Chapter Twenty-Three: Rice and Stories
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all scattered, you wait, Ning'er will do it all over again." After cleaning up the debris on the ground, Zhang Ning panicked and apologized to Xu Shuo and the two.
Xu Shuo shook his head with a smile, and Xiu'er said to Zhang Ning with a smile: "This sister, are you called Ning'er, can I call you Ning'er, my surname is Liang, my name is Xiu'er, Sister Ning'er can call me Sister Xiu'er." ”
Zhang Ning, who was blushing and at a loss, heard Xiu'er's words and hurriedly nodded, "Okay... Good. ”
"Then I'll call you Sister Ning'er, it's also wrong for my sister's meal to knock us down, if Sister Ning'er, where is the stove room, I'll go with my sister to cook for my husband, and now my husband hasn't eaten my food for a long time." After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Xu Shuo.
Xu Shuo, who was looking at the bed, was embarrassed to touch his head.
Zhang Ning saw that Xu Shuo and Xiu'er were very affectionate, and her heart was sour, but she still had a smile on her face, leaking her small dimples, and the little tiger teeth were cute, and she pretended to be naughty and said to Xiu'er: "Then Ning'er will come to help my sister." ”
After speaking, Zhang Ning took Xiu'er to the stove room, and when he entered the stove room, it was not like the kind of big family that had everything, it was very luxurious, but it was as ordinary as ordinary people's homes.
Xiu'er rolled up her sleeves and was ready to work, so Zhang Ning watched it for a long time, only to see Xiu'er walking smoothly, and began to slice some ingredients or washed meat with a knife, only to see that the action was not very elegant but very energetic, as if it had been done many times, which made people feel very skilled.
Zhang Ning saw that Xiu'er started to do it, and she didn't seem to be able to help anything, so she ran to Xiu'er and said to Xiu'er, who was busy: "Sister Xiu'er, I see that you are busy, so what is Ning'er doing, Ning'er wants to help her sister." ”
In fact, Zhang Ning thinks that Xiu'er is much better than her, and she can't do anything herself, she can only boil porridge, and even boiled porridge Sometimes even his father Zhang Jiao doesn't dare to drink it, either this taste is wrong or that taste is wrong, in short, it is very bad, looking at the flowing water of Xiu'er cooking in front of him, Zhang Ning felt very surprised and unconvinced, and also wanted to learn secretly on the side.
"Then my sister will help my sister wash the vegetables, thank you, sister." Xiu'er was busy cutting meat and said to Zhang Ning on the side.
"Okay." After agreeing, Zhang Ning picked up the dishes on the side and put them in the basin to clean them, chatting with Xiu'er while cleaning, wanting to know how Xiu'er and Xu Shuo met.
"Sister, how did you and your husband meet and become husband and wife, Ning'er wants to hear the story of your sister and husband."
"Me and him, it's incredible to think about it, if your sister and I hadn't been with my husband, I might not have known where the body was buried." Xiu'er remembered Xu Shuo at that time, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
Zhang Ning saw Xiu'er's eyes full of tender interest and came, "Sister, tell Ning'er," Zhang Ning said to Xiu'er coquettishly.
"Okay, then I'll tell Sister Ning'er how my husband and I met each other and got together again."
In fact, Xiu'er loves Xu Shuo very much in her heart, and it is Xu Shuo who gives her hope to live, but she always feels that she is not worthy of Xu Shuo, Xu Shuo is a talent and she is just a mountain village woman, there are a few big characters from time to time, and she can't help Xu Shuo, she always feels that she is very useless, seeing that Zhang Ning seems to like Xu Shuo very much, and Zhang Ning is also the daughter of Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong, the background is so big that Xiu'er feels that Zhang Ning is more compatible with Xu Shuo, so Zhang Ning will give her careful answers to whatever Xiu'er asks, except for things that are unfavorable to Xu Shuo, you can tell Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning washed the vegetables and put them in front of Xiu'er, sat on a small bench, and waited for Xiu'er to tell her their story.
And Xiu'er was busy talking, talking about how Xu Shuo saved her, how he married her, and the story in Luoyang, and joked from time to time that Xu Shuo didn't give her an official wedding.
Zhang Ning, who was sitting on the side, supported her cute little head with her little hands, listened carefully to Xiu'er, didn't want to miss a word, listened attentively, and was very envious that Xiu'er could meet Xu Shuo.
"Okay, this is the story of me and my husband knowing each other, come to Ning'er, can you do my sister a favor." Xiu'er is ready for everything.
After coming back to his senses and listening to the finished speech, Zhang Ning jumped up and said to Xiu'er with a mischievous smile when he heard the words: "Sister, what are you doing, you tell Ning'er, Ning'er will do it immediately"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm bothering my sister to burn the stove, I'm going to cook for my husband, and I'm a little too different." Xiu'er said to Zhang Ning while wiping the sweat from her forehead.
After hearing the answer, Zhang Ning lit the stove.
After a while, the meal was ready, and the food on the table was so beautiful that it made people very appetizing.
Zhang Ning, who finished burning the stove, saw that Xiu'er was ready, jumped to the table, looked at the dishes made by Xiu'er, her eyes lit up, and then she hurriedly took a piece of chopsticks and tasted it.
"Hot... "Because Zhang Ning was too anxious, the temperature of the dish had just come out of the pot and not yet dropped, Zhang Ning was holding the dish in his mouth and jumping vigorously while saying that it was hot and blowing.
Xiu'er on the side was happy, Zhang Ning made herself into a big flower face because of the fire, and ran to eat such a hot dish, as cute as a little girl.
Zhang Ning, who swallowed the dish, finally stopped screaming, and then picked up a piece and tasted it carefully, because the first piece was too urgent, so he didn't taste anything.
"It's delicious, my sister's cooking is delicious." After tasting a piece, Zhang Ning looked at the food on the table, and picked up the chopsticks to prepare to eat a few pieces.
Xiu'er came over and persuaded Zhang Ning with a smile: "Sister can't be greedy, this is made for her husband, and my sister won't have to eat if she eats her husband." ”
Zhang Ning didn't want to eat it, but in the end he couldn't help but eat it, and drooled at the dishes on the table.
Xiu'er smiled and shook her head, and asked Zhang Ning to help her bring all the food on the table to Xu Shuo's room.
Zhang Ning served the food and wanted to eat it secretly on the way, but he stopped by a few glances from Xiu'er and didn't move.
Xu Shuo on the bed was already hungry, and Xiu'er smelled the aroma of food before they entered the house.
The two put the food on the table, and Xiu'er walked to the side of the bed to help Xu Shuo on the bed, which made Zhang Ning very envious on the side.
Xu Shuo, who was sitting on the bench, first looked at it, sniffed it, and then began to gobble it up desperately, there was no politeness at all, and his appearance was very ugly.
"Husband, eat slowly, there's more."
Xiu'er on the side was afraid that Xu Shuo would choke on eating too quickly, so she hurriedly poured water for Xu Shuo.
"Uh... Madame's food is still so delicious, it is better than those chefs in my previous life, if I use my wife's cooking skills in my previous life, it will definitely be at the level of a kitchen god. Xu Shuo praised Xiu'er for cooking deliciously while eating, which made Zhang Ning on the side very tasteful, after all, watching others show affection and like one of them, the taste can be imagined.
"Husband is talking nonsense again, what kind of kitchen god, why has Xiu'er never heard of it?" Xiu'er looked at Xu Shuo with a smile.
Xu Shuo saw that he had said the wrong thing again, and shook his head while eating: "No... Belch... It's nothing. ”
Because of the meal answer Xiu'er choked, Xu Shuo beat his chest hard, Xiu'er saw Xu Shuo choking and hurriedly poured water for Xu Shuo, Xu Shuo picked up the water and poured it directly into his mouth and drank it, Xu Shuo, who was good, suddenly relaxed and continued to eat.
Xiu'er saw that Xu Shuo liked to eat the dishes he made, and her eyes were full of sweetness.
After finishing eating, after Xiu'er and Zhang Ning cleaned up, Zhang Ning went back to the room to think about how to get Xu Shuo's favor for her, so that Xu Shuo would like her and marry her.
At this time, Xu Shuo sat on the stool and drank tea leisurely after eating, digesting the contents of his stomach.
Xiu'er sat aside and told Xu Shuo about everything that Zhang Ning asked her when she was cooking.
Xu Shuo shook his head with a wry smile and sighed.
"Husband, I see that Ning'er still likes you very much, for the sake of your husband, you have been asking me about me and your husband, and cooking for your husband, my husband can't ignore it, it's not good to hang people all the time." Xiu'er said to Xu Shuo.
Xu Shuo smiled: "Maybe Ning'er just has a good impression of me because I saved her father, maybe it's just Xiu'er's guess, in case people don't mean anything to your husband, it wouldn't be very bad." ”
"No, husband, Xiu'er is also a woman, women know women best, Xiu'er feels that Ning'er's kind of care is not the kind of kindness, maybe the husband thinks it's nothing, but Xiu'er's door is not good, and I always feel that I am not worthy of my husband, or my husband marries Ning'er, and Xiu'er is willing to give her husband a concubine." As she spoke, Xiu'er's eyes turned red.
Xu Shuo saw that Xiu'er was wronged, and hurriedly hugged Xiu'er, and said softly while comforting: "Xiu'er, Shuo doesn't feel that Xiu'er is not worthy of Shuo, if Shuo doesn't meet Xiu'er, I'm afraid I don't know where it is, Xiu'er is God's wife to Shuo, Xiu'er doesn't have to be arrogant, Shuo shouldn't be worthy of you, I have never felt that Xiu'er is not worthy of me, Xiu'er will not be allowed to do this in the future, you know, Xiu'er is Xu Shuo's wife, no matter what will change in the future, I Xu Shuo swears here." ”
Xiu'er hurriedly covered Xu Shuo's lips, who hadn't finished speaking, and said to Xu Shuo: "Xiu'er believes in her husband, and your husband doesn't have to swear." Because in ancient times, oaths were very favorable, and if they did not keep their vows, they would lose all morality and be disliked by everyone, just like rats crossing the street, and everyone shouted and moved, and there was no place for the world to be big.
"Husband Xiu'er knows that she is wrong, Xiu'er will never say this kind of thing in the future to anger her husband, then husband, what should Ning'er's sister do, I think my husband must not let people down, otherwise my husband will be scolded by others as a sanctimonious hypocrite." Xiu'er said to Xu Shuo with a smile.
Xu Shuo was very happy in his heart, this kind of good thing, I wish I could have a little more, you think Zhang Ning, Zhang Jiao's daughter, even if he lives up to the court, he will praise his merits, not to mention that if he receives it, he can better unify the yellow scarf, listen to him, this kind of good thing can't wait to come again, haha, Xu Shuo's heart is happy, but it is not easy to attack in front of Xiu'er.
With a gentle face, Xiu'er quipped: "This matter is not for Xiu'er to meddle in, how to follow fate later, if there is really fate, they will come together, if there is no fate, even if it is forced, there will be no good result, and Zhang Jiao is such a daughter, people don't know if they agree or not, what are you doing here!" ”
Xiu'er covered her mouth and laughed after hearing this.
Xu Shuo looked at Xiu'er's posture of covering her mouth very charmingly, and couldn't help but take Xiu'er's hand and kiss her Yin Tao's mouth.
After picking up Xiu'er with one hand and throwing it directly on the bed, Xiu'er was surprised that Xu Shuo seemed to know what Xu Shuo was going to do later, and hurriedly said: "No, husband, it's daytime, don't do this." ”
Xu Shuo didn't respond to her, gently pulled down the curtain, and then ...... Three thousand words are omitted here...
