Chapter 43 Life is to eat meat and drink wine

Listening to the wind and rain, two children crowded outside the door and eavesdropped.

Ai Qiaoqiao opened several other bowls on the table and took chopsticks to pick up the dishes for Ye Li.

When Ye Liyan saw her pick up the chopsticks and put them in front of her, a trace of darkness passed in the depths of her eyes.

Although his wrist injury is healed, the strength of his fingers is insufficient, let alone holding chopsticks, so he will send them out when he is eating recently, just because he doesn't want others to see his embarrassment.

I thought that he would leave the night and die to be self-defeating, but he didn't expect that he would be reduced to the point of being a waste person who was served.

Ai Qiaoqiao put the chopsticks in front of him and directly picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of cold eggplant torn into thin strips on the plate.

"Childe tastes this."

Neatly stacked with torn eggplants, sprinkled with red chili rings, emerald green coriander and garlic, and topped with sauce.

Before Ye Liyan's hand touched the chopsticks, Ai Qiaoqiao's chopsticks were handed over.

I still want to feed him as he is.

The night is a little unsettled.

He looked up at the expression on Ai Qiaoqiao's face, and he felt that the two little guys outside must have said something to her.

Otherwise, how could a girl's family be generous enough to do such an errand of serving people here.

Ai Qiaoqiao raised his head when he saw Ye Liyan coming over, and the smile on his face did not decrease, "Childe, hurry up and open your mouth, otherwise the sauce will drip onto your clothes." ”

Ye Liyan couldn't refuse, so he had to open his mouth.

Ai Qiaoqiao couldn't help frowning when she saw him half-open mouth.

"When you eat, you have to be happy, my father often said that the most pleasant thing in the world is to eat a large piece of meat, a big bowl of wine, as long as you eat deliciously, sleep deeply, what kind of troubles will be swept away."

The action of the night leaving the dead and chewing the vegetables was stagnant.

Looking at the sincere smiling face of the little girl in front of him, a sour feeling rose in his heart inexplicably.

"Childe will try this again, fish fillet porridge." Ai Qiaoqiao picked up the bowl and scooped up a large spoonful of porridge.

Ye Liyan subconsciously opened his mouth slightly.

Ai Qiaoqiao stopped the spoon in mid-air.

"No, open your mouth wide." She opened her mouth wide towards the Night, who could almost see the little tongue in her throat.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

He really didn't see the wrong person, this little girl is definitely a lovely person.

Don't look at her age, but she is very thoughtful, and she doesn't have the dirty thoughts of a wealthy family.

It was a habit he had cultivated since he was a child, and everyone had to be a "gentleman" at the master's place, so over the years, he could not remember when he was so comfortable.

He opened his mouth wide, and Ai Qiaoqiao smiled and fed a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

"How's it going, is it delicious?" Ai Qiaoqiao is quite complacent.

She seems to be extremely confident in her craft.

Ai Qiaoqiao fed more vegetables, and took it happily at night.

In one breath, he swept away the dishes on the table.

"By the way, have you eaten it?" Seeing Ai Qiaoqiao tidying up the table, Ye Liyan suddenly asked.

"Nope." Ai Qiaoqiao replied while busy, "I will take my mother back to the village in a while, and I don't have time to eat." ”

"Then bring some to eat on the way." Ye Liyu said lightly.

Hearing this, Ai Qiaoqiao was a little surprised.

In her eyes, Ye Liyan is an extremely light person, although she knows that he is a good person, but she has never seen such a direct gesture of goodwill to people.

When Yeli rescued her on the road, the two got along in the carriage for many days, even if he would feed her medicine with his own hands, he was all straight faced, looking like he was doing business.

Before you know it, are they already so acquainted?

Ai Qiaoqiao shook her head secretly and shook off this "unrealistic" idea.

The other party is a miracle doctor who died at night, she is just a little girl in the countryside, he just asked casually, what is she thinking.

After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Ai Qiaoqiao bowed his knees to the night and prepared to withdraw.

"Qiaoqiao......" Ye Lixian suddenly stopped her.

Ai Qiaoqiao was slightly stunned.

He used to call her Qiaoqiao girl.

Such an intimate title made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Childe, you might as well call me by my name."

Ye Liyan lowered his eyes and looked at the white porcelain tea cup in front of him, and he didn't know if he had heard her words seriously.

"Qiaoqiao...... If one day, you won't be able to cook anymore, will you feel regretful? ”

"Can't cook?" Ai Qiaoqiao tilted her head, "What does Childe refer to?" ”

Ye Liyan paused, "For example, you lost what the chef relied on to survive. ”

"Like taste?"

"Yes, if you lose your sense of taste and the food you make is no longer liked, will you feel sorry?" ”

Ai Qiaoqiao pouted and thought for a while, "I want to ...... Regrets are inevitable, but they don't make me regret them for the rest of my life. ”

"Oh? Don't you like to cook, and if you can't do what you love anymore, won't you be sad for the rest of your life? ”

Ai Qiao suddenly laughed, "Although I am a country girl, I don't understand the big truths you said, but my father once told me when he was alive that in this life, life is the hardest, as long as you don't die, you have to stand up, unless you have no hope of survival, then close your eyes, kick your legs cleanly, and you don't have to worry about the second half of your life painfully." ”

"Just like me and my mother, although my mother's illness may never be cured, life must go on, as long as you live, people can always see hope."

Ye Liyan leaned back on the couch, his eyes seemed to be dyed with a faint moisture, and he looked at Ai Qiaoqiao thoughtfully.

"Aren't you really thinking about staying with me as a cook?"

Hearing this, Ai Qiaoqiao solemnly blessed again.

"I know that my son has a great favor to me, I shouldn't have refused, even if I don't want to be paid, I should have agreed, but the situation in my family is really difficult......"

"Is it because two taels of silver are missing?" Ye Liyan said indifferently, "If it's inconvenient, I can add some more to you." ”

"No, no." Ai Qiaoqiao waved her hand hurriedly, "It's not less, I mean, it's too much......"

"Too much?" Ye Lixian frowned.

He has only seen people who dislike the low salary, and he has never seen anyone who dislikes the too much salary.

"I told Shopkeeper Xu that day, didn't he tell Childe?" Ai Qiaoqiao was a little surprised, she originally thought that Shopkeeper Xu would tell Ye Liyan about her.

"Shopkeeper Xu is not in Huai'an City these days." Ye Li's brows frowned slightly.

Shopkeeper Xu left Huai'an City in order to find medicine for him, and he was in a hurry to leave, and he didn't have time to ask about her family.

Ai Qiaoqiao had no choice but to talk about her family's affairs in general.

That night, when he heard that Lan's foot injury was injured by Ai Qiaoqiao's second aunt, he looked at Ai Qiaoqiao with more inquiring eyes.

"Are you worried that if you go to the city to become a cook, your family will treat your mother badly?"

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled bitterly.

If it was really just a mistreatment, they obviously wanted to find an opportunity to kill them.

"What would you think if I allowed you to bring your mother to work with me?" Ye Liwu said slowly.

This seemed to be something he said casually, but to Ai Qiaoqiao's ears, it was extremely heartwarming.

She is desperately trying to make money, isn't it just to leave the Ai family with her mother as soon as possible and come out to set up another door.

The proposal to leave the night really made her think alive.
