Chapter 29: Joy

Talking and smiling with Aunt Sun, the crystal chandelier above her head reflected on the marble slab under her feet, lined with Fang Xuan's smiling face, and the only discordant in the entire hall seemed to be Mei Jinrong, who had a black face behind her.

"Miss Fang, sit down, I'll go get you fruit, last time you came to eat a lot of sweet oranges, the old man saw that you liked it, so he specially asked me to prepare it." Aunt Sun is happy, the old man has been in poor health recently, he is always weak, he has a bad appetite and is very sleepy during the day, Aunt Sun is very worried, now it's okay, the old man likes Miss Fang the most, and now even the gentleman who has lived in the military region for days has come back, the old man must be in a good mood, this mood is good, and his appetite will naturally follow.

Aunt Sun was skillful, and after a while, a beautiful fruit bowl was served, no worse than what was made in the restaurant, and even because the fruit was fresh and rich, it was even more attractive, and during this period, Mei Jinrong wanted to talk to Fang Xuan several times, but she avoided it without a trace, or stood up to look at the famous paintings on the wall, or smelled the roses on the table, anyway, she could always avoid his words, Mei Jinrong was very helpless, he was not a person who could speak, and the other party could avoid it, until Aunt Sun sent the fruit plate, this first sentence was still choked in her throat, If you can't go up or down, it's very uncomfortable.

"Miss Fang, the old man estimates that it will take a while to wake up, I'll cook, do you have any favorite food?" Finally waiting for the time to answer, Mei Jinrong rushed in front of Fang Xuan and hurriedly said: "Simmering is a northerner, Aunt Sun, you make some northern dishes, Simmering has been in Nanjing for so long, you should miss your hometown cuisine very much." After speaking, he smiled at Fang Xuan, but his eyes stared straight at Fang Xuan, as if waiting for her to affirm his proposal.

Fang Xuan frowned and glanced at him, how could this person be more like a patient who had just been discharged from the hospital than himself? Turning his head to Aunt Sun, he said, "Aunt Sun, don't think about me, I like to eat southern food, you can prepare according to your usual schedule, my uncle always says that your craftsmanship is good, I haven't tasted it yet." After speaking, he looked up and smiled at Aunt Sun, looking very cute and cute.

"Hey, then Aunt Sun will cook you more specialty dishes." Aunt Sun happily walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as Aunt Sun left, the atmosphere in the living room was stalemate again, Fang Yan didn't look at Mei Jinrong, and threw himself on the fruit plate, Mei Jinrong didn't give him a look at the little girl, and he was angry, he couldn't compare to a plate of fruit.

"Is it delicious?"

Fang Xuan glanced at him sideways, and pushed the fruit plate towards him, but he didn't have any intention of talking, Fang Xuan looked gentle and gentle on weekdays, and he was very good at talking to everything, but the more such a person, it was the hardest to turn back if he was really stubborn, and the most active person in the entire Fang family was the third child who was the most unobtrusive on weekdays.

Mei Jinrong stays in the military region all the year round, facing a group of rough old men, who almost have little intersection with women on weekdays, not to mention the current situation, it is indeed her own fault, Mei Jinrong watched the little girl gnaw the oranges in her hand one after another, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her heart.

"Are oranges delicious?" Fang Xuan glanced at him inexplicably, but now she can only be regarded as a guest, the scholarly family of the Fang family, although Fang Xuan has been pampered by several brothers since childhood, he is also very polite. I was still angry that Mei Jinrong would open her mouth to deceive the words, but she had a short mouth, looked at the sweet orange in her hand, and remembered that the old man said that it was specially shipped from other places, Fang Xuan reluctantly said "um".

Mei Jinrong saw that the little girl was willing to take care of herself, her heart was a lot lighter, and she also had a smile on her face: "Then when you eat, I'll ask Aunt Sun to bring you more home." ”

"Don't." Saying that, Fang Xuan reluctantly glanced at the orange in his hand, and then put it back on the plate, he couldn't control his mouth and cause trouble, and he couldn't be pinched by that person because of these oranges.

This is contrary to what Mei Jinrong thought, the little girl should have happily agreed, and then even if this matter was turned over, I didn't expect that people would refuse very decisively, and in this current situation, Rao is the chief of staff of Mei, who is handy in the military region, and he doesn't know what to do.

The atmosphere that finally eased down was cold again, it wasn't that Mei Jinrong was angry, he was now in his whole mind, what should this little girl do when she was angry.

"In this way, it can be regarded as my filial piety to Mrs. Meng, after all, I will call grandma later." Mei Jinrong felt that this method was very good, not only to save the little girl's face, but also to catch up.

Fang Xuan, who had been bowing his head, suddenly glared at him with a red face: "Who, who is your grandmother, you person, why are you shouting." ”

"Why am I shouting, you ........" Mei Jinrong was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Sir, it's time to eat." It was a young girl, with a pair of braids, and her appearance was delicate, but there was a dark purple birthmark behind her left ear all the way to her neck.

"Let's go, let's eat first." Mei Jinrong got up and walked to the opposite side of Fang Xuan and waited.

"Huh? Oh good. Fang Xuan got up, smiled politely at the girl and nodded, and walked past her to Mei Jinrong's side.

While the two walked towards the restaurant, Fang Xuan asked Mei Jinrong, "Aren't we waiting for uncle?" ”

"You call him uncle?" Mei Jinrong was surprised.

"Well, the old man asked me to call him uncle."

"He's got his mouth open." Mei Jinrong sneered.

"What?" Fang Xuan didn't hear clearly.

"It's okay, but my father seems to be about the same age as Mrs. Meng, doesn't it feel awkward to call him uncle?" Mei Jinrong unbuttoned the cuffs of the military lining, and bowed his head slightly to accommodate Fang Xuan's height.

"But if I call your father and grandfather, wouldn't I call you uncle?" Fang Xuan raised his head and widened his eyes, and asked in distress.

Mei Jinrong froze for a moment, raised her head and tried to keep her composure: "Forget it, since my father has already said that, don't dismiss the old man's mind." "Uncle? She figured it out.

"Oh, okay then." Fang Xuan looked at the person in front of him who had obviously quickened his pace, lowered his head and snickered, like a fishy cat.

When she sat down at the table, Aunt Sun brought the soup and put down the casserole, and Aunt Sun shouted behind Fang Xuan: "Xiaoya, what are you in a daze, hurry up and come over to help me serve the food." ”

Fang Xuan turned her head to look in the direction of Aunt Sun, the girl was obviously frightened by this sound, and suddenly came back to her senses, seeing Fang Xuan looking at herself, she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, but she still couldn't help but look secretly here, Fang Xuan hadn't seen her in the Mei Mansion several times, she felt strange, and turned around to look at Mei Jinrong suspiciously.

Mei Jinrong helped Fang Xuan scoop a small bowl of soup, I have to say that the soup made by southerners is really a must, even in a place like Nanjing, which is not particularly south, the difference between the diet of the north and the south is particularly obvious, compared to the reality of Fengtian, the soup here is really much finer.

The pork ribs were cut into small pieces, and ginger slices were put to remove the fishy, as well as yams, wolfberries, longan, tangerine peel and other medicinal materials. It's just that this time there are more recipes for stew, and there are more medicinal herbs, and there are many good things for girls.

Mei Jinrong saw Fang Xuan drink a few mouthfuls of soup in a row, smiling like a lazy kitten, and her heart was also a lot more relaxed. picked up the chopsticks and added a piece of osmanthus duck, put it into Fang Xuan's bowl, and then said: "Sun Ya is Aunt Sun's daughter, and she is usually in charge of cleaning, usually in the backyard, so you haven't seen her." It satisfies the little girl's curiosity.
