Seeing his elder brother looking in the direction he was looking, Zhang Xing explained.
"Oh, I'm teaching them Chinese Pinyin. I don't have time during the day, so I can only put in more effort at night."
"Just study, why close the door so tightly? It's not that cold now."
Xiao Yunfei glanced at Zhang Xing, feeling a little disappointed with him.
Zhang Xing said confidently.
"I'm just worried that it will be too noisy and disturb the children."
"Are you really worried about affecting the children?"
"What else?"
Zhang Xing asked back.
He felt that Xiao Yunfei was in a bad mood, and he didn't know why, so he couldn't help but frown.
"They won't learn if they don't read aloud, and if they don't close the door, they'll definitely disturb the children. Just now, the children were reciting poems in the living room. If they don't close the door, they'll disturb each other."
Xiao Yunfei realized it later and looked up to ask.
"them?"
"Yes, them."
Zhang Xing didn't understand and repeated it subconsciously.
Xiao Yunfei pushed him aside and walked in to take a look.
Wow, why are there so many people?
In addition to Xu Xiuli, there were six men and four women in the study. They were all young people from their village, and were selected by Zhang Xing to become military doctors in the future.
The children didn’t say there were so many people in the study just now.
He misunderstood.
He asked, feeling a little awkward for a moment.
"Well, it's okay. Go ahead and learn. I'm going to make hot pot. Do you want to eat it?"
"Eat, I eat!" Zhang Xing, who was behind him, immediately approached him and said excitedly, "Brother, I want spicy food. Add more shrimp paste. I love it."
What a foodie.
Xu Xiuli also quietly raised her hand and said.
"I want to eat something too."
She gets craving for hotpot when it comes to it.
Su Miaomiao had given her family hot pot base before, and she cooked it at home, and it was delicious.
But she also heard from Meng Xiangyu that Su Miaomiao's hot pot is more delicious, with more ingredients and a rich variety.
Xiao Yunfei didn't know what happened between Xu Xiuli and Su Miaomiao at noon. He just thought that Xu Xiuli might be a little embarrassed as a guest, so she behaved cautiously.
He nodded.
"Okay, I'll call you when it's ready. You guys can come and have some too. It'll be more fun when there are more people around."
The others waved their hands and said.
"No, no, we're already full at night. If we eat any more, we won't be able to sleep."
It was a blessing that Zhang Xing was willing to spend time teaching them to read and develop their skills. How could they take advantage of this opportunity to eat and drink for free at his house? That would be too shameless.
And their bellies are indeed full.
Ever since the village started eating from the same pot, they have been able to eat well and have enough food every time.
My living conditions improved immediately, I had enough food in my stomach, and I felt extremely happy every day.
Seeing them say this, Xiao Yunfei stopped trying to persuade them.
Zhang Xing raised his hand to check the time, then looked up and said.
"It's getting late. Let's stop here for today and go back to bed."
After sending them out the door, Zhang Xing turned around, closed the door, and locked it with a padlock.
There are so many good things in the yard now that I have to lock the door every day. After all, I have to be on guard against others.
Back in the house, Zhang Xing went into the kitchen and prepared ingredients with Xiao Yunfei.
"I'll go help them too."
As Xu Xiuli was about to stand up, Su Miaomiao, who was sitting next to her, grabbed her wrist.
"No, just take a rest. The two of them are busy enough. Look, I haven't even moved."
"Do men often go into the kitchen in your house?"
Xu Xiuli was a little curious. In her impression, it was usually women who were busy in the kitchen. There were also couples who cooked together, but she rarely saw a woman doing nothing and waiting to eat while letting the man cook in the kitchen.
"Not often, because their cooking isn't as good as mine."
So Su Miaomiao went into the kitchen not because cooking was a woman's job, but because her cooking was delicious.
At this time, Xu Xiuli heard Su Miaomiao say again.
"But making hot pot is no problem. I have already cooked the base. They just need to prepare the ingredients. It doesn't require any technical skills, and what they make won't be bad."
"Did you make all the base ingredients? Also the ones you gave my family before?"
Of course not. What she gave them were all ready-made meals she bought in the mall. Only the food she ate at home was cooked by her herself.
Although she really wanted to, she couldn't say that.
"Yes, but it's a little different. The ones I gave you need to take preservation into consideration, so there may be slight differences in taste."
"So that's how it is. No wonder my husband said the hot pot we had at your house was better."
Su Miaomiao felt it was too late, so she asked the children to go upstairs to sleep.
The little ones were all very obedient and jumped back to their rooms.
Xu Xiuli looked at the children's backs and said with envy.
"Your child is really obedient, unlike those rebellious children in my family. They are difficult to control and have been spoiled by my husband and his grandparents."
These five children are very obedient, but they are too obedient. Sometimes they are so obedient that it makes people feel distressed.
Only children who grow up being spoiled dare to be willful, but these five children are different. Even though they are spoiled by their family members every day, they often feel uneasy due to lack of security and dare not become arrogant.
The ingredients were ready, and Zhang Xing asked them to come over for dinner.
Two men wearing aprons were standing by the dining table fiddling with the ingredients. Xu Xiuli found it pleasing to the eye and couldn't help but envy Su Miaomiao's good life.
At the dinner table, Xu Xiuli said.
"Sister, I see the sofa in the study is very big. Can I sleep in the study tonight?"
"Of course, but don't you want to sleep in the bed with me?"
