Chapter 679: a family of three
Chapter 679 A family of three
Li Lei also thought of this and was very surprised.
However, I am a little worried: "You are so young, can you learn it?" Cooking is a laborious activity, and it is very dangerous to use fire and knife. No matter how much Shaohui loves to do housework, he is only a four or five-year-old child. People are not as tall as a stove, what if something happens to them?
As if reading his mind, Shaohui said: "Uncle will customize a set of kitchen utensils for me, and I can cook directly on that set of kitchen utensils. I will also ask my sister to order a set, and I can cook for her." have eaten."
This kid is indeed very witty, Li Lei smiled and said yes.
I'm a little worried that I won't be able to pass Xia Ling's test. Shao Hui said: "I'll find a way."
So it was settled.
Li Lei went to the kitchen to cook. Shao Hui followed him in consciously and said, "Uncle, please teach me while cooking. Let's cook together for my sister."
So, Li Lei told him step by step how to peel tomatoes, and also told him which kind of rice to use to make the most fragrant and delicious rice. He also said that different ingredients should be selected at different temperatures in different seasons, and more attention should be paid to them. Shao Hui looked attentive, listened with gusto, and his movements were unambiguous. The tomatoes he peeled out were beautiful and complete.
Li Lei looked at his masterpiece and praised it: "It's better than what your sister did for the first time...oh no, it's much better than what she does now." This child is indeed not Xiao Ling's biological child. Look at the huge difference. Just know the cooking cells.
Shaohui was very happy to be praised. He clapped his little hands and said cutely: "Uncle, when did you meet your sister? Can you tell me about the past between you and your sister?"
Li Lei's hand holding the spoon paused slightly.
He didn't come back to his senses until Shao Hui reminded him that the food was almost burnt. There was a hint of nostalgia in his voice: "Uncle and your sister have known each other for many years. She was like that at that time..."
Two people, one big and one small, were chatting while cooking.
Who didn't notice that a figure stood silently outside the kitchen door. It was petite and small, wearing a very homely dress, looking at them with a complicated expression.
Li Lei said while cracking egg droplets: "Your sister can't cook, and she doesn't like to cook. At that time, I thought, fortunately I like it, and fortunately the food I made is delicious. I can cook it in the future Give it to her for the rest of her life."
“What happened next?” Shao Hui asked in a soft voice, “Why didn’t you stay with your sister afterwards?”
"Because..." Li Lei stopped beating eggs and was silent for a long time before saying, "The world of adults is not as beautiful as a fairy tale. Maybe it is a test given to us by God, and I am still trying to pass it."
Little Shaohui seemed to understand.
Over there, the petite girl lowered her head slightly.
Shao Hui asked again: "Uncle, why do you add so much chopped green onion to this tomato and egg drop soup?"
“Because your sister likes it.”
“What else does sister like to eat?”
Li Lei’s treasures are as numerous as his.
Beside the door, the petite girl couldn't listen anymore and turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, I accidentally touched the chair and made a noise. Everyone in the kitchen turned their heads.
"elder sister!"
“Xiao Ling!”
Two people called her at the same time.
Xia Ling stood still, looking at the handsome face of the man wearing an apron in front of her, her heart rising and falling. He still has her in his heart, and he still remembers her favorite foods and her little habits in some home-cooked dishes. After so many years, it's hard for him to forget it. But, so what?
In addition to cooking for her, does he also cook for Su Tang and her son in his spare time?
Xia Ling felt extremely sad as she imagined the three of them talking and laughing in the kitchen.
"When did you come?" Li Lei took a few steps forward happily and said, "You sit down first, Shao Hui and I will prepare the meal soon."
Xia Ling just looked at him motionless, and then said, "Li Lei, you kidnapped my child here just to get him to help you cook?"
“I pestered Uncle Li to learn it myself.” Shaohui quickly defended his stupid father.
Xia Ling glared at him.
Shao Hui was innocent and cute: "Uncle Li's cooking is delicious. Sister, after I learn how to cook it, I can cook it for you every day."
“I don’t need it.” Xia Ling said coldly.
"I can cook it for myself," Shao Hui rarely spoke so fluently, "I like to eat Uncle Li's cooking. I just had a few bites and it was delicious. Sister, if you don't let me eat it, just let me eat it." Can I go to Uncle Li’s house for dinner every day?”
Xia Ling: "..." Is this child a golden retriever? How come someone just kidnapped me and took me away?
There was a burning smell coming from the pot.
A few people were talking too much and burned things. Li Lei hurried to look, and then took time out of his busy schedule to say to Xia Ling: "Xiao Ling, wait a minute, the meal will be ready soon. No matter how much you have any objections to me, for the sake of the child, leave after the meal." Bar."
Shaohui also said: "Look, sister, I learned how to peel a tomato today." He raised the peeled tomato high and showed it to her.
Xia Ling saw that he was having so much fun, and she really couldn't bear to hit him, so she had to wait nearby.
Shao Hui's talent in cooking was indeed impressive, and Li Lei gave a few casual instructions as if he was decent. However, the child was small and weak, and even his hands were small. When peeling cabbage, he couldn't even hold the cabbage firmly.
Xia Ling couldn’t stand it anymore, so she peeled it off for him. It's true that she doesn't like cooking, but she doesn't want to see her children suffer. Shaohui was very happy. This was the first time for his parents and his family of three to cook together. It was so memorable. Looking at the messy battlefield in the room, the little child said happily: "Just wait."
He ran out in a hurry, grabbed a servant and came back to take a group photo of the three of them.
Xia Ling was not very happy: "What's there to take a picture of?"
Shao Hui said softly: "Today I learned to cook for the first time."
Xia Ling couldn’t say anything. Although her face was still expressionless, she still cooperated in taking photos. Shao Hui stood between the two of them, holding Li Lei with one hand and her with the other, smiling brightly, looking like a family of three. The moment the servant was about to press the shutter, a leopard also jumped out and forced itself into the frame. So, the photo became a family of three plus a leopard, with a messy kitchen in the background.
It was unexpectedly warm.
Shaohui looked at the photos with great interest and said he would go back and frame them. Someone has helped them put the food on the plate and serve it to the table. Xia Ling ate in silence. It had been a long time since she had tasted Li Lei's cooking skills. As the taste brought back many memories from the past, her expression showed a bit of sadness.
Li Lei didn't speak much, he just looked at her tenderly.
Shao Hui seemed carefree by himself, chattering non-stop, and the atmosphere at the dinner table did not seem awkward at all. Except…
Suddenly, a little boy was pushed in a wheelchair and appeared in front of everyone...
