"Whatever delicious food my aunt made, she always thought of me and grandpa."
Yin Fan gave He Hua a warm smile: "Have you tried it? Is the rice krispie candy sweet?"
"Sweet!"
I don't know why, but Yin Fan talked to her like this, and all the uneasiness caused by Song Shiyun was dissipated.
Hehua momentarily forgot that there was anyone else in the photo studio and was immersed in Yin Fan's smile. She skillfully opened the basket and took a piece of rice krispie treats and handed it to him.
"It's really sweet, fragrant and crispy. If you don't believe me, try it."
Yin Fan took the basket carried by Lotus in one hand, and held the photos in a brown paper bag in the other hand.
He chuckled: "Look, I can't spare any time."
Hehua habitually took rice krispie treats and stuffed them into his mouth.
Yin Fan actually lowered his head and bit into the rice krispie treat handed to him by He Hua. He chewed a mouthful and his words were a little slurred.
"My aunt's cooking is really good and delicious!"
"I knew you would like it."
Lotus was happy now. She stuffed a piece of rice krispie candy into Yin Fan's mouth and let him bite it. Then he generously took a few pieces from the basket and handed them to Song Shiyun who was stunned at the side.
"Song Zhiqing, do you want to try it?"
When Yin Fan was in the capital, he had a little mysophobia and hated people feeding him things.
Song Shiyun didn't know that going to the countryside alone to join a queue could change his habits.
This scene made her feel dazzled.
She felt uncomfortable all over and shook her head: "No!"
After saying this to Hehua, she looked at Yin Fan: "Aren't you going to take me to meet Grandpa Yin?"
"My grandpa is in poor health and doesn't want to see anyone."
Yin Fan decisively refused, and then issued an eviction order: "Song Shiyun, I have something to do. Many people will come to take photos soon, so I won't keep you here."
Song Shiyun was so disappointed!
She finally held back her tears, and now her eyes were wet again: "Okay, I'll jump in line at the foot of Changfeng Commune, which is only about twenty miles away from you. I'll come see you next time."
Song Shiyun secretly cheered herself up. She had a bicycle anyway, so a round trip of more than twenty miles was nothing.
She felt that as long as she worked hard and persisted, the misunderstanding between her and Yin Fan would one day be eliminated.
As soon as Song Shiyun left, the lotus flowers in the room couldn't bear it anymore.
She asked curiously: "Brother Yin Fan, who is this Song Zhiqing? She is so good-looking."
"Irrelevant people."
Yin Fan poked Hehua's head with his finger: "You don't care whether it looks good or not. Look at the developed photos."
"Wow, is this really me? Brother Yin Fan, you take the photo of me so well. My eldest sister and second sister are also good-looking. Our whole family is also good-looking."
"You're so good-looking to begin with!"
Song Shiyun was pushing the bicycle, and when she heard the sound coming from the house, a flash of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, and then she got on the bicycle and left.
Yin Fan's photo studio will be open until the 29th of the new year. For those who took photos in the photo studio before, either Yin Fan notified someone to pick them up, or he personally delivered the photos to the members before the new year.
In this way, Shan'ao can have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve.
Qin Yanyue had agreed in advance that he would have a meal with Professor Yin during the Chinese New Year. Yin Fan and the chef Zhou Zhilan originally planned to cook a New Year's Eve dinner.
Professor Yin insisted on moving the meal to noon on New Year’s Eve.
Yin Fan couldn't figure it out: "Grandpa, isn't it good for Uncle Qin to be caught by someone?"
"What do you know? I am enjoying the beauty of adulthood."
Professor Yin chewed the sesame-flavored Rice Krispies Treats brought by Hehua and dropped these meaningful words.
When she woke up early the next morning and heard the sound of firecrackers in the team, Zhou Zhilan began to prepare the meal.
Zhou Zhilan fished out the fat-headed fish kept in the water tank, killed it, separated the fish head from the body, and cut it into fillets along the texture of the fish meat.
The fish fillets are used to make a pot of boiled fish, and the fish heads are used to make minced pepper fish heads.
I had smoked the New Year rabbits before, chopped them up, and steamed a bowl of bacon meat.
Qin Yanyue sent pork to Professor Yin and his grandson. Zhou Zhilan chopped off the bones and stewed a bowl of kelp and pork ribs soup.
Knowing from Yin Fan that Qin Yanyue didn't like eating too greasy pork, Zhou Zhilan picked a piece of fat and lean meat and made twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts and dried chili peppers.
Using the lard from frying the meat, I fried a Chinese cabbage, made a shredded kelp, and fried a large plate of cucumbers grown in a greenhouse.
Thanks to Jiang Yuquan's contribution to the brigade's greenhouse vegetables, even though the ingredients in Shan'ao were not good, Qi Zhishu and Li Zhiqiang overcame all objections and gave them a basket of vegetables for the New Year.
Yin Fan helped Zhou Zhilan, and the two of them worked in the kitchen and prepared eight dishes.
Although there are not many dishes, for those who have lived in cowsheds for many years and whose living environment has been improved because of the soybeans, this is already a quite sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner, with fish and meat, which was not considered acceptable in the past.
I dare not think about it.
By the time Professor Kong came in and helped carry out the dishes, Zhou Changqing had already accompanied Qin Yanyue and Aunt Ju and was talking to Professor Yin.
Apparently because of Aunt Qin Yanyue, Aunt Ju, who had served Mr. Qin, was actually an old acquaintance of Professor Yin.
Looking at Professor Yin's white hair on the temples, Aunt Ju even choked up her voice: "Brother Chong, you have suffered."
"I told this kid Yan Yue a long time ago that I wanted to come see you, but I never found the chance."
"That's enough for you. I can't bring you and Yan Yue down."
Seeing his old friend, Professor Yin sighed: "Ah Ju, Yin Fan and I have been helping each other thanks to Yan Yue. I know that he is willing to be transferred to work here because of me and Fan'er."
"After the Yin family's accident, all the relatives and friends who used to interact with each other have either stayed away from us or added insult to injury. You are the only one who is still helping us in times of trouble."
Thinking of his dead wife, Professor Yin felt sad for a moment: "In this world, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is rare to provide help in times of need. At this point, Fan'er and I can only say that we will return to the capital one day and we will not forget the kindness between you and Yan Yue.
"
"What are you talking about? I was adopted by the Qin family because of Sister Jin's favor. It can be said that I have been enjoying the blessings on behalf of Sister Jin for so many years. It's not right for me to follow Yan Yue and do something for you.
?"
"We all have our own destiny. It was because Jin'er and the Qin family were separated that I had the opportunity to marry her for the rest of my life. No one owes me anything. It's a pity that my unscrupulous son committed a crime and I failed to protect your sister..."
Aunt Ju and Professor Yin started chatting, and they seemed to be talking endlessly.
Yin Fan was afraid that his grandfather would have mood swings and become ill again, so he looked to Qin Yanyue for help.
Qin Yanyue hurriedly interrupted Aunt Ju and Professor Yin: "Uncle, if you have a chance to return to the capital, the policies in the capital have been relaxed."
After hearing Qin Yanyue's words, Professor Yin's dull eyes suddenly brightened.
