Rebirth of the third-rate cook

At the beginning, Liu Guo, who was still trying to keep his spirits up and refused to squint for a while, fell asleep not long after the car drove on the highway. Qin Yan glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and turned down the music with a smile.

Liu Guo woke up again, but was awakened by the jolt, with sleepy eyes open, looking at the golden fields outside the window, and immediately opened the car window excitedly, "Where have we been?"

"It's almost here, but this last section of the road is not easy to walk, it's a bit bumpy, sit still and don't bump into..." Before the last word "head" was uttered, Liu Guo had already yelled, Qin Yan glanced at Liu Guo helplessly, "I told you to sit still..."

Liu Guo grinned and rubbed her head while grinning, "It's okay, my head is strong... It's the first time I've come to the countryside when I grow up. By the way, Brother Qin, the ones in the fields just now should be rice, right?"

"Yeah, it's the rice harvest season now."

The two were talking, Qin Yan turned a corner, turned into a small road, and then turned around and entered the yard of the family on the side of the road.

Three bays with large windows and wide doors, a one-and-a-half-story building, and a well-paved concrete yard in front of the door, and an old man was standing in the yard. When he saw the car coming in, he immediately smiled.

Liu Guo had no idea what was going on in front of him. Just as he was about to ask a question, Pudding jumped out of the car and jumped into the old man's arms, "Grandma, Pudding misses you."

Liu Guo watched this scene with his mouth open, then suddenly turned his head and stared at Qin Yan, "Is this your home?"

Qin Yan let out a "hmm" while unfastening his seat belt. Liu Guo suppressed his voice and frowned, "Why didn't you tell me that I came to your house? What do I look like with my hands empty?"

Qin Yan looked at Liu Guo with a half-smile, "It's not my daughter-in-law coming, what do I need to buy?"

Liu Guo was slightly annoyed, "That's not the case! You..."

Seeing that Liu Guo was really impatient, Qin Yan stopped teasing him, "I bought it in the trunk."

Liu Guo mumbled, "You bought it with money..." Then something came to mind, "Then I'll give you the money later, as if I bought it!" Seeing that Qin Yan was about to speak, he hurriedly added, " Don't disagree, it's a deal!" Then Qin Yan opened the door and stepped out without waiting for Qin Yan's reaction.

"Hello Auntie."

"You are the fruit, right? Huo Huo often tells me about you, saying that he is lucky to have you, otherwise his store will not be able to open."

Liu Guo first almost burst out laughing when he heard the "fire", and then blushed because of Qin's mother's compliment, "Auntie, you are exaggerating, I'm just a part-time worker..."

Qin's mother didn't care what Liu Guo said at all, and sighed to herself, "Oh... poor child, it's not easy to be alone..."

Just when Liu Guo was a little bit at a loss by Qin's mother, Qin Yan came over with something to relieve him, "Okay, mom, don't stand outside, we haven't had lunch yet, you don't want to starve your son to death, do you? "

Qin's mother hurriedly pulled Liu Guo into the room, "Look at me, I'm busy talking, eat first, eat first, the food is already ready... Oh, Auntie, I can't compare with you chefs, don't dislike Auntie's craftsmanship ..."

"Auntie, what are you talking about? My dishes are purely heavy-tasting restaurants, and can't be compared with home-cooked dishes..." After talking, several people entered the room.

The kitchen was built in the backyard. There is a wood-burning earthen stove and a modern gas stove. The kitchen is very large, so the dining table is set aside. It is a red-lacquered Eight Immortals table. Liu Guo, who was talking and laughing, saw the table When the cake was in the middle, the whole person froze there.

Qin's mother saw him staring at the cake, and said quickly, "Is the cake not good-looking? There are no good tricks in the countryside. I asked Huohuo to buy it from the city and bring it back. He just said no, and said it was for you. Surprise... oh..."

"No, no, auntie, it's very good-looking, I, like it very much..." Liu Guo sniffed, feeling that she was almost speechless, and looked at Qin Yan dully.

Qin Yan smiled lightly, and patted the back of Liu Guo's head, "Why are you staring blankly? Sit down and eat quickly..."

The four sat on one side, and Pudding urged Liu Guo to light a candle and make a wish. Liu Guo just closed his eyes and wanted to make a wish, but Pudding stopped him, "I haven't sung Happy Birthday to Uncle Guoguo yet..."

After the little guy had his fill, Liu Guo was allowed to blow out the candles and share the cake. Seeing this, Qin's mother stood up and said, "Eat first, I'll fill the stove with grass and heat up the pork rib soup in the pot..."

Liu Guo stood up quickly, "Auntie, let me..."

"No, no, no, how can you young people know how to cook stoves..." He sat down behind the stove and filled some hay first, then pulled up the bellows, and still asked, "By the way, the fire will be available in the morning." Cook longevity noodles for you? If he forgets, Auntie will make it up for you, this longevity noodles can’t be saved, it’s auspicious!”

Liu Guo grinned and gritted her teeth, "I've never forgotten, Brother Qin cooked it for me, and even fried poached eggs..."

The stove hadn't been turned off for a long time, so I filled in a few handfuls of herbs randomly, and the soup in the pot boiled. Qin's mother filled a large bowl and brought it to the table, "It's good to eat it, but it's probably not good if it's made with fire. This kid has had a grudge against the kitchen since he was a child, he can get started with everything quickly, but he just can't cook, but it doesn't matter, auntie will make hand-rolled noodles for you to eat at night..."

"Brother Qin's cooked noodles are not bad..." Liu Guo glanced at Qin Yan with a smirk.

And Qin Yan laughed so that the little pear dimple trembled, "Okay, mom, you have demolished me from just now to now, can you save me some face? Anyway, I am his boss. You slandered me in front of the employees. The boss is not afraid that I will lose my prestige?"

Qin's mother said angrily while picking up vegetables for Liu Guo, "Why is the boss not a boss? Without Guo Guo's craftsmanship, can you be a boss? Don't be like the people in the city. The business is not very big, and the boss's airs should be learned first. You said, why don’t you young people know how to respect craftsmen? It’s an old saying, it’s better to have a lot of money than a skill. If you ask me, I don’t know if you can be a boss for a long time, but I do. Fruits are handcrafted, and there is food to eat wherever they go.”

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Guo, "Guo Zi's birthday was a good one. People say that the mother at the beginning of the first lunar month is the young master in August and a half, because children born on these two days don't have to worry about having no milk when they are born. Whose family is the best?" Do you have no food left over for these two festivals? Haha... Let’s have a birthday at noon and a Mid-Autumn Festival at night. In the evening, Auntie will make lotus root boxes for you. We like to eat this during the Mid-Autumn Festival. By the way, in the morning I also specially I bought a few crabs from the market, and we will also steam them at night..."

Liu Guo blinked desperately to prevent tears from falling down.

This kind of scene was my desire in dreams countless times, with nagging parents, the taste of home, celebrating my birthday during the day, and celebrating the festival with the family at night, even if I am not facing my parents at this time, Even if they are not their relatives, they gave themselves a dreamed birthday, a dreamed Mid-Autumn Festival.

After eating and coaxing Pudding to sleep, Qin Yan dug out two fishing rods from the warehouse, "Come on, let's go fishing by the river behind the house."

Liu Guo looked suspiciously at the two dusty fishing rods, "Are you sure you can catch fish? Where's the bait?"

Qin Yan winked at Liu Guo and said, "Now you're underestimating me. Don't mention the fishing rod. Without a fishing rod, I can go down to the river and catch two. As for the bait, isn't it everywhere in this rural area? Later on Let’s go dig under the ashes, and I’m sure we’ll find some red earthworms.” Seeing that Liu Guo was still hesitating, “Let’s go, anyway, staying here is staying here, so let’s sit by the river.”

Liu Guo thinks about it too, since I’ve come here, it’s too bad not to walk around, and immediately smiled, “Then I’ll say hello in advance, I don’t know how to use water, if you fall into the river, you have to be responsible for picking me up .”

Qin Yan looked Liu Guo up and down, then suddenly stepped forward, put his arm around Liu Guo's waist and lifted him off the ground, then put him down and said, "Look, with your small body, it's not easy to grab you." Take it easy?"

Liu Guozheng was still in fear because of Qin Yan's "sudden attack". Hearing what Qin Yan said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Arrogance!"

After tossing by the river, the two of them sat quietly by the river and looked at the motionless buoy. Liu Guo was still staring at the river with great interest, but after a long time without any movement, he couldn't sit still. He turned to look at Qin Yan still looked calm and relaxed, so he looked back listlessly.

"What? Can't sit still?" Qin Yan asked without moving.

"It's okay to sit, but it's a bit weird to keep silent."

Qin Yan couldn't help laughing, "Who told you that you can't talk anymore? As long as you don't scare the fish away with too much noise."

Liu Guo resented, "Then why don't you speak? If you don't speak, I dare not speak. I thought that if I speak, the fish will be scared away."

Qin Yan smiled and frowned, but he didn't reply. He wouldn't tell Liu Guo that he did it on purpose, just to see when Liu Guo started scratching his head and couldn't sit still.

"Brother Qin, let me ask you something."

"kindness?"

"Why did I only see Aunt Qin alone, that, Uncle Qin..."

"I wasn't there when I was still in elementary school. I accidentally fell off the scaffolding while working on a construction site, so I went there at that time."

Liu Guo pursed her lips in embarrassment, and said in an embarrassing tone, "Well, I shouldn't have asked..."

Qin Yan, on the other hand, smiled at Liu Guo, "It's okay, it's been so many years, besides, it's the truth, there's nothing you should ask."

Liu Guo took a closer look at Qin Yan and saw that he was really fine, so he felt relieved, "Then, isn't Aunt Qin left alone? Why don't you take her to live with her in the city?"

"My mother is not willing. She said that she has been here all her life. She is familiar with the people in the front and back of the house, but she is not used to it in the city. She can't find the north when she goes out. She is very flustered. So, Let's respect her wishes, anyway, it won't take long to drive back from the city, if she doesn't want to go, I'll just come back more often."

Liu Guo nodded and said with emotion, "Brother Qin is a filial son."

Unexpectedly, Qin Yan heard Liu Guo's exclamation, and laughed at himself, "Are you filial? I'm afraid there is no one in the world who is less filial than me."

Liu Guo looked back at Qin Yan in surprise, but this time Qin Yan had no expression on his face, just staring blankly at the river.Liu Guo blinked his eyes, and turned his head to stare at his fishing rod. He realized that what he just said touched the past that Qin Yan didn't want to recall. There was an urge to comfort, but Liu Guo restrained it.

You can't forget your identity just because the other party has carefully arranged a birthday for you. There are some words and things, and it is more polite to ask. Everyone has their own secrets in their hearts. At this time, he can only pretend that he doesn't know. Best respect bar.
