"Mom, where's the laundry? Leave it there, I'll wash it later."
"Nier, why do you look so bad lately?"
"Is it not good?" Bi Yue touched her face, then shook her head and looked down at her toes.
Liu Yafang lowered her voice and muttered as if to negotiate:
"Are you too tired from studying until midnight every day? No, don't... Well, I've got into university anyway.
These are just two pieces of clothing. Go to the kitchen and get a bottle of soda to cool down. Come inside quickly."
"Oh." Bi Yue agreed, but turned and went back to her room.
Liu Yafang saw that her daughter looked listless again. She sat in the yard, frowning, feeling a little confused.
A few days ago, the secretary and his family came. There was a large group of people making a lot of noise. The yard and the restaurant were full of people.
Add to that the groom, Dashan. No matter what, since the family has arrived in the capital, she has to take her sister, brother-in-law and children out for a walk. If they don't go to the restaurant on time, she will have to stay in the restaurant until she dies.
During those days, she really didn't pay much attention to the children at home.
She had just had some free time these past two days and was able to go home and cook ready-made meals for the children, wash clothes and clean the house, but when she came back, she discovered that something was wrong with her daughter, Danni.
Liu Yafang was thinking about what was wrong with her daughter. Bi Cheng's pants in the washing basin had already been rubbed with soap once, and she rubbed them again, which showed that she was really thinking about it seriously.
Lazy, Danier has become lazy.
Thinking about this, am I really lazy? Liu Yafang shook her head again.
Not really, she is just lazy about everything and rushes to do everything else, as if she is afraid that her and the child's father will be tired, so she just cooks and avoids the work.
She came back from the restaurant these days, and sometimes the family had already started cooking.
Some time ago, it was Danier who prepared meals for her two younger brothers. However, in recent days, she has seen her daughters standing in the yard wearing masks in the middle of summer several times. Dacheng was frying food in a wok, and Danier was standing outside, shouting instructions from a distance.
When asked, what is the purpose of this?
The first two times Nier was caught, her answers were a little vague.
He said he was afraid of getting greasy spots on his face, so he finished the exercise.
Look, he is so lazy that he would rather sit outside and command others, wasting his time.
Dacheng is a grown man, why would we train him? He'll have to work and earn money to support the family, and he won't have to cook every day like women do.
Let’s talk about eating…
There's something wrong with the way this kid eats.
Liu Yafang picked up the dirty clothes on the ground and stuffed them into the washing basin. While continuing to scrub them, she thought:
My father loves to eat chili peppers, and they are indispensable in summer pickled vegetables.
At the beginning of spring, I specially planted some spicy chili peppers in the back garden.
That thing, except for Bi Tiegang, everyone else would choke on the throat because of the spiciness after taking a bite.
As a result, these two days, after she finished cooking and called for dinner, she realized it, and her daughter went to the back garden to pick the peppers planted by her father.
She ate a mouthful of rice, a mouthful of vegetables, and a mouthful of chili peppers with such relish that she could even eat spicier food than her father. She frowned watching this, fearing that Danier would have diarrhea.
Sometimes when they go to a restaurant for lunch, her daughter will put a bowl of chili oil on the side and dip it in everything she eats.
Ask her what's wrong? Is it because of the bitter summer that she has no appetite? What do you want to eat? Can't you always eat chili peppers?
My daughter actually asked, what can we eat in summer? She really wants to eat braised bones with sauerkraut.
When he said this, he looked so pitiful. Thinking of this, Liu Yafang sighed.
Right after her daughter left, she actually started to research whether it was possible to pickle sauerkraut. But then, when she looked at the weather, she was afraid that the pickles would become rancid in the hot summer.
What can I say anyway?
Liu Yafang pounded her lower back and stood up, then bent over and began to throw her clothes into the water.
In short, there was something wrong with her daughter.
In the past, there were some foods that my daughter would not touch, such as pig skin, which she would boil into jelly, but she would not eat it. Now she asks Dacheng to make fried pig skin with chili peppers for her.
I couldn’t eat such spicy food before, but now I can’t live without it.
In the past, my daughter didn’t like to eat canned sugary food, and I always heard her scolding Goudan, telling him to eat less of it, saying it was not tasty.
That day she cooked some sand apples in a clay pot until they were quite soft, and added some rock sugar, thinking that they were better than those sold outside, with a sweet and sour taste, and she wanted to satisfy Goudan's craving.
The boiled sand apples in sugar water didn't have much fragrance, but her daughter squatted on the side and watched, almost drooling.
There was a small pot of sand apples cooked in sugar water. When Goudaner finished her homework, she asked her for some. She said embarrassedly that she had eaten them all.
In the past, her daughter, Danier, was not the type to eat like a hungry wolf, but now as long as she eats something that suits her taste, that’s it, and she doesn’t care about anyone else.
He picked up the food with chopsticks one after another, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it away.
Liu Yafang turned her head to look at Bi Yue's room while hanging clothes. Just as she was wondering, Bi Yue pushed the door open and came out, looking downcast, and asked:
"Mom, why haven't you cooked yet?" She was hungry.
Liu Yafang slapped her thigh.
Isn't that right? Why are you still thinking about it? I quickly waved my hand and said:
"Well, I'll go cook. What do you want to eat? Look at me all day, I've been taking things and forgetting things."
But Liu Yafang must continue to think about the problems that she hasn't thought through?
She saw her daughter finish half a bowl of rice and then put down her chopsticks.
Is this not a good thing to say? Bi Yue had already walked into the yard, and her mother's gaze was still following her like a shadow.
…
Bi Tiegang came back at night. This time Liu Yafang didn't keep it in her mind, but talked about it out loud.
