one to two

While looking at the recipe, Ai You thought about the ingredients in the refrigerator.Being able to cook just enough food for one person is also a skill.

I still remember that when I first started cooking alone, Ai You would always subconsciously increase the portion size. In order not to waste food, she would eat up the food most of the time.It wasn't until a month later, when Ai You's parents came back from a business trip, that she realized how big a mistake she had made.

That day, Fang Suqing and Ai Jue called Ai You after returning to their house, and made an appointment to go out for dinner together. When Ai You arrived at the restaurant by car, her parents had already arrived. , it was rare to disregard the occasion and shouted loudly: "Ai You, tell me what you did honestly?"

Ai You looked at her mother's aggressive look with surprise on her face, thinking what kind of nerves did she have?She put down her bag, sat down and took a sip of the tea that Ai Jue handed over, and asked doubtfully, "What did I do?"

"It's only been over a month, why have you gained so much weight? Look at you, it's swollen all over. You, you... are you pregnant? Fang Suqing realized what she was thinking, and frightened herself Jump. Hearing his wife's words, Ai Jue almost spit out a mouthful of tea, and immediately stared at Ai You's stomach with wide eyes.

Ai You rolled her eyes, and said helplessly: "Mom, can you stop being so whimsical? Dad, take your eyes away, do you think you are Monkey King and have sharp eyes?"

"Then what's going on with you?" Fang Suqing didn't care about her daughter's disgusted eyes, the most important thing right now was to figure out the doubts in her heart.

"Oh, I just eat a lot this month, it's nothing wrong!" Ai You said while shaking her head.

"Eat more? Why? Lovelorn?" Fang Suqing continued to ask.

Ai You felt that the eyes of several tables around her were focused on her, wishing she could disappear out of thin air.Gritting his teeth, he whispered, "No, no!"

In Ai You's heart, Fang Suqing has always been a wonderful mother.Since the beginning of my development, I have been giving myself sufficient nutrition and at the same time never forgetting to tell myself not to grow too fat.Although she and Ai Jue have been working outside for a long time, they will contact Ai You on the phone every morning and evening. They often tell their daughter on the phone in the morning to eat more eggs and drink more soy milk, but at night they repeatedly tell her to keep exercising.

There was a time when Ai You felt wronged, because at that time, when the students in the class talked about this issue in class, they all said that their parents only hoped that they could eat more and not lose weight indiscriminately. Nutrients, as long as you eat at home, every meal will also change its pattern to make delicious food for yourself.So after Fang Suqing once again told her not to gain weight, Ai You couldn't help asking why, but Fang Suqing didn't answer directly, only saying that you will know soon.

The next day Fang Suqing called Ai You and asked her to ask her teacher for a leave of absence, go directly to the airport to pick up the ticket, and take the afternoon plane to the place where she and Ai Jue were on a business trip to soak in the hot spring.

Fortunately, Ai You has long been accustomed to being asked for leave temporarily. As soon as she got off the plane, Fang Suqing, who came to pick her up, took her to the hot spring villa.

"Mom, haven't you always disliked public soup pools?" Ai You looked at the looming crowd in the foggy big soup pool and asked doubtfully.

"Don't go yet, look at those women over there, how do you feel?" Fang Suqing held Ai You, whispered and winked at Ai You.

Hearing these words, Ai You wondered if her mother had convulsions again, why did she let herself look at women, and how did she feel?This is too scary, right?Fortunately, she turned her head and felt that Fang Suqing's expression was within the normal range, so she looked in the direction she indicated.

This sight made Ai You's heart tremble twice, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on her arms.Those women are overly plump, with swimming rings on their abdomens one by one, it is really hard to bear to look directly at them.Ai You didn't realize that she had already frowned, but she just thought in her heart: Mom, you are too ruthless, it's fine to tell me what you say, and you even asked me to ask for leave to watch such a sexy and exciting scene!

However, I have to say that this trick is really effective. Since then, Ai You always subconsciously checks if the person in the mirror has a small belly when changing clothes.

This is the first time Fang Suqing has gained some weight, so Fang Suqing can't calm down. Ai You patiently repeated her spirit of saving food and not wasting it for a whole day. All the ladles have been replaced with small ones, which is called: change the set of kitchen utensils and keep in shape.Finally, after watching Ai You cook a meal that fits one person, she dragged her husband to the next destination.

Putting down the recipe and taking out the ingredients from the refrigerator, Ai You cut about a quarter of a circle of winter melon, wrapped the remaining half of the circle with plastic wrap and put it back in the refrigerator.He took out the ginger and garlic and cut them into thin slices. After all the preparations were completed, Ai You turned on the fire, set up the pot, and started to boil water to cook the soup.After a while, the faint fragrance of winter melon soup overflowed the kitchen.Ai You brought the soup to the small dining table in the living room, went into the kitchen to clean the pot, poured in oil, and fried a bowl of fried rice with scallions and eggs, went to the living room to turn on the stereo, and chose some lively music. eating dinner.

Not long after coming back from the interview in the afternoon, Ai You received a call from Xincheng's personnel department, and she was naturally in a good mood when she learned that she had been admitted.

Ai You didn't want to get up early every morning just to squeeze the bus and subway to work. When submitting her resume, she only targeted companies around the "Green Forest".This area was newly built four or five years ago. There are not many companies with top benefits and benefits, and most of them are small and medium-sized companies newly established in recent years, and the stability is not so high.For half a month, there are very few companies that make Ai You feel that they are suitable for each other.Fortunately, this Xincheng house made her feel a little interesting today, apart from Xincheng's own strength, maybe it was the two paintings on the wall, or maybe it was the illusion given to her by Qi Xin's interview questions.

Thinking of Qi Xin, the corners of Ai You's mouth raised slightly unconsciously.I have to say that Ai You likes the faint fragrance on her body very much, it is so pure and natural, and I don't know what brand of perfume it is.Maybe we will know after working together for a long time in the future.

While thinking wildly, he finished dinner. The so-called people are refreshed on happy occasions. Washing dishes, which they used to hate very much, has become an after-dinner pastime today. After tidying up the dishes and countertops, Ai You peeled an orange and used The orange oil squeezed out of the orange peel was rubbed repeatedly on his hands, and finally rinsed under the tap, and he left the kitchen cheerfully.

When Yan Zhiying called Qi Xin, Qi Xin was standing in front of the office window in a daze.Seeing that it was her mother's phone, she raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, walked quickly to the desk, found a piece of audio in the computer named meeting, opened it with a player, connected the stereo, adjusted the sound, and then After picking up the phone, he gave a soft feed.

"What are you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" Yan Zhiying's voice was as majestic as ever.In Qi Xin's memory, when he was very young, he could occasionally see Yan Zhiying's gentle appearance. Later, as his mother's official position rose higher and higher, the gentle moments became less and less. Use a sigh to fill the loss in your heart.

"Mom, I'm in a meeting, what's wrong?" Qi Xin frowned and said.

"Didn't I send you a message early in the morning to ask you to go out for dinner after work? Xiao Huang finally came back from abroad. Why don't you take advantage of this time to get to know him better and try to date him? When are you going to go? "

Qi Xin thought to herself, who is going to date that little Huang?By the way, turn up the sound of the stereo a little bit.She is unwilling to face Yan Zhiying in this way, but there is no way, if she doesn't work hard, Yan Zhiying will definitely not let go easily.

"Mom, I'm having a very important meeting right now. I'll hang up first. I'll call you later." Qi Xin didn't wait for Yan Zhiying to reply, she pressed the power off button, and quickly threw the phone into the office. In the desk drawer, the music in the player was replaced with a light music channel. The soothing melody floated out from the stereo, and gradually, each note filled the entire office.

Qi Xin leaned on the back of the chair, hunched her whole body in, and there was a trace of soreness in her shoulders. She closed her eyes, sighed lightly, and unconsciously fell into a deep sleep.

Ever since she graduated, Yan Zhiying began to arrange various blind dates for Qi Xin.Ordinary days are fine, once the children of Yan Zhiying's colleagues and friends hold a wedding banquet, Yan Zhiying is shocked by the wedding atmosphere, thinking that her beautiful daughter is still single, she feels that this is her biggest failure.

Why should the daughter of one of my subordinates marry the son of the secretary of the neighboring city ^ committee ^ secretary? This young man was her daughter's college alumni at the beginning. She wanted to match Qi Xin earlier, but she didn't expect to be caught up first by others. up.Forget it, why did Lao Zhang's daughter in the security room find a real estate boss and get married, and his daughter is still not in a hurry to stick to this job with no ambitions.

Sometimes when Qi Xin is pushed into a hurry, he will fight against Yan Zhiying: I don't worry about food and clothes, why do I have to find someone to marry when I have nothing to do?

Unexpectedly, Yan Zhiying slapped him directly, glared at Qi Xin and said, "I've worked so hard to raise you up, so of course you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but do you know that now those aunts of yours are asking about you?" What do I think about the big event in my life? My good daughter needs to be talented and good-looking, but I can’t find a good husband. Where do you let me put my face? People may still wonder if you have something What's the problem?"

Qi Xin doesn't like to hear this, what is the problem?I don't want to get married yet, is there a problem if I don't get married?She didn't bother to continue arguing with Yan Zhiying, she just increased her workload bit by bit. Slowly, Xincheng got several big orders. Wages have been raised several times.

The music was soft, Qi Xin closed her eyes tightly, and frowned slightly.

In the dream, Yan Zhiying followed Qi Xin with a sullen face and kept nagging. Qi Xin really didn't want to listen, so he took the car keys and drove out.Speeding all the way, the originally tidy road suddenly led to the endless desert, the yellow sand was billowing and boundless, the car got too much sand and suddenly turned off, Qi Xin got out of the car, the sun was setting in the west, and she walked along the other side of the desert. The looming wheel marks go down.The temperature is getting colder and the sky is getting darker and darker. There is still a piece of yellow sand ahead without any lights.While walking, a gust of cold wind blew, Qi Xin couldn't help shivering, and woke up suddenly.

Qi Xin opened her eyes. The notebook with music on the table had already gone to sleep. She took out her mobile phone from the drawer, turned off the computer, locked the door with the key, and left the office. The sound of high heels echoed in the empty corridor. It seems lonely and persistent.

I drove back home, made myself a cup of hot milk, took a shower, and after drinking the milk, lay down on the bed but couldn't fall back asleep for a long time.
