"Okay, little demon, go and wash up! I'll cook for you. After you finish eating, go to school."
When Su Qing came to the door of the kitchen, she smelled a strong aroma of rice. She walked in suspiciously and found that there was a basket full of chopped scallion pancakes in the bamboo basket containing steamed buns on the kitchen counter.
The oil cake is shiny and very attractive.
Who did this?
Su Qing tore off a small piece, and it turned out to be a thousand-layer pancake. She couldn't help but put it in her mouth, wow! It's so fragrant! How come there is such a delicious scallion pancake!?
It must have been done by Liu Juncheng's mother, Aunt Qin Lan, and no one else.
Since Su Qing's grandparents passed away, Qin Lan would sometimes make delicious food and send it to her when she and Xiaomeng didn't eat well, such as dumplings, steamed buns or stewed meat, but this was the first time she made scallion pancakes.
The aroma of rice came from the small pot. Su Qing opened the lid and found that there was white rice porridge in the pot.
The kitchen was also wiped very clean, and the pots and pans that had been piled up in the past few days were also cleaned and put back in the cupboard.
Aunt Qinlan was so kind, Su Qing was sure that Qinlan did it, and she couldn't think of anyone else except her.
Su Qing first took out Chen Xiaomeng's lunch box, cleaned it, put on scallion pancakes and a few cucumber pickles, filled a thermos with hot water to cover it, and then walked into the living room with the remaining scallion pancakes and rice porridge pots and bowls.
Chen Xiaomeng walked in after washing up and curled her lips, "Sister Su Qing, why are you so fast? You didn't reheat the food in the refrigerator last night, did you?"
"Look!"
Su Qing opened the basket cloth.
"Scallion pancakes?" Chen Xiaomeng asked in surprise: "Can you make scallion pancakes?"
"Of course it wasn't me, it was Aunt Qinlan who did it."
"Amitabha, my life has finally improved..." Chen Xiaomeng clasped her hands together.
Su Qing looked at her murderously, "What? You think my cooking is not delicious?"
"No no……"
Su Qing snorted. Of course she was self-aware, "Little Guitou, I told you to go to the school cafeteria. You have to save money. You can't blame me."
Chen Xiaomeng laughed and said, "Sister Su Qing, you are actually much better than me. I can't even eat noodles."
"My grandparents are used to it. Sometimes I even suspect that you are their granddaughter."
Mentioning Grandpa Su, Chen Xiaomeng's little face suddenly turned cloudy. Sister Su Qing was right. They were really good to her, allowing her to enjoy care and love in the days when her parents were not around.
Su Qing sighed slightly, why didn't she miss her grandparents.
"Eat it, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Chen Xiaomeng picked up a piece of scallion pancake and put it in her mouth, her big eyes sparkling, "It's so delicious. Aunt Qin's cooking skills are great."
"I've put it in your lunch box too. Let's have this for lunch."
Soon Chen Xiaomeng finished eating and picked up her schoolbag in the hall, "I have to leave quickly, otherwise I won't be able to catch the bus at this time."
"Go ahead and be safe on the road."
"I got it." Chen Xiaomeng said as she ran out of the room.
Su Qing also finished her meal quickly, and there was no time to clean up. She also had to catch the next bus to go to work at the internship company in the city.
After taking the small bag and closing the door, she walked to the yard. She originally wanted to say thank you to Qin Lan, but seeing that her door was locked, she must have taken Liu Juncheng to school on an electric bike.
Qin Lan found a job in the county, which was near Yuying Middle School, so she picked up Liu Juncheng from and to get off work.
In the past, she took Chen Xiaomeng with her, and Xiaomeng and Liu Juncheng squeezed in to sit in the back. However, after entering the third grade, Chen Xiaomeng stopped sitting, citing the differences between men and women.
Today, Qin Lan had to leave early because he had something to do at work in the past two days, so he took Liu Juncheng away early in the morning.
Before leaving, Qin Lan subconsciously looked at Chen Feng's room, wondering why there was no movement last night?
These days, Chen Feng would come back drinking until early in the morning every day, yelling and yelling, and often knocking on her door. She hated and feared him.
There was no movement last night, which means he probably didn't come back to sleep.
It became more and more outrageous, and people began to stay up all night.
Alas! Chen Xiaomeng is so pitiful.
----------------
As expected, there were a lot of people coming to Good Buddy's restaurant to eat in the morning. Chen Feng arrived at the restaurant at six o'clock and was busy until nine o'clock.
Before Jia Peng came, Liu Yi and Chen Feng had breakfast together.
"Chen Feng, I'm going to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables. You can watch them in the store."
"No, I'll go ahead." Chen Feng looked at Liu Yi's arm.
"You can't leave. What if someone comes to eat again? It's okay. I have a special order and they will bring it to me after picking out the dishes."
"Okay, Uncle Liu, slow down on the road."
"It's okay, the vegetable market is very close."
After Liu Yi left, Chen Feng rarely had free time, so he picked up a canvas bag he brought and opened it.
I saw this canvas bag under the bed while cleaning today.
Since he promised Liu Yi to arrive early, Chen Feng certainly couldn't break his promise. He got up at four o'clock. He hadn't finished cleaning yesterday. He spent half an hour cleaning and then went to the kitchen of Su Qing's house. He wanted to give Su Qing and Chen Xiao
Meng made breakfast.
The kitchen was in a mess. The pots and pans were piled up in the pool. I don’t know how many days they had not been cleaned. The radishes in the plastic bags on the vegetable rack were all wet and exuded a stench. The onions and sweet potatoes were sprouting.
They are all as tall as Chen Xiaomeng.
Chen Feng was quite speechless. How were these two ladies living?
He had no choice but to clean up the kitchen before starting to make breakfast. There were no fresh vegetables, only two scallions and rice noodles and flour. He happened to unlock the scallion pancakes in his memory yesterday, so he decided to make a few scallion pancakes with scallions and flour.
.
It was almost half past five after breakfast, and he was ready to run to the restaurant.
He estimated last night that it would take almost half an hour to run from Jiushan Town to the Good Buddy Restaurant in Majadian.
Last night, I listened to the migrant workers who were eating and learned that they start work at seven in the morning and get up at six to eat, so he had to arrive at the restaurant before six.
There was a high probability that Chen Xiaomeng would come to him this morning to violently demand payment. Before leaving, he put a thousand yuan on the table in the room. Although he didn't know how much he took from his daughter, it was better than nothing.
Then he wanted to find a pair of sneakers from under the bed to put on, and then he saw the army green old canvas bag under the bed.
He opened it and saw several old items inside, as well as two kraft paper file bags.
I thought about taking it to a restaurant and looking at these things in my spare time. Maybe I could think of something.
So he brought this old canvas bag.
Among those old items, there is a pretty good mechanical watch that can still run after being wound. There is an old fountain pen, but the nib has been broken and cannot be used. There is also a patched rattle, one that has lost a lot of hair.
Stuffed bunny, this is probably my daughter’s toy when she was a child.
