Mr. Minguo's kitchen

"When will Xuanxuan come back? Do you think that child Wei Rui will want to walk with us?" Aunt Lin walked back and forth under the eaves, looking out of the door from time to time.

Uncle Lin is an honest and dull person. He can smoke dry cigarettes, and he can only say dryly: "Yes, the young master is a scholar and a respected gentleman. Naturally, he has a different mind than ordinary people. Come and sit down, the young master is here." It's not far from home, Xuanxuan hasn't come back yet, probably she was left by the young master to entertain her."

"It would be great if this is the case. It has been more than ten years. I...you have few people here. In the past, during the festivals, our place is deserted. If there are relatives who walk around, they will take care of each other. The child is also It's not easy, I was kicked out by the black-hearted Lin Er, so I'm going to live in the country. My elder brother was very kind to me before he was alive, but now he has two children left, and I have to help take care of them." Aunt Lin said As he spoke, he choked up when thinking of the past.Although she had no choice but to elope with someone when she was a daughter, she had a bad reputation and had a clear heart, but she still felt sore every time she thought about breaking off contact with her natal family.

"Yes, we don't plan anything, the young master is naturally sensible."

The husband and wife here are worried, but the atmosphere in the small villa in Jiangzhuang is fine.

The girl in front of her, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, is wearing a wishful bun, her black bangs are draped over her light eyebrows, and underneath is a pair of eyes similar to that of cousin Lin, but the curvature is weakened, without the breathtaking vigor, Add a little deserted.Lin Weirui and the elder of the Lin family are similar in stature, they are both tall and thin, but they are actually not alike in appearance. It is not that there were no gossips in the early years, but since Lin Fuxuan was born, there has been a cousin with similar eyes. Stubble, no one will talk anymore.The girl was wearing a blue dress and a black skirt for a middle school girl student, with a pair of round-toed black lacquered leather shoes underneath. She had a snow-white face, her plain face facing the sky, not hiding her color.

"sit down."

Fat Aunt followed the young master's instructions and served food to entertain the guests, "Oh, Miss Cousin is lucky to come here. The flower food and milk poria cocos cream that the young master made by himself in his free time are delicious!"

Lin Fuxuan opened her eyes slightly, a little surprised, she didn't expect that the cousin who looked like a fairy in front of her, with a cold and unattainable expression, could cook?This relieved the little girl who had been feeling uneasy after entering the room, as if a high-ranking person stepped down from the altar and narrowed the distance between each other a little.After the entrance of the snacks, which are more exquisite and beautiful than the pastries displayed in the window of the modern building, the distance narrowed again.

The light green elm cake sandwiched in the white glutinous rice is full of elasticity. The dough was kneaded without knowing how to knead it. Later, I found that it was not only the fragrance of elm money, but also the fragrance of tea and other things. After eating a piece of small pastry, there was still a surprising coolness on the tip of the tongue, as if all the moisture in the mountains had been removed. up.This is because when Lin Weirui kneaded the noodles, he mixed mint leaves, camellia and Longjing tea leaves into the glutinous rice flour, which can be regarded as a fusion of tea cakes and elm money.

Wisteria dill cakes are finer than yuqian cakes, white on the outside and purple on the inside, crystal clear, and you can taste the nectar flowing inside after one bite, like eating soup dumplings, but it doesn't have the greasy taste of sweets, but it is unbearable. Take a bite for two and then eat.

The little girl is thin-skinned, even though she has never eaten such a delicious snack, she is not unscrupulous, at most she just ate an extra wisteria pancake because she likes sweets, and sat aside to answer the questions.

"Auntie, how have you been all these years?" In the memory of this body, my aunt was still somewhat close to his elder nephew before she got married. She couldn't even see her cowardly nephew being teased by the second room's Lin Er many times. Concealedly persuaded Lin's father not to let him get too close to the people in the second room.So this time, Young Master Lin still showed some patience to chat with the little girl in front of him.Second master Lin didn't get this treatment.

"My mother has been in good health all these years, but I just miss my relatives here, and the holidays will inevitably affect my mood for a few days. When my mother heard that my cousin separated from his second uncle and moved to this country again, she was very worried. Let me visit my cousin."

"It's only a matter of time before the family splits up. Thank you, aunt. Everything is fine here."

"That's good. Now that my cousin has moved to Jiangzhuang, he lives closer to my family. My mother said that my elder brother helped my family a lot in the past. Now that my uncle is gone, my mother always remembers it. She thinks that the two families may do more in the future Do you want to walk around a bit, so that we can renew our previous friendship?"

"It's natural." Lin Fuxuan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, her mother finally got her wish.This big cousin doesn't look easy to get close to, but his heart is soft.

While the two were talking, a child with muddy hands and a dusty face came in outside the door.Seeing that the elder brother was there, he immediately stood at the door with his little hands behind his back, not daring to come in.

Lin Weirui glanced at him and said, "Go and wash quickly, come over to have some snacks and meet your cousin."

The brat who just came back from the field immediately ran upstairs with his head down.

Lin Fuxuan looked at the figure of the child running up, and asked, "Is that the little cousin?"

Lin Weirui nodded, and Lin Fuxuan asked again, "What's your name?"

Lin Weirui paused suspiciously for a moment, she really hadn't noticed what the cheap brother's name was, and was about to answer if she didn't know, the child who washed his hands and face came downstairs, walked up to the two of them and softly called Big Brother and cousin.

Embarrassed, Young Master Lin took the opportunity to let the child eat, then changed the subject, looked at her clothes, and said casually, "You study in a secondary school in the town?"

"Yes, but it is absolutely incomparable with my cousin. My cousin is very knowledgeable. I heard that he used to be a student of the Imperial University."

"It's just a dead book." That's right, the only thing the young Lin family could do in the past was his dead book brain. He didn't understand all the worldly things. It seemed that only one soul was left behind.Otherwise, how can I get a place to study abroad at public expense?Even if the Qing court was overthrown later, Lin Weirui at that time was no longer what it used to be, and at least he completed two degrees and returned to China smoothly.

Miss Lin Jiabiao took the snacks and left in a clear mood.

This Lin family brother is facing an embarrassing situation.

"Has someone named you?"

The child looked up at his elder brother timidly, then shook his head.No, never. His father just left when he was born, and his mother disliked him and ran away with others. Others only called him a little bastard, so naturally he never thought of giving him a name.

After Lin Weirui listened, she went upstairs. The child looked at his back, wanted to catch up but was afraid of making him angry, and didn't know what the elder brother meant.When Lin Weirui came down, she took a dictionary and a pen and paper in her hands, and handed them to him, "Then what name do you want, look in the dictionary yourself."

The child caught it, looked at the brick-thick dictionary in front of him, opened it, and sure enough, it looked like a book from heaven.

Seeing that he hadn't turned a page for a long time, Lin Weirui glanced at him and asked him, "Have you found it? However, the words on this page are not easy to name."

The child hesitated for a long time, took a pen, and wrote three... symbols crookedly on the paper.Yes, in Lin Weirui's view, these are three symbols, two wooden and two cursive initials.

Big brother Lin couldn't say a word, "You want to call it this?"

"Big... big brother... I can't read..."

Young Master Lin who made repeated mistakes today: ...

"Brother, can you name me... can you?"

Brother Lin picked up the paper with the symbols on it, stared at it for ten seconds, finally picked up the pen, and wrote - Lin Zhenpeng next to it.

Its Ye Zhenzhen, Peng Peng its Mai.

Many years later, when Lin Zhenpeng read these two lines in the Book of Songs, she finally understood the expectations of her elder brother, and even more understood the man's cold face and warm heart. , but an illegitimate child who is tired of his reputation.Now that he is still young, he is just happy that he has the same surname and the same radical as his elder brother.Although these two characters, especially the character Zhen, have too many strokes for a child.

Seeing the child on the paper next to me write the twisted and completely unrecognizable three characters, it was rare to be silent, "From tomorrow, write this one hundred times a day for me to read, until the words you write can be read. "

Child, no, it should be Lin Zhenpeng now, blushing and nodding.

After choosing the name, Lin Weirui said, "I'll send you to school tomorrow." I can't even read with a dictionary, so I guess this level of education can only go to kindergarten. Send it to school to embarrass the teacher.When I was a child, I went through the dictionary to learn how to read, and Lin Weirui thought to myself when I gave myself a name that was very educated at a glance.

Lin Zhenpeng then boldly asked: "Are you wearing a school uniform to study in school like Cousin Fuxuan just now?"

Brother Lin nodded, and Brother Lin's eyes lit up instantly, and the dimples on both sides of his mouth reappeared.

The author has something to say: Lin Weirui: What name should I choose, this one, with many strokes, no one else recognizes it.

Everyone: Ah, this person's name is so complicated, how to pronounce it, it looks very cultured!

Come on, everyone, follow me, Lin Weiwei (one tone) 蕤rui (two tone)

Lin Zhenzhen (one sound) Peng Peng (two sounds)
