Chapter 156: Heavy Snow Keeps People

“Okay, then you sit for a while, I’ll go check on the pot.”

Liu Yunshuang didn't notice the disappointed look on Qiao Yiqi's face.

She herself was fine, but she felt that people like Qiao Yiqi were not from the same world as them.

She couldn't take responsibility if it caused any bad impact on his reputation.

The open-air stove outside the east room was used to brine the offal, and it was being cooked over a low fire.

Check on it every once in a while and add some more firewood.

Liu Yunshuang lifted the lid of the pot. There was still quite a lot of soup inside. She stirred it for a while, and the aroma spread instantly.

"It smells so good, what is this?"

Suddenly, Qiao Yiqi appeared behind her.

Liu Yunshuang was startled. How come this person walked without making any sound?

"I braised some pig offal. You can try it later."

"good.

Oh, you should deal with these.”

In his hands were the cooked food, all of which he had taken.

“I don’t think I can finish it today, I still have some bones stewing over there.

I'll heat up two dishes for you."

"It's all fine. You decide. I'm not picky about food."

Uh, I’m afraid this is too casual.

"Let's go ask the kids."

As Qiao Yiqi said this, he went to the kitchen and did not let Liu Yunshuang touch anything.

She was still a little confused. What was wrong with this person?

But before she could speak.

They just walked in with their things and asked the little guys.

Xu Zhili naturally had to look at her expression, and Xu Zhiqing remained silent.

However, Xu Zhiyi pointed directly at the piece of braised beef.

"Okay, let's eat this then."

Qiao Yiqi was quite happy. He squatted on the ground and was only slightly taller than Xu Zhiyi.

"Give it to me~"

She hurried over and took the things.

"Brother Qiao, please go sit inside. It's too smoky in here and your clothes will get dirty."

"It doesn't matter, it's like this, it adds to the atmosphere of fireworks.

Let me see what I can do, and stay here to help you, and let the kids go play."

As he spoke, he actually sat on a small stool and prepared to light a fire.

It's so big that there's no room in the entire kitchen.

"How can that be possible? You are a guest, there is no reason for me to ask you to work."

"Then just don't treat me as a guest, okay?"

Liu Yunshuang couldn't figure out what he was up to and always felt that this man was weird.

Since he insists so much, let him be.

Two people were in the kitchen, not talking, and all they could hear was the sound of sparks popping.

Liu Yunshuang felt that she was the host, and it would not be good for the atmosphere to be so dull.

"Well, I'm going to cook something. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"No~"

"Oh, OK!"

As she spoke, she continued to wash the vegetables.

Dinner was the New Year’s Eve dinner, which was quite sumptuous.

I tore up a plate of pork ribs stewed with potatoes, cold-cut offal, braised beef in soy sauce and smoked chicken.

I also stir-fried some minced meat with pickled beans, green pepper and pork slices, blanched lettuce and pickled cabbage noodles.

This big table is really a good way to celebrate the New Year.

“Wow, it smells so good!”

Xu Zhili sighed sincerely and put his chopsticks on the table.

"Brother Qiao, please sit down and try it to see if it suits your taste."

"good!"

Qiao Yiqi smiled and picked up a piece of offal and put it in the bowl.

I felt the taste was very fragrant just now, and it was even more amazing once I took a sip.

The rest of the people remained motionless, waiting for his comment.

“Very delicious~”

"That's right, my mother's cooking skills are very good, we all like to eat it."

Xu Zhili immediately started to flatter her, looking very proud of it.

"It's really delicious. Yunshuang, with your cooking skills, you can work in a state-owned restaurant."

Liu Yunshuang was also happy because she had seen the world.

Regardless of whether it was sincere or false, it was not easy to praise her like this.

"No, if you like it, eat more.

There are still quite a few left. I’ll bring some for you later.”

Qiao Yiqi's smile faded instantly. He didn't know why, but he always felt that there was a kind of mundane air here.

It is the existence that he has always longed for but never reached.

Liu Yunshuang seemed to be too polite to him, which added a sense of distance between them.

"Uncle Qiao, what's wrong with you? Is it too hot?"

Xu Zhili noticed his unusual behavior and asked quickly.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"No, look outside~"

"Outside?"

This sentence successfully made everyone look over.

"It's snowing. It's actually snowing."

It snowed without any warning.

Apart from anything else, the snowflakes were fluttering and falling in large flakes.

In a short while, the whole ground turned white.

"Oh, it's snowing on New Year's Day, it will probably be even colder tomorrow.

Okay, let’s eat quickly.”

Liu Yunshuang called everyone and soon everyone was attracted by the delicious food and started to eat it with relish.

Even though life has improved a lot, this is the first time I've eaten like this.

Compared to the other children, Qiao Yiqi's eating manners were much more elegant.

I always feel that he has an innate nobility.

Anyway, we are not from the same world as them.

I don’t know if Xu Lanchun and Xu Zhiwei had this feeling when they first returned to Beijing in their previous life.

After dinner, she and Xu Zhiqing cleaned up, and Xu Zhili pestered Qiao Yiqi to tell him a story.

Xu Zhiyi didn't leave either, but just listened beside him.

Liu Yunshuang felt that it was a bit impolite, but the other person didn't care at all and was quite happy instead.

"This snow is too heavy..."

After a while, it was half a finger deep.

It seems that this is definitely not just a light snow.

"Then I'll go back first. It will be hard to walk if it starts to rain heavily."

"Uncle Qiao, don't leave, look at how much snow there is on the ground.

You're still riding a bicycle, what if you fall down?"

Xu Zhili went up to her and held the other person's hand, with a pleading look on his face.

Qiao Yiqi glanced at Liu Yunshuang and then said, "I'd better go back. It's too late and not very convenient."

Uh, this is a bit embarrassing.

"That~"

She still couldn't help but make a sound.

"If you don't mind, stay one night before leaving."

It’s not like I haven’t stayed here before. The last time I stayed here was for two days.

The conditions in rural areas are not good now, and there are many children in the family. It is simply unrealistic to have one room for each child.

In some families, five or six people can live on one kang.

When relatives or friends come to our house, they will stay overnight, and there are not so many particulars.

That’s right, I have no relation with Qiao Yiqi.

Last time I was injured and there was nothing I could do.

It's not a good idea to stay here.

But the snow outside is indeed getting heavier.

Really, I don’t know what to do.

"Sorry to bother you then..."

The other party nodded to her, being very polite.

Liu Yunshuang didn't say anything. She went into the house and took out some melon seeds, sugar cubes, and some dried sweet potatoes she had dried herself.

We will make dumplings and stay up all night tonight.

Plus, it always feels weird with him around.
