The early morning sun shines through the cracks in the curtains and pours into the suave cottage. Li Qing hurriedly finished preparing for breakfast, and the silver spoon made a crisp sound when it hit the magnetic bowl, heralding the beginning of a new day.
"Uncle, come and have breakfast, it's all ready. Li Qing's voice came softly through the steam.
Wang Hao walked into the kitchen and sat at the dining table, with his favorite soy milk fritters and his favorite gentle sister-in-law in front of him. He looked at Li Qing gratefully: "Sister-in-law, you have worked really hard, you got up so early to cook." "
"It's okay, you also got up early to read. Li Qing's face was full of love, and she looked at Wang Hao like her own brother.
The atmosphere on the dining table is warm and harmonious, and the sound of dishes and chopsticks and relaxed and happy communication are intertwined, carrying the simple happiness of this home.
When night falls, so does the fatigue of the workday. Li Qing looked at the recipe in her hand, thinking about what to do tomorrow to make up for the two men in the family. She thought of deer blood soup, a family recipe taught by her father, and the older generation of the family would stew it every time the seasons changed, saying that it would replenish vitality and improve resistance.
Li Qing decided, and this weekend she would make a pot of deer blood soup for her family. She prepared the ingredients early, thinking that if the soup was simmered slowly, she would definitely be able to simmer the best taste.
After dinner that day, Wang Hao continued to make his study plan as always, and worked hard in the study. Li Qing turned on the stove in the kitchen, put the deer blood and medicinal herbs into the large clay pot, and began the process of stewing the soup. The rich aroma soon filled the whole room, and Li Qing silently imagined in her heart while busy that after drinking this soup, the uncle would definitely be full of spirit and make faster progress in his studies.
"Sister-in-law, what kind of fragrance is this?" Wang Hao smelled the aroma and walked out of the study and asked curiously.
"Deer blood soup, I heard that it is very replenishing, and it was stewed for you. Li Qing replied with a smile.
Wang Hao smiled and nodded, "Thank you so much sister-in-law, I can smell the fragrance, I can't help but want to taste it." "
The night enveloped the home gently, and the lights were warm and bright, but no one expected how much warmth and subtle confusion the warm gesture would bring tonight.
Li Qing stood in the kitchen, her eyes looking in the direction of the study from time to time, as if she felt Wang Hao's uneasiness. While the soup in the pot was still boiling, she decided to go over and ask.
"Uncle, have you been worried about anything lately? I see that you seem to have been preoccupied for the past two days. Li Qing asked softly.
Wang Hao put down the book in his hand and smiled bitterly: "Sister-in-law, it's a little something, an important project in the school, I participated in it, and I feel a lot of pressure." "
"Well, do you need help? Anyway, don't get too tired. Li Qing said with concern, hoping to share some of it for him.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, I know, I will. Wang Hao glanced at Li Qing gratefully, he knew that he could get the support and encouragement of his family, and the anxiety in his heart was reduced a lot.
The next day, Li Qing began to prepare the stew early in the morning. Seeing that Wang Hao was still asleep, she decided to let him rest for a while, and she began to get busy.
Li Qing put the deer blood soup on the fire and simmered, and then began to make some light breakfast. She was busy and thinking, hoping to help Wang Hao relieve the pressure caused by the school project in her own way.
When Wang Hao woke up, it was when the deer blood soup began to emit aroma. He took a step to the kitchen and saw Li Qing's busy back and the steaming soup in the pot.
"Sister-in-law, can I do something for you?" Wang Hao was not fully awake, and there was a hint of sleepiness in his tone.
Li Qing smiled and waved her hand: "No need, you can sit down for a while and have some breakfast." I'm going to watch this pot of soup and don't let it overflow. "
When it was time for lunch, Li Qing boiled the soup just right. She brought the soup to the table and went to ask Wang Hao to eat. Wang Hao looked at the deer blood soup in front of him and took a deep breath, he could feel the strong love in the soup.
"Sister-in-law, this soup must taste good. Wang Hao said gratefully, a spoonful of deer blood soup was sent to his mouth, and the warm current flowed down his throat to the bottom of his heart.
"It's good to like it, I hope this can help you replenish your strength and cope with the school project. Li Qing replied with a gentle smile.
The whole room was filled with the fragrance of soup, Li Qing and Wang Hao sat around the dining table, the aroma of soup and the warmth of home were intertwined in this afternoon, as if to dissolve all anxiety and anxiety.
The night is like ink, and the lights in the house are sprinkled in every corner, creating a contrasting light and shadow. Li Qing's room was still lit with soft light, and she sat at her desk, looking down and thinking about some family matters. At the same time, Wang Hao was lying on the bed in his room, but he couldn't sleep peacefully.
He tossed and turned, feeling a feeling of dryness spreading through his body, and the aroma and heat of the soup seemed to become an indescribable burden, making him feel extremely anxious. The night breeze outside the window brought a slight coolness, but it didn't seem to be enough to soothe his inner turmoil.
Time passed minute by minute, Wang Hao couldn't bear the restlessness, he got up and walked to the door, followed the direction of the light, and came to the door of his sister-in-law's room.
He knocked lightly on the door: "Sister-in-law, are you still awake, can I talk to you?"
Li Qing heard the knock on the door, put down the work in his hand, got up and opened the door: "Uncle, it's so late, is there anything wrong?"
Wang Hao looked at Li Qing and frowned: "Sister-in-law, I have been so hot that I can't sleep since I drank the soup, and I am also very irritable, I don't know what's wrong." "
Li Qing's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she realized that it might be that the deer blood soup was too nourishing, and the uncle's physique might not be very suitable. Immediately said with concern: "Then don't worry, sit down, I'll pour you a cup of hot water, maybe the soup is too hot." "
The two sat on the sofa in the living room, and Wang Hao poured out the pressure in his heart and his worries about the upcoming school projects to Li Qing. Li Qing listened to every word sincerely and gave him the most sincere comfort and advice.
Li Qing said distressedly: "Thank you for telling me this, uncle, not only soup, your brother and I will support you for any problems you encounter in life, don't hold it alone." "
Wang Hao nodded movingly, and the stone in his heart seemed to fall to the ground: "Sister-in-law, it's good to have you." "
Li Qing patted him lightly on the shoulder and smiled: "Okay, I told you so much, how do you feel, is your mood better?"
"Much better, sister-in-law. Wang Hao's heart finally came down, and the heat and anxiety brought by the deer blood soup had turned into the warmth of understanding and love between the family, and this sudden night talk made the hearts of the two closer.
As the night wore on, the lights in the living room were fading out, leaving only the faint glow of the bedside lamp in the room. After a long conversation, Wang Hao's heart was unprecedentedly peaceful and clear. He knows that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, with the support of his family, he will always have the strength to face it.
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much, this chat has made me feel much more comfortable, and I feel confident to face that project. Wang Hao said softly, with a long-lost smile on his face.
"Uncle, we are a family, your business is our business, you're welcome. Go, go rest, and be full of energy tomorrow!" Li Qing also showed a satisfied smile and gently sent him back to his room.
Quietly in the room, Wang Hao lay on the bed, exhaled deeply, and drowsiness gradually welled up in his heart. The conversation at night was like a kind of magic, which removed anxiety and irritability, and gave him the strength to move forward bravely.
A few days later, Wang Hao performed well in the school's project and received unanimous praise from teachers and classmates. The deer blood soup that night and his sister-in-law's love became the nourishment of his soul.
In this small home, deer blood soup and night lights are no longer just food and lighting, but symbols of understanding and support. The profound understanding between Li Qing and Wang Hao has been firmly woven into the breath of this home, becoming a source of warm memories and strength.
The warmth and harmony of the home have been restored once again, but it seems to have left traces of the warmth of that night in every corner. No matter what the challenges come in the future, every member of the family knows that there is an invisible emotional bond between them that can make them feel at ease and strength at all times.
