[736] The people live on food

"Huh? Uncle Ye, you haven't left yet? What are you doing on your knees and talking to your mother (⊙_⊙?)"

Xiaoqin, who came back from buying canned oranges, was anxious to ask Aunt Ren for credit, and pushed the door towards Aunt Ren's bedroom without saying hello, only to see my father kneeling in front of Aunt Ren, holding a diamond ring and proposing!

My father and Aunt Ren both had ghosts in their hearts, and the embarrassing scene at this time was seen by Xiaoqin, both of them were a little flustered, and Aunt Ren hurriedly said:

"Didn't, didn't do anything! There is a similar action in the crew, I was in a hurry to catch up with the filming schedule after I was discharged from the hospital, and I wanted your Uncle Ye to help put on a pose and think about the action design! ”

Xiaoqin blinked, "But Mom, you're a martial arts instructor!" This action looks a bit like ...... It's kind of like a marriage proposal! weishenme's marriage proposal action needs to be designed by you, mom! ”

Aunt Ren was also a little anxious, "Because after the marriage proposal, the female character immediately kicked the male character away!" So it's a martial arts move! That's where I should! ”

"Is that so?" Xiaoqin was skeptical, "Where did this diamond ring come from?" Is it a crew prop? According to the background setting of the play "The Legend of the Demon Ding", it seems that there is no custom of giving a diamond ring when proposing, right? ”

"That's because ......"

Dad saw Aunt Ren stammering, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make up a lie, so he quickly took over the conversation: "That's right, we are acting!" But it's not about acting in your mother's crew, it's that I'm going to propose to someone else, and I don't have confidence, so I'll rehearse it for your mother......"

"Huh? Hasn't Aunt Xiaojuan agreed to your marriage proposal yet? Xiaoqin frowned suspiciously, "If it were me, I would have waited for 14 years, and the other party would have pounced as soon as he opened his mouth, how could I still use a diamond ring......"

Xiaoqin turned around and put the shopping bag on the table, and the father, who was half-kneeling and wanted to get up, was pinched by Aunt Ren's ears from the side, and asked in a low voice with a dark face: "It turns out that you still want to marry someone else, right?" It turned out that it was just a rehearsal with me......"

Dad couldn't complain of pain when his ears were choked, so he had to reply in the same low voice: "It's just an expedient measure!" If you agree to my marriage proposal, I will tell Xiaoqin now, but if you don't give me an accurate answer, how can I tell Xiaoqin about our relationship? Could it be that the two of us just slept together...... Yes! Stop pinching! ”

Because of Xiaoqin's sudden intrusion, Aunt Ren felt that the atmosphere of the marriage proposal had been broken, so she didn't plan to give her father any reply.

"Uncle Ye," Xiaoqin took two cans of heat-relieving drinks from the refrigerator for her father and Aunt Ren to drink, and said to her father a little worriedly, "You made a marriage proposal to my mother, if you are misunderstood, how bad it is, if it reaches Aunt Xiaojuan's ears, it will definitely make her sad!" ”

Preconceived + empathy for Xiaojuan's infatuation, Xiaoqin already thinks that my father and Aunt Xiaojuan are a couple from the bottom of her heart, and she doesn't think too much about the very suspicious pair of men and women in front of her.

"I know, I won't do anything that is easy to misunderstand in the future." Dad promised Xiaoqin, then turned around and asked Aunt Ren, "If it's okay, I'll leave first today?" ”

"Don't go!" Aunt Ren suddenly said.

"That'...... What do you need me to stay and do? "The weak-hearted father is still in a hurry to retreat.

"You stay and cook!" Aunt Ren ordered non-negotiable, "I will cooperate with you...... With your rehearsal proposal, didn't you promise to cook for us in exchange? ”

"Mom," Xiaoqin persuaded on the side, "Let's let Uncle Ye go back first, in case Aunt Xiaojuan or classmate Ye Lin are in a hurry, it won't be good." I can cook dinner, I've been practicing my cooking skills, and I'll cook some delicious and nutritious dishes for my mother! ”

"I want to eat his food today!" Aunt Ren glared at my father very unreasonably, "Moreover, it's almost the day when Xiaoqin is going to have a stomachache, right?" Don't get cold water on your hands! ”

Seeing that her mother insisted again and again and did not back down, Xiaoqin had no choice but to ask her father daoqian on behalf of Aunt Ren:

"Uncle Ye, I'm sorry, my mother was just discharged from the hospital and was in a bad mood, please don't be angry with my mother......"

"Don't ask him daoqian!" Aunt Ren interrupted Xiaoqin unhappily, "You don't have to be very polite to him in the future, anyway, he didn't be polite to me......"

I didn't say anything halfway through the words, only the two of them knew what they were referring to, and Xiaoqin stood in the middle and was stunned.

"That's right," my father lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Your mother and I have been old neighbors for many years, and you and Xiaolin have grown up together since childhood, you are too foreign to me with honorific titles, don't call 'you, you' in the future." ”

"How's that going to work!" Xiaoqin was surprised, "Ye Lin also calls my mother by honorific titles!" ”

"You don't have to care," Aunt Ren said beside her, "You can talk to Uncle Ye as much as you usually talk to me, and Ye Lin is the same to me." ”

Dad was overjoyed, thinking that Aunt Ren had special significance in making this decision, but Aunt Ren turned her face away and didn't let Dad read her mind.

"Isn't that okay?" Xiaoqin always felt that the elders were weird during this time, as if something was full of herself, "What if classmate Ye Lin sees that I don't need to be respectful to his father and thinks I'm rude?" ”

"Xiaolin's side is absolutely fine!" Dad insisted and said, "Try it now, don't need to be honorific, say hello to me!" ”

Seeing that her mother and Uncle Ye were insisting, Xiaoqin had no choice but to speak, "Uncle Ye, you...... Hello. ”

The eyelashes blinked and blinked, and his face was full of doubt, as if something ethereal had been lost from the words.

Dad felt that Aunt Ren asked Xiaoqin to be polite to him, which was a kind response to his marriage proposal, because it is very important for a remarried family to have a good relationship with their stepchildren.

Aunt Ren doesn't necessarily think so, maybe she just feels that she has let the other party sleep, and then she sees her children respectfully with each other, and her heart is very unbalanced.

If you think about it carefully, completely objectively speaking, my dad has already said the famous three-character national scolding to Xiaoqin in terms of action, Xiaoqin has been scolded like a VIP by this kind of scolding, Xiaoqin's mother is watching from the side, of course she can't swallow this breath!

So my dad was left to cook.

Dad's cooking skills are only stronger than the canteen of Twenty-Eight Middle School, and he can only ensure that there are no stones in the rice, no flies in the beans, and meat in the fried meat with green peppers.

So my dad feels that it is a lot of pressure to cook for Aunt Ren's mother and daughter! Dad has eaten the sea cucumber stewed bamboo shoots chicken sent by Xiaoqin, and knows that Aunt Ren and Xiaoqin's cooking skills are much better than his own.

Fighting brothers, fathers and sons, my father felt that at this moment, the arduousness of the task was not inferior to going to the battlefield, so he called me and asked me to help in the emergency.

So I just finished lunch at the squad leader's house, and before I stayed for a while, I took a taxi to Xiaoqin's house, planning to prepare a dinner for Xiaoqin's mother and daughter by our father and son.

Chinese people really take food as the sky, today I didn't do anything else, just revolving around food.

However, there is a difference between eating at noon and cooking in the afternoon.

Knowing that I was almost there, my father came downstairs to pick me up and was going to buy some food with me at the vegetable market downstairs.

On this side of Red House North Street, some of the residents are relocated from the former miscellaneous courtyard, and my father has not changed much over the years, and was recognized by an old lady.

"Yo, isn't this Teacher Ye?"

Because my dad also ran cram schools for a while when he just left college, some of my old neighbors liked to be called teachers.

"Hey, I'm glad to be lucky, it's Aunt Wang, right?" My dad actually remembered what the other party's last name was.

The old lady was smiling and was about to ask how my father was doing, when she suddenly saw me get out of the taxi and walk to my father's side.

I was not impressed by Aunt Wang, and I was about to open my mouth to ask my father to introduce it on my behalf, but when I saw Aunt Wang's face change greatly, I exclaimed: "This ...... Could this be your son!? How did he ruin ...... Got a facelift? ”

Who has plastic surgery! Who's going to have plastic surgery like me! You always think I'm disfigured, just say it!

Dad said a perfunctory sentence, so Aunt Wang sighed, with the deep regret that Xiao Zhengtai, who was in her prime and now has grown into a murderer, waved goodbye to us, and we were able to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

When I arrived at the vegetable market, I carefully recalled the dishes cooked by the class leader today, and thought if there was anything simple and easy to make that I could use to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha.

After recalling for a long time, I feel that it is easy to make fried dried shrimp and green vegetables and vegetarian fried three silks, because dried shrimp and green vegetables are mainly seasoned with minced garlic and dried shrimp, and stir-fried green vegetables are added, and it is simpler to stir-fry three silk vegetarian vegetables, as long as the shredded bracken, celery shreds, and bamboo shoots are scalded with boiling water and fried together.

At my suggestion, my dad first bought the ingredients for these two dishes, but ignored the basic rules of cooking - the simpler the ingredients and methods, the more the craftsmanship is tested.

But in any case, Aunt Ren has just been discharged from the hospital, although she can't eat big fish and meat, she always has to eat something nutritious, right? I can't buy hand-rolled noodles for four people, I'll go back with my dad, let's give it to Xiaoqin and Aunt Ren!

Because I had just tasted the class leader's craftsmanship, I had blind confidence, and I didn't consider that I and my father were fighting against each other in terms of cooking, so I was very optimistic and bought some common ingredients and prepared to go back to show my cooking skills.

Speaking of the vegetable market downstairs of Xiaoqin's house, we can't fail to mention the shoe repair uncle who has a strong sense of existence in the vegetable market.

Once sold to Xiaoqin eavesdroppers, former National Defense Security Agency leavers, especially good at putting all kinds of bugs in shoes, for some reason with the leader fell out, is now hidden in the city, to repair shoes for a living, but every day at five o'clock punctual work, and every time close to his shoe repair hut, you can hear him scolding the Chinese football on TV.

"Stupid! A bunch of idiots! It's black for another three minutes! The stupidity of the Chinese men's football team is genetic! ”

As my dad and I walked by, we heard the shoe repairer scolding at the TV in the house.

"Iraq is so messy that you need to bring a submachine gun to buy groceries, so that everyone can win the championship! You guys eat! ”

"Look at North Korea again! The North Korean men's football team has a lot of enthusiasm to play! You should all be sent to Mt. Kumgang in North Korea to dig coal! ”

"When digging coal, by the way, bring my map to the North Korean leader! Let them quickly destroy the US military's nuclear facilities on the peninsula and avenge my comrades-in-arms of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia! ”

Wow, Uncle Shoe Repair, you're too loud! Fortunately, there are no foreign traitors here, and no one has any contact with the United States or the South Korean government, otherwise it would be dangerous for you to say such things!
