Chapter 53 Pei Family Dinner



Pei Yan didn't let Xu Zhiyi do it and asked Xu Zhiyi to accompany her grandmother.

Grandma Dong brought out a stool and sat under the eaves with Xu Zhiyi.

Fang Hai came over quickly, followed by a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, Fang Hai's sister, Fang Yingzi.

Fang Yingzi has two little braids that just reach her shoulders. When she smiles, her little fangs are exposed. She is a cute little girl.

"Brother Yan, I'm here. Is there anything I can do for you?" Fang Hai came in, smiled at the two of them, and prepared to help Pei Yan.

"Grandma Dong." Fang Yingzi often came to Pei Yan's house with her brother and was already very familiar with Grandma Dong.

It's rare to see Grandma Dong sitting with another girl today, so I can't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Yingzi, come here quickly. This is the educated youth from the village. Have you seen him when you were working?" Grandma Dong deliberately brought up the topic.

Fang Yingzi shyly looked at the beautiful female educated youth in front of her and said, "The one I've seen before is Xu Zhiqing."

"Hello, Yingzi, do you know me?" Xu Zhiyi could see that the girl seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, Grandma Dong, do you know? Xu Zhiqing is the female educated youth who was able to kill wild boars. She's amazing. She always gets full work points when she goes to work."

The girl who was originally shy suddenly became Xu Zhiyi's fangirl.

Grandma Dong worked hard when she was young and her health has been poor since she got older, so Pei Yan would not let her go home from work. She also did not like to hang out with the old women in the village and rarely went out.

So I had no idea that Xu Zhiyi was so powerful.

"Oh, I didn't expect Zhiyi to be so capable! I really misjudged him."

Grandma Dong was recommended by Fang Yingzi and applied to join Xu Zhiyi's praise group.

Xu Zhiyi, who was present, was very happy to be praised by the two. He didn't feel anything was wrong and nodded seriously.

At first, Fang Yingzi was worried that the female educated youth from the city would seem extremely difficult to approach, but she didn't expect that after getting to know Xu Zhiyi, she would find her so approachable.

It was simply because Xu Zhiyi usually looked cold, didn't like to smile or talk, and left after finishing his work, leaving the impression of being difficult to approach in the eyes of the villagers.

Besides, everyone in Xiangyang Village knew that although she looked small, she was actually extremely strong and could even kill a wild boar. How could a person withstand her punches?

Naturally, most of the simple villagers rarely interacted with the educated youth. Even if there were a few pickled cucumbers, they would only talk about them in private.

The two people working in the kitchen heard the occasional laughter of three people chatting in the yard.

"Brother Yan, Xu Zhiqing is such a nice person. He doesn't look down on us country folk at all."

Fang Hai, who was in charge of the fire, sighed. This Xu Zhiqing didn't look like an educated youth from the city at all. No! You can tell at a glance that she is the daughter of a city family. The way she looks at people doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.

How to say it, he had seen the educated youth in the educated youth points before. They all had high expectations but poor skills. Their disgust for the country people was too obvious. They also had a sense of arrogance, but he didn't know what they were arrogant about.

No matter how arrogant you are, you still have to work in the fields like the country people.

"Yeah. A little angry." Pei Yan didn't want to talk more about Xu Zhiyi to Fang Hai.

Put the rabbit meat into a pot with warm water and boil it, add a few slices of ginger, then pour some rice wine to remove the fishy smell, blanch it and rinse it with cold water.

Pour oil into the pot, add shallots and ginger slices after the oil smokes slightly, stir-fry for a few times, add rabbit meat and stir-fry until fragrant, stir-fry until cooked, then pour in cold water to cover the rabbit meat, add spices, salt, and soy sauce, bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat.

After boiling down to a small amount of soup, stir-fry for a few times, add the green garlic leaves, stir-fry for a few times, then remove from the pan and serve.

The aroma of meat wafted out of the pot, and Fang Hai couldn't help but inhale it intoxicatedly, "What a nice smell! What a nice smell! Brother Yan, your cooking skills are amazing!"

Pei Yan didn't say anything, and the villagers would never have thought that this usually cold and fierce boy also had good cooking skills.

In addition, the chicken soup in the casserole is almost done, so I picked a bunch of vegetables from my own vegetable garden, stir-fried them, and served them with white rice.

A meal that is both delicious and tasty is all good.

Xu Zhiyi had long lost interest in chatting after smelling the fragrance wafting from the kitchen. He responded to Grandma Dong's words absent-mindedly, his eyes glancing towards the kitchen from time to time.

Grandma Dong even winked at Fang Yingzi to look at her, which made Fang Yingzi cover her mouth and laugh.

After waiting for a long time for Pei Yan to come out with the dishes, and after the dishes were served one after another, they finally sat down at the table.

"Zhiyi, come and try A Yan's cooking and see if it suits your taste." Grandma Dong greeted Xu Zhiyi, fearing that the little girl was shy and would be embarrassed to pick up her chopsticks.

"Okay, Grandma Dong, Pei Yan's cooking skills are very good. This looks delicious." Xu Zhiyi nodded.

"Yes, Xu Zhiqing, the food Brother Yan cooks is really delicious. Every time I finish eating it, the food I cook myself tastes like pig food." Fang Hai said without exaggeration.

"You are the pig, how can you not eat pig food?" Fang Yingzi habitually said a few words to her brother.

Fang Hai and Yingzi were arguing with each other, Xu Zhiyi was cheering them on, and Pei Yan responded from time to time. The meal was very lively.

After we finished eating, it was getting dark.

Fang Yingzi cleared the table quickly and took the dishes into the kitchen to wash and clean up.

Xu Zhiyi still wanted to help, but was rejected.

Grandma Dong said, "It's so dark now. It's not safe for Zhiyi to go back alone. Ayan, you go and see her off."

Pei Yan nodded and walked out first.

After Xu Zhiyi came out, Pei Yan held a flashlight and walked slightly slower behind Xu Zhiyi to light the way for her.

The two of them walked quietly, listening to the chirping of cicadas and frogs in the night, and a cool breeze blowing from time to time, which was very comfortable.

We soon arrived at the educated youth point.

"Pei Yan, thank you for sending me back. Be careful when you go back, and don't forget the things I left for you at the old place."

"Sweet dreams tonight."

"Okay, you too."

At the gate of the Youth League Home, Xu Zhiyi watched the light in Pei Yan's hand fade away until it could no longer be seen before returning to the dormitory.

People in the dormitory have become accustomed to Xu Zhiyi often being alone and coming home late from time to time.

After all, with her skills, it would be hard to find an opponent.

Have a good night.

Pei Yan woke up at dawn the next day, not because he was wondering what Xu Zhiyi had put in the cave.

He decided to go up the mountain first to see what it was, and then come back to make breakfast for his grandmother.

I haven't been home with my grandma for a few days. I have to stay at home for half a month. I guess Grandpa Gao will make some arrangements.

When Pei Yan arrived at the cave and pushed away the stone blocking the entrance, he saw a huge tiger head.

Pei Yan's whole body tensed up instantly, and he managed to resist taking a step back subconsciously.

When Pei Yan took a closer look, he discovered that the tiger was already dead.

Thinking of the surprise Xu Zhiyi mentioned, Pei Yan began to have a headache.

He was wrong. He shouldn't have had any illusions about her surprise.
