Gu Nian placed his hand on her head and said slowly, "You must have been even more mischievous than Luo Luo when you were little."
"Nonsense, I'm very well-behaved."
"Is that so?" The man looked down at the two fingers she was fiddling with and chuckled softly.
In a short while, Grandma Xiaojun caught four chickens and tied their legs with rope.
Luo Shimiao looked at the kitchen and said, "Grandma, can I borrow your kitchen for a moment? We need to boil water and kill a chicken."
"Please feel free to use it, don't be shy."
"Meiqi, can you keep an eye on Luoluo for me?"
"good."
She walked into the kitchen and saw the stove. She raised an eyebrow and looked at the man who followed her in: "Do you know how to start a fire?"
The man tilted his head, looked at the dark hole, and pursed his lips: "We'll know once we try." He sat down on a small stool.
With long, strong fingers, he took the firewood behind him, broke it, and stuffed it into the stove.
Seeing that he was doing it quite well, Luo Shimiao lifted the lid of the water tank and added water to the large pot one spoonful at a time.
Four or five minutes later, two coughs were heard from the kitchen.
Zheng Xiaopeng went back to his room to change his clothes and walked into the courtyard, where he saw plumes of white smoke drifting out of a small house.
Following the sound of coughing, we entered the "South Heavenly Gate".
Luo Shimiao covered her mouth and nose, tears streaming down her face: "Gu Nian! Are you done yet?"
"Cough cough, almost there." Gu Nian waved the thick smoke in front of him.
"Everyone said I should do the burning, but you wouldn't let me."
The man said firmly, "I can."
"My goodness, are you guys refining pills?" Zheng Xiaopeng opened his folding fan and waved it to blow away the white smoke.
"What kind of elixir are you making? Just boil water and kill a chicken."
"Boiling water? With all this smoke, I thought I was refining elixirs and ascending to heaven." He squinted, stinging from the smoke, and looked at the slender voice in the white smoke.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you can't help, then get out."
"I'll go find you some help." Zheng Xiaopeng strode out of the kitchen and headed towards the open door.
Inside the living room, everyone sat on the brand-new sofa, chatting and laughing.
Lai Meiqi saw him wiping away tears and asked in confusion, "Director Zheng, why are you crying?"
"The kitchen is now filled with a misty, heavenly atmosphere, it's so beautiful, you should go and take a look..."
Everyone got up and headed to the kitchen.
Grandma Xiaojun was stunned for a second when she saw the scene in front of her: "Oh my god~" She went into the kitchen and "chased" the two of them out.
Luo Shimiao looked at the black stains scattered across the man's handsome face and chuckled.
A hint of unease flashed in the man's eyes.
Luo Luo pointed to her face and said happily, "Brother Niannian is a little kitten."
