"Jin Bao?" Jiang Yun was surprised, "Why did you get up so early? What are you doing?"
Jinbao was obviously startled by him, and the hand holding the flour trembled. But when she turned around and saw that the person coming was Jiang Yun, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out to be Brother Ayun, I'm making breakfast."
"Make breakfast? Why do you have to get up so early to make breakfast? Can't you sleep?"
Jinbao put the flour in a basin, poured a few spoons of water into it, and while stirring, said: "Made for Yao Hua!
Yao Hua's parents are doctors. Even if Aunt Yang doesn't make breakfast, he will definitely eat from the canteen of the health center. You can buy all kinds of steamed buns and fried dough sticks in the canteen. Now he has come all the way to a remote place like ours...
You also know how terrible the breakfast of the production team is, how can he get used to it?"
After saying that, as if she was afraid that Jiang Yun would tell anyone, she added: "This matter is a secret. You can't tell others, especially my father. He will definitely be angry if he hears it."
Jiang Yun felt his heart congested, and a feeling of jealousy spread in his chest.
"Jin Bao," he asked, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, "you like Yao Hua very much, right?"
"Of course I do. He is my best friend. When I was a baby, he stayed with me every day and told me stories... Of course, I don't remember these things. My parents told me
Yes, since I can remember, Yao Hua would be sent to my house by his mother every morning, and he would chat with me every day. At that time, I spent more time with him than my brother."
"So that's it. Ever since we were little, we have been our best friends."
Jiang Yun still held a touch of lucky expectation in her heart, thinking that Jinbao was still young and didn't understand what love between men and women meant. She just regarded Yao Hua as her best friend, not a member of the opposite sex.
"He is a good friend of yours, Jinbao, and he is also mine..." At this point, Jiang Yun stepped forward, "Is there anything you can do to help? I'll help you faster."
"Please help me cook porridge. I want to cook carrot, parsley, egg porridge, and make scallion pancakes," Jin Bao said and sighed, "Hey, there are too few vegetables at home. I have to go to town to buy more today.
"
She wanted to make steamed eggs with tofu, but there was no tofu.
It would be great if you have a stone mill at home. Not only can you make tofu, but you can also grind soy milk...
Jinbao was still kneading the dough in his hands and was already thinking about what he would do tomorrow. It would be best not to repeat what he did today.
It’s really inconvenient to buy vegetables in the village, and buying meat in the town won’t last long, but it doesn’t take too long for the family to go to town. As long as she works hard, it only takes more than one round trip every day on Xiaobai’s bike.
Hour.
After thinking randomly for a while, she kneaded the dough in her hand into evenly sized balls, then spread lard on the cutting board, spread the small dough, and rolled it into a piece of dough with a rolling pin.
Then it’s time to chop the onions…
All steps were completed almost in one go, without any hesitation.
Seeing her skillful look, Jiang Yun was a little surprised, "Jin Bao, I haven't seen you cooking much. Why do you feel like you can roll out noodles faster than Aunt Bai?"
"I've seen too much, so naturally I can do it."
Jin Bao remembered that he used to eat takeout every day. Those takeaways were made of synthetic food packets. If he ate too much, he would feel nauseated. He would throw away the food after taking two bites at a time.
In order to stop eating takeout, she downloaded a bunch of cooking apps for a while and studied many dishes. Not only can she fry, stir-fry, stew, and stew, she is also very good at making pasta, and she can also make cakes.
When you devote yourself to cooking delicious food, you feel particularly peaceful and can heal yourself from the fatigue caused by work.
But then she was promoted and started to lead the team, and her work became more and more busy. She squeezed time to complete Party A's tasks. When others left, she had to stay in the office and stay up late for fear that she would not be able to complete the tasks. Staying up all night became a common occurrence.
Started eating takeout again.
Thinking of those painful and tiring days in the past, Jin Bao couldn't help but frown.
Jiang Yun thought it was his questions that annoyed her and didn't ask any more questions.
Before dawn, the porridge and scallion pancakes were ready.
Jin Bao first filled a bowl of carrot, parsley, and egg porridge and handed it to Jiang Yun, "Brother Ayun, taste it first, be careful not to burn it."
Jiang Yun took the spoon and took a taste, "It's delicious, very fresh. It's the umami flavor of eggs, mixed with the sweetness of carrots. After one bite, there's the aroma of celery on your lips and teeth, coupled with the right saltiness of salt, it's really
It’s delicious…”
"Brother Ayun, you can become a food reviewer." Jinbao said with a smile.
She also filled a bowl of porridge herself and thought it tasted really good.
After eating, she found a tray, put the porridge and scallion pancakes, and prepared to go to the educated youth dormitory.
Although the roosters haven't started crowing yet, the sky is already much brighter than before, so seeing the road is not a problem at all.
"Jin Bao, don't accidentally burn yourself. Otherwise, why don't I send you there?"
"I will be careful, Brother Ayun, don't worry..."
Speaking of this, something seemed to suddenly occur to him, and Jin Bao said again: "Yes, there is still a lot of porridge in the pot. If my mother comes downstairs and asks you who cooked it, just say you cooked it, okay? Don't
Say it's me."
"Ah? But isn't it bad to lie to Aunt Bai like this?" Jiang Yun frowned, with a confused look on his face.
"You're not lying to Mom. You did cook the porridge. I just added something to it." As if he was afraid that Jiang Yun would disagree, Jin Bao added, "This is a secret between the two of us."
.”
Jiang Yun's eyes became infinitely softer.
"Um……"
After saying that, he watched Jin Bao disappear from sight.
Jin Bao stood alone on the balcony last night to confirm which room Yao Hua lived in.
She remembered that less than twenty minutes after her fourth brother sent Yao Hua back, there was a yellow light on the left hand side of the second floor.
Thinking of this, Jin Bao walked to the independent room in the middle of the second floor of the educated youth dormitory, holding breakfast in one hand, gently pushing open the door on the left with the other hand, and then quietly placed the breakfast on the table.
Confirm first...
Jin Bao was afraid that he had gone to the wrong room, so he tiptoed to the bed and lowered his head to look at the bed.
Yao Hua didn't sleep well during the train ride these days. He fell asleep late at night because he was thinking about Jin Bao. Now he was sleeping deeply, with long and thick eyelashes curled up on his handsome face.
Like two small brushes, the cheeks are flushed with the blush of sleeping...
In his memory, Jin Bao seemed to rarely see him sleeping soundly, and couldn't bear to wake him up for a while.
Just when she was planning to sit on the chair next to her temporarily, and wait until he woke up naturally, she didn't expect that he suddenly opened his eyes, and their eyes met for a moment. Jin Bao was a little stunned, and subconsciously shrank back.
"Don't leave," Yao Hua grabbed Jin Bao's wrist, "I dreamed of you again, please stay with me a little longer this time."
Dream? Jin Bao was still a little dazed. She felt a sudden force on her wrist pulling her to the bed. Before she could react, she was dragged to the bed by Yao Hua and held tightly in his arms.
