Chapter 532: Counterattack! loser! (6)
“Xu Yin!”
Just as he was about to leave the community, a greeting came from behind him.
Xu Yin turned around and recognized Teacher Fu who had visited her vegetable stall yesterday. The girl who called her just now was the girl next to Teacher Fu. She must be Teacher Fu's daughter - the original heroine Liang Yuqing.
“Hi.” She greeted back and said good morning to Teacher Fu.
Today she tidied up her hair, gave it a small hairdo, and put a hairpin on her bangs on her forehead, which was refreshing and cute.
Yesterday, I also changed into a pair of jeans with two holes cut at the knees. I wore a pair of artificial cotton anti-mosquito pants that Xu Wanping bought at a street stall. The upper body was a light pink T-shirt with an ice cream cone pattern printed on it - also made by Xu Wanping. Got it from a street stall.
I have always thought that girls like pink, so when I pass by street stalls or clearance stores, I see that the clothes worn by little girls are cheap and the fabrics are not very bad, so I will buy two more. She herself has been wearing outdated clothes from a few years ago.
A pink printed T-shirt and floral anti-mosquito pants with a white background. I was reluctant to wear this outfit when I went out. It felt earthy and childish, so I would rather wear thick jeans.
Xu Yin also had a toothache about this outfit, but compared to the thick jeans with two holes and the black shirt decorated with metal, she would have preferred pink T-anti-mosquito pants, which at least would keep her cool.
Fu Yanan felt that Xu Yin looked much better dressed like this than the little girl she wore before. At least she looked like a sixteen-year-old girl next door.
She smiled and nodded to Xu Yin: "Good morning. You and Qingqing can chat for a while, and I'll go drive."
After Liang Yuqing waited for her mother to leave, she took out a stack of bound A4 paper notes from her schoolbag: "Xu Yin, these are the preview materials I compiled last night for you."
Xu Yin was a little confused: "Why give it to me?"
“The content taught by the cram school teacher is quite simple and easy to understand. You can just read it as an extracurricular book when you are free.”
Xu Yin: “…”
Who likes to translate class notes from Chinese, Mathematics and English as extracurricular books?
Liang Yuqing hurried to class in the east of the city. Seeing that her mother had already reversed the car and pressed the horn a few times to urge her, she quickly pushed the materials into Xu Yin's hands and waved to her: "Goodbye."
Xu Yin: “…Thank you!”
“You’re welcome! Just treat me to your lettuce again later!”
…”
Xu Yin raised her eyebrows and looked down at a stack of more than ten pages of handwritten notes in her hand, feeling a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.
Alright, when I accompany Ms. Xu out to the stall in the evening, if I meet Teacher Fu, give her another handful of lettuce... No! Two handfuls!
Xu Yin got familiar with the environment around the rental house, found out about the agricultural supplies store that sold seeds, and took the bus there.
The yard of the rented house has been abandoned, with no flowers or vegetables planted. She plans to make use of it.
She has plenty of seeds on hand, but she can't conjure them out of thin air.
Since her own pocket money was limited, Xu Yin didn’t buy much and picked out a few vegetables and melon seeds that were suitable for growing nowadays.
These days, more and more young people like to grow vegetables. The salesperson at the agricultural supplies store is not surprised at all. She will pack whatever seeds Xu Yin wants.
“Why don’t you bring some fertilizer back?” The salesperson was diligently selling a brand-name fertilizer on the container, and he probably got a commission.
Xu Yin shook her head: "No."
She plans to prepare a new type of fertilizer herself, which is environmentally friendly and healthy.
“Where are the pesticides? You don’t even bring a bottle? If you grow leafy vegetables in the summer without spraying pesticides, you will get almost nothing, and all the hard-earned crops will be eaten by insects.”
“I choose vegetables that are not prone to insects.”
…”
The salesperson's face became very long when she saw that she only bought a few packets of seeds and nothing else.
Xu Yin didn’t care either. She paid the money, took the seeds and left.
When she arrived, the bookstore had just opened. She went to the middle school and college entrance examination teaching assistant area and picked out a few books to read.
I was shy and had no money to buy it home, so I had to squat in the bookstore and read it.
Fortunately, the syllabus of this small world is very different from what she learned in the past. Although she has experienced several small worlds and has forgotten many of them, she can still recall them at a glance. After reading a book with great concentration, I looked up at the big clock in the bookstore and found that it was already ten o'clock, so I hurried home.
Xu Wanping has returned from closing her stall and brought back two fish.
“Yinyin, how about braised one in braise at noon and stewed in soup at night?”
"Okay. I'll cook. Mom, go and take a rest." Xu Yin washed her hands and started cooking.
Xu Wanping was very surprised: "Aren't you most afraid of frying fish? I'd better do it."
"What's so scary about frying fish? I was just lazy in the past." Xu Yin gently pushed Ms. Xu out of the kitchen, "Mom, please help me this time. If I don't fry fish well, I'll do it next time." It’s up to you to do it.”
“Then be careful.” Xu Wanping warned uneasily.
"calm down!"
Cook rice in a rice cooker, fry fish in a wok, cook tomato and mustard soup in a soup pot, add a cucumber and mix in a piece of lettuce, and you can easily make one meat, two vegetarian and one soup.
After Xu Wanping took a shower, she washed her clothes and hung them out to dry. When she returned home, she saw that her daughter had already prepared the food and served it on the table.
This speed was faster than when she was rushing to go to the stall.
“Mom, try the fish I cooked.”
"Why."
Xu Wanping took a bite and opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Is this sweet and sour fish? It's delicious! It's delicious!"
"Is it delicious?" Xu Yin showed a sullen expression, "I'll take care of all the food at home from now on!"
Xu Wanping was moved and pleased: "Yin Yin has really grown up!"
“Ahem, I have grown up a long time ago.” Xu Yin looked pale and gave Ms. Xu a chopstick of fish belly. “Eat quickly, Mom, and go get some sleep after eating.”
“Hey, you eat too.”
The two women finished lunch happily, worked together to clean up the dining table and kitchen, and went back to their respective rooms to take a nap.
After sleeping until 3:30, Xu Wanping got up as soon as the alarm clock rang, preparing to wash rice for dinner.
She leaves the stall at 4:30, and returns from the stall at seven or eight o'clock. Therefore, she always prepares dinner before leaving the stall, and her daughter eats it first. She waits until she returns from the stall to eat. This has been the case for the past seven or eight years.
I didn’t expect that there would be something ready to eat when I woke up today.
But it’s not rice, it’s mung bean soup.
“Mom, when I went out for a walk in the morning, I weighed two kilograms of mung beans and came back. I drink mung bean soup to relieve the heat in the summer. Let’s drink a bowl to cushion our stomachs. When I come back from the stall, I will make cold noodles for you.”
Xu Wanping thought her daughter wanted to drink mung bean soup, so she naturally had no objection.
Xu Yin soaked a handful of mung beans before taking a nap and cooked them regularly, so she could drink them when she woke up. She also secretly put a few ice cubes containing spiritual dew water in the mung beans, so it didn't burn her mouth at all.
The couple were drinking mung bean soup leisurely when there was a knock on the door.
“Mom, you eat, I’ll open the door.”
“Xu Yin!”
As soon as the door opened, Lu Yunran's pretty and grateful face was revealed.
Behind her are her parents, with their hands full of things and a banner.
Out of the corner of my eye: Act bravely when seeing justice, and be kind and rekindled.
Xu Yin: “…”
This is not necessary!
