Chu Xi rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen, ready to cook a big meal, but he felt a little hesitant as he walked.
How to explain this ingredient? In this hot weather, seafood and meat are not easy to store. I don’t have a refrigerator at home, and these things are rare in this era.
Think about the steamed sea bass, charcoal-grilled lamb legs, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, braised sea cucumber with fish maw, and golden money chicken stuffed with chicken wings that I was just imagining...
"Why……"
Forget it, first make some fried bacon, garlic spinach, scrambled eggs with cucumber, shrimp and vermicelli, and then some seaweed egg drop soup...
I can only make do with it for now. When I'm free tomorrow, I can go to the supply and marketing cooperative or the department store. At least I have to make something delicious for my man during this time.
If it weren't for Shi Peng in the yard who kept glancing towards the kitchen, and Chu Xia who kept wanting to help, Chu Xi would have wanted to go into the space to cook. After all, there was a full set of kitchen utensils in there, as well as all kinds of pure green and pollution-free fresh ingredients that were always available, and there was also the magical spring water that was nourishing...
Even so, Chu Xi still used the excuse that it was Chu Xia's first day at home to prevent her from helping. Otherwise, it would be difficult to produce so many ingredients and seasonings in the already empty kitchen...
Soon, after Chu Xi added a lot of "side ingredients", a table full of delicious dishes was served.
In the hot summer, everyone was happy to eat in the yard full of flowers and plants, and Little Stone jumped for joy.
He used to have very few friends, but now, not to mention the slightly older Chuxia, even Aqiu can accompany him. This is also the main reason why Chu Xi took them in. After all, children still need more company and a complete childhood, rather than staying in that somewhat empty space.
"I prepared all this today in a hurry. It can be considered as a welcome party for Chuxia and Aqiu. From now on, we will be a family. I hope you will integrate well and grow up safely and happily!"
Smelling the fragrance of flowers in the yard and eating delicious food, Chuxia silently lowered her head and ate her meal, trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes.
Especially when he saw his sister's cheerful face filled with a happy smile, and recalled the days when they lived in that small mountain village, with only one meal a day, they had to get up early before dawn every day to plant crops, chop wood, and go into the mountains to find herbs. They were often bullied by the vicious Second Grandma Liu...
Finally, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore and they just welled up in my eyes...
Chu Xi, who was totally absorbed in flirting with her man at the moment, didn't notice Chu Xia's abnormality at first. But when Chu Xia's tears started to flow and she was so excited that her body was trembling slightly, her sharp mental power still noticed Chu Xia across the table.
"Chuxia, what's wrong? Are you not used to it? Or are you not feeling well?"
Chuxia's eyes were slightly red, and she was choked with sobs and speechless when she heard the caring words.
If they hadn't met Chu Xi, they might have died in the mountains that time, or even been kidnapped and lived a cruel and miserable life.
"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?"
Aqiu, who was just happily competing with Xiao Shitou in eating, now became anxious.
Chuxia is her only relative in this world and her only support.
Chu Xia choked up when she saw the worried looks of several people. She slowly calmed down and forced herself to be calm, otherwise they would have been even more worried.
"It's okay, Sister Chu, I just feel a little sad when I think about the past days!"
"Thank you for taking us in. I will..."
"Okay, Chuxia, let's not talk about the future. Your main task now is to take good care of your sister and keep them both company. If you're willing, you can help out at home, or I can find you a job..."
"I'm willing to do anything as long as we have a place to live and food to eat!"
Shi Peng looked at the two poor little girls and felt a little sorry for them, but he didn't know what to say at this moment. He could only watch his wife perform silently.
"Okay, let's eat first. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Thank you, brother-in-law, Xiao Shitou, let's eat quickly."
Chuxia finally adjusted herself and quickly called Xiao Shitou to eat.
These little "eaters" tend to enjoy their food more when the atmosphere is lively, so when Little Stone heard this, he quickly grabbed a piece of bacon with his chopsticks, and the bacon went into his mouth as he opened and closed his little mouth...
This scene made Chu Xi secretly happy. Taking them home was definitely a wise decision.
