Xu Qingzhi looked at the dumplings in front of her and Huo Fengyan's. They were surprisingly the same. If she denied it, it would be more obvious.
She simply said: "Well, he taught me how to make dumplings."
As long as the world of cultivating immortals is not mentioned, there is nothing to hide about these things, and it is not something to be ashamed of. Her frank attitude actually shows that she really has nothing else on her mind.
But Wang Yanmei and Xu Fuqiang on the side didn't think so.
Wang Yanmei remembered the last time she made buns, and she wondered why her daughter knew how to make buns.
What Qing Zhi said at that time was that she learned it in Zhoucheng.
How deep the relationship between these two children was at that time, so that they could make buns and dumplings together.
Why did the relationship break up later?
When the dumplings were wrapped, Xu Fuqiang helped carry them in and Wang Yanmei cooked them.
The two people avoided the children and began to bite their ears quietly again.
"After Xiao Huo left last time, I noticed that Qing Zhi was not very excited for a few days. I don't think you should stop him from doing this. Let him talk about it. Kyoto is far away, but
Nowadays, transportation is developed, so it is convenient for us to fly there." Wang Yanmei said.
Xu Fuqiang: "I didn't stop him. I just said that on purpose last time to test whether Xiao Huo's mind was firm or not. He was about to leave within two days after I said it. I thought he was scared away by me.
Okay, this matter has to be settled. Unexpectedly, this young man is here again today!"
Why did Wang Yanmei feel like she was gritting her teeth when she heard what her man said?
She punched her man in the arm and said, "You are so kind, little Huo. You must not do anything stupid again."
Xu Fuqiang was reluctant, frowned and said perfunctorily: "I know, I know."
The dumplings cook quickly. After they float, pour cold water three times before boiling them and you can fish them out.
Eighteen dumplings per person can’t be cooked in one pot.
Wang Yanmei let the children eat first, while she and Fu Qiang cooked the second pot.
It's getting dark.
"This dumpling is so delicious. It has a crunchy texture and is so fragrant when you take a bite. The chopped green onion is the soul of this dumpling." Zhang Qi ate it with relish.
Wang Yanmei heard it in the kitchen and asked: "Xiao Qi, do you have enough to eat? If not, auntie cooked some more and will get some for you later."
Zhang Qi took out a piece of paper and wiped his mouth. He completely regarded it as his own home and said politely: "Auntie, if there are more, please give me two more."
"Okay, you eat first." Wang Yanmei responded.
Zhang Qi's face was filled with a satisfied smile. Out of the corner of his eye, Mr. Huo suddenly turned to the side and forcefully pursed his lips to put away his arrogant smile.
A qualified migrant worker cannot make his boss feel that he is too comfortable here. Otherwise, if Mr. Huo does not give him a salary to help the Xu family, his mortgage will still have to be repaid with hard wages.
Xu Qingzhi made a lot of extra dumplings before and shouted: "Mom, cook more. I will finish it soon. I will take some with me when I deliver mooncakes to grandpa."
Wang Yanmei: "Okay."
Xu Qingzhi ate very quickly. The newly baked dumplings were cooked. She found a clean lunch box and packed twelve of them, and scooped out some noodle soup to prevent them from sticking together.
Zhang Qi and Jiang Zhan are still eating.
Huo Fengyan stood up: "I'll accompany you."
Zhang Qi immersed himself in eating dumplings, and Jiang Zhan immersed himself in eating dumplings.
Wang Yanmei and Xu Fuqiang looked up at the two people.
Xu Qingzhi: "I'm riding a tricycle, do you want to sit on it?"
"Yeah." Huo Fengyan nodded.
"Okay." Xu Qingzhi went to get the keys to the tricycle, found a bag to put the lunch box on, and took a box of four-month cakes. He said hello to the house: "Dad, Mom, let's go to Grandpa first."
That’s it.”
Wang Yanmei was still not sure whether she should let her daughter go like this at this time. She was stunned for two seconds before saying: "Okay, then... then you should pay attention to safety on the road. There are many snakes on the road after dark, so both of you should be careful.
Stay focused."
Xu Qingzhi had already gotten on the tricycle. Hearing the chatter in the room, he responded loudly: "I know."
The tricycle turned and drove towards Grandpa's small courtyard.
There is just room for two people in the front row of the tricycle, but the two people are a bit close to each other.
The wind at night is still a little warm, but as the car drives by, the cool breeze filtered through the trees and grass blows in, which makes people feel cool.
The frogs in the field were a bit noisy, but they seemed to be performing a symphony for the silence between the two people.
The two little ones from the aura space jumped out on their own.
Xu Qingzhi looked at the big cat being snuggled up comfortably in someone's arms with its little feet crossed, "I don't see you being so active when working."
Usually the two little ones lazily come out of the aura space. Sometimes when their parents ask, she only says that they went outside to play, and occasionally showing up a few times is enough to make their parents happy.
But as long as Feng Yan is there, the two little guys will be very active.
The crow flies beside it.
"Quack~" Master, you are talking nonsense, I am very active in my work.
The big cat responded lazily.
"Meow~" This meow works actively 1.
Huo Fengyan chuckled and joked: "I have lost weight, it seems I have a lot of work to do."
The crows chirped and shook out the chickens, ducks, pigs, vegetables, medicinal materials, and seedlings raised in the space, leaving nothing hidden.
The big cat added a few words, what kind of fish and what kind of flowers.
"That's really a lot." Huo Fengyan said.
Xu Qingzhi:......
Two traitors!
The tricycle drove all the way into the small courtyard, and Dahuang, who was squatting at the door, immediately became alert and shouted, "Woof woof woof~".
When Xu Qingzhi got off the car, Dahuang stopped barking, and his tail switched to propeller mode, shaking non-stop.
Xu Dongru is planning to have dinner.
I don’t plan to reheat the leftover rice and vegetables at noon. Anyway, on such a hot day, eating something cold will make you feel better.
Hearing something moving outside, he stood up and looked back.
"Qingzhi, why are you here?"
Xu Qingzhi took the lunch box out of the bag and placed it on the square high table. "I brought some dumplings for dinner tonight. There are also moon cakes in the bag. It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a while, so I made some moon cakes at home.
If you wait two days to eat the mooncakes, they will become softer."
The dumplings that had just come out of the pot were steaming, and the steam sucked the lid of the lunch box, making it a little difficult to open.
Xu Qingzhi opened it with some effort.
Heat is coming out of the lunch box.
"Eat a dumpling and bring it over. Don't worry about it." The old man said this, turned around, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, then went inside and pretended to pour water: "Do you want to drink honey?" p>
"No, grandpa, I'm not thirsty. Eat your dumplings quickly. They won't taste good when they're cold." Xu Qingzhi urged.
The old man still stubbornly poured two glasses of water with honey for the two of them.
When Huo Fengyan came during the day, his grandfather had already met him and given him some gifts.
While eating dumplings, the old man said to Qingzhi in a serious voice: "Xiao Huo is a good boy. Grandpa, don't worry if you marry him in the future."
Huo Fengyan raised his eyes.
Xu Qingzhi:......
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? I have no plans to get married."
"I'm talking about the future." The old man murmured: "Grandpa is almost eighty and is no longer useful. He can't take you to far away places to play. I will buy you all kinds of delicious food. Don't bother Grandpa.
I can see you marrying a good family before you die, and grandpa will feel relieved."
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? It's bad luck!" Xu Qingzhi frowned, not very happy, "Grandpa, hurry up and eat the dumplings. I'm going back to make mooncakes."
"Okay, if you have something to do, just do your business first and don't worry about me, old man."
Xu Qingzhi: "I'll come see you later. It's hot these days, so be careful not to get heatstroke when fishing."
"Yeah, grandpa knows."
Xu Qingzhi rode away on a tricycle.
Huo Fengyan wanted to help make mooncakes, so he also joined in.
The tricycle is halfway on the road.
Huo Fengyan asked in confusion: "Why doesn't grandpa live with you?"
In his impression, the elderly in the world cannot take care of themselves and live with their children.
Xu Qingzhi thought about it carefully and said: "My grandfather felt that the old man was despised by others. When my grandma was still here, he always asked me and my brother if we smelled anything when we entered the house and whether we would despise it.
They and other old people in the village are often disliked by their children. My grandpa has a stubborn temper and a strong self-esteem. He is afraid that we will dislike him and cause trouble to others, so he refuses to live together until death. And it is not during the holidays.
When he was there, even if he was called to eat, he would not come. He felt that it would be bad for his three sons to eat too much from any one of them."
"How about I take grandpa to Kyoto to take care of him?" Huo Fengyan asked.
Xu Qingzhi parked the tricycle on the side of the road, tilted her head and stared at him with a frown, as if declaring every word: "That's my grandpa!"
He is my grandpa, not yours.
Huo Fengyan: "Then I will take grandpa to visit Kyoto?"
"I will take grandpa to play later." Xu Qingzhi refused.
But...
Xu Qingzhi felt bad when she thought of the leftovers on the square table.
I thought I would find a job for my grandpa making pine cone ornaments, and if he made some money, his life would get better.
But she forgot that the old man is always used to saving money after making money, and is not willing to spend it at all.
