I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 780 A Dinner Named Warmth and Happiness

When the group returned to the urban area of ​​Yuanzhou, it was already a sunny evening. Fortunately, they returned to the community just before the evening rush hour, and did not experience serious traffic jams.After the car entered the community, it stopped directly in front of Ning Qingyun's house.

Ning Qingyun's grandfather Ning Jingguang and grandma Chu Mimei came back a long time ago. They were sitting in the hall watching TV. When they heard the movement outside the door, the two old people supported each other and stood up.

Ning Jingguang's eyes are not very good, and his eyesight is only 0.3 even with specially formulated glasses. I walk with a cane, but at least I don't have to use a wheelchair like I used to.

One of the two elderly people has poor eyesight and the other has difficulty walking, but they didn't let the medical staff next to them help them, but walked slowly to the entrance by themselves.

As soon as Ning Qingyun opened the door, all she saw were the kind smiles of her grandparents.

"Grandpa, grandma!" Ning Qingyun was surprised and delighted, and quickly walked over to support grandma, and Qin Ke also walked quickly, rushing forward to support Ning Jingguang.

"It's good to be back. I heard that you came back three days later than originally planned. Your grandpa and I are a little worried." Chu Mimei caressed Ning Qingyun's beautiful hair lovingly, her voice could not hide her pampering.

Qin Ke said embarrassingly, "Qingyun and I didn't finish visiting a few scenic spots in Paris. We thought we still had time, so we simply stayed for three more days. I didn't expect to make my grandparents worry. It was all my fault."

He didn't mention anything about the private plane, because once he mentioned it, he would have to talk about the accident on the plane, which only increased the worries of the two old people-on the way back, Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu had already whispered about it Well, not many people knew about the accident of the two people's flight, and they didn't tell the two old people. At this time, Qin Ke naturally found a suitable excuse.

Ning Jingguang nodded and said, "It's a good thing for young people to spend more time outside, gaining insight."

Chu Mimei also smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, you didn't have a good honeymoon after getting married, you should spend a few more days." When her eyes fell on her son Ning Zongxun and daughter-in-law Ji Xiuyu who were changing shoes at the door , the attitude became a little blunt: "Didn't you say that you will prepare dinner for the girl and Qin Ke yourself? The action is slow. Xiao Yang has already put all the ingredients in the kitchen."

Obviously, Chu Mimei still felt a little resentful about her son and daughter-in-law not coming home for almost ten years.

It's not that she doesn't know that the two of them are doing major research related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and she doesn't blame them for not coming back to visit and call her, but as long as she thinks that her granddaughter Qingyun grew up like an orphan without parents, others Both parents are happy and happy. Ning Qingyun's childhood and teenage years were accompanied only by lamps, books and test papers, and she didn't even have anyone to act like a baby. The old lady felt a surge of anger in her heart.

Especially when she remembered that when Qingyun was a child, when she was sick and feverish, she still called her parents, but her son and daughter-in-law didn't even call back to care about him, the old lady trembled with distress and anger.

This resentment was usually tolerated when he couldn't see his son and daughter-in-law, but since his son and daughter-in-law came back yesterday, he couldn't control it any longer, and his face was tense at the two of them all day long, without any good looks.

Ning Jingguang was a little better, and he gave his son a hard lesson last night: "It is true that there is a country before there is a country. Our Ning family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and we are children who have sacrificed their lives for the country. We don’t blame you if you choose to serve the country, but can you be a little aware of being parents! If you don’t go home for ten years, can it be that the institute can’t continue to operate without you for a day? When the girl is sick You weren't there, you weren't there when she took the high school entrance examination, and she didn't see you during the college entrance examination, do you have parents like you! Even Xiaojia doesn't know how to love, so how can you talk about patriotism?"

Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu knew they were wrong, the content of their research was top secret, and they couldn't tell the old man, so they could only accept criticism honestly.

The Ning family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and they are actually quite old-fashioned in terms of seniority and inferiority. So don't look at Ning Zongxun and his wife in the research institute. When they report to their superiors, they have to be serious about what they say. Listen, I dare not ignore it, but the couple can only carefully accompany and coax the two old people these two days.

Of course, this is also because they are afraid of angering the two old people. If the old man who is not in good health is hospitalized by them, it will be regrettable.

Seeing Chu Mimei speak at this time, Ji Xiuyu hurriedly smiled and said: "Mom, you and Dad sit down first, Qin Ke, girl, please accompany grandparents, Zongxun and I will cook right away."

In fact, she and Ning Zongxun hired a babysitter early after they got married, and rarely cook in person. In the past ten years, she ate in the cafeteria every day and basically never touched a spatula again. But yesterday, in order to make the two old people happy, she raised her mouth I personally cooked dinner for my daughter, and I just talked about it casually, but the old lady actually remembered it.

At this time, the old lady opened her mouth, she had to cook even if she had to bite the bullet, she hurriedly took off her coat, and hurriedly grabbed her husband's hand, at the same time she gave the nanny Aunt Yang a wink, indicating that she was free to come and help , to avoid the final dinner that cannot be eaten.

"Xiao Yang, come here and help me rub my shoulders. Recently, my neck has been a little sore." Chu Mimei saw this scene with sharp eyes, and immediately called Aunt Yang, the nanny, to stop.

Ji Xiuyu had no choice but to force a smile, and honestly went to work in the kitchen with her husband.

Seeing that Ning Zongxun and his wife had gone to the kitchen, grandma snorted softly.

Ning Qingyun said weakly: "Grandma, my parents are afraid..."

"Leave them alone. I haven't been home for ten years. What's wrong with asking them to cook a meal? Don't they even know how to cook a meal for the children? I taught your dad since I was a child that morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor must be fully developed. I have to do big things, but I also have to do household chores. I want to see if this great scientist can cook!" As she said, grandma pulled Ning Qingyun over and looked her up and down, her voice suddenly changed. Become milder:

"Yun'er, let grandma see if she is tired and thin. I heard that you and Qin Ke have solved the NS equation in the past six months. This is certainly a good thing, but grandma loves you so much. Don't work too hard. Life is still very long, but Don't burn yourself out."

Ning Qingyun hurriedly said: "It's okay, this is our interest, we usually pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and keep exercising every day. Look how good I am now."

Qin Ke next to him smiled and remained silent. He could see that grandma was not only expressing her grievances for Ning Qingyun, but also trying to resolve the resentment in Ning Qingyun's heart. After all, after grandma "taught" Ning Zongxun and his wife, Ning Qing Even if there were still some residual resentment in Yun's heart, it was resolved.

In the future, when getting along with parents, there will be less grudges and more intimacy.

Qin Ke sighed in his heart, no wonder some people say that having an old man in a family is like having a treasure. Not many middle-aged people can do this kind of careful maintenance and resolution of internal conflicts in the family.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun chatted with their grandparents for more than ten minutes, mainly talking about interesting things about going abroad, and then found an excuse to go to the bathroom and came to the kitchen.

I saw Ning Zongxun and his wife wearing aprons and preparing dinner in a hurry. Ji Xiuyu tied up her hair and was carefully and clumsily cutting the meat. Ning Zongxun next to her was scraping the fish scales. There are drops of water, and it looks a little embarrassed.

If you listen carefully, you can also hear this dialogue:
"Why did Mom ask the nanny to buy fish? Zongxun, can you handle fish?"

"Do you think I can do it like this?"

"Hey... I have a headache, Zongxun, do you have a mobile phone? Why don't you check the recipes online immediately?"

Qin Ke coughed softly and walked into the kitchen.

Seeing Qin Ke appearing, both of them were a little surprised. Ning Zongxun stopped the knife in his hand and asked, "Qin Ke, why don't you talk more with grandparents?"

Qin Ke blinked and said with a smile: "I was rushed here by Qingyun to help. She said that you still have blood in your eyes. It's obvious that you haven't had a good rest for a long time, and I'm too lazy to eat all day. Why don't you come here and have a labor reform. She said I'm very ashamed, no, I'll come here immediately. Parents, please don't drive me back, or Qingyun will punish me."

Ji Xiuyu and Ning Zongxun knew that Qin Ke was talking nonsense, but they felt comfortable listening to it. This kid suddenly put all the credit on Ning Qingyun, and this reason succeeded in making them unable to dissuade Qin Ke from helping.

Ji Xiuyu wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said with a smile: "Okay, I heard Qingyun talk about your cooking skills a long time ago, this trip really helped me and your dad, we really can't handle this meal... ..."

Qin Ke showed an embarrassed look: "I only know how to cook some simple home-cooked dishes. Qingyun's words are too exaggerated. Dad, Mom, I will help you."

What Qin Ke said was "fighting first", in fact he acted as the main force. He first took the knife from Ning Zongxun, skillfully disemboweled the fish, scraped off the scales, and asked, "Dad, do you plan to kill the fish?" Braised fish in braised sauce or steamed? Grandma and Qingyun may prefer a lighter taste."

"Then steam it." Seeing Qin Ke's quick movements, Ning Zongxun couldn't help admiring, "Qin Ke, did you often help cook at home?"

"Well, my mother and younger sister are not very good at cooking. My father usually does the cooking, but my father used to be in the hardware business, and he had to go out to buy goods every week. I learned and practiced, and slowly There will be some." While speaking, Qin Ke had already washed the pot and boiled water, and chopped the ginger and onion.

Ji Xiuyu couldn't help but also praised: "Although I haven't seen a girl cook, I guess you two live together, and most of the time you cook. Looking at the girl's hands, it doesn't seem like she often does housework. She It was a blessing to meet you."

Qin Ke replied with a smile without hesitation: "The division of labor is different. Qingyun sweeps the floor, mops the floor, cleans up the clothes and the room. She is very virtuous and diligent. She is dozens of times stronger than my sister's lazy girl. To find such a good girl as a wife, That is my greatest blessing."

The three of them were cooking while chatting, and the atmosphere was very good. Qin Ke soon became the de facto main force. Ning Zongxun and his wife were really not good at this, so they gradually became the role of helpers, helping with washing The dishes pass the ingredients and pass the seasonings.

Seeing Qin Ke's familiar movements and the smell of delicious food floating in the kitchen, Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu exchanged glances, and both could see the satisfaction and appreciation in each other's eyes.

Who would have imagined that Qin Ke, a super academic, great mathematician, and great physicist who is now so miraculously uploaded on the Internet and is almost protected by the country as a national treasure, would be so good at doing housework in private?And not only good at it, but also willing to do it.

From Qin Ke's actions and the kind of doting towards Ning Qingyun in his tone, it is completely conceivable how happy and attentive Ning Qingyun was taken care of when the young couple lived together.

Ning Zongxun gave his wife a smug wink, which meant: "Look, from the first time I saw Qin Ke, I thought he was a very good boy, worthy of entrusting the girl to him."

Ji Xiuyu returned a look of "you are the best", meaning: "OK, I know you are better than me. I was narrow-minded at first, but now I admit that Qin Ke is indeed the most suitable boy for Yun'er, okay? ?”

The two couples have been together for decades. It can be said that they have never been separated for a day.

During the period, the nanny, Aunt Yang, took a look at the situation lightly, and heard Ning Zongxun outside the kitchen: "Hey, Qin Ke, it seems that you don't need to cook too much, right?"

"It's okay, let's just celebrate my parents coming home. Besides, we ate western food every day in Paris. Qingyun and I were a little tired, so we just happened to cook a few more dishes for a change."

Aunt Yang, the nanny, couldn't help showing a smile. She quietly took a few photos with her mobile phone, went back to the hall and whispered about what she saw in the kitchen, then showed the photos to Chu Mimei, and joked: "Three A great academician prepares dinner for you, old lady, you are blessed."

Chu Mimei snorted softly, pretending to be dissatisfied and said, "You said you wanted to cook dinner for your daughter, but in the end you still need Qin Ke to help."

Ning Qingyun also looked at these photos, but her gaze became extraordinarily soft.In fact, seeing that Qin Ke hadn't come back for a long time, she guessed that she might have gone to help her parents.

A warm current surged in the girl's heart. This Qin Xiaoke is always so considerate and careful in doing things...

Ning Qingyun gently shook grandma: "Grandma..."

Chu Mimei sighed helplessly: "Hey, your grandfather and I are also a little tired, let's meet our eyes first, we don't care where you are going."

Ning Qingyun quickly kissed grandma on the face: "Thank you grandma, you and grandpa have a good rest, and call you after dinner."

She trotted briskly to the kitchen, obviously going to help too.

Just from her back, one can see how happy the girl is at the moment, and the happiness that is almost overflowing.

Ning Jingguang shook his head and said with a light smile, "Leave them alone, as long as the girl is happy in her heart."

The corners of Chu Mimei's mouth also slightly twitched: "Zong Xun and Xiuyu are very lucky to have such a sensible daughter and son-in-law."

Not long after, there was a little lively laughter in the kitchen.Under the warm yellow light above the head, the boy skillfully flipped the dishes with a spatula, the girl with a single ponytail tacitly cooperated and handed over the seasonings, and another middle-aged couple was cleaning the floor and rinsing the food residues beside them. The eyes that looked at this young couple were full of relief.

"Mom, do you eat coriander? I don't remember."

"I don't eat much, but I can eat some, you just go with your taste."

"Then...Qin Xiaoke, why don't you add some seasoning?"

"receive."

The clear silver glow under the moonlight outside the window, the smell of food flowing, the sound of car horns outside the house from time to time, the dialogue full of life, and the smile on the pretty face of the girl are all vivid It interprets the word "happiness".

For countless people, it is a small matter of life that is taken for granted, but for Ning Qingyun, it is the "warm" time that was once dreamed of but never available.
