Chapter 018. This is like a home
In the kitchen, Lao Zhao wanted to pump a red plum to relieve his sighs.
But thinking that my daughter didn't like the smell of cigarettes, she stuffed the cigarette box back into the storage space, turned around and turned off the gas stove with the cooking sugar water, took out the porcelain bowl and filter in the cupboard, and carefully poured the sugar water into it.
Filter out the residue of the red dates, and the bright red sugar water looks crystal clear.
“It’s a little hot?”
Lao Zhao carefully tasted the temperature.
Then a clear cold wind blew across the top of the Alps, and gently slid across the edge of the bowl in an elegant arc, making the hot brown sugar water in the bowl cool a little, and the temperature was just right at this time.
He came to his daughter's bedroom door, knocked on the door and asked softly, "Is it convenient for me to go in?"
"Come in quickly."
Xia Zhi's voice was a little shy.
Lao Zhao coughed dryly, gently pushed open the door and walked in, holding the porcelain bowl, but found that his daughter had sat up on the bed wrapped in a blanket. Although there was still a big cold sweat on her forehead, her fair face had a healthy blush.
Xia Shi and Xia Zhi were sitting beside the bed, holding Zhao Ying's hand, and their faces were no longer filled with the previous worry.
"Are you better?"
Lao Zhao took the porcelain bowl over and said, "Why should I drink some freshly cooked brown sugar water to replenish my qi and blood?"
"Um?"
Zhao Ying stared at Lao Zhao's face in a daze. Her black and white eyes swept across the slightly bald hairline and the most obvious belly. She seemed to be recalling something on her pretty face and asked softly: "Father?"
"Ahem!" Lao Zhao was a little uncomfortable: "What's wrong with such a formal name?"
"What an interesting fate, isn't it?"
Zhao Ying smiled with a pursed lips.
She stretched out her white and tender little hand, took the porcelain bowl that Lao Zhao was holding, and carefully scooped it into her mouth with a porcelain spoon. As the sweetness filled with the smell of date came down her throat, she also smiled at Lao Zhao: "Thank you, dad!"
"Is that true?" Old Zhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling that the situation was a little bad.
"The atmosphere is weird?"
Xia Zhi was confused by the side: "Is my brother-in-law and Xiaoying having a quarrel?"
Xia Shi also blinked her eyes and said in confusion: "No, right?" She reached out to Zhao Ying's forehead and measured: "I don't have a fever, I feel that Xiaoying is weird?"
"Oh!" Zhao Ying knocked off her mother's hand, pouted her mouth and acted coquettishly as usual: "I only have stomachache occasionally, and I will not hurt after drinking the brown sugar water sent by my dad!" As she said that, she couldn't control herself, and tilted her little head and laughed: "Isn't it cute when I act coquettishly?"
"Xiaoying, what's wrong with you?" Xia Shi was even more worried. This was not in line with her daughter's appearance on weekdays: "You can't be stimulated?" She seemed to think of something: "Have you broken up?"
"Break up?" Xia Zhi raised his ears next to him.
"Huh?" Lao Zhao, who was paying attention to his daughter's marriage, looked surprised.
"What and what!"
Zhao Ying lifted the blanket and got out of bed in dissatisfaction.
Her well-proportioned body, wearing home clothes, stretched out a few times: "Are I much better now?" She chuckled and looked at Lao Zhao: "Maybe that my dad stewed the beef in the morning was too fragrant. I ate a few more pieces, so I was indigested, right?"
"Yeah?"
Xia Shi and Xia Zhi looked at each other, and they were both a little confused.
I only heard that I had to go to the toilet with indigestion and stomachache. Why did Zhao Ying's indigestion have pain all over her body, sweating heavily, and talking a little nonsense, just like a patient who had just had a high fever?
"Okay!" Zhao Ying hugged Xia Shi and Xia Zhi: "Let's go for dinner?"
"Eat for dinner!"
Lao Zhao agreed and nodded repeatedly: "The prepared dishes are almost cold!"
Xia Shi scratched her head, but nodded in confusion: "Since Xiaoying's health is fine, then go and have a meal. The food I made tonight is good, so Xiaoying can also eat some easy-to-digest sea bass to nourish her body."
Zhao Ying stuck out her tongue and smiled, "I can digest everything I eat now~"
"ah?"
Xia Zhi was confused by the side: "That's good?"
Looking at Zhao Ying's appearance of holding hands and acting cute, she blinked and said, "I'm not you, a girl, right?"
When he arrived at the living room, Zhao Sheng, who was still talking on the sofa, stood up.
Seeing Zhao Ying's face recovering from the past was also shocked.
"ah?"
He wondered, "You have suffered so short pain today?"
Zhao Ying walked over in a furious manner and came to his scalp hard: "With you, a little unconscience-free maggot, still secretly looking forward to me to feel pain in death?"
"emmm..." Zhao Sheng wanted to tell his sister not to steal other people's lines, but after thinking about it, he would just forget it.
"Woom!"
Erha yelled a few times.
He looked at Zhao Ying with some surprise and sniff, and sniffed hard with his nose. He didn't pounce on him for a while, but instead crawled on the ground, looking a little trembling like a beast.
"Oh?" Zhao Ying squatted in front of Erha, gently stretched out her hand and rubbed her head: "I didn't expect there would be a little clever guy like you here?" Her delicate face chuckled: "It just so happened that the branch is raising police dogs. Should I follow me in the future and be a civil servant?"
"Wang?" Erhu tilted his head as if he was stupid. His tongue drooped on his mouth while breathing, and his eyes were blank and he seemed to be unable to understand, but his lying body was slowly retreating.
"Little clever!"
Zhao Ying chuckled, and didn't mean to continue fiddling with it.
After all, it's a meal order.
They all came to sit on both sides of the dining table, and the bowls and chopsticks were ready.
Sea bass is drizzled with oil, braised beef, white-cut chicken, vegetarian stir-fried cabbage, scallion heart, plus a bowl of seaweed egg flower soup and steaming rice in the rice cooker, five dishes, one soup and one staple food, all with color, aroma and taste.
What's more, the combination of meat and vegetables, combined with color, fragrance and smell makes people feel enlarged!
"Wow! Very good!"
Xia Shi all showed a little girl's joy: "It looks so delicious!"
Xia Zhi sat next to him, biting his lower lip lightly, and his face showed a nostalgic look: "It's indeed my brother-in-law's craftsmanship. I feel happy when I think about it. I haven't eaten it for a long time!"
Zhao Sheng felt a warm feeling from the bottom of his heart: "Is this the hard-earned ordinary dinner?"
Zhao Ying also smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Home-cooked food?"
"Eat it! Let's clean up all the dishes tonight!"
Seeing that everyone was surprised by his skills, Old Zhao was very proud to take out a bottle of beer that had been treasured for a long time in the cabinet: "Everyone gets together tonight, I'll drink a little!" He said, and shook his eyes: "German tan, this wine is good, do you want to have a little?"
"Come on the table!" The four people on the table also spoke in unison. Although they all had their own thoughts in their hearts, there was a sense of happiness in the current warm family dinner environment.
"Wang!"
Erha next to him was also chewing large pieces of braised beef.
Seeing everyone on the table raising their glasses and clinking each other, I also smiled happily, and at the same time, eating large pieces of beef and shaking my tail hard, I was equally happy about the current family atmosphere.
This is like a home.
