Chapter 6: Born Out of the Cocoon (4)
Chapter 6: Breaking Out of the Cocoon (4)
It was night, the moonlight was cool, and the sky was full of stars.
In the bamboo house, Yue Fan sat at a square table, looking at the table full of sumptuous dishes in a daze, and did not speak for a long time.
On the side, Fu Shuai and Yan Yueshi glanced at each other, and then looked at Xiaoice, who was bowing her head and silent, and couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly. This girl usually chirps and makes trouble when it comes to eating, especially after cooking in person, she always has to show off the dishes she makes before she stops, but Xiao Nizi not only sits on the ground today, but also looks ashamed to see people.
On the other side, Quan Qing felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and he wondered very much, isn't it just a dinner, can he use such a big reaction one by one?
It is no wonder that Quan Qing has lived with Wen Zongqing since he was a child, has a cold temperament, does not understand the world, how to understand the subtleties of this.
"Brother Li, if you don't move your chopsticks again, the dishes on the table will be cold. ”
Quan Qing reminded softly, and Yue Fan and the others came back to their senses.
Yan Yueshi said with a smile: "Yes, Brother Yue Fan, if you don't eat it, the dishes will be cold, today's table dishes are carefully prepared by Xiaoice, and it took a whole afternoon, even I just started on the side." ”
"Okay, I'll eat it, I'll eat it......"
Yue Fan put a piece of bamboo shoot in his mouth, and a long-lost taste came to his heart, mixed with sourness and happiness, blending into his whole body and penetrating into his soul. For many years, Yue Fan's inner desire has never stopped. What he wants is not Qionglou Yuyu, let alone fine clothes and food, just a calm and simple life. However, such a life seems to have become a luxury for him.
Seeing that Yue Fan was silent for a long time, Xiaoice'er looked up at the other party and asked with some apprehension, "What......? Isn't it delicious?"
Xiaoice'er didn't know why her mood was like this, maybe it was because it was the first time she was cooking for someone other than Fu Shuai and his wife, so she seemed to be very attentive...... Until now, Xiaoice didn't know what she should do, what attitude she should use to treat the person in front of her, this father who disappeared in his life for nearly ten years, and then suddenly walked into his life.
"No, no, no...... It's delicious, it's delicious!
Yue Fan explained in a slightly flustered manner, and his tongue seemed very clumsy, but everyone present could understand his excitement at the moment, which was a wordless touch, a kind of joy from the heart.
Picking up the chopsticks, Yue Fan put a lot of vegetables in his mouth and chewed them, his eyes flashing with tears.
The sour tears eroded his heart, Yue Fan couldn't describe his true feelings in words, every trace of his sorrow and pain, I don't know how many days and nights of thoughts and hopes he pinned, he couldn't confide, only silence.
Looking at the faint flash in Yue Fan's eyes, Fu Shuai and the others were all trembling, what they saw was not tears, but the stubbornness and persistence that burst out of the tears, as well as a touch of belief in forgetting life and death!
"Delicious...... Then you can eat more......"
Xiaoice'er looked at Yue Fan in a daze, not only did she feel very happy, but she felt a sour feeling for no reason...... Immediately, countless thoughts passed through Xiaoice's mind.
Since she became sensible, Xiaoice'er has asked Fu Shuai and his wife more than once why other children have parents, but she has no parents...... But every time she got the answer, she was very disappointed. Over time, the little girl did not mention this matter, because she felt that she was living a good and happy life now, and she did not need her parents.
In fact, what child does not crave the love of their parents and the company of their relatives? It's just that deep in Xiaoice's heart, there seems to be an invisible barrier that rejects those who want to disrupt their lives.
"Ahem......"
Fu Shuai coughed dryly twice, and motioned to everyone: "Quanqing, Yueshi...... Come on, let's all try Xiaoice'er's craftsmanship and see how it goes. ”
Everyone raised their dishes and chopsticks and began to eat.
......
After tasting the dishes in front of him, Quan Qing nodded with a smile and said: "Not bad, the dishes made by the little junior sister are really good, it's a pity that the master is busy refining medicine and can't come over, if we can eat the dishes made by the little junior sister every day in the future, then we will be blessed." ”
Hearing someone praise Xiaoice, Yan Yueshi smiled and said, "Quanqing, don't praise her so much, lest this little girl raise her tail to the sky again." ”
Fu Shuai rolled his eyes when he heard this, leaned his elbow against his daughter-in-law, and then whispered to Yue Fan: "Brother Yue Fan, this little girl is tired today, don't be stunned, don't help her get more food!"
"Oh...... Yes, good. ”
Yue Fan's face was solemn, and he nodded busily, and then sandwiched the dishes into Xiaoice'er's bowl with chopsticks and chopsticks, and kept muttering: "Eat more, eat more......"
Poor Xiaoice couldn't put down the bowl, looking at Yan Yueshi with innocent eyes, not knowing what to say.
Seeing such a scene, everyone immediately cried and laughed.
Yan Yueshi said patiently: "Brother Yue Fan, don't be so serious when you eat, otherwise your appetite will be bad, and you will have to smile often in the future......"
"Yes. ”
Yue Fan knew that he was too nervous, so he nodded again, and smiled with a tight face.
Looking at Yue Fan's smile that was more ugly than crying, Quan Qing was handsome, Fu Shuai and Yan Yueshi also felt troublesome, Xiaoice and Yue Fan will get along for a long time in the future, how good is it to always go on like this.
Xiaoice, on the other hand, was first startled, and then gently said thank you, but was moved by Yue Fan's sincerity.
During those days in the Ling Mansion, Xiaoice almost never said a word to Yue Fan, and in her impression, Yue Fan was a serious and unsmiling person, at least she had never seen the other party smile.
Xiaoice is not a brainless person, although she is still very young, she has always had a dry name in her heart. Whoever is good to her and who cares about her, she remembers them all in her heart. Yue Fan's change today is enough to make up for the little lack and grievance in her heart.
Who is in a position to accuse such a person who has changed for his own children?
Since experiencing that life and death, Xiaoice is now much more sensible. When she woke up, she suddenly had a father, especially when she heard that Yue Fan did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for herself, the impact on her was not small. Therefore, when Wen Zongqing was treating Yue Fan, he proposed to ask Xiaoice to worship herself as a teacher, but the little girl agreed without hesitation. She can't blame her parents, because there is always too much helplessness in the world, and compared to those displaced orphans, she is already very happy.
......
With tears in her eyes, Xiaoice swallowed the dishes in the bowl one bite at a time.
At this moment, she didn't care about the taste of the dishes, she had let go of her years of obsession and slowly opened her heart. Although she can't really admit Yue Fan's father now, she is willing to treat the other party as a very good relative to her.
"You eat a little more, too. ”
Xiaoice'er put the dish into Yue Fan's bowl with a somewhat stiff wrist, and Yue Fan naturally did not refuse.
Everyone laughed at each other, and the air was filled with a thick sense of warmth and joy.
