Xiao Dan pretended not to hear.
They're all old foxes, they've seen more of the world than Liu Xiaolan has ever walked the road, how could they not hear the intricacies involved?
He saw and understood his wife's expression, and he wasn't worried that she would make things difficult for Shishi because of her long-term relationship with Liu Xiaolan.
A person's eyes can clearly express their inner thoughts.
He, a seasoned veteran, could easily distinguish between cunning and naivety.
Therefore, he never really liked Liu Xiaolan coming and going from home.
However, since his children weren't around and he was busy, he thought it would be good for his wife to have some young people to keep her company, so he didn't interfere with her social interactions.
"Thank you, Shishi. Eat up, eat more. After you're full, I'll take you to the beach for some fresh air."
"Using the leftover scraps to make dumplings?"
He quickly finished the braised pork he had just stuffed into his mouth and asked Xiao Dan expectantly.
"Don't catch him yet, wait until Stinky Egg comes back and then we'll catch him for you."
Xiao Dan shook his head. He thought it best to let the young couple enjoy themselves.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shi stopped talking and buried her head in her food, completely ignoring Liu Xiaolan.
To be precise, Liu Xiaolan didn't catch her eye at all.
Given her habits, Liu Xiaolan was practically invisible to her.
Since you can't see her or touch her, you naturally can't hear what she's saying.
Want to snatch the fragrant meat from her mouth?
It doesn't exist!
Zhang Tong coughed and said, "Xiao Lan, don't mind her. Shi Shi is just like that because she's not familiar with you."
"Don't even mention you. At the dinner party the day before yesterday, apart from Xie Lin, who got any extra glances from her, everyone else was practically invisible."
"Your Uncle Xiao and I took extra care of you for two days before we got this piece of meat. Eat it quickly, or it will get soggy when it gets cold."
Liu Xiaolan regretted it as soon as she said it.
Realizing she had said the wrong thing, she accepted the opportunity to back down.
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she noticed that although Zhang Tong's tone was the same as before, his attitude had become somewhat distant.
"Auntie, these egg dumplings smell delicious, so I won't be polite."
All that remained were the sounds of niam niam eating; no one spoke, each lost in their own thoughts.
She said two bowls, and Zhou Shi really did eat two big bowls, filling them to the brim. She was so full that even Xiao Dan, a guy, couldn't keep up with her appetite.
The little expression showed great satisfaction and contentment.
"Wow, this is delicious! Egg, Shishi wants dumplings tonight too."
Zhang Tong was in a dilemma; there was only a little bit of flour left in the house, and it would all be used up for this meal.
"Shishi, how about we eat tomorrow? Auntie will go buy flour tomorrow morning, we're out of flour at home."
"Flour? The kind that makes your face white?" the corpse asked, tilting its head.
When Chou Dan bought some delicious food, he mentioned those two words. He said it was for making noodles.
Can the flour used for making noodles be used to make dumplings?
Zhang Tong paused for a moment before realizing, "Yes, that's it."
Whoosh~~~
A rabbit ran off and disappeared, stirring up a cool breeze.
Zhang Tong was completely stunned by the cool breeze. By the time he realized what was happening, the person had already disappeared.
He forced a smile and quickly followed.
Xiao Dan was also anxious. The kid wasn't familiar with the residential compound yet, and if he ran too far, he might not be able to find his way back.
The residential compound is large; if the children get lost and wander off to the beach, it could cause problems.
He hurriedly followed her outside the courtyard, and only stopped when he saw that his wife was heading towards the front yard. He waited at the gate.
Only Liu Xiaolan remained seated, her eyes wide with disbelief.
She's so fast?
Let alone myself, even my trained comrades might not be able to keep up.
How is that possible?
Isn't she a country girl?
Is it because he's an idiot that his explosive power is different from that of a normal person?
Yes.
She had seen incredibly strong idiots before, so perhaps Zhou Shi's unique quality was her speed.
That's the only explanation.
By the time she figured it out, they had already started their return journey.
Zhang Tong carried a flour sack in one hand and held the hand of the mischievous child in the other. The child's face was smeared with white powder, and his head was also covered with a layer of white powder.
"Old Xiao, quickly lock the door."
Oh my, this is the first time I've seen what it means to be as swift as a rabbit. I'm scared!
She put the flour in the kitchen, pressed Zhou Shi down onto a small stool, and patted the flour off her head.
After wetting a towel and wiping her face clean, I gave her some earnest instructions.
"Shishi, next time you need to tell your aunt, you can't do it by yourself."
"If you get lost and can't find your way home, your aunt will worry, and Stinky Egg will worry too, understand?"
"Also, you can't climb over the wall. What if you fall and get hurt?"
"If you want to go home, just tell your aunt. The key is with me, so you don't need to climb over the wall."
That brat is incredibly good at scaling walls; if the kitchen wall weren't sealed off, she would have scaled it all the way in.
When she arrived, this guy was already about to kick the door down; he had even raised his leg.
She opened the kitchen door, and the brat found the flour sack, opened it, and plunged inside.
Someone seemed to have their ears automatically shut out, their eyes fixed intently on the kitchen.
Let the other person wipe your face for you. Once it's clean, then ask them what you care about most.
"There's flour; Shishi wants dumplings tonight."
"Okay, okay, we'll have dumplings for dinner." Zhang Tong said helplessly.
That brat has a big appetite, but luckily we have plenty of eggs and vegetables at home, so I can just cook for her whenever she wants.
The little girl is pretty, and after two days of rest, her complexion is getting better and better, which is pleasing to the eye.
She'd look even better if she gained a little more weight.
Having received confirmation, the man was overjoyed. He threw a piece of firewood into the bucket, grabbed the bucket, and tugged at Xiao Dan's sleeve as he walked out.
