【142】 Morning Visitor

After finishing the meal, the monitor drove me away and didn't even agree that I would help her wash the dishes.

When I was putting on my shoes in the hall with my shoulder bag on my back, the monitor crossed his arms in front of his chest and tapped the inside of his arm impatiently with the index finger of his left hand.

"Would you treat helping Xiaozhe improve his sports performance as a serious matter?"

"Of course, what I promised will not fall on deaf ears."

Because I used the wrong words, the monitor frowned again.

"And...how do you plan to solve Li Cunzhuang's matter?"

Talking about his "admirer", the monitor seemed a little shy, as if being desired by others was a very embarrassing thing for him.

"What else can I do?" I clenched the fist of my right hand, "It's most convenient to use 'this' to solve it!"

"Can't we stop fighting?" the monitor asked worriedly, "I don't want you to fight for me...my brother."

"Well, let me see if I can take the peaceful route. You don't have to worry."

I said this verbally, but in my heart I still thought that a fight with Li Erlen was inevitable. Li Erlen was as stubborn as a turtle that ate a weight. Apart from fighting, could I still reason with him?

Before dawn the next day, I heard someone knocking on the door.

"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong"

It sounded a little eager, but not particularly rude.

I opened my sleepy eyes, picked up the watch on my pillow and glanced at it.

Damn, it’s only 6:10! Because my home is very close to school, so even if I include the time to run to Dongshan Lake, it’s enough for me to get up at 6:30! Who came to disturb my clear dream so early!

It is impossible to rely on my father to open the door. My father was drunk again last night. When he came back, he cried and laughed while reading the love poem he wrote to my mother when he was in college. In the end, it was me who carried the drunk father.

Go to bed. At this time, Dad must be suffering from a hangover. He has a headache even in his sleep.

I had no choice but to get up from the bed and quickly put on a T-shirt and basketball shorts. When I passed the full-length mirror in front of the bathroom door, I saw a few particles of eye droppings hanging from the corners of my eyes.

Although her hair is short, it is messed up because she always turns over when sleeping. This image is really quite embarrassing.

But I don't care, and I don't think it's rude to answer the door like this - since you're disturbing someone so early, be prepared to be surprised by someone else's bare face.

I looked out through the peephole of the security door, but I couldn’t see clearly. The peephole seemed to be blocked by chewing gum or something like that. Who the hell did this naughty kid do? If I catch him, he has to do it.

You can't tie him in front of the TV and force him to watch "The Blue Cat's Three Thousand Questions" ten thousand times!

"Who is this so early in the morning?" I asked angrily.

"Sending express delivery."

There was an unclear voice coming from across the door, as if the speaker was wearing a very thick mask, and it was unclear whether he was a man or a woman.

The person who delivers the express delivery must be a man, right? Our family has been running an online store for so long, but we have never met a female courier. Since it is an express delivery, I have to open the door to collect it. Maybe some customers are returning or exchanging goods. Is dad drunk?

Tell me.

So I scratched my belly and opened the door half awake and half asleep.

As soon as the door opened a crack, Xiaoqin couldn't wait to squeeze in.

"Good morning, classmate Ye Lin O(∩_∩)O"

Maybe because she was afraid that I would close the door, she was in such a hurry when she came in that she almost scraped her school uniform skirt on the door handle. The bulging schoolbag behind her back was also stuck in the crack of the door, making her look like a turtle for a moment.

He was still in the same embarrassment, and could only uselessly wave his limbs.

At this time, people working the morning shift or finishing the evening shift were already coming and going in the corridor. I didn’t want to embarrass Xiaoqin by getting her stuck here, so I had to open the large security door and let her in.

"Why did you come to my house?" I asked right away.

"Because, because I always couldn't wait for classmate Ye Lin on the way to school, in order to go to school with me, I had no choice but to come to classmate Ye Lin's lair!"

You just live in the lair! You think I am a black dragon! Are you here to search for my treasures with the 32-slot bag on your back?

"Don't pay too much attention to the words! I think a creature as powerful as Ye Lin should live in a lair to be majestic!"

As Xiaoqin spoke, she took off the heavy schoolbag from her back, which seemed to contain other things besides textbooks.

"Classmate Ye Lin, you haven't had breakfast yet?"

Nonsense! Not only did I not have breakfast? I haven’t woken up yet!

Xiaoqin smiled and took out an oversized thermal insulation vacuum rice cooker from her schoolbag. The outer shell was made of metal and was comparable in size to a small electric rice cooker.

With this kind of thing in your schoolbag, can you still hold textbooks? Are you planning to go camping at school?

Xiaoqin placed the rice cooker on the round table in the living room, stretched out her hand to her forehead, and wiped away the non-existent sweat beads.

"I'm so tired! Girls are really not suitable for carrying heavy objects. From now on, I have to leave this kind of thing to my childhood sweetheart, Ye Lin!"

"What is this?" I frowned and asked, "A bomb? Are you going to blow up Twenty-eight?"

"It's not a bomb! It's breakfast! Breakfast!" Xiaoqin pouted and protested, "Because last night, I rarely cooked with my mother, and ended up cooking too much at once, leaving a lot of chicken... So I just decided

Send it here to see if Uncle Ye and classmate Ye Lin like it... That's it (*^__^*)"

I thought it was another fast food like fried chicken nuggets, but when Xiaoqin unscrewed the lid of the rice cooker, I discovered that it contained a rather complicated dish: in addition to chicken cut into strips, there were also

There are spring bamboo shoots and sea cucumbers.

"What kind of dish is this?" I was a little curious. My father would only make chicken stewed with mushrooms for me. In the end, the chicken and mushrooms were always stewed until they were almost black, and at first glance they looked like chickens.

"Oops!" Xiaoqin suddenly woke up and hammered her palms, "It's so difficult to unscrew the vacuum rice cooker. I have such little strength, how could I possibly unscrew it by myself? This is the miracle of life! This kind of thing will happen next time

You must leave it to classmate Ye Lin!"

Stop pretending! If others don’t know, don’t I know? You are just a female ape Tarzan! Let alone a rice cooker, even if it’s an enemy’s neck, you can still twist it!

"What's the name of this dish?" I asked again.

"Hmm~(╯﹏╰)b..." Xiao Qin touched her forehead and thought hard for a few seconds, "It seems to be called Sea Cucumber Braised Bamboo Shoot Chicken! That should be the name!"

You’re not even sure about the name of the dish. It’s definitely not a dish you can make on your own! I think it’s Auntie Ren who is the chef. You only did the small things of chopping onions and handing out the garlic!

But it smells quite fragrant and the color is nice (the chicken and spring bamboo shoots are both golden). I don’t know how it tastes.

The rice cooker is divided into upper and lower layers. After Xiaoqin brought the braised sea cucumber, braised bamboo shoots and chicken on the upper layer to the table, steaming white rice was exposed on the lower layer.

There is nothing missing except bowls and chopsticks, and she really plans to solve the problem of breakfast for us two! I feel a little embarrassed.

But don't be too nice to Xiaoqin, otherwise she will get carried away.

So I was nit-picking and said: "Sea cucumber, braised bamboo shoots and chicken are all soup. Shouldn't we put it on the lower layer to avoid spilling, and then put the rice on the upper layer?"

"Oh, I made a mistake~ I was criticized by my childhood sweetheart, Ye Lin. I'm so sorry?"

Xiao Qin tapped her head and stuck out her tongue.

Stop stressing about your childhood sweethearts, okay? You keep talking about this, are you trying to brainwash me?

"Um...Uncle Ye hasn't gotten up yet?" Xiaoqin asked timidly, and then suddenly acted like a shy girl, "Hey, I brought a portion for three people. Can I eat it with you?"

Even if Xiaoqin didn't say anything, I could tell that the rice cooker was full, and there was more than enough for 3 people to eat. I don't think 4 people could finish it, right? Xiaoqin, do you think my dad and I are pigs?

"Do you really want to eat at my dinner table?" I asked.

"Of course!" Xiaoqin replied without hesitation, "My dream is to one day eat at the same table as Ye Lin! We have to eat together every day!"

What a hopeless dream! Are you satisfied just by eating? Sure enough, you are just a simple foodie!

"Huh, seeing as you brought so much food, I will allow you to eat at my house today!"

Even though I could only eat instant noodles this morning, I pretended to be condescending.

"Thank you! As expected, my childhood sweetheart, Ye Lin, is the best to me!"

Xiao Qin, who brought delicious food, seemed like a person who had received grace.

"But you don't have to wait for my dad. He was drunk again last night and won't wake up even if the demolition team comes. Let's eat at the table."

When Xiaoqin heard that this was the case, she was a little disappointed at first, but then she became excited with twinkling eyes.

"Originally I wanted to say hello to Uncle Ye, whom I haven't seen for many years...but it's an unexpected surprise to be able to enjoy a morning with classmate Ye Lin!"

Just like she confessed her love to me under the tree on the first day, Xiaoqin blushed and put the index fingers of her two hands together.

"Classmate Ye Lin, can I use your bowls and chopsticks?"

"Come on, you don't have to eat anything! By the way, I have to wash up first, and I haven't even brushed my teeth! You can help me get a bowl of rice by the way!"

"Serve, serve rice!?" Xiaoqin repeated my words with trembling all over, "Can I help classmate Ye Lin serve rice at her home?"

"Why not?" I asked strangely, "It's just a meal, why are you so excited!"

"But, but, this scene is a bit like a newlywed wife preparing for her husband..."

Xiaoqin covered her red face and was speechless.
