Wild and sassy in the 80s

Chapter 41
kitchen.

Chen Yan stood silently, did not do anything, and did not take the initiative to ask Chen's mother what cold salad she wanted.

When Chen's mother called her in, she didn't really ask her to work, but she had something to explain.

"Chen Yan, how old are you this year?" Mother Chen didn't look at her daughter, she just lowered her head and asked while chopping vegetables.

Chen Yan could see her mother's expression, she didn't have any mood swings, and even the words she asked were gentle and gentle, not questioning, but really asking this question.

"35 years old." Chen Yan replied.

Mother Chen stopped chopping vegetables, stood up straight, and faced Chen Yan, "Where is your brother Chen Lie?"

"..." Chen Yan stared at her, knowing that she had to answer, her lips moved, and she accurately reported the age displayed, "29 years old."

"Do you remember when his birthday is?" Mother Chen asked.

Her voice was gentle and gentle, but Chen Yan felt overwhelmed. The instinct of seeking good fortune and avoiding harm was revealed at this moment, and she dared not answer her mother's words for a while.

"Don't remember?" Chen's mother looked directly at her daughter who had loved her since she was a child, "I still remember but didn't dare to say anything on his birthday?"

Chen Yan was angry just now because Chen's mother only called her to help in the kitchen, but at this moment it completely disappeared, and she looked at her with pleading eyes.

Chen's mother sighed, shook her head, lowered her head and continued to cut vegetables, "I don't ask you to greet your brother with a smile, and I don't ask you to talk and laugh with Xiao Su, as long as you act like a big sister."

"Mom—" Chen Yan couldn't hold back her face, tears just fell down, "I didn't do anything to them, you just said me..."

Mother Chen didn't speak, but the action of chopping vegetables was a little heavier.

"Chen Yan, you are 35, and your children are already in elementary school. Can you be more mature?" Mother Chen held back her anger, "I called you into the kitchen just now, and you shouldn't have given Xiao Su a look!"

"I just took a look, and didn't tell her what to do!" Chen Yan was also angry, "What if, what if she also wants to help in the kitchen? I looked at her thinking that if she wanted to, then I would bring with her!"

Mother Chen became impatient, "Chen Yan, don't say such flattering words, I know your temper, and you know it too."

Chen Yan still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chen's mother raising her hand, "You save some face for yourself and me, don't ask me to explain it to you too clearly!"

After she finished speaking, she felt footsteps coming towards the kitchen, and quickly pointed to the soaked fungus on the counter, "Wipe your face, and go wash the pot of fungus."

Chen Yan saw Chen's mother looking out of the kitchen door while she was talking, she quickly understood, wiped her face quickly, turned her back and went to wash the fungus.

Su Qinghu did it on purpose, deliberately making the light sandals make a sound, which was a signal to the mother and daughter in the kitchen that they could stop if they whispered.

These slippers are not the tendon-soled or plastic ones in summer, but somewhat similar to hotel slippers, soft and comfortable, but not easy to make noise.

In order to make the slippers make a sound without letting the people in the living room notice, Su Qinghu tried several methods indiscriminately, and only then did the sound pass through.

"Mom, is there any helper work?" Su Qinghu smiled and talked to Chen's mother, "Today I will be in charge of helping you, and I will try your dishes first, and I will cook another day, and I will let you taste my food too." cooking."

Chen's mother likes a generous girl like Su Qinghu. Hearing her speak openly, the depression just now disappeared a little, "Okay, you can help me, and try my cooking later."

When Su Qinghu was asking, he saw the garlic on the table, picked it up naturally, and asked Mother Chen, "Would the garlic be whole, or—"

"Anything is fine." Mother Chen smiled, "I'll use this garlic in cold dishes and stir-fried vegetables later."

As soon as she said it, Su Qinghu understood, quickly peeled off the garlic coat, and then snapped off one by one, put it on the chopping board, picked up another knife, laid the back of the knife flat, "papapapa" Take a few shots.

Mother Chen: "..."

Chen's mother was stunned for a moment, she wanted to praise her work carefully and delicately, but now she didn't know how to praise her.

"Mom, you are so strong!" Erdan, a sycophant, came over, and even reached out to Su Qinghu to peel garlic, to help her.

Su Qinghu sighed silently, gave up the urge to stuff a clove of garlic into the mouth of this poorly flattered child, handed him two, and when he took it, he peeled the garlic and lowered his head to ask, "How do you go?" The kitchen ran away?"

She has to bow her head, Er Dan's words just now did not know how to poke her mother-in-law, she has to give the grinning mother-in-law a private space for her facial expressions to recover.

"It's boring." Erdan curled her lips, "My brother likes what my uncle said, and my father and grandpa also listened carefully. I am still young, and I don't want to bear the burden of life so quickly."

The man said, and sighed, as if he had been destroyed by life many times, the corners of Su Qinghu's mouth almost twitched.

I'm afraid this kid has been hanging out too much with those old men and women in the streets and alleys?Speaking of it, there is a sense of a little adult, and even a bit of lament that it is not easy for a big brother to beat the country, it is simply...

"All right, all right," Chen's mother couldn't help laughing, "We won't listen, we won't shoulder the burden of life so early!"

Erdante nodded sincerely, "Yes."

Su Qinghu smiled sullenly, saw him peel the garlic, reached out to take it, and then asked Mother Chen, "Mom, are there any tomatoes?"

"Yes." Mother Chen bent down and took out a basket from the corner without asking, "It's all here."

Su Qinghu leaned over and picked out four sandy tomatoes from inside. While washing, he said, "Let's have a tomato mixed with sugar."

"It's done, the sugar jar at home is full." Chen's mother glanced at Er Dan, and seeing him overjoyed, she knew that Su Qinghu was doing this for the sake of the child, "Wash one for the child to eat first."

Su Qinghu responded, and gently scratched the first washed tomato with a knife, then broke it open with his hands, and handed it all to Erdan, "Have half for your brother."

"it is good!"

Erdan happily replied, took the tomato and went out, thought of something, stopped again, turned around and said to Su Qinghu, "Mom, I want to eat the cucumber salad you made."

After finishing speaking, he even winked at Su Qinghu, his face was full of the small appearance that although I helped you get a good impression, you don't need to thank him!
Su Qinghu: "..."

He thought that her cold cucumber salad was delicious, so if she made it today, he would be able to gain a good impression?

Praise him?What are you thinking!It would be nice not to beat him up!Is this a chance for her to show it?This is to bring hatred to her!Haven't you seen that since she entered the kitchen, the eldest sister hasn't said a word?Not even turning around!
"Go and eat your tomato!" Su Qinghu waved his hand away, "I just said that I'm only a helper today, so don't make trouble for me."

Turning around, looking at Chen's mother, he said with a little affection, "Mom, I'm not very good at cooking, you can practice after I go back."
