After Qiao Chu finished washing the dishes and walked to the kitchen with a bowl of various vegetables, Meng Zhuangzhou finally couldn't help but asked, "Mrs. Chen personally cooked for me?"
Qiao Chu smiled and said: "It's not specially made for you, our family also needs to eat it."
"Mrs. Chen often cooks on weekdays?" Meng Zhuangzhou was even more shocked.
Qiao Chu smiled and nodded: "Yes. I do it on weekdays too."
Meng Zhuangzhou: "..."
Chen Qingshan glanced at Meng Zhuangzhou, stood up, went over, and took the basin from Qiao Chu's hand: "I'll cook, you can rest."
Qiao Chu looked at Chen Qingshan in astonishment: Didn't you agree before that you would cook more meals for Lin'er? How come you were deprived of your right after only a few meals?
Chen Qingshan smiled at Qiao Chu: "You can cook the next meal. Lin'er should also eat the food cooked by his father."
Qiao Chu was not persistent, nodded in agreement, and went to light the fire by himself.
The couple didn't talk anymore, but Lin'er took the initiative to chat with Meng Zhuangzhou: "Uncle Meng, what did you do before?"
Meng Zhuangzhou: "Before... it was just for fun."
"Then why did you become the new owner of Zhuangzi next door?" Lin'er asked.
"Because I think the scenery here is beautiful, and there are many seasonal flowers planted there, but your village doesn't sell them, so I had to buy the village next door to you." Meng Zhuangzhou is really good at talking, and Lin'er's eyes are smiling when he talks.
Narrow your eyes!
"What does Lin'er like to play on weekdays?" Meng Zhuangzhou also started to talk.
Lin'er sighed with a mature look: "I play very little, I'm interested in everything, and I'm not good at anything... Sigh!"
"Then next time, I will take you to play?" Meng Zhuangzhou immediately ran up the pole.
Lin'er's eyes lit up: "Is it okay?"
Meng Zhuangzhou smiled with a smile on his face: "Of course you can!"
"We'll wait until my mother and I have an agreement." Lin'er turned around and entered the kitchen.
After hearing Lin'er's words, Qiao Chu looked out and met Meng Zhuangzhou's smiling eyes.
Qiao Chu frowned slightly: This man's look seemed a little familiar?!
Where on earth did you see it?!
After thinking about it for a moment, Qiao Chu simply forgot about it and started to light the fire in peace.
Chen Qingshan's kitchen knife tapped crisply on the chopping board, and with a burst of sound, he cut the cucumber into shreds, cut the coriander into sections, smashed the garlic, and cut the pepper into rings.
In a pot of boiling water, a chicken was steaming across the water. When Chen Qingshan prepared all the ingredients, he took out the chicken and shredded it neatly...z.br
Mix in cucumber shreds and various seasonings, and the cold shredded chicken is ready.
A well-prepared silver barracuda is steamed in another pot. When it comes out of the pot, pour the prepared sauce, add shredded green onions and ginger, and pour a spoonful of hot oil...
By the time a table of four or five dishes was served, only half an hour had passed.
Chen Qingshan greeted: "It's time to eat!"
Lin'er is learning to serve rice today.
Daya taught him in a low voice: "Don't fill the rice bowl full, don't poke your fingers into the bowl, don't press it with a rice spoon..."
Lin'er was very obedient, adjusting her movements quickly, and soon the rice was served.
"Sister Da Ya, is this okay?" Lin'er, who felt that she had completed the task very smoothly, couldn't help but ask Da Ya for credit.
Da Ya nodded, feeling very nervous and relieved: "That's okay. Lin'er learns very quickly."
She was just afraid that Lin'er would be too strong and break the bowl again!
Lin'er was very happy to receive the praise, and walked to the dining table with a bowl of rice in one hand.
Daya reminded: "Lin'er, next time you serve one bowl at a time."
Lin'er promised, putting down one of the bowls first, and then taking the other bowl with both hands. However, his hands were too fast, and he directly knocked the bowl in front of him and dropped it...
With the crisp sound of porcelain breaking, Da Ya was stunned and didn't know what to say!
Lin'er was also stunned. He looked at the fallen bowl and was very frustrated: "How can I
Did you break another bowl!?"
Qiao Chu poked his head out of the kitchen and took a look: "Lin'er, clean up the floor and get another bowl for rice."
Obviously Qiao Chu's tone was calm and did not mean to blame. Lin'er quickly calmed down his emotions, but Da Ya quietly walked away alone.
When Lin'er finished cleaning up and took out the rice again, he realized that Da Ya was missing.
"Where's Sister Da Ya?" Lin'er looked around blankly.
"She seems to have gone back." Qiao Chu replied.
Qiao Chu actually saw Da Ya leave, but for a child's low self-esteem, telling her "you are fine" is not enough.
So Qiao Chu pretended not to see it and wanted to wait for a while until she could digest her emotions before talking.
"She hasn't eaten yet, why is she going back?" Lin'er hasn't reacted yet.
Qiao Chu also pretended to be stupid: "I don't know either, why don't you ask her?"
"Oh." Lin'er then ran all the way to find Daya.
The house where Daya's family lived was not far from the main house. Lin'er ran to the door of Daya's house in just a few seconds. Who knew that before anyone entered, he heard a clear slap from inside: "You
Say! Where did this come from?"
Da Ya's voice came out in a choked voice: "This is what Lin'er gave to me."
"What Lin'er? That's the young master's house! You've only been there for a day, and you've forgotten your dignity and inferiority?" Before he could finish his scolding, another slap rang out.
"It was given to me by my young master. Wuwu..." Da Ya agreed while crying.
Lin'er was so angry that she opened the courtyard door and rushed in: "What's the matter? I can't give her anything anymore?"
In the hall, Da Ya Niang was scolding Da Ya while holding the ingot of gold in her hand.
Da Ya's face was swollen, her hair was messy, and she was sobbing in frustration.
"Young master, where did you get the gold?"
"You want to know the reason?" Lin'er raised her head and looked at the disbelieving woman, her eyes filled with anger.
"Such a valuable thing fell into Da Ya's hands. Naturally, I want to interrogate him." Da Ya Niang was very confident.
"Did you ask clearly during the cross-examination? Where did she go wrong?" Lin'er asked again.
"How could she want something from the young master's family? Or something so valuable?" The eldest girl stamped her feet anxiously.
Lin'er sneered and said angrily: "If she wants what I give her, she can take it. If she doesn't want it, she can take it away? How dare she?!"
Da Ya Niang was stunned for a moment and felt aggrieved: "...That's not what she said. I'm just worried that she did something wrong."
"You didn't even ask clearly, so you took it out on your daughter and slapped her in the face first. Do you really feel sorry for her? Or are you afraid that she has done something wrong and will implicate you and you will be kicked out of the village?"
"This..." Da Ya Niang was stunned again.
"Have you ever trusted her from beginning to end?" Lin'er also had tears in her eyes.
"She is your daughter. You don't feel sorry for her. You hit her without even asking. You hit her several times! Are you really her mother?"
Lin'er trembled with tears in her lips, but she still tried to reason.
The little person fell into the eyes of the big girl, and she looked like the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves the suffering.
"I broke two bowls today and I wanted to throw them away. Da Ya said the bowls can be cured and used again. If I didn't want them, she asked me to give them to her. She cured them and took them home for use, so I agreed.
"
"I had never seen a curium bowl before, so I asked Uncle Zhuangtou to take Da Ya and me to make a curium bowl. Who knew that as soon as the ingot came out, it was smashed by someone, and the man paid Da Ya a piece of gold...
…Here, it’s this ingot in your hand.”
"Now tell me, and tell Daya, where did she go wrong? Tell me to be convinced, and tell her to be convinced." Lin'er's tone was sonorous, but tears finally rolled down her face.
