"Su Pengfei, is your mood bad today? Why, what's going on?"
Zhang Yang studied Su Pengfei for a long time, and always felt that his tablemates today were a little different... um, he was immersed in his studies and had a bitter face, but today he was beaming, as if he was a different person.
"What difference?"
Su Pengfei touched his face and could not help but laugh anymore.
"Look, look, you're laughing again, you don't realize it yourself, your mouth is always uplifted when you're working on a problem."
Zhang Yang said with certainty.
"Well, maybe it's a little different."
Su Pengfei rubbed the corners of his sore mouth and relaxed his facial muscles.
"There's nothing special, it's just that my dad said he'd take me to Happy Valley on Sunday."
Su Pengfei tried his best to hold back his joyful mood, and said in a flat tone as much as possible, as if to him, going to Happy Valley with his father was a very ordinary thing.
"That's it?"
Zhang Yang was a little disappointed when he heard that, should he be so happy to go to Happy Valley? He was tired of going there.
"Happy Valley is no fun at all. It is thought that there are quite a number of people on Sundays, and adults worry too much about it. This game is dangerous and you should not play. You can't eat ice cream and drinks Let me tell you, if you really want to go to Happy Valley & More fun to go with friends and classmates, don't go with an adult, it's boring and annoying.
Zhang Yang and Su Pengfei recounted their own experiences, taking their parents to play, the level of happiness was instantly halved.
Su Pengfei just smiled and said nothing, he thought, how can it be boring to go to the amusement park with his father.
He felt that even though he was just entering, taking pictures with his father under a Ferris wheel, then sitting on an amusement park bench, watching tourists come and go, full of laughter, he said, it's gonna be a very interesting thing.
Knowing that he was unable to convince Su Pengfei, Zhang Yang did not care, he only sighed in his heart that Su Pengfei and his father had such a good relationship.
*****
Su Pengfei's good mood continued, so he ignored the oddity he noticed earlier.
We had a family dinner on Saturday night, and we had to finish lunch by ourselves.
Normally, Su Pengfei could sleep half an hour longer than usual in the morning of the weekend, but this morning, Su Aobai woke him up from his sleep.
"Go grocery shopping with Dad today."
Su Aobai urged her to get up and take a bath.
Su Pengfei:? ? ?
She was full of question marks, it was normal for her father to wake her up to do his homework, but waking her up and letting her go shopping with him sounded a bit strange.
After all, Yuanshen was a person who loved extreme learning who didn't even want to let her spend a few minutes traveling to and from school on foot.
Shopping for groceries takes longer than going to and from school.
“Many ingredients in the supermarket are processed, and the price is clearly stated, comfortable, and do not have to worry about bidding for those who do not understand. You see, the price of this supermarket chain is relatively affordable, actually more suitable for young people who are not yet proficient in picking vegetables and do not understand the price of seasonal vegetables, but the price is certainly not as cheap as in a large farmers market, and some of the ingredients are not as fresh as in the vegetable market, such as box horses and the like, the price of vegetables is relatively high, of course, the quality of the material is slightly higher, the quality of the material is slightly higher, and more inorganic vegetables, but for ordinary families, the price is too high and need not ..."
Along the way, Su Aobai kept talking to his son about the differences in those markets.
"Today, I'll take you to the farmers market first. Next week, I'll drive you to the supermarket, buy vegetables, and teach you how to make some simple meals during the day. From now on, every Saturday, our father and mother son will spend half a day. Think of it as a father-son cooking class. After years of teaching you to read and learn, you forgot to teach you some of the most important life skills. You have to learn something. In the future, if your father is away from home, you can do it yourself.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Su Pengfei looked at his father nervously, the other party had changed too much, and the last sentence ...
"Why haven't you come home yet?"
A lot of thought came to her mind, could it be that her father would remarry and leave her alone? Or did his father finally decide to give up his useless son?
"It's nothing, but the ex-boss came up to me and asked me to help with the job. He was very sincere and asked for it. I think after all, the boss treated me well before, so I should help him this time, so in the next period of time, Dad might occasionally go on a business trip, he said, and if I'm really away from home for a few days, I can't let you take food, so I'll still have to teach you some simple home cooking."
This reason was very plausible, Su Pengfei knew that his father would sometimes do personal work, many of which were introduced to him by his previous boss, so now the boss suddenly needed his help, he said, it made sense for his father to delay for a while. regardless of what he did.
It was not because of learning that he could stay longer with his father, how could Su Pengfei not want to.
In fact, she also wanted to help her father do homework, and she wanted her father to come out occasionally and not have time to cook, she said, so that he could eat the food made by his son upon returning home.criticize him for not doing his job properly, just thinking of desertion. .
Early in the morning, Su Pengfei followed Su Aobai like a small bee, and walked around the entire vegetable market.
At this time, the character traits are revealed.
Dull, as the saying goes, three stems cannot make a fart, let alone in front of a stranger.
Su Pengfei was embarrassed to bid with the owner of the strange vegetable stall, it was fine, he could blush when he asked for a price to someone, Su Aobai tried it a few times, he said, and felt it was because of Su Pengfei's personality, not all because of his original post-birth education.
Ever since he was a child, Su Pengfei had always been a very shy character. When he was young, he did not like yelling at others. When he saw the unknown old man, he would instantly pull his head into his arms and coax him for a long time before speaking, yelling greetings that no one but himself could hear.
He was never interested in socializing. Except for his family members, he was only at the same table if he could talk a little. After changing shifts, I lost contact with these desk mates.
Such a character can be changed, but no doubt it is a long and painful process.
For a person with mild social phobia, it is painful and torturous for him to feel free to contact the community.
Su Aobai observed it all morning, and finally let go of the idea of changing it.
In fact, living in this society does not necessarily require an overactive social life, as long as he feels comfortable and lives within the range that he feels safe, it is legitimate.
There are all kinds of people in this society, not everyone has to be good at dancing in long sleeves, and the various poses are also a beauty.
Su Aobai felt that with his personality, it was also a convenient life choice to take him to some cheap supermarkets to buy ingredients that had been processed and did not need to be bargained.
Now that he had not expected, the truth was that the matter was still to come.
After buying vegetables and returning home, Su Aobai started teaching her son how to cook, it was at that moment that she realized that one's physical incoordination could reach this level.
Cut the plate, almost cut my finger.
Since this was his first time cooking, it was perfectly understandable that Su Aobai was not proficient in basic skills, but he was unable to understand that when one held a kitchen knife and cut a white radish, he could not understand, he could cut the kitchen knife off the tip of his fingernails and fingers, the middle of the first joint.
If it was just cutting to the tip of the hand, this is normal, it is inevitable that the kitchen knife will be misaligned for the first time, but the distance is too far, I fear that his fingers will be torn apart.
"I, I don't react."
Su Pengfei also had a prolonged fear. He did not think much about holding a knife back then. When he cut, he realized that the hand holding the vegetables was too far forward, but his brain was unable to turn. He did not pull back his fingers.
With this experience, he became more restrained, and the hand holding the radish was pinched directly on the horseradish tail, to that extent from the blade, so that the slices of the radish were sliced with different thicknesses, and the gap between the thinnest and thickest is excessive to more than a centimeter.
Su Aobai felt that even though he had only first cut vegetables, being able to cut them like this would be an incredible feat, of course this feat was degrading.
Not to mention the frying process, it was a disaster.
Afraid of the splash of oil stars, he stretched out his hand and stood far away, wanting to stick out the kitchen door, scratching the shovel randomly inside the pot, tightly clenching his mouth, clenching his mouth, and following Su Aobai's instructions with a serious face.add various herbs into the pot.
Because of the uneven frying, some vegetable leaves are charred at the bottom of the pan, and some vegetable leaves are still green and crisp and look rather raw.
Su Aobai could only comfort her heart, after all this was her first time cooking, ever since she was a child, she had never been exposed to this life skill in her original body, so she was still willing to do so, anyway, and he has made a finished product It's fine to make some simple home cooking.
However, a person like him who had the experience of several generations as a cooking god at a glance could find that Su Pengfei had no talent in cooking.
The sense of feeling is not good, and coordination and strength of the arms of the limbs are difficult to achieve certain achievements even after long and strenuous exercise.
Su Aobai's original idea of training him to become a chef was erased.
But you still have to learn to cook, at least until you can often fire yourself.
In the end, the kitchen was in a mess, and Su Pengfei finally finished lunch today.
A plate of chili fried pork, boiled eggs and grated radish soup, and the simplest tomato scrambled eggs.
Looking at the finished product, Su Pengfei frowned, is this really edible?
"The fried eggs are a bit charred. Next time fry until solid and serve. Anyway, it will be fried with tomatoes. Tomatoes are a vegetable that is easy to make juice. I told you when frying it, there's no need to add extra eggs. Add water, and boil for a while. Tomato juice will make the scrambled eggs of tomatoes sweeter and more sour. When you add water now, it's going to dilute..."
Su Aobai served a bowl of rice to himself and his son, then took chopsticks filled with scrambled tomato eggs.
"Ms."
Su Pengfei lowered his head, a little annoyed.At that moment, his father did say that there was no need to add any more water, but at that moment, it was, he saw that the juice from the tomatoes came out of the pot and was evaporated by the hot pot. Fearing that the pot would dry up, he hurriedly added half the water. A bowl of water, the result of the addition of water is a scrambled egg of tomatoes almost turned into a scrambled egg soup of tomatoes.
"But your first meal was good!"
With that said, Su Aobai simply took a spoonful and poured it over the rice.
Su Pengfei suddenly raised his head!
Dad... praise, praise him!
After that, Su Aobai tasted the other two dishes and also gave advice, but this time he did not continue to praise him, and the words of encouragement alone were enough.Even if there were factors that caused his personality change, he said, it was impossible for him to change his personality at once.
Su Pengfei was completely immersed in his father's praise As for the next two dishes, although his father did not praise him, salting the dishes with one chopstick after another really made him feel satisfied.
This was the first time Su Pengfei had never been confirmed or praised since he was a child.
"Usually your focus remains on your studies, but every weekend and weekend you can take a little time to learn some life skills, not necessarily limited to cooking."
Su Pengfei nodded after listening to his father's words.
He took a spoonful of scrambled tomato eggs, which were slightly salty and had a bitter egg flavor.
It doesn't taste very good, but Dad already finished half of his plate.
Dad said that this was his first time cooking, and it wasn't bad to be able to reach this level, as long as he contacted him a few times in the future, he would definitely be able to do better.
The repressed emotions in the past seemed to have found a way out, and Su Pengfei began to look forward to every weekend after that.
