I agreed and went. Looking back, I saw that my aunt was busy serving porridge and had no time to pay attention to the TV. I put the phone in my pocket and came to the door of grandma's room.
"——Dong Dong"
"Grandma, wake up."
I pushed the door open and went in, and saw my grandma lying on the bed reading a book. Grandma took off her glasses and said to me, "You and your aunt will eat first, and I will lie down for a while."
"Um."
I promised and was about to close the door when my grandma said, "Don't make your aunt angry again. If you do it again, see how I deal with you. Go out." I gave a false smile and asked a few more times before exiting the door.
I thought to myself that my grandma’s ears were not very good. I didn’t know how many times I had been scolded. I turned around and sat down in the restaurant. I looked around the table to see if there were any meat dishes. Of course, there were plates of pickles and tofu.
Braised, blanched green bamboo shoots, and salted eggs.
"Be careful of the porridge being hot."
My aunt brought a bowl of preserved egg porridge and put it in front of me. Then she took out the container with the lid on from the microwave and put it on the table farthest from me.
Seeing my aunt put the buttoned porcelain bowl so far away from me, I wondered. Usually, any good food can't be placed near me so that I can pick up the food. Why is it introduced today?
I asked my aunt: "What is that, a vegetable?"
My aunt smiled and slightly opened the lidded bowl. Suddenly, a long-lost fragrance hit my face, instantly stimulating every taste bud in my mind.
"It's braised pork!" I shouted with joy.
I thought to myself: My aunt hasn't made this for a long time, and today I finally got it. The last time I ate it was on my birthday, and she happily made a big plate for me. I can't forget the taste.
After recalling - I was so happy that I quickly stood up and walked around the table to approach the plate of braised pork. My aunt unhurriedly closed the lidded bowl, stood between me and the braised pork, and said to me: "Want to eat?"
I was as anxious as a chicken pecking at broken rice, nodding my head and swallowing saliva. I hadn’t eaten meat for a week, and I wanted to mix the braised pork with the thick, fragrant meat right away.
The rice is delicious! But the reality is cruel. The aunt standing in front of me is smiling, as if she has other plans.
I said anxiously: "What are you doing? Let me eat."
My aunt pushed me down on the chair, smiled at me with her lips pursed, and then said, "Why are you so greedy? Who do you look like? It's easy to eat if you want. Just promise my aunt two things."
I looked at the tureen holding the braised pork, swallowed my saliva, and said, "Whatever the conditions are, as long as it doesn't cost me my life, I can do anything."
My aunt stretched out her hand and moved the braised pork towards me and said to me: "It's because of my stuttering. Looking at your anxious look, I know you are greedy, but those who don't know think I am abusing you every day."
As she said that, my aunt slightly lifted the bowl, picked out a piece of meat with chopsticks, and brought it to my mouth. The piece of braised pork trembled slightly in front of my eyes, as if calling me to eat it quickly.
I couldn't help it, and while swallowing my saliva, I said in a hoarse voice: "Hey, aunt, don't be like this. Just tell me something if you have something to say, please!" As I said that, I pretended not to care, and when my aunt wasn't paying attention, I hit her hard with a dolphin.
The braised pork went into my mouth, but before I could taste it, it slipped into my stomach. I smacked my lips and asked my aunt, "Can you have a piece of it?" My aunt said angrily: "You are not afraid of choking, I am.
This thing is just for you to eat. Your grandma and I have had a bite, so take it and eat it slowly."
My aunt pushed the braised pork in front of me. I was satisfied, and while eating a big piece, I said: "It will be more delicious if you eat it with rice." The aunt moved all the dishes on the table towards me, and then
explain:
"Don't think about good things, you haven't agreed to my two conditions yet."
I put down my chopsticks and asked, "What are the conditions?"
My aunt's expression became melancholy, she put down her chopsticks, looked at me and said, "You have recovered in the past few days, and you will go back to work in a few days. Can you promise me not to go to places like casinos again...
..”
Looking at my aunt's sincere eyes, I know that she has wanted to say this for a long time. Because my body has not recovered a few days ago, I have been holding back and said it. Today, I can't make my aunt worry anymore, so I think about it and say it solemnly.
:
"Yes! Zhang Haonan promised my aunt that he would never enter a casino again. What else is there?"
When my aunt heard my promise, she smiled happily at first; then her eyes filled with tears, she lowered her head, covered her mouth with her hands and sobbed slightly. Seeing my aunt like this, I was overwhelmed and stood there. After a while, my aunt was dry.
With tears in the corners of my eyes, I said to me again: "From now on, you must be home before 8pm after work, okay?"
I heard my aunt tell me to get home at 8pm, and I thought to myself: Isn't this a disguised form of not letting me go to the Internet cafe? How could this be possible? But seeing how worried my aunt was, I couldn't refuse the call directly, so I had to change the topic.
, and said to my aunt: "Auntie, when did you cook the braised pork? Why didn't I know? You didn't even let me smell it. You did a great job of keeping it secret." My aunt didn't understand at first and said to me: "That's right.
When you slept like a pig, I got up at 4 o'clock in the morning to make it for you, and said..." Before I could say anything else, my aunt realized that I didn't want to go home before 8 o'clock in the evening, so
Prevaricate her.
"If you don't want to, just pull me down, huh--" My aunt turned away and ignored me.
I saw that the bowl of porridge in front of my aunt's table had not been moved, and then I looked at her slender shoulders, and I thought to myself: She eats too little, how can this go on? I can't make my aunt unhappy anymore.
"Auntie, don't be angry, can't I listen to you?" I pulled up the chair, approached my auntie, and said casually: "Okay, auntie, don't be like this, you can't give me any room for negotiation, please.
Okay, let’s eat some more..."
Under my ink marks including body language, my aunt finally opened her mouth, smiled scornfully, turned around and said to me: "Then what do you want to do? If you don't listen to me anyway, I won't eat it."
"Don't bother." I said hurriedly: "It's easy to discuss. Auntie, you see it is like this. I am not a big girl in the family. How can there be any reason why a young man must go home before 8 o'clock in the evening? Besides:'
Auntie, why did you ask me to go home so early? Why don't you make you and grandma more angry?'"
After hearing what I said, my aunt lowered her head and thought for a while, nodded, and said to me: "Then you must go home before 8:30 pm."
I saw there was a door open, so I said: "11 o'clock in the evening, fixed price!"
My aunt was so smart. She guessed my ruse just by listening to my voice. She didn't allow me to quibble. She suddenly stretched out her hand and pinched the flesh of my waist. She squeezed the flesh of my waist and pressed hard, which made me beg for help in pain.
My aunt smiled and said, "I'm still negotiating with my aunt about the terms. I'll listen to what you say."
It hurt so much that I quickly said: "10:30, okay? Ouch, auntie, please squeeze it gently."
My aunt shook her head and still disagreed, and continued to hurt me.
I impeccably begged: "It's easy to discuss, it's easy to discuss, please be gentle first."
