Chapter 7: Dinner (minor repair)

Close the door, Zhao Ning walked into the house.

"Xiao Ning, who was it just now?" Zhao Amu asked without looking up while sitting in the room sewing clothes.

"It's Ziqi, I bought meat and asked me and my brother to eat at his house." Zhao Ning sat beside Eminem.

"Didn't it mean that you didn't allocate much money when you separated? Why don't you save more." Zhao Amu frowned in disapproval.

"I said the same thing, Ziqi said he knew it in his heart, but I think Ziqi and I seem to have a relationship, not as refreshing as before." Zhao Ning complained that they were the best in the past. When there are good things to share together.

Zhao Amu listened to Zhao Ning’s words and said admiringly: "Ziqi is a good child. He has experienced so many things. He has grown up and is sensible. You thought he was not alone before he was married. He is a dragger. , You must have a charter plan to do things, how can it be like a child."

"Why can't, we are very good." Zhao Ning said unconvinced.

Zhao Amu shook his head, his own brother is really uneasy. If he doesn't know what to do when he is married, it seems that he has to take care of him.

When Zhong Ziqi came home, he lay down on the door and listened. It was quiet. He reached out and knocked on the door: "Zheng'an, I'm back, open the door."

The door was opened as soon as the voice fell. Zhao Zhengan, with red eyes, jumped over and hugged Zhong Ziqi in surprise, muttering: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law."

Zhong Ziqi patted his head distressedly, guessing that this guy had been sitting behind the door since he left: "Look, I'm not back, I won't leave you alone."

Zhao Zhengan nodded happily, and walked into the house holding Zhong Ziqi's arm in his hand.

"I'm going to cook. If someone knocks on the door in a while, just open the door. If you get bored, you can continue to pull the weeds, or come to the kitchen to help me burn the fire. Will it be good?"

"Yes, I often help Eminem to cook." Zhao Zhengan said proudly, patted his chest. He doesn't want to leave his wife for a second now. Of course, he chose the latter. He took a small bench and sat on the kitchen stove and waited for instructions. The eyes moved with Zhong Ziqi.

Zhong Ziqi let him take a look, first wash the rice bought today and mix half of the brown rice into the pot. There are usually two large pots in this countryside, which makes cooking very convenient.

Signaling that Zhao Zhengan is ready to start cooking, Zhong Ziqi cut the pork belly he bought today into pieces, and washed the pork liver ribs and set aside for marinating. He plans to save the remaining fat for the oil, and he saves some pigs and bones to eat slowly.

Heat oil in a pot, saute garlic, green onion and ginger, add ribs and stir fry until white, pour in appropriate amount of water and simmer until rotten, add salt, a little sugar, and stir-fry the dried rice just before it comes out of the pot. plate. Looking at Zhao Zhengan who was obediently burning the fire, Zhong Ziqi took a pair of chopsticks and put two spare ribs in a bowl and handed it to him: "Try it, is it delicious."

Zhao Zhengan couldn't wait to take it over. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Even if the family made meat, he wouldn't eat it. Eminem would scold him. Zhao Zhengan took a bite of the ribs without being too hot, and immediately looked at his wife with bright eyes: "It's delicious, my wife's made the best."

Zhong Ziqi also laughed. He is passionate about cooking when someone joins him in cooking. The spicy pork slices used in the second dish, the pork belly, is mainly spicy. After it was fried, he still took a few pieces and gave it to Zhao Zhengan. He could smell it. The hot pepper came out, and he squatted in front of Zhao Zhengan with a bit of evil, watching him eat the meat into his mouth, chewed twice, his eyes were red, and he inhaled, his evil spirit was satisfied, and he got up. Go to the water tank to scoop a bowl of water and pass it to him: "Spicy, right? Drink some water."

Zhao Zhengan quickly picked up the bowl and drank it. Zhong Ziqi reached out to take away the slices of spicy pork, but Zhao Zhengan's strong resistance did not expect.

"This is too spicy, you can't eat it."

"You can eat, it's delicious, don't take it away."

Zhong Ziqi scratched her head and looked at him: "Then tell me if your stomach is uncomfortable, we have to see the doctor if it is too spicy."

Zhao Zhengan nodded quickly, holding the bowl tightly in his hand, for fear of being snatched away.

At this time, the door rang and Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Zhengan to continue eating. He went to open the door. It turned out that Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng opened the door: "You are here, come in, and the meal will be ready soon."

Zhao Ning sniffed and looked at the kitchen with bright eyes: "It smells so good, Ziqi did you make this?" Zhao Sheng sniffed the scent and couldn't control his saliva. He didn't want to come, after all, he was just married. He also brought a foolish brother, he was not very good, but Eminem said it was okay to go with Aning. Aning was not afraid of a brother, so he came with him.

Zhong Ziqi smiled crookedly: "Of course I did it, or who else could it be?"

"Wow! I didn't know you had this hand yet."

"There are still many things you don't know. Come in, you'll be ready soon. My name is Zheng'an to accompany you."

Zhao Ning waved his hand: "Let me help you, learn by the way, and let Zhao Zhengan talk to my brother."

In this way, Zhao Zhengan was kicked out of the kitchen and followed his wife's words to accompany Zhao Sheng. Before leaving, he took a particularly aggrieved look at the unfinished meat in his bowl.

The last dish was the cucumber to the liver. Zhao Ning helped him burn the fire, and Zhong Ziqi was in charge of cooking. Zhao Ning sniffed the smell and grumbled in his stomach: "Ziqi, you...are you really going to live with Zhao Zhengan?"

Zhong Ziqi had a meal with cooking hands, and said without changing her face: "Otherwise, I'm already married to him, so I won't spend time with him." Even the closest people can't say something, not to mention Zhao Ning. He is not yet familiar with his personality, and he can't say anything amazing to avoid spreading it out.

Zhao Ning said anxiously: "But he is a fool and can't work. You live on three mu of land? You can't get much food."

"Actually, life is very good now. I don’t need to be squeezed out by Uncle Dabom at Zhong’s family, and I’m separated from Zhao’s family, and Zhao’s family can’t come to make trouble. This is the only good day after my parents pass away. I will also think of ways to make money. You also know that good people like me are hard to come by." Zhong Ziqi said something serious, but it's not that it never happened.

Of course, Zhao Ning also knows that a brother who has no father and no mother and relatives dislikes it is fine if he marries to a good family. If he marries to someone like the Zhao family, the mother-in-law will look down on the call of being a cow and a horse, and will not be full. Fan, because they know that even if you are wronged, you can't run away and have nowhere to go.

In fact, there is a living example in the village. It is also a family surnamed Zhao. One of his elders, Eminem, died early. Dad married a stepmother. It was so bad and bad for him. Later, he married out and didn’t even have a dowry. So I suffered all the grievances and tortures in my parents’ house, and finally couldn’t bear it. I was taken off by my in-law’s family, and my brother was stunned by the divorce. It’s wrong, but it’s still not acceptable to the world.

And good people will never marry a divorced brother. This brother's family disliked him as shame, did not let him in, and said that the water thrown out by the man whom this brother married had nothing to do with the family.

But after all, most of the people in Zhaojia Village are connected to relatives. The village head can’t turn a blind eye to this homeless and helpless brother. Finally, he lent him money to build a hut in the village. This brother This is how I settled down, usually alone, embroidering an embroidery and weaving a frame at home to earn a small amount of money, turning a blind eye to the foul language outside.

Zhao Ning also knew that it was too late to say anything, but he was just embarrassing his friends. Zhong Ziqi put the food well, and shook his head to know that he was also doing good for himself: "Don't worry, this life is like drinking water and knowing it is warm and cold. You think my life is not good, but I think I am also good now. What do I want to eat? , I want to do what I want to do, my family is in charge."

"Puff." Zhao Ning's little sorrow was rushed away by Zhong Ziqi's strange remarks, but he had to admit that his words made sense. No wonder Amu let himself and Ziqi learn, and this indifferent mentality was also his It's not as good as that.

In the evening, a delicious dinner was opened. Zhong Ziqi didn’t eat much. He had a small appetite. He didn’t have any special feelings after eating his own meals for so many years, but the other three didn’t think so much. Zhao Ning wanted very much. It was a waste to criticize Ziqi for not putting so much oil in cooking, but he couldn't open his mouth at this time, especially the three people with spicy slices of spicy meat who breathed in straight but did not dare to stop the chopsticks for fear of being robbed. Zhao Zhengan doesn't look at people stupidly robbing things and not falling behind. What's more, this is his home, and this is his wife's work, so it is more of a matter of course.

Zhao Sheng was relatively shy at first, but he quickly abandoned this unnecessary emotion and joined the silent battle. Zhong Ziqi ate a lot at noon, and now he is not too hungry and eats slowly, but he is quite satisfied watching the three people eat deliciously. This is a common problem as a chef, and I hope that his dishes can be recognized by everyone.

But soon Zhong Ziqi had to gulp up, because Zhao Zhengan, who was sitting next to him, did not forget to put a chopstick on him while he was eating by himself. Zhong Ziqi felt warm when he looked at the sharp dishes. Zhao Zhengan's hands will be added: "Okay, you can eat yourself, these are enough."

Only then did Zhao Zhengan stop eating his own meal intently.

Zhao Ning was a little surprised to see this scene: "Ziqi, this Zhao Zhengan is good to you. I thought I was stupid and didn't know anything." Zhao Ning was reminded by Ziqi not to be a fool, but to call awkwardly. Daimyo.

When Zhao Zhengan heard him mention his name, he patted his chest proudly: "My wife." I don't know if he really understood it.

"puff"

"puff"

Two snorting laughs sounded at the same time.

Zhong Ziqi looked helplessly at the two men who were covering their mouths and laughing. Actually, they are not to blame, but Zhao Zhengan's appearance is really funny at this time. His small face is like a small cat, with a piece of oil stains on his face. There was still a bone in his mouth, and he was moved to his right cheek when he was talking. He bulged and wanted to poke, but he had to show a very proud look, which made people laugh.

After dinner, the four of them sat lazily on the chairs, and Zhao Ning hiccuped and said contentedly: "Ziqi, when did your cooking become so good? I don't know."

Zhong Ziqi said with a look of sadness, "I taught me when Eminem reborn, but he hasn't used it all the time. You don't know or blame it."
