Chapter 39 Chapter 041
Equivalent exchange?
Xie Xiaoyuan glanced at Ning Xiao with some confusion, and the latter cast a puzzled look at her.
She withdrew her eyes and followed Xie Qinghe inside, thinking about it, she couldn't see what her mother could exchange with the equivalent.
"Luca, wait a minute!" As soon as he entered the inner hall, Lucas couldn't wait to lead Xie Qinghe straight to the kitchen.
Xie Xiaoyuan looked at this little Zhengtai's appearance, his heart was slightly sour, and he was a little jealous of him.
Mom, don't you want to be so gentle, where did the tigress go, hey.
Retracting her thoughts, Xie Xiaoyuan didn't have the heart to take a good look at this quiet and charming manor, for her, if it weren't for her mother and Ning Xiao, she would have wanted to leave directly.
Be on hot coals.
"Yuan Niu, Ning Xiao, this way."
The owner of the manor had already walked ahead, and Xie Qinghe took Lucas to guide Ning Xiao and Xie Xiaoyuan.
"Eat something first, forget about the non-nutritious meal on the plane. You're a great contributor to our Ningxie family now, so be good. Hold on to your appetite. ”
Xie Qinghe took Xie Xiaoyuan's hand, held Lucas with one hand and his daughter with the other, and walked forward with her steps.
Xie Xiaoyuan wanted to talk to his mother about the past few months, and when he heard her say it, he wanted to refuse, but his stomach suddenly growled, the sound was not big or small, but it was enough for four people to hear.
Ning Xiao and Xie Qinghe were okay, they smiled faintly, but Lucas, hearing Xie Xiaoyuan's stomach barking, asked Xie Qinghe in a childish voice: "Lareina, this sister's belly is so bulging, is there a baby in it?" Was the baby barking just now? When will he come out? Can I play with him? ”
Lucas's series of questions made the three adults laugh, Xie Qinghe smiled and narrowed, and the four of them walked into the restaurant.
Luca was right, but she was protesting because she didn't eat well. If Luca doesn't eat all the vegetables today, the baby won't play with you. ”
Hear the vegetables, luca small. His face was wrinkled like a little old man, and after a battle between heaven and man in his mind, he made a very helpless expression: "No way, I'll eat a little for the sake of the baby." ”
"And for the baby, ghost elf."
Xie Qinghe pinched his fleshy face and hugged him to the chair.
Xie Xiaoyuan touched Ning Xiao with his elbow, and said in a slightly sour tone: "Look at my mother, do you think she looks like a grandmother?" How do I think Lucas is her son. ”
Ning Xiao looked at her with a smile: "You also eat this vinegar?" A veritable little vinegar jar. ”
At this time, I came out of nowhere, changed my clothes, and said lightly to invite me to sit down at the table first.
Xie Qinghe had promised Lucas to make him spring rolls earlier, so after they were all seated, he walked into the kitchen.
The atmosphere suddenly became very quiet, and Luca, who was very lively in Xie Xiaoyuan's eyes, suddenly became cold. His little body was very straight, and the beautiful young maid laid out a napkin cloth for him, arranged the special knives and forks, and before he could stand still, he heard the little young master say coldly: "Chopsticks." ”
The one sitting in the first seat frowned without a trace, but said nothing.
The maid hurriedly removed her knife and fork and fetched chopsticks for Lucas.
On the long dining table, most of it was obvious Chinese food, only in front of him was his usual French food.
The atmosphere is not at all like that of a guest.
However, for Xie Xiaoyuan and Ning Xiao, it is more in line with their hearts to be quiet and not to speak.
It's just that the atmosphere is really embarrassing, although the food is silent, but the huge restaurant is too quiet.
But fortunately, Mother Yuan didn't stay in the kitchen for too long, and after Lucas looked back three times, Mother Yuan finally came out of the kitchen with a beautiful porcelain plate.
Looking at the neatly stacked spring rolls on the plate, Xie Xiaoyuan looked at his mother with some tears in his eyes.
I think it's still this little Luca's luck, she hasn't eaten her mother's food for years.
This spring roll is the kind of spring roll in the south wrapped in a few refreshing and delicious side dishes, which is different from the oil pressed in the north. Xie Qinghe used to make it for Xie Xiaoyuan, and the mother and daughter could eat a lot in one bite.
Xie Qinghe: "You haven't eaten yet?" ”
Ning Xiao: "Wait for your mother." ”
Xie Qinghe sat down between him and Lucas, and when little Luca saw that the Chinese spring rolls he was thinking about were on the table, he couldn't wait to use chopsticks, but he didn't learn to use chopsticks for a long time, and his movements were still very clumsy, and the maid who was accompanying him hurriedly stepped forward to help, but he saw that his master was unbelievably skillful in picking up a spring roll with chopsticks, and then dipped it in sauce, and glanced at his nephew with a slight meaning.
He was just about to put the food in his mouth, but he heard Xie Qinghe say casually: "I'm sorry, I only made four servings." ”
It means that if you eat us, we will not be enough.
Holding the hand of the spring roll, his heart was full of anger, but the aristocratic upbringing did not allow him to make indecent actions in front of outsiders, and Lucas was still present, so he could only be deflated.
In the entire restaurant, except for Xie Qinghe and Lucas, everyone else was secretly surprised.
The Ning couple was surprised by Xie Qinghe's words and deeds, and the servants were angry at Xie Qinghe's behavior.
Lucas, who was waiting for the maid to eat seriously, saw his uncle's expression, and the rare pouting was a smile at him.
glanced at his little nephew, and finally ate the spring rolls into his stomach without changing his face.
Lucas snorted coldly.
"How's it taste?" Xie Qinghe asked his daughter, she was referring to other dishes, "The chef who was invited to specialize in Chinese food." ”
When Xie Xiaoyuan heard this, he unexpectedly glanced up and glanced at him that he hadn't seen it since he entered the manor.
She replied: "It's not bad, it tastes good." ”
Mother Yuan said this very interestingly, a cook who cooks Chinese food.
Xie Xiaoyuan and Ning Xiao looked at each other, generally speaking, Chinese make Chinese food, this is very normal, will not be specifically emphasized, Yuan Ma said this, is to tell them, the person who makes this Chinese food, is not Chinese?
I seem to understand what Mother Yuan means.
From the beginning of entering the manor to the present, my mother's words and deeds seem to tell them that she is living well here, but there is not much freedom, even the chef who can cook Chinese food is not Chinese, I think it is afraid that something like last time will happen?
Xie Xiaoyuan couldn't help but be puzzled, and there were too many questions in his heart that he wanted to ask his mother.
At this time, Lucas, who had already eaten, still refused to get off the table, looked at Xie Xiaoyuan, looked at Yuan's mother, and finally looked at his own uncle like a charity.
Then he broke through everyone's eyes and asked:
"Uncle, when are you going to have a baby with Lareina?"
Burst!
Everyone was stunned.
Even he couldn't maintain his self-contained image anymore, and choked a few times while drinking water.
Xie Qinghe was too embarrassed, she was asked like this in front of her daughter and son-in-law, her old face didn't know where to put it, but Lucas was unscrupulous, and she couldn't accuse him of anything.
I had to say: "Your uncle is old, and he can't take care of you alone, so how can he have time to take care of his own children?" ”
Normally, Lucas won't ask when he gets the answer, but this time he was a little reluctant: "I don't want to take care of it, so that you will have a baby?" ”
The maid came over at the right time to pick up Lucas and coax him away: "Little master, we should go for a walk outside, and when we come back to take a bath, we should go to bed." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Lucas struggled to come down with his short legs kicking in the maid's arms, but how could the servants in the manor be vegetarians? They are all strictly trained in all aspects, especially the few people who take care of Lucas, not to mention anything else, there is strength, and they will never let the child struggle away because of his movements.
After Lucas was taken away, silence returned to the dinner table.
Mother Yuan and Xie Xiaoyuan are used to talking and eating at home at home, but the pressure is very low, and no one has the heart to chat.
A silent dinner ended like this, and everyone realized that both parties were not hosts and guests in the usual sense, so they only ordered the servants to go back to the room after a few words, but they just glanced at Ning Xiao a few more times before leaving, which made Xie Xiaoyuan shudder.
"Mom"
"We sleep together tonight, but there's Luca, he's a good boy, you can feel what it's like to be a mother in advance."
Xie Qinghe seemed to have no feeling for the depression around him, and pulled his daughter to whisper to her.
Xie Xiaoyuan was waiting for this, so he could only go back to the guest bedroom prepared for them to find Ning Xiao.
She pecked him on the face and explained, "What, I slept with my mother tonight, and I wronged you alone." And if that person "
Ning Xiao hooked his lips: "It's okay, I understand." However, you have to ask for some compensation. And your husband is also quite tall, who can touch him? ”
His eyes were seductive, Xie Xiaoyuan blushed, and was appeased by his words, and felt that this guy was not simply to make amends.
Sure enough, when Ning Xiao let go of her, her face was crimson, her eyes were full of spring water, her seductive pink lips were wet, and the breath of the two was unstable, Ning Xiao looked at her and was still well-dressed, but Xie Xiaoyuan's upper body had completely fallen, and her clothes were so disheveled that if people saw it, they would definitely think that these two had just fought a big battle.
XIE Xiaoyuanmei. glanced at Ning Xiao with a staring eye, that look was delicate in Ning Xiao's eyes, and he just wanted to hold his little wife for a while, but he thought that his mother-in-law was already waiting for her, and it was not good to delay for too long, so he could only look at her deeply and send her out of the room.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or deliberately, Xie Xiaoyuan walked past the door of the room as soon as he came out of the room, she looked at him vigilantly, but he turned a corner and went downstairs.
She breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Ning Xiao again, and then went to the garden mother's room.
Lucas had already taken a bath and was coaxed to sleep by her, and when her mother saw Xie Xiaoyuan coming, she pulled her to sit down on the sofa next to her.
"We're quieter, and Luca is a little sleepy."
Xie Xiaoyuan looked at Xie Qinghe with taste: "Mom, I'm jealous"
Xie Qinghe smiled and pinched Xie Xiaoyuan's cheeks, which had grown a lot of flesh recently, and said softly: "You can also see it, Luca is actually autistic, and he hardly talks to anyone other than me." He is a poor child, his parents have died, his mother is a Chinese, so he may think of me as her, he is actually very sensible, who is willing to do not hurt such a child? ”
She was a little surprised: "So small? His parents are dead? ”
Xie Qinghe nodded: "Their family background is quite special, his parents were killed by someone." At the end of the sentence, her voice was softer, "Right in front of Luca's eyes." ”
Xie Xiaoyuan was horrified in his heart, and couldn't help but look at the bed at the moment. It's a very sweet little Shota who sleeps on it.。 She couldn't believe how strong her will she would be to not clamoring for her parents every day like her peers. The death of his parents right in front of him is a great pain for him.
Both of them were a little silent, and after a while, Xie Qinghe smiled lightly and told his daughter about what had happened in the past few months. The two didn't go to bed until late at night.
Xie Qinghe still didn't tell his daughter in the end that he wanted to avenge his younger brother and sister-in-law, so he released the news in the whole family: the wife he was going to marry was the brother and daughter-in-law who disappeared on the surface but was actually confirmed to be dead.
The family love history has always been very messy, and those who know him know that he is a double, and the woman who once pursued his younger brother naturally took his ridiculous decision seriously.
His purpose in doing so was to lure out the murderer through her.
He repeatedly assured her safety, but Xie Qinghe couldn't help but worry about herself, but Yuanniu was pregnant with a child, and she didn't want her to worry
The next day, Xie Xiaoyuan and Ning Xiao didn't take long to visit Ning Xiao's friend's house.
Because the wedding was still a few days away, and there was nothing to help them with, Xie Qinghe seemed to understand his daughter's feelings, so he agreed that they would live outside, but they must come back before the wedding.
Out of the scope of the manor, Xie Xiaoyuan's hanging heart finally let go, and his whole body was much more comfortable.
Ning Xiao's friend's home is close to the old city, and it is a small building with front and back gardens. The house retains an old-fashioned style, with many vines hanging from the balcony upstairs, which looks exceptionally peaceful.
Xie Xiaoyuan likes it very much.
Ning Xiao had the key in his hand, and when he opened the door, Xie Xiaoyuan couldn't wait to find the bathroom. She knew that there was no one in the house, and she couldn't hold back her desire to go to the bathroom, so she rushed in a little rudely.
Ning Xiao reluctantly followed up, afraid that he would fall from the unfamiliar house, and quickly told her where the bathroom was. Because he has lived here for some time before, he is still familiar with the layout of the house.
After Xie Xiaoyuan found the bathroom, she comfortably solved her personal problems, but the buttons of her underwear suddenly collapsed, and she was because of her bulging stomach. It was obvious that the whole person was also a little clumsy, and he didn't buckle it for a long time, so he called Ning Xiao to help.
The door was pushed open, and an unfamiliar face appeared in front of Xie Xiaoyuan, she screamed and covered her chest and shouted, "Who are you?!! ”
