Nie Zheng looked at Liang Qi without saying anything. What this woman meant was that she didn't want the child to be close to him.

He just won’t!

"When I was on a mission before, I slept on the grass, drank rainwater and river water, and ate raw rats, snakes and insects. I've seen everything." Nie Zheng didn't say much, just wanted to let her know that this was just the beginning.

After he finished speaking, he saw three people with wide eyes. There was curiosity in their eyes, and the two younger ones were a little scared. The three were stunned by what he said.

Nie Zheng looked at the cute expressions of the three women, young and old. All their thoughts were written on their faces, and it was clear at a glance. They didn't hide anything, and it was comfortable to get along with them.

"Uncle, can mice, insects and snakes be eaten?" Little Phoenix was extremely curious.

"You have to identify them. Some of them are poisonous. This is only considered when there is no basic food." Nie Zheng touched the child's head and looked at him lovingly.

"How do I tell?" Little Phoenix was full of questions.

Children have too many questions like "Why?" and "Why don't you ask me?" with the spirit of getting to the bottom of things.

Liang Qi himself may not have the patience to answer.

But the man was different. He carefully put the child on the kang to warm him up: "Uncle will tell you later, okay?"

"Okay," Little Phoenix obediently lay in the quilt, smiling at Nie Zheng with her big round eyes.

Nie Zheng's heart melted when he saw her. This was his daughter, his daughter, Nie Zheng's.

Liang Qi was a little bit unbelievable. This man changed so quickly. Was he pretending?

When we first met, I felt that this man was unattainable, elegant and noble, cold but resolute, and full of masculinity.

The words he spoke were so cold that they could choke you to death.

Things are different now. When did you become so good at coaxing children? And so easy to talk to?

He looks like a good father in the future.

"You guys chat, I'll go prepare dinner." Liang Qi understood their difficulties, but she had to cook and didn't want to listen to these nonsense.

"I'll help you. You can't handle it alone." Zhang Guishu originally wanted to listen for a while longer.

She also came from the older generation and had eaten everything when she was hungry. At that time, there was no food, so hungry people would take out the buckwheat husks from the pillows, wash them, fry them in a pot, grind them into powder with a stone mill and eat them as snacks. It was very difficult to go to the toilet after eating these.

Any plant straw can be fried, ground into powder and eaten. Living is so difficult.

When she heard about eating snakes, rats and insects just now, she thought it was nothing. At least they were all meat, which was already very good.

"Mom, I can do it alone. There's not much food. I'll clean it up and bring it up. We'll cook in this room." Liang Qi could see that the old woman liked listening to what Nie Zheng said.

The old man finally encountered something he liked, so he had to enjoy it.

"Mom, I'd better help you. You must be tired since you just came back." Zhang Guishu insisted.

"Auntie Gui, you and the child sit down and rest, I'll go help her." Nie Zheng looked at the child lying in the quilt to keep warm, and then looked at the two people interacting with each other.

"Ah?" Zhang Guishu looked at the two of them and instantly thought that Xiao Nie wanted to be alone with Qi Qi!

Then she has to give way, she has also been through that when she was young, she understands!

"That's fine, I'll stay with Little Phoenix." Zhang Guishu said immediately.

Liang Qi raised his eyebrows. This man is so attentive. Can he cook?

But looking at the child’s grandmother, something seems amiss. I’m afraid she’s acting like a third wheel?

"Let's go, Captain Nie." Since the man is so enthusiastic, it would be a bit unreasonable not to use him.

The man looked at the woman deeply. The smile on the corner of her mouth seemed a little smug.

Following behind, carrying the bag taken from the car.

The two went to the kitchen, which was also clean and dust-free.

Liang Qi was very sure that this was packed by her mother.

Suddenly, Zhang Guishu's voice came, "Qiqi, this year's grain has been distributed and is now in the mill. Wait a minute and see if the number is correct."

Liang Qi then remembered that the village was distributing grain and had forgotten such an important matter.

"Okay, got it."

"Is there no noodles at home? I'll go upstairs to get some," Zhang Guishu remembered that all the things at home were placed with her.

It was Xiao Nie who brought it over. They, the grandmother and grandson, have been living in her old house.

The fine grains were left untouched, waiting for Liang Qi to come back and eat together. It was not the New Year yet, so there was no need to go to town to buy them.

"No need, I've also brought some here, and there are also some in this bag. Those are for you and the children." Nie Zheng also heard it and said quickly.

"Okay, we can bring it down after dinner." Zhang Guishu and the child were both staying warm on the kang.

"What else is there to ask for? We have plenty of noodles here. We can bring some up when the time comes. We can cook at both ends, wherever is more convenient." Liang Qi thought that he had to find a way to live together after the New Year.

We can't live separately like this.

Nie Zheng glanced at Liang Qi. These days, people usually keep noodles to themselves, but this woman is quite generous.

He was different from all the rural people he had met. He had a different kind of toughness in him and was very thoughtful.

Cultural knowledge and medical skills are rare in rural areas, but this person has everything and is not pretentious.

Suddenly, I heard a woman's voice in my ear, "How about we have some noodles with gravy today?"

Nie Zheng was stunned for a moment because the voices were so close that he felt the air flow around his ears, and his ears turned red in an instant.

"Okay," Nie Zheng said slowly, his throat a little tight.

Liang Qi's attention was focused on the bag given by Old Man Tong, and he didn't hear the man's voice that was different from usual.

Nie Zheng also relaxed his throat, but then felt a little uncomfortable. This woman had no awareness of the difference between men and women. He felt a little suffocated, but he couldn't tell what it was.

I can only comfort myself that this is the child's mother.

"Old Man Tong is quite practical. He has so many good things. Did he move the kitchen?" Liang Qi said as he looked at the things inside.

There were frozen tomatoes, frozen peppers, eggplants, big red-topped radishes, and lots of white flour and cornmeal.

"Is this a lot?" Nie Zheng asked back.

Why didn't she go to the grinding kiln to see if he could get more?

"This much is not enough?" Liang Qi looked at Nie Zheng with an idiotic look. This man really doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man.

Nie Zheng raised an eyebrow, "What are you going to do with the noodle soup?"

"Can you knead dough?" Liang Qi looked at the man and asked.

Nie Zheng looked at Liang Qi for a long moment, then said expressionlessly, "No!"

"Then help me cut the meat," Liang Qi looked at the man and said with an air of, "If you say it again, you won't try it."

"Okay," Nie Zheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but Liang Qi didn't notice it in the dim kitchen.

Liang Qi took the key and went to the folk remedy. It was very cold in there. The flesh had been frozen solid and was hard when knocked. He had to refine it quickly when he had time tomorrow.

The pork belly is the best for making braised noodles, and fortunately it is already cut into pieces when it is divided.
