When Liu Xiulan got home from get off work, she saw a bunch of bananas in the living room and was surprised: "Where did this come from?"

"Si Ning gave it to me."

"Meng family girl?"

"Well, she said she wanted to learn how to cook. We didn't have any vegetables at home, so I gave her a handful of our greens, and she gave me a bunch of bananas."

"These bananas are out of season, they're a rarity. They're really expensive, right? A bunch of vegetables for a bunch of big bananas. This girl from the Meng family has never done any housework, so she probably doesn't know the price. And you too, why are you hustling at an orphan like her? Return it quickly. How much is a bunch of greens worth?"

"Mom, this isn't Xiao Qingcai's fault. We have a good relationship now, and she gave it to me specially."

"Good relationship? When did it happen?"

"Just these two days?"

"Two days? I've been in the compound for a year now, and I haven't seen her talk to the neighbors much. The few words she did say were all complaints. Her eyes were almost fixed on the sky. I thought she was so capable, but I didn't expect..."

Jiang Mo came out of the kitchen and heard her mother's words and continued, "I didn't expect he was such a fool."

Liu Xiulan glared at her eldest daughter unhappily. How could she say that?

Jiang Tang also wanted to laugh.

Unexpectedly, a bunch of bananas turned a professional who has been in the workplace for many years into a fool... It's her fault!

Idiot Meng Si Ning is still chopping garlic in the kitchen.

Lin Siyun heard the sound as he entered the room. He quickly put down his schoolbag and ran to the kitchen, where he saw his sister wearing an apron and fighting with garlic.

"Little brother, you're back. Come on, cut it. I almost cut my hand just now."

Looking at the garlic of all sizes with skins on the chopping board, Lin Siyun silently took the knife.

Meng Si Ning quickly put on him the cartoon panda apron he had just bought today, which was specially for children.

Lin Siyun looked down at the cute panda and finally said, "Sister, where did you buy this?"

"The new products from the department store look great, don't they? I bought them just for you. I have them too. I also bought the recipe. We can learn together and watch me cook porridge myself."

Meng Si Ning pointed at the casserole on the coal stove.

Seeing that the porridge was about to overflow, Lin Siyun quickly lifted the lid and frowned when he looked into the pot: "There is too much rice and not enough water. A handful of rice is enough for the two of us."

The recipe didn't explain how to make the porridge, so she guessed, "It's okay if it's more. This is your sister's first time cooking, so you have to encourage me. Or add some water so it doesn't get mushy."

Lin Siyun skillfully added a spoonful of water and then processed the garlic on the table.

Meng Si Ning pointed to the braised vegetables in the book and said, "Let's make this today."

Lin Siyun looked at the colorful and clear pictures in the book, and a curious light flashed in her eyes: "Sister, is this book sold at Xinhua Bookstore?"

"No... no, I brought it back from abroad and dug it out today."

"Printing technology abroad is really good. They also print in Chinese."

"Well, I found it at a second-hand store. Look, the cover is gone."

"Oh." Lin Siyun believed Meng Sining's explanation without a doubt, and his eyes were all focused on the picture in the book that looked exactly like the real thing, clear and distinct.

While he was interested, Meng Sining said some words to encourage him to learn how to cook, and Lin Siyun nodded repeatedly.

"You are the chef for this dish today, and I will help you."

"good."

"Isn't it time to drain the oil?"

"It has to be without water in the pot."

"Okay."

"How much?"

"That's all."

“Isn’t that too little?”

"How much salt should I put in... What is the oyster sauce the book talks about?"

“…I don’t know.”

"Then let's use soy sauce. It's all oil."

"Add water?"

The brother and sister spent half a day in the kitchen to make a simple stir-fried vegetable.

After it came out of the pot, Meng Si Ning felt that it didn’t look very good.

The stir-fried vegetables in my memory have no color.

I took a bite and it really didn't taste good, it was too salty.

Although Lin Siyun knew it didn't taste good, he swallowed it with a bitter face.

After taking a sip of the porridge, I found that it was almost like steamed rice.

Fortunately, Lin Siyun bought a portion of braised pork in the cafeteria at noon today.

Meng Si Ning's eyes lit up as he took a bite of the braised pork: "It's delicious. It goes perfectly with this rice porridge."

Lin Siyun nodded.

"Don't you notice that our house is very cool today?"

Lin Siyun then looked around the house and looked up, and saw that it was a ceiling fan.

"I bought two today and had them installed. From now on, I'll do my homework on the dining table. If it gets too hot at night, I'll just spread out a mat in the living room and sleep."

"Can we open it all night?"

Meng Si Ning nodded: "Turn it on. I can afford the electricity bill, but you must cover your stomach and don't catch a cold."

"Uh-huh."

Sure enough, even Lao Cheng is still a child. When he meets someone he likes, his innocence comes out.

Today was the first time the brother and sister cooked. Although the dishes were not very good, they were both well-fed.

It's a rare occasion for us to go out for a walk together after dinner.

As soon as I went out, I saw a group of people sitting at Aunt Zhang's door.

This has become the norm. Aunt Zhang's house is located at the corner of two roads. There are two long wooden benches at the foot of the wall. On weekdays, the neighbors nearby like to enjoy the cool air here in summer and bask in the sun in winter.

Because Meng Si Ning had been greeting Aunt Zhang from time to time in the past two days, as soon as they came out, Aunt Zhang spoke first: "Si Ning, come out for a walk."

"Yes, Aunt Zhang, have you eaten yet? Several aunties and grandmothers are here too."

This statement secretly shocked the other people.

She didn't stay long and took her brother to a less crowded place.
