Chapter 9: It's Delicious!

Xiaodouzi threw down cruel words in front of the tree roots, which does not mean that he does not mind a little bit in his heart.

After all, he is still an eight-year-old child, and he has not yet completed his cultivation, and he can calmly ignore the sowing of discord and demagogy by others.

When he got home at noon, Little Bean went straight into the kitchen.

Chu Yuan was standing by the stove chopping vegetables and cooking porridge, and walked over to add some firewood after a while.

Xiaodouzi just followed him silently, where Chu Yuan went, where he followed.

It was difficult for Chu Yuan not to discover his existence.

"What's wrong?"

Xiaodouzi's sad face was full of thoughts, how could a human spirit like Chu Yuan, who had lived for twenty-nine years, not be able to understand it.

It's okay if the eldest brother doesn't ask, as soon as he asks, Xiaodouzi feels that he has a basket of grievances surging up to his two big black eyes, converging into a lot of tears.

Xiaodouzi endured it, choked up and asked softly, "Does the eldest brother marry a daughter-in-law and don't want me anymore?" ”

His cautious posture showed the restlessness in his heart, this was just a young man without a father, and he regarded his eldest brother as a father.

Chu Yuan paused, in the twenty-nine years he was in that world, he had never had the experience of comforting people, let alone taking a child to soothe the young heart.

Relying on his own strengths, he replied silently.

"It's not."

There is no intimate comfort, or intimate care and comfort, as long as it is the eldest brother who responds to him, because it is Chu Yuan, even a simple um, can relieve his sorrow.

The child's troubles came and went quickly, and the little bean changed from a sad face to a happy smile in the blink of an eye.

The brothers didn't know at all, and the scene just now was unfortunately overheard by Xu Wan, who came back.

When he heard Xiaodouzi choked up and asked Chu Yuan, the eldest brother didn't want him if he married his daughter-in-law...... Xu Wan didn't know what the bittersweet taste was in her heart.

At that moment, it came to her mind that those mothers-in-law in the 21st century scolded their sons, married daughters-in-law and forgot their mothers... It's wonderful.

Xu Wan's mother-in-law, Bai, is frail and sickly, and Xiaodouzi should be brought by Chu Yuan. It's hard to imagine a teenager who hasn't grown up yet, and who has not yet grown up, who is embarrassed to bring up another young brother.

She suddenly felt very sympathetic to them, and felt that the little black bean was a pitiful child.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ———"

The coughing sound that suddenly appeared startled the Chu Yuan brothers to turn around at the same time.

A smiling face of Xu Wan appeared in the door frame, and her smiling eyes were cast on Xiaodouzi, making him messy in the smoke.

Because the whisper was overheard, Xiaodouzi blushed and stammered at her, "How do you eavesdrop on people!" ”

Xu Wan said a little apologetically, "I just came back, I didn't want to eavesdrop on purpose." Don't worry, I won't tell anyone! ”

Without waiting for Xiaodouzi to continue speaking, Xu Wan beckoned to him with a smile.

"Little Bean, come on, sister-in-law has brought you something delicious."

Xu Wan remembered that Xiaodouzi was already eight years old, but he was thin. I used to see a lot of white and chubby children, and he looked weird and distressing like this.

Since she has fresh rations, it is enough to give Xiaodouzi to replenish her body, and leave some to relieve her hunger.

Chu Yuan, who was standing in one place as a background wall, looked at Xu Wan strangely, and couldn't figure out what she said was delicious? Where did she get it from?

On the other hand, the word "delicious" is very common in that world, and it is not easy to fill the stomach with this poor country food, and what is delicious.

The guess in Chu Yuan's heart was more convinced.

Xiaodouzi is still wary of Xu Wan's new sister-in-law, but she can't stand Xu Wan's sweet smile.

Chu Yuan pushed an assist behind his shoulder, causing the little bean who couldn't pull his face to step forward.

He looked impatient and asked her, "What did you call me to do?" ”

Xu Wan's hand behind his back suddenly held a big steamed bun and stretched it out in front of him, which caused Xiaodouzi and Chu Yuan to look at him in surprise.

Every year after the Chu family collects new grain, Chu Yuan will carry a few bags of old grain into the county and sell it for silver, and on that day every year, Chu Yuan will always buy a steamed bun for Xiaodouzi when he comes back.

Because the Bai family couldn't eat things that were not restrained, Chu Yuan bought no more and no less than one every time.

Xiaodouzi opened her mouth wide, "Where did you get the steamed buns?" ”

It's so big, it's twice as big as the big brother bought, and it's almost as big as his head.

Xu Wan deliberately sold Guanzi, how to regret what he promised others.

She blinked her eyelashes and said with a smile: "Don't steal or rob, you can get it by your ability, eat it with confidence, give, take it!" ”

Xiaodouzi was stuffed with a stocky steamed bun in his palm, and in front of him was a refreshing and atmospheric scene of Xu Wan, which really gave him a shocking refresh in his heart.

“……”

Seeing that Xu Wan was still looking at him with a smile, he was obviously waiting for something.

Xiaodouzi shyly glanced at her, "Thanks... Thank you. ”

Xu Wan turned around with satisfaction, just as he was about to take a step.

Behind him, there was the immature voice of Little Bean.

"Big brother, we're one and a half..."

Xu Wan suddenly felt that he had mixed tastes, so filial piety to a child, and suddenly a little envious of his mother, what's going on?

Another lightning bolt struck her brain, and Xu Wan suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have visited Mother Chu yet...... I don't know if Chu's mother will have a bad impression of her.

Stopped at the critical moment, Xu Wan smiled so much that his face was about to freeze, but he still had to keep it.

She walked up to the Chu Yuan brothers and immediately broke the big steamed bun she left in two.

glanced at it nostalgically and handed it out ruthlessly.

Xu Wan said: "This is for my mother-in-law." ”

Chu Yuan looked much taller than her, looking at her reluctant to tremble with curled eyelashes, the picture in front of her seemed to return to a scene many years ago...

On the way to see the doctor, the patient, a three-year-old girl who was babbling, tugged at Chu Yuan's clothes before leaving, and motioned for her to see what she was holding in her hand.

A strawberry-flavored lollipop.

Then she smiled at him in a milky voice, "Give it to uncle." ”

At this moment, Xu Wan and the girl seemed to overlap......

……

Xu Wan didn't know that one of her actions made Chu Yuan recall the past......

After dividing the steamed buns, she went back to the East House. I found a stool and sat down, nibbling on the remaining half of the steamed bun in my hand.

Although the steamed buns are cold and harder, they are more dry and fragrant than those I have eaten before.

Xu Wan couldn't help but sigh: "It's so fragrant!" ”

I didn't know that steamed buns were so delicious......

Suddenly, a thought swirled in her heart, shouting Xu Wan, in order to be a rice bucket, you have to achieve food freedom as soon as possible.

Xu Wan was sad for a while, "Others are either rich and noble, or salted fish lie down to win, why is her crossing so unrefined, and she has to worry about eating......"

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but scold.

"God, you're so unkind."

As soon as the words fell, a loud thunder flashed over ——— roof by the window......

Xu Wan: "......"

It seems that you can't just curse the sky.
