Born of humble origins, with a wicked stepmother, a cheating husband, and her company stolen, Xu Zhaodi fought alone for most of her life. Just as she finally managed to divorce the scumbag and rec...
When Jiang Dahai and Jiang Xiaobao came, Xu Zhaodi put a plate of fruit candies on the table.
Jiang Xiaobao saw Xu Zhaodi hiding behind Jiang Dahai.
Xu Zhaodi grabbed a handful of fruit candies, squatted down and handed them to Jiang Xiaobao with open hands.
"Xiaobao, come here."
Xu Zhaodi's voice was soft. Jiang Xiaobao looked at the fruit candy in her palm, hesitated, took two steps forward and reached out to take it.
Xu Zhaodi said: "Xiaobao, auntie apologizes to you. Last time you threw mud, I gave you candy and praised you for doing the right thing.
Actually, Auntie is wrong. It is wrong for you to do this, and it is also wrong for Auntie to do this."
Xiao Bao blinked his pair of black and white eyes and whispered, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I was wrong too.
I shouldn't have brought other kids to throw mud at you, I won't do that again."
Xu Zhaodi raised her hand and gently rubbed the top of Jiang Xiaobao's head, saying, "Our Xiaobao is a good and obedient child, just like Xueyan and the others. Let's go and have dinner."
Jiang Xiaobao let go of Jiang Dahai's hand and ran to sit down in front of Feng Xueyan. Jiang Dahai was stunned by what he saw.
He had to admit that Xu Zhaodi's move was really brilliant. It allowed him to indirectly subdue his own brat and teach him a lesson.
Jiang Dahai used to think Xu Zhaodi was quite mean, but now he doesn’t think so at all.
Xu Zhaodi stood up and said to Jiang Dahai, "You should sit down too."
Jiang Dahai wanted to say thank you, but he stopped himself.
Forget it, it’s all in the past, so I won’t say anything about it.
Jiang Dahai laughed awkwardly: "This child is too naughty."
Xu Zhaodi said: "He suffered a little loss in the compound, and he will remember it when he goes out next time."
Otherwise, it may be too late to take care of it later.
Xu Zhaodi didn't say the rest. Chen Jianguo said, "Hurry up and eat. Otherwise the food will get cold."
Jiang Dahai sat at the dinner table, and then several people started to eat.
Several children were now lying beside the table, busy stuffing their mouths with rice.
Xu Zhaodi served dishes to the children and felt gratified to see them eating with relish.
There were several meat dishes on the table. The braised pork was very delicious, especially when paired with white steamed buns.
There are also boiled pork slices and boiled fish. After the fish is sliced, there are fewer bones.
Xu Zhaodi said, "Children, be careful when eating fish, there are fish bones in it."
Feng Xueyan puffed up her cheeks and muttered, "Auntie, the food you cook is so delicious. Can I come here every day in the future?"
This made everyone at the dinner table laugh.
Li Wenhui said gently: "Silly girl, you can't eat delicious food often."
Feng Xueyan blinked her big round eyes and asked, "Why?"
"Because if you eat too much you'll have a stomachache."
Although this question may sound trivial to children, adults may feel somewhat sad.
Who doesn’t want to eat delicious food every day?
There was a moment of silence among the adults. Xu Zhaodi put some braised pork in the bowls of the children and said, "Auntie will cook it for you again if there is a chance in the future."
The only sounds from the children were eating and a few grown men talking about work.
Jiang Dahai only took two bottles of wine which was not enough, so Li Wei went to the team store and bought two more bottles.
The sky had completely darkened, and the men were still drinking, while the children had already finished eating.
The bowls and plates on the table were all gone, and everyone was full.
Yang Liqiu also burped several times in a row.
It’s no wonder that everyone in the compound said that Xu Zhaodi’s cooking skills were great. She had never believed it, but after eating it today, she realized that her cooking skills were really great.
Seeing the children yawning after eating, Li Wenhui said, "Thank you for hosting us tonight, Sister Zhaodi. I'll help you clear the dishes and I'll take the children out first."
Xu Zhaodi said, "You guys take the kids to rest first, I'll take care of the cleanup."
Li Wenhui said: "No."
As Li Wenhui spoke, she had already started to clear the dishes. At the table nearby, a few grown men were still drinking.
Xu Zhaodi said, "Take your time to eat. I'll clean up the table first and let the children go to rest."
Jiang Dahai said: "Okay, we are almost done."
"No, take your time eating."
Yang Liqiu put the child aside and helped to clean up.
Xu Zhaodi was also polite to her, and Yang Liqiu felt very guilty.
After cleaning the kitchen, Yang Liqiu and Li Wenhui left with the children.
Xu Zhaodi said to Jiang Wan, "Xiao Wan, you should also go and rest early. We have to go to the fields with them tomorrow."
Jiang Wan almost forgot about this. She was in a bad mood and felt tired.
"Okay, sister, I'll go first."
After seeing these people off, Xu Zhaodi went to the bathroom to wash up first.
Four bottles of wine are not a lot for five grown men. Xu Zhaodi put on a facial mask in the bathroom. She heard some noises outside and wanted to come out to take a look, for she was afraid that the men outside would be frightened when they saw her face.
When Xu Zhaodi came out of the bathroom, the table had been tidied, the garbage at the door had disappeared, and the table that Zhang Qingdong had moved in was also gone.
Chen Jianguo came out of the kitchen wearing an apron. Seeing Xu Zhaodi's moist face, he guessed that she was applying some facial mask again.
Xu Zhaodi was shocked and asked, "Are you all ready?"
"It's all packed."
Xu Zhaodi smiled and said, "You are too diligent today, aren't you?"
Chen Jianguo smiled innocently: "Since you are giving me such face, I must be more diligent."
Xu Zhaodi smiled and said, "That's good." She was too lazy to clean up anymore.
“You have a good understanding, keep going.
I'm going to rest first, you go wash up quickly."
Chen Jianguo smiled, and when he came back after washing up, Xu Zhaodi was already in bed.
As soon as Chen Jianguo got into bed, he stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster.
As soon as Xu Zhaodi lay down, her whole body ached. She said lazily, "Don't make trouble. My waist almost broke last night, and I stood all afternoon. Don't even think about it."
Chen Jianguo tightly wrapped one hand around her waist, buried his face in her hair, and took a deep breath of the sweet-scented osmanthus scent.
"Then I'll give you a kiss."
"roll…"
"I'll roll over to you."
Chen Jianguo's tall and hot body moved closer to her again.
He was so persistent that he held Xu Zhaodi in his arms for a long time. Xu Zhaodi was so tired that she fell asleep in a daze. Only then did Chen Jianguo let her go.
The next morning, the team's rally call sounded.
Today they are helping the nearby commune with autumn planting.
When Xu Zhaodi heard the horn, she lay in bed for a while. When she got up and came out of the room, Chen Jianguo had already cooked the eggs.
He fried a plate of cabbage and made a bowl of boiled eggs with brown sugar.
Chen Jianguo said: "You should eat more. You won't be able to come back today. You will have to come back in the evening."
Xu Zhaodi was scared at the thought, but what could she do?
You have to work even if you don't want to.
However, she just regarded it as a form of exercise since she had nothing to do anyway.
