Meeting the man's burning gaze, Xu Jiaojiao recalled the scene that had just happened in the room.
My face couldn't help but feel hot.
Not daring to look any further, she looked away as if nothing had happened.
"Fifth sister, let's eat under the tree today. It's too hot."
Luo Miaofang said as she walked to the water tank.
Just as he was about to scoop a bucket of water to drink, he was stopped by Xu Jiaojiao.
"Mom, I cooled the boiled water. Don't drink it raw. It's easy to get sick."
Hearing this, Luo Miaofang looked at her strangely.
When my little girl came back this time, she seemed like a different person.
If she hadn't seen the red mole, she would have suspected that her daughter had been switched.
But it's a good thing that he's getting better. She used to feel terrible about the way he was before.
"Why are you the same as your grandfather? Why are you so particular?"
"Mom, Grandpa is a doctor, you should listen to what he says."
As she spoke, Xu Jiaojiao had already brought out the water.
He poured one bowl for Luo Miaofang and another bowl for Xu Zhengfa.
When it was the man's turn, she hesitated.
He didn't say anything, just looked at her straight.
The expectation in his eyes was so obvious.
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
She bit her lip, picked up another bowl and filled it with water.
Xu Jiaojiao brought the water in front of him and said, "Drink some water."
Looking at the little face in front of him with a hint of shyness, Qin Shuo's eyes lit up surprisingly.
"Hurry up and answer it!"
Seeing that he didn't take the water and just kept looking at her, Xu Jiaojiao glared at him shyly.
Those bright eyes like water, with a hint of tenderness and anger, carried a hint of indescribable affection as the light rippled.
Qin Shuo was glaring at her until his heart felt like a fire was on fire.
After a pause, he reached out to take the bowl in front of him, put it to his mouth and started drinking.
But the sweet and delicious water could not quench my thirst at all.
After drinking a bowl of water, Qin Shuo felt even thirstier!
But the person who fetched water for him had already run away.
"Qin Shuo, come and eat. Let's have a drink together today."
Under the tree, Luo Miaofang had already moved the table out.
Xu Zhengfa also took out a pot of wine as if it were a treasure and greeted Qin Shuo.
"Okay, I'll come."
Looking at the little woman who was walking in and out, looking very busy, Qin Shuo's smile became even brighter.
After a pause, he stepped forward.
"Let me take this." As he said that, he reached out to take the pot from Xu Jiaojiao's hand.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at the hand that was already on the edge of the pot, was silent for a moment, and finally gave the pot to him.
"Be careful, it's hot." She whispered.
The braised pork had just been cooked for a short time and the pot was still very hot.
"good."
The pleasure in the man's voice was clearly audible.
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
Today she made a braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, and boiled an egg soup.
Luo Miaofang looked at the dishes on the table and felt a sharp pain in her flesh.
I couldn't help but secretly glare at the spendthrift girl.
Is this just the end of the day or what? She ate up two kilograms of meat in just one day.
Under the blood pressure from her mother, Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Then he took her hand and started to act coquettishly, "Mom, I made this braised pork especially for you and Dad. It's so delicious. Come and try it."
Although there are many girls in the family, none of them is as good at coaxing people as she is.
Luo Miaofang was both angry and amused, and nodded her head and said:
"Don't be so extravagant in your life. It's not easy for Qin Shuo to make money."
Xu Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly, looking as if everything she said was right, which left Luo Miaofang speechless.
"Just show off, sit down and eat!"
“Hey!”
Xu Jiaojiao responded, moved a stool and wanted to sit next to Luo Miaofang.
But before he put down the stool, he felt the burning gaze from the opposite side.
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
After a moment of silence, she moved the stool over and sat down next to him.
As soon as I sat down, I felt the man's gaze was frighteningly hot!
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She shouldn't have been so soft-hearted.
But she could feel the man's joyful breath, and somehow her heartbeat became uncontrollable again.
“Dinner is ready!”
Xu Zhengfa couldn't wait any longer, and when he saw everyone was there, he quickly opened the pot.
A rich fragrance wafted out of the earthenware jar, and the old couple stared in amazement.
"This smells so good! I think Fifth Sister's cooking skills are as good as those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants."
Xu Zhengfa praised him and poured Qin Shuo another bowl of wine.
"Come, try the wine your uncle Zhengcai brewed. It's strong enough."
Qin Shuo took the wine respectfully.
He clinked the bowl with Xu's father, then put it to his mouth and took a sip.
“It’s really powerful.”
Xu Zhengfa laughed and asked him to eat meat again.
“This meat is cooked so deliciously!”
Picking up a piece of fat and putting it in his mouth, Xu Zhengfa praised it repeatedly.
Xu Jiaojiao, who was sitting next to Qin Shuo, looked at the pot of fatty braised pork with an embarrassed look on her face.
She made the braised pork, but the meat was bought by Qin Shuo.
Two-thirds of it was fat, and the remaining lean meat was some that she had cut out, but now it had all sunk to the bottom of the pot.
Looking at the greasy fat on it, she didn't dare to touch it.
Only eat eggs and vegetables.
Smelling the delicious aroma, Xu Jiaojiao's mouth was watering.
Suddenly, a piece of bright red lean meat was put into her bowl.
Looking at the fragrant braised pork in the bowl, Xu Jiaojiao was stunned.
Turning around, he saw the other half of the fat that had been cut off in Qin Shuo's bowl.
"Thank you." Xu Jiaojiao said softly.
There is a sweet feeling in my heart.
They had only eaten a stew of braised pork together in a state-owned restaurant, and he knew that he didn't like eating fatty meat.
Looking at the little woman with curved eyebrows beside him, Qin Shuo couldn't help but curl his fingertips.
Then he picked up the wine and took a sip.
The already dry throat became even hotter.
Xu Jiaojiao, who was completely unaware of what was happening, started eating the first piece of braised pork she had ever made in this world.
The rich aroma spreads in the mouth, it is soft and melts in the mouth, lean but not dry.
Xu Jiaojiao ate with great satisfaction.
I don’t know if it’s because the ingredients are better these days or because I haven’t eaten my own braised pork for a long time.
She thought this meat tasted better than any she had ever made before.
After the meal, it was already dark.
"This is an egg, and this is the shrimp your dad caught in the river. I made it into shrimp paste. Add a little while you eat, it's very delicious."
As Luo Miaofang spoke, she put things into her bag.
Xu Jiaojiao quickly stopped her and said, "Mom, no need, you can keep the eggs for yourself."
But Luo Miaofang was determined and held the pocket of the bag tightly, not letting her take it out.
Where had Xu Jiaojiao ever experienced such a situation? There was nothing we could do to her.
After thinking for a while, she took out the twenty yuan and the meat ticket and stuffed them into her pocket, "This is for you!"
"What?"
Luo Miaofang looked puzzled, and when she felt the money in her pocket, her eyes widened!
"You damn bitch! Why are you stuffing money into my pocket? Take it back now!"
As he said this, he was about to stuff the money back into her hands.
Xu Jiaojiao dodged it and said, "This is the money I earned from selling herbs to the pharmacy. Just keep it."
"How can that be? Why don't you give the money you earn to your mother-in-law? Why give it to me?" Luo Miaofang looked disapproving.
Especially since my son-in-law is still here, I’m worried that my daughter will have a hard time living when she returns.
Xu Jiaojiao hid behind Qin Shuo, stuck her head out, and said to her mother, "If you don't accept me, I will come back to take care of you in your old age!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the man's body suddenly become tense!
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
