In the kitchen, sunlight shone through the window onto the stove, where Xiao Ning was standing, busy preparing today's lunch. He rolled up his sleeves skillfully, revealing his strong and powerful forearms, and began to process the ingredients in an orderly manner.
First, Xiao Ning picked out a few fresh potatoes and carrots from the basket, placed them on the chopping board, and cut them into even pieces, each of which was of moderate size and regular shape. Then, he picked up the thawed chicken thighs, carefully cleaned the remaining blood on them, and placed them on a plate for later use.
After everything was ready, Xiao Ning gently pressed the switch of the induction cooker. After a while, the salad oil in the pot began to bubble slightly. He first put the chopped onion into the pot and quickly stir-fried it for a few times. As the oil temperature rose, the onion gradually exuded an attractive aroma and turned golden. At this time, Xiao Ning quickly poured the chicken thighs into the pot and kept turning them with a spatula until the surface of the chicken turned slightly yellow.
Then, he added carrots and potatoes in turn, and continued to stir-fry for a while to fully blend the ingredients. When a sizzling sound came from the pot, Xiao Ning decisively poured in an appropriate amount of water, just enough to cover all the ingredients. After the water boiled, he covered the pot, turned down the heat and simmered it slowly.
Time passed by, and the kitchen was filled with a faint smell of water and food. Xiao Ning opened the lid of the pot from time to time to check the cooking progress, making sure that every ingredient was cooked thoroughly. Finally, after waiting patiently for a while, he opened the lid again and saw that the potatoes and carrots that were originally hard had become soft and delicious.
Xiao Ning nodded with satisfaction, reached out to take out half a block of curry from the cupboard, carefully put it into the pot, and gently stirred it with a spoon to make it completely melted. Then, he covered the pot again to allow the curry and other ingredients to further penetrate each other. About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Ning opened the lid again, and in an instant, a rich and pungent curry aroma came like a tide, making people salivate.
At this time, Xiao Ning showed a happy smile on his face. He turned around and took out a bag of milk from the refrigerator and slowly poured it into the pot, stirring it gently to prevent the curry from clumping. As the milk blended into it, the curry soup became thicker and smoother, and the color became more golden and attractive.
Finally, Xiao Ning served a bowl of steaming white rice, turned it upside down in the middle of the plate, and then used a large spoon to scoop up a full spoonful of curry sauce and poured it over the rice until the entire plate was covered. In this way, a bowl of curry rice with good color, aroma and taste was ready!
He held the carefully prepared curry rice in both hands and walked steadily to the dining table and put it down. At this time, Bai Ziyun and Honghong had already sat at the table, excitedly waiting to enjoy this sumptuous lunch. When they saw the golden and fragrant curry rice, their eyes immediately lit up, and their joy was beyond words.
At this moment, Xiao Ning shouted loudly: "Sister Rouxue, great-grandmother, come and eat!"
The sound continued to echo in the room, as if to fill every corner. Not long after, Rong Rouxue carefully helped Chu Yin out of the room. Her steps were a little staggering, as if every step required great effort.
Xiao Ning walked forward quickly, held Chu Yin steadily, and gently arranged her to sit. Then, he smiled and gestured to Rong Rouxue to eat first, while he took care of Chu Yin wholeheartedly.
Xiao Ning gently picked up the plate and carefully scooped up a spoonful of rice with a spoon. He brought the spoon close to his mouth and blew gently, fearing that the heat would burn Chu Yin. Then, he slowly passed the spoon to Chu Yin's mouth and said gently:
"Come here, great-grandma, I'll feed you."
Chu Yin opened her mouth obediently and bit the spoon like an obedient child. She chewed the rice slowly, and every bite was full of satisfaction. Xiao Ning looked at the smile on Chu Yin's face, and his heart was also filled with joy.
After a while, the plate of rice was finished. At this time, Bai Ziyun picked up the empty plate and said excitedly:
"Ning'er! Master wants more! This curry is so delicious!"
Honghong beside him also imitated Bai Ziyun and waved her hands, indicating that she wanted one too. Xiao Ning couldn't help but chuckle and replied:
"Master, there's more in the kitchen, you and Honghong can go get it yourselves!"
Bai Ziyun couldn't wait to go to the kitchen when he heard this, and Hong Hong followed him. Rong Rouxue also showed a satisfied expression after finishing a plate of curry. However, she didn't want to eat more, but stood up, walked to Xiao Ning and Chu Yin, and said gently:
"Ning'er, I checked your great-grandmother's eyes and there's nothing wrong with her. Just keep giving her acupuncture and decocting medicine, and she'll be able to see again soon. As for her inability to speak, it's a degeneration caused by not communicating for a long time, and it may take some time for her to recover."
Xiao Ning nodded gratefully, indicating that he understood. His eyes fell on Chu Yin again. The wrinkles on Chu Yin's face were as deep as ravines, and her eyes seemed to be covered by a thick haze. Although her lips had recovered, she still couldn't utter a word.
Xiao Ning held Chu Yin's hand tightly, feeling the warmth from her hand. His eyes were full of determination and tenderness, and he said softly: "Grandma, don't worry, Ning'er will definitely heal your eyes and mouth!"
His voice seemed like a promise, a firm belief, which made people feel extremely at ease.
Chu Yin nodded vigorously to show that she understood, then she struggled to raise her other hand, which was as dry and thin as a dead branch, and tremblingly stretched it towards Xiao Ning's handsome face.
When Xiao Ning truly felt the rough touch of Chu Yin's fingers and the deep fingerprints, the anger burning deep in his heart instantly became more fierce, as if it was going to devour the entire world.
