slow and quick

Beginning in the third grade, you will learn English.

Although it's just some simple letters and words.

Ji Lin has already learned basic greetings, such as the weather, time, and numbers.

Although there are still some stuttering, the pronunciation is not very accurate.

Zheng Man said that he was not very good, but in fact he was very envious and admired.

Then I secretly went to learn English in advance.

He can now speak clearly and sing the alphabet.

In fact, it's not just because Ji Lin can speak simple English that he admires.

Ji Lin has a lot to admire.

For example, he has been bragging about cooking during this time.

Although Zheng Man ran on him, saying that it was just a hot dish.

It sounds like it's dismissive.

But in fact, he knew that after Ji Yan made his own food, he started clamoring for his mother to teach him how to cook.

I also specially warned that it is not allowed to say it, especially not to be known by Brother Rin.

Because he hasn't learned it yet, if brother Rin finds out, he will be ashamed.

His mother smiled and comforted him, saying that Brother Rin would not laugh at you, but Zheng Man still refused, forcing his mother to swear.

"You said you would never let brother Lin know that I was learning to cook!" Zheng Man said to her mother seriously, "Otherwise you would gain thirty catties."

Mother:"?"

No?

Are you a bit cruel kid?

Mom wanted to laugh so hard, she was still pretending to bargain with him: "So much? How about less? If you say it, you will make me five catties fatter?"

"No way!" Zheng Man retorted, "Five catties is too easy to lose, and this oath has no binding force at all! Thirty catties! Another bargain will be [-] catties!"

Mom: "Cut, stingy."

She curled her lips and groaned: "Okay, if I say it, I will gain thirty catties, don't you worry?"

Only then was Zheng Man satisfied, with a straight face, nodding like a grown-up.

Mom almost laughed out loud.

While she was washing the vegetables, she babbled at him again: "Whoever told you that it is easy to lose five catties, let me tell you, don't underestimate the clinginess of fat meat, it is very difficult to lose five catties." Bar."

Zheng Man looked at her blankly: "Huh?"

He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't want to understand, and he didn't want to ask his mother.

Because it makes you appear to be ignorant.

So I quietly asked Ji Lin: "Do you think it's easy to lose weight if you gain five catties?"

Ji Lin: "Huh?"

He had no idea why he had suddenly started discussing this.

As elementary school students who are still growing up, their parents have always told them to eat more and eat more to grow taller. Weight loss is a very distant topic for them.

All his common sense about weight loss comes from weight loss tea commercials on TV.

Ji Lin recalled those advertisements carefully, and hesitated: "Is it easy?"

He turned to look at Zheng Man, and asked him, "Didn't that aunt on TV lose fifty pounds in two months?"

Zheng Man hummed and nodded.

Yeah.

Sure enough, my mother was lying again.

Ah.

These dark adults.

During the period when Ji Lin was cooking by himself at home, Zheng Man was learning how to cook with his mother at home.

But until the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, when Ji Lin came to his house for lunch, he still couldn't even beat eggs.

I will only grab the spatula and pull the dishes a few times when my mother is cooking, so as to increase the sense of participation.

In this way, he also pulled the vegetables out of the pot from time to time.

And some can't hold the spatula tightly.

Heavy, hands tired.

Because of this, my father laughed and said how can a boy be so weak.

Then that night, Ji Lin and his mother had dinner at Zheng Man's house and were about to go back. When they left, Zheng Man told his mother that he would come back tomorrow afternoon and cook at their house with brother Lin at noon.

As soon as these words came out, Ji Lin was taken aback.

He looked nervously at Zheng Man, dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.

Zheng Man's mother was surprised: "Huh?"

Zheng Man casually offered Ji Lin the top pot: "Brother Lin said he cooks well, I want to try it."

Ji Lin: "?"

at a loss.

When did I say that?

Then the moment Zheng Man's mother looked over, she nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yeah."

Zheng Man's mother was dubious, and asked Ji Lin's mother: "Xiao Lin can cook by herself?"

In fact, it will only heat up the dishes by itself.

If egg fried rice counts as a dish, maybe it can barely count.

Ji Lin's mother suppressed a smile: "Yeah."

Zheng Man's mother guessed a little bit from her expression, and it was a little funny.

The two of them just thought it was Ji Lin bragging with Zheng Man, and they couldn't laugh or cry.

Zheng Man's mother nodded and smiled: "Okay, then you two brothers will cook and eat together."

He also warned: "Be careful."

The two agreed one by one, Ji Lin's mother said goodbye to her, and took the two children back.

Zheng Man took a shower at home, and when he arrived at Ji Lin's house, he washed his feet and climbed onto the bed.

Ji Lin wanted to take a bath, so he took his clothes to take a bath.

After taking a shower, my mother came in with clothes to dry on the balcony and was about to fold them when she saw him and yelled.

Ji Lin turned around: "Huh?"

Ji Lin's mother pointed to the kitchen: "I'll cook a few more dishes later, will you heat them up for Manman at noon tomorrow?"

Ji Lin hesitated.

He was a little uncertain.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It's still... well, I don't fry the beans, let me fry them at noon."

Ji Lin's mother raised her eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

Ji Lin is actually not sure.

He was a little worried that what he made would not taste good, in case Manman ate it and laughed at him.

But what Manman said was to let him cook, what if tomorrow he didn't cook at all, but just reheated the dishes prepared the night before, and then felt disappointed?

Ji Lin gritted his teeth, struggled for a while, and felt that he would rather be laughed at than be disappointed.

He nodded firmly: "Well, I'm sure, I'll fry the beans tomorrow."

Ji Lin's mother smiled.

She said: "OK."

He asked Ji Lin again: "Then do you want me to fold it for you?"

Ji Lin shook his head: "It's okay, I will do it myself."

After the mother and daughter clarified the matter, Ji Lin went back to the house.

Zheng Man was lying on the bed, watching Dragon Ball comics.

Seeing Ji Lin coming in, he raised his head and asked him, "Why did I only see episode 267, where did 266 go? I couldn't find it."

Ji Lin touched his nose.

He took the comics to the bathroom before, and when he stood up, he dropped the comic books into the toilet.

Zheng Man: "..."

Zheng Man looked at the book in his hand and fell silent.

He looked up at Ji Lin: "Have you taken every book to the toilet?"

Ji Lin blinked his eyes and asked him, "What am I going to say?"

Zheng Man's actions showed him what he would do if he said yes - he threw the comic book far away in disgust.

His face was still wrinkled together, and he gritted his teeth: "Hey..."

Ji Lin: "..."

Ji Lin was hit.

He walked to the end of the bed sullenly, picked up the comic book, and said to Zheng Man unhappy, "You despise me."

Zheng Man: "..."

Zheng Man thought for a while, sat up, moved to Ji Lin's side, and touched his head.

Then he stretched out his hands and held Ji Lin's face in his hands.

Ji Lin turned his face away and looked at him, puzzled.

Zheng Man held his face and said seriously, "I just picked my nose."

Ji Lin: "?"

what?

Then the next second, he understood.

Suddenly his face changed, and he shouted in disgust: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Zheng Man let go and sat back: "Heh."

I really looked down on Ji Lin who screamed and ran out to wash his face.

After washing his face, Ji Lin came in with a hot towel in his hand, grabbed Zheng Man's paws, and wiped his hands seriously.

While wiping his hands, he taught him angrily: "How can you do this!"

Zheng Man stared at the claws in his hand, and said calmly, "Oh."

He pouted: "I lied to you just now, I didn't pick my nose."

He "tssed": "Obviously you will despise me too."

Ji Lin: "?"

Ji Lin was dumbfounded.

Being put together, the whole is at a loss.

Ji Lin stared dryly: "I..."

The "I" of "I, I, I" has been around for a long time, but no "I" came out with a result.

In the end, he put down a cruel sentence: "You are so annoying!"

Zheng Man secretly smiled.

She said to him very generously: "Really? You are so cute."

Ji Lin: "?"

The so-called surprise wins, that's it.

Ji Lin's words were all gagged, and she blushed a little embarrassedly, feeling that she was speaking too much.

He snorted and muttered, "...Well, you are cute too."

Zheng Man couldn't help laughing.

At lunch the next day, Ji Lin was ready to be ridiculed by Zheng Man.

He even suspected that Zheng Man hadn't ridiculed him enough yesterday, so he found another excuse to bully him again.

As a result, when he took out the beans from the refrigerator, Zheng Man walked in, with his hands behind his back, and probed: "What is it?"

Then saw the beans in the bag.

Zheng Man chuckled.

He coughed, "I can help you break beans."

Ji Lin: "?"

He was dubious: "Will you?"

If Ji Yan was asked this way, he would have to force himself to say that he would, and then bite the bullet and do it.

But it was Zheng Man who was asked.

Zheng Man, who knew it clearly, tilted his head to look at him innocently: "I don't know how, you can teach me."

Ji Lin felt relieved.

Ji Lin's attributes of being a good teacher were aroused.

Ji Lin held his head high and held his chest high: "It's easy to say, brother Lin will teach you."

Then demonstrate it to him.

Zheng Man read it carefully, nodded, then broke one, and asked him, "Is that so?"

Ji Lin nodded and praised him with satisfaction: "You are a fast learner!"

Zheng Man showed an innocent and satisfied smile.

Like a little angel.

After dinner, I took a nap at Ji Lin's house.

When Zheng Man was sleeping, Ji Lin was doing his homework there.

Grandpa assigned him extra homework.

When Zheng Man woke up, the two held hands and went out to buy popsicles, and then returned to Zheng Man's house with the popsicles in their mouths.

Zheng Man's mother asked them how their lunch was, and they both said it was good.

Ji Lin also gave a special compliment to Zheng Man, saying that Manman and I cooked together, Manman learned so fast!

Zheng Man's mother gave Zheng Man a meaningful look.

Zheng Man had a serious face, without any guilt.
