The kitchen was filled with all kinds of fragrances, and even Zhou Duchan, who had never been particular about eating, couldn't help but want to swallow his saliva, Xiao Man sat on the small bench and held his little face, holding a fan and gently fanning the fire, looking at his expression as if he was worried.

Zhou Duchan stood still and shouted softly, "Little Man......." ”

Xiao Man saw that it was Zhou Duchan coming, and he was so happy that he jumped up from the stool all of a sudden, pulled Zhou Duchan's sleeve, and smiled coquettishly, "You're back, are you hungry?" Would you like to eat something?"

This enthusiastic appearance made Zhou Duchan a little surprised, Zhou Duchan, who usually insisted on not eating for lunch, looked at Xiao Man's expectant look, nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I'm a little hungry." ”

"Oh, great, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to finish eating now, I can get out of the pot, it's just the right time for you to come back."

Xiao Man was holding the plate and the bowl again, and Zhou Duchan shouted, "Someone." ”

A few old ladies soon came in, "What's the matter with the young master?" ”

"Bring the food out and bring it to the hall." After speaking, Zhou Duchan took Xiao Man's hand and left.

A round table, two people facing each other, there are seven or eight dishes on the table, "Is it just the two of us eating?" Your mother and your sister. ”

Zhou Duchan was originally holding chopsticks and reaching out to pick up vegetables, but when he heard Xiaoman say this, he put down the chopsticks again, with sadness in his expression, "The two of them eat in their own rooms." ”

"Why do you want to eat by yourself in the room, how lively it is for a family to eat together, how can you eat together when you eat alone."

Zhou Duchan turned to the maid next to him and said, "Go and invite Mrs. and Miss to come." ”

The maid replied yes, turned and walked out of the hall.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came, and Zhou Duchan didn't look back, but Xiao Man saw from his expression that he was still looking forward to it.

"Young master, the young lady is in Madame's room, Madame said that the young master will eat it, and they won't come."

Although he had already guessed that the result would be like this, Zhou Duchan couldn't help but be disappointed.

Xiao Man walked to Zhou Duchan's side at this time and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "It's okay, if they don't come, we can go over, I don't believe they can resist the food I made myself." ”

Xiaoman beckoned to the maids, serving dishes and bowls, "Why are you stunned, help, you have served that big pot of roast beef, hurry up, or it will be cold later." ”

Zhou and Zhou Anhui were drinking tea, and then they heard the maid say that the young master was coming, and the two were very surprised that Zhou Duchan rarely came, could it be that there was something.

Zhou Anhui helped Zhou up, "Mother, is there something wrong with my brother, why did he come over?" ”

"I don't know, let's go and take a look."

Xiao Man stopped at the door and let Zhou Duchan go in first.

Zhou Duchan held a pot of braised beef in his hand and appeared in front of the two of Zhou, and Zhou and Zhou Anhui were shocked.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

"Eat,......" said the basin on the table, and then waved his hand and said, "Come in and put it here." ”

Xiao Man also followed and put the braised fish in his hand on the table.

Zhou Duchan waved his hand, the maids all went down, and Xiao Man stood behind Zhou Duchan and greeted Zhou and Zhou Anhui.

"Hello Mrs. Zhou, hello Miss."

Zhou looked at Xiao Man and turned to Zhou Duchan, "Who is this little girl?" ”

"Mother, this is Xiaoman, who saved my life when I was in Peach Blossom Town before."

Zhou Anhui heard it, "Oh, it turns out that you are Xiaoman." "

Xiao Man looked at Zhou Anhui with a smile.

Zhou Anhui saw Xiao Man looking at her, and couldn't help but dodge sideways, there was a scar on the left side of her face, but she found that Xiao Man didn't seem to find her scar at all, and her demeanor was calm.

"Mother, these meals are all made by Xiaoman, let's try it."

Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Anhui looked at the table and were surprised, "Is such a table made by Xiaoman?" ”

"Yes, ma'am, I usually like to eat the most, and I like to think about it when I have nothing to do, if you don't dislike it, please sit down and try it."

Mrs. Zhou pulled Zhou Anhui to sit down, in fact, Zhou Anhui is also a snack, she secretly glanced at it several times when Xiaoman came in with food, this table is full of color, flavor and flavor.

Xiao Man stood next to him and put a bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge, put it in front of Mrs. Zhou, and said sweetly: "Madame, this is called preserved egg and lean porridge is salty, you can taste it and see if you like it." ”

"Oh, the first time I've heard of salty porridge." Mrs. Zhou cocked her lotus fingers, picked up the spoon, and took a sip gently, "The grace is just right, it melts in the mouth, and it has the aroma of meat." ”

Zhou Anhui's eyes were staring at the bowl of porridge, her foodie nature had been hooked out.

Xiao Man gave another bowl to Zhou Anhui, "Miss Zhou, you can taste it too." ”

Zhou Duchan waited for a long time and didn't see Xiao Man give himself sheng, a little unhappy, after seeing that the mother and sister on the other side were half eaten, he couldn't help but put the bowl in front of Xiao Man, and said lightly: "I want it too." ”

"Oh yes, right now."

After receiving the porridge handed over by Xiaoman, Zhou Duchan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and finally ate it.

Mrs. Zhou ate a bowl of porridge, only felt warm in her stomach, took Xiao Man's hand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Man, sit down and eat, don't stand." ”

Xiaoman sat next to Mrs. Zhou, and from time to time picked up chopsticks to Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Anhui to pick up vegetables, or not beef will not gain weight after eating, carrots eat good skin, etc., Xiaoman said a few little jokes from time to time Everyone was happy, everyone at the dinner table talked and laughed quickly The dish was finished, and the porridge also bottomed out.

Since leaving that place, this is the first time in the family that the family has sat down to eat together, and there is laughter and warmth in the house, and my mother and sister have not laughed so much in a long time, and they have not had such a good appetite for a long time.

"Mrs. Zhou, Miss Zhou, we have eaten a little bit today, we still have to take a walk just after eating, which is better for our health, let's take a walk in the yard together."

Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Anhui both looked dark, but looking at Xiao Man's expectant eyes, both of them couldn't bear to refuse, nodded and said, "Let's go for a walk, I think I really ate a little too much today, and my stomach is a little swollen." ”

Mrs. Zhou took Xiaoman with one hand and Zhou Anhui with the other, walked through the verandah, and came to the garden, but unfortunately no one cleaned up the garden, and there were not a few flowers to the grass growing very well, Mrs. Zhou looked a little embarrassed, "Hey, why did this garden grow like this." ”

Zhou Duchan followed behind, looking at the crazy growth of the grass and felt that it was also a bit of an eyesore, "Come on, pull out this grass." ”

Mrs. Zhou looked at the garden and continued to walk forward, the three of them walked to the edge of the pond, and the smell of sludge was a little foul, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but cover her nose with a handkerchief, "This smell is really bad, such a good pond is ruined, why is it rotting here." ”
