Chapter 15: Eat walnuts (1/2)

Zhong Ziqi searched in the house and found a porcelain jar that was not much taller than a slap. It was chubby and light and cute. He carefully washed the porcelain pot with water and steamed it in the pot for a while for disinfection. The hot water in the pot was scooped out and placed in a clean basin to dry. Wash the apples and pears, peel and core them, cut them into small cubes, and put them in a porcelain jar. Sprinkle half a spoonful of sugar on each layer. Repeat this until the jar is almost full and the fruit is gone.

Then pour the cold boiled water into the jar and spread over the fruit, then cover the lid and put it in the pot for steaming, about ten minutes or so, boil the pot and take it out, close the lid tightly and seal it all around to prevent gassing, and put it on The corner is shady.

When Zhao Zhengan woke up, the sun on the horizon was already down. Rubbing his eyes, Zhao Zhengan didn't find his wife in the house. He squatted his mouth and walked toward the kitchen while pulling his shoes, shouting: ”Daughter-in-law? Wife-in-law?”

”It's the kitchen!” Zhong Ziqi replied loudly. He is burning the food right now. If he is full at noon, he is actually not too hungry.

Zhao Zhengan found Zhong Ziqi's signature smirk all the way: ”Daughter-in-law.”

Otherwise, habit is a terrible thing. In just a few days, he has become accustomed to the word Zhao Zhengan's unwilling daughter-in-law, Zhao Zhengan's smirk, and even Zhao Zhengan's existence. Zhong Ziqi couldn't help thinking in a daze. Today's life seems to be peaceful, but underneath the calm is actually a pile of mess that makes people confused, but he has to bite the bullet and walk on.

”Daughter-in-law?” Zhao Zhengan's enlarged face appeared in front of Zhong Ziqi. Zhong Ziqi, who shook his mind, even found that this guy's eyelashes were really curled up and placed on his handsome and mad face. It was surprisingly harmonious and very harmonious. ...Attractive?

Zhong Ziqi's throat moved back to his senses, and he stretched out his hand to push away the face that was close at hand, thinking stupidly, what did he think about? How could he find him attractive? There must be an illusion, he must be too tired, let's rest early today.

However, this idea of ​​Zhong Ziqi was not realized in the end, because Zhao Zhengan was reluctant to go to bed after eating dinner, and pulled Zhong Ziqi to play with him.

”Wash and sleep!” Zhong Ziqi said sternly.

Zhao Zhengan looked at him aggrievedly, and muttered, ”But wife, I'm not sleepy, I want to play with you.”

”...” You are not sleepy, I am sleepy! But looking at Zhao Zhengan's pitiful eyes, I couldn't help feeling soft. He was very busy every day and didn't have time to play with him, and didn't worry about letting him go out. It must be really boring to stay in the small yard every day, right?

Zhong Ziqi simply took two small benches and sat in the yard. He took the pecans he picked from the mountain in the afternoon, found a hard brick from the yard, smashed the walnuts, and then picked out the walnut meat inside and stuffed it into Zhao. Zhengan's mouth.

Zhengan chewed twice and felt it was delicious, then took Zhong Ziqi's head and squatted there and slapped. After smashing it out, following Zhong Ziqi's appearance, he took out the walnut meat and quickly stuffed it into Zhong Ziqi's mouth. Zhong Ziqi was taken aback for a moment, then cocked her mouth to eat.

On a summer night, the sky full of stars twinkled with brilliance. In that remote courtyard, a man squatted on the ground and smashed walnuts, and a man sat on a stool with his head in his hands, and looked sideways at the tall man next to him, his face soft and relaxed.

Until the person sat there with his head bit by bit and fell asleep. The tall man who smashed the walnut stopped, tilted his head to look at the sleeping man, and reached out his hand to touch the man's cheek. Then he straightened up very seriously, picked him up, walked into the bedroom and put it on the bed, and carefully took off his clothes. Then he took off his clothes and climbed into the bed, and looked at the man sideways. When he became serious, no one could tell that it was a mentally insufficient face.

The next day, still at that time, Zhong Ziqi woke up from her sleep, shook her head, got up to wash, but always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he went into the kitchen.

In the morning, he didn't want to make anything too complicated, so he cut some minced meat and mixed cabbage to make pie. When they were about to burn, Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng came. Zhong Ziqi opened the door and saw that they were carrying a sack of things. He quickly let in: ”Is it a cucumber?”

”Yes, it's fifty catties in total, you weigh it.” Zhao Sheng took the sack in and put it on the brick floor and said.

”No, Zhao Ama, can I still believe it? Let's let it go. I'll cook. You guys wait for a while, Zhengan hasn't woken up yet.” Zhong Ziqi paused after saying this, and he just said it, he always Something was wrong. He remembered that he seemed to fall asleep on a stool outside last night, but finally woke up on the bed. He carried me in? I don't feel it at all!

”Ziqi? Ziqi?” Zhao Ning couldn't help calling out twice when he saw Zhong Ziqi standing on the spot in a daze.

”Ah? Ah...you go into the house, and I'll be fine soon.” Zhong Ziqi returned to his senses, feeling that there was nothing to entangle, and shrugged and hurried into the kitchen.

In fact, Zhong Ziqi's baked cakes are really unskilled, but they are golden and golden when they are baked, and they are wrapped in a layer of oil, which looks particularly appetizing.

After making a good meal, Zhong Ziqi woke up Zhao Zhengan and cleaned up before sitting down to eat.

”Ziqi, if you don't sell noodles, you can still sell cakes. Depending on your craft, you can only make money but not lose money.” Zhao Ning said admiringly. No worries, there are delicious food every day, and wages, so many people are envious.

Unknowingly, the people whom Wenwen quietly needs his protection have grown to the point where he needs him to look up to be taken care of by him. Although Zhao Ning feels a little uncomfortable, he is still very happy. Who doesn't like being taken care of? Who doesn't like to have a better friend than yourself?

After breakfast, a few people gathered up, took their things and set off. Zhong Ziqi's arrival at the pier today is a little later than yesterday, after he set up his stall. Zhao Ning came over and asked, ”Ziqi, have you noticed that there seem to be a lot more people around us.”
