An Jianwen watched her pick up the small shovel and start digging the hole, then he realized that she was not joking.
He quickly stepped forward to stop her, "Xiao Ci, you're too young, forget about the roasted sweet potatoes."
If the entire manor was set on fire, it would be a serious crime.
An Ci raised his shovel and asked without looking up, "Is there any law that says you can't roast sweet potatoes if you're too young?"
An Jianwen choked.
An Ci continued, "Don't worry, Brother Wen, I've seen it on TV. Roasting sweet potatoes is very simple."
In her previous life, she often went to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs, so she did have some skills in baking things.
An Jianwen looked down at the hole she had dug, his brows furrowed.
"...Or let's just forget it." He was still a little scared.
An Ci stopped what he was doing, raised his eyebrows, and smiled, "Brother Jianwen, I saw a sentence on TV, practice is the only criterion for testing truth."
An Jianwen, “…”
Baked sweet potatoes are... the truth?
His reaction was slow for once, "What brother? Call me brother."
"Okay, if you roast sweet potatoes with me, I'll call you brother. Otherwise, I'll call you Wendi from now on." An Ci threatened righteously.
"Have you thought about it, Brother Wen?"
Seeing the smile in the child's eyes, An Jianwen felt that she was definitely capable of doing such a thing, so between the two titles of "Brother Wen" and "Brother Wen", he decisively chose the former.
"Okay, but I have to light the fire."
An Ci agreed readily.
An Jianwen asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"Move a few stones over there." An Ci changed his hand and continued digging the hole.
An Jianwen resigned himself to his fate and walked over to move the stone.
At first, An Jianwen thought An Ci was just joking. He looked at her putting the sweet potatoes into the dug hole and then piling up the stones in an orderly manner, with a look of surprise on his face.
Will she really?
"Light it up." An Ci took out a lighter from his bag and handed it to him.
An Jianwen took the lighter and hesitated, "I lit it?"
An Ci said "hmm".
An Jianwen made up his mind and decided to die.
The match was lit and ignited. The flame reflected into his eyes and An Jianwen looked slightly stunned.
"Okay, wait for the food." An Ci didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, and just sat down.
An Jianwen lowered his eyelashes and remained silent for a long time. He then spoke in a hoarse voice, "How did you know I didn't go to class?"
An Ci didn't hide it from him, "Brother Yao told me."
An Jianwen twitched his lips, his smile looking pale and weak, "He should have told you about my father."
An Ci nodded.
"Then why did you come to see me?" As he said this, a hint of loneliness flashed in An Jianwen's eyes.
As soon as the news of his father's accident spread, many people avoided his family like the plague. He was not stupid. Although An Yiyao and the others didn't say anything on the surface, they actually kept their distance from him.
"So what? You're not your father." An Ci crossed his legs, one hand supporting his chin, his eyes pale yet bright. "As long as I think you're fine, that's all."
She was obviously several years younger than him, but she comforted him instead. An Jianwen felt warm in his heart, but when he thought of his father who had been captured, his eyes became sore.
No matter how strict his father was with him, he was still his biological father. Without him, his family would be broken up.
He lowered his head and tears fell down.
Seeing him crying softly, An Ci said nothing, moved closer to him, raised his hand and patted his back gently.
Call her heartless or cruel, An Rui wanted to kill her and covet her grandfather's position as the head of the family. Even if they let him go this time, people like him would only hold a grudge and be ready to bite them back at any time.
Therefore, An Rui cannot be released.
After a long time, An Jianwen stopped crying and wiped his tears with his sleeves. His eyes were swollen like walnuts and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Xiao Ci, that..."
"I didn't see anything." Seeing his embarrassment, An Ci interrupted him.
At the same time, the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes filled the air, and when the wind blew, the aroma became even more tempting.
"The sweet potatoes should be ready. I'll go dig them out and take a look." She turned around, picked up a stick on the ground and separated the firewood.
An Jianwen was once again warmed by her thoughtfulness and stepped forward, "Let me do it."
After putting out the fire, the two dug out all the sweet potatoes. It was An Jianwen's first time eating roasted sweet potatoes, and he was a little at a loss as to where to start looking at the layer of black charcoal on the surface of the sweet potatoes.
"How do you eat this?"
"Just eat it with your mouth." An Ci took out two pairs of gloves from the bag, put one on himself, and threw the other to him. "But if you want to eat it with the skin, I have no objection."
After she finished speaking, she picked up a sweet potato and peeled it.
An Jianwen watched for a while, and seeing that she was almost done peeling, he picked up the sweet potato and peeled it.
When he looked up, the child opposite him had already started eating. He couldn't help but ask her, "Is it delicious?"
The freshly baked sweet potatoes were a little hot. An Ci said vaguely, "Try it yourself and you'll know."
An Jianwen originally had no expectations for this black-looking sweet potato. He took a small bite and found it fragrant and sticky, with a hint of charcoal-grilled aroma, and tasted quite good.
His eyes lit up and he took another bite of the sweet potato.
"Is it delicious?" This time it was An Ci who asked.
He nodded, "Well, this is the best sweet potato I've ever tasted."
Seeing his expression of genuine delight, An Ci smiled and said, "So they say practice makes perfect."
After hearing this, An Jianwen couldn't help but laugh.
Halfway through the meal, An Ci suddenly remembered Fugui, whom she had forgotten. She looked around and finally her eyes fell on the white shadow lying beside the fence.
