"What is my brother going to cook tonight?"

"I'll take a look......"

Zhou Zhongqing opened the refrigerator and thought about what to cook tonight.

On weekdays, both brothers and sisters have to go to school, and it is unrealistic to expect her sister, who has just entered the second grade of primary school, to go grocery shopping, and Zhou Zhongqing himself does not have the time to go grocery shopping every day, so every time he has time to go grocery shopping, he will buy a few more days and put it in the refrigerator.

I didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, but after becoming a family, I slowly learned to be careful and calculated, and it was a headache to think about what to cook every day, if it was Zhou Zhongqing who ate it himself, he would just get some food, but my sister couldn't, when the little girl was still growing up, if conditions permitted, Zhou Zhongqing naturally wanted to get her more good.

Although he has not yet become a parent, but now as the eldest brother, he has become the only pillar of the family, and he somewhat understands the mood of his parents at the beginning.

"Eat tonight...... Stir-fried beef with bitter melon? ”

"Ah...... Don't eat bitter gourd! ”

"Bitter gourd is good for the body, my brother didn't like to eat it before, but now I think it's delicious."

"It's not delicious, it's not delicious! Brother ~ I want to eat Coke chicken wings! ”

"Didn't you just eat it the day before yesterday, and eat it again? It's not okay to eat one dish all the time! ”

"You said it was the day before yesterday!"

Zhou Zhongqing had no choice but to take out the chicken wings from the freezer, soak them in warm water to thaw, and then put a little salt in the warm water.

"Brother, why do you add salt to the water? Pickled chicken wings? Zhou Xiyu said curiously.

My younger sister at this age is curious about everything except studying.

Zhou Zhongqing said patiently: "It's faster to add some salt to thaw, otherwise you will have to wait for a long time." ”

"Why?"

"This is infiltration and melting, you'll know later."

"Will the teacher teach in the future?"

Zhou Zhongqing was stunned, this teacher really doesn't know how to teach, he also learned it by watching his mother do this before, his mother must not know what to penetrate, what to melt and so on, she may also learn it from her grandmother, so these fragmented lives have been passed down from generation to generation.

"Is your rice cooked?" Don't forget to press the switch again. Zhou Zhongqing asked her.

"It's already cooked! My brother always said I was confused, but I wasn't confused at all! Zhou Xiyu snorted.

Compared with many children of the same age, the fact that he can cook rice made Zhou Xiyu gain the admiration of many classmates in the class.

Primary school students get out of school early, she doesn't need others to pick up, every day after school, she runs home quickly with a schoolbag, if her brother doesn't come home, she washes the rice and cooks it herself, cooks the rice first, and then stir-fries when her brother comes back.

Only the brother and sister eat, each time only need to put a cup and a small half cup of rice is enough, wash twice and then add water, she is not like her brother at a glance to see whether the water level is suitable, so she has to press her little hand down, if the water level is just to the back of her hand, that is okay.

How to cook rice was taught to her by her brother, but Zhou Xiyu took the initiative to cook rice every day.

The little head may not be able to think of any big reason, she just wants to help her brother share a little bit of things, and let herself be a little useful.

"Na! The garlic is peeled! ”

Zhou Xiyu opened her little hand, and a few white garlic heads were placed on the kitchen counter about the height of her head.

"Okay, just leave it there, if you don't finish your homework, go do your homework, and I'll check it for you after eating!"

"It's done!"

"Did you get it right?"

"Hmm......"

The little girl's expression was solemn, she really couldn't understand, wouldn't it be nice to finish her homework, why do you have to do it right!

"Okay, okay, let's go out and watch TV by yourself."

Zhou Zhongqing was angry and funny, took out the vegetables from the refrigerator and picked them by the pool, he tried his best to tutor his sister's learning, but he wouldn't force her too much to learn how to do it, after all, she was just a second-grade child, learning is important, it's important, but it won't kill all her nature for the sake of learning.

In the days when brothers and sisters depended on each other, Zhou Zhongqing's request was very simple, as long as Xiao Yu grew up healthy and happy, everything else was secondary to these.

Zhou Xiyu ran out of the woodlands.

But after a while he ran back to the kitchen, with something else in his hand—a bottle of Coke, and a pack of bear biscuits.

"Is my brother hungry?"

"I'm hungry."

"Ah, open your mouth!"

Zhou Zhongqing bent down and lowered his head and opened his mouth, allowing his sister to pinch a bear biscuit and stuff it into his mouth.

"Hey, why are your clothes dirty today?!"

"Our school teacher asked us to pull weeds in the garden today, and I pulled the most, and the teacher praised me."

"It's so powerful, it seems that you are very talented in farm work."

"Hey, hey."

Zhou Xiyu smiled shyly: "Then I also found earthworms and grasshoppers in the life of pulling weeds, and the boys in the class didn't dare to catch them, I wasn't afraid!" ”

"You've caught a centipede!"

"What does a centipede look like?"

Children in big cities are very unfamiliar with these things, and Zhou Xiyu is no exception, Zhou Zhongqing described the appearance of centipedes to her, and her big eyes blinked when she heard them.

In her opinion, her brother is probably the most powerful person in the world, and she knows it almost at all times, and in the class where there are mostly only children, she is most proud of having an older brother, which is a thing worth showing off for Zhou Xiyu.

There is no work in the kitchen that needs her sister to help with, maybe in the countryside, if there is a job for her to burn a fire, Zhou Xiyu can jump up excitedly.

But even when she's not working, she likes to stay in the kitchen and talk to her brother.

God knows how this little kid talked so much, chattering and telling my brother about what happened to her at school today, including her classmates, including her teachers, and even what novelties she saw on the way back.

Zhou Zhongqing doesn't think she is noisy, compared to those things in the adult world, these things of hers are so small that they can be ignored, but they have a different kind of innocent fun.

To make Coke chicken wings, in addition to chicken wings, of course, Coke is indispensable, Zhou Xiyu has just brought it in, and it took a lot of effort for the tender little fingers to open the Coke, and then hold it high and hand it to Zhou Zhongqing.

"It doesn't take so much, just drink a little if you want to."

"Didn't my brother say that the first sip of Coke is the best, you drink it first!"

Zhou Zhongqing was not polite, took his sister's heart, took a sip, and then handed it to her.

Zhou Xiyu held Coke in both hands and took a sip of it, everything about a child seemed so immature, she squinted her eyes when she even drank Coke.

The chicken wings soaked in salt water have almost thawed, Zhou Zhongqing took out the chicken wings and cleaned them, and used a knife to make a few cuts on them to facilitate marinating.

"What do you want to pickle?"

Zhou Xiyu is short, and if she wants to see how her brother cooks, she needs to stand on a small bench.

The little fat cat was shorter than her, but the little fat cat could jump, so Xiao Mang jumped to a clean place on the kitchen counter and lay down, swinging the tip of his tail leisurely.

"Put ginger, minced garlic, cooking wine, oil, salt, oil, soy sauce...... Eh, the soy sauce is gone. ”

"Then I'll buy it!"

"Well, then you go ......"

Zhou Zhongqing, who was about to ask his sister to buy soy sauce, came back to his senses and stopped her again: "Wait, I'll go." ”

I almost forgot that there was a female ghost who only watched the door at the door......
