Chapter 77: Gecko

  "Let's watch TV! Let's watch TV!" Just then, it was between Ning's grandma and mom, Zhang Yu quickly switched the TV to the food channel and invited everyone to come and take a look.

  Ning's mother is cooking in the TV, Ning's grandmother is helping and talking about past interesting things.

  "I remember when I was young, the countryside didn't have electric lights yet, and we lived in a dimly lit house. One evening, I stir-fried a big bowl of greens and brought it out. My youngest son, Huimin, was hungry and didn't examine it closely before taking a big mouthful. As he ate, he said: 'Mom, did you put pork skin in the vegetables? Today this pork skin is really tough, no matter how hard I bite, it won't break.' I paused for a moment and said: 'I didn't put any pork skin in today!' My son was shocked and asked: 'If there's no pork skin, then what is this thing that I'm biting on that won't break?'"

  Niang's grandmother said up to here, smiled and asked: "Everyone guess, what is in my son's mouth?"

  The host answered the hotline and listened as the audience guessed what was in Huimin's mouth.

  "Is there anyone who answered correctly? Please let Old Lady Ning give the correct answer!" The host collected the answers from the audience and, smiling, asked Grandma Ning: "What exactly is in your son's mouth?"

  "A small gecko!"

  As soon as this was said, the audience took a deep breath. Ning Qingming and others sitting in front of the TV were also frightened, shouting: "How terrifying!"

  My aunt Ning laughed and explained on stage: "At that time, when stir-frying dishes, the stove was burning straw, and the oil smoke rose to the wall of the stove platform. A small gecko happened to pass by and was smoked into the pot. Because no lights were turned on, plus I myself was also smoked to tears, so I didn't see it. Then when scooping out the dish with a bowl, the little gecko was hidden in the middle of the dish. My son took a big mouthful of food, and together with the little gecko, he put it into his mouth. At that time, there was not much meat to eat, and if there was a bit of meat flavor in the mouth, you wouldn't let go of biting."

  ”

  Another hissing sound. The host smiled and said: "So when you eat, don't just taste carefully, but also look carefully!"

  "Haha......" The audience burst out laughing.

  Ning Qingmin also laughed and said: "Fang Pinhui is good. Guo Shangliang came to find him, saying he wanted to go out and sing KTV, and even took Sun Wu and Ruirui away with him. We were left at home."

  "Boss, it's because of your eye surgery that we didn't dare to let you follow us. As for us, we were pitifully forced to stay behind and accompany you." Zhang Yu said with a sparkle in her eyes when mentioning Fang Pinhao. "Pinhao is so handsome, and Shang Liang is also so handsome. If Rui Li followed them around and didn't faint, that would be strange."

  "If everyone else is handsome, then I'm not?" Sun Wen was standing next to Zhang Yu, who was lavishing praise on Fang Pinmiao and Guo Shangliang. Not mentioning the younger brother who followed them out, Sun Wu muttered: "I look just like you, Ah Wu. You're saying this, it's implying that I'm not handsome!"

  "You have to think this way. I also can't help it!" Zhang Yu glared at Sun Wen, seeing him puffed up with laughter, covering his mouth and laughing straight away.

  Ning Qingmian took a glance at Sun Wen and also smiled. Sun Wen had thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and robust, except for his dark skin, he was actually quite handsome, just couldn't be compared to Fang Pinhao and Guo Shangliang.

  "By the way, where did grandma and them go again?"

  "She said she was going to the seafood store to buy something." Zhang Yu turned around and said, "Grandma had already bought a lot of seafood this morning, and there's still a pot stewing in the kitchen! Just now, she said we were missing something, so she took your mom and aunt out to buy some more."

  "Let me see if the sports channel is on?" Sun Wen glared at Zhang Yu, flipping through the channels back and forth, but not switching to the sports channel. Dissatisfied, he said: "All I can find are your women's dramas, I haven't even finished watching one soccer match!"

  "You watch football, it's been several hours, what are you saying!" Zhang Yu hid the remote control behind her back and wouldn't let Sun Wen take it. Seeing Sun Wen wanting to adjust the TV, she rushed over and blocked the TV, saying: "It'll be our favorite TV series soon, my Xiaodong is suffering, don't snatch it from me!"

  "He's the boss's classmate, and the boss didn't say anything, but you keep saying 'my home my home' as if he really is from your family." Sun Wen had been looking at Zhang Yu with disdain for his infatuation with Xiao Ye Sheng, and glared at him, saying: "Are you going to let go or not?"

  "What can you do if I don't let you?" Zhang Yu, relying on the fact that she had arrived before Sun Wen to help Ning Qingmian and had more experience, was bossing Sun Wen around in the shop. At home, she also had an attitude of "I came first, you have to give way to me", which made Sun Wen very unhappy. When she heard Zhang Yu say this, without saying another word, she went up and pulled her away.

  "Wow, what are you doing? You're even using your fists!" Zhang Yu rolled up her sleeves and made a fighting pose. Sun Wen saw her charging over again and helplessly said to Ning Qingming: "Boss, you be the judge!"

  "Alas, you're a grown man, can't even handle a little woman?" Ning Qingming smiled as she watched them bicker, with an air of detachment, looking down on them from above.

  Sun Wen was provoked by Ning Qingmian and turned his head to say to Zhang Yu: "You dare to come up and grab it!"

  "What am I afraid of?" Zhang Yu rushed up to push Sun Wen, but when she reached out her hand to push him, he suddenly stretched out his hand and picked her up, saying in a low voice: "If you don't behave reasonably, I'll throw you out."

  "Put me down!" Zhang Yu screamed, not expecting Sun Wen to use this trick. After Sun Wen put her on the ground, she rushed into the room with a red face and really didn't dare to fight with Sun Wen for TV anymore.

  Ning Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing. Just as she was laughing, Ning's grandmother and the others returned, shouting: "Xiao Min, although the doctor said your eyes have recovered well, you still can't use them too much now, quickly go back to your room and lie down."

  Ning Qing felt nauseous and spat out her tongue, so she returned to her room.

  "Xiao Min, this is stewed for you to eat." Ning Qingmin had just entered the room when her grandmother brought in a bowl of something.

  "What is this?" Ning Qing saw that the things in the bowl were cut into small pieces, dark brown in color, and didn't dare to scoop them up to eat at once.

  "This is the prescription I heard from someone at the TV station, saying it's for clearing liver and brightening eyes." Ning's grandma smiled, "I made a stew with rock sugar according to the recipe, you try it!"

  Ning Qingmin shuddered at the thought of her aunt Ning laughing on TV, explaining that the small geckos in her uncle's mouth were actually a type of lizard. She looked at the bowl with great reluctance, not because she was afraid of its strange taste, but because she feared that her aunt might have added some unknown ingredients with unpredictable side effects. Seeing that her aunt insisted on watching her eat it before leaving, Ning Qingmin asked: "Aunt, what exactly are these piece by piece things?"

  "This is turtle plastron. The meat from the back shell of a sea turtle." Ning's grandma clicked her tongue, "Over 1,000 yuan per kilogram, it's expensive! From now on, I'll stew a bowl for you to eat every morning."

  "Every morning?" Ning Qing frowned, although she knew that turtle board was a good thing, but to eat it every morning, really didn't have an appetite.

  Jing Qingmin didn't move, so Jing's grandmother quickly snatched the bowl and was about to feed him. Jing Qingmin had no choice but to swallow it with a stiff face.

  Watching Ning Qingmin finish eating, Grandma Ning smiled and let Zhang Yu come in to take the bowl out, then pressed Ning Qingmin down to lie down and helped her pull up the air-conditioned quilt. Seeing that she closed her eyes as if she was asleep, she quietly went out.

  Ning Qing was about to fall asleep when she heard her phone ringing, so she reached out to answer it. It was Li Mingna's voice on the other end, "Qingming, do you know where Shang Liang went?"
