She was even more afraid that if she got addicted to it, suddenly one day everything would go back to square one. She really didn't know if she would do something crazy.
It was only after Cen Zixiang came over and stayed with her for a long time, comforting her carefully, that Chen Ye began to open her heart and accept little by little the deep family affection that was so hard to come by.
"No need, grandma. You and grandpa can eat first. I'll go by bike and be back soon." The weather was hot and the food at home was light. There was no shredded meat at all. If my fourth brother came over, wouldn't I bring back some hot dishes?
Chen Ye rode her bike very fast. Fortunately, she arrived early, otherwise everyone would have gone off work and she wouldn't be able to buy anything.
The waiter looked up and saw Chen Ye. This little girl didn't like to talk, but she was familiar to him because she came here so often. "You came late today. What would you like to eat?"
Chen Ye pursed his lips and smiled: "What's left? I smelled that I made pork elbow today. Is there anything left?"
The waiter turned around and put his head into the food window. It sounded like he was talking to the chef. Here you can't eat whatever you want, you have to eat whatever they have.
When the waiter came out of the food window, he saw a round and fat head sticking out. The man was really round, with a round head, round eyes, and even a round nose.
The chef glanced at Chen Ye. He actually knew this girl. In the past six months, every time he made pork elbow, this little girl would come to buy it, especially in the morning. As long as he fried dough sticks, this girl seemed to never miss it.
"Little girl, there is one elbow left, but it's reserved for someone. That person hasn't come yet, so he probably can't come. But it's cold, okay?"
The main reason is that we made a lot of pork elbows today. Someone ordered five in advance. He is a leader, but I don’t know why he didn’t come to pick them up today. They can’t be kept in such hot weather. If they can be sold, they will be sold. If they can’t be sold, they will be digested internally.
"Sure, could you give me some soup? I'll just heat it up myself when I get home. Are there any leftovers?"
"Yes, there's also a pig's ear. If you want it, I can mix it for you."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
When the master chef smiled, his round eyes instantly turned into slits. Chen Ye was amazed in his heart, wondering how those big eyes could turn into slits in an instant.
Chen Ye looked at the waitress and said, "Do you have any steamed buns? If not, rice will be fine. We have a sudden visit from our family and we are running out of rice."
"Yes, yes, yes. We have rice and steamed buns. What do you want?"
"Then make ten steamed buns," and the rest will stay in the cellar so they won't go bad. We can fry them in oil and have breakfast tomorrow morning.
The steamed buns at this time were very solid. One steamed bun was as big as an adult man's fist. Chen Ye, with his appetite, could be full with one and a half, and two would be barely enough.
Chen Ye finished the stir-fried pig ears very quickly. She packed them in a lunch box and quickly rode her bike home. She was really hungry at the moment, and the pork elbows in the restaurant smelled so good that she couldn't stop drooling.
Cen Zixiang's hair was still damp with moisture, and he muttered to himself that his younger sister's bathroom was really well built, and it felt as good as those in later generations. And the indoor toilet would definitely keep his butt warm in the winter.
Then she saw the dishes in the two large lunch boxes on the table: "My little sister is the one who knows that my brother is craving meat."
I don’t know what’s wrong with the traps on the West Mountain. It’s hard to catch small animals now. They eat much less meat this year than last year.
"You shouldn't be short of meat." It's impossible to eat as much as you want, but you can still satisfy your craving every few days.
"I don't know what's going on. The traps on the mountain aren't working at all. Sometimes I don't get anything for ten days or half a month. I feel like my face is turning pale."
As he said this, he stuffed a large piece of pork elbow into his mouth and almost burst into tears: "How can this pork elbow be so delicious? It's still cold. If it was just out of the pot, I would be so drunk!"
Looking at Cen Zixiang eating the meat with big mouthfuls and a look of emotion on his face, Grandpa Cen, Grandma Cen and Chen Ye did not touch the elbow meat. Although they could not eat meat every day, it was much more convenient for them to eat meat than Fourth Brother (Xiao Si). At least they could buy meat dishes in state-owned restaurants.
Cen Zixiang finished half of the pork elbow, only to find that his grandparents and little sister had not eaten it. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as he had to eat it alone.
He quickly picked up a piece of pork elbow for each of the three people and said, "You guys eat too. It would be embarrassing for me to eat alone."
Grandpa Cen had a look of disgust on his face: "Okay, eat it yourself. We can eat this pork elbow almost once a month." This guy didn't even know to change a pair of chopsticks when picking up food. How come his chopsticks became dirty after he came out?
The old lady didn't think too much about it. She put the meat in the bowl into her grandson's bowl and said, "You eat it. We don't lack meat."
Chen Ye also felt a little disgusted. Although she had eaten even grass roots when she was extremely hungry, she still felt that this was different. She returned the meat and said, "Fourth brother, you eat it. I don't like meat in hot weather."
Cen Zixiang's eyes widened: "Hey, you guys are living such a life that you don't even want to eat meat? Then I won't be polite."
Although he said this, Cen Zixiang didn't think so in his heart. He just thought that his grandparents and younger sister felt sorry for him. No, he had to go back and study the set. He had to get some more meat for his grandparents and younger sister to eat.
What a beautiful misunderstanding!
Chen Ye pushed the cold-boiled pig ears towards his grandparents and said, "Try this. It will cool you down." Fortunately, his grandparents had good teeth.
Cen Zixiang looked at his grandparents, who were smiling like two chrysanthemums because of his little sister's concern, and sighed in his heart, it's really nice to see them like this.
He suddenly thought of what happened at the beginning of spring. After receiving the letter, he hurried to the city and saw his grandparents living in the guesthouse. He can still recall the shock he felt at that moment.
It almost scared him to death, okay?
You have to know that my grandfather is a leader with security guards, how can he just go out casually? It takes a lot of effort for this old man to go out. Everything needs to be arranged, just in case something happens to him.
But what did he see? He only saw the old couple. He couldn't find a third person inside or outside the house. His heart almost jumped out of his throat.
When he heard that the old couple came here because they missed their little granddaughter whom they had never met, and that they could not just sit there and wait for death and decided to take the initiative, even a good-tempered person like him wanted to get angry.
How could this old man still be so willful? You know, if something happened to the two of them on the way, he and his younger sister would feel guilty, not to mention that the whole family would be in chaos.
He quickly called his third uncle, and when he heard his uncle's steady voice, he burst into tears instantly. Oh my God, he was scared to death. He never thought that his grandparents would do this to him.
