Simple Clothing Vegetarian Travel Jianghu is my only account on Toutiao. Thank you friends for reading, I hope you can like and forward me! ! !
I wish you all a happy National Day at the beginning! When going out for fun, you must take good protection and try to make as many delicious food as possible when spending the holidays at home haha.
is not late, it's just past nine o'clock in the evening. Just now, I looked out from the balcony and was the time when thousands of houses were lit.
Two elevators and two households, two households are located in one south and one north respectively. The middle is separated by two elevators, which is not much different from one floor and one household. Except for being in the elevator occasionally, I can't meet my neighbors at any other time.
So, very quiet. Miss Qian and the room were very quiet, and Yaoyao also became quiet.
The eleven-year-old man, stubborn and hopeful, silently watched the nanny Lifang knocking on the door of her mother's room.
door opened quickly. Junjun appeared at the door and looked into the corridor, asking with a worried look: "Brother, where are you going?"
Yaoyao said: "Change clothes and let dad pick us up!"
He was even more excited.
Soon, Miss Qian, wearing pajamas and a facial mask on her face, came out like a wind in the dressing room. He came to the door and looked at Yaoyao, took off the mask from his face and looked around.
Lifang knew that she was looking for a garbage can, so she reached out to take a moist mask from her hand.
Ms. Qian came to the corridor, stood in front of Yaoyao, and asked angrily: "What are you doing? Who is the offense? You have to face Uncle Dong sooner or later!"
Yao asked with a frosty face: "Why should I face him?"
Ms. Qian pointed to her chest and said: "Because you are my son! He is my boyfriend! He will appear at festivals and banquets in our house in the future!"
Yaoyao said: "I don't like him!"
Ms. Qian said loudly: "Did I make you like it?"
Her headband was decorated with a pink rabbit. Because of excitement, the long rabbit ears on the top of his head trembled. The best satin pajamas are worn on the concave and convex body, and they have a kind of colorful beauty under the warm yellow light.
But the expression on her face was angry.
After hearing Miss Qian’s words, Yaoyao looked up at her mother and was stunned for a moment.
Ms. Qian pulled down the backpack in his hand in one move. Yaoyao acted and pulled it, but it didn't win.
Ms. Qian threw her backpack heavily into the corridor and asked Yaoyao again: "When did I ask you to like him?"
Lifang picked up the backpack on the ground and put it in Yaoyao's room. I threw the mask into the trash can, washed my hands in the bathroom of Yaoyao's room before coming out.
Junjun was so scared that he stood far away from the corridor, standing against the base of the wall.
Lifang walked over and brought her in front of her. Looking at the mother and son at the end of the corridor.
Yaoyao said, "Why should people I don't like stay with him?"
Miss Qian tilted her head and said, "Do you like Huang Xiaoai? Do you like every student in your school? Why do you still stay with them?"
Yaoyao gritted his teeth in anger, and his cheeks bulged under the light.
Ms Qian asked again: "You can stay with them, why can't Uncle Dong? I didn't make you like him. He is my friend. Just treat it with basic politeness."
Yaoyao asked: "Am I rude to him?"
Ms Qian slowed down her tone, her face looked a little better, and said in a low voice and a little tired voice: "Mom didn't say you were rude to him. Now you are in a bad mood and want to go home."
Yaoyao lowered her head and stopped talking. The mother and son were in a stalemate in the corridor.
Junjun whispered, "But he is not happy."
Miss Qian glanced at Junjun and said to Yaoyao, "I know you are not happy. But my mother was very busy these days. She met with Uncle Dong less and she met with you less.I came back for dinner today to accompany you. It just so happened that Uncle Dong had an appointment with his mother again, so he brought him back to have a meal together. "
Yaoyao turned his head and looked at it, turning his face to the side.
Miss Qian walked closer, reached out to wrap her arms around Yaoyao's shoulder and said, "Go, go to the sofa and say. "
looked at Yaoyao again and said, "Why haven't you taken a shower yet? "
Yaoyao was reluctantly pushed to the living room by Miss Qian.
Junjun also followed. Lifang followed behind Junjun.
mother and son were already sitting side by side on the sofa. Miss Qian glanced at Junjun and said, "You go to bed with your aunt. "
Junjun turned around and looked at Lifang, and said to Miss Qian: "Didn't you say you would sleep with me tonight? "The more you say, the more you say, the less you whispered. The last few words are almost unheard.
Miss Qian said, "Then you play with your aunt for a while first. After my brother and I talked to you. "
Junjun turned around obediently and followed Lifang back to the room. The new nanny Xiaomin's room was silent like no one.
is at the Li family, and nine o'clock every night is the time for the children to sleep. This noisy is almost ten o'clock.
But because he has to wait for his mother, Junjun is in good spirits and asked Lifang to accompany her to her mother's room to take the tablet over. Sitting at the head of the bed, looking at the tablet while waiting for her mother.
is a child after all, and it soon started pecking at rice like a chicken. After a while, he fell asleep half-sitting.
Lifang simply picked her up and lie down to sleep.
It was past ten:30, and soft footsteps and speech came from the corridor. There was also a knock on the door.
Lifang whispered to Miss Qian as soon as she opened the door: "I'm asleep, I'll carry you over. "
Miss Qian nodded and stood at the door waiting for Lifang to carry Junjun out.
The eight-year-old girl fell asleep and was quite heavy. Lifang hugged her with some difficulty.
Miss Qian hurriedly opened her room in front.
Lifang put down Junjun, then pulled the thin quilt to cover her.
Miss Qian looked at Junjun who was sleeping on the bed and said to herself: "You are the best, your brother is disobedient. "
Lifang comforted in a low voice: "A boy, he has a little bit of temper. "
Miss Qian raised her head, looked at Lifang and said, "I don't know how his father taught her. You know about our affairs. How long has it been since he came to me? Every time I asked him to see my grandparents, I would be very embarrassed. My son was born for nothing. "
Lifang said: "The child is in adolescence, and it will be fine in a few years. In the end, I will kiss you. "
Ms. Qian shook her head, Lifang hurried out of the room and closed the door.
The night was calm.
The next morning, Lifang got up and saw that Xiao Min had already gotten up. She cleaned up the clothes in the washing machine on the balcony to the west. It turned out that she had already washed the clothes she and Junjun changed last night.
Lifang looked up and saw two pairs of underwear hanging on the clothes rack on the top.
Lifang endured it and endured it, but still couldn't help saying, "Xiao Min, you just came, Miss Qian was busy again. I'll remind you, don't be too careful. "
The baked clothes were twisted together and wrinkled. Xiao Min said while shaking hard: "Look at what you said, letting you come here is to guide me. If you have something to do, just say it. "
Lifang said: "Junjun went to our side. I washed her clothes by hand, and I used a special basin. Wash the socks without putting them in the basin, rub them under the faucet. ”
Xiaomin said: “I know. Her panties and I didn't use a basin, so I rubbed them directly under the faucet. I put the socks in the washing machine. I put disinfectant. "
is OK, anyway, I can say everything I can.
helped dry the clothes together, and the two went to the kitchen together.
Xiao Min said: "I don't know what to do for them to eat? "
opened the refrigerator and looked at it. It was too late to make noodles. Lifang used boiling water and half-sanitized noodles.
took a small piece of meat out and grinded it into a cooking machine. She added shallots, carrots, , and some soft dragon vermicelli , and added an egg, salt, light soy sauce, pepper, a small amount of chicken essence, and cooking wine to make a filling.
Then pull the half-scalded noodles into small pieces, roll them into dumpling skins, and wrap them with filling. After steaming over high heat for ten minutes, the scalded noodles become translucent and bulging, which means they are cooked.
cut some fruits and soaked them in straight water. They were ready to squeeze a few cups of juice when they got up. They could easily oxidize when they squeezed them too early.
fry a few eggs, wash the vegetables, and they can eat them when they get up and put them in the pot and stir-fry them.
Lifang and Xiaomin ate some steamed dumplings and fried eggs, and each of them drank a bottle of milk, which was considered breakfast.
When Lifang took milk from the refrigerator to Xiao Min, her hands shrank, and looked at Lifang and said in a low voice: "This milk is quite expensive, right? Can we drink it?"
quietly glanced out of the kitchen with a serious face.
When sitting at the dining table for breakfast, Xiao Min said, "Today is the two of us. If breakfast is to be made so diverse in the future, one person will definitely not be able to do it."
Xiao Min counted and said, "There are four things to make in total, and the pasta is also made in the morning."
Lifang said, "You can ask Junjun whether he drinks milk or juice the night before. The hot noodles can be reconciled and placed in the refrigerator with fillings. It is also prepared to put it in the refrigerator. When I get up in the morning, I bury the rolling dough and wrap it. I can make other things after steaming it."
Xiao Min was chewing steamed dumplings in her mouth, thinking for a while and said, "Yes, only the three of us can't eat much. A bigger bag, seven or eight per person is enough."
Lifang said, "That's right, we can eat seven or eight, Miss Qian may not be able to eat so much."
The two of them finished their breakfast, and it was only 7 o'clock. I cleaned the coffee table, and no one drank tea, and the sofa was clean, and it was finished in the blink of an eye. Put a few pillows, place the things on the coffee table, and wipe it.
Unlike the Li family, there are tea sets to wash on the coffee table. In addition to pillows, there are also Mrs. Li’s small blankets, Yingying’s various small toys, and snack crumbs on the floor from time to time. It takes time to pack it up.
The two of them had nothing to do for a moment. The corridor was quiet, and the mother and son were obviously still asleep.
So, on this quiet morning, two Baos sat leisurely in the small rattan chair on the east balcony. The breeze and the balcony came in through the open window and fell on the flowers of the small rattan table.
The air is soaked with the fragrance of flowers.
This bouquet of flowers may have been brought by Ms. Qian. Lifang remembers that she put it on the TV cabinet when she came to close the window last night.
Such a beautiful morning, some people will drink a cup of mellow coffee and read a book for a while, or listen to a high-quality music.
What kind of people are more likely to be confused? It must be someone who is lacking in his heart.
Some people often feel that their life is hard and tiring because they don’t have time. When they really have time, they don’t know how to effectively control it.
At this moment, Lifang and Xiaomin each lowered their heads and brushed their phones, one with a certain voice and the other with a certain hand. Very comfortable!
After 8:30, something came from the room. Looking inside, it was Yaoyao who came out in casual outfit.
Lifang said, "You drink a glass of water first, and aunt will go and warm breakfast for you right away."
Yaoyao nodded like a little adult. He took his cup and poured water, sat on the sofa, and slowly drank the water.
Two nannies brought the breakfast to the table and set up cups, bowls and plates. Miss Qian came out sleepily, stood in front of the locker, yawned and said, "Auntie, go find some clothes for Junjun."
Xiao Min exchanged his eyes with Lifang, and Lifang said, "Go together." These things will be done by Xiao Min in the future.
You shouldn't have to go out today. Lifang found Junjun a simple sleeveless A-line skirt in Xiaomin's room and also found long stockings. The air conditioner is turned on in the room all day, so let her put on socks.
Ms Qian's room was open, and the sound of water was rushing from the bathroom.
Lifang stood at the door and called Junjun. It responded as thin as a mosquito and flies. But there was no movement.
Two nannies entered the room, and Junjun was lying down with her eyes closed. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he just didn't want to get up.
Lifang bent down and said, "Eat steamed dumplings with meat filling for breakfast, delicious juice."
Junjun still closed his eyes and asked, "Where is my mother? "
Lifang said: "I'm washing in the bathroom. You get up quickly and get dressed, and you still have time to have breakfast with her. "
Junjun nodded, sat up, raised his legs and went down to look for slippers.
Put on clothes in Xiao Min's bathroom, brushing her teeth and washing her face, Xiao Min combed her hair.
first combed two braids, and then inserted the braids left and right. A small butterfly hairpin was tied on each side. It was both dignified and lively.
Lifang said: "You are quite clever and skillful. I give them a simple pill every day. "
Xiaomin said: "In that family, I comb my children every day. My mother is like a war every morning, and she doesn’t have time to clean up herself. Sometimes she doesn’t have time to eat the prepared breakfast and goes to work. "
Three people came out of the living room, and Yaoyao was still sitting on the sofa. Lifang asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Yaoyao said: “No, I’ll wait for Junjun. "His sitting posture, voice, and expression are really becoming more and more like Mr. Li's calmness without showing off.
said in his mouth that he was waiting for Junjun, but Junjun came out now, and he was still sitting and not moving.
Lifang said to Junjun: "You go to sit on the sofa for a while, and aunt will pour you water. "
said and poured Junjun a cup of warm water and let her drink it.
Until Miss Qian came out, Yaoyao said to Junjun: "Let's go, go for dinner. "
Ms. Qian had heard Yaogui's words and smiled brilliantly: "Babys, eat first when you are hungry in the future, and you don't have to wait for your mother. "
said that, and then put the bag in his hand on the cabinet and quickly went to the dining table .
Ms. Qian praised, "Oh, I finally got my aunt's meal again. "
said that, then picked up a steamed dumpling and took a small bite, swallowed it and said, "It smells so good! You guys eat quickly. "
Junjun has also started eating. Yaoyao is still pouring juice slowly, so he is not in a hurry.
After he poured himself and Junjun, he picked up a fried egg to eat.
Miss Qian said in a sweet voice: "Son, why don't you pour it for me? "
Yaoyao said, "Down with yourself. "
Ms. Qian took the cup in front of her to the middle of the table and said, "Pour half a cup for me." "
Yaoyao tickled impatiently, and poured half a cup for his mother.
After breakfast, Miss Qian took out the red and put on makeup, waved his hand and said goodbye to the two children. Shencai went out in a flying manner.
After breakfast, Yaoyao and Junjun studied, Lifang and Xiaomin went to clean Miss Qian's bedroom as usual, and Xiaomin took Miss Qian and Yaoyao's clothes to the washing machine to wash.
and so on Min returned to the corridor and Lifang said, 'Xiaomin, I'm idle, we'll drag every room and living room in the house, right? '
Xiaomin agreed of course.
After the two of them finished mopping the floor and going to dry clothes, Yaoyao walked over, picked up a few clothes with his hands and shook them open, and suddenly found Miss Qian's socks, underwear, and his own socks.
fell on the counter and asked, "Who asked you to wash them together?" Our family is separated. "
Xiaomin said: "Let's separate from now on." ”
Yaoyao said: “My mother is not at home, and you can’t work like this. ”
Xiao Min said: “How do I work? I've hand washed your underwear. Your mother is still with her aunt. Who will wash her if she doesn’t wash herself? "
Yaoyao rolled his eyes and looked at Xiao Min, and his chin moved a few times, and started to make calls.
should have called Miss Qian, but he didn't answer. Maybe it was a meeting in the morning.
Yaoyao went back to the house. Junjun was standing at the door of the balcony watching, and now he followed his brother back to the house.
Xiao Min leaned her back on the table, looking indifferent, she probably made up her mind not to do it anymore.
Lifang silently started drying clothes.
Xiao Min said unwillingly: "On the day I came, she put all her clothes in it. "
Lifang said: "She is so busy, how can she have time to rub her hands? I washed her like this last time. She didn't mind and said it didn't matter if she put the disinfectant. She used this washing machine alone.Junjun just put it in there when he doesn’t have a nanny. But you shouldn't tell your child about aunt . Such a big boy is already sensible, how embarrassing. "
Xiao Min asked Lifang: "You guys are also washing your own clothes? "
Lifang nodded and said, "The nanny's own clothes are washed by hand for the employer's children's clothes at home. So Miss Qian must have always thought that she was the only one who used the washing machine herself. "
Xiao Min asked again: "What about the bed sheet and quilt cover you used? "
Lifang said: "It was washed in the washing machine. Clean the washing machine thoroughly before and after washing. "
Xiaomin said: "I have never been in such a particular family, and I also said that what I used to do was a young couple to take care of a five-year-old child, and there was no such serious discrimination. We had dinner at the same table and shared the washing machine. "
Lifang said: "Ms. Qian didn't say anything to you, so you should take what the child said seriously. ”
Xiao Min said: “Is that a child? More in charge than adults. "
Not long after the two entered the house, Yaoyao's cell phone rang. Miss Qian called back.
Yaoyao called her mother and ran to the room.
After a while, Lifang's cell phone rang.
Miss Qian said, "Auntie, I don't have time to be at home. If the new arrival is wrong, please teach her. "The tone was full of blame.
Lifang said: "I have already told her in the morning. Moreover, she also washed Yaoyao's underwear by hand. "
Miss Qian sighed over there and said, "Washing clothes is just a trivial matter, but if she talks to Yaoyao like that, she can't keep her anymore. I have notified , the housekeeping company, , to let her get rid of the household and send it out of the community. "
Xiao Min stood beside Lifang and soon received the call.
hung up the phone, Xiao Min smiled and said, "Let's go, go and watch me clean up. ”
Lifang said: “Why do you have to? "I followed her to the bedroom.
Yaoyao and Junjun sat on the sofa and watched the two nannies go to the room.
While packing their luggage, Xiao Min said, "I have been suffocated these days. There is one sister Xiang on the other side, one is Miss Qian on the other side, and another little master comes. "
Li Fang didn't reply. What else to say? It's over.
Xiao Min had very little luggage and quickly packed it up. She went out without any nostalgia.
came back after sending Xiao Min back, and walked to the lobby on the first floor. The phone rang. It was Master Zhao. As soon as
was connected, he said, "Go outside the community to get things. "
Lifang just said ok, and the phone hung up.
walked back again, and a familiar car was parked at the booth.
Master Zhao was taking something out of the trunk.
Lifang approached and said, "Who asked me to buy it? "
Master Zhao said: "Mr. Li is afraid that you have no food here, so I will buy some and send it to you. "
looked at it and found that it was all silver cod, steak, beef ribs and sea fish. Lifang felt that Mr. Li was particularly obsessed with these things.
Master Zhao closed the trunk and was about to leave. Lifang whispered: "Honglian is here. "
Master Zhao looked at Lifang speechlessly, and after several seconds, he said, "Can you introduce your job to others? And he came as soon as he said. ”
Lifang said: “I didn’t agree to introduce her to her job. She decided to come by herself. "
Master Zhao said: "If I hadn't heard that you had a high salary, could she run so far? "
Lifang said: "I didn't tell her the specific amount. ”
Master Zhao said while getting in the car: “Don’t tell me these things. I have to go back. The company has a hospitality at noon today. "
took two big bags of things upstairs. Lifang knocked on the door outside, and Yaoyao opened the door and said, "I'll tell you the password. ”
Lifang said anxiously: “No, don’t tell me. ”
Yaoyao said: “It doesn’t matter. You can change your password when you leave. "
Lifang was so funny after hearing this. She said it was an adult or a child. Alas.
Yaoyao told Lifang a string of numbers and said, "You can open the door by yourself in the future. ”
said and went back to the coffee table to study.
After Lifang went to the kitchen to put those things in, she went to the living room to ask them what they had for lunch?
Junjun turned back from the desk and said to Yaoyao and Lifang, "I want Aunt Qiuyan to come back." Shui Lingling's big eyes always show pitifulness.
This is not something Li Fang can decide, and she has no authority to suggest it, so she stood up and said nothing.
Yaoyao lowered his head and whispered while writing, "Dad doesn't like her."
Junjun said, "But my mother and I like her."
Yaoyao said, "Tell me to my mother."
Lifang said, "Steam a sea fish at noon, then steam a meat patty, and steam egg custard . Is it okay to stir-fry vegetables?"
Yaoyao said, "Yes."
Lifang asked, "Can you cook soup?"
Junjun said, "I don't need to drink it."
Yaoyao raised his head and said, "Then I won't cook it."
Lifang put the rice cooker on, washed the sea fish, and steamed the egg custard first.
starts chopping pork filling, add pickled vegetables and chop them together, add light soy sauce, salt and cooking wine to season. , steamed meat patties without ganja, chopped shredded pickled cabbage instead, and the taste is just as good. The pickled cabbage is already salty, so just add light soy sauce to season.
Today’s rice is very simple, but rich in nutrients and all steamed, which is very healthy.
When the meal was about to be prepared, Mr. Li called Lifang's mobile phone and videos of the two children, and asked them to show him the camera to the photo.
Junjun said, "Dad, our new aunt is gone, can I ask Aunt Qiuyan to come back?"
Mr. Li was surprised there and said, "Ah? Go? Why?"
Junjun said, "Brother has a fight with her."
Yaoyao said loudly, "It was her quarrel with me. She put all her mother's clothes in the washing machine, and exposed her mother's privacy."
Mr. Li finished hearing this and said indifferently: "Ah, let's go. Come and have a meal."
Junjun whispered, "Can Aunt Qiuyan come?"
Mr. Li said, "Can she cook so many dishes for you? It's almost the same for her to order takeaway for you."
Yaoyao said, "Dad, otherwise, let your mother talk to her for a while?"
Mr. Li said, "You can do it for yourself."
hung up the phone and had dinner. Yaoyao said, "I told you to tell your mother."
The egg custard just steamed was very hot. Lifang took a plate and scooped it in it and spread it for Junjun to eat.
Junjun said, "Auntie, come and eat it too."
Lifang saw Yaoyao picking up a large piece of meat pie with rice and eating it deliciously, and joked, "I'll wait until you finish eating before eating."
Yaoyao said, "You are the only one, don't wait."
Both children love to eat meat, and Lifang has almost finished a plate of vegetables.
They don’t like fish too much. Lifang said, “This steamed fish is not big, and the three of us eat it evenly.”
So, everyone ate some.
After lunch, Lifang washed the fruit and put it on the sofa. Let the brother and sister eat and clean the table by themselves.
Before taking a nap, Ms. Qian called Lifang's cell phone and asked Yaoyao if she was unhappy today?
Lifang said she was not unhappy.
Ms. Qian said with some relief: "That's good. I had a fight last night and had another fight this morning. I was afraid that he would be unhappy."
Lifang said: "Where is there any overnight revenge between mother and son?"
Lifang said that if Mrs. Li talked to him like this, it would be great.
Ms Qian said, "He is okay. I didn't have any trouble with me. Auntie, Old Dong said he wanted to talk to Yaoyao, let's go back for dinner today."
Lifang said, "Okay, is it enough for me to cook six dishes?"
Ms Qian said, "You can make three or four of them casually, and I'll take a few more from outside."
Junjun was anxious while listening to his mother and Lifang's speech. He blinked his eyes and looked at Lifang.
Lifang asked her to say it.
Junjun had something to worry about and said as soon as he opened his mouth, “Mom, let Aunt Qiuyan come back."
Ms. Qian said: "She has left, and her mother has looked for the aunt again and will pass tomorrow. "
Junjun cried, "I don't want a strange aunt. I don't want to sleep with them. "
Miss Qian said, "Baby, don't cry first, just say it well. "
Junjun stopped and cried and said, "I just said it well, but both you and your father disagreed. "
Miss Qian raised her voice and said, "He doesn't agree? Is it his turn to take care of it? This is our family's business. "
Junjun said: "But you don't agree either. "
Ms. Qian was silent there for a long time, and Junjun kept sobbing.
Later, Miss Qian said, "She asked you to work, but she wouldn't cook for you. Can mom still let her come? "
Junjun said: "Then I will sleep with Grandma Xiang in the future. "
Ms. Qian said: "How can that work? When school starts, there will be piano lessons tonight. Can Grandma Xiang accompany you to class at her age? And if you sleep with Grandma Xiang, then mom won’t see you even when she comes home at night. "
Junjun cried aggrievedly.
Finally, Ms. Qian said, "Let's do it like this. My mother had a good talk with Aunt Qiu Yan. If she could get rid of her previous bad habits, we would let her give it a try again, okay? "
Junjun immediately said: "Okay. Let her give it a try. "
Ms. Qian said: "Then you have to agree to your mother. If Aunt Qiuyan comes back, she still asks you to help her work and refuses to cook properly, then you can't cry if your mother asks her to leave, okay? "
Junjun said: "She will change it. It can definitely be changed. She called me and said she missed me. "
Ms. Qian asked: "When did she call you? "
Junjun said: "It's been several days. "
Ms. Qian said: "Is this true? Then mom needs to think about it carefully. You take a nap first. "
Miss Qian hung up the phone. Lifang took Junjun to wash her face and let her sleep.
June lay on the bed with her eyes closed, but tears kept pouring into her ears. Lifang helped her up and sat down.
