Chapter 15 I don't want to live in the same room with other people
"Tingting can't figure it out for a while, your mother is comforting her outside, she will figure it out slowly. I'll tell you about your sister later."
At this time, Xiaoxi came in, saw Li Hongbin's actions, and smiled, "Dad, do you want me to help you light the fire?" She saw that this kitchen was the same as the one in Xia Village before, with an earthen stove and pot.
"You can?"
Xiaoxi smiled, took the matchbox from Li Hongbin's hand, and took the firewood. First, the fir leaves for kindling were lit, and then thrown into the stove, and a few flammable firewood were put in, and the fire soon started. Xiaoxi then put in a large firewood, and the fire in the stove burned vigorously.
Li Hongbin was stunned by Xiaoxi's behavior, and felt sad. He knew that this was only possible because she had worked so hard since she was young. Then he smiled and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
As he spoke, he looked at the ingredients in the cabinet. After taking out the eggs, meat and tomatoes, he found that Xiaoxi had already cleaned the pot, and the pot was steaming.
After that, Xiaoxi took over the job of cooking noodles. In fact, Xiaoxi had never cooked noodles with tomatoes, but she had seen other people eat it. Pour oil and fry three golden eggs. She had never been so generous before. Xiaoxi's hands were even shaking a little. She also fried the minced meat and put it in the bowl. Then pour the sliced tomatoes into the pot and stir-fry until they become juice, then pour in water and boil, add the noodles and minced meat. The aroma instantly filled the entire kitchen.
Li Wenhua swallowed his saliva: "Dad, I'm hungry too."
"Didn't you have lunch?" Li Hongbin glanced at him.
"You also know what mom cooks." At this point, Li Wenhua looked at his father, as if to say that you understand even if I don't say it.
At this time, Xiaoxi saw a few green onions in the basket, took another green onion, chopped it quickly, and sprinkled it into the boiling pot. Looking at the two of them, "It's time to eat."
Li Hongbin walked over and said to Xiaoxi: "I'll serve it, you go sit in the living room. Li Wenhua, go to the living room and wipe the table."
Li Wenhua was more obedient than ever before. As expected, he got a bowl of noodles.
Xiaoxi looked at the noodles filled with eggs and meat in his bowl, and then he looked at Li Hongbin's bowl with only noodles. While Li Hongbin was in the kitchen, he quickly put a fried egg and meat into Li Hongbin's bowl.
Li Wenhua, who was eating noodles, did not notice this.
Xiaoxi drank a mouthful of noodle soup and squinted his eyes in satisfaction. Sure enough, noodles with meat and eggs were delicious.
Li Hongbin walked to the living room and saw the eggs and meat in his bowl. His heart was warm. He seemed to finally understand why others called their daughters "little cotton-padded jackets".
When Qin Lan came back with Li Wenting, they saw the three of them eating noodles.
Qin Lan suddenly became angry: "Hongbin, you don't even care about Tingting, and you still have the mood to eat noodles."
When Li Wenting heard this, her eyes turned red again, and she looked very aggrieved.
Li Hongbin put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked towards Li Wenting: "Okay, didn't Dad say that you will still be the daughter of our Li family in the future. You will be the eldest daughter of the Li family in the future, and Xiaoxi will be the second daughter." He looked at Li Wenhua again: "Wenhua, remember to call me eldest sister and second sister in the future, don't call me the wrong one." He
looked at Qin Lan again: "You can talk to Tingting alone, she can listen more. Xiaoxi happened to have not eaten for a day, I will cook some noodles for Xiaoxi."
After hearing what Li Hongbin said, Qin Lan's anger quickly subsided, and she was surprised: "Is this the noodles you cooked? How come it smells so good."
Li Hongbin smiled and said: "I wanted to cook it originally, but Xiaoxi couldn't stand it and took over the job."
"Mom, let the second sister cook the noodles next time." Li Wenhua said quickly.
Li Wenting glanced at Li Wenhua quickly. The second sister was called so quickly.
"Then let Xiaoxi cook noodles for me and Tingting tonight. It's past 5 o'clock, and it's time for dinner." Qin Lan was not unhappy that Li Wenhua said her cooking was not delicious. Instead, she was happy that Xiaoxi could cook. She was most annoyed by this kind of housework, but Tingting had never done housework, and Wenhua was even worse, so she was the only one who could do it at home.
Xiaoxi paused with her hand holding the bowl.
Then she heard Li Hongbin say, "Xiaoxi, such a young child, has been on the road for two days, and now you let her cook for you. She is not here to be a nanny, you can do it yourself." Xiaoxi could hear that Li Hongbin's voice was full of anger.
"Then didn't you ask her to do it, too?"
"Don't mess around. I can't do it. Xiaoxi took over because she couldn't stand it."
Qin Lan looked at Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi buried her head in her meal and said nothing. Xiaoxi's expectations of Qin Lan, her biological mother, had dropped from 100 points to 50 points. Her biological father had spoken for her like this,
so she didn't want to be a sucker and do the work. She must be very tired after sitting in the car for such a long time. Qin Lan was a little unhappy. She really grew up in the countryside. If she didn't want to do it, she just said she didn't want to do it. How could she blame her for saying it openly? She acted like a petty person who was hiding and hiding, and finally couldn't show up in public.
"Dad, Mom, I want to go upstairs and stay by myself for a while." After Li Wenting said that, she glanced at Xiaoxi and went upstairs.
"Mom will accompany you." Qin Lan said and followed her upstairs.
Li Wenhua looked at Li Wenting, Xiaoxi, his father, and his mother.
After watching his mother and Li Wenting go upstairs, Li Hongbin suddenly knocked on the bowl in his hand: "You will clean up the dishes later."
He said to Xiaoxi: "I will go upstairs to take a look first, you can eat slowly."
Xiaoxi responded and lowered her eyes.
Li Hongbin went upstairs and saw Qin Lan sitting by the bed to comfort Li Wenting. Seeing him go in. Both mother and daughter looked at her. He walked in and sat down: "Tingting, don't think too much, you are still your parents' daughter, this matter has no effect on you. You and Xiaoxi will be sisters in the future, get along well, okay?"
Li Wenting's tears, which had stopped, fell again.
"Look at you, I finally comforted her, and you come to provoke her again." Qin Lan was very angry.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Li Hongbin was helpless, and before leaving, he remembered something, "Where will Xiaoxi live in the future? Will she live with Tingting?"
Before Li Hongbin finished speaking, Li Wenting cried, "Mom, I don't want to live in the same room with others."
"Don't worry, this room is for you alone." Qin Lan said hurriedly.
"Then where do you say Xiaoxi lives?" Li Hongbin's voice was calm without any ups and downs.
"Don't we still have the small guest room? Just clean it up."
The small guest room was usually filled with clutter, and the windows were small, so the ventilation and lighting were not that good. Li Hongbin looked at Tingting's room, which had big windows, pink curtains, pink sheets and pillowcases, and a doll on the bed, which Qin Lan bought when she went to Hangzhou. He suddenly felt angry.
"The guest room is too small, so clean up the study room and let Xiaoxi live
in it." "Where will you work in the future, and where will Tingting and Wenhua do their homework?"
"They all do it in their own rooms. Don't rooms have desks? You're just being picky. Don't other people have study rooms?"
After saying this, Li Hongbin went downstairs.
