Chapter 49
"Following him, even pickles and porridge are delicious!"
A gust of wind blew by, gently lifting her gentle face under her bangs. She plucked the chicken deftly, then stood up with a smile on her face, skillfully lifted the chicken onto the chopping board, raised her knife and chopped it with a clang, and soon the chicken was torn into pieces.
At this time, the pot was steaming. She lifted the entire chopping board to the edge of the pot and flicked it lightly. The whole cut chicken immediately changed color when it fell into the boiling water!
There was a "gurgling" sound!
The trivialities in life seem to be illuminated by the Buddha of love, and every insignificant thing is engraved into the warm marks of time.
Ke Xin's gaze shifted from her slightly plump figure to her aunt hanging on the wall with her aunt's eyebrows curved and her arm around her uncle's. One of them smiled gently and elegantly, while the other smiled gently and generously. Her uncle had an upright posture, wearing glasses and a Zhongshan suit, like a scholarly preacher.
From the photo, she saw the shadow of love in her aunt's eyes.
Therefore, love is to transcend poverty and wealth and only love his most original appearance!
Seeing her aunt's genuine happiness, Ke Xin smiled even more deeply. Seeing her aunt busying around, she didn't stay idle either. While she was processing the chicken, she pulled a plastic stool, bent down and sat down, preparing to peel the garlic with her hands.
Seeing this, Zhong Hua repeatedly stopped him and said, "I can do it alone. You take a rest. And do you still have injuries on your hands?"
"Where did you get this injury?"
She asked in surprise with a sharp gaze!
Ke Xin paused. Although the wound from being stepped on two days ago had almost healed, the scab on the back of her palm was still noticeable. Seeing this, Ke Xin smiled indifferently and answered the question irrelevantly: "Hey, it's almost healed. Besides, move more to loosen up your muscles and bones, and the wound will heal faster!"
"Ke Xin, if you get bullied outside, your aunt will go and stand up for you no matter what. If you still say a man is not good enough, we will change him. Don't spoil him!"
Zhong Hua misunderstood that she had met a domestic violence man. Ke Xin sneered and waved her hand to explain: "Aunt, don't get me wrong, my boyfriend is the best person in the world to me!"
She said it with certainty, a blush spreading across her face at the thought of him.
Zhong Hua picked up the props in her hand for the time being and muttered, "I feel relieved as long as you are good to me. Don't be afraid. If I treat you badly in the future, you can always find your aunt." As she spoke, she moved the ginger slices in Ke Xin's hand in front of her eyes, peeled the ginger slices and cut them into cubes skillfully.
Ke Xin nodded gently, and seeing that there was nothing to do, she picked up some simple tasks, washed the marinade ingredients, and put them on a plate for later use.
The big plate of chicken was cooked very quickly. When the pot was bubbling, Zhong Hua kneaded the dough neatly and spread the batter into a pancake shape and placed it on the edge of the pot.
Soon a large pot of steaming hot pot chicken was served on the table.
When the dishes were first served, Zhong Hua took out a bowl of chicken first. She complained, "Your uncle-in-law has a new idea every now and then. Look, he actually ran to the river with his computer to write. He said that the breeze over there and the swaying willow trees gave him inspiration to write!"
After she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. She carefully placed the meat in the thermal box, turned around, and then slowly picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Ke Xin was already starving. She couldn't wait to take a bite and praised with a look of enjoyment, "Mmm, it still tastes like when I was a kid!"
Zhong Hua took a mouthful of rice, glanced at Ke Xin's figure, and suddenly a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes: "If you think it tastes good, eat more!"
"Look at your small body, so thin," her eyes darkened, "it really makes me feel sad!"
Hearing this, Ke Xin shoveled a mouthful of rice and said with a smile, "Aunt, this is my physique. I eat a lot, but I don't gain weight easily. My boyfriend always tells me to eat more!"
She was not being pretentious. When she ate the most, her heaviest weight was only 90 kilograms and she couldn't gain any more.
Seeing Ke Xin's face naturally flush with happiness when she mentioned her boyfriend, she felt relieved and said nothing more. Then she said seriously, "It's just not to my taste. If you stay for a few days, I will definitely make you gain a few pounds!"
"Thank you, auntie. I'll try to gain some weight!"
Seeing Zhong Hua's distressed expression, Ke Xin felt warmed up and ate all the fat pieces of chicken on the plate.
The rice is topped with chicken soup that is rich in essence. One mouthful of it will make your mouth full of oil and your face look full of satisfaction.
Seeing Ke Xin eating so heartily, Zhong Hua couldn't help but smile. Time flies, and she couldn't help but think: "I still remember when you were seven years old and ate the big plate chicken I made for the first time, you had the same expression!"
Ke Xin looked up and recalled, "I remember that time, when I was starving and dying, you pulled me out from the group of people bullying me and took me all the way back to your house. Then, just like today, you neatly cooked a big plate of chicken and served it to me. I still remember the taste of it that day. To this day, I still think it was the most delicious dish I have ever eaten in my life!"
Thinking of the past, Zhong Hua couldn't help but tear up. "Chen Min is so vicious. She treated you like an ant when you were little. I didn't expect that when she grew up, she would go online to smear you." She smiled speechlessly for a moment, then took a hard bite of the chicken foot, her expression ferocious, and said, "Let me put it bluntly. Her grandson has leukemia. It's probably retribution for her who has a bad reputation!"
Speaking of Chen Min, the two of them felt like they had something stuck in their throats. "Forget it, forget it. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so don't mention that person who spoils the fun!"
Zhong Hua curled his lips and started talking about recent family matters.
After dinner, when my uncle Wu Cheng walked slowly into the house with a computer in his arms, he met Ke Xin's gaze head-on. He was a little confused for a moment, and his eyes moved back and forth between Zhong Hua and Ke Xin.
Ke Xin broke the silence first, nodding politely and saying, "Hello, uncle!"
"Oh, it's Ke Xin, right? I've heard your aunt mention you for years, and now I finally meet you. I didn't expect you to be such a beauty. I was wondering why such a distinguished guest suddenly came to our house. I'm so surprised!" Wu Cheng immediately held his eye sockets with a look of surprise.
Zhong Hua quickly explained to Ke Xin, "Normally, no one comes to this humble room, and your uncle doesn't like to look at his phone, so it's normal for him to be surprised!"
When he put the computer on the table, Zhong Hua immediately took the lunch box from the counter to Wu Cheng's side, and then couldn't help but whispered in his ear: "I told you not to read my text messages, and I just wanted you to buy some fruit on the way!"
Wu Cheng suddenly realized something and quickly took out his phone from his pocket to take a look. "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong this time. I'll go buy it now." When he was about to leave, Ke Xin repeatedly stopped him, saying, "No need to buy it. I rarely eat fruit!"
"It's okay. I was going to buy it anyway. After that, I'll go pack some of our local special snack, lei cha. Just wait!"
Seeing Wu Cheng acting out of character, Zhong Hua pointed at him and teased Ke Xin, "Look how nervous he is. It's mainly because no one has been home for a long time!"
Just when Wu Cheng was about to score, he glanced over and saw a corner full of gift boxes. He pointed at the gift boxes with a suspicious look on his face.
Meeting Zhong Hua's gaze, Zhong Hua glanced at him and nodded slightly. Wu Cheng understood instantly, and then couldn't help but say: "Hey, here you come, why are you sending these? You can't take these things when you come down!"
Ke Xin smiled and said, "Just a little token of my appreciation!"
"By the way, if Ke Xin doesn't mind, why don't you stay with me for a while? Your aunt will accompany you for a few days and it would be nice to experience the local customs!"
Ke Xin looked at the sky, which was approaching dusk, and nodded, "Sure, it's good to come and relax!"
Before leaving, Wu Cheng reminded Zhong Hua: "It's rare for your niece to come, so don't go picking tea these days. Spend some time with Ke Xin and have some fun nearby!"
Hearing this, Zhong Hua's mouth curled up to the back of his mouth, and he quickly said warmly: "In that case, I'll go and clean up the second bedroom!"
Ke Xin took out her cell phone and sent a text message to Fu Xuan to report: I will be staying at my aunt's house for the next few days!
When my aunt had tidied up the bedroom, Wu Cheng returned to the house with a bag full of things.
Then he quickly opened the Lei Cha he had just packed from the market and greeted Ke Xin warmly, "Ke Xin, come and try the local specialty, Lei Cha!"
Ke Xin happened to be changing into the new slippers given by Zhong Hua, and at a glance she saw Wu Cheng wearing glasses and looking at her sincerely invitingly.
Ke Xin touched her belly and said playfully as she walked over, "We just had Dapanji at 3pm, and now we're having Lei Cha again. I'm really going to gain weight!
”
As the name suggests, lei cha is a local specialty food specially prepared to entertain distinguished guests. Ke Xin was watching the local food column and became curious about this delicacy. So she ordered this dish to be taken home to try it. However, she couldn't get used to the taste, so she threw it away after taking two bites.
At this moment, she pulled out a stool, sat up straight, and took a small bite under the expectant eyes of her uncle and aunt with a troubled mood. With this small bite, the fragrance of tea spread to her taste buds, and her originally slightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed. She didn't expect that the taste of the tea outside was so different from the one bought locally. After taking a bite, Ke Xin exclaimed repeatedly: "It is worthy of being a local specialty. It is unexpectedly delicious!"
After taking a bite, she finally understood the difference between the buyer's show and the seller's show.
It seems that you have to go to the local area to taste the original flavor of the local specialties. Ke Xin suddenly felt that it is better not to make judgments easily on things beyond her own knowledge.
Seeing Ke Xin enjoying her meal, Zhong Hua also showed a relieved expression.
But she had just finished eating Dapanji not long ago, and now she was having Lei Cha, so she could only eat one-third of it and could not finish it anymore.
Seeing this, Zhong Hua didn't force it. He wrapped the remaining lei cha in plastic wrap and said to Ke Xin, "I'll put it in the refrigerator first. You can eat it when you're hungry!"
"Yeah," Ke Xin nodded, and then her eyes were unconsciously attracted by the sunset outside the window.
