Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiqin what he wanted to eat at night.
Geng Zhiqin's mind was filled with greetings to Liao Miaomiao's parents, so he was stunned for a moment.
Ye Fan asked her what happened. Geng Zhiqin glanced at the next door and asked: "Sister-in-law, you don't care?"
"What does it matter?" Ye Fan asked subconsciously.
Geng Zhiye understood: "Miao Miao."
Ye Fan was stunned, her sister-in-law was really here.
Geng Zhiqin didn't understand what was going on. Was she wrong? Geng Zhiqin couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with sister-in-law?"
Ye Fan sighed: "Xiao Qin, first of all, Miaomiao is not a relative of our family. Even if there is a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you can still say a few words to express your concern for relatives who are far away. The reason is sufficient. No matter how close the neighbor is, we are not from the same family. Secondly, Miao Miao is seventeen years old and immature. It will be easy for Zhuang Qiuyue to coax her. Then we will not be human inside and outside."
Geng Zhiye asked: "Do you understand?"
Geng Zhiqin nodded: "So?"
Ye Fan: "It's enough to review with her."
Geng Zhiye: "Don't think that Fanfan and I are indifferent. If we are just neighbors, we don't care what Miaomiao's parents think and we can do whatever we want."
Ye Fan nodded: "Miao Miao's father is your brother's political commissar. He felt unhappy about this matter and complained to the superiors. Even if the content was all fabricated, the superiors would still think, why didn't Political Commissar Liao complain to the Chief of Staff, and why didn't he complain to Deputy Niu? Long? It’s human nature, so you can’t blame your third brother for being suspicious of others. This is not called kindness.”
Geng Zhiqin understood, she was too impulsive.
Ye Fan asked again: "How did you want me to take care of it just now?"
Geng Zhiqin's first reaction was to ask Miaomiao to come and live here. But from what standpoint does her sister-in-law say such things? Geng Zhiqin thought again about talking to Miaomiao's parents. Listening to her third brother's wishes, Miao Miao's father realized that he shouldn't be indifferent to Miao Miao. Her mother wouldn't listen to her father's words. If her sister-in-law came forward, Miao Miao's mother would only regard her as a nosy lunatic.
Geng Zhiqin thought for a moment and had to admit that her sister-in-law was right, so he could only call her over for review. It's not even appropriate to keep her for a meal. Because the two families are so close, Miaomiao will be considered lazy, unsighted, or even uneducated by her mother.
Liao Miaomiao is young and energetic. She thinks her mother has wronged her and can't help but refute. Zhuang Qiuyue therefore concluded that Miao Miao was disobedient, and if she scolded Miao Miao or even took action, Miao Miao would definitely have no intention of reviewing.
Geng Zhiqin sighed: "It's so difficult."
Ye Fan asked: "What to eat?"
Geng Zhiqin was upset and had a headache because of Miaomiao's matter: "Whatever."
Ye Fan winked at Geng Zhiye and we went to the kitchen.
Geng Zhiye nodded and Dabao stood up. Geng Zhiye couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?"
Dabao replied without thinking: "Let's light the fire."
Geng Zhiye: "Can't I?"
Dabao asked his mother: "Will you no longer need me when dad comes back?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "How is that possible? Mom is afraid of tiring Dabao. Mom wants Dabao to grow as tall as dad. It's too hard to grow taller."
Dabao was very satisfied with this answer and waved his little hand: "Dad, go."
Geng Zhiye wanted to slap him: "Don't run outside after dark!"
"Nagging nagging." Dabao couldn't help but mutter.
Geng Zhiqin was beside his nephew and couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Seeing her like this, Ye Fan no longer worried about her. Arriving in the kitchen, Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiye what he wanted to eat.
Geng Zhiye was surprised: "Do I have a choice?"
Ye Fan opened the cupboard and found two sausages, a piece of bacon, a few rice cakes, and crabs tied with straw ropes. Geng Zhiye lowered his eyes and saw several kilograms of various small seafood under the chopping board.
Geng Zhiye was not surprised to see the seafood. He pointed at the sausages and bacon and said, "The wet market still sells this?"
Ye Fan nodded: "The production team kills the New Year pig, and the members share half of it, and keep the other half for sale. But it's warm here, and the taste will change if you don't eat it for two days. So they keep part of it to make sausages and bacon. At the end of the year, they send it to the vegetable market. Ask the vegetable market to sell it for them. It’s not rice cakes. I got noodles in exchange for them this morning.”
Geng Zhiye asked in a low voice: "Is it because Xiaoqin has never eaten rice cakes?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Dabao, Erbao and I also like it."
"What were you planning to do?"
Ye Fan: "If Xiaoqin doesn't eat rice cakes, I will wash vegetables and cook noodles, steam crabs, and make seafood with sauce using the method you taught me. Xiaoqin likes to eat this. Now I want to replace the noodles with rice cakes?" You have strong hands. Help me cut the rice cake into slices and two sausages. I’ll wash some cabbage and fry the rice cake?”
Geng Zhiye took out the rice cakes soaked in salt water: "Are two enough?"
"That's enough. Too much rice cake is hard to digest." Ye Fan opened the stove and went to prepare the side dishes.
The water is boiling and Ye Fan is blanching the seafood. After taking out the small seafood, Geng Zhiye poured out the water and cleaned the pot. Ye Fan mixed the sauce with the small seafood and put it in the cabinet. Geng Zhiye cleaned the pot and put it on the stove, while Ye Fan added water to steam the crabs. Then Geng Zhiye lit the fire and Ye Fan fried rice cakes.
The rice cakes are out of the pan and the crabs are almost cooked. When Geng Zhiye brought out some rice cakes and Ye Fan put the small seafood on the table, the crabs were cooked. Ye Fan took out the crabs, and Geng Zhiye poured a steel pot of water onto the stove and half-sealed the stove mouth. This way, when the rice was done, the water in the pot would heat up and be used for washing.
The husband and wife cooperated tacitly and had dinner in half an hour.
When Geng Zhiqin arrived at the dining table, he still seemed to be in a dream: "Have you eaten?"
Ye Fan nodded: "I didn't cook the soup."
Geng Zhiye took out a glass and poured a few glasses of water: "Dabao, Erbao, do you want some water?"
Erbao shook his head, and Dabao took the chopsticks: "Dad, can you eat it?"
Ye Fan: "Eat it."
Dabao picked up a piece of soft and glutinous rice cake and ate it, then asked: "Mom, can I fry rice cakes often?"
Ye Fan: "Your mother doesn't know how to make rice cakes."
Dabao was a little disappointed: "Okay. Let's go back and ask my classmate who makes rice cakes."
Ye Fan laughed and said, "How many more packs of noodles should I buy to prepare?"
Dabao nodded: "Okay." Seeing his aunt slowly tasting it, he asked, "Aunt, is it delicious?"
Geng Zhiqin saw that the rice cake was soft and felt like boiled noodles. However, it was soft but not rotten, and it still had the fragrance of sausage: "It's delicious!"
Ye Fan: "Don't just eat rice cakes, there are also vegetables. If you don't like crabs, just eat these little things."
Geng Zhiqin couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, I am not an outsider, you are still polite to me."
Geng Zhiye: “I’m afraid you won’t dare to eat it.”
Geng Zhiqin was a little afraid to touch the small octopus, so after hearing this, he decided to pick one up and try it.
Geng Zhiye eats quickly, and after finishing his rice cake, he opens the crab. Give it to Ye Fan first, then to his sister, and then to his children. Dabao curled his lips and whispered in his sister's ear: "As soon as my aunt comes, we will stand behind her."
Erbao couldn't help but ask: "If aunt doesn't come, we will be the last."
Dabao choked.
Geng Zhiye: "Why are you muttering if you don't want to eat?"
Erbao handed over the bowl: "Dad, I also want to eat rice cakes."
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "No more."
There were only two pieces of rice cake left in Geng Zhiqin's bowl, and he was about to put it in his mouth and go to the kitchen to serve the second bowl. Hearing this, he was shocked: "It's gone?" He looked at her sister-in-law, when did she become so good at it.
Ye Fan laughed and said, "It's not that I'm afraid you'll eat it, it's that I'm afraid you'll eat too much and won't be able to sleep at night."
Dabao nodded: "Yes. Sister-in-law, my mother used to make rice cakes at noon."
Geng Zhiqin: "You two know that you still want it?"
Dabao: “What if you don’t feel uncomfortable after eating it today?”
Erbao nodded, just in case it wasn't uncomfortable.
Geng Zhiqin rolled his eyes at the brother and sister, put some small seafood in a bowl and ate slowly.
Ye Fan broke open Erbao's crab and said, "Eat one, drink some water, go out to play for a while and then come back to wash your face and brush your teeth."
Erbao took it and said, "Mom, don't make crabs tomorrow."
Ye Fan: "Ask your sister-in-law."
Geng Zhiqin smiled and discussed with his niece how many more days to eat.
Erbao nodded: "Mom, you and your aunt eat, not my brother and I."
Ye Fan: "What did you two say?"
Erbao nodded: "Erbao means what he says."
At noon the next day, Ye Fan fried rice cakes with crabs, and Erbao almost cried. Dabao scolded his mother for cheating while eating crab-flavored rice cakes.
Ye Fan asked deliberately: "Is it delicious?"
Erbao: "Crabs are not delicious!"
Ye Fan smiled and didn't answer.
After eating the rice cakes, Ye Fan could not make any more rice cakes the next day, so Ye Fan still bought many crabs. The meat coupons were used up and he couldn't buy meat. Ye Fan thought it was troublesome for chickens, ducks and geese, so he bought two more fish and a piece of tofu.
After breakfast, Dabao and Erbao thought it was windy outside, so they lay under the quilt and read comic books. Geng Zhiqin was studying in the room, and Ye Fan had nothing to do. He steamed a pot of crabs and spent time picking crabs in the kitchen.
Liu Guihua went to Zhuang Qiuyue's house and saw Ye Fan through the window and shouted, "Accountant Ye——"
"Shh-" Ye Fan interrupted, "My sister-in-law is studying in the room, please keep your voice down."
Liu Guihua lowered her voice: "I plan to go to Miaomiao's house and ask Miaomiao to go to my house to review. But I'm worried that she will be sad when she sees Xiaoshan. You know, Xiaoshan used to be a gangster in school. But the gangster passed the exam, and she didn't. In school, it would be uncomfortable for everyone. How about asking her to come to your house?”
Ye Fan nodded: "I told Xiaoqin. Xiaoqin is willing to review with her."
Liu Guihua immediately felt relieved after hearing this. She went to Zhuang Qiuyue's house for a while and then asked Miaomiao. Miaomiao came out of the house, called "Aunt Liu" and planned to go back to the house. Liu Guihua immediately asked Miaomiao to go to her house to play, and she went to Ye Fan's house.
Seeing that she specifically mentioned Ye Fan, Zhuang Qiuyue couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with Accountant Ye?"
Liu Guihua shook her head: "Accountant Ye is fine. Isn't her sister-in-law here? I have to go and take a look. I heard that her face is like her mother, her eyebrows are like her father's, and she also looks like Captain Geng. She looks very heroic."
< br>
Zhuang Qiuyue also noticed a strange face coming to Ye Fan's house in the past two days. But I didn't see what it looked like. The girl might be introverted and shy. When she looked over, the girl turned away. Zhuang Qiuyue was also curious about what she looked like, so she believed it when she heard what she said: "Didn't you just take a look when we were fetching water? You went there specially. It's really leisurely."
Liu Guihua chuckled: "It's okay to be idle. Miaomiao, are you going?"
Miaomiao didn't want to go, but she didn't want to stay at home either. If she really had to choose, she would choose to go out.
At the entrance of the alley, Liao Miaomiao was about to turn north, but Liu Guihua grabbed her and said, "I'll go blame it on myself."
Zhuang Qiuyue faintly heard this in the living room and curled her lips speechlessly. Liu Guihua was really good at calling people.
However, Liu Guihua knocked on the guest room door when she arrived at Ye Fan's house. Geng Zhiqin's voice came from inside: "Come in."
Liu Guihua opened the door: "Xiao Qin, where are you reading?"
Geng Zhiqin saw Ye Fan two days ago and asked him what to do with the first and second treasures when her brother was on duty and she came to pick him up. Ye Fan said he was at Liu Guihua's house. When Liu Guihua came to Ye Fan's house to pump water, Geng Zhiqin specially thanked her for taking care of the first and second babies. Liu Guihua said Geng Zhiqin was too polite. Geng Zhiqin had a good sense of her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, come in."
"I won't go in." Liu Guihua pulled Liao Miaomiao over, "Miaomiao, this is my eldest and second treasure's aunt, who came to Accountant Ye's house to review. She is as unlucky as you. She did better than you in the exam and didn't study. ”
Comparing Political Commissar Liao and Zhuang Qiuyue, Geng Zhiqin really felt that her parents were very good and could face "slippage" calmly, "But I am a slippery slope. It's also because of my parents. They insist that I apply to a key university. Do you want to read a book? ? Reviewing together, I’m not bored either.”
Liao Miaomiao was not as familiar as her, so she couldn't help but look at Liu Guihua, wondering if it was suitable.
Liu Guihua pushed her in: "Xiaoshan went to play with friends, Xiaocao is not at home." She opened her eyes and talked nonsense, "I asked you to come out because Xiaoqin wanted to review with you."
Geng Zhiqin stood up and pulled Liao Miaomiao, "Come in."
Liu Guihua waited for them to enter and then closed the door, then went to the kitchen to ask Ye Fan why he steamed so many crabs.
Ye Fan said to pick out the crab meat and make crab meat buns for Geng Zhiqin, because Geng Zhiqin likes to eat crabs.
"You are such a kind sister-in-law." As she spoke, Liu Guihua fetched some water and washed her hands in Ye Fan's sink. "Give me two."
Ye Fan gave her a few and put the scissors for cutting crab legs between the two of them: "We don't produce this over there. My mother-in-law used to go to work and didn't have time to clean up this stuff. Xiaoqin hasn't eaten much."
Liu Guihua opened one: "Is this three-eyed crab quite fat?"
Ye Fan: "I'm late. The river crabs given to me by the Shanxi brigade years ago are the best. The crab paste is all sticky in my mouth."
Liu Guihua: "Raised in the river?" Ye Fan shook his head: "No one ate it before, but there were more and more. Last year when the sweet potatoes were harvested, they all crawled into the sweet potato field. Looking back, I saw the captain of the Five-Star Brigade, also known as They raise crabs or shrimps in the river and save them for later sales.”
Liu Guihuaxin said that crabs could not be transported to the north. People on the shore were not short of seafood, so who could they sell them to?
If it were a big deal, Liu Guihua could endure it. She couldn't hide such a trivial matter, so she asked Ye Fan who bought the crabs.
Ye Fan: "Not yet. I heard rumors that the higher-ups are planning to relax the policy. By then it will be too late to raise more."
Liu Guihua couldn't help but think of duck and goose feathers. Ye Fan told her to keep it, but she thought Ye Fan was talking nonsense. If she hadn't thought about "what if", she wouldn't have thought of selling it for eighty yuan. Liu Guihua nodded: "If you can't sell it, you can eat it yourself. Besides, apart from the effort of finding crab seedlings, you don't have to spend money or take care of them. If you sell more or less, it's all for nothing."
Ye Fan: "That's why I dare to suggest it. By the way, the beekeeping members have separated a lot of bees, and we can get honey in the spring. I plan to order a batch of half-pound and two-three-ounce packages through the cannery in a few days. Put honey in bottles. Sell it in the vegetable market first. If it’s not easy to sell, I’ll let you know if you want to sell it later.
Liu Guihua immediately said, "Give me a bottle of Xiaoshan, and give me a bottle of Xiaocao. When Lao Niu takes a vacation this year, give a bottle to his parents, and then give a bottle to my parents."
"You don't want to eat?"
Liu Guihua blurted out: "I don't deserve such a rare thing."
Ye Fan was not surprised at all. Many fishermen also said similar things: "The parents who gave birth to you and the children you gave birth to are worthy, but you are not worthy?"
"That's right." Liu Guihua seemed to have just thought of this, "No, no, Accountant Ye, you almost got in. It's what we should do to respect the elders and take care of the younger ones."
Ye Fan didn't want to say that there was nothing wrong with it: "You really don't want to give it a try? To put it bluntly, your children have made great achievements, but your body collapsed, don't you feel that you are at a loss?"
deficit!
What a loss!
Liu Guihua decided to keep one bottle for herself, and then asked Ye Fan to keep five half-pound bottles for her.
Ye Fan: "I'll tell the vegetable market and you can go to her directly to buy it. I'll give it to you through my hands. Some people should think too much."
Liu Guihua suddenly thought of Liu Qing, and she was jealous when she saw the Shanxi brigade giving sweet potatoes to Ye Fan. Why don't you think that Ye Fan will ask for them in vain? Even if he asked for it in vain the first time, Ye Fan didn't show any signs of it the second time, so the members of the club could still be so attentive.
Because the children from Xiaoshan and Shanxi brigade were admitted to the same agricultural university, Liu Guihua has become closer to the members of Shanxi brigade recently, and she can often hear them complaining about Accountant Ye's politeness. She gave her several kilograms of sweet potatoes, and she gave them some large radishes and cabbage, and taught them how to make pickled radish and cabbage.
Thinking of pickled cabbage, Liu Guihua couldn't help but ask: "Accountant Ye, I heard that you made a tank of pickled cabbage years ago?"
Ye Fan pointed to the corner: "There it is. It's not as good as what my mother did."
Liu Guihua looked over and saw that it was smaller than her own pickle jar: "Is it so small?"
"I have two children, and Geng Zhiye is often away from home." Ye Fan was amused, "Each of your Xiaoshan eats more than the three of us."
Liu Guihua nodded, her son's stomach was bottomless. Worried that the subsidy given by the school was not enough for her son, Liu Guihua planned to give him 20 yuan later. When Captain Niu went home to stay at night, she went to Hangzhou to see her son.
Liu Guihua: “I heard that pickled cabbage can also be used to stew fish?”
Ye Fan bought one fish in the morning and planned to eat one at lunch and one in the evening. Braised in braise at noon, and soup in the evening, just crab meat buns. Ye Fan couldn't finish picking out the crabs she bought in half a day in the morning. She planned to make the noodles after picking them out in the afternoon and steam the crab meat buns in the evening so that Geng Zhiye could eat them.
Hearing this, Ye Fan asked Liu Guihua how her knife skills were.
Liu Guihua: "How to say?"
"Can I fillet the fish? I can remove the bones and remove the spines, but the thickness of the fish fillets is uneven."
Liu Guihua shook her head: "I've never done that. You don't need to be so particular about eating it at home."
Ye Fan: "Then I will make fish with pickled cabbage and pickled radish for lunch. Can you help me light the fire and try it at my house?"
Doesn’t this mean to teach her how to do it? Liu Guihua handed the peeled crab meat to Ye Fan and washed her hands, "I'm going to buy fish. Will I cook it at your house later?"
Ye Fanxin said you are really smart. "Go, go."
Liu Guihua went home with a smile and asked her daughter to steam rice at twelve o'clock, and then went to the vegetable market to buy a sea bass.
Snakeheaded fish only have large spines. Liu Guihua wanted to buy snakeheaded fish, but unfortunately there were no freshwater fish in the wet market. Carrying the fish to Ye Fan's house, Liu Guihua met a member of the Shanxi brigade on the way. Liu Guihua couldn't help but complain that there were so many fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in the vegetable market but there was no black fish.
Who would go out of their way to catch fish in the river when there’s so much to eat in the sea? The club members said that sea fish is very good and has few bones. Liu Guihua felt that what he said was right. It was not like she couldn't buy fish with less spines.
The two chatted for a few more words and then separated.
When the members saw Liu Guihua going to Ye Fan's house, they suddenly thought of Ye Fan's previous words not to exterminate the crabs in the river, but to control their reproduction. Maybe someone will buy it in the future, just like duck and goose feathers.
The Shanxi brigade not only has rivers, but also ditches in the villages. It rains a lot in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are occasional typhoons. The water in the ditch never dries up all year round. Thinking of this, the members went to the brigade leader's house and suggested raising fish in the ditch in the village.
The ditch in the village is not connected to the river outside, so there is no need to worry about the fish escaping. Spring is the breeding season. Find a few fish and throw them in, and you will be able to raise a lot in less than two years. The captain felt that this could be done by a few idle men without a job, and it would not delay the cultivation of seedlings and rice transplanting, so he agreed to come down.
Liu Guihua didn't know that a casual sentence could bring out a ditch of freshwater fish. She went to Ye Fan's house to clean up the fish and asked Ye Fan when he would do it.
Ye Fan looked at his watch and saw that it was not even eleven o'clock: "About half past eleven."
Liu Guihua continued to help Ye Fan peel crabs. Ye Fan finished picking out a pot of steamed crabs, it was 11:40. Ye Fan put the crab meat in the cupboard for making buns in the afternoon. Put the crab shells and legs in the pot, then add water and ginger and cook on the stove. Ye Fan started dividing the fish.
Liu Guihua opened the pickled cabbage jar: "Accountant Ye, are there no radishes?"
"There are radishes in the small jar next to it." Ye Fan removed the fish head first.
Liu Guihua took out a plate of radishes and two halves of cabbage, and asked her where she cooked the rice.
Ye Fan forgot, wiped his hands and went to wash the rice and cook it in the rice cooker.
Liu Guihua followed her movements and saw the pot in the living room, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This thing is convenient. I have only heard people say it."
Ye Fan: "Xiaoqin brought it."
Liu Guihua waited for her to arrive in the kitchen before whispering: "Your sister-in-law is very sensible."
Ye Fan: "Maybe my parents don't get along with each other."
Liu Guihua couldn't help but think of Yu Wentao, he was really capable of stirring up trouble. "Maybe. Like our family, the hills and grass are not as sensible as Miaomiao." Liu Guihua went outside to wash the radish and cabbage as she spoke. When she came back and passed Geng Zhiqin's bedroom, she knocked on the door again, and then asked Miaomiao if she wanted to stay for dinner.
Liao Miaomiao didn't dare. It's not that her mother will scold her, but that her mother will blame Liu Guihua. To put it bluntly, I don’t want to cause trouble to others. Liao Miaomiao said it was time for her family to cook.
Liu Guihua also knew that it was not easy for her, so she did not continue to persuade her to stay.
When she got to the kitchen, Liu Guihua saw that Ye Fan had put away the fish and the chopping board was free, so she cut the radish and cabbage into small pieces. Ye Fan burned the fire and cooked the fish heads and bones. Blanch until it becomes milky white, and fillet the leaves. At this moment, the crab shells on the stove are also cooking deliciously. Ye Fan asked Liu Guihua to filter out the soup, put it back on the stove, add seasonings, and add tofu. One pot of crab shell tofu soup is ready.
Ye Fan gave Liu Guihua a bowl of pickled fish and a large bowl of tofu soup, and asked Xiaoqin to carry it back to Liu Guihua.
Geng Zhiqin was already hungry while reading and doing questions. He ran back from Liu's house resisting the urge to drool and said, "Sister-in-law, give me a bowl of soup."
Dabao pointed to his aunt's seat: "Okay."
Geng Zhiqin sat down and took the bowl.
Erbao couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, you had dinner this morning."
"Your sister-in-law is tall and has a big appetite." Geng Zhiqin took another sip. "It really tastes good. Sister-in-law, if you keep eating like this, I feel like I will gain five pounds a month."
In order to dispel her worries, Ye Fan deliberately said: "You have a beautiful idea. Your brother eats fish every day. Is he fat?"
Geng Zhiqin shook his head.
"If you eat pork every day, you may gain five pounds in a month. The more you eat fish, the thinner you will become." Ye Fan deliberately asked Erbao if he wanted to try tofu soup.
Erbao shook his head: "I heard it. Aunt Hua said it was cooked with crab shells. Mom, don't deliberately make me angry."
Geng Zhiqin almost choked at his niece's words: "How could your mother deliberately make you angry?"
Erbao: "Mom likes to tease people just like dad. Mom, if you make me angry again, I will ignore you!"
Ye Fan: "Then you also need to eat some tofu, it's nutritious. You can't just drink fish soup. Dabao, do you want it? How many pieces can mom give you two?"
Dabao nodded.
Ye Fan gave each of the two children four small pieces of tofu and half a bowl of rice.
The siblings knew very well that they had to eat. Although they preferred pickled fish and fish, they did not refuse the rice.
Probably the sour soup was appetizing, and I was full without realizing it.
Geng Zhiqin thought he would be sleepy, but turned out to be in good spirits when he arrived in the bedroom. Geng Zhiqin opened the geography book and copied the knowledge points above. Geng Zhiqin was tired of copying and went out to get some fresh air. When she saw that the living room was empty, she went to the courtyard. There was no one in the courtyard, but there was someone in the courtyard next door. Geng Zhiqin waved. Liao Miaomiao came over - it turned out that her mother was in the house. She didn't want to stay in the living room and because the bedroom was too stuffy, she came to the courtyard.
Geng Zhiqin didn't ask her what she was doing in the courtyard on a cold day, and invited Liao Miaomiao to review together in the morning and afternoon.
Liao Miaomiao thought carefully. If she wanted to stay away from her mother, she had only three choices. One was to die, the other was to return to her hometown to farm, and the third was to take the exam. Having taken the exam once, it was the easiest thing for her to do.
Liao Miaomiao hesitated for a moment. Geng Zhiqin invited her to read a book together again, and Liao Miaomiao agreed.
Geng Zhiqin took her to the living room: "Where are my sister-in-law and Dabao and Erbao?"
"Dabao and Erbao are in the house." Dabao's voice came from the bedroom.
Geng Zhiqin pushed the door open and walked in. The brother and sister, one facing south and the other facing north, were leaning on pillows and reading comics. "Have you two finished your winter vacation homework?"
Dabao nodded: "It has been written a long time ago. Mom said you can read these books. They are all classics."
Geng Zhiqin glanced at it and said, "Do you understand "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
Dabao waved his hand: "Aunt, you can go out."
Geng Zhiqin smiled and took Liao Miaomiao back to the guest room.
Ye Fan actually didn't go out. She was picking crab meat in the kitchen. One pot was not finished steaming in the morning, and there were only a dozen crabs left to be steamed in the afternoon, so Ye Fan went to make noodles. After mixing the noodles and the crabs were no longer so hot, Ye Fan started to open the crabs.
I ignored Geng Zhiqin because he was afraid that she would want to help.
When it was getting dark, Liao Miaomiao went home. Ye Fan asked Dabao to light the fire, asked his sister-in-law to stew fish, and she made steamed buns.
Geng Zhiqin asked: "If you eat fish at noon, you can also eat it at night?"
"Braised in soy sauce." Ye Fan steamed the buns on the stove. After steaming two pots, the second pot was not fully steamed, so Ye Fan put a few steamed buns in it. But as soon as the second pot started steaming, Geng Zhiye came back.
Geng Zhiqin's eyes widened in shock when he saw the stuffing of the buns, and he looked at her as if Ye Fan was crazy.
Ye Fan: "What are you looking at?"
"So much crabmeat? Did you pick it?"
Geng Zhiqin was shocked: "Sister-in-law, isn't that tofu?"
Geng Zhiye glanced at his sister: "What look?"
Erbao is about to make trouble: "Mom, why are you making crabs again?"
Ye Fan: "I've made steamed buns too. If you don't want to eat them, just eat steamed buns or fish."
Geng Zhiye washed his hands in the sink and asked: "How many more are there? I'll do it."
Ye Fan: "We have used up the bun wrappers. There is still some crab meat left. Can I make wontons for you tomorrow morning?"
Geng Zhiye nodded: "I'll do it tomorrow." Wiping his hands, he went behind Ye Fan and pinched her back: "Ye Fanfan, thank you for your hard work!"
Geng Zhiqin couldn't help but nod: "Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I told you that you would help me choose crab meat buns? Why are you here?" Ye Fan said with a smile, "Don't be embarrassed. I want to eat them too. Besides, your third brother is the biggest eater in our family, so I made them for him. .”
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Make it for me. If you guys want to eat it, she will make it for lunch." He asked Ye Fan, "Pick a day?"
Ye Fan: "Sister-in-law Osmanthus helped me pick it up this morning. Okay, Xiaoqin, the pot is almost ready. Wash your hands with Dabao and Erbao."
Geng Zhiye cleaned up the kitchen, the buns were cooked on the stove, and the steamed buns were also warm. The couple brought the buns and vegetables to the living room.
Geng Zhiye was afraid that Geng Zhiqin would eat too much and couldn't bear it, so he went to the kitchen to serve some old wine for both Geng Zhiqin and Ye Fan to drink.
Geng Zhiqin ate so hard that he didn't forget to say: "Sister-in-law, don't do such trouble in the future."
Ye Fan shook his head: "Once in a while." Seeing his children eating steamed buns, he asked, "Dabao, Erbao, are they delicious?"
Dabao and Erbao ate alone and decided not to eat.
Geng Zhiye saw the two children staring at Ye Fan: "What's wrong?"
Ye Fan explained that they didn’t want to eat crabs.
The brother and sister complained to their father together, and their mother deliberately made them angry. Geng Zhiye nodded: "I promise for Ye Fanfan, I won't do it tomorrow, and I won't do it the day after tomorrow. By the way, Ye Fan, when will you go to work?"
Ye Fan: "There is no need to ship goods recently. The fishermen don't use the ovens in the food factory, and there are no fruits to be canned. The factory is fine. We may have to wait for the new factory director to come over."
