When Cui Fangzheng and Kong Da saw Zhang Xing, they smiled and strode towards him.
He said enthusiastically as he walked.
"Zhang Xing, we were just talking about your sister-in-law! Her cooking skills are amazing. As soon as we walked into the yard, we were attracted by the tempting aroma of the food. We were so greedy that our mouths were almost watering!"
I see! They were just praising my sister-in-law’s cooking.
Sure enough, no one can resist the temptation of delicious food.
Zhang Xing secretly felt lucky that his sister-in-law's cooking skills were really great. If his sister-in-law claimed that her cooking was the best in the world, no one would dare to claim to be the best.
Hearing others praising his sister-in-law, Zhang Xing's heart was filled with pride, and he said proudly.
"You're right, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are really good. I never get tired of eating her every day, and she always comes up with all kinds of new and unique ways to cook for us. I'm so happy to live with my brother, sister-in-law, and their whole family."
When everyone talks about other things, they may fall into silence due to lack of common topics, but once they talk about Su Miaomiao's cooking skills, everyone immediately becomes active and expresses their opinions and feelings. The atmosphere is warm and cheerful.
After taking a shower, Xiao Yunfei came back from the backyard and saw Zhang Xing and Cui Fangzheng chatting animatedly around a dustpan filled with medicine.
Zhang Xing was chatting while collecting the medicine. Cui Fangzheng and Kong Da were not idle either. They also helped Zhang Xing collect the medicine. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Zhang Xing was not like him. He seldom went out and hadn't made many friends in the village since he came here. Xiao Yunfei was worried that Zhang Xing was getting suffocated.
At this moment, Xiao Yunfei was very happy to see Zhang Xing and Cui Fangzheng chatting happily, and he even felt a little reluctant to disturb them.
But Zhang Xing seemed to have a premonition and suddenly turned his head to look in his direction. When he saw him, a light flashed in his eyes and he greeted him with a smile.
"Brother, are you done washing? Brother Cui and Uncle Kong just arrived, and the three of us are here discussing the dishes that sister-in-law cooked."
Xiao Yunfei nodded to Chui Fengzheng and Kong Da as a greeting, and pointed into the house and said.
"Okay, you guys go ahead and chat. I'll go in and ask when the meal will be ready."
Xiao Yunfei opened the door and entered the room, and immediately saw Su Miaomiao busy at the pot.
Several pots in the house were cooking at the same time. The temperature on the floor outside was a bit high. Su Miaomiao's skin was white and pink from the heat, and there were small beads of sweat on her forehead.
He raised the corner of his mouth and walked over.
He stared straight at Su Miaomiao, but spoke to the children who were making a fire.
"You don't need to light the fire anymore. Go and rest for a while, wash your hands and prepare to eat."
Su Miaomiao only realized that Xiao Yunfei had arrived when she heard his voice.
She looked back and smiled, then asked softly.
"Do you feel better after taking a bath?"
"Well, it's really nice to take a shower. Otherwise, I'd be smelling like fish. Thanks to you, showering is so convenient in our family. If you hadn't taken us there, I'm sure I wouldn't have known that I could shower standing up."
Is Xiao Yunfei happy taking a bath?
Su Miaomiao could see that Xiao Yunfei was happy from the bottom of his heart, and she said a little depressed.
"If there weren't restrictions on buying too much every day, I would have moved all the useful things here long ago."
Xiao Yunfei comforted.
"It's okay. It's great to have so many useful things now. There are still many days to come. We have a long way to go."
Xiao Yunfei glanced at the food in the pot and asked.
"Brother Cui and Uncle Kong are already here. When can we have dinner?"
"Right away." Su Miaomiao blinked and thought for a moment before saying, "It will be almost done in five minutes."
"good."
Xiao Yunfei responded, while looking at the fire in the stove, picking up the table and taking the dishes and chopsticks.
Ever since he met Su Miaomiao, he finally understood what "home" meant.
There is no intrigue or swordplay here, only warmth and peace.
He likes this kind of life, just like the warm sun in winter, warm and comfortable.
Although they lived in a dilapidated house and no one knew that he was the great General Xiao who had made great military achievements, he felt extremely happy.
He no longer had to face those hypocritical smiles and flattering words, he just needed to enjoy ordinary life with Su Miaomiao.
If he had a choice, he would definitely choose to be an ordinary person like he is now, working from sunrise to sunset with Su Miaomiao, taking the children to experience the beauty of the world together, tasting delicious food together, and feeling the fireworks of the world together...
But all his relatives in the nine clans are waiting for his rescue, and the people are still suffering because of the dog emperor's inaction. As General Xiao who is deeply loved by the people, he cannot pretend not to see it. If the problem is not resolved, he will never be able to rest in peace for the rest of his life.
This is his fate. Even if he feels helpless, he can only grit his teeth and persevere.
He believed that the light of justice would shine on everyone sooner or later.
…
"The meal is ready. Stop working and wash your hands and eat."
Before the food was served, Su Miaomiao went to call Zhang Xing and the others to eat.
After hearing this, Zhang Xing and the other two quickly put down their work and ran to wash their hands.
Zhang Xing and Kong Da washed their hands and hurried into the house.
Cui Fangzheng was with them, but when he passed by the outer yard, he was stopped by Xiao Yunfei.
"Brother Cui, didn't you want to see what river crabs are? Your sister-in-law specially left a few alive for you to see."
Cui Fangzheng was a little flattered.
Although it’s not a big deal, it feels really good to know that someone remembers what you say and that even if it’s a naive idea, someone cares about it.
He had a feeling of being valued and said with a grin.
"Oh, my sister-in-law is so reliable. She even remembered my little wish for me. Where is the river crab? Let me see it quickly."
Xiao Yunfei bent down, picked up the basin covering the wooden barrel, pointed with his chin and said.
"Here."
Cui Fangzheng stretched his neck curiously and glanced into the bucket.
However, at that moment, his face suddenly changed, he screamed in shock, and his body involuntarily took two steps back.
He widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yunfei with horror.
"Brother Yunfei, are you sure? This isn't some ordinary river crab! It's clearly one of those strange bugs from the river! How could something like this be a delicious river crab? Brother Yunfei must be kidding me."
Xiao Yunfei never expected Cui Fangzheng's reaction to be so big.
But if you think about it carefully, after all, if it weren't for his complete faith in Su Miaomiao, even he himself would probably find it hard to believe that such a creature could be food.
He explained with a helpless smile.
"I'm not kidding you, Brother Cui, this is really a river crab.
