After the war was short ended, Zheng He was finally able to take Nanxiang to dinner.

He took Nanxiang to the kitchen to find food.

After a day's journey, the two of them were already hungry.

Zheng He's pocket was empty, he had been bent on saving up for the passage into Beijing, so he didn't pay attention to what Nan Xiang ate a few days ago.

However, what he eats himself is worse than that given to Nanxiang.

He sometimes eats twice a day, and only when Nan Xiang is hungry will he cook supper for her, otherwise he will not eat dinner when he is alone.

Because it's too extravagant......

Nan Xiang can have a lunch in the children's center during the day. Although it is not much, it is also thanks to the good heart of the steward that she can eat for free.

Although Zheng He wanted to let this little thing eat more, the steward was willing to take Nan Xiang in, Zheng He was already very grateful, where did he dare to ask others for food.

Not only did Nan Xiang eat badly, but he himself ate one meal during the day, and then rubbed it in the school at noon.

At the end of the day, he can finish with two meals, and he usually tries to save himself.

He saw that Nan Xiang was thin, and suddenly felt a little distressed, so he touched her little head, "Are you hungry?" ”

Nan Xiang bit her fingers and had already starved to death. "Brother, I'm so hungry..."

Zheng He sighed, and suddenly secretly hated that he was destitute and made his little fool hungry.

The rice jar at home is empty again, and he can't cook any nutritious rice.

Now this little guy is waiting to be fed with a mouth, which really makes Zheng He embarrassed.

"There it is!" Zheng He suddenly remembered that the mountain man uncle he met at the bottom of the mountain that day happened to give him a few pieces of wild boar.

Now it's okay, he can finally make a nutritious meal for Nan Xiang to make up for it.

But Zheng was still here, Zheng He wouldn't cook meat so blatantly, so he pulled Nan Xiang and ran quickly into the field

Their pace was so fast that Zheng couldn't catch up at all, so she glared at the two of them with hatred and left the back, cursing and scolding in her mouth, but she had to stop and gasp for breath.

"Brother? Where are we going? ”

Nanxiang didn't know where they were going yet. So he tilted his head and asked Zheng He.

"Brother will take you to eat something delicious." Zheng He smiled and took her hand and walked all the way to the mountain field.

When Nan Xiang heard that there was something delicious, she really followed him obediently.

Seeing her gluttony, Zheng He had to assume, "If someone gives this guy a piece of meat to eat one day." Will this little thing just run away with people??? ”

Inexplicably, Zheng He suddenly became worried......

Nan Xiang followed Zheng He all the way to the field, and she didn't quite understand what they could eat here.

So he looked up and asked Zheng He, "Brother, where is the delicious food?" ”

Zheng He pointed to the charcoal pit by the river, "Nuo, it's there." ”

In the past, when Zheng He had no money to eat, he would come to the mountains and fields to catch gophers, and then dig a pit in the field, build an iron shelf and make himself a barbecue to eat.

Sometimes he would go down to the river to catch fish.

And his ability to hide things is also top-notch.

He hid the pork that Uncle Shanmin gave him yesterday, so that he could make a barbecue for this little thing in the field.

When Nan Xiang heard that there was meat to eat, she immediately screamed excitedly. "Whoa, barbecue!!"

She hugged Zheng He and rubbed happily on his face.

Zheng He smiled and touched her head, and then asked her to help pick up the branches.

Nan Xiang happily ran to pick up branches, she was full of energy, and she was not tired of going back and forth.

Zheng He set up a shelf, put on the fire, and began to roast wild boar.

He threaded the meat on the iron rod and let the fire sizzle.

Nan Xiang smelled the smell of meat, and immediately looked at Zheng He with admiration on her face, she was like a kitten next to Zheng He and coquettish, "Brother, the meat is so fragrant." ”

Although her words were said to Zheng He, her eyes were always on the barbecue.

Zheng He shook his head with a smile, "It'll be fine right away, wait a while." ”

Zheng He couldn't afford salt, but he learned a lot of knowledge, and he had seen in books that salt essence would form on the mountain rocks, so he would collect a little every time he went up the mountain.

He sprinkled salt grains on the roasted meat, and it tasted even more fragrant.

Nan Xiang couldn't bear the mood of wanting to eat, and when she stretched out her little hand, she wanted to grab it directly.

Zheng He was taken aback by her, "Hey, it's dangerous." ”

He hurriedly pulled Nan Xiang's little hand back, and he was afraid for a while.

I don't know why, after calming down, Zheng He suddenly became angry.

He seemed to educate a child, and grabbed the back of Nanxiang's hand with a serious expression. Then with a "snap", the big hand slapped directly on the back of Nanxiang's hand.

The force was so great that the back of the white and tender hand that hit Nanxiang turned red all of a sudden.

"Whew, it hurts."

Nan Xiang blew her little hands sadly, very incomprehensible. "Brother is bad."

Zheng He didn't want to do this, but if she could do such a dangerous thing because of her greed, it would be terrible.

As soon as the fire burns, the flesh will be boiled for her.

So Zheng He educated her with a straight face, "Do you know why I hit you?" ”

Nanxiang shook her head. "Don't know?"

"Because it's dangerous for you to put your hand in the fire. If the fire hits the back of your hand, your hand is ruined, you know? ”

Nan Xiang tilted her head, not understanding.

So Zheng He grabbed her little hand and slowly approached the source of the fire, and then when the wind blew, the flame happened to burn to the back of Nan Xiang's hand at once.

"Ah~"

Nan Xiang was burned by the fire, and immediately whimpered and wanted to cry.

Zheng He took the opportunity to give her a long memory, "Now you know, right?" It hurts to be burned by the fire, and you can't put your hand on the fire anymore, do you understand? ”

Nan Xiang was in tears, but she still understood. "Got it......"

Zheng He saw that she knew that she could correct her mistakes, that is, he was relieved.

Ay... I don't know why he wants to save a fool, now it's okay, he not only has to teach and educate people during the day, but also has to cook at night to feed her, it's really self-inflicted......

Finally, the wild boar meat was finally roasted.

Zheng He tore a piece of Nan Xiang first, and he also instructed her, "Hot, blow first." ”

Nan Xiang did it like a baby.

But she didn't have much patience, and after two blows, she immediately fell into her mouth.

And so tragedy begins......

The hot lard directly scalded the flesh of her cheeks in her mouth.

"Woooooo

Zheng He was really afraid of her, "You!! ”

"You said you, why are you so anxious......"

Zheng He had no choice but to patiently blow the rest of the barbecue meat for her, so as to avoid Nanxiang being burned.

Under the moonlight.

The two of them ate warmly.

If you look closely, you can see Zheng Xiucai, who wears a mask all the year round, but at this time, he is looking at the little fool beside him with a smile in his eyes.

His usual dark eyes were always deep and cold.

But at this time, he looked at the silly girl beside him with a smile in his eyes, and his smile was real......

—————

Next.

As usual, Zheng He sent Nanxiang to the children's center and went to teach.

In the evening, he came back to pick up Nanxiang.

Zheng He was in a particularly good mood today.

Because he finally officially received the exam date for the township exam at the end of the month today.

He was undoubtedly excited, because he loved literature since he was a child and longed for his talent to be appreciated.

Therefore, he always yearns for the top prize, and he also wants to go to the capital to absorb more knowledge.

So every time he takes an exam, he is always extra serious.

When he picked up Nanxiang, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was a smile that he didn't usually have.

Nan Xiang saw that he was happy, and she also followed him stupidly.

Typical I laugh and know, but you laugh and don't.

"Brother, are you in a good mood today?"

Nan Xiang has learned a lot of common sense of life in the past few days, so people have become much smarter.

She also learned to read words.

Seeing that Zheng He was in such a good mood, she thought, "Brother at this time, he should be very good at talking, right?" ”

So Nan Xiang took Zheng He's big hand and led him straight to the stall of the roast duck shop......

Then he said sweetly to eat roast duck, "Brother? Buy a roast duck, right? ”

Zheng He is in a good mood right now, and he originally planned to buy Nan Xiang a snack to eat. But the roast duck was too expensive for him to afford.

So Zheng He took Nan Xiang to a snack shop where children often gather.

There are a variety of snacks in the store, and the prices are cheap, and you can buy the same with a few copper plates.

Nan Xiang thinks that there is no roast duck, and Xiangxiangzui is okay.

So she began to search the store in earnest.

But there were so many snacks in this store that she was dazzled and didn't know which one to choose.

"Brother, there are a lot of snacks, which one should people choose......"

Zheng He touched her head funny, "Brother help you choose." ”

Then he picked two simple ones for Nanxiang. A hawthorn sweet bar, a crisp twist.

"Take it."

Zheng He gave her the things and went to check out.

Nan Xiang took it happily, and then Mimi, who smiled with apricot eyes, was obviously very happy. "Thank you, brother."

Nan Xiang thinks that it would be nice if her brother could be so happy every day......

- because then she can buy snacks every day.
