Became a poor little boy abandoned by his educated youth mother?

Chapter 126 Asking Big Brother for Help

The little man looked quite capable when he picked up the kitchen knife, and his knife skills were pretty good.

What I am going to make is a stew of pickled fish fillet with tofu. The fish fillet is cut into thin slices of uniform thickness.

Prepare the fish and marinate it with seasonings. Fry the fish bones in a pan with oil for 2 minutes, then add some sauerkraut and stir-fry until fragrant. Add boiling water to cover the fish bones and start cooking until it turns milky white.

Then prepare the sauerkraut, wash and chop it, add ginger and garlic to the hot oil, then put the sauerkraut into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then add pickled peppers and stir-fry together, then add the boiled fish bone soup and cook together.

Then add the tofu that has been cut into cubes, and when it is almost done, add the fish fillets and seasonings. The fish soup is ready. Put it in a casserole. Finally, heat the oil separately and add the dried chilies to stir-fry until fragrant. Add a few drops of sesame oil and pour the hot oil into the casserole. The fragrance will come out instantly.

"All the steps are correct, and it smells good. Let me try it." An Xiaogu, the head of the kitchen, commented, picked up a bowl, scooped out a little, and tasted it with chopsticks.

He said calmly: "It's okay, I think you can do better."

As a mother, she was unhappy and started complaining about her daughter's first time cooking.

"Oh, that's it. It smells so good and tastes much better than the first time you cooked it."

An Qingyu was not convinced and retorted, "I figured it out on my own back then, but now Shitou has been taught by a master like me. How can you compare it with my first time cooking?"

What she didn't say was that her mother taught her how to cook. It was good enough that the rice she made the first time was edible. If she hadn't figured it out herself, she might have been her mother's successor by now.

An Honglei grinned and said, "Hehe, then I will continue to work hard next time."

He was very satisfied with the result for the first time, but he will continue to work hard to make it more delicious.

"Come on, brother!" An Xueyan also felt that this cooking trip was a complete success.

Then he fried other dishes, and by the time An Qingping came back from get off work, the last dish was ready.

When An Xueyan saw her father, she said, "Dad, are you back from get off work? My brother cooked the food today. You should eat more later."

"Okay, it's cold outside, so wear a scarf. Be careful not to catch a cold. Come inside quickly." An Qingping saw his daughter's bare neck and urged her to go inside.

"I've been in the house all the time. It's not cold. Dad, you should come in and warm up too." As she said this, she was about to take her father's hand and go into the house. However, An Qingping's hand was cold as she had just come back from riding a bike, so she held her daughter's arm on her clothes.

In a gentle tone, she said, "Daddy's hands are cold. You can't hold them now."

"Hehe, Dad, you are so nice!" An Xueyan felt warm in her heart.

"The third son is back, it's time to prepare dinner." Zhang Guihua said happily when she saw her son coming back. This time was just right, as he was destined to be the father who got to taste his son's cooking skills.

The food was served and the whole family sat down.

Zhang Guihua first picked up a piece of food with chopsticks for her husband and said, "This is the first time my grandson has cooked. Old man, please try it."

Then he gave it to his son: "Third brother, you eat too."

An Xueyan had already picked up a piece of fish fillet with her chopsticks and started eating. She liked the tender fish fillets in boiled fish.

After eating, he praised: "Brother made it delicious."

An Honglei happily picked up several more slices of fish for his sister: "Sister, eat more."

Then he picked up some food with chopsticks and gave it to Aunt An, who taught him how to cook. The whole family happily enjoyed this meaningful dinner.

After dinner, An Qingping told his daughter about the medicine.

Although he cursed Gu Chengzhi in his heart, he would be happy if this medicine could help more soldiers, so he told him about it as soon as possible.

"If you are too tired, let your brother help you." He was reluctant to let his daughter suffer, so his son was fine.

"Dad, I will help my sister grind the medicine, and my sister will be responsible for preparing the medicine." An Honglei patted his chest and promised.

An Xueyan, who had no objection to this, nodded and said, "Then I'll make it at home tomorrow, and then you can send it to Uncle Gu."

"Okay, Yanyan, thank you for your hard work." I felt a little distressed as I touched my daughter's little head. I will go see if there are any good things tomorrow and buy them back to nourish my daughter.

After telling his daughter what happened, An Qingping went out to look for his elder brother again.

Sitting on the kang in the main room, An Qingguo looked at his brother with disdain and said unhappily, "If you have something to say, just tell me."

Every time he comes, he causes trouble, so he never has a moment of peace of mind.

There were only two brothers in the room, and the eldest sister-in-law went to her niece's room after he came over.

"Ahem." An Qingping cleared his throat and said seriously, "The brigade should be assigning a group of demobilized personnel soon. Big brother, you should secretly keep an eye on them. One of them is my former leader."

An Qingguo said with a sullen face, "Why are there more people coming? This cowshed is full, where should I put them?"

An Qingping said, "Isn't there a dilapidated yard next to the cowshed? It could be habitable after some repairs. I've observed that it only looks a little shabby on the outside, but there's nothing wrong inside."

An Qingguo just complained verbally, but he still had to deal with this matter. This was his brother's former leader, who came from the army, and his son was still serving in the army. He still had a good impression of soldiers.

"I see. What's the name of your old leader? How many people are coming this time?"

"Their surname is Wei, their name is Sihai. They were sent down with the old commander, along with his wife. I don't know exactly how many people there were, but to conceal their whereabouts, there must have been more than just the two of them."

An Qingping also received the news before leaving get off work. It was the old leader's son who asked someone to convey the message and ask him to help look after the child.

He had served as a guard for the old leader for two years. Leader Wei had been very kind to him, and now that he was in trouble, he had to help him in any way he could.

An Qingguo felt a little bit of a toothache, and after thinking for a while, he said: "In the middle of winter, the people coming here can only come out from the brigade headquarters under the pretext of food. However, I will not give out the best food openly, so you have to prepare some in private.

I'll find some time to organize and clean up the houses on the other side of the cowshed."

An Qingping nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, big brother. I will arrange the rest."

An Qingguo took a puff of his cigarette and rolled his eyes at his younger brother, saying, "You are my brother, your business is my business, no matter whether it is troublesome or not, we in the An family are not the kind of people who are ungrateful."

The eldest brother's words softened his usually cold face a little. Anqing smiled and said, "Next time I will bring back two bottles of good wine, and I will drink a few glasses with you."

Smacking his lips with nostalgia, An Qingguo felt like drinking some good wine.

He didn't bother to be polite with his younger brother: "It would be best if we had that Moutai."

I heard that it was a drink that the national leaders used to entertain foreign guests, so he wanted to try it.

"No problem." An Qingping agreed immediately.
