On Xiaojie's birthday, Yu Xiangnian rode a bicycle to the vegetable market early in the morning to shop.

Pork ribs, beef, shrimp, various vegetables, condiments, bought two full net pockets.

Xiaojie went to the cemetery to see his father in the morning, and went to school again in the afternoon.

Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo began to be busy at home.

Yu Xiangnian is in charge of making cakes.

She cracked five eggs in a basin and began to stir, adding some flour, sugar, baking soda and the like as she stirred, until it was a very thin batter.

There are no ovens or rice cookers now.

Yu Xiangnian could only use a clean plastic bag to cover the basin and tie the mouth tightly to prevent water vapor from penetrating in.

Finally, put it in a pot and steam.

Cheng Jingmo watched her series of actions, and didn't dare to ask more, for fear of exposing his dirty bun nature.

He automatically understood that it was a steamed cake with eggs.

Cheng Jingmo was responsible for washing and cutting vegetables, and Yu Xiangnian told him that the beef must be sliced thinly.

Yu Xiangnian said what kind of hot pot he wanted to make, first cook the pork ribs, use the pork rib soup as the bottom of the pot, and then put all kinds of vegetables in it to cook.

His understanding is to cook a pot of mixed vegetables.

The cake was steamed, and Cheng Jingmo's task was completed.

Yu Xiangnian saw that the time was almost up, and asked Cheng Jingmo to hide the cake first, and then take it out when it was dark.

She started making dipping sauces for eating hot pot.

Put the minced garlic, minced ginger, chili noodles, green onions, coriander, sesame seeds, and the sauce that Yoo Zhen asked for in a bowl, then pour hot oil and stir, and finally add a little salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.

Cakes and dipping sauces, she has never done them before, but she saw them when she watched the video.

I don't know if I can eat it, but that's it anyway!

Xiaojie came home from school and saw a table of dishes on the table, all of which were raw.

He glanced at Cheng Jingmo suspiciously, and Cheng Jingmo gave a "don't ask, I don't understand" look.

Yu Xiangnian said: "Okay, the little birthday star is back, let's have dinner!" ”

Cheng Jingmo put the pork rib soup that had been boiled in advance and was packed in a Luo pot on the honeycomb coal stove, and the three of them sat next to the stove.

Yu Xiangnian gave the two of them a dipping water, "The soup is already boiling, put these vegetables in it and cook them, and eat them with this dipping water after they are cooked." ”

Yu Xiangnian made a demonstration.

She picked up a piece of beef and put it in the pot and boiled it for dozens of seconds, then dipped it in water, "That's it." ”

In the middle of September, although the temperature dropped a little, it was still more than 20 degrees, and the three of them were sweating profusely.

Although it was the first time to do it, Yu Xiangnian felt that the taste was still very good.

Cheng Jingmo also thought so, and said in his heart, Yu Xiangnian's cooking is not very good, and the hot pot he makes tastes quite good.

Xiaojie also thinks it's delicious, and it's novel.

In the past, on his birthday, his father would cook him a bowl of egg noodles to eat.

It was the first time he had eaten "hot pot".

This aunt is not very good at cooking, but I didn't expect to make hot pot.

"Auntie, who did you learn to make hot pot from?"

"I learned from a certain bottom!"

"Who is a certain bottom fish?"

"It's not a person, it's a place!" Yu Xiangnian thought about it and said, "No matter how much time stops at any second, at least there is a waiter pouring sour plum soup!" ”

Cheng Jingmo was confused.

Xiaojie asked, "Is the sour plum soup delicious?" ”

"It's not as delicious as the bayberry soup I cooked!"

Xiaojie still wanted to ask, Yu Xiangnian said: "There is also a noodle dumping service for a certain bottom fishing, today is your birthday, I will throw you a copy." ”

Xiaojie is full of anticipation!

Cheng Jingmo had a bad premonition in his heart.

A person who doesn't even know how far he wants to meet, wants to throw noodles?!

Really!

I saw her shaking with both hands, and then she broke it with a trembling tremble!

"Tsk!" Yu Xiangnian looked at the noodles in his hand dissatisfied, then put them in the pot and instructed Cheng Jingmo, "You eat this noodles." ”

She picked up another one, and this time she didn't dare to shake it after shaking it twice, she turned it around, and when she turned it back, her face was broken.

No one could see when the face was broken.

Yu Xiangnian said with some embarrassment: "I'll eat this noodle." ”

She hesitated to pick up the third one.

prepared three noodles, which were going to be broken again, and her face would be lost.

Cheng Jingmo said, "I'll come." ”

Yu Xiangnian was relieved and hurriedly handed him the noodles.

Cheng Jingmo pinched the ends of the noodles, and the same hands trembled, and the noodles became longer and thinner.

"Almost, put it in the pot and cook." Yu Xiangnian said to Xiaojie: "You can eat this noodle." ”

At night.

Yu Xiangnian put on a conical hat folded with newspaper for Xiaojie and inserted a candle on the cake.

The main thing is that there are no cake candles, and the candles at home are thicker than the fingers, so I will light one meaningfully.

Singing birthday songs, making wishes, blowing out candles, eating cakes, after a series of regular processes.

Yu Xiangnian cleared his throat, "Xiaojie, I wish you a happy birthday!" ”

Xiaojie understood the hint and said to Cheng Jingmo: "Uncle, I'm eight years old, I can't sleep with you anymore from tonight, Dong Jiannan won't sleep with his father and mother for a long time!" ”

Xiaojie's words caught Cheng Jingmo off guard, and he was not prepared at all.

Cheng Jingmo could only discuss with him, "From tomorrow onwards, you will sleep alone." ”

"No way!" Xiaojie said, "The teacher said that after the age of five, I can't sleep with adults anymore, and I'm eight years old!" ”

Cheng Jingmo: "In this way, you sleep alone first, and when you fall asleep, I will go in and sleep." ”

Xiaojie still shook his head, "You can sleep with my aunt." ”

Yu Xiangnian secretly praised Xiaojie in his heart.

This kid didn't teach him how to speak, he would say it, much better than Cheng Jingmo!

Cheng Jingmo remembered what Yu Xiangnian said on the wedding day, and glanced at her with a weak heart.

Yu Xiangnian frowned, his little face twisted, and he looked very embarrassed.

Xiaojie asked again: "Why do the eldest girl and Dong Jiannan's father and mother sleep in the same bed, and you and your aunt don't sleep together?" ”

Cheng Jingmo: "···"

Yu Xiangnian sighed, his mouth deflated, "Today is Xiaojie's birthday, only once a year, you follow him, don't make him unhappy." Besides, he should sleep in separate beds at his age. ”

Xiaojie looked at Yu Xiangnian's reluctant appearance, and remembered what Yu Xiangnian told him: The more beautiful a woman says, the more you can't believe it!

Xiaojie fell into deep thought.

His aunt is the most beautiful in the family home, so she said that "the more beautiful a woman says, the more you can't believe it", can you believe it?

If he threw his uncle into his aunt's bed, would he hurt his uncle?

Seeing Xiao Jie's eyes down and not speaking, Cheng Jingmo thought that Xiao Jie really didn't want to sleep with him.

He could only force himself, "Okay, you will sleep alone from tonight." ”

"Wuhu!" Yu Xiangnian cheered inwardly, and his face was more reluctant than Cheng Jingmo.

It's not that she has any thoughts about Cheng Jingmo, his injuries have to rest for at least more than a month before he can exercise.

Instead, the ambiguous layer of window paper between the two can be regarded as poking open!
