One big and one small are practicing love

Zuo Kunmin looked at Liu Xiaochen and said, "Her name is Bian Chang. She is my sister. She went home to celebrate the New Year. Please cook two bowls of noodles."

Bone soup, hand-made noodles, braised beef, and green vegetables are boiled, cut and blanched, then put into a bamboo hat bowl one by one, and you have a bowl of fragrant and delicious beef noodles.

Two bowls of noodles, a plate of braised vegetables, and a bowl of healthy mixed vegetables were placed on a tray together. Liu Xiaochen held them steadily and came to the wooden table.

Bian Chang was nowhere to be seen, only Zuo Kunmin was looking down at the notebook on the table.

"Teacher Zuo, where is your sister?" Liu Xiaochen asked as he placed them.

Zuo Kunmin raised his head when he heard the sound and said: "Please stop reading, or call me, don't take so many at once." He closed the notebook, took it out from the plate, and said: "Changchang went to my room to change clothes. , it’s hot in the room and she’s wearing too many layers of clothing.”

"Oops!" Liu Xiaochen looked panicked and whispered, "The bed isn't made yet?"

Zuo Kunmin smiled evilly and said, "I've laid it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bian Chang opened the door and came out.

She wore a loose hip-hop suit and raised her arms to tie her hair as she walked. With a few random fingers, he tied his blond hair into a ponytail with a black leather ring. The facial features are clearly exposed, as delicate and beautiful as Greek sculptures, the expression is indifferent, and the skin is white and shiny. She walks lazily and casually, as if she is unaware of her own beauty.

"The noodles are ready, eat quickly." Zuo Kunmin said to Bian Chang.

"Yeah!" Bian Chang sat down gently, with one leg crossed on the chair and the other hanging down, sitting casually, picking up chopsticks and eating noodles. I just took a bite and asked, "Is there any sugar?"

Liu Xiaochen was putting away pens, notebooks and other study supplies on the table. When he heard Bian Chang's words, he thought he had heard wrong and asked, "Candy? What kind of candy?"

Zuo Kunmin said: "White sugar, Changchang likes sweet things."

"Yes, I'll get it." Liu Xiaochen put down the things in his hands, went to the kitchen, got a porcelain jar filled with sugar, and handed it to Bian Chang.

"Thank you." Bian Chang took it, put three spoons of sugar into the bowl, mixed it, and continued eating.

At this time there was a knock on the door, Liu Xiaochen went to open the door and it was Shen Liang. He held two large glass jars in his hands. Said: "The soup and braised pork are ready."

"Well, I'll serve it for you." Liu Xiaochen said, took a glass jar and went to the kitchen.

Shen Liang followed behind and saw Zuo Kunmin and Bian Chang in the living room. He smiled and said hello: "Hello!" They also responded politely.

Liu Xiaochen first filled a large can of thick white beef soup, and then put beef, kelp, lotus root slices, eggs and other stewed vegetables into another can.

"Put more kelp." Shen Liang said from the side.

Liu Xiaochen closed the lid of the glass jar and said: "It's a lot, enough for you and Aunt Liu to eat for two days. I'll make it again after the New Year." After saying that, he handed over the jar filled with braised vegetables and braised meat. Shen Liang.

Shen Liang held a glass jar in each hand. He looked down at the jar in his hand and said with a smile, "Why do I feel like I'm here to beg?"

"You are very self-aware!" Liu Xiaochen smiled back.

After joking with each other, Shen Liang said goodbye to Zuo Kunmin and Bian Chang, and Liu Xiaochen opened the door to see Shen Liang off. Shen Liang never asked about Bian Chang, as if he wasn't curious about it and didn't care.

After sending Shen Liang away, Liu Xiaochen returned to the kitchen again, found a casserole from the kitchen cabinet, rinsed it, put some braised vegetables, braised beef, and soup into it, sprinkled two handfuls of sugar, mixed well, and put it in the cupboard.

After finishing all this, Liu Xiaochen looked at his watch, thinking that they had almost finished eating and it was time to go over and collect the bowls.

Liu Xiaochen came to the living room again and saw that Zuo Kunmin had finished his noodles and was eating stewed vegetables without saying a word. He looked at his cell phone and slowly ate the noodles, with half of it left.

Liu Xiaochen thought to himself that Bian Chang lived in the UK and would definitely not be used to her cooking. He would ask Zuo Kunmin later about Bian Chang's taste. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the door open and Zuo Yan came out of the room with her hair loose.

"Yanyan! You're awake." Bian Chang put down his chopsticks and mobile phone, stood up with a smile, walked quickly to Zuo Yan, bent down and hugged Zuo Yan tightly and said, "Yanyan, do you miss your aunt?"

"Think about it." Zuo Yan pressed her face against Bian Chang's and said, "Auntie, you are finally back. I thought you wouldn't come to Shenyang to see us."

"Don't worry, no matter where you and Xiaoxu go, Auntie will come to see you." Bian Chang said, kissed Zuo Yan hard on the cheek, and said, "Auntie misses you so much."

Seeing the two of them chatting intimately, Liu Xiaochen and Zuo Kunmin looked at each other and smiled.

"Teacher Zuo, let me put your bowl away first." Liu Xiaochen said, going to get Zuo Kunmin's bowl.

Zuo Kunmin picked up Bian Chang's bowl and stewed vegetables and said, "Let me get them for you."

"Bian Chang hasn't finished eating yet." Liu Xiaochen said urgently.

"She has a small appetite, and she has eaten a lot today." Zuo Kunmin said, turned to Bian Chang, and shouted: "Changchang, please put the bowl away for you!"

"Okay." Bian Chang responded, then pulled Zuo Yan over and said, "I'll share a room with Yanyan."

"No, Yanyan lives with Xiaoxiao." Zuo Kunmin said firmly, and then explained: "Yanyan is coughing and needs someone to take care of her at night, but you can't."

"Teacher Zuo." Liu Xiaochen interrupted: "Yanyan is basically well now and can lie down. She coughs once or twice at night, three to five times each time. If..." Liu Xiaochen didn't know what to call her and was speechless for a moment.

"Just call me Changchang." Bian Chang said with a smile.

Liu Xiaochen turned to Bian Chang with a smile and said, "If you want to live with Yanyan, you can. I'll wash the dishes and change the bedding for you later."

"No need to change, I don't mind these." After saying that, Bian Chang looked at Zuo Kunmin and asked, "Is that okay? Zuo Kunmin."

Liu Xiaochen was startled when he heard Bian Chang calling Zuo Kunmin by his first name, but looking at Zuo Kunmin's natural look, he knew that this was their way of getting along.

"Okay." After Zuo Kunmincheng agreed, he looked at Liu Xiaochen and said, "Xiaoxiao, pack your things and go to my room. I'll sleep with Xiaoxu."

Liu Xiaochen shook his head anxiously and said: "No, no, I'll sleep with Xiaoxu. Xiaoxu is not a good sleeper. If you live with him, you won't be able to rest well."

"Yanyan has been sick for a month. You haven't slept well at night. Take a good two days to rest. I won't be working these days, so it's okay." After Zuo Kunmin finished speaking, he picked up the bowls and plates and went to the kitchen. , Liu Xiaochen hurriedly followed.

As soon as he arrived in the kitchen, Liu Xiaochen put down the dishes in his hands, took them from Zuo Kunmin's hand, and said, "Teacher Zuo, let me do it. You go out quickly. Changchang just came back. Ask her if she needs anything. No." If you get used to it, tell me later."

Zuo Kunmin smiled and whispered: "You are younger than Changchang, but you do look like a sister-in-law."

Liu Xiaochen hurriedly made a "shh" gesture, rolled his eyes at Zuo Kunmin, and whispered: "Stop talking nonsense, go out and ask Changchang."

Seeing Liu Xiaochen's anxious look, Zuo Kunmin couldn't help but laugh again and said: "Changchang is very adaptable and can do anything. For example, when we ate noodles just now, you didn't bring her candy, but she also ate like this "Many. When I was young, Changchang and I went to poor mountainous areas with my father to do charity work. We lived in a leaky little shabby house for three to five days, and she didn't complain at all. So she really doesn't care about things in life."

Liu Xiaochen stared blankly at Zuo Kunmin, once again becoming deeply and intensely curious about the man in front of him and the people in this family. I really wanted to say something, but I didn’t know what to say. In the end, I just lowered my head and said: "Teacher Zuo, please go out quickly. I have to wash the dishes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Bian Chang shouting from outside: "Zuo Kunmin, come here."

What follows is a burst of trivial busyness.

Liu Xiaochen washed the dishes, hurriedly changed the bedding in Zuo Yan's room, and placed new toiletries, a freshly washed bath towel, a pair of women's non-slip slippers for bathing in the master bedroom bathroom.

Liu Xiaochen placed his belongings in the public bathroom outside and took a few changes of clothes to Zuo Kunmin's room. Zuo Xu also woke up. Liu Xiaochen poured water for the two children, cut fruits, and asked Zuo Yan to take medicine.

During this period, Zuo Kunmin was sitting in the living room, watching the homework of the two children during this period. Drawings, reading notes, copy and analysis drafts of Miyazaki Hayao cartoons, self-made short films, copies of the Book of Songs, etc.

Bian Chang hugged and got close to the two children, chatting and chatting. She tied Zuo Yan's hair and made a small braid with colorful ropes, which was gorgeous and beautiful. Show Zuo Xu a New Year gift, several sets of famous painting puzzles, and some customized paintbrushes.

This small room was filled with sunshine, laughter, and liveliness.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Liu Xiaochen was washing cups in the kitchen and hurried to open the door. Unexpectedly, Zuo Kunmin opened the door before her.

It was Aunt Liu. She was wearing a brown woolen hat, a red velvet scarf, and a thick maroon down jacket. Her hands, which were red from the cold, were holding a stack of yellow paper. She held it up with some embarrassment and said, "That , Mr. Zuo, you have to post couplets during the Chinese New Year. Your family can’t post red ones, so I bought yellow paper for you.”

Zuo Kunmin's face suddenly sank. He looked at the pile of yellow paper but did not pick it up.

When Liu Xiaochen saw it, he hurried over and stretched out his hand to take it. As soon as his hand touched the paper, a small piece of it was soaked. Only then did Liu Xiaochen remember that there was still water in his hand and hurriedly rubbed his hand on the hem of his clothes. When he was about to pick up the paper again, he saw Zuo Kunmin Already in hand.

"Thank you, Aunt Liu, for your hard work." Zuo Kunmin said sincerely.

"You're welcome, Mr. Zuo." Aunt Liu smiled happily as usual and said, "If Xiaoxiao hadn't told me, I would have almost turned the sticker red. Happy New Year, Mr. Zuo."

Zuo Kunmin said: "Aunt Liu, our family can't go out tomorrow, so I wish you a happy New Year in advance today." After saying that, he turned around and called Zuo Yan, Zuo Xu, and Bian Chang. Together with Liu Xiaochen, they came to Liu Xiaochen. The aunts bowed and shouted together: "Happy New Year, Aunt Liu!"

Aunt Liu looked surprised when she saw Bian Chang and asked, "Are you Mr. Zuo's sister?"

"Well, hello, Aunt Liu!" Bian Chang nodded politely and said, "Just call me Changchang..."

Aunt Liu was still staring at Bian Chang, nodding her head, and said, "It's so similar. Although you are dressed completely different from your mother, you look exactly the same. They are both as good-looking as gods."

Bian Chang was smiling, but suddenly his face darkened and he said, "I'm a little tired, I'm going to bed." After that, he turned around and walked to the bedroom.

"Did I say something wrong?" Aunt Liu smiled awkwardly.

Zuo Kunmin answered: "No Aunt Liu, Changchang just came back from a long-distance flight, and she is really tired. Happy New Year, Aunt Liu."

After a few words of greeting, Aunt Liu left.
