When Xu Nuo was around, Li Xian always prepared a very lavish meal.
The clear broth is rich and flavorful, and the meat is sweet and tender. When mixed with soy sauce, vinegar, and chopped green onions, it makes an excellent dish to eat with rice.
Fry the pork cracklings in oil until golden brown and crispy, sprinkle with a little salt, and every bite is bursting with meaty flavor.
The stir-fried bok choy and steamed eggs with minced meat were a very satisfying meal for the two of them.
Xu Nuo stopped moving after eating her fill. Seeing this, Li Xian went to the door and brought out a round, plump thing.
"watermelon!"
Like a child seeing candy, Xu Nuo pursed her lips and looked at Li Xian with anticipation.
Li Xian knew she was craving it, so he smiled and said, "I'll go open it."
No watermelons are grown in Luxian Village. This one was brought back from the black market yesterday. It's quite big, and you can tell it's sweet just by looking at the rind.
Li Xian cut it into small pieces, put it in a bowl, and handed it to Xu Nuo.
She took it, held the peel in both hands, and like a little hamster, took a bite from the reddest and thinnest part.
Her sweet, round eyes curved into little crescent moons.
There's nothing more enjoyable than having something sweet after a meal.
When Xu Nuo finished eating the watermelon, Li Xian also finished all the food on the table. Seeing that her hands were stained with watermelon juice, he picked her up from behind and helped her off the chair.
Xu Nuo held out her hand to him: "I need to wash my hands."
Li Xian didn't mind that her hands were sticky; his large, dry, and warm hands took her small hands in his.
I took her to the yard to wash her hands.
After washing their hands, the two of them watered the flowerbed outside while digesting their food.
Xu Nuo looked at the flower seedlings and said with a smile, "Little flower, little flower, you must grow up quickly."
Little Flower: I'm big enough already. There's no one bigger than us in the whole village.
Then Xu Nuo had already pulled Li Xian and skipped and hopped into the room.
The room was clean and tidy, and on the table was the math test she had just finished. Xu Nuo decided to finish the test.
Seeing that she was sitting obediently in the chair doing her homework, Li Xian didn't disturb her. He opened the door and went out to wash the dishes.
Then she quietly cleaned the kitchen.
When I pushed the door open and saw Xu Nuo still working on that test paper, I knew she was probably doing one question and then playing for a while.
I glanced at the draft paper, and sure enough, there were several drawings on it…
A round-headed, pumpkin-shaped pig?
Xu Nuo placed the prepared test paper on the other side, looking like a little teacher, and tugged at Li Xian's sleeve: "Li Xian, come and do the test paper. You can ask me if you don't understand anything."
"good."
Li Xian obediently sat down, his tall body squeezing somewhat awkwardly in front of the small table, and picked up his pen to write and draw earnestly on the test paper.
Turning around, he saw Xu Nuo smiling as she sketched the pumpkin she had just drawn on a draft paper. He gave her a helpless hug and whispered a reminder: "You're playing around again."
Oh, Xu Nuo belatedly flipped the draft paper over and said firmly, "We need to get serious!"
A soft laugh came from beside her ear. Xu Nuo turned her head and gently pinched his cheek: "Still laughing at me? I won't teach you anything you don't know later."
Li Xian surrendered with both hands raised. The two of them wrote for a while, and Xu Nuo got stuck on an extra credit question. She touched her braid in frustration, then nudged Li Xian, who was diligently working on the problem, and muttered, "That's how I calculated it, how come I can't fit it in after checking it once? Humph..."
Li Xian was not bothered at all. He chuckled and pulled her head into his arms, glanced at her test paper, and pointed to a spot for her to see.
"Nuonuo, there's a mistake here."
Harmful.
Who tutors whom?
