Erdan didn't know what Xu Haonan was laughing at, he just thought his laugh was silly. He listened twice, but it wasn't over yet. His stomach was growling with hunger, and the smell from the pot was really tempting.
He couldn't help it and shouted twice.
Xu Haonan came out of his fantasy and saw Erdan blinking his big eyes and looking at him in confusion. He felt a little embarrassed.
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, Haonan will serve it now. Okay, you take this out carefully, and I'll bring the soup and it will be complete."
Erdan didn't care what Xu Haonan was thinking just now. When he heard that it was time to eat, he happily picked up the dish and paid close attention to the situation under his feet.
After Erdan went out, Xu Haonan patted his face.
"Wake up! It's too frivolous to think about such far-flung things in broad daylight."
Although Shen Zhizhu often said these words in his heart, he never said them out loud. Besides, it was one thing for girls to think so, but it was another thing for boys to think so.
Besides... they are not even husband and wife yet, and it would be too rude to think about children without considering this.
Xu Haonan regrouped himself and held the prepared meatball soup. The dinner was about to begin.
"Come on, come on, auntie, Erdan, don't be polite, eat as much as you want."
Shen Zhizhu invited them to eat. Seeing that Aunt Li was embarrassed to pick up food, she used the serving chopsticks to pick up food for Aunt Li.
At first, Aunt Li politely said thank you, but then she generously took the food with her bowl. Then she went to the back, protected her bowl with one hand, and put the other hand in front of her to refuse.
"That's enough, Xiaozhu, stop picking up food for Auntie. The bowl is almost full."
Shen Zhizhu was still enthusiastic. On his chopsticks was a piece of chewy braised pork with some soup on it, which was reflecting light and looked very tempting.
"Hurry up, auntie, this is the only piece left. If you don't catch it, it will fall off. Hurry up! I can't hold it anymore."
Influenced by Shen Zhizhu's tone, Aunt Li wanted to refuse but was afraid that the braised pork would fall to the ground and the gravy would drip onto the beautiful table.
Subconsciously, I loosened my hand that was protecting the bowl.
"Why not put it in your..." bowl.
Before Aunt Li could finish her words, Shen Zhizhu successfully put the braised pork into her bowl with amazing speed.
Smiling like a winner.
"Auntie, don't be shy about picking up the food. Just pick up what you want to eat yourself. Otherwise, it will be really hard for me to control my enthusiasm."
Aunt Li was a little amused and helpless. She knew that Shen Zhizhu did this just to make her feel more relaxed.
"Okay, I'm really scared of you. The way you pick up vegetables is so scary that you can be called an elderly person in the village."
Shen Zhizhu thought of it as a compliment to himself and was not bothered. He took the fish meat from Xu Haonan very naturally.
I ate with gusto, then touched my stomach with my hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I didn’t gain weight.
It’s because I’ve been busy and tired recently, otherwise if I continued to eat like this, I would definitely gain 30 pounds.
Xu Haonan noticed Shen Zhizhu's actions and picked up another piece of fish meat with the bones removed and put it in her bowl.
"You're not fat, eat."
Shen Zhizhu was delighted. He looked at Xu Haonan with a smile in his eyes and ate the piece of fish in one bite.
"Oh, Erdan can't watch this."
Erdan covered his eyes with his little hands, but there was a big gap between his middle finger and ring finger, and his big black eyes stared at the two of them without blinking.
There is something unpleasant about this.
Aunt Li patted Erdan on the back, then grabbed Erdan's ear and lifted it lightly with discretion.
"You little bastard, you're the only one who can say that, right? You're so clever."
"Ouch! I know I'm wrong. It hurts. Let go."
After all, they didn't really want to beat him or teach him a lesson, so they stopped after a few words and went back to eating happily.
"The exam is in two days. Are you nervous? Do you have confidence? Oh, my heart, I get so nervous just thinking about it."
Shen Zhizhu took a sip of the meatball soup and let out a satisfied sigh.
He also served Xu Haonan a bowl and even scooped out a few more meatballs.
"It's OK. I'm not that nervous. Maybe I won't feel it for the next two days. But maybe I will be nervous during the exam."
What she said was a bit euphemistic. In his previous life, Shen Zhizhu had taken many certificates and participated in many examinations.
Besides, she was more prepared than ever in her life, so there was no reason to be nervous.
"I am a little nervous."
Surprisingly, Xu Haonan actually said that he was nervous, because you couldn't tell from his face or his usual behavior.
Every day he got up to chop wood and sweep the ground. They ate lunch in the city and came home in the evening to do housework as usual. Cooking was also his responsibility.
Most of the family expenses were covered by the money Shen Zhizhu earned from Yishe, and Xu Haonan could no longer go hunting in the mountains as often as before.
The person Erdan admires most is Xu Haonan. He believes that a man who can defeat a wild boar can definitely overcome all difficulties.
"Brother Haonan, you actually get nervous too."
As expected, he got hit on the head by Aunt Li.
"I'm asking this. Brother Haonan is also a human being. Why can't you be nervous and eat your meal properly?"
Erdan made an "oh" sound and said nothing more, but his curious eyes continued to follow them closely.
Aunt Li asked with concern.
"Oh, it's normal to be nervous. After all, the college entrance examination will be resumed this year after a break for so many years. But I believe in you. You can definitely do it."
Shen Zhizhu originally thought that he would not worry about Xu Haonan, because in his previous life, Xu Haonan was among the first batch of people who took the college entrance examination and passed.
This life will probably be like this too.
But after spending so much time with him, I still can't help but worry.
It’s not that I’m worried that the other person won’t pass the exam, but I’m worried that the other person will have great emotional ups and downs because of this incident, and won’t be able to eat or sleep well.
Shen Zhizhu patted Xu Haonan's hand comfortingly.
"Don't worry, I'll always be with you."
Xu Haonan felt Shen Zhizhu's sincerity and felt warm in his heart, but he was just a little nervous but not afraid.
"I'm fine. I've never taken an exam before, so I'm a little nervous. My grades in school are pretty good, so I think it shouldn't be a problem."
His grades are among the best in the entire school, but when the college entrance examination is open, we don’t know how many people will take it, so it is hard to predict whether he will pass.
Aunt Li has absolute confidence in these two people.
"Anyway, I have a hunch that you two will be able to do it. It's my fault for asking such questions when you are so happy. Let's eat."
These past few days, Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan went to bed very early, went out for a walk every day, and occasionally went to the pond to catch fish.
