"Tomorrow night!" Shen Chenming replied to Qin Shuangshuang, "I don't have much vacation left, so I have to finish what I have to do quickly. When I cancel my vacation, I will leave all the family affairs to you.
Treating guests is a big deal. Let's plan it carefully tonight and make a menu. I'll buy it tomorrow morning. "
"That's okay too."
Shen Chenming had an idea and she supported it. Treating guests was indeed a big deal and should be done early.
Seeing that the wood in the stove was burning, Qin Shuangshuang threw a few more pieces of wood in, then picked up the briquettes and put them down.
This time it was terrible, the smoke was even bigger.
Shen Chenming was afraid that she would be choked, so he quickly pulled her away and prevented her from staying near the stove.
"Girl! You've been busy all afternoon. Let's go inside and rest for a while." Shen Chenming pulled the person to sit down and asked without blushing, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable there? Does it hurt?"
Blushing, Qin Shuangshuang rolled his eyes at him: "Much better."
"That's good, I'll do whatever you want to eat tonight." Shen Chenming volunteered to show off.
Qin Shuangshuang was not polite: "I want to eat porridge, let's cook some porridge in a pressure cooker! Just fry some vegetables to go with it."
"Okay!" Shen Chenming agreed, holding the little girl in his arms, "I'll cook porridge and stir-fry vegetables later. Just rest. Do you want to watch TV?"
"don't want."
People in later generations basically don't watch TV, but watch on their mobile phones. She is really not that enthusiastic about TV.
Seeing that there seemed to be less smoke outside the door, Qin Shuangshuang stood up and said, "I'll go out and see if the briquettes are burning."
"I'll go and see, you sit down."
"No, you don't know how. Don't ruin it by messing around. Wait until the briquettes are burning before you cook the porridge."
Shen Chenming was speechless. He really didn't know how to burn briquettes, but he did know how to burn gas stoves. He had done so abroad.
The little girl's home seems to have a wood stove and no briquette stove. How did she do this?
Qin Shuangshuang: "..."
Can I say that I learned it while working in a breakfast shop in my previous life?
When Qin Shuangshuang walked out of the room, she smelled the pungent smell of burning briquettes. I walked to the stove and took a look. The wood was burning vigorously and the bottom of the briquettes was already burning.
She used tongs to pull out the thatch ashes underneath and told Shen Chenming, "Take it into the kitchen! There's no need to put it outside."
"Okay! I'll do it."
Shen Chenming picked up the handle on the briquette stove and easily carried it into the kitchen and placed it on the original elevated position.
The little girl asked him to place it as a cushion, saying that it was too low to make him tired when cooking. She wanted to raise it a little higher for convenience.
He just got a few bricks and built a small square stone pier, on which the briquette stove was just right.
There was no kettle, so Qin Shuangshuang filled half a pot of water in a pressure cooker and prepared to boil some water. If there was no place to pour it, he poured it into the military kettle that Shen Chenming had brought back.
Anyway, the weather isn't very cold now, so it's not impossible to drink something cold.
When Shen Chenming saw the little girl sitting on the coal stove with water, he knew that she wanted to boil the water. Look, his little girl is so capable. If she doesn’t have a kettle, she uses a pressure cooker to boil water, so she can live a better life.
In the future, anyone who dares to say that his little girl can't live a good life and wastes money will be beaten to death. He won't believe it.
I have to buy a kettle and a thermos bottle tomorrow. I can't let the little girl boil water in a pressure cooker all the time. It's too troublesome.
The briquettes started to burn, and the wood underneath had been burned into charcoal. The briquettes were sitting upright on the charcoal. Qin Shuangshuang picked up another briquette and put it down.
A coal stove must be equipped with at least three briquettes, as one briquette is not enough firepower. Add one and it will be enough to cook porridge and stir-fry at night.
After cooking, seal the bottom of the stove and put water in a pressure cooker on top. When it is hot, you can take a bath.
Add another briquette before going to bed. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you can just open it and cook without adding more.
Shen Chenming had never burned a briquette stove and didn't know how to fix it, so he just watched silently. Once he learned how to do it, he would do it in the future.
He doesn't have much time at home, so he tries to do as much as he can to help the girl.
The girl is very smart. Even if she has never done anything at home, she probably knows a lot about it and can do it easily.
In the evening, the two of them cooked some porridge, fried eggplants, drank two bowls each, and finished the vegetables.
Shen Chenming went to wash the dishes, while Qin Shuangshuang was watching TV.
"Girl! I'm going to the teacher's house tonight. You can come with me!"
"Going to the teacher's house? Is it far away?" Qin Shuangshuang turned off the TV and unplugged it, "You want to invite him to our house for dinner?"
"Yes!" Shen Chenming pinched the little girl's nose, "I guess he won't come, he's just going through the motions. If he doesn't come, we don't have to go to the deputy division commander's place. I'll follow him when I go to work. Just say it.
He must already know about Yang Tianhe and you. In order to avoid embarrassment, it is better not to get so close. "
"what ever."
Qin Shuangshuang never opposed Shen Chenming's decision. She didn't understand the routine here and what she objected to, she just followed it.
Taking a cigarette, two packs of wedding candies, and a bottle of wine, carrying them in a cloth bag, the couple closed the door and walked towards the teacher's home.
The division commander’s surname is He Zhijun. He is in his forties, a big northern man, and he speaks like a northerner.
His lover's name is Guan Aizhen, who works at a credit union in the town.
The couple were very enthusiastic. When they saw Shen Chenming and Qin Shuangshuang arriving, they quickly stood up to greet them.
He Zhijun smiled and teased Shen Chenming: "You can do it, but if you don't make a sound, you are already a blockbuster. You got married when you said you were going to get married, and you married such a beautiful little wife."
Guan Aizhen was a woman and joked: "No wonder I haven't been willing to talk about friends. It turns out that I already had it in my heart."
Qin Shuangshuang couldn't say anything, just smiled politely and listened to Shen Chenming's argument with the teacher and his wife.
"My little girl and I are destined to be together, and no one can break them apart."
There is a double entendre in one sentence, and any smart person can understand it.
"You kid!" He Zhijun nodded Shen Chenming's head from the air, "Your eyes are so vicious."
Guan Aizhen brought a glass of water to each of them and called to Qin Shuangshuang: "Come on, wife Chenming! Drink some water!"
"Thanks!"
Out of politeness, Qin Shuangshuang thanked him, picked up the water, and took a small sip.
What she drank in the evening was porridge. In fact, she was not thirsty at all, but she couldn't neglect Aizhen's enthusiasm. No matter whether she was thirsty or not, she had to give others face.
Otherwise, people will think she is arrogant and won't even drink when she comes to someone else's house.
It is polite to drink, but rude not to drink.
Shen Chenming knew that she was not thirsty, and originally wanted to explain to Guan Aizhen that they had porridge at night and no need to drink water, but he swallowed his words when he saw the little girl took a polite sip.
The little girl has already taken care of it, so if he talks too much, it will seem unnecessary.
I found that the little girl was still very measured in her dealings with others, as if she had never seen the world. He always felt that his mother-in-law was lying to him. The little girl didn't understand anything anymore. She obviously understood everything, okay?
Maybe in my hometown I felt there was no need to show it, so I hid it all.
