Chapter 44: Not a servant
As soon as Xu Zhongdong arrived home, his face changed: "Nonsense, Ruyi, she is not our maid." ”
Song Li pursed her lips disapprovingly: "The cook at home has something to ask for leave, can't I do it?" She's idle anyway. ”
"You ......"
Someone on the side persuaded: "Okay, okay, since it's all done, let's try the cooking skills we want." ”
Someone immediately chimed in: "The little girl made such a big table of dishes by herself, it's amazing." ”
Some people also turned their heads to look in the direction of the kitchen: "What about Ruyi?" Tell her to come and eat with her. ”
Xu Qibao immediately jumped out of the chair: "I'll call." ”
After a while, Jiang Ruyi walked over holding Qibao's hand.
Xu Zhongdong looked at her apologetically, and his tone was gentle: "Ruyi, hard work." ”
Jiang Ruyi smiled: "It's okay, I just don't know if it's to everyone's taste." ”
"You also sit down and eat together."
Jiang Ruyi didn't refuse, and it happened that there was a vacant seat next to Xu Zhongbei, so she sat down.
There are not so many rules for family dinners, and after a while, the table is lively.
Second uncle Xu Zhongxi gave Jiang Ruyi a thumbs up: "Good cooking skills, worthy of praise." ”
The second aunt also echoed with a smile: "Our family Ruyi looks gentle and gentle, but I didn't expect that the dishes are not sloppy at all, such a large table of dishes, if I let me get them, I don't think I can even get three." ”
The third aunt Liao Qing couldn't help but praise her: "This kelp tofu soup looks usual, I just tasted it, it's very fresh, Ruyi, how did you make this soup?" ”
Jiang Ruyi was embarrassed to be praised, and her little face flushed slightly: "I added a spoonful of beef bone broth and a drop of salt." ”
"I really didn't taste the beef bone broth."
Hearing everyone praise Jiang Ruyi like this, Song Li, who has always looked at her unpleasantly, rarely has a good face.
After everyone praised Jiang Ruyi, they quickly changed the topic, women talked about clothes and beauty, men talked about military and economy, and children were full of food and drink, so they made an appointment to go to the yard to play.
Jiang Ruyi has been sitting there quietly, eating the meal in front of her obediently.
When I was drinking the soup, I accidentally spilled some of the soup out.
The tissue was a little far away from her, and she was about to get up to get it, when an arm suddenly stretched out, and the man's slender fingers took the tissue and threw it straight in front of her.
Jiang Ruyi: "......"
She turned her head to look at him, but Xu Zhongbei didn't look at her, but chatted with Xu Zhongnan beside her.
Jiang Ruyi retracted his gaze, silently pulled out a few pieces of paper, and wiped the soup spilled on his clothes.
A meal that the family ate for almost three hours.
By the time it was over, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
Eat and drink to your heart's content, and go home separately.
Jiang Ruyi was the last to leave.
Song Li called her again and said something that was not painful, which was nothing more than asking her to go to see Xu Junye often.
You should also keep yourself clean and don't embarrass yourself.
Jiang Ruyi neither nodded nor shook his head, listened silently, and left quietly.
When I returned to the Begonia Courtyard, I passed by the football field and saw Qibao playing there alone.
She walked over, found a random spot, and sat down cross-legged.
I'm a little tired today.
She didn't call him, just sat and watched him kick, much calmer.
Not long after, Xu Qibao saw her and immediately ran towards her happily.
The little guy pounced on her directly, he was not small, and Jiang Ruyi was directly knocked down by him.
Seeing her being knocked down, the little guy giggled happily: "Hahaha Ruyi, you are too weak." ”
The little guy was still lying on top of her, his little furry head rubbing back and forth between his neck, tickling her all over.
couldn't help laughing: "Qibao, don't make trouble, get up quickly." ”
"Don't, don't, Ruyi is so fragrant, I like it so much."
