Chapter 12



"Is it okay for me to call you that?" the girl asked softly.

The man nodded, his voice becoming a little hoarse, "Okay."

After that, neither of them spoke a word. The rustling sound of wrapping dumplings was heard along with the interlaced breathing of the two people.

With Lu Jing's help, all the pots of glutinous rice, pickled meat, and pickled egg yolks were quickly eaten up.

Place the wrapped dumplings one by one in the pot, turn on the fire, and start cooking the dumplings.

The water in the pot quickly boiled, bubbling, and green triangular rice dumplings were cooking in the boiling water.

Shen Li put the remaining red beans and soybeans into the grinding pan and poured in a little water.

She shook the grinding disc with her hands, and soon the soy milk was ground.

Lu Jing took four bowls and poured the ground soy milk into each bowl.

The fragrance of banana leaves mixed with the sweet aroma of soft and fragrant glutinous rice, as well as the savory aroma of salty egg yolk and meat also wafted in the air.

"The rice dumplings are cooked." Shen Li said with a smile, and she was about to use a spoon to scoop up the rice dumplings one by one.

"Boil it and bring it to the plate." Lu Jing took the iron spoon from Shen Li's hand and scooped up the rice dumplings one by one and put them on the plate.

"Then let's go see the children." Shen Li felt that she had nothing to do next, so she spoke.

"Yeah." Lu Jing nodded.

Shen Li walked towards the second floor.

At this time, the two children woke up.

"Good morning." Shen Li stood at the stairs, looking at the two little kids who had just sat up from the bed.

At this moment, Duoduo was wearing a little skirt, sitting on the bed, with two tufts of hair on her head.

Xiao Minghui had already put on a green vest and black pants. He squatted in front of Duoduo's bed and used his dark little hands to put on the shoes for Duoduo's little feet.

Xiao Ming was clumsy and put on his shoes carefully.

"Come here." Shen Li walked over quickly, bent down, picked up Duoduo's little black shoes, and was about to put them on Duoduo's right foot.

At this moment, Xiao Minghui stood in front of Shen Li, staring at her vigilantly with his dark eyes.

Shen Li smiled helplessly, "I'm just putting shoes on Duoduo, don't be so nervous."

Seeing that Shen Li had no intention of hurting Duoduo, Xiao Minghui finally moved away.

Shen Li quickly put the shoes on Duoduo's feet.

Li Cuicui is really incompetent as a nanny.

The child's shoes were pitch black, and he didn't even know to clean them.

It's already eight o'clock in the morning, and Li Cuicui hasn't arrived yet.

Soon, the shoes were put on.

"Duoduo, can auntie carry you out of bed?" Shen Li curved her lips and gave Duoduo a friendly smile.

Duoduo blinked at Shen Li with her big dark eyes.

She ate the meat cooked by the beautiful auntie and a bowl of delicious noodles.

The beautiful auntie cooks such delicious food and smiles at me so gently, she must not be a bad person!

Duoduo held the shabby little bear in her arms and nodded obediently.

Shen Li stretched out her arms and took Xiao Duoduo off the bed.

Little Duoduo is already three years old, but she is still very light, even not as heavy as some one-year-old children.

놙You only need one arm to pick up Xiao Duoduo깊.

Shen Li felt sorry for the child. She looked malnourished. She would have to make more delicious food for her in the future to replenish her nutrition.

The moment Duoduo was held in Shen Li's arms, her big eyes like black grapes blinked, her eyes full of confusion.

The beautiful aunt’s embrace is so warm...

It's as warm as a mother's embrace...

Her mother died when she was a child. Other children have mothers, and she wants one too...

She dreams of being coaxed gently by her mother, kissed by her mother, and hugged by her mother.

And now, her dream seems to have come true.

Duoduo's slender little hands tentatively hugged Xiao Shenli's neck. Seeing that the beautiful aunt was not unhappy, she was satisfied. Her dark eyes were bright, and she rubbed her little body against the beautiful aunt's arms, getting closer.

"Breakfast is ready. Auntie, please carry Duoduo downstairs." Shen Li curved her lips and smiled tenderly.

When Xiao Duoduo heard the word "breakfast", her big, dark, soft eyes lit up immediately. She stretched out her pink little tongue and licked her little mouth.

Last night's dinner was the best thing she had ever eaten, what would breakfast be like? Would it be just as good as last night's meal?

She likes pretty aunties!

Lu Minghui, who was standing by, was stunned when he saw Shen Li carrying Xiao Duoduo downstairs.

In the past, my sister was very resistant to strangers. She was unwilling to take the initiative to contact anyone, and did not like to be disturbed by anyone. Even my father, my sister never got close to her. She retreated into her own little world all day long, like a little snail curled up in its own shell.

And now, Sister Snail seems to be opening her heart to this beautiful girl.

She was actually willing to take the initiative to hug this beautiful girl.

"Minghui, let's go downstairs." Shen Li turned around and glanced at Lu Minghui.

Lu Minghui finally reacted and quickly followed him.

When Shen Li came downstairs with the child in her arms, Lu Jing had already placed the rice dumplings on a plate, a fried egg and a cup of soy milk on each seat.

Shen Li sat in her seat holding Xiao Duoduo, Xiao Minghui sat beside her, and she could only sit with Lu Jing.

"Try the rice dumplings made by your Aunt Shen and see if they are delicious." Lu Jing said in a low voice.

Shen Li opened a zongzi, unraveled the silk thread wrapped around it bit by bit, turned over the zongzi leaves, and revealed the white and tender glutinous rice inside.

The glutinous rice mixed with red beans has a crystal clear luster under the sunlight, and the grains are full and dense, which makes people's appetite increase.

Shen Li handed the glutinous rice dumplings to Duoduo, "Duoduo, try it and see if you like it."

Duoduo opened her little mouth and took a bite. The moment she ate it, her big, dark and clear eyes instantly became sparkling!

So delicious!

She took the rice dumpling and took a big bite.

Shen Li peeled another zongzi and handed it to Lu Minghui.

Lu Minghui, however, said with a straight face, "You can do it yourself."

He picked up a zongzi and started to unwrap it.

Shen Li didn't take it seriously. She knew that Xiao Minghui was not easy to approach. It would take time to get him to open up and get along with him harmoniously.

But it doesn't matter, she has plenty of time and can take her time.

"Salty rice dumplings are delicious, too." Lu Jing opened a salty meat rice dumpling, took a bite, and said.

Lu Minghui, who was standing by, raised his dark eyes and looked at Lu Jingru, his face frowning.

He had never seen Father Lu praise anyone.

Mr. Lu seems to like this beautiful girl.

In this case, is this woman destined to be their stepmother?

Then what will happen to him and his sister in the future...

As he thought about it, Lu Minghui felt heavy-hearted, and the rice dumpling in his mouth no longer tasted delicious.

Lu Minghui stood up and walked upstairs with his thin body.

"Minghui, are you full?" Lu Jing asked in a low voice.

"Well, let's go upstairs to do our homework." Lu Minghui said, his voice a little low.

Lu Jingzhi was a little puzzled. Why did this child only eat so little at noon today?

He clearly had a big bowl of noodles and ate quite a bit of meat last night.

Lu Jingxiao didn't think much about it and continued eating.

Shen Li sighed in her heart, she knew that Lu Minghui didn't like her coming.

But it doesn't matter, she is confident that she can conquer this sinister little brat.
