Liang Qi was stared at by such a pair of eyes that were as vast as the stars in the sky. His mind was completely drawn away and he looked at Nie Zheng stupidly.
Nie Zheng looked at Liang Qi, who was fascinated by him, and stretched out his big hand to touch the woman's head. She looked as cute as his daughter.
Liang Qi came back to his senses, looked at the steamed buns, and then looked at the steamer: "Are you dirty? I haven't washed my hair yet, and you are still kneading the dough."
Nie Zheng was left with a frown on his face. How could this woman not feel shy at all? Where was the shyness she had before?
You can only continue to make the flower rolls, and put them all into the steamer after they are ready.
Liang Qi calculated the time and started steaming buns.
"Get up, I'll do the burning. How long will this take?" Nie Zheng pulled the woman up and asked casually.
"Boil the water on high heat for twenty minutes, or on low heat for ten minutes." Liang Qi was not polite.
Because the steamed buns are large, it takes a little longer.
"I understand. You go and rest for a while, I'll watch over you." Nie Zheng felt a little sorry for the woman.
After coming back from yesterday, he has been busy at home without a single day's rest, like a little top, tireless. He tries his best to help, and when he takes over for a while, he will seriously learn what he doesn't know.
Liang Qi looked at the man who helped her with everything, which made her feel a little moved and a little embarrassed.
I couldn't even say no, I just wanted to live one day at a time and let things take their course.
You still need to observe a man for a year, otherwise what can you do if he pretends to be a good person? If he gets scumbag, you’re doomed.
"Okay, I'll go take a look at the noodles. What do you want to eat tonight?" Liang Qi looked at the busy man and thought about rewarding him.
"Just cook as you like. I'm not picky about food." Nie Zheng thought it was good enough to cook for him, so he didn't dare to order anything.
Liang Qi raised her eyebrows. She finally gave you a chance, so you can't blame her if you didn't seize it.
They have been busy for almost the entire day, and it is already past five in the afternoon.
Nie Zheng’s steamed buns are very good, they look soft and delicious.
Liang Qi thought that for dinner he could just make some pickled cabbage dumpling soup and fried pancakes.
The other three all agreed.
Liang Qi remembered that she went to the black market early this morning while her family was asleep.
No one knew that the few ounces of sesame oil distributed in the village was definitely not enough to fry the pancakes.
In order not to scare the people at home by taking it out suddenly, he poured some sesame oil into the pot and mixed it with some lard.
Nie Zheng looked at Liang Qi who was about to take the small pot and asked hurriedly, "Where should I put this?"
"Put it upstairs, let's go upstairs and fry the pancakes."
After Liang Qi cleaned up the kitchen, he went upstairs, where the old lady also helped him knead the dough.
Liang Qi just joined the army of fried pancakes.
Nie Zheng watched his mother and others busy frying pancakes, while little Fenghuang ran around happily on the kang.
"Qi Qi, where did you get so much oil?" Zhang Guishu couldn't help but ask.
She knew that the little oil distributed by the village was not enough to cover the bottom of the pot.
"Um, I . . . . . . "
Liang Qi wanted to say that this was bought from the black market, but he was afraid that the old man would be frightened because of this, so he couldn't say anything for a while and his face turned a little red.
"I asked my friend at the oil press to do it," Nie Zheng said to Jiewei with a smile, looking at the woman's flushed face.
Liang Qi looked at the man in surprise. This man's reaction speed was quite fast.
Nie Zheng generously let the woman see it, and gave Liang Qi a meaningful and evil smile.
Liang Qi felt shocked. Who could have thought that such a serious person would suddenly become so...
Suddenly, I heard the old lady say, "You should thank them for the oil."
This was the first time Zhang Guishu had seen so much sesame oil in her life, and the oil tank at home was full.
"Thank you." Liang Qi said hurriedly.
The family is doing a little better this year. Nie Zheng has given the five hundred he promised, and Liang Qi now has some money.
She had to find a way to buy some food, as what she had at home was definitely not enough.
She took a look during the day and found that the food in their village was provided as basic food for the population after the public grain was paid: a bag of wheat weighing 100 kilograms, a large bag of peeled corn cobs, a large bag of potatoes for each family, 50 kilograms of peas for each family, 20 kilograms of buckwheat for each family, and 20 kilograms of grains.
The amount of food she received for her work points was quite good: 80 kilograms of wheat, two large bags of corn, 200 kilograms of potatoes, 8 kilograms of buckwheat, 30 kilograms of millet, and 20 kilograms of peas.
Seeing that there is still extra grain, could it be that the old lady took the grain from Li Wu, the guaranteed household?
Liang Qi rolled out the dough in his hands and looked at Zhang Guishu with some doubts, "Mom, did you take down all the food the village gave you?"
The old lady is a five-guarantee household. She has no son and no labor force. The basic food supply for the population is guaranteed by the brigade.
"It's convenient for them to deliver the food to you because it's on their way. I'll ask them to put mine here for you," Zhang Guishu said casually while kneading the dough.
Liang Qi thought that the old lady must live with them, so he moved her down this year, which would be a good helper.
"Okay, then how about asking Nie Zheng to help you move your family here tomorrow? The house here is bigger and newer, and the road is easier to walk on," Liang Qi looked at the old lady and discussed.
"Okay, you guys decide." Zhang Guishu thought that she was old and sometimes felt lonely living alone.
Being with the children, she felt that she was still alive and had hope.
"Okay, then I'll move in tomorrow," Liang Qi said quickly after seeing the old lady agree.
She thought it would take some time to persuade him, after all, the old lady would be nostalgic, as that was the place where she had lived all her life.
"Okay, I'll move tomorrow. I'll do whatever my wife asks me to do and follow her instructions in everything at home." Nie Zheng echoed, standing behind the woman.
Liang Qi looked at Nie Zheng, who had gotten a little carried away, and squinted his eyes, wondering if he was itching to get hurt.
"Wife?" Little Phoenix tilted his little head and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yes, do you want your uncle to be your father?" Nie Zheng said nervously with his expressionless handsome face.
No one knew that Nie Zheng's heart was in turmoil at this moment, with nervousness, anticipation, and fear of being rejected by his own daughter.
Then he continued: "You have to call me dad, I am your dad."
The last sentence was what was truly in his heart. He pursed his lips nervously, waiting for his daughter's decision.
Liang Qi had seen this man's shamelessness before. He actually let her lovely daughter call him dad. How shameless he must be.
"Uncle, you have to ask my mother about this. It's all right with me as long as she likes me." Little Phoenix looked at the tall uncle in front of her seriously and said.
Nie Zheng touched his daughter's little head and wondered how his daughter could be so cute and considerate.
But this poses a big problem for your father.
"Ahem, that girl asked me to ask you something," Nie Zheng clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, coughing and clearing his throat.
Liang Qi glared at the man in the midst of his busy schedule and said disdainfully, "If you're not going to help, then just go away and make trouble."
Nie Zheng obediently picked up the rolling pin that Liang Qi put down and started rolling out the dough.
