Tomorrow is the day when Liu Xiazhi starts school. Unlike her brother Liu Zhiyue, the elementary school does not start early, but starts normally on September 1st.
In order to celebrate his daughter's promotion to fifth grade, Liu Changqing took his daughter to buy a new backpack.
It is a black schoolbag, but it is not printed with cartoon patterns, but a small leather schoolbag like the one you buy in a specialty store.
Liu Xiazhi loved her new schoolbag so much that she sat in the back seat of the car and couldn't wait to put on the backpack. She would ask Liu Changqing from time to time.
"Does it look good?"
"It's beautiful, my daughter is the most beautiful in the world!"
Hearing his father's answer, Liu Xiazhi covered her mouth with her hands and laughed.
She is obviously very satisfied with the new small schoolbag she bought.
While driving the car, Liu Changqing glanced at An Yuanyao beside him, thought for a moment, and thanked him softly.
"Thank you. If you hadn't taken us there, I wouldn't have known where such small schoolbags could be sold."
"As long as Xia Zhi likes it."
An Yuanyao responded softly.
There was no need to go to the company on Sunday. If Liu Changqing hadn't called her suddenly, she might still be at home now.
There is really no need to go out alone.
After Liu Changqing heard what An Yuanyao said, he continued to ask.
"Now that we're all out, let's go straight to dinner."
"Um……"
After hearing Liu Changqing's words, An Yuanyao thought for a while.
Ever since she helped Liu Changqing work, she had been eating out. No matter how much delicious food she ate, she felt a little bored.
An Yuanyao remembered that Liu Changqing's cooking skills were very good, and she had asked him for some advice before.
Thinking of this, there was a smile on his face.
"How about eating what you made this time."
"Eat what I cook?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Changqing was stunned for a moment, but did not object.
nodded.
"Okay, let's go to the vegetable market first."
After saying this, Liu Changqing drove the car towards the market.
After finding a random place to stop, he put on the handbrake and turned off the engine, Liu Changqing turned to Liu Xiazhi in the back seat and said.
"You sit in the car and don't run around, do you hear me?"
"I got it!"
"Okay, let's go down then."
This sentence was said to An Yuanyao on the side.
After nodding, An Yuanyao turned on her seat belt, got out of the car, and followed Liu Changqing into the market.
This time period is no longer as hot as the time in the morning. Even so, An Yuanyao still finds it very novel.
Following Liu Changqing, he kept looking around.
Looking back, Liu Changqing noticed An Yuanyao's appearance and asked with a chuckle.
"Have you never been to a place like this?"
"Well, this is the first time."
"Then where did you go to buy groceries?"
"Supermarket!"
"Okay...I don't really like going to the supermarket to buy."
Liu Changqing said this.
If you want to compare with supermarkets, you can go to the vegetable market if you can. If there is really no other way, Liu Changqing will choose to go to the supermarket to buy.
Probably because of the habit I developed in the past, I always feel that compared to supermarkets, the products in the market are a little fresher.
When he came to the chicken selling place, Liu Changqing walked up and said to the boss.
"Old Zhang, pick one for me to kill!"
"Hey, are you here today? I haven't seen you here for a while!"
Hearing Liu Changqing's voice, the boss pretended to be very surprised.
He did know Liu Changqing, although he couldn't say how familiar he was, but he went to his house to buy chickens every time, so he naturally became a little familiar with him.
Liu Changqing handed over a cigarette, and the other party took it and lit it.
He took a sip and spit it out. He noticed An Yuanyao covering his nose with his hand behind Liu Changqing, and his face was stunned.
Then he looked at Liu Changqing and asked.
"Is this your wife?"
"Don't talk nonsense, um...just kill one for me and deal with it cleanly."
"sure!"
Hearing Liu Changqing's words, the boss smiled.
He looked at Anyuan Yao again, and then said to Liu Changqing with a smile.
"Okay, I'll choose the best one for you!"
With that said, he walked to the chicken coop, looked around for a while, pulled out one, raised his hand towards Liu Changqing, and shouted.
"Will this one work?"
"That's it!"
"okay!"
After saying that, he went to deal with the struggling chicken in his hand.
Although An Yuanyao couldn't bear the smell around her, she didn't say much. She just stood behind Liu Changqing and followed his gaze to look at the boss who was killing the chicken.
Seeing the boss's sharp move with a knife on the chicken's neck, An Yuanyao subconsciously reached out and grabbed Liu Changqing.
Feeling something strange on her waist, Liu Changqing turned around and looked at her in surprise.
He could see that the other party was scared, but this could not hide the fact that the other party had buckled his belt.
There was some helplessness in his tone.
"If you're scared, just turn your head and look away. You're pulling on my belt, and I feel a little bit panicked..."
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
Exclaiming in surprise, An Yuanyao noticed this wrong move, quickly let go of her hand and turned around.
He asked after a while.
"You...do you come here often?"
"It's okay. Whenever I'm cooking at home, I usually come here to buy... The smell is a bit unpleasant. If you feel you can't stand it, just go back to the car and wait for a while..."
"it's okay no problem……"
Saying this quickly, as if the fear just now dissipated a little, An Yuanyao secretly turned her head and stood behind Liu Changqing.
He turned his body slightly to one side and looked at the chicken being killed.
Seeing this kind of scene for the first time not only frightened An Yuanyao, but also brought a sense of freshness, and as time went by, it became less scary than it seemed at first.
Especially with Liu Changqing beside him.
After Liu Changqing paid the money and bought other things that needed to be bought, he led An Yuanyao back to the car.
After returning home, Liu Changqing put on his slippers and headed directly towards the kitchen. After doing a little preparation, he started to prepare.
After killing the chicken, he asked the boss to chop it slightly, but it was obvious that the chicken was chopped into larger pieces, so Liu Changqing wanted to chop it into smaller pieces.
But before he could make a move, An Yuanyao quietly slipped to the side and looked at Liu Changqing who was holding the knife.
Noticing the other party's actions, Liu Changqing was a little confused.
"What are you looking at?"
"Do you need my help? I often cook by myself..."
"Then you will chop it?"
As he said that, he put all the knives in his hands on the chopping board, and Liu Changqing was ready to do other things.
When he looked at An Yuanyao again, he saw that the other party was holding the handle of the knife with both hands, as if he was about to chop something.
Startled, he quickly stepped forward and snatched the kitchen knife from the opponent's hand.
Looking at An Yuanyao who had some doubts on his face, Liu Changqing shook his head slightly and said softly.
"Those who didn't know better would have thought you wanted to chop wood."
"I……"
"Let me do it, you may not be used to using this kitchen knife."
He didn't mean to blame. The reason why Liu Changqing said this was because he was afraid that the other party would have an accident just because of the wrong use.
Use both hands to chop down, what if you lose your hand...
An Yuanyao seemed to feel a little embarrassed.
I originally wanted to help, but it seemed like there was nothing I needed to do...
When she cooks by herself, she uses a pan, a small spatula, and smaller knives. She has never used the kind of kitchen knife Liu Changqing uses.
His eyes were fixed on Liu Changqing's side face, and then his eyes were on the tense muscles of his arm holding the kitchen knife.
He raised the knife and dropped it, and there was a bang-bang-bang sound from the chopping board.
