Looking up, he saw the suspicion in Shi Wangyue's eyes, and raised his eyebrows lightly, "What? You don't dare to eat the mutton I bought?"
"Don't dare." Shi Wangyue's eyes dodge.
After reacting, he laughed and said, "Why don't you dare to eat it? This meat looks very good to me, and the packaging is also very good..."
"The problem." Ning Youguang curled his lips and continued to explain while unpacking the box, "I bought this from a herdsman's live broadcast room. He said these sheep were raised by his own family. I don't know if he lied to me or not.
, However, I think no matter whether you cheat or not, it is not easy for the herdsmen. If you can support it, please support it. We all have to eat mutton anyway, and this price is also the general market price..."
"Yeah." Shi Wangyue nodded, "I'll take it apart later and take a look. If you can eat it, we can eat it. If you can't, don't leave it."
"Okay." Ning Youguang didn't care and had to eat the mutton.
If the mutton she bought was really bad and Shi Wangyue refused to eat it, she couldn't force him.
Everyone has his own set of standards for living.
She doesn't despise meat as "bad", so naturally she can't despise "him as denouncing meat as bad".
After all, children are more important than mutton.
She had to choose between the two, of course she would choose him.
Shi Wangyue was satisfied and continued to help unpack the express delivery.
I just happened to unpack a large box of mountain treasures bought by Ning Youguang.
He found that the packaging of this box of mountain delicacies was good, and he carefully looked at the categories inside, and found that there were velvet antler mushrooms, morels, Agaricus blazei, bamboo fungus, chanterelles, etc.
"This one you bought is very good." Shi Wangyue said, "It can be stir-fried, hot pot, stewed, and dried."
Ning Youguang turned to look at Shi Wangyue and the box in Shi Wangyue's hand, "Oh, then I have to thank you for your trouble."
——"When I bought these, I just thought they could be used to make soup. I didn't think of anything else."
Shi Wangyue smiled sullenly, "Okay, can I take it apart and look inside?"
"Tear it down, tear it down." Ning Youguang nodded generously.
Mr. Shi is indeed a good cook.
He is also a very particular person when it comes to grasping the ingredients.
Ning Youguang opened a new express box, and she felt happy as soon as she opened it.
He looked at the moon as he hurriedly said hello, "Look, what do I buy this for?"
While studying the quality of mountain delicacies, Shi Wangyue looked up and said in surprise, "Why did you buy an air fryer? Don't we have one?"
"I think the color of that pot doesn't match the color of our kitchen." Ning Youguang said, "And this one is different from the previous one. This is the latest version. Netizens say this is a magic weapon."
Shi Wangyue asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Ning Youguang held the newly purchased milky white air fryer and explained carefully, "It is said that you can put any vegetables, meat, or prawns in it, and it will be cooked anyway, and there is no need to add oil."
"?" Look at the moon.
If I remember correctly, the air fryer he bought her before seemed to have no oil in it.
In his heart, Xiao Jiujiu, Ning Youguang, cannot be seen.
She was asking enthusiastically, "What do you think of the texture of this pot?"
"good."
It's pretty good-looking.
Ning Youguang also felt extremely satisfied.
She pointed at the buttons on the pot and studied them while mumbling, "Steaks, vegetables, shrimps, chicken drumsticks, cakes... the temperature and time are all clearly marked. With two buttons, you can just throw things in and everything will be done. It's simple.
Convenient and very useful.”
Looking at the moon and looking at the sky speechlessly...
Forget it, he really couldn't place too high demands on culinary skills from people who could only stew soup, make coffee, fry eggs, fry hams and sausages, and mix them with boiling water to make a paste.
"Did you also buy it in the live broadcast room?"
"That's right." Ning Youhang said with a smile, "Two days ago, I was watching Grandma Xie's Douyin video. When I exited, I accidentally ended up in this live broadcast room. I saw that it was very popular and everyone was grabbing it.
I think the pot looks pretty good, so I grabbed one with just a swipe of my hand. It’s only ￥199, isn’t it a good deal?”
Shi Wangyue nodded and smiled sullenly, "It's very cost-effective."
Wait until the two of them have finished unpacking all the express packages.
Shi Wangyue discovered that most of what Ning Youguang bought was food, and the rest were red lanterns, spring couplets, door couplets, window grilles and other popular decorations.
"Celebrating the New Year means using all kinds of prosperous elements to light up every corner of the new home, so that we can have a home full of New Year flavor." Ning Youguang, holding a red lantern, said with a festive face.
“Our family celebrates the New Year, even if it’s just the two of us, the flavor of the New Year cannot be lost at all.”
"I will let the company go on holiday early this year." Shi Wangyue said, very moved, "so that I can go home early and decorate my home with you."
"You're busy, it doesn't matter if I decorate it alone." Ning Youguang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the pile of decorations in front of him, "As time goes by, everyone's New Year customs are becoming more and more streamlined. Many people
Even the expectations for the New Year have been streamlined, and the sense of ritual of the New Year in childhood memories has gradually disappeared. However, I feel that the strong flavor of the New Year in our country is precisely hidden in these ritualistic customs.
Moreover, a large part of the sense of ritual related to the New Year is also hidden in these New Year’s goods.”
She pointed to the New Year's goods she bought, "Our daily life can be very simple, but we still have to guard these rituals during the New Year and holidays. Otherwise, after n years, I don't know how many children in China will be able to experience it."
It has reached the point where we could feel the strong flavor of the New Year when we were young, but we don’t know how much happiness we will lose.”
Listen carefully to what she is saying.
Shi Wangyue became more determined to let the entire company take an early holiday.
"It's holiday, let's go to the flower and bird market to buy flowers."
"Okay." Ning Youguang smiled, "I originally planned to go by myself tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
…
When rearranging the unpacked New Year’s goods.
Shi Wangyue's eyes were caught off guard and landed on a bag of small cookies in the shape of stars and moons held in Ning Youguang's hand.
"The cookies in your hand..." He said dumbly.
"The cookies in my hand?" Ning Youguang was confused by Shi Wangyue's expression, "What's wrong?"
"Isn't this the kind we had when we were kids?" Shi Wangyue walked up to Ning Youguang.
He took the bag of biscuits from her hand and held it in his hand, looking at it with complicated eyes.
"This is the kind we used to eat when we were kids. This is the first time I saw this thing on the Internet in so many years, and I bought it immediately." Ning Youguang explained and then asked, "What did this little biscuit arouse to you?"
Do you remember it?"
"Yeah." Shi Wangyue's eyes were filled with a little gloom, "I liked eating this biscuit very much when I was a child... and then... I haven't eaten it since."
"Why didn't you eat it later?" Ning Youguang hugged Shi Wangyue, who was suddenly depressed, and asked gently, "Did something unhappy happen?"
"Yes." Shi Wangyue put one arm around Ning Youguang's waist, "At first, the children at home didn't like to eat this biscuit, but I like to eat it. If my family buys this biscuit every Chinese New Year, I can eat a lot. Later,
For some reason, other children in the family started to like eating it again. I...my mother...she asked me not to eat it. She said she wanted me to leave it to others. After that, I never ate it again.
Here’s the cookie.”
Ning Youguang felt like his heart was about to break.
Shi Wangyue, the speaker, had no red eyes.
But she cried.
However, at this moment, she didn't want him to see her cry.
She buried her face deeply in his arms through the hugging gesture.
When he got off work in winter, Wangyue was wearing a lot of clothes, and Ning Youguang was very careful not to let the tears get to him, so he didn't know that the person in his arms was crying with distress, but it didn't stop him from knowing that she would feel sorry for him.
"It's okay, it's all over." He smiled pretending to be humorous, "Don't many people say that the advantage of growing up is that you can make up for the regrets you had when you were a child? You are now making up for the regrets I had when I was a child."
The more he pretended to be relieved, the more distressed Ning Youguang became.
for a long time.
She then asked softly, "Dear, when you were told that your favorite biscuit could no longer be eaten, were you secretly sad for a long time?"
When I looked at the moon, my whole body trembled.
After a long while, he replied with a dry voice, "Yes, I seldom buy those kind of biscuits at home, and only eat them during the Chinese New Year... So, I secretly cried about it for a long time."
To this day, the sadness and sorrow are still clearly visible.
That's why when he suddenly saw the package of star-and-moon shaped biscuits in her hand, he felt so out of control.
A person's joys, sorrows and joys when he was a child are very simple.
As long as it is something you like, you will be happy for a long time if you get it.
Even a bag of cookies.
Not to mention that they are children’s favorite biscuits.
So, how sad must it be when he is suddenly not allowed to have it because other children in the family like it? How sad?
She understands so well the feeling of lack when she was a child, when she couldn't get something, and then suddenly lost it after gaining something.
This feeling will remain clearly in the bottom of my heart, slowly growing dark vines, entangling the originally soft heart, making it hard, cold, and claws, and it will come out to bite me from time to time.
The pain is unpredictable, but it will always hurt.
He pretended to be humorous and said, "The advantage of growing up is that it can make up for the regrets of childhood."
Actually no.
For everyone, most of the so-called losses and regrets will become permanent losses and regrets.
Times have changed and things have changed.
No matter how much you have the ability to obtain something, even if it is exactly the same thing, for this person who has lost it before, it will no longer have the joy of being realized that you once expected.
Ning Youguang didn't dare to think about it in detail. The more she thought about it, the more unbearable the pain in her heart became.
"I really want to go back to my childhood." She felt sad and wanted to cry. "I really want to give you so many of your favorite cookies."
I really want to hate Liu Susu and why she treats you so hard.
I really want to blame myself for not caring about you more.
