What's going on? Liu Shiqi was her guest, and Xie Wan felt that her eldest brother was going too far.
When Mother Xu saw this scene, she felt a little anxious. It was she who introduced Liu Shiqi to Xie Yuanchao.
She could understand that Xie Yuanchao didn't like the girl, but it was a bit embarrassing for Mother Xu to treat a girl like that.
As the sister of the perpetrator, what can Xie Wan do?
She could only rush out to clean up the mess for her elder brother. With unprecedented enthusiasm, she took a few quick steps forward and grabbed Liu Shiqi.
"Shiqi? I thought you were going to sleep in before coming here today. Come on, let's go in and talk."
Girls also need to save face, and Xie Wan clearly felt that Liu Shiqi was a little resistant.
"Xie Wan, I...I better go back. I'll come see you next time."
Xie Wan felt that it would not be a good idea to let the girl go like this. It would be troublesome if she became unhappy.
"We're already at the door, why would we need to do it next time?" Xie Wan knocked on the door. Damn Xie Yuanchao, he actually locked the door from the inside in broad daylight. How afraid was he that the girl would pester him?
Xie Wan intuitively felt that there must be a story behind this.
The wooden door of the courtyard is the old-fashioned wooden door that opens on both sides. The outer door can be padlocked and a bolt can be placed inside.
Xie Yuanchao's green military uniform was visible through the crack in the door. It was estimated that this guy was looking out furtively from behind the door.
Xie Wan yelled, "What are you doing?"
The door then opened.
Xie Yuanchao only glanced at Liu Shiqi behind Xie Wan and was about to run away, but Xie Wan grabbed his clothes and said, "Brother, look who's here?"
Xie Yuanchao didn't even notice Mother Xu following behind him.
"Sister, you guys play. I have something else to do in the camp. I'll go back first."
Xie Yuanchao forced his way out.
Liu Shiqi stepped aside, and Xie Yuanchao bumped into Xu's mother.
Mother Xu's face darkened, and she sighed with resentment, "Xie Dawa, you are grown up now. You are no longer the Xie Dawa who cried out in hunger and came home with auntie, saying that he wanted to be auntie's son!"
Xie Yuanchao: “…”
Xie Yuanchao was fearless except for being afraid of Mother Xu calling him "Xie Dawa".
In Sichuan and Chongqing, when people call their own or neighbors' children, they like to call them the eldest child or the second child in order.
When Xie Yuanchao was a child, he was treated harshly by Shi Yun and often did not have enough to eat. It was often Aunt Xu who took him home for meals.
Xie Yuanchao's biological mother died early, and his two stepmothers were not good people. In his mind, Aunt Xu was half a mother.
When he was a child, he really wished he was a child of the Xu family.
"Aunt Xu... why are you here?" Xie Yuanchao immediately became intimidated. He held Aunt Xu's arms with both hands and obediently helped the old lady into the house.
"Stop pretending, I called Xiao Wan before I came here, I don't believe you didn't know?
You must be hiding away on purpose and don’t want to see me…”
As she spoke, Mother Xu thought of her own son Xu Bing, who always liked to avoid her. She actually became sad and her eyes turned a little red.
This really scared Xie Yuanchao.
"Aunt Xu, I swear, I miss you so much. I often dream of you stuffing boiled eggs into my mouth.
And that year during the Spring Festival, I was hiding outside your yard and you found me, took me home, and fried me some sugar cakes. I will never forget it..."
When Mother Xu mentioned the past, she looked at Xie Yuanchao again and felt sorry for the child. The unhappiness on her face disappeared and she said with pity, "Child, your life is much better now. Why are you still talking about those things?"
At this point, Xie Yuanchao didn't dare to run away, and could only bite the bullet and stay with Mother Xu to ask about her well-being.
Xie Wan asked Liu Shiqi to sit in the yard. Liu Shiqi was still a little timid, completely different from her previous bold image in the recruit camp.
Looking at Xie Yuanchao again, although he was talking to Mother Xu, he did not look away and did not want to give Liu Shiqi even a glance.
Xie Wan was even more certain that there was something going on between the two of them.
Xie Wan was about to cook, but Aunt Xu refused to let her do it. She stood up and said, "Xiao Wan, do you have all the seasonings at home? Aunt Xu will make you an authentic Sichuan meal today."
Mother Xu checked Xie Wan's kitchen and the vegetables and meat she had prepared. When she saw the beef, she asked, "Why are there no green peppers?"
Xie Wanmang said that after she became pregnant, she suddenly couldn't stand the smell of green peppers.
Mother Xu said with certainty: "The baby in the belly is probably a son."
Xie Wan didn't understand what this meant?
Mother Xu explained: "It's so strange. People in Sichuan Province love to eat green peppers, but half of the women I know who gave birth to sons suddenly couldn't stand the smell of green peppers when they had morning sickness."
Xie Wan grinned. She had never heard of such a statement before, and hadn't figured out what scientific basis there was. She could only attribute it to coincidence.
While picking vegetables, Mother Xu asked, "Xiao Wan, do you like sour or spicy food now?"
Xie Wan thought about it and felt that he had no aversion to sour or spicy food, but he didn't particularly want to eat any of them.
Just thinking about it, she suddenly remembered a classic Sichuan dish, Zhe Er Gen, and she couldn't stop saliva from flowing in her mouth.
Xie Wan was about to cry, "Mother Xu, I want to eat Houttuynia cordata..."
Mother Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said regretfully: "Don't say that we are in southern Tibet. Even in our southern city, we can't eat Houttuynia cordata in this season!"
The scientific name of Houttuynia cordata is Houttuynia cordata. It is usually available in winter, around the Spring Festival. It is the most tender and delicious. In the era when there was no artificial cultivation, it was not available at other times.
