Chapter 11

After listening to the conversation between Aunt Zhang and Li Linzhou, Grandma Li also said with a smile: "Xiao Lian, what good food is it, can we eat it? Don't you and Ajiu just focus on that little guy Lin Zhou all day long, we also I want to try something new."

This is a complete joke, but Aunt Zhang is a real person. She put down the bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen: "Then you wait a moment, I'll go and take them out."

Li Chujiu smiled. Seeing her like this, Grandpa Li asked, "Ah Jiu, what are you doing again? Could it be a new type of kimchi?"

Since Li Chujiu came, the biggest change is the food. Although Aunt Zhang cooks well, she has been cooking for so many years, and there are not many kinds of cooking in this era. After Li Chujiu joined this big family, she often cooks some dishes. Eating all over the world, these three meals a day have become what they look forward to the most.

Before Li Chujiu answered, Aunt Zhang had already returned with an enamel bowl, put it in the middle of the table, and said, "Taste all of them." She didn't say much else, and she gave Li Chujiu a wink to tell her not to poke it. break.

Seeing Aunt Zhang's childish expression, Li Chujiu lowered her head and smiled. Seeing that everyone present had picked up chopsticks, she also picked up a piece of chopsticks and ate them. The taste was the same as imagined, sweet and sour, especially appetizing.

Li Linzhou's performance was the most straightforward. After he ate it, he said, "It's delicious!" and took another piece.

Grandma Li studied for a while after eating, Lin Yazhu asked: "What is this made of, it's a pretty good appetizer."

"Guess what this is?" Aunt Zhang ate it earlier, but now she is making a fuss.

Grandpa Li chewed a piece slowly, aftertaste and said: "What kind of dried meat is this? It should be some kind of melon."

Li Xingbang thinks this food is delicious, but it is more suitable for women and children, or as an appetizer before meals, so after eating a piece, he didn't eat it, but he also became interested in this food, so he took a closer look at it in the bowl : "This color should be melon or pumpkin, but pumpkin can't be so strong."

Grandma Li nodded and agreed: "Well, the taste of pumpkin is indeed not so strong, and it doesn't taste like pumpkin either."

Lin Yazhu asked: "Aunt Zhang, what the hell is this? Tell me quickly, don't be a fool."

Aunt Zhang and Li Chujiu looked at each other and said with a smile: "It's pumpkin, it's raw pumpkin, it's A Jiujiao's method, this sweet and sour pumpkin is the best appetizer, I thought it tastes good for children, if you like it, Occasionally, it can also be eaten as an appetizer, and the method is quite simple."

Li Xingbang likes to cook, so he hurriedly asked, "How did you do this? Tell me quickly."

Aunt Zhang talked eloquently: "The method is so simple. Find the tender pumpkin, clean it up and cut it into thin slices for later use. Boil a pot of hot water, put a few sour plums in it, and stew until the plums are almost as good as water. Put a small amount of rock sugar in it, and then put some vinegar, the sauce is ready, put the pumpkin slices in after it cools down, let it simmer overnight and then take it out."

Lin Yazhu was not proficient in cooking, so he was a little surprised when he heard this method: "It's that simple?" Although there are not many kinds of snacks in this era, there are still some. It's complicated, I didn't expect it to be so simple to make a small pumpkin.

Aunt Zhang smiled: "I also think it's quite simple. If it wasn't for Ah Jiu's idea, how could there be such a thing." She turned to look at Grandma Li: "Old lady, from now on, people at home can make some things like this." How good it is to be a snack for people to eat."

Grandma Li hadn't spoken yet, but Grandpa Li said: "Pumpkin nourishes the lungs and nourishes qi, and can also beautify the skin. It has many benefits. From now on, you can get some to eat from time to time."

As soon as the words fell, Li Linzhou was the first to agree: "Yes, I like this!"

Grandma Li also smiled and said: "Well, every time the pumpkin vines in the yard are either boiled or stewed, they are tired of the taste after so many years. It's good to eat something new. Ah Jiu thinks about other dishes, this sweet and sour pumpkin It’s good, but I can’t get on the main table.”

Li Chujiu nodded with a smile: "It's no problem, I will study it with Aunt Zhang when I have time."

Grandpa Li snorted twice, and said, "You can cook at any time, don't forget to study, you still have to distinguish between primary and secondary."

Lin Yazhu looked at Li Chujiu, smiled and said, "Ah Jiu, look at you, you little person, you have a lot of things in your head, tell me, how do you learn it? If you have the knack , I have to teach Lin Zhou."

Aunt Zhang said: "Isn't that right, Ah Jiu is handsome and has a good handicraft. Anyone who marries in the future should laugh at his dreams."

Smiling, Li Chujiu's cheeks flushed slightly: "It's not as good as what you said, I just like reading books. If I read a lot, I will naturally know many things."

When I mentioned study just now, Li Xingbang remembered something, and said: "Ah Jiu, you have been at home for a few days, are you mentally prepared? When can you go to school? Now that the school has started, if you are afraid that you will not be able to keep up with the progress, you can Repeat the third year of junior high school, you are still young, and it will be the same when you take the high school entrance examination next year."

When it came to this topic, Grandpa Li also paid attention to it. After breakfast, Aunt Zhang, Lin Yazhu, and Grandma Li cleaned up the dishes. Grandpa Li, Li Xingbang, and Li Chujiu moved to the living room and sat down to continue chatting.Li Linzhou likes to get tired of Li Chujiu, and continued to eat slowly with the unfinished sweet and sour pumpkin.

Seeing this, Lin Yazhu warned: "Lin Zhou, don't finish eating all at once, and you just ate breakfast, if you eat too much, you will accumulate food and your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

Li Linzhou said 'Oh', picked up the bowl and walked to the kitchen, it seemed that he didn't plan to eat any more.

Returning to the topic at the dinner table just now, Li Chujiu smiled slightly and said confidently: "Uncle, I can go to school anytime, and I am sure I can keep up. To be honest, if I can, I hope to skip a grade after I get used to it for a while. "

Hearing this, Li Xingbang raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much: "Since that's the case, then I'll start making arrangements. I have textbooks for junior high and high school at home. You can read them when you have free time."

Lin Yazhu is a teacher, there is no shortage of textbooks and materials, and there is a ready-made study room at home. Needless to say, Li Chujiu has also read it in the past few days. Both the first and second year students have read it carefully, and she thinks there is nothing difficult. If she has time, she can almost read it in the third year of high school.

For a long time, Li Chujiu has repeatedly surprised people. Grandpa Li is no stranger to it. He nodded calmly and said: "I will give you Ah Jiu's household registration book later. You can go to your Uncle Zhao. I just said that I will take care of this matter, if you come forward and don't let him take care of it, then he will make trouble again."

When it came to looking for his grandfather with a bad temper, Li Xingbang smiled and said: "Okay." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he said again: "Uncle Zhao will come to the house later, so Dad, please give Uncle Zhao the household registration book, lest I run away again." one trip."

Grandpa Li said: "That's fine, you don't have to worry about this matter. According to your Uncle Zhao's temperament, Ah Jiu will not be bullied when he goes to school."

Li Xingbang said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao is a protector."

Immediately, Li Chujiu also smiled shyly. The thing that worried Li Chujiu the most was settled, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She also faintly looked forward to the moment when she would return to school.She was originally admitted to the best high school in the county, and received the admission notice, but after she decided to study medicine with Grandpa Li, she never found the notice, knowing that it should be taken by the second sister or Xiaobao. let's go.

At that time, she panicked. To sign up, she had to ask for a household registration book. Once she asked her family to ask for it, they would definitely be suspicious.Fortunately, her favorite grandfather, because she was not favored since she was a child, said that her household registration was transferred to her own household registration book, and after her grandfather died, her household registration has not been changed.The moment she got the household registration book, she was really thankful that she had a grandfather who loved her, otherwise her road to school would be bumpy.

Now that everything was done by Grandpa Zhao, Li Xingbang also went out to work with Lin Yazhu, Aunt Zhang packed up and sent Li Linzhou to school, and Grandpa Li took Li Chujiu into the study to inspect the homework assigned yesterday.

Before lunch, Grandpa Zhao came to the house, and it looked like he was just stepping on a spot to grab a meal. Unfortunately, Grandpa Li made fun of those, but just said that Li Chujiu was going to school. After getting the household registration book, Grandpa Zhao solemnly promised that Things are done properly.

Because Grandpa Zhao is here, Li Chujiu is in charge of the lunch, and the combination of meat and vegetables is very good.Braised pork, pork trotters and red dates soup, steamed crucian carp, fried cabbage, homemade tofu, hot and sour potato shreds...

After a meal, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.After lunch, Grandpa Zhao took Grandpa Li to play chess, and Li Chujiu followed shopkeeper Li to the front to help decoct the medicine.Grandpa Li taught Li Chujiu. What he meant was that although Li Chujiu knew a lot, she still had to learn from the basics. Now she can only learn from Grandpa Li in the morning, and learn about various herbs in the afternoon. .

The consultation time of the Chinese medicine hall is gathered in the morning, so the morning is often the busiest time, but Grandpa Li doesn't let Li Chujiu go to the front to help, so he can only go to the front after lunch.At first Li Chujiu didn't understand it, but later she gradually realized it, probably because she was afraid that she would absorb too many and complicated things, which would be detrimental to her studies.

Grandpa Zhao stayed until after dinner before leaving, and told Li Chujiu that he would pick her up tomorrow to see school and let her have a good rest at night, because it was a sudden transfer, and an exam was inevitable.This also made Li Chujiu, who had been away from school for a long time and hadn't taken the exam for a long time, feel a little uneasy.

At night, Li Chujiu was lying on the bed, wanting to sleep but couldn't, so she slipped into the picture scroll, looking at this place where she lived for a hundred years, Li Chujiu was more relaxed.The picture scroll has been transformed by Li Chujiu, the most obvious thing is that she planted a lot of fruits and vegetables in it.

In her spare time these days, she has visited Ganghua more thoroughly. There are hot springs, clear pools, mountains and huts. It is a paradise.

There are animals here, but they are not afraid of Li Chujiu, and have never attacked Li Chujiu. Such harmony makes Li Chujiu even more happy.When Li Chujiu lived in sojourn before, this place was like spring all the year round. I don't know if it will be the same after she has a real body. She is full of expectations for the future changes of the picture scroll.

After coming out of the picture scroll, Li Chujiu no longer had those worries. Just as she was happy with the picture scroll, she was also happy to be able to re-enter the school. She was even more hopeful about the future.
