrant and delicious, and suddenly felt that my appetite was great, and it was my favorite dishes, so I was not picky, and I ate them one by one.
"Eat them all, see what I got for you."
Kou Juncheng walked up to Ximenglan with a plate of cut pears, placed it on the edge of the table, looked at Ximenglan and smiled.
"Look at it, this is the sour pear of Nanshan, I washed and cleaned it, and I went to the well at the head of the village to soak it in morning water, it was cold and cold, and I tasted it."
Seeing this sour pear, Xi Menglan was full of words, and suddenly felt that the food in her hand was not fragrant, opened her mouth, and asked Kou Juncheng to feed her a piece, and after eating it, she wanted to continue eating.
"Wow, Juncheng, how do you know I want to eat this pear, it's really delicious."
Xi Menglan ate one bite at a time, looked at Kou Juncheng with a surprised face and asked.
"A pig sleeps and talks in his sleep."
Xi Menglan was stunned after hearing this, and tilted her head to look at Kou Juncheng.
"The greedy are talking in their dreams, how can I not act quickly, what my wife wants to eat, even if it is a peach in the sky, I will get it for my wife."
Kou Juncheng said and gave another piece to Xi Menglan, he was not willing to eat it, looking at Xi Menglan with a smile, he also laughed.
"Don't say it, the well water is really cold this morning, and this pear has only been put in for two minutes, and it has become so cool and transparent, and it tastes crispy and sweet."
When she heard Kou Juncheng say this, Xi Menglan's gaze inadvertently stayed on Kou Juncheng's reddened fingers, and she stopped all of a sudden, grabbed Kou Juncheng's hand, and a chill came from her hand.
"Your hands are so cold."
"It's okay, just wait a while, come, eat another piece."
Although Kou Juncheng said that the clouds were light and the wind was light, Xi Menglan couldn't eat it anymore, grabbed Kou Juncheng's hand, and kept rubbing it.
"I'm really not cold, you don't have to worry about me, wait a minute, your hands should be icy."
Kou Juncheng wanted to withdraw his hand, but was held tightly by Xi Menglan.
"Next time, you are not allowed to do this, the well water in early autumn is very cold, you will sit down like this, I am just a dream, there is no need to toss so much, you can eat pears or not, you fall into the root of the disease, absolutely not."
Xi Menglan's eyes were full of distress, looking at his slender and white hands red, his heart was like being cut by a knife.
"I'm really fine......"
"Did you hear that?"
Xi Menglan didn't have the good tone just now, and looked at Kou Juncheng and said sharply.
Kou Juncheng nodded in a daze, seeing Xi Menglan crying, he quickly wiped her away, and said that it was okay.
"With pregnancy, the taste is inevitably more than usual, as long as you want to eat, you tell me, no matter what, I will get it for you."
Kou Juncheng watched Xi Menglan cry more and more fiercely, and suddenly he was in a hurry, and in the hurry of wiping her tears, he threw the plate containing pears on the ground.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll clean it up later, you can sit down and cry again, didn't the doctor say, don't shed tears, as soon as you cry, I'll be in a mess."
Xi Menglan nodded, looked at Kou Juncheng, pursed her lips and smiled.
"Let's eat first, the food is still hot, come, drink a bowl of porridge, I'll clean up the things on the ground later."
Kou Juncheng added some hot porridge to Xi Menglan, and as soon as he sat down on the chair, he listened to the noise outside, and quickly got up and walked out.
Simalan didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly followed out, standing at the door and looking outside.
It was the three long-term workers in the field, and they didn't know what they were talking about when they were following Kou Juncheng.
Kou Juncheng watched them leave, turned around and walked into the courtyard, the frowning brow gave Xi Menglan an unobstructed glance, although he changed to a happy face later, but the look just now was really real.
"What's the matter, why is the long-term worker here?"
Xi Menglan was helped back to sit down at home, carefully touched her stomach, and asked Kou Juncheng.
"Shortcoming, farm tools, the second uncle is not in the village, so they came to me."
"The second uncle is not in the village?"
Xi Menglan does not go out of the door all day long, and the farthest way is to the gate of her house, and her body is getting heavier and heavier, and she doesn't like to move around very much.
"I went to the county seat last night, and I haven't come back yet."
Kou Juncheng's tone was low, even if he was smiling, he could hear that tone.
Xi Menglan saw that Kou Juncheng didn't mean to say anything, so she didn't ask more, more things are better than less, she doesn't care much about things at home now, what she wants most is that the baby in her belly can be born safely, and the rest will be talked about later.
"By the way, I remembered when I saw beef jerky, Da Chun said, he is optimistic about the storefront in the county, I have also been to see it and asked around, the corner and passenger flow are good, it is a good storefront, but the price is a little higher."
"You just said it, the corner and the flow of customers are good, the value of the people is there, and the price is naturally much higher, you can look at this matter, as long as you think it is appropriate, you will start to do it, and strive for me to hold our baby to participate in the opening."
Xi Menglan is now inseparable from her children in three sentences, no matter what the first thing comes to mind, it is also to let her children join in the fun.
"The opening will definitely catch up."
Kou Juncheng drank the porridge bowl as he spoke, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, Xi Menglan always felt that Kou Juncheng's face was weird, it was originally a happy thing, and there was always a kind of sadness between his eyebrows, as if he was worried.
"What's so difficult about this restaurant?"
Xi Menglan was also a person who couldn't hide her thoughts, and seeing that Kou Juncheng seemed to be in trouble, she couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's an old trouble for the two of us to have difficulties, choose a name, the name is also a top priority, we have to rack our brains again."
Kou Juncheng said lightly, but the doubts in Xi Menglan's heart did not subside at all.
