By the time we parked the car and carried our things upstairs, it was already six o'clock in the evening. Even in winter in Haicheng, the days are very long, and it doesn't get dark until almost seven o'clock. At this time, the lights are on, and the urban area is illuminated by colorful neon lights.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled a strong aroma of food. This is a warm feeling that I rarely experience when I go back to my own home.
When I was in school, I would be envious when I passed by the door of other people's houses and smelled the strong aroma of food. Because my mother was busy with work in the company, she would either not come back for dinner and let my father take me to a restaurant, or she would just come back and cook together. For takeout, occasionally she would buy a few dishes and cook them when she was in a good mood and had time, but the taste was really unflattering, and only my dad would praise it when he was forced to do so.
Liang Rui walked out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes, bared her little tiger teeth and said happily: "Sister genius, you are here!"
I smiled and replied: "Here I am, sorry to keep you waiting."
Liang Sheng followed me, obviously unhappy. After Liang Rui put the dishes on the table, he said coldly: "Xiao Liang Rui, come here!"
Liang Rui clapped his hands, walked over in confusion, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Did you only see her and not me?" Liang Sheng asked him pretending to be reproachful.
Xiao Liang Rui rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Xiao Liang Sheng, you are here!"
I couldn't help but laugh. You must know that Liang Sheng's identity and status are supported by thousands of people. No matter where he goes, no one will be bored even looking at him like Xiao Liang Rui. Liang Sheng also clearly felt Xiao Liang Rui's attitude. He was so angry that he directly pinched Xiao Liang Rui's ears and lectured him: "If you continue to act like this, I won't take care of you."
Who knew that Xiao Liangrui immediately shouted: "Qiao Wan! Qiao Wan! Your son is bullying me!"
Qiao Wan's voice shouted from the kitchen: "If he dares to bully you, I will help you deal with him later."
"Okay." Liang Rui stopped struggling and raised his face to let Liang Sheng pinch his ears. He stood still obediently with no expression on his face.
Liang Sheng actually let go of his hand. I didn't understand what the trick was, but I still laughed uncontrollably.
Xiaoliang Rui asked the big devil to come over and hold my hand immediately. I was pulled to the sofa. His chubby little hands deftly opened the carton on the coffee table, "Here, this is what I have caught these days." I’ll give you all my dolls!”
I was surprised and a little bit dumbfounded. There must be at least twenty or thirty boxes in this box. I asked Xiao Liangrui with a wry smile: "Why did you catch so many dolls?" He couldn't be used as food, and this child was too persistent. Quite a bit.
Xiao Liang Rui frowned pretending to be deep: "Don't you girls all like this? The female classmates in our class asked me for them and I didn't give them any."
I smiled crazily: "If you don't give them anything, won't they stop liking you?"
Xiao Liangrui actually said something that surprised me. He said: "I don't need them to like you, snobbish girl!"
I turned to look at Liang Sheng, dumbfounded. Liang Sheng's eyes were bright and he was smiling, but he was obviously much calmer than me.
Before I could praise him for his wisdom, he pushed the box closer to me and muttered to himself: "I can only give you so much for now. All the claw machines near our school are broken, and I can't catch them recently!"
"Are they all broken? How come they are all broken?" I asked him strangely.
Xiao Liangrui shook his head seriously: "I don't know. As soon as those bosses look at me, they will directly say that the claw machine is broken and has not been repaired."
I finally couldn't help laughing, and Liang Sheng also laughed. Xiao Liangrui didn't understand why we were laughing. He showed his little tiger teeth and said, "I think it's funny too. So many claw machines are all broken."
A five-year-old child, no matter how smart he is, will not understand human nature and lies. I slowly suppressed my smile and said to him: "In that case, let's catch a good claw machine later, okay?"
Liang Rui nodded, but immediately shook his head and pouted, "But I won't be able to catch your doll for a long time."
"Why?" The smile on my face disappeared.
Liang Rui said, "I'm going to the United States tomorrow, and my mother said it will take a long time to come back."
I glanced at Liang Sheng, who nodded.
Suddenly I felt a little depressed. Although Liang Rui and I had only met twice, he suddenly wanted to go abroad, and I felt a little reluctant to leave him. Maybe it’s because I’ve never seen such a smart child, and I really like him.
But growing up in the United States is better than growing up in China, especially for a child like him who will definitely succeed when he grows up.
I touched his little head and said with a smile: "Then when you come back next time, please bring me all the dolls you caught in the United States?"
Liang Rui nodded happily.
Qiao Wan ran out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup and said, "It's scalding me to death. It's scalding me to death!"
Then he saw the braised food on the dining table, and his expression immediately changed, "You brat, you bought another dish!"
Liang Sheng shrugged and didn't care.
During the meal, Qiao Wan said to me, "You don't know, he dislikes the taste of my cooking. Every time I cook, he will buy some cooked vegetables and bring them back. In the end, the dishes I worked so hard to cook are overturned." , he ate all the vegetables he bought."
I thought to myself that this was quite in line with Liang Sheng's style, and then I responded with a smile: "Since he thinks your cooking is unpalatable, then let him cook."
Qiao Wan laughed loudly: "Let him cook, he would rather invite us out for a Manchu banquet!"
I took a bite of Qiao Wan's cooking and found it pretty good. It was much more delicious than my mother's cooking. I sneered at Liang Sheng and said, "Isn't it delicious if you are accustomed to it?"
Liang Sheng looked at me in disbelief, "Are you sure your tongue coating is not bad?"
"Fuck you, you'll know if you try it yourself." I picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put it in Liang Sheng's bowl. Liang Sheng frowned slightly and hesitated for a long time before taking it into his mouth with a frown and chewing. After a few mouthfuls, his brows slowly widened, and after a while he replied: "Have you made progress?"
Qiao Wan raised her eyebrows proudly: "Of course, not seeing me for one day is like three autumns. You haven't eaten my food in several years!"
After saying that, Xiao Liang Rui slowly extended his small chopsticks to the plate, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. Then he nodded solemnly: "Well, it's progress."
Qiao Wan stretched out her hand and knocked on his head: "You are so tall, but you have never eaten my food."
"It's conceivable." Xiao Liang Rui shook his head and said seriously, "It doesn't take a person like Xiao Liang Sheng to buy groceries by himself."
I burst out laughing again, and Qiao Wan glared at Liang Rui: "I hurt you for nothing!"
However, this time, not only did all the dishes made by Qiao Wan be eaten, but all the kilograms of braised food he bought were also wiped out. As Liang Sheng said, Qiao Wan and Liang Rui's appetite was so huge that they ate for two hours without stopping, until both of them were leaning on the sofa with their stomachs full, watching TV.
The burden of washing the dishes fell on Liang Sheng and me.
In the kitchen, I was just about to put on an apron and wash the dishes when Liang Sheng took the apron directly from my hand and said, "I'll do the washing."
I suppressed my laughter and looked at him, "You know how to wash?"
"Do you know how to wash?" Liang Sheng asked without hesitation.
I sighed, how did he know that I never wash dishes at home. However, it’s not because I’m lazy that I rarely wash dishes, but because I eat a lot of takeaways and rarely need to clean up the dishes myself. When I lived with my grandma, I did wash them for her.
Liang Sheng didn't let me wash, so I leaned to the side and watched him. He squeezed out the dishwashing liquid slowly, and his hands holding documents did not hesitate to reach into the oil-stained sewage. He concentrated on washing the dishes, looking at him from time to time. I glance. "What's that look in your eyes?"
I smiled and said softly: "Do you know when men are most handsome?"
Liang Sheng looked at the faucet in front of him, and said in a neutral tone: "When washing dishes, when paying, and" he paused suddenly, and looked at me with deep eyes: "when going to bed."
I covered my face and corrected him helplessly: "When doing housework, when doing housework, when doing housework." This is a funny joke I saw on Weibo, but I agree with what Liang Sheng said in my heart. That answer.
When we finished washing the dishes and went out, we happened to hear Xiao Liangrui tilting his head and asking Qiao Wan: "Why is it that men are most handsome when they go to bed, but every time I climb into bed, my mother only says that I am like a man crawling in a manhole?" The dung beetle that came out?”
Xiao Liang Rui's words drove away all my embarrassment, but Qiao Wan added: "You can ask your genius sister about this, she has a better say."
Xiao Liang Rui immediately tilted his head and looked at me, with a kind of admiration in his clear eyes. I guess in his eyes I have become a powerful character who knows everything. I coughed twice to cover up the awkwardness in my heart and said, "This is mainly about appearance."
Liang Sheng seemed particularly satisfied with this answer. When I sent him downstairs in the evening, he suddenly pushed me against the car, leaned over and said, "In your eyes, am I not handsome at all times?!"
This gesture was too ambiguous. I was afraid of being seen, so I nodded perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, they are both handsome!"
Liang Sheng pecked me on the face and said with a low smile: "You're even more handsome when you're in bed?!"
"Yes, more handsome!" I gritted my teeth!
