The soup bucket on the stove was sizzling hot, and the sour aroma of hawthorn spread throughout the room.

Zhang Xiaoyue twitched her nose and licked her lips.

Zhang Yanming opened the lid of the bucket, took a spoon into the bucket and stirred it. Seeing that half of the bucket of water had boiled down, he put the prepared rock sugar in.

"Cooking is so slow. You have to wait. Can't you cook it faster?"

The little girl is a little dissatisfied, she is greedy.

"How can anything come quickly in the world? What things don't have to wait? Think about it, what things don't have to wait? The better things are, the more they have to wait, right?"

"It seems so. Making dumplings is much slower than rice, but they are super delicious. It takes more time to stew meat than stir-fry leaves. Pancakes are also very slow." The little girl nodded her head and thought about it, raising her hand. I gave several examples to help my father convince himself.

There is nothing that cannot be separated from food.

"Yes, so you have to be patient, good things have to wait."

"Don't be afraid of having a good meal, it'll be too late. I'm too anxious to eat, eh, I can't eat, I can't eat the tofu." The little girl shouted with her little hands raised, her eyes wide open as she waited for praise.

"You're so awesome, you know everything." Zhang Yanming praised with a smile, stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl's face. Comrade Zhang Xiaoyue was obviously a bit fat, and he had to find a way to lose some weight for her. Of course, he couldn't say this. explain.

The rock sugar melts and the water in the bucket becomes thicker.

Zhang Yanming turned down the heat and stirred continuously with a spoon. After the red hawthorns were ripe, they faded a little and lost their luster. They were crowded together with the white fungus that had grown up and become fat.

"Time is short, let's eat together." Zhang Yanming found a small bowl, rinsed it with water, scooped out a bowl of hawthorn and white fungus and tasted it. It was okay.

"Me, me, daddy." The little girl drooled.

"It's all there. It's too hot now. Let it cool down for a while, then eat it on the table outside, okay? If it spills, it's over."

"Okay." The little girl nodded and swallowed her saliva, her eyes almost falling into the small bowl: "Dad, can I take a small sip first, a small sip."

Zhang Yanming found a spoon and scooped out a cup of sugar water. After thinking about it, he poured out half of it: "It's too much. Oops, I need to pour some more."

"No more, no more, dad. Total, just a little bit in total." The little girl danced anxiously in Li Wulan's arms, and Zhang Yanming laughed.

"Daddy is a big bad guy." The little girl turned her head to one side to express her displeasure.

Zhang Yanming scooped up a spoonful of sugar water and put it to the girl's mouth: "Oh, it's sour and sweet sugar water. Oh my, it tastes good."

Li Wulan turned around and put the girl's little mouth next to Genci'er. The little girl drank all the bran water without ceremony. She still turned her little head away from Zhang Yanming, but her little face could not suppress the excitement. The smile came out.

"Does it taste good?"

“It doesn’t taste good, it’s not too sweet.”

"Do you still want to drink?"

"...I want something to drink."

"If it's not sweet, why don't you drink it? It seems that Dad didn't do it well."

"...Dad is a bad guy."

Ha ha ha ha.

Sugar water should not be boiled too sweet. Too much sugar is not good for the child's health and will increase the burden on the internal organs.

Hawthorn is a good thing. This red fruit that grows in the bitter cold areas of the Northeast is full of elements beneficial to the human body. In particular, it helps digestion. Nothing can compare with it. It is also a good thing to treat chilblains. Go to root.

When cooking meat that is not easy to become tender, such as beef, you only need to add a few hawthorns.

…

"How about we drink tomorrow? There's so much, I'll leave it for you. Let's just drink a small bowl after we finish our meal. We'll go to bed soon."

The little girl was addicted to drinking. She ate a bowl and a half and still wanted it. Zhang Yanming persuaded her earnestly.

"If you drink too much, Xiaoyue will turn into a stinky kid when you come in." Li Wulan smiled and wiped the little girl's mouth.

"Then, I will still drink at that time. I will drink from a big bowl, as big as dad used."

"Okay. I'm watching TV, and I want to play with building blocks." Zhang Yanming picked up the little girl and carried her into the inner hall.

"Hehe, haha, let's fly." The little girl shouted happily.

Li Wulan took the porcelain and bowl to the kitchen to wash them.

"It's a bit troublesome to change shoes back and forth." After washing the dishes, Li Wulan came out and put her wet hands on Zhang Yanming's face.

"You just get used to it. No matter how much you clean up the kitchen, it won't be clean. If you don't change your shoes for a few days, the floor will be ruined."

"Grandma's house also needs to be replaced by an aunt. Grandma usually tells me not to go to the kitchen, and dogs are not allowed either."

"Tomorrow, should I take her to your mother's house?"

"Well, she hasn't been up there for several days. I guess my mother will scold me if she doesn't go back around. I'll go to the workshop to go through the formalities, fill out a few forms, and I'll be down soon."

"Dad, am I going back to grandma's house tomorrow?" The little girl raised her head and looked at Zhang Yanming, her big eyes suddenly full of nostalgia and reluctance. She didn't know where a three-year-old child could have so many inner worries.

"I'm not going back to grandma's house, I'm going to see grandma. Don't you miss grandma?"

"Then, can I come back and live here?"

"Okay, this is our home. If you don't go back, where are you going? To someone else's home?"

"If I don't go to other people's homes, I will live here. Dad, can we have sex?" The little girl stretched out her white and tender little hands and looked at Zhang Yanming expectantly.

"Okay." Zhang Yanming's nose was a little sore. He took a breath and reached out to hook up with the little girl: "From now on, daddy will take the baby with him wherever he goes. He will always be with you and watch you grow up little by little."

Holding the little girl in his arms, Zhang Yanming couldn't control his emotions. Damn your dreams, you live now.

I felt a bang in my head, as if something had been broken. Suddenly my whole body felt refreshed and clear. Everything in front of me became clearer. I could feel the heartbeat of the little girl and her happy mood.

And Li Wulan’s envy.

Zhang Yanming raised his eyes to look at Li Wulan, stretched out a hand to grab her hand: "Don't worry, I will help you get your child back next year."

Li Wulan's face turned red, she quickly retracted her hand and looked at Zhang Xiaoyue, then glared at Zhang Yanming fiercely.

"You get some money, and we sign an investment agreement. You need to prove to the court that you have the ability and income to raise your child, and that you can give her a better life and future. It must be your own."

Li Wulan nodded, frowning and thinking.

She is just an ordinary large-scale collective worker, with a monthly salary of over 300 yuan, and a little savings of only 3000 to 2000 yuan. It is difficult to find money in a hurry.

"For interest, you can borrow it from your acquaintances, friends, or family. You will be given an interest rate of 5% and sign a formal agreement."

"I'm afraid they don't believe it."
