When he thought of the word "outsider", Xi Junjie felt sour in his heart. He silently calculated that there would be three years before graduation, and suddenly felt that the road to marrying a wife was too long.

    People from the old Li family watched Xi Junjie exit the door, and remained silent as a group. After about a minute or so, Meat Bun guessed that Xi Junjie had gone away, so he couldn't help asking Said: "Little aunt, how did you deceive people?"

    "What are you talking about?" Zhen Zhen stretched out her tender and tender fingers and stabbed Roubao's head: "We are in love, do you understand? Besides, he took the initiative to pursue me. "

     

    Looking at Meat Bun's obviously disbelieving eyes, Zhen Zhen pointed to the north: "If you don't believe me, ask your fourth uncle and fourth aunt."

    As soon as Ming Bei saw Li Muwu's eyes, he immediately waved his hand and shook his head: "Don't ask me, I don't know anything, and when I found out that they were dating, they had blatantly Hold hands."

    The family turned to Wang Xinwen again, although Wang Xinwen was confused and didn't understand, but she nodded firmly on the principle of not demolishing the platform: "Yes, Xi Junjie chases our family every day. Zhen Zhen." She seemed to think that this sentence was too frivolous, and she had to testify to be convincing, so Wang Xinwen added: "Every night after class, Xi Junjie is at the bottom of our dormitory waiting for each to bring hot water to Zhen Zhen. You don't know that when he comes, it can cause a commotion in the entire dormitory building, and those girls are all lying on the windows and staring at him, and sometimes they fight for a good position."

    Looking at Zhen Zhen, Rou Bao summed up with a heartache: "It turns out that all of you female students look at their faces."

    Zhen Zhen smiled and looked at the meat bun with sympathy: "Do you feel particularly desperate?"

    The meat bun touched his face, and for the first time he felt a little unconfident. Originally, he didn’t feel anything wrong among a group of rough old men, but after meeting Xi Junjie, the meat bun felt Compared with others, I have a little difference in length, body and voice, and my brain is not as good as others. Meat Bun can maintain the top five at most for three years in high school, and the first place is a bit difficult, but Xi Junjie is in Imperial College. Can take the first test, it is simply incomparable.

    Looking at Zhen Zhen's complacent look, Rou Baoxin added unwillingly: "My little uncle is good in everything, but his eyes are not very good, otherwise he will fall in love with you. what?"

    Zhen Zhen felt a handful of pine nuts and was about to throw them over, but Meat Bun smiled and hid behind the sweet-scented osmanthus: "Just kidding, those pine nuts are the pine cones I picked for you by myself. , it can't be wasted."

    Zhen Zhen crushed a few pine nuts with a "quack" sound, while throwing the pine nut skins into the trash, she smiled at the meat bun: "Wait for me to see you find one for me. What kind of niece-in-law."

    Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wang Sufen quickly led Osmanthus and Zhen Zhen to the kitchen to make dinner. Mingbei went to Xi Junjie's house next door to borrow a phone and called Mingxi, telling him that Mingdong and Mingnan were both here, and asked him to come back early after get off work at night. Right now, Mingxi doesn't have any experiments at hand, he only organizes materials in the office. When he gets off work, he rides his wife and children back to the courtyard with his wife and children.

    Wang Sufen led her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to busy with a table of dishes, and set the table full to the brim. Fortunately, the room in the kitchen was big enough that the whole family was not too crowded to sit down, but it was quite lively of.

    The table was covered with very thick towels, and Zhen Zhen put the handle of the casserole directly on the table with thick gloves.

      , Mingdong covered his stomach and swallowed: "I've been eating dry food on the train these days. When you come up with such a fragrant jar, I suddenly feel that my stomach is empty and my heart is panicked."

    Mingbei smelled the fragrance and didn't even want to say a word, so she went and moved a stack of small bowls and put them aside. Osmanthus saw that the soup in the bowl was thick and brown, so she couldn't help taking a sip of the soup first, only to see that the mellow soup was thick but not greasy, and her mouth was full of meaty fragrance. Picking up an abalone, osmanthus recognized it for a long time and didn't see what it was. After taking a bite, it was quite chewy, and the more delicious it was, the more fragrant it became. Nothing is the same.

      . Looking at Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, who had lost half of the jar, Zhen Zhen, the stingy Bala, only gave one spoonful: "You young and strong eat less, and keep the rest for my milk, my parents and my mother."

    Lady Li likes to drink a cup of wine when she eats, but today she can't even care about drinking wine, so she didn't stop eating, when she heard Zhen Zhen say that the rest is for herself , nodded in agreement: "I think so too, come on, Bo'er will serve another bowl of milk."

    "Good." Zhen Zhen saw that Mrs. Li likes to eat the sea cucumber and fish maw in it, so she specially filled her with more: "My milk is the best, I know what is good."

    Mr. Li squinted her eyes with a smile: "Anything is delicious, Zhen Zhen, you and Junjie also learn how to do this, and we will cook at home later."

    Zhen Zhen put a bowl of Buddha Jumping over the Wall and put it by Mrs. Li's hand: "It's not particularly difficult to stew this, the key is that the stuff in it is not easy to put together." Zhen Zhen pointed at Mrs. Li like holding a spoon Taikan: "Sea cucumber, abalone, fish maw, fish maw, turtle skirt, shark fin, fish lips... deer tendons, pork belly, lamb elbow... There are dozens of things to run on the mountains that swim in the sea, just buy these things. It's a lot of work."

      The in-laws also have to come and go.”

    Zhen Zhen took a sip of the soup and said, "Just tell Auntie Ling not to ask for it. It's almost New Year's Eve. I'll put ginseng in the New Year's gift, and it won't be eye-catching. "

    Mr. Li nodded, her face full of admiration: "My granddaughter has grown up and thinks more thoughtfully than me."

     

    Ming Dong sighed contentedly after drinking the soup in the bowl: "Zhen Zhen, your future mother-in-law's craftsmanship is really good."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Mingbei raised his head with a spare rib in his mouth, stretched out his chopsticks and pulled the bone down, swallowing the meat in a few mouthfuls: "Her mother-in-law? !" Every week, he can eat all kinds of snacks that his future brother-in-law bribes him, and from time to time, he can also have a delicious meal at home, Mingbei has become Xi Junjie's number one fan: "This is made by Xi Junjie, oh , you don't know, his craftsmanship is old, and the dishes he cooks are better than state banquets."

    Ming Nan burst out laughing: "It's like you had a state banquet."

    Ming Bei raised his head in dissatisfaction: "Even if you haven't eaten it, you can imagine that it is not as delicious as this one."

      Well, do you still have to be able to cook?"

    Zhen Zhen widened her eyes with a smile: "So you have to study hard when you finish the college entrance examination, otherwise there will be no girls who will miss you in college."

    "Oh, I learned it last winter." Meat Bun stuffed a mouthful of double-cooked pork into his mouth worriedly: "But my mother said that my shredded potatoes are thicker than fingers, and my fingers Stupid and toe-like, not that kind of stuff at all."

    "Then you're finished." Mingbei was wickedly happy: "It's hard to pursue girls in the imperial capital. If you don't have any skills, you can't designate them."

    "I'll decide to go to Bingcheng's university." Meat Bun looked at Ming Nan expectantly: "Third uncle, what do you think?"

    Ming Nan glanced at him with a smile: "Our Bingcheng girls don't have a good time to pursue."

    The meat bun looked desperate: "It's over, Dad, why don't we go back to Anbei to find a daughter-in-law."

    Ming Dong laughed angrily at him: "Are there any serious things in your mind other than looking for a daughter-in-law? I tell you, if you don't get into the university in God City next year, see how I deal with you. "

    The meat bun wilted all of a sudden, and after eating three bowls of rice with a sullen head, I regained my energy: "I thought about it just now, the university in Kaoru is also very good, at least it can There is a chance to eat the meal made by my little uncle." Then he stood up: "Tai Dai, grandpa, grandma, eat slowly, I want to go back to the house and read a book."

    "Go." Mrs. Li looked at him with a smile: "You haven't rested well on the train these days, don't stay up too late."

    "Hey!" Meat Bun responded, and then said another word to those present before leaving. Meat Bun went back to his room, and after opening the textbook, the smiling faces of Tian Zhen and Zhen Zhen disappeared, their faces were very serious and serious, and they quickly immersed themselves in the book.

    Zhen Zhen retracted her consciousness and asked Ming Dong with a smile, "Isn't the meat bun really serious about studying?"

    "Study is okay, but I am willing to endure hardships. I get up at 5 o'clock every morning to memorize the text, but when I do the questions, I have a bit of trouble. I didn't get the first place in several consecutive exams because of my carelessness." Ming Dong He said: "But you know the level of our family. It's not as difficult as the imperial capital. When I was in college, it was not as difficult as it is now. If you have time these days, you can make up for his homework or something."

     

    Zhen Zhen is an action-oriented person who does what she says she wants to do. After dinner, she returned to the house, she lit the lamp and stayed up until twelve o'clock to create a set of papers, and looked at her eyes with consciousness. In Bao's yard, I saw that the lights were still on, and I could still see the figure of Meat Bao studying from the window. Zhen Zhen put on the padded jacket, went to the kitchen to warm up the beef stew and steamed buns left over from the evening, and brought the meat buns over.

    "Bun, you haven't slept yet?" Zhen Zhen knocked on the door and asked softly. Meat Bun rubbed his eyes and stood up, opened the door and saw the midnight snack that Zhen Zhen was carrying, and immediately smiled: "It's better for my aunt, you know I'm hungry and help me to cook."

    Put the food on the table, Zhen Zhen took out a stack of white paper from her arms with a smile and handed it to him: "Is there something better for you?"

    "What is it?" The meat bun chewed the steamed bun in his mouth and asked vaguely. He reached out and took it, and the word "mathematics" came into view, and his mouth was frightened. The steamed buns stuck in his throat and couldn't go up and down, and he looked desperate as he choked.

    Zhen Zhen stretched out her hand to help him take pictures of the steamed buns, and kindly turned over the back papers for him: "There are also language, physics, chemistry, etc., you do well, wait for me at noon When you get up, you will be sentenced to a paper."

     Meat Bun looked at the clock on the wall, the time on it was half past twelve, and then looked at the thick rolls in his hand, Meat Bun was suddenly a little confused: "You are going to sleep By noon? After I finish so many questions before noon?"

    "Are you moved by the test paper I gave?" Zhen Zhen looked at him with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, this kind of test paper will appear often in the future. By the way, I will listen to your father You said that you often made mistakes in the exam because of carelessness. If this kind of problem occurs in my paper, one wrong question hangs upside down on a tree and does a hundred sit-ups."

    The steamed buns in the mouth of the meat bun fell and smashed into the bowl of stewed beef, Zhen Zhen stood up and patted his shoulder: "Enjoy your supper, boy, from tomorrow you may I don't have such a good appetite."

     Roubao looked at Zhen Zhen with a sad face: "Well, I don't think it's better for you to give Doubao a set of questions, he was only a freshman in high school and he was able to take the tenth test, he couldn't bear it. ."

    Zhen Zhen glanced at him with a half-smiling smile: "Don't worry, after you are freed, his good days will come."

    Seeing that Meat Bun had turned grief and anger into appetite, Zhen Zhen happily went back to the house and went to sleep.

    Since the holiday, Zhen Zhen seldom stayed up late, although she didn't sleep until noon the next morning, she didn't get up until around ten o'clock. After stretching, Zhen Zhen felt a sense of comfort all over her body. Sweeping around with consciousness, I saw Meatbao writing and writing at the table, Douban taking the two sons of Mingnan's family to do homework, Tangbao accompanying Mrs. Li to pick beans, and Mingbei's couple coaxing noodles. Build blocks.

    Seeing that there is nothing to do outside, Zhen Zhen didn't go out at all, she flashed into the space, cooked a bowl of noodles with the chicken soup boiled in the space, and then adjusted the temperature of the space to twenty Octave, half lying on a sun-drenched rocking chair in pajamas, reciting words. It was not until the sugar bag came over to ask Zhen Zhen to go to have lunch at noon, and Zhen Zhen returned to the bed in a flash.

    Zhen Zhen is not the kind of child who likes to slack off, no one talks about her occasionally sleeping late, after lunch, Zhen Zhen went to the meat bun house to read the test papers, the basics It's quite solid, but the two meat buns with traps are all hit. When Zhen Zhen used a red pen to mark the key points on the question, Meat Bun's face turned green. Before doing the question, she repeatedly reminded herself to read the question carefully, how could she forget it when she was in a hurry.

    "You blame yourself for not having a long memory, right?" Zhen Zhen looked at the meat bun with a smile: "It's okay, you will remember after you finish the sit-ups." I knew the answer by heart, so it only took less than an hour to complete all the test papers: "There are five questions wrong because of the review of the questions, and the other ones that I really can't do are not within the scope, five hundred lying on their backs. Sit down, are you going to finish it in a few days?"

    "Five days?" Meat Bun looked at her with a frown.

    "Okay." Zhen Zhen agreed very readily, "Anyway, we will take the next set of papers in five days."

    *****

    Tomorrow is Xi Junjie's grandmother's birthday, Xi Junjie thought about discussing the time to go out with Zhen Zhen, but he was mysteriously led by Ming Bei into the garden as soon as he entered the gate.

    The thinnest trees in the garden are over a hundred years old, and they are all towering. Xi Junjie was wondering why Ming Bei led him here in the winter when he heard a trembling voice shouting: "Fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty..."

    Following the voice, Xi Junjie saw Zhen Zhen sitting on a tall tree, with a man hanging upside down on a sturdy tree branch beside him, sitting on his back while crying and urinating Howling count.

    Xi Junjie's frightened face turned green, he hugged the tree and raised his neck and shouted, "Zhen Zhen, come down quickly, falling down is not a joke."

    The meat bun hanging on the tree was about to cry: "Little uncle, what are you looking at, didn't you realize that it was me who fell easily?"

    Although I didn't recognize who was hanging on the tree, this "little uncle" called Xi Junjie refreshed: "Then be careful when you do sit-ups, do not Don't fall off."

    The meat bun couldn't hold back and was almost cried by Xi Junjie's words, Zhen Zhen sat on the tree and rejoiced, insisting on waiting for the 100 meat buns to be made before reaching out and dragging him came up. Seeing these aunts and nephews doing such dangerous actions on a tree three or four meters high, Xi Junjie suddenly felt that his soul was scared to fly.

    Crawled down with the tree trunk for a while, seeing that there was still less than two meters away from the ground, Zhen Zhen turned over with a relaxed scorpion, fell from the tree and landed on Xi Junjie's In front, there was no sound at all.

    Turn around, Zhen Zhen realized that Xi Junjie's face was pale and then realized that he might be a little scared, she smiled and took Xi Junjie's hand and shook it gently: "You know my hometown is in the mountains Well, I have been climbing up and down like this since I was a child, in fact, this is not dangerous for me at all."

    Xi Junjie stretched out his hand and pulled Zhen Zhen around his arms, hugging him tightly: "But I look at you like you are about to fall."

    Feeling Xi Junjie's body trembling with fear, Zhen Zhen hugged his back and rubbed her little face in his arms: "It's alright, it's alright."

    The meat bun is still crawling down, and it is so easy to touch the ground with his feet, and when he turns around, he sees two people hugging each other tightly, his legs soften and he sits under the tree. .

    Mingbei shook his head and pulled him up: "It's only been a few years, and your legs are weak after doing a hundred sit-ups? You're too lack of exercise."

    "I was frightened by them." Roubao pointed at Zhen Zhen and didn't dare to speak loudly: "Aren't they afraid of letting my grandfather see their legs?"

    Mingbei touched his chin and said very pertinently: "You're fine, as for Xi Junjie, it's hard to say."

    As soon as they finished speaking, they saw Zhen Zhen suddenly raised her head and put her arms around Xi Junjie's neck, for this familiar gesture, Ming Bei instantly understood what Zhen Zhen wanted to do, while he He tightly covered the meat bun's eyes, and nervously opened his eyes wide to see the follow-up actions of the two.

    Fortunately, Zhen Zhen was worried about someone beside her, so she just kissed Xi Junjie on the mouth gently, and then let go: "Do you think your soul is coming back now?"

    Not waiting for Xi Junjie to answer, Ming Bei hummed with a wry smile and said, "You two have returned, but my soul was scared away by you."

    The meat buns pulled Ming Bei's hand off his eyes, looking at the three people with different expressions, a little confused.

    ***

    On the 80th birthday of Xi Junjie's grandmother, Zhen Zhen wore a knee-length woolen skirt and a woolen coat that reached her calf. Because there were no leggings in this era, Zhen Zhen could only use trousers for bottoming, with a pair of small wrist-length leather boots bought from the store. This outfit is not outdated in the future, let alone now.

    The birthday gift that Zhen Zhen prepared for the grandmother of the Xi family was a painting of "Turtle, Crane and Peony", a 100-year-old ginseng tree and a 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, all of which are good things to celebrate the birthday.

    The car stopped at the door of Zhen Zhen's house at nine o'clock on time, Zhen Zhen was holding the painting in one hand and the ginseng box in the other, Mingbei helped her to take out the ganoderma wrapped in red cloth .

    This Ganoderma lucidum was specially cultivated by Zhen Zhenhui on Beicha Mountain. First, I found a Ganoderma lucidum the size of a fist, covered the circular mold with the character Shou, and instantly ripened it and grew bigger , did not stop growing until the mold was full, and when the mold was taken off, the characters of Shou were still too clear and obvious, Zhen Zhen pulled the Lingzhi bigger, not only the lines were more natural, but also the characters for Shou. is naturally formed.

    Xi Junjie helped Zhen Zhen tidy things up, and then helped Zhen Zhen into the car.

    The imperial capital of this era was not as big as later generations, especially those with some status in the family, who basically lived not too far away. After driving for about ten minutes, the car arrived at the gate of a courtyard house. Looking at several cars parked at the gate, and the faint voices coming from inside, I could guess that a lot of people had come.

    Seems to be afraid of Zhen Zhen's nervousness, Xi Junjie squeezed her fingers deliberately when helping Zhen Zhen get off the car, and said softly, "Don't worry, everything is up to me."
