When going to bed at night, Zhong Ziqi wanted to pack up the bedding and go to another room. When he was in the hospital, there was a couch next to the bed, so he could make do with it. When he got home, he was even more embarrassed to sleep on the bed with him.
It's just that his actions were strongly protested by Zhao Zhengan.
"Where are you going?" Zhao Zhengan squinted his eyes and asked unhappily.
The "next door" Zhong Ziqi was a little apprehensive.
"The two of us are getting married, so why are you embarrassed? What's the point of sleeping next door?" After speaking, Zhao Zhengan moved inside: "Sleep here."
Zhong Ziqi looked at the vacant space hesitantly. Although the other party's approval made him happy, he really didn't want to share the bed with him. He wasn't ready yet.
... But obviously Zhao Zhengan didn't prepare for him, so he took the quilt from his hand, put it on the bed and laid it on the bed: "Okay, let's go to sleep."
Zhong Ziqi had no choice but to undress and lie on the side of the bed, trying not to be next to him, with her back straight.
Zhao Zhengan looked at him amusedly, is it so painful to sleep with him, and he can't do anything to him, his current body is not useful.
Zhao Zhengan lay down on the side, and put his hands on Zhong Ziqi's body habitually. When he found that the person's body was stiff, Zhao Zhengan laughed secretly, and he always had to adapt slowly.
"Can you... take your hand away? It's uncomfortable." Zhong Ziqi said in a weak voice. He had goosebumps. He was obviously fine before.
"No, go to sleep, I've been tired all day." After speaking, Zhao Zhengan tightened his stiff body into his arms, and felt that the man wanted to talk again: "Shh, don't make noise, I'm going to sleep."
Zhong Ziqi held back his words, wanting to cry but no tears, how could he sleep like this? Zhong Ziqi thought he couldn't fall asleep, but in the end he fell asleep too, and was awakened by a heavy breathing in the middle of the night.
Zhong Ziqi turned her head immediately, Zhao Zhengan couldn't be seen clearly in the darkness: "What's wrong with you? Do you have a headache? Ah? Talk!!"
After a while, the panting gradually subsided: "It's okay, did I wake you up? Go back to sleep."
"How can I sleep like this!" Zhong Ziqi said angrily.
Zhao Zhengan was silent, and suddenly reached out to hug him, holding him tightly in his arms. Zhong Ziqi was completely stiff now, her whole body was Sparta, the body temperature of another person and a faint smell of sweat rushed towards her face, making Zhong Ziqi dizzy for a while.
"Sleep, if you don't sleep, I'm going to do something else." Zhao Zhengan whispered in his ear.
The warm breath sprayed into Zhong Ziqi's ears, making it tingling, he couldn't help but shrink back, unable to move at all, so he had to lie obediently in that embrace without making a sound.
Perhaps because the embrace was too warm, Zhong Ziqi slowly fell asleep, and someone in the dark laughed silently, and her head didn't hurt so much.
The next morning, when Zhong Ziqi woke up, he was still sleeping in Zhao Zhengan's arms. He blushed, and carefully crawled out of his arms, put on his clothes and went into the kitchen. It's not his innocence, but his life of more than 20 years in his previous life, his feelings are like blank paper, his family is old-fashioned, puppy love is not allowed, and he has never met anyone who makes his heart beat. When he was in college, he finally found a man he liked, and he never went out to spend time and drink out of the mentality of preferring to be short, so he was still a virgin until he died.
Even though he usually tries to avoid physical contact with that person, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold back and pounce on him. So how could he not be awkward if someone suddenly came into contact with him at close range.
After washing his face with cold water, Zhong Ziqi started to cook with a refreshed body. There was still leftover fish soup from yesterday, so he put it in the pot to heat it up.
Yesterday I bought a large piece of meat in the town, Zhong Ziqi cut half of it, and put the rest away, the hot summer weather can’t hold anything back, the meat will go bad after two days, so I have to eat it as soon as possible, like last time The meat bought for the second elder of the Zhong family, because of an accident, was put aside without paying attention, and finally broke, and he felt distressed for a long time when he threw it away!
Wash the meat and chop it on a board, chop it into minced meat, the more minced the better.
Then put it into a bowl and add ginger powder, rice wine, starch and rice points, and protein. In particular, there are only two eggs left in the house, and he bought them from Amo Zhao's house.
Stir the meat well, shape into small balls and set aside.
I remembered that the cold noodles were not cooked, and he had a lot of rice noodles left. He rummaged through the kitchen cabinets to find out the rice noodles, took a handful and soaked them in hot water.
Add half a pot of water to the pot and boil, put the meatballs in and bring to a boil over high heat, then add shredded rice, there are a lot of cabbage at home, Zhong Ziqi also put some in and cover the pot, wait until it is cooked, add a small amount Sprinkle with refined salt and a little diced green onion to get out of the pan.
The name of this dish is Meatball Rice Fen Shredded Soup. It is a bit troublesome to make, but it is just right for patients to eat without feeling too bland.
After taking out the dishes and putting them aside, Zhong Ziqi turned around and found Zhao Zhengan walked in at some point, standing not far behind him: "Why did you come out?"
"I'll wash my face and get ready for dinner." Zhao Zhengan said with a smile. He was woken up by the sound of Zhong Ziqi chopping meat at first, and then he was attracted to the kitchen by the smell of vegetables.
"I'm hungry." Zhao Zhengan blinked and said again.
Zhong Ziqi: "You go in and wait, I'll be fine soon."
Zhao Zhengan reached out to help him carry it, but Zhong Ziqi stretched out his hand and slapped it away, both of them froze for a moment.
Zhong Ziqi: "... Well, I'll just carry it over, this one is too heavy."
Zhao Zhengan had no choice but to see again, he was not a porcelain doll.
At the dinner table, "It's delicious, the restaurants in the town are not as good as your cooking." Zhao Zhengan praised sincerely.
"It's not that exaggerated." Zhong Ziqi snorted, "Have you ever eaten in a restaurant?"
"I have eaten. When I was working in the town, I also went to a restaurant as a waiter."
Zhong Ziqi's curiosity was aroused: "Then why don't you continue to do it?"
"bankrupt."
"..." Zhong Ziqi laughed: "What have you done in the town?"
Zhao Zheng'an thought for a while: "I have worked as a shopkeeper, built houses for others, moved goods, sold goods... I have done a lot, but the money in the town is not so easy to earn. There are many people like me. Every job Everyone has to rush to do it, or they will be snatched away by others.
Zhong Ziqi nodded understandingly: "I heard they said you made a lot of money!" "
Zhao Zheng'an ate a meatball and said inarticulately: "It's all rumors, there aren't that many, some of them were exchanged by me with prey."
"You know how to hunt?" Zhong Ziqi was even more surprised.
Zhao Zhengan shook his head: "I'm not good at it. When I was young, my grandpa and grandma lived in this house. My dad and grandma came every now and then to deliver some food. I have been close to grandpa and grandma since I was a child, and I often come here Look at them. It's just that my dad and they never give money except for some food, and they don't make a piece of clothes all year round. The life of my grandpa and grandma is even more difficult."
"The money in my family is kept by my mother, and I can't get it out. Later, I went to the mountains to chop firewood and carry it to the town to sell. The money I sold was used to buy some meat for my grandpa." Zhao Zhengan recalled those days. Although it is very hard, he is very happy because of their love and company.
"Then what happened afterwards?" Zhong Ziqi couldn't help asking, no wonder the Zhao family's house was so well preserved, it was always occupied by people.
"Later—then my mother heard that I sold firewood for money. He got angry and asked me where the money went. I didn't dare to tell the truth, so I lied to him that the money was gone. At that time, I Mu beat me up! Later, all the money for chopping firewood and selling it had to be handed over to my mother, so a penny or two was not much. One day when I went into the mountain, I saw rabbits and pheasants in the mountain, and I missed me. If you can catch them, you will get more money selling them. I have thought about it for a long time, and dug a lot of traps in the places where animals often run. After watching them all night, I found that one or two silly rabbits or pheasants fell. I was afraid that Ah Mu would find out that I hid them in firewood and brought them into the city, let alone worth a lot of money. A live pheasant can be sold for nearly 20 yuan. I opened the door to a new world. From then on, I made money by hunting, and then covered it with firewood. However, there are not many small animals nearby, and most of them are inside. I was too young to go too far. Go inside, but this is enough for me to make clothes for my grandparents and improve the food."
Zhong Ziqi listened without blinking, and suddenly felt that the memories she brought from her previous life were nothing, this is amazing, dare to go up the mountain to hunt at the age of ten, what am I doing in my teens? It seems that I am still reciting texts at home! This is the naked gap! !
"Later, when I was twelve years old, both my grandfather and grandma passed away one after another, and I gradually came here less often, for fear of hurting the scene, so I would hand over the money to my grandma when I made more money, but now I want to It was really stupid to think back then." Zhao Zhengan shook his head and stopped talking, focusing on eating.
But Zhong Ziqi knew what he meant, and couldn't help feeling distressed. It was conceivable that the little Zhao Zhengan foolishly thought that if he worked hard to make money, Emu and Daddy could treat themselves better, watch him more, and share more love. give him.
How long can the family relationship based on money last
