Chapter 70 Difficult to deal with

In the evening, Lin Wei was in charge, and Mingming and Zong Shao helped her.

Zong Shao was the only one who had attacked at first, but in order to have something delicious to eat at night, he quickly acted, and when he saw that they were busy, he came in and volunteered to help.

It’s just that he is not as tall as the stovetop, he needs to be held by someone when cooking, and watching when burning fire, not to mention cutting vegetables.

For a while, Lin Wei really couldn’t think of any task to arrange for him.

But seeing his full of anticipation, Lin Wei was a little reluctant to blow his self-confidence, so on the grounds of giving multiple helpers, he arranged people to Zong Shao and asked him to arrange work.

Zong Shao looked left and right, and finally found a head of garlic from the basket where Lin Wei put the ingredients, and handed it to his son for him to peel.

Obviously very motivated to work, after getting the garlic, he gave Zong Shao a non-standard military salute and said, “Guaranteed to complete the task.”

Zong Shao snorted and continued to chop vegetables, and the next second he heard his son’s weak voice: “Dad, how do you peel this?”

Zong Shao lowered his head and saw that Mingming was holding the head of garlic in one hand and the stalk of the head of garlic in the other. He reached out and took the garlic head, squatted on the ground, stretched out three fingers in each hand, squeezed the garlic head tightly and said, “Alright.”

Click and break, the garlic is divided into two halves.

Mingming oh oh nodded: “That’s it.”

“Take it and peel it.” Zong Shao handed the garlic to Mingming again.

Mingming took the garlic, walked over to the dustpan in the kitchen, and broke out a garlic clove. He stretched out his hand and was about to peel it. Once, twice, and three times, he still didn’t peel it, so he shouted again, “Dad! I can’t peel it! ”

Zong Shao put down the work in his hand again, turned around and looked at his son blankly: “Are you here to help me with my work, or to find a job for me?”

“My nails are too short to peel them off.” Mingming stretched out his hand and said innocently.

Lin Wei pays great attention to hygiene, so when the two children’s fingernails grow to a certain extent, she will cut them to avoid germs growing by touching them all day long.

Obviously, the nails were cut yesterday, and now the nails are not as high as the flesh of the fingertips.

Zong Shao was helpless, so he had to reach out and take the garlic in Mingming’s hand. He didn’t use too much force. The first time he just smashed the garlic, and then smashed the garlic cloves one by one, and did not let go of the two small garlic cloves, so as not to be peeled by his son. to find him again.

Next to him, he watched Zong Shao crack the garlic clove with a few clicks, and applauded excitedly: “Dad is amazing!”

Zong Shao squinted at his son: “Is this amazing?”

“Dad bang bang bang and smashed it, it’s amazing!” Mingming nodded like garlic, eager to ask, “Dad, can I shoot it?”

“I can let you try.” After Zong Shao finished speaking, he took Mingming into his arms.

It’s not that Zong Shao has never held a child before. On the way with the army, when he changes to a bus in the middle of the road, he will carry all his luggage and run wild with the child in one hand.

But after he went to the island, he seldom hugged him. He was not a father who would spoil his children. Obviously he didn’t dare to ask his father for a hug, even if he acted like a spoiled child, he still prefers a sweet and soft mother.

Therefore, after being picked up, he was obviously a little stunned, and he shook his head before asking stupidly, “Dad, why did you pick me up?”

Zong Shao said, “You’re too short, I’m afraid you won’t be able to reach the chopping board.”

Mingming wrinkled his nose: “I’m not short!” He is the tallest among the little friends!

“Then put you down?” Zong Shao reminded, “I won’t care if you can get the chopping board or not.”

Although he didn’t want to admit it, he clearly felt that if he stood on the ground, he might not be able to reach the chopping board, so he quickly shook his head and said, “No, that’s it.” He stretched out two hands to pick up the kitchen knife.

The kitchen knife was picked by Lin Wei. The knife surface is not large, and it is very light to hold. It is obviously not difficult to hold it with two hands.

However, when he picked up the kitchen knife, Zong Shao held his wrist and sent it forward, and adjusted the kitchen knife to lay flat: “The kitchen knife is sharp, it can’t be too close, you need to lay it flat, you know?”

“I know, I know!” Mingming was gearing up, raising his kitchen knife and shouting, “I’m going to start shooting garlic!”

Raise the kitchen knife and slap the remaining half of the garlic on the chopping board.

“Snapped!”

As the garlic cloves were scattered, Mingming also cried out, if Zong Shao had not been quick-witted and pressed the back of the knife in time, he might have thrown the kitchen knife off, which would have been very dangerous.

Of course, there is no danger now, only Mingming, rubbing his hands and screaming.

Lin Wei had just put the fried vegetables on a plate, when she heard the sound, she immediately put down the plate and turned around to ask what was going on. Clearly crying again with tears in his eyes, Zong Shao’s face was calm: “It’s okay, it’s just that the force of the chopper was shocked.”

Hearing the words, Mingming raised his head suddenly, and asked Zong Shao with his eyes, Dad, do you have no heart? I’m in so much pain, and you still say it’s okay!

Zong Shao raised his eyebrows to remind: “You said you wanted to try.”

“…” Mingming had no choice but to look at his mother.

Lin Wei deliberately pulled her hand away and looked at it for a while. The palm of her hand was a little red, but there was no major problem, so she asked, “Do you still shoot garlic?”

It was obviously fun to watch Zong Shao slap garlic easily, so he said he wanted to slap garlic. After he started to use it, he found it was so painful, and he didn’t want to continue, so he quickly shook his head: “No more, no more!”

“Do you still peel the garlic then?” Lin Wei continued to ask.

Mingming hesitated and asked tentatively, “Mom, if I finish peeling the garlic, can I eat fish and shrimp at night?”

Lin Wei had already seen her son’s plan, but pretended to understand it now, and asked in a long voice, “You came in to help just for food?”

When the little thought was dismantled, he nodded embarrassedly, and emphasized, “My tongue is healed!” He even stuck out his tongue to show Lin Wei.

Lin Wei watched it for a while, until he could hardly keep his mouth open, and then deliberately said, “Yes, but seafood is hair, what should I do if my tongue hurts after eating it?”

He clearly didn’t understand what a hair object was. As for the pain in his tongue after eating, he bravely shook his head: “I’m not afraid of pain!”

“Really?” Lin Wei pointedly looked at Mingming’s hand.

Mingming’s mind was spinning fast, he pretended to be calm and blew his palms and said, “What kind of pain is this, what a trifle!”

Seeing him working so hard to eat, Lin Wei softened her heart and said with a smile, “That’s alright, I’ll let you eat two bites then.”

“Just two?” Mingming was disappointed.

Lin Wei narrowed her eyes: “Do you think it’s too little?”

Mingming shook his head quickly: “A lot, a lot, just two.”

After negotiating, Mingming took the garlic cloves that had been photographed and squatted in front of the dustpan and peeled them.

At this time, Rui Rui also came back from Xiao Shi’s house. After entering the house, she habitually looked for Mingming first. No one was seen upstairs or downstairs, so she called “brother” into the kitchen and asked, “Mom, did you see…”

Before he could finish his question, he saw Mingming squatting beside the dustpan and leaned over to ask him what he was doing.

Mingming’s face was heavy: “I’m preparing for dinner at night.”

“What?” Rarity wondered.

Mingming opened his hands and showed him the garlic clove in his hand: “Can’t you see it?”

The two children rarely go into the kitchen, so they only know what they look like after they are put on the plate. Rarity doesn’t really know the garlic clove in her hand, so she asks, “What is this?”

“You don’t even know this?” Mingming’s eyes widened, “It’s a head of garlic!” In fact, he only knew what it was after hearing about it from his father, but that didn’t stop him from pretending to be coercive.

“What’s a garlic head for?” Rarity asked.

“This…” Mingming didn’t ask, and he didn’t know, so he raised his head and asked, “Dad, what is the garlic head for?”

Zong Shao replied, “Minced garlic is minced garlic, and your mother is going to make steamed shrimp with minced garlic.”

Mingming suddenly realized, and then told his brother: “This is for steamed shrimp with garlic.”

Rarity: “…Oh.” I heard you don’t need to repeat thank you.

The next second he heard his brother ask, “Aren’t you going to peel with me?”

Rarity: “Huh?”

Mingming said sincerely: “It’s very hard to cook. Mom and Dad and I have been busy for a long time, don’t you want to help?”

In fact, Mingming felt it was very hard. He didn’t understand why the garlic head was so small that he could cover it with one hand, but there were so many garlic cloves to be peeled after smashing, and he couldn’t grasp it with both hands. !

Although he obviously didn’t know the saying “Blessings come together, and troubles come together”, it didn’t affect him pulling his younger brother into the water.

And Rarity, really fell for his brother’s trick, and seeing that his parents and brother were so busy, he was too embarrassed to go out to play again. So, next to the dustpan, there was another child squatting and peeling garlic.

…

Because of having two children, no, it should be said that it was Mingming’s help. This day’s dinner time was successfully… 15 minutes later than usual.

People who cook often have a good idea of ​​the time it takes for the dishes they often cook. When Lin Wei buys food every day, she will plan what to cook today, so that she can know how long in advance she needs to start cooking.

Because Zong Shao usually arrives home around 6:10 when he doesn’t go to sea, Lin Wei is used to having dinner around 6:15. The same is true on Sunday. Because of Zong Shao’s help, she will move back the time to start cooking.

Of course, this time is not completely accurate. It is possible to move it five minutes in advance or five minutes later. Occasionally, there is an accident, and it is possible to delay the meal time a little bit later.

Today’s is obviously the accident.

In order to wait for the garlic he peeled, Lin Wei waited for several minutes after frying the dish. In addition, it took time to fry the minced garlic and steam the shrimp, so it was too late to start the meal.

Although the meal was started later than usual, Lin Wei was in a good mood. This was the first time her two children helped to cook, and it was very memorable.

It’s a pity that it’s not like a few decades later, when everyone has a mobile phone, and when they come across something memorable, they click a few pictures, send them to the circle of friends as a souvenir, and also show off.

Not to mention mobile phones, many people in this era have not even taken a few photos.

Since Lin Wei was born, the number of photos taken can be counted with one palm. Since Zong Shao is not here, there is no family portrait.

It is impossible to take pictures as a souvenir, all she can do is eat more minced garlic to show her support.

The brothers also ate a lot of minced garlic. Although minced garlic is an ingredient for lobster, the fried minced garlic smells fragrant and tastes sweet, and it is delicious just to eat it.

Every time Lin Wei cooks seafood such as garlic oysters/scallops/abalone, after the two children eat the seafood, they will eat all the minced garlic.

Not to mention the minced garlic that they peeled with their own hands today, of course it tasted more delicious. Not only did they return it themselves, but they also greeted Lin Wei and Mr. Zong to eat less. So that in the end the garlic was almost eaten, and half of the shrimp was left.

At this time, it was obvious that there were far more than two mouthfuls of seafood in his mouth, so facing the remaining lobster, he licked his lips and was about to move, but thinking of what his mother said, he didn’t dare to start, and looked up pitifully at Lin Wei.

Lin Wei looked amused, and reached out to hold a lobster for each of the two children: “Eat it.”

Mingming looked surprised: “Can I eat it?”

“For the sake of your hard work peeling garlic, you can eat whatever you want, as long as you’re not afraid of your tongue hurting.” Of course, it’s impossible for the tongue to hurt, but if the skin is bitten, it won’t make it impossible to eat the hair, but Lin Wei is a wicked eye. trying to scare him.

Although he was bluffed, he went out of his way to eat, biting the back of the shrimp in one bite.

Rarity still doesn’t know what happened in the afternoon, so she asks in confusion, “Mom? Why does my tongue hurt when I eat shrimp?”

Mingming immediately woke up and looked at Lin Wei with his eyes open, for fear that she would tell his younger brother the shameful thing about biting his tongue, which would affect his image too much!

Noticing Mingming’s expression, Lin Wei held back a smile and said, “This is the only reason why my brother is not feeling well. Your body is fine, and you won’t have a sore tongue when you eat shrimp.”

Rarity suddenly realized, turned her head and asked Mingming, “Brother, are you sick?”

Mingming nodded vaguely: “Mmmm.”

“Then you still eat lobster?” Rarity asked again, “Aren’t you afraid of pain?”

Mingming immediately put down the lobster, patted his chest with oily hands, and said, “I’m a man, I’m not afraid of pain or pain!”

When Rarity heard this, her brother’s eyes instantly filled with admiration.

Lin Wei and Zong Shao: “…the old shígG Dujia”

Although they are parents, they have to sigh with emotion, their son is really thick-skinned!

…

The next door dragged for three or four days to complete the move.

Normally, it shouldn’t be so slow, although Gao Xiulian had been vacant for a long time in front of the army, so when they moved in, the furniture was much better than bad. But they were not willing to buy new furniture as generously as Zong Shao did. Except for the bed and cabinet in the master bedroom, which were newly bought, everything else was repaired and reused.

Even though they have added a lot of things one after another in the past two years, on the day of the move, Zhao Feng also found someone to carry the bed and wardrobe, and the rest were towed away with a tricycle. In addition, Gao Xiulian packed up several days in advance. Even if it can’t be moved on the same day, it should be almost the same for two trips the next day, and it won’t drag on for three or four days.

In this regard, Zhao Li said: “You can’t see this, and you are not satisfied with your new home! Although it is convenient to live in a row house, the space is narrow. The house I lived in before had only two rooms. Their three children could sleep at night. The problem, Gao Xiulian is used to living in a big house, so it’s no wonder that she is happy to move there.”

Lin Wei asked, “Does she want to move back after running back here and there?”

“I think it is. I heard from the previous neighbors that the deputy head of Zhao had a fire at home the day before yesterday, and Gao Xiulian handed over the keys.” After Gao Xiulian, Zhao Li reminded the dinner tomorrow, and reminded Lin Wei to remember to dress up the whole family. Attend.

Lin Weichi asked: “Aren’t we going to have a meal? Why do we have to dress up to attend?”

Zhao Li was shocked: “This is the first time for our families to have dinner together. Do you still want to come here in sloppy clothes?”

That’s not true, it’s just… After a short thought, Lin Wei decided to ask first: “What do you mean by costume?”

“Just put on your most decent, cleanest, and best-looking clothes!” Zhao Li said eagerly, “I specially prepared rewards for the top three families!”

Lin Wei: “…” Okay.
