Rebirth: I Didn't Expect to Be a Scholar

On the first day after he left, Liu Yanming was still the same as usual.

On the third day after he left, Liu Yanming felt a little blocked in his heart.

On the fifth day after he left, Liu Yanming missed him a little. Before going to bed, he was thinking about what he did when he returned to country m.

Half a month after he left, Liu Yanming missed him more and more, often staring at the sachet in a daze.

In ancient times, giving a sachet to express admiration, hoping that the other party can see things and think about others.

Liu Yanming sighed while holding the sachet, and smiled helplessly, "That's why he gave me the sachet."

Putting the sachet away, he got up and went to the kitchen, planning to cook some food and calm down.

Open the refrigerator, there are only a few green onions and two tomatoes in the refrigerator.

He murmured to himself, "I don't even have any eggs," and closed the refrigerator door, feeling a little depressed all the time.

Erdan curled up and slept on the sofa, and the bored Liu Yanming decided to go to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients.

Liu Yanming wore three layers of clothing, a brown cotton coat and a gray scarf, with his neck tucked into the scarf. From a distance, he looked like a chubby little bear.

The number of people buying vegetables has not decreased due to the cold. Bargaining prices, shouting and selling, and the hot air from their mouths form white mist in the air. The vegetable market looks lively and full of vitality.

Liu Yanming looked at the vegetables one by one from the first booth, and every time he saw a vegetable, the related dishes immediately appeared in his mind.

Seeing Zheergen, he immediately thought of hot pot, Zheergen was a perfect match for hot pot.

Liu Yanming suddenly wanted to eat hot pot, but unfortunately Liu Guoqiang and Xu Xueqin went back to their hometown yesterday, and they won't be back until tomorrow. His mood changed from gloomy to gloomy.

"Someone fell!"

"It's an old man!"

"Let's go and have a look."

The noisy voice reached Liu Yanming's ears, he turned his head and saw a group of people surrounded him.

The old man fell down?

Liu Yanming heard the words of passers-by and walked towards the crowd of onlookers.

An old man was lying on the open space in the middle of the crowd, and there was a pool of ice formed by accumulated water under the old man.

He seemed to be stunned, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Just as Liu Yanming squeezed into the crowd, an aunt stopped the young man who was going to help the old man, "Young man, be careful that he depends on you."

Hearing this, the young man hesitated for a while, then immediately withdrew his arms and squeezed out of the crowd.

After hearing what the aunt said, many passers-by who wanted to help the elderly flinched and stayed in the crowd and watched each other.

Liu Yanming, who just squeezed in and heard these words, turned cold.

He walked over, squatted down, and looked down carefully. It turned out to be Xiao Chengmin's grandfather!

Startled, he called out in a low voice, "Grandpa, how are you doing?"

Liu Mengyu was a little dazed with half-opened eyes, and shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.

Seeing Liu Yanming's actions, the aunt immediately yelled loudly, "Don't help him, he will rely on you!"

A surge of anger rose in Liu Yanming's heart, he turned around, and said coldly to his aunt: "If you don't help him, don't yell. How old are you? If you don't spread righteousness, try to spread some evil spirits. According to your words, If you help an old man, you will be blamed. When you are old and fall to the ground, I will see if there is anyone to help you, so build up your morals as soon as possible, and be careful when you encounter such a situation in the future!"

The audience was silent, and the aunt was stunned. After realizing it, she immediately yelled: "You bastard, this is how your mother taught you to talk to your elders!"

Liu Yanming took off the scarf first, stuffed it under Liu Mengyu's neck as a cushion, turned his face, and immediately sneered at the aunt: "Elder? Is someone like you worthy of being my elder? My mother taught me to help others when I was young." , Respect the old and love the young. From your quality and character, I guess your children are not much better."

The aunt's eyes were bloodshot, and she wanted to pounce on her, but was held back by the people around her.

"You'd better go back quickly! The young man is right!"

"If you can't say it, others want to do it."

"You are so old, and you still care about children, don't be ashamed."

"He is much more qualified than you!"

The aunt was held back by the people around her, she couldn't get close to Liu Yanming, and was criticized by everyone, she gradually became discouraged, her face flushed, and she squeezed out of the crowd.

When Liu Mengyu fell, he felt that his bones were about to fall apart, and it took him a long time to recover.

He supported Liu Yanming's arm and slowly sat up, heaved a sigh of relief, and after looking carefully, he recognized the person in front of him, isn't he the kid Cheng Min brought home?

Liu Mengyu coughed twice, "Thanks to you today, otherwise I, an old man, would have to lie on the ground for a while."

Seeing the old man sitting up without any intention of blackmailing, the crowd of onlookers dispersed one after another.

"Grandpa, where are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll take you to the hospital." Liu Yanming was a little anxious. The person in front of him was Cheng Min's grandfather after all, so don't make any mistakes.

Liu Mengyu waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm fine, I'm just getting old, and I won't recover for a while."

Liu Yanming helped him up from the ground, bent down, and patted the mud off his trousers.

Liu Mengyu watched him carefully pat off the dirt for himself, and his affection for him rose again, "Little friend, are you also here to buy vegetables?"

Liu Yanming straightened up and nodded, "Grandpa, what do you want to buy? I'll help you carry it."

Liu Mengyu rolled his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face, "You and Chengmin are good friends, let's call me grandpa together with him."

Liu Yanming nodded immediately, and answered "Yes" with a smile.

One old and one young went to the vegetable stand to buy vegetables. Liu Mengyu looked at Zhe Ergen and couldn't help sighing, "It's really a perfect match with hot pot. I really want to eat hot pot."

Liu Yanming smiled and said: "I also want to eat hot pot today, but unfortunately my family has all returned to my hometown and I will not be back until tomorrow."

Liu Mengyu's eyes lit up, and he grabbed his arm, "Chengmin has returned to Country M, his uncle lives outside, and I'm the only one at home. Grandpa treats you to Zuixiangpin's hot pot!"

Liu Yanming looked at him in astonishment, and said hesitantly: "You just fell down, and you are also getting old, eating greasy food now will damage your body!"

Liu Mengyu's expression darkened, and he sighed, "Chengmin and his grandmother are both in country M, and his uncle doesn't come back. I eat out every time, and I'm tired of eating. I'm alone when I buy some food and cook it myself. Alone, no one will accompany you if you want to eat hot pot”

Liu Yanming pursed his lips, looking a little hesitant. Liu Mengyu saw that there was something going on, and immediately called the railway while it was hot: "Chengmin returned to Country M, and he didn't even call me. I don't even have anyone to talk to now, so I went out and walked around by myself." , buy some food, no one will help me when I fall down, I just want to eat a hot pot, and I can’t even satisfy this little wish.”

Liu Yanming's heart softened, and he couldn't help saying "Then let me eat hot pot with you".

A smile appeared on Liu Mengyu's face immediately, wrinkles squeezed his face, and he secretly laughed in his heart, Jiang is still old and hot!

Liu Yanming looked at the old man with a smile on his face, and immediately added, "I know how to make hot pot, let's buy something to eat at home."

Liu Mengyu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately nodded and said "OK".

As long as you can take the children back first and learn more about it, the taste of hot pot is still okay.

After the agreement, the young and old went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, buying a little of each vegetable.

When he was about to return, Liu Yanming was carrying two big bags, and Liu Mengyu was carrying the ingredients.

Along the way, the old and the young chatted, Liu Yanming didn't realize that he was being tricked at all.

The more he talked with Liu Yanming, the more Liu Mengyu understood him, and the more he liked this child.

Liu Mengyu jokingly said, "If Chengmin bullies you, just tell me and I'll take care of him."

After hearing this, Liu Yanming smiled and said, "Chengmin is very considerate and never bullies others." He added in his heart that he just likes to take advantage of me.

considerate?

Liu Mengyu was a little surprised in his heart, but kept his face calm and said with a smile: "How is he so considerate?"

Thinking of the memories with him, the corners of Liu Yanming's mouth turned up, and his mood improved, "When it's cold, he will remind Jiayi, after playing, he will pass water, always have tissues in his pocket, and when it rains, he will come to deliver an umbrella"

Liu Yanming talked a lot about him, and he felt really happy.

But the old man who was fed a mouthful of dog food was heartbroken.

At home, he is boring gourds and mobile freezers, but in front of the people he likes, he is talkative and caring. Do you want to treat them differently!

Liu Yanming turned his head and saw the old man with a paralyzed face, and immediately changed the subject, "The weather is getting colder and colder, grandpa can eat mutton to nourish his body and prevent the wind and cold. Don't eat too much mutton at a time. Eating too much will cause damage to the stomach. Burden, you can eat less every few days."

After the topic about grandson ended, Liu Mengyu breathed a sigh of relief, and responded: "I don't like to eat mutton, the taste of mutton is too strong."

Liu Yanming bent his eyes, "Although the taste of mutton is relatively strong, the taste of mutton is very good when paired with hot pot."

Liu Mengyu nodded in agreement, "That's right, especially the mutton rolls in the hot pot for a few seconds, the taste is really great!"

The young and old discussed food again.

Food has great power. It can not only bring common topics, but also shorten the distance between each other, and make people feel happy.

Chatting about food all the way, the old man talked about the superb dishes he had eaten, and gestured with both hands excitedly. Liu Yanming always listened with a smile on his face, and answered a word from time to time, which made the old man even happier. The smile on the corners of his mouth never closed.

When they got home, Liu Mengyu took out the key and opened the door, and Liu Yanming walked in.

I haven't been here for a long time, and the rose flowers in the vestibule are still in full bloom, burning with life like fire.It's clearly winter, but the rose flowers show no sign of withering.

He looked at the fiery red with love in his eyes.

Seeing his joyful expression, Liu Mengyu couldn't help laughing and said, "You also like rose flowers?"

Liu Yanming nodded, and walked on the path with the old man.

Liu Mengyu smiled and said, "Why do you like rose flowers?"

Liu Yanming's eyes completed the crescent moon, "It's because of a line of poetry 'There is only one flower blooming for ten days, and this flower is always spring breeze'."

When Liu Mengyu heard it, he laughed out loud, "What a coincidence, I also because of a poem, 'Only this flower will never tire of blooming, and it will occupy the four seasons of spring in a year'."

The old and the young looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing, and there was a kind of sympathy for each other.

After entering the room, Liu Mengyu sat on the sofa, slowly sipping tea, and Liu Yanming went to the kitchen to make hot pot ingredients.

He is worried that if the old man eats hot pot outside, too greasy will be bad for his health, but the hot pot base made by him is absolutely safe.

The pot was slowly simmering on the fire, and Liu Yanming took the time to cut up all the vegetables and meat products and put them on the plate.

After boiling for more than 40 minutes, the pot cover did not block the spicy flavor of the bottom material.

The scent floated into the living room through the gap in the kitchen door, got into Liu Mengyu's nose, stimulated his mouth, and secreted saliva.

It smells so good!This taste is strong enough!

Liu Mengyu followed the smell and got into the kitchen, "You have a good mix of base ingredients, who learned it from whom?"

Liu Yanming put the sliced ​​potatoes on the plate and said with a smile, "I figured it out myself. I can eat hot pot after waiting for 10 minutes."

"I'll take it out for you." Liu Mengyu happily walked out with two dishes.

After the hot pot base was ready, Liu Yanming moved the small stove and gas tank to the living room, arranged the dishes on the table, and put the pot on the stove.

After the bottom material boiled again, Liu Mengyu couldn't wait to pick up the folded ears, planning to put them in.

"Grandpa, wait a minute." Liu Yanming stopped him.

Liu Mengyu stopped, feeling a little puzzled.

Liu Yanming said with a smile: "I made this base material. It is neither greasy nor spicy. It smells good, but it tastes average. You must add the meat first. After eating the meat, the base material tastes better."

Liu Mengyu laughed loudly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, let's eat meat first."

All the meat was put into the pot. After boiling, Liu Mengyu picked up a piece of meat and fed it into his mouth. His eyes lit up, "It's so fragrant and spicy!"

Liu Yanming rolled his eyes and took a bite of the meat.

Liu Mengyu praised it while eating, his mouth was red hot.

The two ate while chatting. After eating for two hours, the room was filled with the smell of hot pot.

After cleaning up all the dishes, Liu Mengyu leaned back on the sofa with his stomach full, and said with emotion: "This may be the best hot pot I've eaten in the past few years. It's so comfortable, and the dishes we bought are just right. , I was still worried about wasting, thinking that I would finish eating with my belly full, but I didn't expect that both of us finished eating."

Liu Yanming smiled with his eyes bent, and secretly supported his lower back with his hands, so supportive!

When eating hot pot just now, he was worried that the old man would lose control of his tongue and hurt his stomach if he ate too much, and he didn't want to make a sound to stop him, so he could only eat more quietly so that the old man would eat less. Luckily it worked out.
