She thought she would be antsy and have trouble swallowing, but that was not the case at all.
As soon as the meal was served, it was filled with tofu and Chinese cabbage soup with the original flavor of vegetables, fried corn and shrimp pancakes that were golden brown on both sides, minced meat, onions and eggs that were both delicious and filling, and sweet and sour pineapple spare ribs. Yu Huan swallowed his saliva.
I forgot that their food is so delicious.
Shi's father specially put her favorite food in front of her.
Yu Huan was biting the meat while listening to his mother mention at the dinner table that someone was living across the street.
"That couple are both doctors." Shi's father said casually, "I ran into them moving things upstairs just now, and helped them out."
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
The person who came in was a well-dressed woman, followed by a little boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, holding a box of fruit. They came to meet their neighbors and thank Shi's father for his help.
The adults on both sides wanted to get along well with each other and greeted each other warmly.
Yu Huan tilted his head while biting a piece of uneaten pork ribs and met the eyes of Yu Bingqiao who was standing behind Aunt Lu.
It turned out to be the little sister of this family.
Yu Bingqiao waved hello.
After the adults on both sides get to know each other, it is the children's turn.
"This is your child. How old is he? What grade is he in? He is so pretty. When was he born..." They will say all these things and finally the adults from both sides will take the lead in introducing the children.
"The one in our family is almost two years older. He is the older brother," said Ms. Lu.
At that time, the mother, Ms. Wei, brought Yu Huan out and asked, "Next time you see me, you have to call me brother, okay?"
In front of the two adults, Yu Huan shouted obediently.
Yu Bingqiao smiled with his eyes curved.
.
Yesterday was Friday and today is Saturday. Yu Huan doesn’t have to go to school and his parents are at home.
In the morning, everyone did a thorough cleaning together, and in the afternoon they went to the supermarket to buy food for the next few days and some snacks for Yu Huan.
Every time this happens, Yu Huan is very happy.
There's still no candy though.
But her mother didn't know that she had the box that Yu Bingqiao had given her. And her mother didn't know that just last night, she had secretly eaten a lot of candy while lying in bed.
It was great that she was a neighbor. If she was poisoned, he would definitely not be able to escape. Just in case, before eating, Yu Huan left a suicide note in her standard elementary school handwriting.
In his suicide note, he stated that if he died, it must be because he accidentally ate the candy given to him by Yu Bingqiao.
.
Dad didn't go to work today, so he cooked. He fried Yu Huan's favorite chicken legs in the kitchen. The sizzling sound of the oil in the pan was unbelievable.
Yu Huan stood in front of the pot and watched over it.
After frying, Shi's father let it cool for a while before giving it to Yu Huan to eat.
The father and daughter acted very secretly, however, the mother seemed to have countless pairs of eyes and could easily see through everything in the house.
Before Yu Huan could bite it, she heard her mother say:
"It's not even on the table yet, and I'm already eating again."
The father and daughter looked at each other guiltily and said nothing as if nothing had happened.
The fried golden crispy chicken legs are sprinkled with a little pepper and salt. The skin is thin and crispy and the meat is tender and delicious.
Being a child is happiness, and you can put many things behind you and not worry about them.
Yu Huan was eating when his mother came to the kitchen. Yu Huan was so scared that he let out a cry and took a big bite.
"Eat like a puppy."
Ms. Wei couldn't help but laugh at her. She then turned to Shi's father and said, "I saw the couple next door went out early this morning and haven't come back yet. The child ordered takeout for lunch. Do you think I should ask if his parents will be back tonight?"
Shi's father understood what she meant and said, "Okay, go ask. If he doesn't come back, just invite him to our house for dinner. It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks."
A few minutes later, Ms. Wei came back with Yu Bingqiao.
The adults were busy in the kitchen, while Yu Huan was in the living room guarding a plate of freshly fried chicken legs.
"Sister." Yu Bingqiao greeted her with a smile.
Since the adults were not around, Yu Huan refused and just told him: "My dad fries chicken legs, they are super delicious, you should try them."
Yu Bingqiao's attention was drawn to the chicken legs. He had never eaten such freshly baked and still hot fried chicken legs before.
His parents both work in hospitals and are health-conscious, so they usually eat light meals. Ordering takeout takes time, and even the most delicious food loses its flavor after being left out for the journey.
The thirteen-year-old boy was immediately conquered by the unprecedented deliciousness and forgot that Yu Huan did not call him brother.
At the table, while eating and chatting, I learned that they moved because their previous residence was far from the hospital. Both of them were busy with work, and it was common for Yu Bingqiao to eat alone.
They planned to find an aunt to take care of Yu Bingqiao, but they had just moved in and hadn't had time to take care of her yet.
During the meal, it was clear that Yu Bingqiao was a well-raised child. He was polite and tactful, spoke freely and without fear of awkward silences, and loved to laugh.
It was getting dark, and there was a sound of a door opening from the opposite side. It looked like they were coming back.
After a while, Yu's father and Ms. Lu came to pick him up. Perhaps because they felt it was too much trouble for them, they also brought a doll gift box for Yu Huan.
"He had to work overtime, and I thought I could come back early, but he suddenly had an operation and couldn't leave... I really have to thank you." Ms. Lu explained and expressed her gratitude.
"That's no big deal. Our two families live so close to each other." Ms. Wei said, "If you're too busy in the future, just come over and eat. A child can't eat much."
