“Mom Liz, welcome back.” Hearing the familiar footstep, Elisa turned her head back and said enthusiastically
“I bought some delicious desserts. Shall we eat together?” asked Elisa’s mother Liz with a cheerful voice
“Sorry, mom, I am afraid that I can’t join you right now. I am quite busy practicing now.” Elisa replied, showing a little smile on her face.
Liz pouted with a bit of irritation and she muttered: “I bought those new cakes from a famous coffee shop nearby. Still, she put those cakes into the refrigerator scrupulously and tried to rearrange the ingredients inside the refrigerator with great care.
At this moment, the cat Transformer smelled the sweet scent from the refrigerator, and slipped out to the side of refrigerator immediately.
“Ah, cutie Transformer, I think we should leave those cake for tomorrow.” Said Liz with a slight apologetic look
“Meow! (I want to eat now!” exclaimed the cat Transformer with pitiful eyes
“Whenever there is a cake, Elisa will stop everything and start to taste the cake. But today, she didn’t even take a glance to those cakes.” Liz said with a sigh
“Did something happen to Elisa at school?” Liz grinned at Transformer and mumbled
“Meow (it seems that Elisa also wants to have a high-quality kitchen knife).” The cat Transformer replied with a feeble voice, continuing to look upon the fragrant cake in the refrigerator.
Liz smiled again at Transformer and asked, “I also brought cakes that the cats can eat, but let’s wait until Elisa is free to enjoy it, what do you think?”
“Meow (you don’t understand my words, accordingly I don’t have any choices.)” Transformer stretched with a yawn and muttered, looking the refrigerator closed door fixedly.
Liz walked near to the dining table in the living room, pulled out the chair and sat down. She started to type on the computer, while listening to the chopping, cutting sound that Elisa made. After a while, she took out some plates from the cabinet in the kitchen, she put on her special pearl white apron. She walked straight to the sink to wash the plates. She reheated the food cooked from two hours ago with stock pot and put them into the cleaned plates. Then, she carried those dishes on the dinner table. She turned her computer off and put it in the second drawer under the TV in the living room. Softly, she sat down again on her chair, raising a little bit of her voice and said:
“Elisa, wouldn’t you want to join the dinner? It’s already eight o’clock in the evening.”
“I’ll be there now. Just give me a second. “Elisa put down the knife in her hand, then took off her apron. She washed her hands with hand sanitizer and sat on the chair opposite to her mother Liz.
“How are you doing so far in school?” asked curiously Liz
“Well, today Tramontana company came to visit our school.” replied Elisa with excitement
“Is that for real? That famous company actually visited your school?” screamed Elisa mother joyfully, as she was more surprised than Elisa
“Yes, and they said that if we reach the Top 20 in our ranking grades when we graduate, they will give their high-quality kitchen knives as our graduation gift.” Answered Elisa with a tender smile
“That’s astonishingly cool! The knives of that company are not ordinary.” Said Liz pleasantly
“I am full now.” Elisa carried her plate and prepared to walk to the kitchen
“Already? But we should have c…” Liz swallowed as she saw Elisa’s solemn attitude, she brought her words back and cleaned up the dishes on the dining table inaudibly
“Remember to clean up the place after your practice. “Liz specially notified Elisa before she washed the plates
“Sure.” Replied Elisa calmly
“And don’t cut your hands, don’t leave wounds.” Reminded Elisa mother with a caring voice
“as possible as I could.” Answered Elisa in a deliberate unhurried manner.
As Liz tried to clean the plates as soon as possible as she could, Elisa tried to separate the unsuccessful cut carrots and white radishes thoroughly and scrupulously, and she took out some other carrots.
“This time I am going to try to cut those carrots smaller and thinner.” Elisa stood in front of the green rectangle cutting board again and said with determined eyes
While Liz finished washing the plates, and Elisa was still cutting carrots and white radishes. Liz took out the computer which she had just placed in the cabinet under the TV in the living room. She brought it into her bedroom and started to watch the variety show broadcast on Youtube amusedly. When she stopped watching, she discovered that it was already 12 o’clock in the midnight. She closed the laptop, then she opened the door of her room silently, out of her expectation, she heard the more pleasant sound of cutting vegetables from the kitchen than before.
