It was Sunday morning again, and it was the gate of the Fourteenth Attached Primary School again.

Zhao An and Ji Jiashu agreed on a meeting time, and Zhao An arrived at the school gate 10 minutes earlier. It is the most basic courtesy not to keep guests waiting.

Ji Jiashu appeared in his field of vision after a while, carrying a small blue schoolbag and wearing a children's shirt with a blue false collar on his upper body.Zhao An recognized Ji Jiashu in the crowd at a glance, it seems that Ji Jiashu also set off early.

Along with him was another middle-aged man who was also wearing a shirt. His eyebrows and eyebrows were roughly similar to Ji Jiashu's. He was elegant and handsome, especially the bookish aura emanating from his body, which made Zhao An very convinced of him. highly educated.

Zhao An thought: My judgment is indeed correct. When Ji Jiashu grows up, he will definitely fascinate all men, women and children.

Ji Jiashu and the middle-aged man soon came to Zhao An. Although Ji Jiashu was jumping for joy, he didn't break free from the man's hand and rushed towards Zhao An. Calling Zhao An's name is already a rare thing.

Soon the two met Zhao An, and Ji Jiashu tugged at the shirt sleeve of the man beside him and said, "Dad, this is Zhao An."

This man was indeed Ji Jiashu's father, and Zhao An was not surprised that he already had expectations in his heart.Zhao An nodded politely to Father Ji and said, "Hi Uncle, I'm Zhao An."

Seeing Zhao An's polite appearance, Father Ji showed a gentle smile, and said to Zhao An trustingly: "The little tree will be counting on you today."

Afterwards, Ji's father gave Ji Jiashu a few words and went back to work. Zhao An didn't expect that Ji's father would still need to work on weekends, and was a little curious about Ji's occupation.But now Zhao An has something more he wants to do.

After watching his father leave, Ji Jiashu immediately prepared to start the chatterbox mode. He had only seen him at school yesterday, but Ji Jiashu already had countless things he wanted to say to Zhao An.

"Little tree." However, before Ji Jiashu could speak, Zhao An spoke first.

Hearing this address, Ji Jiashu was stunned for a moment, and then his face quickly flushed red.

At this moment, Zhao An's bad taste was clearly visible, and he continued: "Xiaoshu, Ji Xiaoshu. I'll call you that from now on, okay?"

Ji Jiashu blushed almost to the point of dripping blood, but finally nodded sullenly.If it was someone else of the same age, Ji Jiashu would definitely not agree, but Zhao An, who is very good at everything and knows everything, seems to be acceptable.

Zhao An saw that Ji Jiashu was almost molested by him, so he stretched out his hand to hold Ji Jiashu, and then walked towards his home.

Along the way, Zhao An did not forget to continue to explain some things to Ji Jiashu, for example, his mother liked other people's compliments very much. Although there were some things that he couldn't say clearly, Zhao An believed that Ji Jiashu could understand what he meant.

When he came to Zhao An's house, Ji Jiashu did not show any contempt at all because of the small size of the house and the dilapidated furniture.The two of them would sit at the dinner table and do their homework with one stool each.

Doing homework with friends is a common way of communication between elementary school students in this era.It's just that it's a bit subtle when it comes to Zhao An and Ji Jiashu.

First of all, Zhao An finished all the homework for the weekend in more than ten minutes, and most of the time was spent imitating the handwriting of elementary school students.

Then there is Ji Jiashu.After seeing Zhao An finish his homework quickly, he admired him, and he couldn't hide the admiration in Zhao An's eyes.Then he finished his homework in less than half an hour and handed it to Zhao An with "please praise" written all over his face.

After the two of them finished their homework, Ji Jiashu turned on the chatterbox mode again, chatting endlessly with Zhao An. This time, the content of the conversation was mostly about his feelings and understanding of the song.

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother came back after a while. In order to show respect for Zhao An's friend, they did not go to the construction site today, but went out to buy vegetables together.

In order to make a hearty but inexpensive lunch as much as possible, the couple went to a large farmers' market four kilometers away to buy vegetables.Many vegetable farmers around here actually purchase from here and then transport them to various small farmers' markets for sale. Not only are the prices much cheaper, but they are also much fresher.So the two came back now.

As soon as Zhao's mother entered the door, she saw Ji Jiashu, who was carved in pink and jade, and she immediately fell in love with him, especially when Ji Jiashu got up on his own initiative, and said crisply, "Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Zhao An's best friend Ji Jiashu. "After that, he laughed happily.

At this time, Zhao An was immersed in Ji Jiashu's "best friend" and couldn't help himself. He didn't expect Ji Jiashu to be so thick-skinned, so straightforward.However, Zhao An still admitted Ji Jiashu's statement in his heart, and he also liked Ji Jiashu very much.

Zhao's mother came over, rubbed Ji Jiashu's little head, and said, "You and An An go downstairs to play for a while, and uncle and aunt will call you to eat later, okay?"

Hearing this sentence, Ji Jiashu's eyes almost lit up, he said loudly: "Okay", and took the initiative to pull Zhao Anxiao downstairs.

Seeing the two children running, Zhao's mother became more motivated, and she must work hard to create the best living conditions for her children.

However, Mother Zhao didn't know how excited Ji Jiashu was by what she said just now.

When he went downstairs, Zhao An clearly felt that Ji Jiashu was holding his hand harder than before.At this time, he had vaguely sensed that something was wrong, when Ji Jiashu yelled: "An'an, I will call you that in the future, okay?"

Zhao An finally came to his senses. Unexpectedly, Ji Jiashu remembered what his mother said.But looking at the expectation in Ji Jiashu's eyes, Zhao An couldn't say no to it.Forget it, just treat it as an equivalent exchange.Zhao An nodded.

Ji Jiashu's eyes became brighter, and he yelled "An'an" several times in a row, without feeling tired at all.Zhao An felt his face was on fire. No one of his age had ever called him by his nickname. Zhao An could only retaliate by calling "Little Tree" a few times, but there was no way to dampen Ji Jiashu's enthusiasm.

In the end, Zhao An could only make three chapters with Ji Jiashu. Like the piano, nicknames can only be called in private when no one is around. If there are other people around, they are not allowed to call them that, even their parents.

Looking at Zhao An with a serious face, Ji Jiashu could only nod obediently. Although he wanted to show off in front of others that he knew Zhao An's nickname, he vaguely didn't want others to share it with him. the secret.

The two played downstairs for a while, and then returned to Zhao An's home. At this time, Zhao's mother had already arranged the meals for the two to come over for dinner.

They are all common dishes in S Province, a dish of fish-flavored shredded pork, a dish of twice-cooked pork, a dish of tomato ball soup, a dish of stir-fried vegetables, and the braised pig's trotters specially requested by Zhao An.

Although these are the most common dishes in S Province, in fact, different cities, different regions and even different families make completely different tastes.

Take fish-flavored shredded pork as an example. Although it is a stir-fried dish with good sour, sweet and spicy flavors, some people will add shredded fungus and carrots to it. Will choose shallots.And more importantly, the taste of pickled ginger and pepper will obviously affect the final taste of fish-flavored shredded pork.

The fish-flavored shredded pork made by Zhao's mother does not add carrots and fungus shreds, and then chooses shallots from the shallots for cooking.

Chives are mostly cultivated in the south. They are soft and light in taste, far more delicate than other shallots, and the unique smell of shallots is also softer.The shallots in fish-flavored shredded pork account for half of the total in terms of quantity and taste.Choose to use chives, the taste is better, and it will not cover the taste of meat, pickled pepper, pickled ginger.

Such a fish-flavored pork shreds alone can already reflect Zhao's mother's talent and inspiration in cooking. Unfortunately, Zhao's mother always thinks that the fish-flavored pork shreds she makes are not authentic enough, so she seldom cooks this dish in front of outsiders. vegetable.

In addition to fish-flavored shredded pork, several other dishes also have their own characteristics.For example, the choice of meat in twice-cooked pork, side dishes and fermented soybeans, making meatballs without adding egg whites, etc., all add a lot of color to the dishes.

This is especially true for Zhao's mother's secret stewed pig's trotters, which are coated with a layer of secret chili sauce, bright red, fragrant but not greasy.Although it is called chili sauce, Zhao's mother added a certain amount of rock sugar to both the brine and chili sauce, which softened the spicy taste and gave the whole pig's trotters a certain aftertaste.

In order to achieve his goal, Zhao An took the lead in giving Ji Jiashu a piece of braised pig's trotter, and said, "Try this first, it's delicious."

As a person born in Rongcheng, Ji Jiashu is not afraid of spicy food at all, and he gnaws on the pig's trotters directly.When Ji Jiashu easily bit off the pork trotter that had been separated from the bone, feeling the spiciness, sweetness, and fragrance blooming in his mouth, his whole face froze.

However, the strict family education for a long time made Ji Jiashu restrain the urge to use his hands, and slowly tasted the soft, glutinous and spicy pig's trotters.

After Ji Jiashu ate up a whole piece of pig's trotter, Ji Jiashu said to Zhao's mother seriously: "Auntie, the dishes you cook are so delicious, especially this pig's trotter. I have never eaten such a delicious pig’s trotter.”

Ji Jiashu's earnestness does have a magical power that can infect people, making people believe what he said.

Hearing Ji Jiashu's praise, Mother Zhao couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear, and reached out to pick up several chopsticks dishes for Ji Jiashu, saying: "If you like it, eat more."

Zhao An watched all this silently from the sidelines, hoping that this would make his mother more confident.

Because Zhao An was so engrossed in his thoughts that he forgot to pick up vegetables for dinner, Ji Jiashu stood up and picked up a slice of twice-cooked pork for Zhao An and said, "Hurry up and eat, or you won't grow taller."

Watching Ji Jiashu's every move, the anxiety in Zhao An's heart was relieved a lot, he temporarily put aside his thoughts, and seriously tasted his mother's meal.

After dinner, Ji Jiashu begged Zhao An to go to his house to play, the purpose was to play the piano, Zhao An was in a good mood today and agreed.

After the two left, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother chatted while washing the dishes.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao's mother said, "Yuejin, why don't I try some marinated pig's trotters?" Ji Jiashu's performance today really boosted her confidence.

Father Zhao calculated the recent family income, nodded vigorously, and said, "Then let's try."
