Chapter 116 This Kind of Romance
Be a judge!
Youyou and Jinghe were immediately excited. They took the skewers and started to taste them very seriously, taking a bite from the left and the right.
Shen Nian'an whispered to Xu Qingsong beside him: "Brother Wang will definitely win."
Liu Wangxue was standing close by and heard it. She asked quietly, "Why?"
Gu Qingyue couldn't help laughing and whispered, "They both have a common problem..."
The two children looked at each other and said in unison: "Uncle Wang's food is delicious!"
Gu Qingyue continued, "I don't really like eating vegetables."
Xu Qingsong suddenly remembered the last time in Taoyuan: "But I remember that they enjoyed the iron pot stew last time, didn't they eat it very happily?"
Shen Nian'an said, "Because it's cooked thoroughly and covered with mashed potatoes."
If you want them to think vegetables are delicious, both the method and the taste are important. Even if they have meat and seasonings, they still think that grilling them directly has a weird taste.
Tao Huayu rolled up his nonexistent sleeves again and said, "I am Uncle Nanshan's last disciple, a master who has already completed his apprenticeship. I absolutely cannot embarrass my master! Brother Wang, can we compete again?"
This time he cooked according to the children's taste. Losing? How could it be possible! He was the one who conquered two children with his iron pot stew!
"Then, let's compete!" Wang Keng waved his arm. Damn the desire to win between these men! The few people who already knew the truth watched the two chefs who took the initiative to battle each chose a skewer and started to show off their skills. Tao Huayu chose the one with vegetables.
Xu Qingsong clapped his hands: "Wow, the winner is decided immediately."
Du Yunkai caught a glimpse of his movements and thought there was something wrong, so he came over to ask, and the two whispered a few words. Then Du Yunkai wandered among the crowd and spread the news.
Immediately afterwards, sympathetic and compassionate glances were cast towards Tao Huayu who was concentrating on his work.
Tao Huayu was doomed to lose. As expected, Youyou and Jinghe once again chose the grilled chicken wings produced by Wang Keng.
Tao Huayu acted as if he was greatly shocked and was about to cry.
Everyone tacitly decided to hide the truth from him.
Only two caring children comforted him and brought him some fruit.
The oil on the skewer rubbed Youyou's face into a little cat shape. He said, "Uncle Huayu, please don't cry. It's embarrassing for adults to cry."
Tao Huayu ate the pineapple he handed over: "Thank you!" But he did not feel comforted.
Only Jinghe had good intentions. He motioned for him to lean over, and then whispered the reason in his ear: "So, Uncle Huayu, it's not that your cooking is not delicious. Don't be sad."
Tao Huayu instantly regained his balance, hugged Jing He and rubbed his head. He said, with his skills and understanding, how could he lose two games in a row!
Du Yunkai motioned Shen Nian'an to look over here: "Your son is really kind."
Shen Nian'an smiled, and Li Yu silently complained beside him: "It's still the heart of an adult."
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
On the grill, Liu Wangxue was grilling two skewers of meat without any seasoning, as snacks for Peng Peng and Xiao Ci.
The three of them had dinner downstairs before Liu Wangxue brought them up. But seeing how deliciously the humans were eating, they also became greedy and started to make a fuss for more.
Liu Wangxue first fed them some fruit, which satisfied Gua Gua, but Peng Peng and Xiao Ci still wanted to eat meat. Fortunately, she was prepared, so she grilled a skewer for each one, which did not require any skills, as long as they were grilled until cooked.
The skylight gradually faded, and the colored lights at the base of the fence became brighter. Youyou squatted beside it as if she had discovered a new world, stretched out her finger and poked the star-shaped one.
"Brother, look, are these stars in the sky?" he asked Jinghe.
Jinghe said, "No, this is a lamp. It will light up when it is plugged in."
"It's the stars," Youyou firmly believed, "It was my sister who picked the stars from the sky!"
Jinghe pointed to the "crescent moon" next to the "star": "How do you explain this?"
“This…” Youyou turned his head and his eyes were immediately drawn to the night sky. He pointed his finger and said loudly, “Wow! What a big moon! Look, brother!”
The adults who were concentrating on eating, drinking and chatting all looked up and saw a full moon hanging in the sky. They had not realized that the moonlight was pouring down just now, but when they looked up, they saw it as if the frost had just been released and the bright light filled the world.
Tao Huayu looked at Lan Xiaoxi: "Last time you made a wish, what do you want to do this time?" Thinking back, he still felt a little embarrassed as if he had been drunk, luckily he didn't drink too much today.
Li Yu still held the string in his hand and asked, "Did you make a wish last time? Why don't I remember?"
Yue Cheng laughed at him and stretched out his hand to show the size of a can: "Two cans of beer, drunk and unconscious, what else do you want to remember?"
Du Yunkai said, "How can Xiaoyu not drink?"
Wen Xi defended him: "He is still a student, why should he drink!"
Liu Wangxue asked Li Yu with a smile: "Do you want to take this opportunity to make up for your wish?"
Li Yu waved his hands and said, forget it, it would be quite embarrassing if he was alone.
But Xiao Youzi didn't have these thoughts and ran to Gu Qingyue: "Mom, can I make a wish?"
Gu Qingyue asked him: "What wish do you want to make?"
Youyou clasped her hands together devoutly and closed her eyes: "Moon, please bless me and don't let me go to kindergarten~"
What a simple wish! The adults laughed and teased him, asking him why.
Xiao Youzi heard it all yesterday. His mom and dad discussed that when his brother goes back to school, they will also send him to kindergarten. Before he came here, he heard from the neighbor's little brother that the kindergarten was full of crying children, which was very annoying!
Shen Nian'an and Gu Qingyue decided to discuss it with him slowly after returning home.
Xu Qingsong glanced at the nearby rice fields and suddenly said, "Everyone, please pay attention. Surprises and romance are coming soon—"
"Where's the surprise?"
"What's romantic?"
Everyone gathered together, very curious.
Xu Qingsong pointed forward and said, "Be patient and wait a moment."
Everyone suddenly stopped talking, looking at the scenery under the moonlight, waiting for an unknown surprise and romance.
After a while, Youyou lost her patience and wanted to talk to Shen Nian'an: "Dad... Wow! How come the stars are rising from the ground? There are so many of them!"
"firefly?"
"firefly!"
“Oh my god—”
Xu Qingsong was very satisfied with the reaction of some city dwellers. This happened every year at this time of year. In the past few days, he would go to the rice fields or rooftops to observe almost every night. He thought that tonight he would open some people's eyes.
He asked everyone, "Are you all full?"
Liu Wangxue immediately understood and continued, "Going for a walk?"
“Go, go, go!”
A group of people moved everything down from the roof as quickly as possible, put it in the kitchen first, closed the door to prevent wild cats from running in, and cleaned it up when they came back.
The moonlight was so bright that there was no need for a flashlight. Adults, children, and even the three pets followed, and they walked out of the yard and headed towards the path in the field.
