"Yes, yes, yes." Zhou Qian'an immediately raised his hands in surrender, stood up and went out to wash his hands.

Seeing this, Shi Chunlan glanced at He Jing several times, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Jingjing, you can be a little more unrestrained here."

"If you were in the Zhou family, you'd better restrain yourself a little." Shi Chunlan felt that He Jing's attitude and tone just now were a bit strict, as if she was making a request to Zhou Qian'an.

If Chen Fanglan saw this, she would probably feel uncomfortable.

He Jing frowned, not really understanding what Shi Chunlan meant, "Mom, why?"

She felt that there was nothing wrong with her tone just now.

If you use your hands to wrap rice dumplings after touching other things, your hands will not be clean.

He Jing has high requirements for the food that goes into her stomach, and it is also for everyone's good.

Shi Chunlan understood what she meant. "I just want you to be less harsh."

"It is only at this moment that Qi'an is interested in you, can tolerate you, and is willing to indulge you."

"But what happens over time?" Shi Chunlan told her as someone who had experienced it, "Let me tell you, when people are alive, there is no rule that one person must give in to another."

He Jing pursed her lips and remained silent.

After a while, Zhou Qian came back.

As soon as he sat down, he sensitively felt that the atmosphere was not right, but he didn't know what had happened. He observed for a few seconds without making a sound and took the initiative to open a new conversation.

"Today, before my mother left, she told me that the rice dumplings made by Aunt Shi were delicious, and asked me to go to her house and ask for two." Zhou Qian said with a smile.

Shi Chunlan followed this step and did not continue the previous topic. Besides, since Zhou Qian'an had returned, there was no need to continue.

"Your mother, she just wants what I make." Shi Chunlan said, "Little do you know, your mother is very good at making fried noodles."

Chen Fanglan is not a real southerner. According to her ancestors, she is from the north, and a long time ago.

Later, for some unknown reason, the whole family ran to the south, and later, they followed Zhou Qian'an's father to Hekou Village.

I have been to many places in my life.

The villagers still mentioned it when they were chatting.

But I have talked less these days.

Shi Chunlan glanced at Zhou Qian'an and thought that the child had grown up and it was time for him to take a rest. There was no need to keep up appearances all the time.

Thinking of this, Shi Chunlan couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"How could that be possible?" Zhou Qian shook his head in denial.

He Jing was a little surprised. She didn't know what happened, so she asked curiously, "What kind of pastry did you fry?"

"It seems to be sugar triangle?" Shi Chunlan was not very sure.

Zhou Qian shook his head and denied it. "It's a sugar-coated pancake."

After saying this, Zhou Qian'an recalled that he had only eaten it once in all these years.

Because the preparation of sugar-coated oil cakes requires a lot of ingredients.

In a small place like Hekou Village, with the Zhou family's conditions, it would be very expensive to do it once.

Shi Chunlan remembered and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's called sugar-coated pancake."

"It's really delicious, crispy and sweet." When Shi Chunlan thought about it, saliva naturally began to secrete from her mouth, as if she could recall the taste of that time.

He Jing thought about it carefully and said, "It's not difficult to make sugar-coated pancakes. I can make them too."

"Mom, do we have sugar at home now?" He Jing asked.

Shi Chunlan nodded, "Yes, there are, but not many."

"But we don't have flour at home," said Shi Chunlan.

Zhou Qian pursed his lips and said, "Dragon Boat Festival, who eats sugar-coated cakes? They must eat rice dumplings."

"We don't have to do it now, we can do it tomorrow." He Jing said.

Zhou Qian still disagreed. He said that making sugar-coated oil cakes required a lot of oil and it was not worth eating it just once.

The most important thing is that I get very irritated.

Shi Chunlan saw that the two of them had different opinions, so she stopped talking and said, "Let's not do it now. Let's wait until the New Year when we have some lard stored at home and fry them together."

He Jing lowered her eyes. She almost forgot that at this time, they were still short of food and clothing.

Fried foods are rarely eaten.

"Yeah." Rather than saying that He Jing gave in, it would be better to say that she compromised.

"The eggs are pickled today." He Jing took the initiative to change the subject, "Wait a minute, take a few back."

There weren't many pickled eggs to begin with, and after each family member got one, there weren't many left.

It would be just right to let Zhou Qian'an take two back.

Shi Chunlan had no objection to this. After all, her family had eaten the river fish sent by Zhou Qian several times. "Yes, and sour beans. We have made them too."

"Take a bowl back later." These sour beans are delicious with rice or porridge.

Especially in the hot summer, eating something sour and spicy can stimulate the appetite.

Zhou Qian agreed readily.

The rice dumplings are wrapped, and the rest is the man’s job.

He Jing got some pickled eggs from the kitchen and filled a large bowl of sour beans, and put them all in the basket so that Zhou Qian could take them back without being seen by others and asking questions.

Zhou Qi'an took his things and was about to go back. He stood at the door and asked, "Are you really not going out for a walk?"

"The town will be busy today."

He Jing looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, but there was still a dark cloud floating over.

It should be afternoon.

Shi Chunlan also said that there will be dragon boat races during this period.

"It's inconvenient when it rains." He Jing shook her head and refused.

Zhou Qi'an looked at the sky and said with certainty, "Not now, do you want to go out for a walk?"

"I'll borrow your bike. It's very fast." Zhou Qian really wanted to go out for a walk with He Jing.

He Jing lowered her head and thought for a while, "Then I'll go back and change my clothes."

After being busy making rice dumplings at home for half a day, my back was already soaked with sweat.

He Jing didn't want to wear such clothes out.

When Zhou Qi'an saw that she agreed, he immediately smiled and said, "Well, I'll wait for you."

He Jing went back. Shi Chunlan saw that Zhou Qi'an had not left, so she asked casually, "Are you going out to play?"

"Okay, I'll be back soon." He Jing did not deny it. She entered the room and closed the door.

Shi Chunlan leaned over and took a look, "Braid your hair, too, it will look nice."

"Yeah." He Jing quickly changed her clothes, put on a clean and tidy shirt, and braided her hair into a single pigtail, letting it hang on her shoulders.

The pigtails are not braided tightly, but are deliberately loosened with a few strands of hair pulled out.

Very natural, very relaxed, very leisurely.

When He Jing went out, Zhou Qi'an saw her, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously licked his lips, "She looks very beautiful."

"It's not ready yet." He Jing looked outside and soon found wild daisies, which were yellow and small.

I picked a few and put them in my braids.

She smiled faintly and asked, "Does it look good?"

The black hair is long and hanging down.

A bright smile.

"It looks good!" Zhou Qian said without hesitation.

The flowers are beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful.

He could hardly take his eyes away.

Inside the house, Shi Chunlan saw this and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

He Zhiqiang, who came out of the kitchen, saw this and quickly shifted his gaze from He Jing to Shi Chunlan's features. "Our daughter has 80% to 90% of your demeanor back then."

Shi Chunlan glanced over coquettishly, "Who said that?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that He Jing is well taken care of and is even more beautiful than she was back then.

If such a beautiful girl had been raised by my side since childhood, she would definitely not be so smart.

The accident of two children being taken away by mistake, until now, Shi Chunlan, looking at the bright and charming He Jing in front of her, is not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
