Quick Travel: The host must die in every plane
Chapter 4 The redemption of the paranoid boy (4)
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Su Ye began to miss the days when the air conditioner was blowing, eating iced watermelon, and drinking iced Coke. Fortunately, in this era, there is no urban heat island effect, and it is not so hot that we cannot survive without air conditioning.
Li Jianguo brought back an electric fan. In the era without air conditioning, the electric fan was the best tool to relieve the heat.
The electric fan was placed in Su Ye and Zhou Nan's room, but this electric fan had a disadvantage. It could not blow in two directions. One of Su Ye and Zhou Nan would definitely be unable to blow.
Zhang Guifen and Li Jianguo naturally pointed the electric fan in the direction of Su Ye. Li Jianguo didn't like this step-son who didn't talk much and couldn't get close to him. Zhang Guifen always wanted to please Li Jianguo and treated her own son more and more harshly. .
Zhou Nan was also very hot at night, and sometimes he would be too hot to toss and fall asleep, but he never said anything.
Su Ye had a mat and an electric fan, but Zhou Nan had nothing.
Seeing Zhou Nan take off his shoes and go to bed without saying a word, Su Ye began to feel aggrieved for him. Most nine-year-old children are still acting coquettishly in their parents' arms, but he silently endures all unfair treatment.
"Zhou Nan, come here and sleep with me." Su Ye couldn't help but speak.
"No."
"You're so hot and sweaty, don't be such a tough talker, come here quickly."
In the end, it was Su Ye who personally dragged Zhou Nan to his bed.
This little bastard is very stubborn. I don't know if I have to wait until he climbs up on his own.
"You can sleep outside."
Just like this, the two of them were lying on the mat, Zhou Nan slept outside, and Su Ye slept inside.
Zhou Nan habitually curls up into a small ball when sleeping, like a cooked shrimp.
Su Ye once read in a book that this was an extremely insecure sleeping position. He curled himself up into a small ball, as if he was still in his mother's belly. That was the safest place and the best place to sleep. The warmest place.
Su Ye couldn't help but began to feel sorry for this nine-year-old child. For such an older child, he was so insecure. No wonder he couldn't integrate into this family. It was a completely unfamiliar environment, and his only relative could not rely on him. Even though I am a child, many adults also feel insecure in such an environment.
Maybe he has no friends at school and keeps to himself. Over time, he will be considered by other children as a weirdo, an unsociable guy, and someone who can be bullied.
That's why I feel so insecure.
Su Ye decided to do something to make Zhou Nan feel that he was cared about in this family.
The end of August is Zhou Nan's tenth birthday. Su Ye found this out from the system. He heard that Zhou Nan had never celebrated his birthday before. His father did not love his mother. The only birthday he celebrated was when he first entered elementary school. Zhang Guifen bought him a schoolbag for his birthday. It was a gift, so Zhou Nan valued that little schoolbag so much.
Su Ye decided to celebrate Zhou Nan's birthday personally.
For children in this era, it is good to have a meal of meat on their birthdays, not to mention birthday cakes. So Su Ye planned to make a birthday cake for Zhou Nan by herself.
Cake is nothing more than bread base and cream. Eggs are easy to find, but there is no cream. The cream cakes in town all use cheap cream that is greasy and harsh. Su Ye doesn't want to use this kind of cream.
There is no other way but to give up the cream and make a traditional chicken cake.
Su Ye's cooking skills are not very good, and the method of making cakes has only been done by some food bloggers when watching videos, but she has never done it herself.
So in order to get a perfect finished product in the end, Su Ye could only keep trying first.
But there weren't many eggs at home, and she wasn't allowed to use them as test subjects.
Su Ye racked his brains and came up with a way to work as an apprentice for a pastry chef in the town while having a lot of free time during the summer vacation. He would learn while watching, so he wouldn't have to worry about wasting ingredients.
The pastry chef in Zhendongtou is an eccentric old man with a bad temper and never accepts apprentices. He is always the only one busy in his shop. Obviously the pasta he makes is delicious and the business in the shop is also very good, but because of his weird personality, the neighbors don't like to deal with him, and even the children in the town will avoid him when they see him.
When Su Ye said she wanted to be an apprentice, the old man refused without even looking at her.
"Let's go, let's go, I don't want apprentices here, just leave if you don't buy anything!"
Su Ye begged: "Uncle Liu, just let me learn from you. I can even help you. Just let me follow and see what you do. I will never trouble you."
Uncle Liu glanced at her and snorted: "If you, a little girl, don't study hard at home, why should you come to this shabby place like mine to learn a craft? My line of work is very tiring. You, a little girl, can't do it. Go back quickly." ."
No matter how hard Su Ye tried, the old man just refused to let go.
Su Ye was not discouraged, so he stayed in the store and took the initiative to help Uncle Liu sell pastries, clean the store, and entertain guests, and he did a good job.
After sending away the last guest, Su Ye finally sat down and took a breath.
Uncle Liu looked at Su Ye who was sweating profusely from exhaustion and sighed, then poured a bowl of water and handed it to her impatiently.
"This is the only thing. Drink it if you like."
Uncle Liu seemed to think that Su Ye was a spoiled little girl and would definitely dislike this broken bowl of cold water. Uncle Liu's tone was unkind.
Unexpectedly, Su Ye naturally took the bowl of water with both hands, and then drank it in large gulps. In a short time, the bowl of water reached the bottom.
Su Ye thanked him and planned to go home first. It was getting dark and he would come back tomorrow.
Before leaving, Uncle Liu suddenly asked her: "Girl, why do you have to be an apprentice?"
Su Ye was stunned for a moment, then said: "I want to learn how to cook it for my dad."
Uncle Liu thought for a moment and finally said: "Okay, you can come tomorrow."
Su Ye was suddenly hit by this huge surprise and quickly bowed to thank him.
Su Ye told a little lie. Uncle Liu was all alone. He seemed strange and unapproachable, but in fact he was just a lonely old man who longed for the care of his children. That's why Su Ye deliberately said that he wanted to be an apprentice because of his father. Only after comparing his feelings to his own, did Uncle Liu agree to accept her.
Emotions are always the greatest weakness of human beings.
