Back to 90s small fishing village

Chapter 18 Brown sugar ginger water soft-boiled eggs

"Why should I leave? Xu Pingcai, let me ask you, how do you feel now that you have taken over my shift?" Xu Caimei asked.

Xu Pingcai didn't speak, just looked at Xu Caimei in front of him quietly.

"Caimei, I know I was wrong. Can you come back? I will treat you with my heart, I swear."

Before Xu Caimei could speak, Xu Pingan and Xie Chunyu entered the room. When they saw Xu Pingcai, Xu Pingan's expression became terrifying.

"Xu Pingcai!"

This angry shout was the same as the night he was killed by Xu Pingan in his dream. Xu Pingcai was so frightened that he had no time to respond, screamed strangely, and ran away instinctively.

The big yellow dog in the yard had already finished the ham sausage. As soon as Xu Pingcai came out of the yard and saw the dog, he touched his pocket and remembered that he had not prepared an extra ham sausage. As a result, he was chased and bitten by the dog with bared teeth. Half a village.

"This bastard! Didn't he hurt you?" Xu Ping'an asked with concern, handing over the enamel jar and hot water bottle he had been holding.

After stuffing the hot water bottle into the bed, Xu Caimei took the enamel jar.

Opening the lid, there is thick brown sugar ginger water inside, with a poached egg floating up and down on top.

"There is no brown sugar at home, so I asked Ping An to borrow some. He heard that you had dysmenorrhea, so he made this for you - Ping An is so considerate, I even envy him." Xie Chunyu hid at the door and snickered, "God damn it. It's early, I'll go back to the house and go to bed first, and you guys can talk."

After saying that, she closed the door gently and left.

Xu Ping'an was a little shy, lowering his head and not knowing what to say.

"Thank you, Brother Ping'an." Xu Caimei held the steaming vat, stared at the poached eggs again and again, picked them up and took a sip.

"Why don't you eat eggs?" Xu Ping'an asked, "Is it not to your liking?"

"Brother Ping'an, spoon..." Xu Caimei also blushed and whispered.

"Oh, yes, you see, I forgot about it," Xu Ping'an slapped his head, "I'll go to the kitchen to get it for you. You drink the brown sugar water first."

When Xu Pingan came back and took the spoon from his hand, Xu Caimei took a bite of the poached egg, and the warm and sticky yolk suddenly poured into Xu Caimei's mouth.

"Soothing." Xu Caimei smiled.

"I remember that you loved eating since you were a child. When I came to your house to eat, I always heard you and your aunt acting coquettishly and saying that you wanted to eat sour food... I'm sorry, I shouldn't mention your sadness..."

Xu Caimei shook her head, "This is not a sad thing, Brother Ping'an, this is my happy memory. Listening to you say this, I feel like I am back when I was a child when my parents were still around. It's so good."

Xu Ping'an sat down by the bed and stretched out his hand out of habit, trying to touch Xu Caimei's hair like he did when he was a child, but his hand stopped in the air. After all, they had grown up.

Xu Caimei understood this as Xu Pingan's concern for her past. Although she was a little sad, she just smiled and didn't say much.

The two sat together in silence in this wonderful embarrassment, and no one spoke for a long time.

"It's getting late, you go to bed early, and I'll go back first." Finally, Xu Ping'an stood up and spoke first, "Let's leave the jar with you for now. I'll come back to get it tomorrow - yes, tomorrow Just don’t go to sea and have a good rest.”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Ping'an."

"You're welcome." After saying that, he left, leaving Xu Caimei alone, holding the warm ceramic jar.

On the other side, the panting Xu Pingcai returned home, only to hear the quarrel again.
