Chapter 116 One Dish and One Soup
After a while, the little guy finally nodded and held Lin Xia's hand tightly.
When Lin Xia reached the door of Yang Hongmei's house, he stopped and immediately felt his little hand tighten.
The little guy looked at her eagerly, but was reluctant to let go of Lin Xia's hand. His whole body exuded a pitiful aura, which made Lin Xia feel very uncomfortable.
I squatted down, hugged the little guy and comforted him: "It's okay, you see our house is so close, you can go home and see your mother in no time."
"But I want you to stay with me." She said softly in her baby voice with a tearful tone.
"Then you go and play first, mom will watch you play here, and then I will go home, okay?" Seeing that she was still a little sad, Lin Xia changed her way of saying it.
Looking at the people having fun over there, the little guy had a hesitant look on his face and was obviously moved.
Lin Xia decided to add fuel to the fire, "If we don't go now, they will go home for dinner!"
"Go~" softly.
"Just go and play for a while, and when you smell the delicious food at home, you can go home to eat squid!" Lin Xia tempted.
I wanted to give one to Yang Hongmei, but because Zhao Xianglan was there, she didn't mention it. So I just made one at noon and another one in the evening.
The little guy moved slowly, and looked to see if Lin Xia was there every few steps. Seeing her arm on the yard door and looking at him, he felt relieved to reunite with his friends.
Lin Xia watched outside for a while. The little guy in front looked back at her from time to time, but he started playing and didn't even think about her.
After waiting for a while, seeing that she was having fun, Lin Xia went home to cook with peace of mind.
Thinking that she would be sweating again soon, Lin Xia took out a lemon, which was a gift when she bought fruits, cut it and put it in the teapot to soak.
Blanch the large bones, then stew them in a casserole on the stove. The longer the soup is stewed, the more fragrant it will be.
They chose a small squid to stir-fry, and made a tomato and egg soup. Since both of them had small appetites, these two simple dishes were a meal, which was just enough for their appetite.
The meal was too rich and there was no refrigerator to store it, so Lin Xia didn’t want to eat leftovers in the evening. With Lu Yuxiu around, she wasn’t worried about not being able to finish it.
While busy in the kitchen, she heard a tapping sound coming from outside. Lin Xia went out to take a look and saw that it was An An who had returned.
Just as the little guy was about to go to the kitchen, he saw Lin Xia coming out, and his panicked little face immediately relaxed.
"Mom~"
I squatted down and caught the warm little body, listening to the little guy's hot breath in my ear, and my whole body felt like a hot little stove.
The rice was simmering in the pot and there was no need for anyone to watch the fire. Lin Xia took the little guy to drink some water and then went to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.
My clothes are all soaked with sweat, I have to change them. Now that I have changed them, I might as well take a shower.
By the time the little guy has finished his bath, the meal is ready.
Lin Xia and An An sat together and ate happily. Their eyes lit up when they saw the fried squid, and it was so fun to eat it.
The dishes cooked on the earthen stove are delicious. They are stir-fried over high heat and are crispy, tender and chewy. Because the little ones can’t eat spicy food, we cook them with a soy sauce flavor.
The little guy was eating with a crunching sound, and his already chubby face became even rounder. Lin Xia looked at him carefully, not knowing if it was her illusion, she felt that the little guy must have gained a little weight.
When I first met her, she was a little girl who was neither fat nor thin. Now her white and tender arms are segmented and fleshy. You could see her little chin before, but now it is round and connected to the curve of her face.
Lin Xia suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in raising a baby. She held the little one who was eating and took a bite of his chubby face.
The kiss was not very strong, but it left the little guy confused. He looked at Lin Xia blankly, not knowing why he was being kissed.
After being stunned for a while, she pouted her greasy little lips and wanted to kiss him back with a smile.
Lin Xia looked away for a moment, and said with a smile: "Save it for kissing daddy at night~"
The little guy pouted and didn't even want to eat, just wanting to return a kiss.
Seeing that she was not eating well, Lin Xia hid for a long time, and finally pretended to be kissed, leaving greasy marks on her face.
Looking at the little guy who was smiling contentedly, she sighed in her heart, oh! Who told her that she couldn't help herself!
The two of them finished their meal while playing and joking, and then took her to take a nap.
After sleeping for half an hour, Lin Xia woke her up, took her to sit at the big table, and read comic books with her.
The little guy can’t read, so he has to rely on his own guessing when looking at pictures.
Having the little one sit still, Lin Xia simulated a class in the kindergarten she had seen in her previous life.
After watching for half an hour, seeing that the little girl began to move her butt from side to side and could hardly sit still, Lin Xia let her play by herself.
She continued to draw the picture of the sofa and the gift for the little one, and she suddenly remembered that the little one would be five years old in August.
That's when I thought of making a slide as a gift, and then placing it next to the sand. That way, with the sand as a cushion, I wouldn't have to worry about her falling.
She is not a professional painter. She didn't have the money to study in her previous life. She only enrolled in classes after she had money after she started working. Her paintings are not professional, they are just for her own entertainment.
The little guy jumped around for a while, and when he saw Lin Xia sitting at the table writing and drawing, he sat back obediently, taking his own pencil and learning to write and draw.
Not long after painting, the sun was not so strong anymore, and Lin Xia started to tidy up the land in the yard. Last time, Lu Yuxiu had already turned over the entire land, but the soil had to be made fluffy for planting vegetables.
In this busy way, it is time to prepare dinner.
The pork bone soup had been simmering on low heat, and it was just right to add carrots and corn. The staple food for the evening was the leftover rice from lunch. The amount was not enough for three people, so Lin Xia steamed some sweet potatoes.
When the time comes, just mix it with rice and it will become sweet potato rice, which is nutritious and healthy.
The weather was too hot and she was too lazy to do anything fancy, so she just put the remaining squid, shrimps and crabs in a stew pot. This way all the ingredients could be put in and stewed at once. As long as the sauce was prepared, not much oil would be used.
The sauce is rich, the food is soft and tasty, and it won’t cause you to get angry even after stewing it. If you get tired of eating it, just take a sip of the sweet and refreshing pork rib corn soup. It’s delicious just thinking about it.
Lin Xia was busy, waiting for Lu Yuxiu to come home for dinner.
At six o'clock, Lu Yuzheng was just thinking about how to avoid Wang Gang and his men when he received an order from the regiment political commissar to see him.
As soon as he entered the office, he saw several people standing in the political commissar's office. The most eye-catching thing was the red armbands on their arms. Political Commissar Xu had a normal expression, but his solemn eyes told him that things were not simple.
"This is Captain Lu." Political Commissar Xu said to the people in red sleeves when he saw him come in.
"As for these people, we have received reports that there are problems with your family's lifestyle. Don't worry. If there is nothing, there is nothing. It's just a routine inspection." Political Commissar Xu introduced in a relaxed tone, as if the problem was not serious.
There was no strange expression on Lu Yuxiu's face, but he suddenly thought of what Lin Xia had said before. It seemed that this person was not targeting Lin Xia, but him.
"Then let's go back now." His tone was calm, and even when facing the scrutiny of several people, his eyes did not flicker at all.
Several people looked at each other. They had also received reports, but as everyone knew, at the level of battalion commander, the living conditions would definitely not be bad, and they didn't think there would be any problems.
But the process had to be followed, so he followed Lu Yuxiu home.
In the family area, Zhang Sixi kept looking at the road, as if waiting for someone to come.
