Chapter 18 A Shadow

The siblings were tired all day, and Zhong Xixi really wanted to take out some ready-made ones and eat them directly, but he was afraid that the neighbors would visit or the smell would waft out.

On the other hand, she used to hear people say that the rice cooked in a large pot with a fire in the countryside is particularly delicious. Now that the conditions are sufficient, she is also a little eager to try.

"Would you like to make pimple soup?"

It just so happened that Aunt Sun hadn’t eaten the steamed buns that Aunt Sun brought in this morning, so Zhong Xixi wandered around the tens of billions of warehouses with his mind, and after a while a dozen eggs appeared on the stove, and weeds found a few small wild stalks from the inside. onion.

There was also a bag of flour, about three catties, and she quickly put the flour into a woven bag that she had brought back from shopping, and burned the original packaging.

Forget it, plus the little things I took in the morning, I actually took things five times today?

The number of times is one more than yesterday. It seems that if you take good care of your body, the number of times will increase.

"Grumbling..."

At this time, Zhong Xixi's thoughts were disturbed by the belly singing about the empty city plan.

Forget it, there is no way to get away from the tens of billions of warehouses. Now let's solve the food and clothing and talk about other things.

The twigs picked up in the yard today were just used as firewood. After the fire was lit, the pot was heated with oil. Zhong Xixi fried the chopped shallots in the pot, added a pinch of salt, and started frying them deftly.

Finally, some water was added, and when the pot was opened, the noodles, beaten eggs, and chopped green onions were added in order, and the taste of the soup had already drifted out with the wind.

Zhong Mumu had already smelled the fragrance and ran over, "Sister, what did you do, why is it so fragrant!"

The words were addressed to Zhong Xixi, but his eyes were fixed on the pimple soup and side dishes by the stove without blinking, and he swallowed mouthful after mouthful of saliva.

"hungry?"

After a busy day, adults are too hungry, let alone children who are growing.

I haven't had two full meals at Liu Meili's house, so Zhong Xixi specially used the big bowl I bought today when serving Zhong Mumu's meal, "Mumu, help sister bring over the buns, and the meal can be served!"

The condiments were generous and the heat was just right. Zhong Mumu ate the meal without raising his head. The wowotou brought by Aunt Sun was so big that such a small child ate two in one go.

"Sister, your cooking is too delicious!"

Yes, it is really delicious.

Even Aunt Sun, who had just put down the bowls and chopsticks at home, got up and looked for the source of the smell.

"Who cooks so deliciously, the oil must have poured half the bottle!"

Before going out, she was still muttering about the extravagance of a cook, but when she found the smell coming from the old house at the door, Aunt Sun's attitude turned 180 degrees, "This child is promising, and life is so difficult that she didn't put her down." Knock down, at a young age, he took his six-year-old brother out to set up his own family, and he lived with relish."

"What's the deal?"

Aunt Sun was not the only one who followed the smell, her man Wang Xiang followed closely behind with a pipe in his hand, staring at the yard opposite and swallowed uncontrollably, "I dare to cook with such fanfare after taking 20 yuan, I can't use it." I spent all my money in a few days, so I have to go home and beg Liu Meili's family? After all, it belongs to a woman's family, with long hair and short knowledge, who only sees the present and ignores the future."

It's not easy for a little girl to bring her younger brother to make a living. Not used to seeing her man like this, Aunt Sun unceremoniously raised her hand and slapped Wang Xiang hard on the back, "If you have the ability, go find some Brown sugar to support me? Xixi is capable, but even if she cooks meat at home every day, it has nothing to do with you."

"You mother-in-law..."

"Okay, let's go home quickly, don't say that grapes are sour here."

There are no recreational activities in the countryside, and they usually go to bed after finishing their dinner. Aunt Sun pushed Wang Xiang and was about to close the door. When she turned around, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow under the wall of the old house out of the corner of her eye.

"Hey?"

Thinking it was his eyesight, after Wang Xiang went back, Aunt Sun took advantage of the opportunity of closing the door to squint and look at that corner. Is there really someone?

Think about a little girl and a six-year-old child in the yard.

Aunt Sun didn't even think about it, she opened the door as if passing by, and swaggered into the courtyard opposite.

"Xixi, I'm eating!"

"Aunt Sun, you are here!"

Sensing Aunt Sun's gaze, Zhong Xixi put down the bun and moved to the side, "Have you eaten yet? I'm a bit late for cooking, please sit down and eat together."

Is it really because you are too high-profile?

This is only the first meal here, the simple pimple soup attracts attention, after that, how can I explain it when I eat roast chicken or something?

"No, no, I ate at home."

Consciously losing her composure, Aunt Sun waved her hand quickly, remembering her purpose of coming here.

He hurriedly glanced out of the window again, approached and said in a low voice, "Auntie came here for no other purpose, but when I closed the door just now, I saw a dark shadow under the wall of your courtyard, sneaking its head into the courtyard all the time. I know what An is thinking.

You and Mumu are the only ones at home, be alert when you sleep at night, and shout if you have something to do, your uncle and I are at home. "

"Is there anyone outside?"

"It should be gone now. Seeing that someone is here, he must have left."

In the countryside, more things are worse than less things. Aunt Sun can pretend that she didn't see it, but she made a special trip, but she still guessed that the other party was stuttering because of this.

"Thank you, Aunt Sun."

Secretly scolding herself, Zhong Xixi turned around and took three eggs, "Take these back and give them a taste."

"No way, we've already eaten it, so you can save it and eat more with Mumu."

"Auntie, don't be polite to me, and I won't be polite to you either."

Worried that Aunt Sun would not accept it, Zhong Xixi stuffed it directly into Aunt Sun's hands, and said first, "I still have something to trouble you. I don't have any furniture at home except for the cabinet you sent me. I still want to invite Uncle Wang Help build a table, chair and bench."

Aunt Sun's man is a carpenter.

Now there is no finished furniture for sale, and anyone who adds new furniture will hire a carpenter to do it.

"I don't know when Uncle Wang will be free, but I have to trouble Aunt Sun to go back and ask. As for the price, we will pay according to what Uncle Wang usually offers for furniture."

Just buy small objects such as tables, chairs and benches, and ask yourself how long the queue will be.

The egg is considered to be a repayment of Aunt Sun's tip-off, and it is also a stepping stone to ask Uncle Wang to help break the furniture.

"This girl, why are you still talking about money? You are polite to my aunt."

"Let's return one size to one size. There are still many places where I have to trouble my aunt."

Speaking of this, Aunt Sun seemed a little deliberate if she continued to be polite, "Well, Xixi, your uncle's wages can be exchanged for brown sugar, and you can save this money to buy something else just in case."

"By the way, hold the door with a stick later, and call someone if anything happens!"
