sleepless tonight

Chapter 87 Ginger Soup
"Wait a little longer." I don't want to live with Tong Wangjun.

I looked at my phone and stretched my neck to look on both sides of the road.

There are more than a dozen taxis around, but after going around and around, there is no taxi that takes the order.

Neither is the ride.

At this moment, I had a strong idea of ​​buying a car again.

If you have your own car, why bother?As soon as the luggage was put away, the person got into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and left.

You don't have to be cold, you don't have to pay to be cheated, and you still have to smile.

Chen Ke and Chen Le won't shrink their heads from the cold.

"No car." Tong Wangjun said again.

"It shows that there are more than ten cars nearby, and if you wait a little longer, there will definitely be cars coming." I insisted, and I was very stubborn.

Tong Wangjun hugged Chen Le: "Ake, let's go back."

"Father..." Chen Ke pulled me down.

Chen Ke's face turned from red to white, her hair was disheveled, and her nose was red. I touched her hand and said, "Follow mom back home."

"What about you?" Chen Ke looked at me.

"I'll go with you." With so much luggage, Tong Wangjun hugged Chen Le and left first, I couldn't leave things alone.

Chen Ke laughed excitedly, carried two plastic bags, and walked in front, looking back at me from time to time.

I dragged my big and small bags, walked slowly behind, and got on the elevator. Tong Wangjun had already gone up first, and Chen Ke pressed the floor for me.

The door was open, and there was a TV in the room. Chen Le sat quietly on the sofa watching the bears come and go, laughing from time to time.

"Ake, close the door." After entering the room, it became warm immediately, and I put all my things by the door.

Tong Wangjun was in the kitchen, I didn't know what to do, I walked in: "I'm not hungry, I don't need to make food."

"Who will cook for you, I'm making ginger soup." Tong Wangjun said angrily, "Cut some ginger and bring it out."

"Where is the ginger?" I looked around, but couldn't find where the ginger was stored.

"In the refrigerator." Tong Wangjun said.

The ginger should be bought from the supermarket. After washing, the skin is incomplete. I washed it and cut the ginger into thumb-sized pieces.

Tong Wangjun glanced at it: "How can that be enough? Get some more."

"Too much tastes good, A Ke and Xiao Le may not be able to drink it." I said.

Most children are not used to the smell of ginger, Chen Ke is fine, Chen Le is only over one year old, less than two years old, and he can't speak very well, if she puts too much ginger, she will boil it for nothing if she doesn't drink it.

"There was a cold wind, and the snot came out. It was frozen like this. If I didn't drink ginger soup, I caught a cold and was sent to the hospital? Wouldn't it be good to have frequent injections?" Tong Wangjun was a little angry.

I didn't want to make a fuss, so I cut off half of the ginger and cut it into slices.

"I don't even know how to cut ginger. It's better to shred it." Tong Wangjun finished his work, pushed me away, picked up a kitchen knife and shredded the sliced ​​ginger.

"Silk is too thin, easy to eat into the mouth." I reminded.

"Go out, don't get in the way in the kitchen, you can't help me with anything." Tong Wangjun became impatient with me.

I was a little speechless, walked out of the kitchen silently, and sat beside Chen Le.

"A Ke, stop doing your homework, come here to warm up your hands, and watch some TV." Chen Ke dug out her homework again and started to do it on the stool. I called her.

Being so serious makes people feel distressed, only eight years old.

"Mom said that I should finish my homework earlier, and I have to do five pages of exercises a day, and I still have one page left." Chen Ke said.

"Don't listen to her, it's so late, what else to do, don't do it, do it during the day." I said.

Tong Wangjun came out with two bowls of ginger soup in his hand: "Today's business is over, don't spoil the child. Ake, come and drink ginger soup."

Sitting on the sofa, I could feel a strong smell of ginger, and I glanced at the ginger soup that Tong Wangjun made.

It's dark, with a layer of oil, not only smells bad, but also ugly, which makes people lose their appetite at all.

"Mom, I don't have a cold, can I not drink it?" Chen Ke put down his homework and ran to the table, looked at the things in the bowl, a little scared.

The originally excited expression suddenly turned into panic.

"You have a runny nose, why don't you drink it?" Tong Wangjun disagreed, "The big bowl is yours, drink it while it's hot."

"Father has a cold too." Chen Ke looked at Jiang Tang with a little fear.

"Leave him alone." Tong Wangjun picked up Chen Le, without even looking at me.

Chen Le was fascinated by watching TV and didn't listen to instructions. I said, "Let him watch it for a while. The ginger soup is still hot. Let's drink it when it cools down. Did you put oil in your ginger soup?"

"Isn't there no smell if you don't put oil?" Tong Wangjun said as a matter of course.

"It's oily, how can I drink it? The ginger is also mushy." I said.

"The ginger is fried with oil, how do you eat it raw?" Tong Wangjun took the remote control and turned off the TV, "Ake, don't stand up, sit on a chair to eat, if it's too hot, take a breath and drink slowly."

Without the TV, Chen Le began to cry.

Tong Wangjun coaxed Chen Le, and Chen Ke looked at me begging for help: "Father."

I know what Chen Ke means, not to mention her, I feel afraid when I see such ginger soup.

"Finish all." Tong Wangjun seemed to understand the purpose of Chen Ke's sudden call to me, and sternly reprimanded him.

Chen Ke didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Come on, Daddy will give you a taste to see if it's hot." I walked over and picked up the ginger soup on the table.

He took a breath and took a sip: "It's a little hot."

I took a few more sips carefully, and then gave the remaining half bowl of ginger soup to Chen Ke: "Drink it."

Chen Ke took a sip of ginger soup and said, "It's so hard to drink."

While talking, Chen Ke was still spitting out burnt shredded ginger.

I glanced at Tong Wangjun, and Tong Wangjun's face was not very good-looking.

"There should be an egg in it, so it will taste better." I suggested.

"Then why don't you get it? You know what to say now." Tong Wangjun seemed unable to lose face, and ordered me, "Bring over the bowl of ginger soup on the table and give it to Xiaole."

I took it over and put it in Tong Wangjun's hands.

"She doesn't necessarily know how to drink." I said.

Chen Le is still young, not as sensible as Chen Ke, and he definitely won't drink what he doesn't like.

The ginger soup tastes so strong, it's no wonder she can drink it.

"Don't talk about it on the sidelines, the more you talk about it, the less she will drink. You are used to both daughters, and you don't know how to teach them at all." Tong Wangjun thinks that I have not educated the children well.

Tong Wangjun brought the ginger soup in his hand to Chen Le's mouth: "Hey, take a sip."

Chen Le didn't show any face at all, he tilted his head back with a disgusted expression on his face.

I laughed.

Tong Wangjun glanced at me, and coaxed Chen Le again: "Come on, you won't catch a cold after drinking it. Be obedient, your nose will runny. Drink this bowl of ginger soup."

Chen Le waved his hand and almost knocked over the ginger soup in Tong Wangjun's hand.

"Forget it, don't drink if you don't drink." I persuaded.

"Don't talk." Tong Wangjun yelled at me, put down the ginger soup, and slapped Chen Le's buttocks twice, "If you are not obedient, mother will not want you."

The clothes Chen Le was wearing were very thick, and the two slaps were loud, but they were all hitting the clothes, but Chen Le still cried with his mouth puckered.

Howling.

Although the two-year-old child is still young, he can still feel the yelling and scolding. When Tong Wangjun is ruthless, Chen Le burst into tears.

"Drink." Tong Wangjun put the bowl in front of Chen Le again.

Chen Le cried and took a sip, and Tong Wangjun heaved a sigh of relief, but before he could be happy, Chen Le stuck out his tongue, and all the ginger soup in his mouth spit out.

"I'll come, I'll coax her, the ginger soup is really too bad, why don't you try drinking it yourself?" I was afraid that Tong Wangjun would get angry, so I hurriedly snatched Chen Le, hugged and coaxed her.

Tong Wangjun cleaned up the mess on the ground.

After a while, Tong Wangjun sat on the sofa, stared at the remaining half bowl of ginger soup, and finally took a sip: "It's not bad."

I smiled, Tong Wangjun's brows almost turned upside down, it's not bad to drink.

"Hold Xiao Le, I'll make ginger soup." I handed Chen Le, who was not crying, to Tong Wangjun.

I didn't shred the ginger into slices. After adding water to boil, I beat a soaked egg into it, and then served it out.

Half-coaxed and half-threatened, Chen Le drank the ginger soup, hugged Chen Le around the living room for a while, Chen Le narrowed his eyes, and fell asleep in my arms.

"How do you sleep?" I asked Tong Wangjun.

"Hold me to my room." Tong Wangjun said, "I'll wash Chen Ke."

I nodded, went into Tong Wangjun's bedroom, took off Chen Le's coat, carefully stuffed it into the bed, tucked in the quilt, and stayed by the side.

Seeing that Chen Le was really asleep, I came out.

"A Ke, you go to bed." Chen Ke had already washed up, Tong Wangjun said.

"I want to sleep with Dad." Chen Ke said.
