Lunch was quickly prepared, and Zhang Cuifen brought all the dishes to the table: roast pork with potatoes, amaranth with garlic paste, cucumbers, spicy lobster, fried shredded pork with green peppers, assorted vegetables in cold salad, and a pot of mung bean soup.
The table is full of dishes, just like Chinese New Year.
Today is even happier for Zhang Cuifen than the Chinese New Year! A thorn in her heart has finally been removed. No one will talk about her anymore, and no one will harass her anymore.
Zhang Cuifen also went out to buy two bottles of beer. Once the two bottles of beer were opened, everyone poured a bowl of it. Ling Xiaowei didn't drink, so she scooped a bowl of mung bean soup for herself.
Shi Mingwei does know how to drink. Maybe Grandpa Shi drank a bowl of beer as a drink and drank it in a slurp.
Zhang Cuifen was very happy when she saw it and praised: "Xiaowei is really a good drinker! Come on, Auntie will pour you another bowl." Zhang Cuifen poured another bowl for Shi Mingwei.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Shi Mingwei drank a bowl of beer, his face not red, his heart not beating. This second bowl, he didn't rush to drink it down, but drank it slowly, one sip after another.
Ling Xiaowei peeled the lobster silently and ate it, and peeled one for Mingming from time to time. The two of them enjoyed the meal, and Shi Mingwei was a little jealous.
He bumped Ling Xiaowei's elbow with his elbow and whispered: "Didn't you say you wanted to peel the lobster for me?"
Well! I did promise it before, but now... there are so many people, and it always feels weird for her to peel lobsters for him!
"Hey, you don't mean what you say." Shi Mingwei's voice was a little louder. Although the beer didn't have much alcohol content, it was still a bit high for a teenager like him.
Shi Mingwei is in a bit of a head-scratching state right now and keeps shouting for Ling Xiaowei to peel the lobster.
The adults at the dinner table thought it was two children playing around and ignored them.
Ling Xiaowei was helpless, she always felt that if she didn't peel him off, Shi Mingwei would start crying! Thinking about this scene, she was so excited that she quickly peeled one off for him.
Shi Mingwei ate a peeled lobster and exaggeratedly and happily shouted like Mingming: "Wow! The lobster is delicious!"
Ling Xiaowei peeled off another one and gave it to him. Shi Mingwei applauded happily and continued to praise: "Xiaowei is so kind!"
"Sister Xiaowei, so beautiful!"
"Sister Xiaowei, the best!"
It turns out that when Shi Mingwei got drunk, he could praise people, one sentence after another, which made everyone at the table happy.
Grandpa Shi couldn't stop laughing, and then with a look of emotion on his face, he told everyone about Shi Mingwei's childhood. He said that Shi Mingwei's parents were both busy people, and that the child had been very independent since he was a child. After he was weaned, he was a nanny.
Growing up, his parents rarely accompanied him. Now that his parents are divorced, he is afraid that the child will be lonely, so he took the child to his side.
Grandpa Shi talked about his wife again. He got married late, and Grandma Shi had always been in poor health and passed away a few years ago.
After hearing what Grandpa Shi said, everyone was filled with emotion.
Ling Xiaowei looked at Shi Mingwei who had fallen asleep at the dinner table, and suddenly felt that she should be nicer to him in the future. She used to think that he was a young man in the city, happy and carefree, but she never expected that he would live like this without parental care.
life.
After lunch, Shi Mingwei took a nap in the hall of Ling Xiaowei's house. He turned on the fan, spread a mat on the floor, and slept as deeply as a little pig.
Grandpa Shi and his father were playing chess under the tree at the door of the cabin. Grandpa Shi and his father found a common hobby. Grandpa Shi was very happy and said that he would often come to play chess with his father in the future.
Ling Xiaowei spread a mat in the hut and lay down to sleep. Once the front and back doors were opened, the breeze was very cool.
She slept very deeply this time, and vaguely felt that someone was staring at her. She seemed to be awake and saw a handsome face staring at her.
Then she felt her nose was itchy! After sneezing, Ling Xiaowei woke up completely.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Shi Mingwei. Shi Mingwei had a piece of dogtail grass in his hand and was tickling Ling Xiaowei's nostrils. Oh, rub it! What did she say? Why does her nose feel so itchy?
"Shi Mingwei!" Ling Xiaowei sat up angrily.
Unprepared for the mistake, Ling Xiaowei got anxious and put her head on Shi Mingwei's chin. Shi Mingwei screamed, covered his chin and howled.
"It's your own fault, you deserve it!" Ling Xiaowei said angrily, and then rubbed her nose. It was so annoying, and she didn't know how long she had been staring at her nostrils!
She is a girl, so she wants to save face! I don’t know if her nose hair has grown, but Ling Xiaowei already knows that she loves beauty. She cares about her personal image very much.
Shi Mingwei rubbed his chin! It was fun to see Ling Xiaowei sitting on the mat with a dumb look on his face. He couldn't help but tease her: "Ling Xiaowei, there are a lot of boogers in your nostrils!"
What! A burst of anger rushed from the dantian to the forehead, and Ling Xiaowei felt like she was going to faint! Oh my god! Who can stop this annoying bastard! Why is it that when he is awake, his words are so suffocating!
Ling Xiaowei covered her nose, rushed out of the door, ran to her room, then found a small mirror, and took a good look at her nostrils. Her nose was straight and perfectly shaped, with no nose hairs or boogers.
Feel relieved!
She was scared to death! No! Why was she so nervous... Ling Xiaowei was confused by her behavior just now. Thinking about it, it was no big deal. Shi Mingwei had a booger and was disgusting. Who made him so annoying?
Ling Xiaowei continued to look in the mirror, and then combed her messy hair again. Her short, ear-length hair had grown much longer, reaching below her ears, and her bangs had also grown longer.
Now it is a standard student hairstyle. Ling Xiaowei took a rubber band, divided her hair into two parts, and tied half of it into a bun. Then she looked in the mirror. This hairstyle showed off her face shape and made her face look smaller.
When it was getting pretty, there was a shout from outside the house, "I'm selling popsicles...I'm selling popsicles...bang...bang..." The sound of wooden boards hitting each other is so beautiful!
Finally, the popsicle seller came! Ling Xiaowei excitedly took out a dollar change from the drawer and rushed out of the house to find the popsicle seller.
When I reached the intersection, I saw a middle-aged man pushing a bicycle and hawking goods from a distance. There were three or four children following his bicycle.
"Sister..." Mingming, who was sleeping in the main room, heard the cries and immediately ran out of the house. She was still barefoot. She was only wearing a pair of small pants and her belly was bulging. When she saw the seller
The popsicle man walked away and jumped anxiously.
"Mingming, go back quickly, sister will buy it." Ling Xiaowei waved to Mingming, and then she went to chase the popsicle seller.
There were many children buying popsicles, and finally it was Ling Xiaowei's turn. Ling Xiaowei ordered five popsicles, each costing 20 cents, including red bean popsicles and cream popsicles.
The familiar paper packaging and familiar shape made Ling Xiaowei very excited because she could finally eat the popsicle she had longed for.
