Chapter 189 Poor Niuniu
"In this case, why don't you accept my kindness. She treats you well, and I want to treat her well!" Kou Xi stepped forward and took Huo An's arm: "Could it be."

"She is afraid that the child will get used to candy, and she will spend money to buy it in the future." Huo An sighed: "The salary of Battalion Commander Gao is not low, but he still has to support his son and his mother. Aunt Gao is in poor health and takes medicine all year round. The child is so young. I still have to support him to study. What Aunt Gao thinks is that she must marry a daughter-in-law in the future. She has no family background and no bride price and still brings this son, afraid that he will not find a good one!"

Poor parents!
Kou Xi nodded: "I know, I will pay more attention in the future!" She leaned on Huo An's body: "It's still like a dream, it feels so unreal!"

"Life is just a dream!" Huo An seldom said a few convulsive words, Kou Xi raised his face to look at Huo An's not-so-handsome but resolute face: "I really want to be with you forever!"

"We would have been together forever!" Huo An took it for granted.

"I'm going to help the aunt cook!" Kou Xi said with a smile as if he had been poked into a sore spot, gently pushed Huo An away.

"Help me organize my things!" There was nothing in the room, only a small kang that could only sleep two people.A plank bed was built underneath, and against the wall was a double-door cabinet.There are two chairs under the windowsill on the floor, but nothing else.

The yard is quite big, and the vegetable garden behind the house is a vegetable field that the soldiers helped to open up after Mrs. Gao came.The surrounding mud walls are also built by everyone!The vegetables in the front and back vegetable gardens were also planted by everyone. Commander Gao would water them when he came back when he had time, and tried not to let the old lady do farm work as much as possible.

This is a not-so-big two-room house, and the house on the east side is larger.The layout is similar to that of my hometown. As soon as you enter, you will find a square kitchen with a kang connected to the pot.The kang is too hot in summer, so there is a big plank bed underneath.There is a black and white TV set on the old-fashioned cabinet next to it, and there is a radio next to it.The walls inside the house are all pasted with newspapers, and if the weather is cloudy, the whole room looks dark.There is also a small room next to the kitchen, and there are no people living in it and a lot of sundries are piled up.

Aunt Gao was cooking in the kitchen at this time, and Kou Xi walked in after washing her hands at the pressurized well.Seeing that she had already stewed beans in the pot, she raised her head and smiled when she heard footsteps: "I make corn flour pancakes, stewed beans. Do you think it will work?"

Kou Xi nodded: "It couldn't be better, these two days on the train I was thinking about the smell of beans."

She rolled up her sleeves and said with a smile, "Ma'am, let me do it."

"No, no!" Aunt Gao covered the pot with her body: "I'm about to finish this, don't touch your hands!"

Kou Xi smiled and said: "You see, you always tell me not to be polite, and you still talk to me!"

She pointed to the outside: "You can just watch over the children. I also cook at home every day. I have no problem with these tasks!"

"Are you still working?" Aunt Gao looked at Kou Xi in disbelief: "You still work, you skinny and tender?"

"They are all rural children, why don't they work?" Kou Xi said with a smile: "I live with my in-laws, and I can do without work!"

Aunt Gao smiled and nodded: "You can do it, kid!" She gave way to Kou Xi: "Let me see how you are doing!"

Kou Xi picked out a piece of corn noodles from the aluminum basin, and tossed his left and right hands back and forth twice, turning the corn noodles into pancakes the size of a palm.Then buckle it firmly on the wall of the cauldron, and buckle it in a circle in three to two minutes.The bottom is stewed potatoes with beans, and the side is pot stickers and corn flour pancakes.

She knelt down to burn firewood, and after a while, steam came out of the cauldron.

Aunt Gao nodded again and again: "Okay, that's great. You really know how to cook. Judging by your posture, you are always a cook. You are so agile!"

She nodded repeatedly and kept praising, Kou Xi looked at the fire and almost stood up.She smiled and said, "Ma'am, can I go to the garden to see if there is anything else?"

"All right, all right!" Mrs. Gao smiled and waved her hand: "You can do whatever you want, our vegetable field is too big, and our mother and I can't eat it at all."

Kou Xi picked three cucumbers with small yellow flowers in the vegetable garden. They were fresh and tender, and the thorns were still prickly.I picked two more small red peppers, two big green peppers, and a few cilantro.

Aunt Gao sat on the threshold and watched Kou Xi cook, she cleaned the dishes quickly.Pick up the kitchen knife and slap the cucumber into pieces, and put it into a large enamel bowl.

Then I went to the cupboard to look for seasonings, and found that there was nothing in the house except salt.She came out and called Huo An next door: "Huo An!"

Ever since she blurted out to call out her husband, everyone in the Huo family, including Huo An himself, felt uncomfortable, so she felt embarrassed to call out again.He could only call him by his first name, and Huo An responded, "What's wrong?"

"Go get some vinegar and soy sauce. If you have chili noodles, you can buy some. If you don't have any, forget it. If you have monosodium glutamate, you can also buy some." Kou Xi looked at Huo An: "Is there a place that sells things here?"

"There is a canteen in front, these should be available!" He went back to the house to get the money and took out the five packs of dried noodles: "Put this in the kitchen, let's eat together!"

Aunt Gao hurried over to stop Huo An: "You don't need to buy it, you really don't need to buy it. There is salt at home, so you can eat everything the same, so don't be so particular about it!"

Huo An declined with a smile and said: "Ma'am, Niu Niu is growing up, and it doesn't take much to eat oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Besides, we eat more than you, so you just follow us. We don't want to eat your food. Give me the money!"

"No money, no money!" Aunt Gao waved her hands again and again, with a nervous expression: "I don't want money, you can eat whatever you want!" She said shyly: "The rent you gave is enough, I know you take care of us. Really No need!"

Huo An said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law cooks delicious food, let her nourish Niu Niu while she is doing it!"

Aunt Gao looked at the back of Huo An running out, and then looked back at Kou Xi who was humming and cooking in full swing.Look at the naive grandson who is still playing in the mud, wiping away tears bitterly: "It's great to have a mother by my side."

"Eldest grandson, what are you going to do in the future!" Mrs. Gao wiped her tears away from her grandson, but the tears gushed out like they couldn't stop.She could only quickly hide in the house, covering her face with a towel so that no one could hear her crying and no one could see her red and swollen eyelids.

Kou Xi originally wanted to make a tiger dish, using small peppers, red peppers and coriander, mixed with soy sauce and served with rice.Later, thinking that Niuniu, who was three or four years old, would definitely not be able to eat it, I took a cucumber for him.

"Oh, three dishes!" Kou Xi tilted his head and exclaimed, "This is impossible!"

She went into the yard again and came back with four eggplants.Huo An has a big appetite, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to finish these dishes.

She looked at Huo An, who was carrying oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. One stood at the gate and the other stood at the kitchen door, looking at each other and smiling!
