In order not to let Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli see it, Wang Xiaohei immediately said: "Grandpa and grandma, you have worked hard all day. Let me cook for you tonight."
As soon as Wang Xiaohei said this, Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli looked at each other in surprise.
Because Wang Xiaohei was frail and sick when he was a child, Yue Xiuli and Wang Dadian were particularly fond of Wang Xiaohei. No matter how busy they were, they had to take time to cook for Wang Xiaohei. This also led to Wang Xiaohei not knowing how to cook at all. .
"Xiaohei, can you cook?" Yue Xiuli looked at Wang Xiaohei in surprise.
"Grandma, I can cook." Wang Xiaohei answered without thinking.
Suddenly, Wang Xiaohei thought of something.
Wang Xiaohei remembered that he learned to cook when he was working. At that time, he often learned to cook at home alone on weekends, so Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli in front of him didn't know about it at all.
In order not to be discovered by Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli, Wang Xiaohei could only smile and say: "Grandma, just let me cook for you once!"
Although Yue Xiuli and Wang Dadian were full of doubts, they finally agreed to Wang Xiaohei's request.
Wang Xiaohei started making braised pork based on the memory in his mind.
Seeing Wang Xiaohei busy in the kitchen in an orderly manner, Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli were also a little confused.
"When did Xiao Hei know how to cook? Why didn't I know?" Yue Xiuli muttered quietly.
"That's right, how come Xiao Hei knows how to cook?" Wang Dadian also said with some confusion.
"If Xiao Hei wants to do it, just let him do it. At worst, I can do it for you again later." Yue Xiuli said with a doting look on her face.
Maybe it was because I used natural gas for cooking when I was working in the Northeast, so I forgot how to make a fire for a while.
"Well, grandma, how do you start this fire?" Wang Xiaohei asked awkwardly.
The stoves in rural areas are earth stoves and require firewood.
"Haha, how about I do it? Xiaohei, go and play." Yue Xiuli replied with a smile.
"No, grandma, just tell me where the lighter is." Wang Xiaohei said while looking for the lighter.
Seeing Wang Xiaohei looking around, Yue Xiuli slowly walked towards Wang Xiaohei and took out the matches from under the oil paper on the stove.
"Xiao Hei, the match is placed here so it won't get wet again."
Wang Xiaohei smiled awkwardly, and then took the match from Yue Xiuli's hand.
With the match in hand, Wang Xiaohei quickly stoked the fire, and then asked Yue Xiuli to go out to rest.
Yue Xiuli and Wang Dadian sat on stools outside the house, and then talked about Wang Xiaohei's changes. The Wang Xiaohei in front of him seemed to have changed. The previous Wang Xiaohei was not only naughty, but also had poor academic performance. Now Xiaohei is not only obedient and sensible, but also the first in the school...
Such changes also made Yue Xiuli and Wang Dadian feel a little bit strange.
Wang Xiaohei glanced around the kitchen and found that apart from the pork he bought before, there were only a few eggs and a few wilted-looking chili peppers left. He skillfully washed the peppers, then cracked the eggs into a bowl, stirring them with chopsticks.
As the smoke curled up from the kitchen, Wang Xiaohei had the meal ready in a short while.
"Grandpa, grandma, it's time to eat!" Wang Xiaohei shouted loudly outside the house with a smile on his face.
"Okay, here we come." A voice responded from outside the house.
When Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli washed their hands and walked to the dining table, they saw braised pork and other dishes on the table.
Wang Dadian smelled it and said with a smile: "It smells so good!"
"Grandpa and grandma, please sit down and eat. Try the braised pork I cooked to see if it tastes good." Wang Xiaohei said with a smile.
Looking at the eggs, chili peppers, and the plate full of braised pork on the table, Yue Xiuli's originally smiling face became a little distressed.
You know, these eggs were laid by the chickens raised at home. I planned to save them for the New Year, but now Wang Xiaohei fried them all at once, and I felt a little distressed for no reason.
Wang Xiaohei also saw what Yue Xiuli was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Grandma, it's okay. I'll buy you more eggs next time and put them at home."
"Yeah, eat it quickly. It's just a few eggs. It's not a big deal. Anyway, we still have chickens at home. Can't we just wait for them to lay down? Don't think about it and eat quickly." Wang Dadian also comforted with a smile.
Although Yue Xiuli was still a little distressed, she saw that Wang Xiaohei and Wang Dadian were trying to persuade her, so she didn't get too entangled in the matter.
Then they took one look at Wang Xiaohei and started eating. The two of them kept praising Wang Xiaohei's cooking skills and even said he could become a chef. Wang Xiaohei saw that the food he cooked was very suitable for his grandparents' taste. So I was very happy.
At the dinner table, Wang Xiaohei kept serving braised pork to Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli, hoping that they could eat more in their lifetimes.
Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli also kept picking up food for Wang Xiaohei.
"Xiao Hei, you are still growing, you must eat more."
"Grandpa and grandma, please eat quickly!"
In this way, under the bright yellow light of the incandescent lamp, the faces of several people were happy and looked very warm and harmonious.
"Xiao Hei, how come you know how to cook? And you make it so delicious." Yue Xiuli asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Wang Xiaohei didn't know how to answer. He couldn't say that he was reborn in this era, right? Besides, even if I say it, no one will believe it. After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiaohei touched his head, and then said with a smile: "Grandma, I was quietly watching from the side while you were cooking. I'll get used to it."
After hearing this, Wang Dadian said with a smile: "We Xiaohei are smart, we can know it at a glance, and we can also make it so delicious that we can open a restaurant..."
"Grandpa and grandma, as long as you like to eat, it's fine. If you grow up with me, I should grow old with you." Wang Xiaohei said with a smile.
After the meal, Wang Xiaohei returned to the room. Under the illumination of the yellow light, he took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket. There are one-yuan ones and two-yuan ones, but most of them are 10 cents, 20 cents and 50 cents.
Wang Xiaohei carefully organized the money, and then began to count the amounts carefully.
"One cent, two cents, one piece, two pieces..."
