Back to 90s

Jiang Yuexiu's annual leave officially ends on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

In the past few days, Zhu Yunxuan has been working hard to do housework, trying to let Jiang Yuexiu rest better. Zhu Chengcai bought the vegetables and meat for the treats, and he packed them all up. Slowly cut them up and put them together for Jiang Yuexiu to cook. It is used when cooking.

These things are actually not a big deal, but Jiang Yuexiu talked about it all day long, and relatives came to talk about it when they came to the door, so that Zhu Yunxuan's reputation as "well-behaved" spread far and wide.

For all this, Zhu Yunxuan felt sad and uncomfortable.

In the past, Jiang Yuexiu had never asked him to do housework, and he had never been conscious of doing housework. If Jiang Yuexiu helped him clean up the room, he would think that the other party messed up the room so that he could not find himself. something to look for.

When he first quarreled with his parents because of his sexual orientation, he still felt that his parents could not understand his rigid thinking, but after living alone for a long time, he knew that only his parents in this world could treat him well unconditionally.

He was too unwise at that time, he made things big no matter what, but he never thought that in such a family whose daughter was dumped by a partner, everyone would gossip A small place where people inquire openly and secretly, how difficult his affairs will make parents...

Waking up early in the morning, Zhu Yunxuan washed a bowl of rice and put it into the rice cooker, then added enough water, and pressed the cooking button to start cooking porridge.

Not long after I bought this rice cooker, it was also for the convenience of cooking. After all, it was too troublesome to use the original clay stove at home, but now with such a rice cooker, cooking is much faster.Zhu Yunxuan, who tends to burn his rice when burning a fire, can also cook with an electric rice cooker.

When cooking porridge in an electric rice cooker, you must be careful. Turn off the power as soon as the water in it boils, otherwise the boiling water will overflow from the pot.According to the older generation, the porridge is all stewed, so it takes half an hour to open the lid after turning off the power, and then you can see a pot of fragrant white rice porridge.

At this time, people in the countryside would not talk nonsense when they were pregnant, and of course they would not pay too much attention to pregnancy, but Zhu Yunxuan was different. Even with his superficial knowledge, he knew that pregnant women needed nutritional supplements, let alone Now Jiang Yuexiu has a bad appetite and lost weight after pregnancy.

Beat three eggs exchanged from Lu Lei's, and put some chopped green onion into it, Zhu Yunxuan stood on a bench, turned on the gas stove, and then took the oil bowl and scooped it up with a spoon. Three tablespoons of salad oil go in.After a while, you can put in the eggs and stir fry.

Zhu Yunxuan did not fry poached eggs. After all, it is not easy to fry a good poached egg, but scrambled eggs are much simpler - he only needs to keep the fire on low, and then pay attention not to let the eggs stick to the pan. After a while, the eggs will be cooked.

This is not the first time he has been cooking. The first time he moved a stool to cook egg drop soup for Jiang Yuexiu, Jiang Yuexiu and Zhu Chengcai were very angry and scolded him solidly, thinking that he He shouldn't get angry when he was too young, and he got his parents' permission later on the grounds that Zhu Qiuyue had helped cook for a long time.

Now it's Chinese New Year, his birthday is in the first half of the year, and he will be seven years old in a short time, and now Xu Sui is eight years old. He occasionally listens to Jiang Yuexiu and Zhu Chengcai telling stories. When they were eight years old, they did all kinds of work. He has always been doted on by his parents. He used to only know how to eat, drink and have fun... Then, he didn't know anything. When he was living alone, he thought that egg fried rice was fried eggs with rice.

After the porridge was ready, Zhu Chengcai, who had gone to the town to buy vegetables, came back, and Jiang Yuexiu had already woken up. When the two saw the hot porridge and scrambled eggs, they naturally praised their son for a while.

Zhu Yunxuan opened the things that Zhu Chengcai had brought back, and found ten fried buns and five steamed buns. The steamed buns were for Jiang Yuexiu who didn't like greasy food, but the fried buns were made by Zhu Chengcai and Zhu Yunxuan. Two people share the food.

The porridge was not dry, and it was good to eat with steamed buns. Zhu Yunxuan asked Jiang Yuexiu to eat more eggs, but he and Zhu Chengcai preferred to eat pickles with porridge.In fact, Jiang Yuexiu also likes to eat pickles, but Zhu Yunxuan told her to eat less, so she didn't eat much.However, sometimes it is unavoidable that while being happy that his son misses him, he complains that his son is making a big fuss—didn’t that person eat pickles every day and finally give birth to a child?

"Mom, can I go to the factory with you today?" Zhu Yunxuan asked when he saw that Jiang Yuexiu still looked tired.

He can take care of her when she goes to the factory with her mother, right?In fact, he planned to tell Jiang Yuexiu not to go to work at first, but now all the women in the country work until the due date and then go home. How could Jiang Yuexiu give up such a job because she was pregnant?

"Why do you go to the factory? It will be boring then." Jiang Yuexiu said with a smile. The factories here are all textile factories and clothing factories, and all the workers are recruited. In the past, those factories were not strictly controlled. , there are many women who bring their children to the factory while working and taking care of their children, but Li Yuekai's garment factory has strict management, which is not suitable for Zhu Yunxuan.

"I'm not bored, mom, let me go." Zhu Yunxuan spoke again, he couldn't help but treat Jiang Yuexiu as a porcelain doll that couldn't be touched.

"The factory is very strict, what can you do when you go? Why don't you let your father take you to Li Rui's house, he should be back too." Li Yue came back, and of course Li Rui also came back.

Jiang Yuexiu was very persistent, and Zhu Yunxuan had no choice. Instead of staying at home alone, he finally chose to go to Li Rui's place.

Moreover, he has been unable to contact Li Rui these days, and he really wants to ask him about his current situation.I don't know if it's because of hanging out all day, but during the Chinese New Year, he was obviously very busy, but Li Rui wasn't around, so he felt a little lonely.

Li Rui came back last night. When he got up in the morning, he got a piece of news from Xiaohui——the resident opposite them had changed, and now it was a father and son.

"The father of that family has bad legs, and the son is tall and burly, but he is very silent, but he is very filial, and he pushes his father for a walk every night." Xiaohui said while cooking wontons .

"Do you know what they do?" Li Rui asked again. If there were no accidents, those two people should have been sent by Zheng Xianghong, but they didn't know what they were capable of.

However, although he didn't know what abilities the other party would have, he didn't dare to underestimate him. People who could be favored by Zheng Xianghong must have something unique.

"I don't know, but that old man greeted me and looked like a teacher." Xiaohui said, she still has a good impression of the opposite house, much better than the previous residents who like to care about every detail, but the other house There are only two men, and it's not good for her to get too close to each other.

"En." Li Rui responded, since he had already arrived at his door, he should pay a visit as soon as possible.If there is no accident, these two people will also report his situation to Zheng Xianghong while teaching him. In addition, is the veteran still responsible for protecting him?How should he face those two people?Finally, can they also teach Zhu Yunxuan?

Li Rui was thinking about Zhu Yunxuan when Zhu Yunxuan came.

"How are you doing recently?" Seeing Li Rui, Zhu Yunxuan immediately asked.The child on the opposite side was no different from before the Chinese New Year, but for some reason, he felt that Li Rui had changed a bit.

"I'm doing well." Li Rui smiled, seeing Zhu Yunxuan, he settled down again, and didn't bother to think about Zheng Xianghong's thoughts.

"You haven't been bullied, have you? I remember you said that those people in Beijing treated you badly." Zhu Yunxuan sat down next to Li Rui, saw Xiaohui washing the dishes, and asked again.

"No, my parents were not nice to me before, isn't it better now?" Li Rui opened his mouth and explained what happened in Beijing in detail.

"That's fine. Although you may be exposed to Zheng Xianghong's eyes in everything you do, it's good to have his support." Zhu Yunxuan analyzed the pros and cons, and had to admit that Li Rui's decision still outweighed the cons.

"I'm going to visit those two teachers right now, are you going?" Li Rui asked, remembering what he had remembered before.Zhu Yunxuan is now learning knowledge in different ways, and he knows this. Since he has such an opportunity, he certainly doesn't want to waste it.

"It's inappropriate for me to go, and it may expose our secrets." Zhu Yunxuan refused, of course he wanted to go, but doing so might expose himself to Zheng Xianghong's eyes... If there is a relationship between him and Li Rui The matter was discovered... Well, in fact, there is nothing between him and Li Rui now.

"You are better at acting than I am. If you were exposed, I would have been exposed long ago... At this moment, who would think that we are reborn?" Li Rui spoke again. I used to think that such a thing could not happen in reality.

"Let's go! It's the first time to meet Master, and you need to prepare some greetings." Zhu Yunxuan no longer refused, and said simply that he really wanted this opportunity.

In his life, he hopes that his parents can be happy, and of course he also hopes that he can be happy. Li Rui... His starting point is not as good as that of the other party. If he keeps falling behind, what else can he do?

The two went to visit each other, and Xiaohui naturally wouldn't stop them. When Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui entered the house with the same layout as Li Rui's residence, what they saw was a room with simple decoration and no family atmosphere.

There were not many things in the room, and it was very clean. If they hadn't seen someone, they might think that the family had moved out.

In the living room, there is only an Eight Immortals table and four stools. At this moment, an old man with glasses and white hair is sitting in a wheelchair reading a book. When he saw them, he put down the book in his hand and looked away. When it came to Li Rui: "You are here."

"Mr. Sun." Li Rui opened his mouth. The 70-[-]-year-old man opposite him had no expression on his face, but gave off a feeling of oppression.

I don't know if it was because of Zhu Yunxuan's presence, but he didn't say much: "There is nothing to do today. From now on, you come here at 05:30 every morning, and I will arrange for you to learn something."

"Mr. Sun, what do I want to learn?" Li Rui asked again.

"I don't know many things. What you need to learn are some little things to cultivate your sentiment. In addition, I have learned some miscellaneous things over the years." Sun Ling said, he is already old, and he has long hoped to accept A bright student, Zheng Tianqi was good at first, but unfortunately he was destined to be an official, so he only studied with him for five years in the end.

This time Zheng Xianghong asked him to come over to teach Li Rui. He also thought it would be nice to have a place with a nice view for retirement, but he didn't expect that Li Rui would bring another person here... This is a child's friendship or a superior's wisdom?

No matter what, if Li Rui wants him to teach one more person, he must be sincere enough.

"Grandpa Sun, you want to teach Li Rui, can you teach me by the way? I can cook for you and wash your clothes for you in the future." As soon as Zhu Yunxuan came in, he saw that the other party was holding an original document in his hand. The distorted letters are what makes him feel powerless the most. Zhu Yunxuan, who desperately hopes that someone can teach him English, immediately became interested, but he knows very well that no matter what Li Rui is, they will teach Li Rui, but He is different. If he wants to learn from others, he has to rely on himself.

Sun Ling was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Zhu Yunxuan to say that, a child of seven or eight years old really knows how to wash and cook?But Zhu Yunxuan's words won him more favor than those children who said they were smart.Moreover, Li Rui had already brought the child here, so he couldn't drive him out, at most he would write an extra note in the report to Zheng Xianghong.

"Yes, if you can really cook and wash clothes, I will teach you of course."

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a tall man in his thirties walked in. He had dark skin and a resolute expression. After looking around, he nodded to Li Rui: "Young master."

"Uncle Jiang." Li Rui also nodded towards the other party, eager to try.Regardless of the external performance, every man has a martial arts dream in his heart, and of course he is the same.

When he wrote his first martial arts novel in his previous life, he also fantasized about his happy and enmity.

"Hello, Uncle Jiang." Zhu Yunxuan also greeted and smiled sweetly.

He saw the food in the other party's hand sharply, and immediately took it over: "Grandpa Sun, Uncle Jiang, I'll go to the kitchen to pack the food, let's chat!" After leaving the kitchen, it's time to leave space for Li Rui and these two people.

"Your name is Li Rui, right? Do you want that child to learn with you?" Seeing Zhu Yunxuan entered the kitchen, Sun Ling asked. He had heard some things about Li Rui from Zheng Xianghong, and knew that this child was not simple, so he naturally The decision is left to the other party.

Li Rui nodded: "I want him to learn with me."

"For a person like you, it's okay to train a few helpers from an early age, but how much you can learn depends on him." They will teach Li Rui all their money, but Zhu Yunxuan is different.

"Thank you Grandpa Sun." Li Rui said immediately.

"I will be your master from now on," Sun Ling said.

"Master." Li Rui called out.

Sun Ling didn't show any abnormality because of Li Rui's identity. Veteran Jiang Yong was different. He didn't let Li Rui call him master, but insisted on calling Li Rui young master.

The three of them were talking outside, but Zhu Yunxuan stayed in the room, and Jiang Yong was half-attention there, but Zhu Yunxuan never came out, and later, there was a scent coming out.

Zhu Yunxuan is cooking?Li Rui was stunned for a moment, and opened the door of the kitchen. Sure enough, he saw Zhu Yunxuan stepping on the small stool where Caicai was sitting and cooking. The other party took off his coat but tied on an oversized scarf, which he had never seen before. appearance.

"You can have dinner after waiting another half an hour!" Zhu Yunxuan said with a smile, and he must do what he said. He couldn't rely on Li Rui all the time, and he had to let the other party willingly teach him.

It's already ten o'clock now, although 10:30 is a bit early for dinner, but the two of them should have eaten early in the morning, and they should be hungry by now.

"You know how to cook?" Li Rui was a little surprised.

After being reborn, he was actually surprised by many things. For example, Li Yue, in his previous life, never cooked in his impression, but in this life he used his cooking skills to please the Zheng family during the Chinese New Year, while Zhu Yun Xuan...he always felt that Zhu Yunxuan was not someone who could cook.

"Of course." Zhu Yunxuan turned his head and continued cooking, hiding the expression on his face. In his previous life, no matter whether he lived alone or was with Lu Ming later, he could cook. He practiced it. He was afraid of Jiang Yuexiu and the others being suspicious at home before, so he didn't dare to cook more dishes.

The braised pork was burning in the pot next to it, but now he was frying vegetables. He didn't dare to say that he was young and weak, so his hands became a little sore after a while.

"Then we'll wait to taste your cooking." Sun Ling pushed the wheelchair over and said with a smile, no matter what, an eight-year-old child really knows how to cook, so he has a good impression.

Zhu Yunxuan's dishes are very simple, one stir-fried vegetables, one braised pork, one braised radish and one tofu soup.

Originally, he wanted to make more dishes, but Jiang Yong didn't buy many ingredients, so that's all he could do.

There is nothing unusual about stir-fried vegetables. The braised pork is not cut into big pieces for the taste. The braised radish is put in the soup of the braised pork, which is very fragrant. The tofu soup is put in shredded pork. Three dishes and one soup Home cooking looks good too.

"Finally, I can eat something that is not cooked for nothing." Sun Ling looked at Zhu Yunxuan, and then at Jiang Yong.

"Grandpa Sun, you should have a taste. Tell me what you want to eat next time. If I don't know how to cook it, I will learn it." Zhu Yunxuan said immediately.

"It tastes good," Sun Ling ate a piece of meat, "It's much better than your Uncle Jiang's. He cooks plain boiled meat every meal. Even the radish is cut into pieces and steamed for me to eat with soy sauce." , As for the tofu, you don’t even need to cook it, it can be eaten directly with soy sauce.” He originally wanted Jiang Yong to pack a few dishes back, but the big man felt that it was not affordable and he was unwilling.

Originally, he thought that if he accepted his apprentice, he could command the nanny on the opposite side, but now that someone came up to help with the cooking, it would save him to think of a way to get the little nanny on the opposite side to help.

"Grandpa Sun, if you are willing, I will come here every day to help!" Zhu Yunxuan knew that Sun Ling and Jiang Yong must have come here secretly, that's why they didn't even ask for a babysitter when there was an elderly person with limited mobility. There is also a place for him to work hard.

Xiaohui didn't know about their affairs, so Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui went back to eat, and when they walked out of the room, they looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
