Seeing Peter holding two bags of things and sweating profusely, Aunt Mei immediately helped him share part of the load. Peter asked her to help open the refrigerator, as she had plenty of strength.
Peter put the meat that needed to be refrigerated into the freezer layer, and put the fresh vegetables and fruits into the fresh-keeping layer, and then prepared the ingredients for tonight's cooking.
Aunt Mei knew that Peter had been busy all day, so she asked distressedly: "Peter, how about I do the cooking?"
"No, Aunt Mei, are you tired of Chinese food? I can also make pasta, sprinkle with cheese and chopped ham, it tastes pretty good too." Peter consciously put on his apron, rolled up his sleeves and got ready. Have a blast in the kitchen.
"How is that possible? None of the Chinese dishes you cook are the same. How could you get tired of them?" Aunt Mei sincerely praised.
Peter thought to himself, I know a lot of dishes, and I know a little bit of each of the eight major cuisines.
So the heavy responsibility of making dinner fell to Peter. In fact, he took it on his own initiative because he liked to cook delicious food for Aunt Mei and Mei Dai, and it gave him a sense of satisfaction to see them eating well.
Especially Mei Dai, who is usually cute and adorable, but shows off when eating.
It will be a lot easier to worry about not having to chase the feeding children.
It may also be related to her spider gene. I remember that Peter also had symptoms of increased appetite when he first gained the power of spiders. Families that are not already wealthy often spend a lot more on food.
The Engel coefficient rises straight up.
After a while, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen. Aunt Mei and Mei Dai came to the kitchen to supervise the work and taste the saltiness.
"It's delicious. It has the flavor of the spice you mentioned last time. What's the name of that spice?" Aunt Mei picked up a chopstick and put it in her mouth.
Peter smiled and said: "The nine-story tower is also called Jin Buhuan."
At this time, Peter noticed that Medei was saying "Ah" with her mouth wide open. Seeing that Peter didn't respond, she blinked and gestured to him, pointing to the dishes on the plate with her short arms.
"Don't worry, your part hasn't been done yet."
Because Mei Dai is a one-year-old cub, the meat she eats must be cut into fine mince pieces so that it is easy for her to swallow. Peter specially made children's meals for her. The staple food is millet porridge, and the complementary food is carrots and beef.
Seeing that she had nothing to eat, Medei turned her face away angrily, not looking at Peter, the bad guy.
But she wouldn't be angry for long before she would let go and come back to play with Peter again.
Peter, who was quick with his hands and feet, quickly prepared dinner, and he didn't forget to put a few pieces of chocolate into Ink during the process.
After Ink tasted several kinds of chocolate, he only found the triangular pyramid-like one to be the most delicious. After that, he specified that he wanted this kind, but refused other brands of chocolate and became picky.
A sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously when the table was filled with the food he had cooked, and Peter quickly called Aunt May to come over and eat while it was still hot.
As a result, Mei Dai arrived a step ahead of her, so she climbed onto the child seat with guardrails and waited for Aunt Mei to put a bib on her.
Peter found that Medei's crawling skills seemed to be getting better and better. Now a chair of about one meter was no longer difficult for her. I'm afraid she would be able to climb the wall before long.
"Aunt May, I'm thinking about whether we need to move to a more spacious place to live." Peter asked at the dinner table.
This is an idea after careful consideration. Peter's current economic crisis has been resolved and he is able to pay higher rent. More importantly, many of the next jobs require enough space. Moreover, Mei Dai's ability is gradually revealed, and she also needs to be able to A place of activity.
Aunt Mei said with a worried look: "But the rent for a big apartment shouldn't be cheap."
Peter vowed that he could afford it, and that as long as Aunt May and Medei were willing, they could change their lives.
"Why do you suddenly want to move? Peter, where do you want to move?"
"It's probably around Midtown. I think it's pretty good there. It's also close to public facilities like hospitals."
Aunt May was still hesitant. She had lived on this street for many years. She had lived here when Peter was still a young boy. At that time, the family of three was Aunt May, Uncle Ben and Parker.
There are so many memories of the past here that it’s hard to let go.
She was used to getting up at nine o'clock every day, taking Medei for a walk in the park, breathing fresh air, and then having breakfast at the Mexican restaurant on the corner. On the way back, she would always meet Mrs. Ethel weeding in the garden, and She said hello and returned to her apartment to read today's edition of the Daily Bugle.
Aunt May is familiar with every neighbor on this street, including Mrs. Phoebe who likes to dress up in a flashy style, Mr. Shelby who is always pushed to sleep on the sofa by his wife, and the young people who are busy making a living and running around New York every day. people.
New York is a city that isn't too friendly most of the time, and life goes on.
Peter could see that Aunt Mei was still reluctant to leave this place, and he realized that it was normal for Aunt Mei to have such a reaction after spending half her life here.
Because I lack the memory of living here, I don't have much emotion for this street.
But Aunt Mei is different, her most precious memories and people are here.
Peter suddenly understood Aunt Mei's dilemma and said, "Actually, it's not necessary to move. I can also buy this apartment and renovate and expand it."
Aunt Mei's eyes lit up when she heard this and asked: "Really?"
Peter nodded, and Aunt May's worries suddenly disappeared.
She began to think about her future life: "When the time comes, you turn a room into a baby room for Mei Dai to live in. If I want to, I can just live in the guest room. If guests come, I will give up the guest room and squeeze in with Mei Dai." . The room must be soundproofed. Mei Dai will also need a quiet environment to study when she grows up. She is so smart that she can definitely be admitted to the best university in New York."
"It's too early." Peter looked at Medei, who couldn't speak yet, and felt an invisible pressure on Medei.
Mei Dai didn't know what they were talking about, and just looked at them with big innocent eyes.
Aunt Mei said excitedly: "It's not too late. Children grow up very fast. In the blink of an eye, they will grow up without you knowing it. So you must be mentally prepared. It is not easy to educate children." Things. I still remember that Mei Dai was just a palm-sized baby at that time, but now she can crawl around on her own."
Peter Parker said: "There is no need to worry about Medei's education. You have educated Peter Parker into a very good person. I believe Medei can do the same."
He sincerely felt that Aunt May and Uncle Ben played an indispensable role in Peter Parker's growth. They were the mentors of Peter Parker's soul.
Aunt Mei was a little relieved, she still felt full of hope for the future.
