Chapter 609: , White, red, beer
Returning to Lushan Village, the two entered the kitchen.
Zhou Shihe was the main cook, Li Heng washed and cut vegetables, the two cooperated tacitly, and neither mentioned the Huang Ziyue just now.
When he cut the side dishes like ginger and garlic, she said gently: "How about you go rest for a while, the dishes will be ready soon."
Li Heng washed his hands, wiped the water droplets and said: "Doesn't matter, I don't have the heart to read or write now, accompany you."
Hearing "accompany you," Zhou Shihe paused, looked at the dishes in the pot, and focused on working.
When the braised fish was almost cooked, she looked back at him, then turned to one side, waiting quietly.
Li Heng understood, took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish from the pot, put it in his mouth and tasted it, "The taste is really good, the saltiness is just right, it can be out of the pot."
After putting the fish on the plate, she said coldly: "I plan to go home tomorrow and come back on the tenth."
To these words, Li Heng had no surprise; when the woman in front of him called Mai Sui last night, he guessed this result, "Okay, you contact your family later and let them come to pick you up."
"Mm." Zhou Shihe said "mm" lightly.
Next, the two didn't speak for a long time, the kitchen was very quiet, only when a dish was about to be out of the pot, she would give up the position and let him taste it.
Three meats and one vegetable, four dishes were faster than imagined.
Putting all the dishes on the table, Li Heng asked: "The dishes are so good, drink some wine?"
Zhou Shihe wanted to refuse, but after receiving his expectant gaze, she was silent for a moment and agreed.
The two drank beer.
But Zhou Shihe only wanted one glass, and after drinking two small sips, she sat peacefully on the stool watching him eat.
Li Heng finished a glass in one breath, then started the mode of burying his head and eating, until half a bowl of rice passed, he raised his head, "You don't eat vegetables?"
Zhou Shihe said: "I'm not very hungry."
Li Heng asked: "Then why are you still organizing to cook?"
Zhou Shihe shook the wine glass in her hand lightly, and finally drank a small sip, pondered for a while before opening her mouth: "Sui Sui is afraid you are tired, so she asked me to cook a meal to reward you."
Li Heng was surprised: "Is it really Mai Sui's entrustment?"
Zhou Shihe said yes.
Li Heng thought for a while, and after a long time said: "If there is anything you want to say, just say it directly. We haven't known each other for a day or two, no need to go around in circles."
Zhou Shihe answered irrelevantly, but changed the topic: "I found that you seem to not like drinking white wine."
Li Heng said: "It's like this, the alcohol content of white wine is too high, I'm not used to drinking it, every time I drink a glass, I get drunk and unconscious, and I have a headache afterwards."
Zhou Shihe said: "But every time someone with a strong relationship looks for you to drink, you rarely refuse."
Li Heng said: "You also said it, it's a strong relationship, it's hard to refuse."
Zhou Shihe smiled and asked again: "What about red wine?"
Li Heng said: "Especially love it."
Zhou Shihe said: "Not easy to get drunk, tastes good, and looks good."
Li Heng smiled and said: "That's the reason."
Zhou Shihe said: "But it seems you drink beer the most."
Li Heng nodded: "Yes, out of ten times drinking, at least eight times I drink beer."
Zhou Shihe summarized: "Beer tastes good, cheap and easy to get, and can be enough, right?"
Li Heng gave a thumbs up, agreeing with her words: "Come, let's have a drink."
Zhou Shihe gave face, held the wine glass and touched it with him, but didn't drink it, but watched him drink.
Li Heng looked up and drank it dry, asking: "Why don't you drink?"
Zhou Shihe said: "Seeing you drink, I suddenly remembered one thing."
"Oh."
Li Heng said "oh," and followed up: "What thing?"
Zhou Shihe picked up her chopsticks, gave him a piece of mutton and winter bamboo shoots for the first time, and then she also picked up two pieces of winter bamboo shoots, lowered her head and bit a small piece of bamboo shoot, and then asked gently: "I have a little uncle, he also loves drinking, but my little aunt is more sensitive to the smell of alcohol..."
When the conversation reached this point, she stopped and didn't continue.
Li Heng pricked up his ears to wait, found that he waited for a long time and waited for loneliness, so he pursued: "And then?"
Zhou Shihe said: "The two always quarrel about this matter, later my little aunt used divorce as a threat, demanding my little uncle to quit drinking."
"Ah?"
Li Heng said "ah," it was the first time he heard that quarreling about drinking would lead to divorce, he asked: "Is your little uncle's health not good? Can't drink?"
Zhou Shihe said: "Currently still relatively healthy, often has physical examinations."
Li Heng asked curiously: "And then?"
Zhou Shihe changed the subject and asked him: "If one day, someone asks you to quit drinking, red, white, and beer all quit, will you do it?"
Li Heng shook his head instinctively, and blurted out without thinking: "Drinking too much hurts the body, drinking a little relaxes the mood, as long as you are not addicted to alcohol, why do you have to cut it off?"
It's just that after saying it, he was suddenly stunned, his chopsticks stalled in the air, raised his head and stared at her eyes blankly.
Zhou Shihe didn't avoid it at first, and looked at him quietly across the table.
After a while, she moved her gaze away quietly, lowered her head to drink and eat, eating slowly.
This time it was Li Heng's turn to watch her eat, watching her eat 4 pieces of fish meat in small bites, he put down his chopsticks and probed: "White wine represents Teacher Yu, red wine Mai Sui, beer Xiao Han?"
Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly, eating on her own, didn't pick up the conversation, and didn't pay attention to the gaze falling on her.
It's just that while eating, her complexion, although still as calm as in the past, quietly added a trace of imperceptible red blush.
Fortunately, it is dark now, and the electric light is relatively dim, this trace of red blush is not conspicuous.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Confronting for a while, Li Heng asked: "Did your little uncle quit drinking?"
"No, now he drinks even more every day," Zhou Shihe said.
Li Heng asked: "Then what about your little aunt? Did she divorce him?"
Zhou Shihe didn't answer this question, continued to eat politely, until she was 70% full, then stopped.
Afterwards, she smoothed the hair by her ear with her right hand full of charm, and said apologetically: "I'm a bit sleepy, go back to wash up first."
Li Heng didn't speak, looked at her straight, watched her get up, watched her leave, watched her disappear from outside the door.
Leaving Building 26, Zhou Shihe lowered her head and took a deep breath, then her hands patted her hot face gently and unconsciously.
Then she worried about something, and looked back at the entrance of Building 26, seeing that he didn't follow out, the hanging heart finally fell completely.
Took out the key, opened Building 27, the moment she walked into her own space, her complexion returned to calm, then turned around to close the door, changed into cotton slippers, and sat on the sofa in the dark.
The light wasn't turned on either, just sitting there with dignity, like a sculpture that had lost its memory.
He guessed right just now, but she didn't hear the answer she wanted.
After a long, long time, she went to the second floor with a mood half-doubtful and half-relieved.
This time she still didn't turn on the light, felt her way to the coffee table, felt her way to pick up the receiver, felt her way to dial the phone.
But it wasn't to the Zhou family, but to Shaodong.
"Ding ling ling..."
"Ding ling ling..."
When the bell rang for the 5th time, the phone was connected, and Mai's mother's voice came from the other side: "Hello, who is this?"
"Auntie, I am Zhou Shihe, looking for Mai Sui." Zhou Shihe said.
"Eh, okay, Sui Bao just finished taking a shower in the bedroom, you wait a moment." Mai's mother opened her mouth enthusiastically.
Zhou Shihe said: "Okay, thank you Auntie."
After a while, the receiver reached Mai Sui's hand, "Shihe, have you returned to school?"
"Mm, I am in Building 27," Zhou Shihe said.
Mai Sui asked: "Then did you eat dinner?"
Zhou Shihe said: "Just ate."
Mai Sui asked: "Today is the seventh day of the New Year, the restaurants near the school should be open one after another, right?"
Zhou Shihe replied: "Still okay, only a small part is open for business, most are still closed."
Mai Sui asked: "Then where did you eat?"
Zhou Shihe said: "Do it yourself." ===== CHAPTER 610 =====
