Chapter 22 Night Talk
Ji Zhisui cut the bacon into small pieces, put a small amount of lard into the pot, fried out the oil from the bacon, and then poured in the egg liquid.
When the eggs are formed in the pot, add boiling water. When the soup becomes milky white, add noodles. Then add washed green leaves and the aroma of meat and noodles will begin to fill the kitchen.
A little head was peeking at the kitchen door, looking at Ji Zhisui eagerly.
Perhaps the gaze was too bright, Ji Zhisui noticed it and waved at the person.
Pei Xinghai knew that she was calling him over, so he let go of the hands that were holding on to the kitchen door and ran to his aunt with his short legs.
The child's face had become rounder and more fleshy due to Ji Zhisui's care. His skin was already fair, and he was wearing a blue robe that made his skin look even more white. Now he looked a bit like a rich young master. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch the little face of the person in front of her.
Those star-like eyes were full of innocence and ignorance, which made people feel heartbroken.
Ji Zhisui withdrew his disruptive hand with some guilt and coughed: "Xingxing, can you go and call everyone to dinner?"
Pei Xinghai didn't say anything, just nodded heavily, then ran out of the kitchen.
Looking at the child's lively reaction, it is obvious that he is not as withdrawn as before and will respond to what people say. This is a development in a good direction.
"Madam, do you have any opinion on Xingxing's illness?" asked the fireman.
Xingxing had been ill since childhood. He had seen many doctors and imperial physicians, but they were all helpless. They finally found a miracle doctor from southern Xinjiang, who said that Xingxing had a psychological illness and needed their guidance step by step and more attention to his mental condition.
Only the people in the General's Mansion knew the specific cause of Xingxing's illness, but Ji Zhisui's deliberate guidance seemed to indicate that he knew something.
Pei Xinghai's situation clearly shows a tendency towards autism. Ji Zhisui had come into contact with many children of this type when he was in the orphanage.
She opened her mouth to say something, but her mind was racing. In this dynasty, there was no such thing as autism. What should she do if the male protagonist, who was so smart, began to doubt his own identity?
If you take over someone else's soul or something like that, you'll be caught as a monster!
Ji Zhisui had a bewildered look on his face, and asked in confusion, "Ah! Is Xingxing sick? I just think Xingxing is very cute and I like him very much."
Pei Yian observed calmly. Although Ji Zhisui acted very naturally, she must be hiding something and didn't want others to know. Since the other party didn't want to say it, he was tactful and didn't continue to ask.
"Xingxing is sick, but he is very smart and he likes you very much." At least, apart from his sister-in-law, he has never seen Xingxing pestering anyone.
Ji Zhisui agreed. Many autistic children are actually geniuses! It's not like what those naughty kids say, that Xingxing is stupid.
Thinking of Pei Yuxuan, she realized that the people from the second branch of the Pei family seemed to have come to Qizhou County as well, but they lived on South Street and would not have any intersection with her family for the time being.
If this naughty kid dares to bully Xingxing again, she will beat him up. The disobedient kid deserves a lesson.
After Pei Xinghai ran out of the kitchen, he pulled the Pei family members to the table one by one, meaning that it was time to eat.
Although he didn't say anything, this spontaneous action made the Pei family very happy, and they obediently let themselves be pulled away.
When all the Pei family members were pulled to the dinner table by Pei Xinghai, Pei Yian just came out of the kitchen with dinner, and Ji Zhisui followed behind with bowls and chopsticks.
She discovered that the male protagonist was not only a qualified fireman, but also a qualified food server.
After the meal, it was getting dark. There were no entertainment activities in that era, and lighting lamps cost money. After digesting the food in the moonlight, it was time to go to bed.
Ji Zhisui's nervousness disappeared before it even started. There were three rooms, one big and two small. Old Madam Pei, Mrs. Pei, and Pei's second sister-in-law slept in the big room, while Pei Xinghai and Pei Yian slept in the big room, and he slept with Tiantian.
Her heart was relieved at once. Fortunately, she didn't have to experience the embarrassment of sleeping in the same bed with a stranger.
A big one and a small one were lying on the bed, covered with the newly bought bedding. They no longer had to live in the open air and in exile on the road. They now had a small yard and room of their own.
She finally had a real sense of this world. As expected, a house can give people an infinite sense of security.
She must work hard to make money and buy a small yard of her own!
Pei Tiantian couldn't sleep, so she tugged at her third sister-in-law's clothes, wanting to talk to her.
Ji Zhisui's attention was indeed attracted by her. She asked in a puzzled voice, "Tiantian, what's wrong?"
Pei Tiantian, a child, spoke without restraint and asked the question she was most curious about, "Third sister-in-law, are you and Third Brother married?"
"Yes!" At least in name only for now.
"Mom and Dad are also husband and wife. They used to sleep together, so why don't you and Third Brother sleep together?"
This question really embarrassed her, and she said vaguely: "Children should not meddle in adult affairs."
"Third sister-in-law, please don't dislike third brother. I don't want you to leave!" Pei Tiantian said this with a hint of tears in her voice.
"What are you thinking about? When did I say I was leaving?" Ji Zhisui already considered herself a member of the Pei family in her heart. She enjoyed the warmth that the Pei family brought her, which made her not feel lonely in this different world. She didn't want the Pei family to become like the ending in the book.
"You don't even sleep with your third brother." In Pei Tiantian's opinion, couples will only sleep in separate rooms when they don't like each other.
Ji Zhisui held his forehead with his hand. "You are so young, how can you come up with so many crooked ideas? Your third brother and I are very good friends."
"But my third brother told grandma last night not to let you two sleep alone in the same room."
"Last night?" They were still in the inn in Huizhou City last night.
It seemed as if Pei Yian and I had been in the same room from the very beginning. The air was filled with awkwardness and discomfort. Fortunately, the two children came in to rescue me.
Pei Tiantian couldn't hide the truth. Seeing that her third sister-in-law was interested, she repeated what happened last night. The basic idea was that the two of them should not be in the same room. She completely ignored her third brother's words not to talk nonsense.
Ji Zhisui raised the corner of his mouth slightly. No wonder the two children came in. You wouldn’t have guessed it, but the male protagonist was quite considerate. He knew that she was uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to talk to the old lady. Otherwise, she really didn’t know how to start the conversation!
"Third sister-in-law, you and third brother must continue to be together. I don't want you to leave." As she said that, Pei Tiantian stretched out her hands and hugged Ji Zhisui's waist tightly, her voice choked with sobs.
She really liked her third sister-in-law, liked the food she cooked, liked sleeping with her, and liked the reassuring smell of her.
