Chapter 72: New Years Eve (1/2)
On the New Year’s Eve, before the sky was up, the sound of firecrackers sounded outside, making Zhong Ziqi so irritable that she could not fall asleep over and over again.
Zhao Zhengan had no choice but to reassure him: ”It's fine for a while, just for a while.”
Zhong Ziqi may have a bad appetite these days, and his temper has become a bit irritable, but he can restrain himself from venting his emotions to Zhao Zhengan. He understands in his heart that he is not well, how can Zhao Zhengan be better?
He did all the work of washing, cooking, and cleaning up the room every day. Although he felt that there would be no problem in taking over, he couldn't stand Zhao Zhengan's surprise. For fear of how he might look like it, Zhong Ziqi was speechless and let him go. To toss, the key is that Zhao Zhengan has to go to town to do business affairs after tossing at home. Zhong Ziqi discovered that Zhao Zhengan has actually lost a lot of weight, but he has strong muscles all over his body, so the feeling is not obvious, but He is the person next to his pillow, the person who knows him best, how can he not feel it, so it is impossible for him to do such unreasonable things.
After a while, the sound of firecrackers outside really went out, Zhong Ziqi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Zhengan lay down again to sleep.
When it first broke, there was another sound of firecrackers, and Zhong Ziqi was speechless, and simply planned to bed with Zhao Zhengan.
”You are lying down for a while, and you will get up again when I prepare the food.” Zhao Zhengan said softly, and then got up to go to bed with clothes.
”I'll get up too, I can't sleep either.”
Zhao Zhengan shook his head while fastening the buttons: ”Cold, wait until I warm up the room and you will get up again.”
After a night, the temperature in the room had already dropped, and people shivered from the cold. If possible, no one wanted to leave the warm bed.
”okay then.”
Zhong Ziqi nodded, he couldn't do anything when he got up, so let's continue lying down, Zhong Ziqi thought lazily.
Zhao Zhengan got dressed and went out. The cold temperature forced him to shiver. He walked hurriedly all the way into the kitchen. Today is New Year’s Eve and is going to eat four meals, so this morning meal can be improvised. .
Zhao Zhengan turned on the stove, heated a pot of hot water and washed his face before starting to cook. In the morning, he didn't have any appetite. After thinking about it, Zhao Zhengan made a pot of gruel and put a few eggs to cook together.
When the meal was finished, Zhao Zhengan went to ask Zhong Ziqi to get up. Zhong Ziqi stretched out to wash, deeply felt that this kind of rice worm's life would make people more and more lazy.
After eating, Zhao Zhengan began to get busy. He first made a pot of paste, took out the couplets, door gods, and window grilles he bought. Zhong Ziqi was responsible for brushing the paste, and Zhao Zhengan was responsible for putting the couplets together.
There are also two big red lanterns. Their family lives in this remote place, there is no light around, and it looks dead and silent, so he bought two lanterns.
”Hey, point to the left... and point to the right...” Zhong Ziqi directed Zhao Zhengan to hang the lantern.
”Alright?” Zhao Zhengan asked, standing on the stool.
”Go up a little bit.”
Zhao Zhengan moved up according to words. ”How's it going?”
Zhong Ziqi looked and nodded: ”Okay, hang it up.”
Zhao Zhengan immediately hung up the lantern when he heard the words, then stepped down from the stool, and stood beside Zhong Ziqi and nodded: ”Yes, it's pretty.” With the door **** and couplet on the door, he was full of joy.
”Okay, let's go in, don't freeze.” Zhao Zhengan touched Zhong Ziqi's cold hand. Pull it back into the house quickly.
”I'm going to cook lunch. You can sit here and eat sunflower seeds.”
Zhong Ziqi sat on the kang rather uneasy and said, ”I'll do it with you. You haven't cooked so many dishes, and you can't be too busy.”
Zhao Zhengan waved his hand: ”No, didn't you tell me the steps yesterday, if I don't, I will ask you again, you don't need to go out.”
Zhong Ziqi: ”Is it really possible?”
”Really, don't worry.” Zhao Zhengan finished his guarantee in front of Zhong Ziqi, and started to play drums when he went out. After all, the dishes he cooked are different from the ones he practiced a few days ago. They are all complicated dishes, such as stewed ribs and stewed fish. Stewed chicken, other small stir-fries, soup dishes, he is really not so confident that he can do it well.
Zhong Ziqi sat on the kang and knocked the seeds absently, listening to the sound of cutting vegetables and meat from time to time in the kitchen. After a while, he still got down to the ground and walked slowly towards the kitchen.
There was too much fumes in the kitchen, so there was a slap-sized gap. Zhong Ziqi walked over and saw Zhao Zhengan wearing an apron, stewing fish. After putting oil in the pot, maybe the water was not cleaned up, and the oil began to crackle. Splashing around, Zhao Zhengan put the fish in the pot. With a sound of ”stabbing”, a burst of oily fume burst out of the pot, Zhao Zhengan jumped far away immediately, waited until the oily fume dissipated and ran to the side of the pot to continue frying the fish, occasionally being splashed by the oil, he would grin and grin. , I think the way he cooks is more interesting than watching TV, but when the taste gradually spreads out, Zhong Ziqi has to leave the kitchen regretfully.
Zhao Zhengan spent the morning in the kitchen, and occasionally ran over to ask Zhong Ziqi when he was in doubt, and when he got the answer, he ran back to the kitchen to execute. After his own thinking and Zhong Ziqi's guidance, he finally reluctantly at noon. Finished all the meals.
