Chapter 65 Seafood Porridge Soothes the Soul



It has already happened, there is no point in blaming anyone.

The first thing Xu Ning did was to take out the pots again, this time it was a stainless steel bucket for making soup.

It is more than 80 centimeters deep, which is more than enough for the Xu family to eat.

"Dad, to make amends, just cook some porridge. Add more water. When the porridge is almost done, put the seafood in. Wait until grandma comes back to add the seasoning." Fortunately, this is the seaside and there are plenty of seafood, otherwise we would have to eat plain porridge at night.

But even so, Old Lady Xu and others were still very distressed. Not only were they sad that the food was gone, but they were also sad that the pot Xu Ning took out was burned.

Xu Ning saw what Old Lady Xu was thinking from her expression, "Grandma, as long as she's fine, that's fine. This is completely irrelevant. Daddy will learn a lesson from this so he can cook seriously next time, right?"

"Grandma, let's go wash up. After dinner, we can put on a facial mask and feel comfortable!"

I can't take a full bath because it's late and the water is cold.

Xu Ning took Old Lady Xu and Zhang to the stream again, and used the half-dry towels to wash themselves.

"Daya, the pot is not cheap. When you find a place to stop, let your father earn more money for you. Don't let him go easily." Old Mrs. Xu still felt uncomfortable. She was used to using that pot.

"Okay, as long as you make grandma happy!" Xu Ning wiped his own face perfunctorily. After Grandma Xu cleaned herself up, she took out a bag of pumpkin seeds from her treasure chest. "Grandma, take a break and crack some pumpkin seeds first. We can deal with the rest later. If Dad still can't do well this time, let's beat him up together!"

"Pfft, Xu Daya, you...you...you, grandma really can't do anything with you." Grandma Xu laughed helplessly. Xu Ning pulled Grandma Xu's hand like a spoiled child. "Grandma, it's so nice to laugh. You're happy when you laugh. My grandma is still the most beautiful old lady!"

"Pfft, boss, have you finished washing? Let's go back. The boss is a worrying person. Don't let him cause trouble again this time."

"Oh mom, I'm done washing." Zhang was also worried. She felt that it would be better for her to cook by herself!

"Men, you can't spoil them. Let them do the work they can do. If they can't do it well, let them learn more and do it more often. Otherwise, if you take it all on yourself, you will end up tiring yourself and spoiling him!"

"There are still few absolutely bad people. Most of them are spoiled."

"Grandma, are those bandits also spoiled?"

"Most of them are. Otherwise, why would they hide when the soldiers arrive? It's because the soldiers aren't afraid of them, and the people are afraid of them, so they don't dare to resist. This actually encourages their evil intentions."

"It's not just the bandits. The refugees along the way are also bullies who only pick on the weak. If it weren't for our family's toughness!" At this point, Old Lady Xu looked at Xu Ning seriously and continued, "Without your luck, our family might not have made it this far."

"Daya, when we find a suitable place to settle down, you can take back the things the gods gave you. I hope you can stay by my side in peace and safety..."

The crescent moon emerged from behind the dark clouds, and the figures walking back in the grove seemed elongated.

"Dad, the water is boiling, shall we put in the rice?" Xu Dabao's shouts overlapped with the sound of the waves. Xu Ning turned his gaze to where the carriage was parked. Xu Da was still busy cleaning up the messed up things.

"Put the water in once it boils." Xu Da was holding a pile of firewood and had no time to care about anything. When Old Lady Xu heard what he said, she ran over in two steps.

"What are you putting in there? You let Dabao put it in such hot water, Xu Dayong, are you a tiger?"

"Dabao, here comes the milk. Go wash your face first. Daya, help grandma get the seasoning. You might as well rely on the wind than on your dad! You're so angry!"

"Mom, how did I offend you?"

"You didn't provoke me, I provoke myself!"

"Mom!" Xu Da stamped his feet anxiously. Xu Ning looked at him with pity for a moment, because she suddenly realized that Old Mrs. Xu might have reached menopause.

Xu Xiaobao loved to join in the fun. After Xu Ning put down the spice jar, Xu Xiaobao leaned against Xu Ning with his face showing only the whitest teeth. Xu Ning couldn't bear it anymore, so he pulled him to find a basin to wash his face.

Old Man Xu was concentrating on burning the fire, and would occasionally advise Old Lady Xu. Old Lady Xu didn't respond, but would glare at him every time he said something, which would then result in Old Man Xu's silly grin.

As the night deepened, the rich aroma of porridge and seafood drifted across the beach. A sip of the thick seafood porridge soothed the tiredness of the whole day.

"Wow, it's hot!! So delicious! So sweet!"
