Chapter 167 Bringing the Apprentice Home for Dinner
Ye Jiao nibbled on the egg in small bites. As educated youth like them, it was difficult for them to eat meat all year round, so Li Beibei snatched it from her.
Who doesn’t want to eat an extra egg!
"Is it delicious?" Jiang Xiangbei suddenly asked her.
Ye Jiao's eyebrows curved like crescent moons, and a happy smile spread across her face. "It's delicious!"
Jiang Xiangbei took a bite of the egg and handed it to her, "Then eat more."
Ye Jiao looked at the half egg he handed over and stared at him blankly, "Master, you eat it yourself, we each... um——"
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Xiangbei stuffed half of the egg into her mouth and forced her to eat it.
Ye Jiao's face was slightly red. This was her first time to have such close contact with her master. In fact, she admired and worshipped her master very much.
So no matter how Li Beibei humiliated her because of this matter, she endured it again and again. She didn't want to make a big deal out of it and cause trouble for her master.
I wonder what kind of woman can be worthy of such an outstanding man as her master.
Jiang Xiangbei watched her eat with satisfaction, then put the remaining bite into his own mouth. After finishing eating, he picked up a few books on the table and began to review the notes on them.
The little girl's handwriting was very neat and delicate. Jiang Xiangbei only found a few minor problems. After helping her correct it, Ye Jiao finished eating, and then he began to answer her questions.
The master and disciple spent about an hour together. Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Xiangbei decided to go back for dinner.
Ye Jiao held the book in her hands with an unsatisfied look, and wrote down all the knowledge that Jiang Xiangbei had just taught her in her notebook. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Although she had a good memory, in order to avoid confusion, writing it down was the most sensible choice.
Jiang Xiangbei went ahead and waited for her at the door. Ye Jiao hesitated for a long time before coming out and preparing to go back to the educated youth camp for dinner. When she saw the figure at the door, she was stunned. "Master... why are you still here?"
Jiang Xiangbei raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "Come back with me to eat."
"This... this is not good... I'll go back to the educated youth camp and eat the same thing." Ye Jiao's first reaction was to refuse. She didn't even go to the banquet the day before, so why would she go to a 'family dinner' at this time?
Jiang Xiangbei didn't give her a chance to resist, grabbed her wrist and walked forward.
"Master... Master..."
Ye Jiao wanted to break free, but she was not as strong as Jiang Xiangbei. He seemed determined to take her back to the Jiang family for dinner.
At the Jiang family, Xu Jiahe sprained her leg, so Li Wei personally cooked a separate meal for her and brought it to the house. There was a large table left in the main room, but most of the dishes on the table were leftovers from lunch.
Xu Hongping was usually very frugal, but since it was such a happy day and Jiang Xiangbei had also returned, she made another pickled fish. The fish was caught by Jiang Dongfang and the others yesterday and it was very fresh.
The whole family sat together, waiting for Jiang Xiangbei to come back.
After sleeping for an afternoon, Jiang Dongfang and Jiangxi Chengjiu were almost sober, but they drank too much and had a headache, so they really couldn't drink anymore that night.
Jiangxi Chen said with some regret: "If I had known that my fourth brother was coming back, I wouldn't have drunk so much at noon."
