"Do you like drinking apple cider vinegar?"
Ning Huanxin looked at Xia Zhenzhen in a strange way.
"Does Mei Aoxue also like this taste? I remember Wu Yi didn't like sour things before."
Ning Huanxin couldn't help but murmured.
Hearing Ning Huanxin's words, Xia Zhenzhen blinked in confusion. She really didn't remember any past events related to Mei Aoxue.
Seeing Xia Zhenzhen's confused expression, Ning Huanxin couldn't help but raise her hand and pat her shoulder: "Don't think so much now, come and drink some apple cider vinegar."
"oh."
Xia Zhenzhen nodded. As soon as the familiar taste entered her throat, she couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her lips and whisper involuntarily.
"When I was young, there was an apple tree in our garden. It was the only fruit tree in our family. My grandparents wanted to pick apples and sell them for money in the fall. I was really greedy at that time. But I didn't dare to say it, and I didn't dare to ask for it. Because my family is really too poor.”
Xia Zhenzhen felt a little sad when she mentioned the past.
Her grandparents really loved her and took the initiative to leave the good apples to her. However, she was very sensible since she was a child and secretly put the apples back. Later, her grandma found out and sold the remaining ones, which were not good-looking. For apples, or those that had been left for too long, I used the white vinegar and rock sugar at home to make apple cider vinegar and canned apples, which were sour and sweet, and gave them to Xia Zhenzhen to drink.
“That was the best drink and the best snack I’ve ever had in my life.”
Recalling her childhood, Xia Zhenzhen's eyes became very complicated and gentle.
"It's a pity that... the tree died."
Having said this, Xia Zhenzhen sighed. When she looked up, she saw Ning Huanxin sitting beside her, looking at her with twinkling eyes.
"Miss Ning, you..."
"You are the same as Wu Yi, just make me happy."
Ning Huanxin smiled faintly at Xia Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, if you are willing, can you tell me more about your childhood? By the way... why did you think of painting plum blossoms? Do you also have plum trees at home?"
Ning Huanxin pointed to the picture of red plum blossoms and snow on the wall opposite the living room. That picture was particularly vivid. Ning Huanxin just wanted to know how Xia Zhenzhen painted it
"plum bossom?"
Hearing Ning Huanxin mention plum blossoms, Xia Zhenzhen blinked: "My neighbor's surname is Mei, and there is a plum tree in their yard. The plum blossoms bloom especially fragrant and beautiful in winter, because Uncle Mei and his family have no children. So they are very good to me. I often go to their house. When I was a child, I would draw plum blossoms in the snow when it snowed. In fact... the reason why I study art and the reason why I can draw well is also thanks to them, because plum blossoms My uncle was an art teacher in our village. He saw that I was very talented and gave me some pointers, which made me have a strong interest in painting since I was a child."
Xia Zhenzhen’s neighbor’s surname is Mei.
This is exactly what Mei Aoxue said to Wu Yi. Mei Aoxue told Wu Yi that she and Xia Zhenzhen were neighbors and good sisters who had played together since childhood.
only…
Xia Zhenzhen said that the Mei family had no children. Even Xia Zhenzhen's grandparents did not remember that the Mei family had a child. There was no Mei Aoxue in the household registration system.
So…
Ning Huanxin's eyes flashed, and she suddenly looked at Xia Zhenzhen and asked again: "Zhenzhen, did you have any good friends who played with you when you were a child? What are they studying now? Are there any who like art as much as you do?"
