Chapter Seventy-Nine: Cooking Delicious
"Brother Li." Xiao Yuan shouted sweetly at the man.
"Xiao Yuan, you're here." Li Chen said lightly.
Yesterday, Xiao Mo was almost ruined by that Wu Dayi, if it weren't for Li Chen, the consequences would be unpredictable, even if Li Chen finally "abandoned her" and saved her from being poisoned, Xiao Mo was still grateful to him, and now she smiled at him, like a hibiscus out of the water, and said in a crisp voice: "Brother Li." ”
Li Chen just nodded to her slightly, and didn't say much, moving his eyes to the young man beside her.
"Brother Li, thank you very much." Xiao Mo said again.
"No, you don't." He just "happened" to save her, not much kindness.
In the face of such a cold response from the other party, Xiao Mo wanted to say something but it was difficult to speak, but Xiao Yuan did not have a utilitarian heart for Li Chen, with a young and pure heart, he could also talk to him a few times, which made him smile.
After a while, Yuan Qing brought out a pot of hot tea from the kitchen, put the teapot on the table, poured tea for the four of them one by one, and finally poured his own.
Even though Yuan Qing rarely serves others, she can't be rude when she entertains guests, as a businessman or other role.
"Thank you." Xiao Mo smiled gratefully at Yuan Qingtou.
"I don't have any good tea at home, and I'm ashamed to say it." Yuan Qing said lightly, drinking the green tea with white smoke curling by himself.
"My sister-in-law is humble." Xiao Mo said again.
Sometimes politeness, too, is so troublesome......
Taste the hot tea in your cup, put down the teacup, Yuan Qing said: "Miss Xiao, yesterday's incident, Xianggong has already told me, you are not injured, right?" ”
"Thank you Miss Yuan for your concern, Xiao Mo is fine." Xiao Mo said, her eyes looked at Li Chen, and her eyes were suddenly full of tears. The tone was choked: "If it weren't for Brother Li's timely appearance, Xiao Mo would ......" Before the words were finished, tears flowed first.
She cried so sadly, so pear blossoms with rain. Yuan Qing, who was sitting next to her, didn't seem to be able to comfort her, so Yuan Qing reached out and patted her on the back, softly comforting her not to cry.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Mo's crying gradually faded away. In her place was a heartbreaking, haggard and moving face, like a lotus flower blowing in the rain, which made people look at it and wanted to help her shelter from the wind and rain.
Not to mention, as a man, Li Chen still doesn't have much feeling for her, and even Yuan Qing doesn't have much sympathy for her, comforting her is just a thing on the bright side and passable......
is also, Yuan Qing is a hard-hearted person. It doesn't seem to be too sad about other people's lives and deaths, just drop a tear or two in front of her to win her sympathy, who do you think you are? There are so many poor people in the world, can you be pitiful?
"Sister, don't cry, you're fine." The young man on the side patted the woman's back and comforted.
"Miss Xiao, that person didn't trouble you again, did he?" Yuan Qing asked.
"Sister-in-law, you have to help us. That Wu Dayi was a scoundrel, he saw that our sister and brother had no father, no mother, no relatives and no reason, so he came to our house every day to force me to marry him...... Sister-in-law looks in front of my father. You're going to help us. Xiao Mo said, teary eyes.
"Xiao Mo, don't cry yet, there will always be a way, isn't it? Messire. Yuan Qing looked back at Li Chen and smiled at him. Facing the scoundrels who come to pester Xiao Mo every day. In addition to finding a personal bodyguard for Xiao Mo, it is to convict Wu Dayi of a crime and put him in prison.
I can't think of anything else for the time being.
Li Chen looked at the smile on her delicate face, even if she asked him, she felt pleasing to the eye, especially when she called him a princess...... He nodded faintly.
"Xiao Mo, who is Wu Dayi, where does he live? Is there anyone else in his family? Yuan Qing asked the person concerned like a messenger.
"That Wu Dayi is from this village, his parents died in his early years, he grew up in his father's house, his father doesn't care about him, he doesn't have any relatives, only one sister, his sister is sixteen years old, I heard that she will get married next year......" Xiao Mo said Wu Dayi's family situation.
Yuan Qing nodded, this Wu Dayi has only one younger sister, both parents died, and he lives in his father's house, and his father doesn't care about him, he shouldn't have any backstage...... It's easy to do without a backstage.
This scoundrel belongs to the kind of person who is lazy and lazy in the village, and he can't be hated by people, and there is no way to take him, this kind of person stays in the village, and few people are willing to give him a good face. Such a person is very thick-skinned, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and should be easy to deal with.
"Find a few people to give him some color to see, he shouldn't be so presumptuous." Yuan Qing said very softly.
"I'm afraid he's determined to marry my sister." Xiao Yuan said in a calm and steady voice. Iron-hearted, even if you are scared, you can't be scared away.
"Well, then find someone to guard the Xiao family?" Yuan Qing thought for a while.
"Who are you looking for?" Xiao Yuandao.
In this matter, you have to find the prince, so Yuan Qing looked at Li Chen.
"I'll ask someone to go to the Xiao family to guard it." Li Chen said lightly.
"Thank you, Brother Li." Xiao said from afar, Wu Dayi came to the Xiao family to harass his sister, and this was not something he wanted to see.
"Thank you, Brother Li." Xiao Mo looked at him, her eyebrows grateful, "By the way, I came here today to say goodbye to the two of you, I accidentally injured my foot yesterday, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the construction site to cook for a while." ”
"You hurt your foot? Is it serious? Yuan Qing asked straight to the point.
"It's no big deal, sister-in-law can rest assured, it may take about ten days of rest to be fine." Xiao Mo said with a slight smile.
"It's okay, Xiao Mo, you have a good rest, don't go if you can't go to the construction site, let the three of them cook, and there are enough people." Yuan Qing said quite boldly. After all, is it a "work-related injury" injured on the construction site?
"Hmm." Xiao Mo nodded quite obediently.
"It's almost noon too? Are you hungry? As she spoke, she looked at the three of them, and seeing that the three of them were acquiescing openly and secretly, she said again: "Okay, I'll go make lunch." After speaking, Yuan Qing got up.
"Sister-in-law, I'll help you too." Xiao Mo said.
"Alas, Xiao Mo, your leg is still injured, sit here." Yuan Qing resigned.
"It's okay, sister-in-law, as long as you don't do heavy work, you can go." As he spoke, Xiao Mo got up and said to the two men who were still sitting at the table, one older and one small: "Brother Li, Xiaoyuan, you wait here, my sister-in-law and I went in." ”
"Okay." Li Chen responded lightly, and Xiao Yuan also nodded.
Walking out of the hall, Yuan Qing saw that Xiao Mo was still coming, and she said, "It's time for you to have a good rest." These words came out of Yuan Qing's mouth, and they sounded very comfortable, not the kind of yin and yang weird accusations, and she couldn't do it.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." Xiao Mo said slightly coquettishly like a girl.
"Okay then." Yuan Qing waved his hand helplessly, and then the two of them walked into the kitchen.
The kitchen is not big, just enough for two people to be busy.
"Sister-in-law, you steam rice, I'll cook the dishes, although my skills are not very good, but I have long wanted to make some dishes to thank you." Xiao Mo said humbly.
"That's fine." Yuan Qing nodded, and then washed the pot, washed the rice, lit the fire, and cooked the rice. This cooking action, after so long of training, she still does it like flowing water and makes steady progress.
Yuan Qing squatted on the ground and added firewood to the stove, and here, Xiao Mo's vegetables were also cut, "Sister-in-law, please help me burn the fire." Xiao Mo said. If she had someone to help her cook the fire, it would have been quicker.
"No problem." Yuan Qing replied with a grin, and then put a piece of firewood that was burning vigorously into the belly of the stove next to it, and now she was going to burn the fire of the two stoves.
Xiao Mo's craftsmanship is by no means changed, when she was at the construction site, people praised her craftsmanship, where will it be at this time?
Li Chen and Xiao Yuan were in the hall, they were playing chess, playing chess, the chess that the old man had brought to him had only been played a few days ago.
In the kitchen, two good-looking women are still busy. The smoke is light and rolling, but it is also fragrant rice and fragrant vegetables.
"Miss Yuan, are you ...... Like Brother Li? The two of them who were still chatting just now, suddenly, Xiao Mo asked in a flash.
Hearing this, Yuan Qing was stunned for no reason, like it? After a moment, she smiled indifferently and said, "No." The tone was so crisp that it was impossible to tell that she was lying. Of course, whether this is a lie or not, no one knows, including her.
"That'...... Why are you and him pretending to be husband and wife? Xiao Mo said.
"It's just a helpless move." Yuan Qing said lightly. Indeed, from the first day they came to the village, the way the villagers looked at them was that these two people were a husband and wife...... They can only go along with it, and more simply, they are too lazy to explain so much.
"Miss Yuan, when I said I liked Brother Li, did you ever hate me?" Xiao Mo asked again.
"What do I hate you for? He and I are not really husband and wife. Yuan Qing said indifferently.
"Miss Yuan, you are so good." Xiao Mo said.
"I ......" In the face of her praise, Yuan Qing was speechless, what am I doing? I'm not really his wife, who likes him and what does it matter to me?
"Miss Yuan, the dishes are all cooked, and the rice is almost the same." Xiao Modao sniffed the aroma of rice and said.
"Hmm." Yuan Qing nodded, got up, and no longer added firewood, "Bring the dishes out, I'll serve the rice." ”
"Okay." Xiao Mo took the vegetables and left.
In a few moments, lunch was ready and placed on the table in the hall, ready to eat. The old man did not return, and he said that he would not come back until evening, so the four of them sat around the table and ate with their baskets raised.
"You made this dish?" The dishes on this table looked very different from the previous dishes, Li Chen raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Qing and asked.
"This dish is roasted by Xiao Mo." Yuan Qing was a little embarrassed, didn't he say in public that the dishes I made were not as good as the current dishes? The flesh hurts. To be continued
