When he walked into the kitchen and saw that the leftover rice in the pot had bottomed out, Lin Zhaosheng was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked.
"Hanamaki, did you open fire this afternoon?"
"Yes, Uncle Lin."
Li Jie said as he walked towards the kitchen.
"I was a little hungry after I woke up from my nap, so I made something to eat."
"You did it?"
Lin Zhaosheng was a little surprised. In his impression, these two children did not know how to cook.
"Um."
"Can you still cook?"
Lin Zhaosheng looked at Li Jie curiously, as if it was the first time he met him.
"What's so difficult about cooking?"
Li Jie rolled his eyes and deliberately made an expression like it was no big deal.
“Hanamaki is delicious when cooked.”
At this time, Xiao Chaoxi came over after hearing the sound and echoed it.
"oh?"
Lin Zhaosheng raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a hint of secret joy.
It’s good to know how to cook.
If he is not at home in the future, the two children will not be hungry. Before, he was worried about how to provide lunch for the two children if he went to work.
It's better now. My son can cook.
"Hanamaki, come here."
Thinking of this, Lin Zhaosheng smiled and waved to Li Jie.
"Uncle Lin?"
Li Jie took a step forward with a 'confused' look on his face.
"Uncle Lin wants to discuss something with you."
Lin Zhaosheng chuckled and patted Li Jie on the shoulder.
"From now on, if I can't come back at noon, I'll leave the lunch at home to you, how about that?"
Although 'Hanamaki' was nominally his adopted son and was still a child, Lin Zhaosheng still chose to use negotiation.
After all, they had only known each other for a short time and had no relationship foundation. If his daughter hadn't asked him to adopt Hanamaki, how would he have raised an additional child?
"become."
Li Jie smiled, stretched out his hand and made an 'OK' gesture.
Lin Zhaosheng couldn't help but feel happy when he saw his cheap son acting like a little adult.
This guy is quite interesting.
"Well, if I'm not here in the future, the cooking job will be left to you."
After saying this, Lin Zhaosheng waved his hand.
"You two go play, I'll cook first and I'll be ready in a while."
"oh."
Xiao Zhaoxi nodded silently. In fact, she had something to say just now, but she was too embarrassed to say it.
She would rather eat the rice cooked by Hanamaki.
Because the "Hanamaki" is delicious, but the food cooked by my father is indeed a bit unpalatable, far worse than the canteen in the courtyard.
This is not to blame Lin Zhaosheng. In the past, he was a single man. One person had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry. He usually either ate out or had a random meal.
In addition, he has to leave time to solve mathematical problems, so how can he have time to think about cooking?
His current level of cooking skills is only at entry level, and he is considered good if he can cook the food well.
The flash of disappointment in Xiao Chaoxi's eyes was noticed by Li Jie, but he didn't say much. He was still a child now, so the responsibility of cooking would be left to Lin Zhaosheng for the time being.
It doesn't matter if your cooking skills are a little bit bad, you will improve sooner or later.
Immediately afterwards, Li Jie returned to the living room and lay down on the sofa, then picked up the remote control and turned on the TV again.
Around six o'clock in the afternoon, it was the prime time for cartoons to be broadcast. As soon as the TV was turned on, the voice of the cartoon OP rang.
"Quick... quick... quick, rush... rush... rush... the four-wheel drive warriors are in action..."
What is shown on TV is the childhood memories of countless people born in the 1990s - Four Wheel Drive Brothers.
Hearing this voice, Xiao Zhaoxi hurriedly ran to the living room. She also liked this cartoon.
In the kitchen, Lin Zhaosheng turned back and glanced at An Xin in the living room. He saw his daughter and his cheap son sitting on the sofa watching TV together, and they were very engrossed in watching it.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.
Adopting one more child is not a bad thing.
Xiao Zhaoxi is a bit lonely now, and she doesn't have much communication with him. It's better to have someone of the same age and an acquaintance from the orphanage to accompany her than to be alone.
"well."
Suddenly, Lin Zhaosheng sighed.
Seeing Xiao Chao Xi, he couldn't help but think of his daughter.
Qiu Yue, Xiao Zhaoxi’s mother.
He and Qiu Yue were lovers in college. Once, they had dreamed about the future together. In Qiu Yue's plan, it was best for them to have two children in the future, one boy and one girl.
In fact, Qiu Yue would rather have a boy than a girl.
It’s just that Planned Parenthood doesn’t allow this.
Even if you want to have a baby, you can only have a girl first and then a boy.
When he thought of Qiu Yue, Lin Zhaosheng suddenly felt a sore nose. Even though Qiu Yue had passed away for many years, he still could not let go of her.
The indulgence in recent years is nothing more than Lin Zhaosheng's way of paralyzing himself.
"well."
After thinking for a while, Lin Zhaosheng sighed again.
What's the use of thinking so much?
There is no resurrection after death.
People have to look forward. His most important task now is to crystallize the love between him and Qiu Yue, raise him up, and let his daughter grow up happily.
This is his highest pursuit now.
Mathematics, which he once loved most, now has to take a back seat.
How can mathematics be as important as having a daughter?
winter!
winter!
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
Lin Zhaosheng put down the spatula, turned off the stove, and asked as he walked towards the door.
"Master, it's me."
Pei Zhi is here again.
"Pei Zhi, please wait a moment."
Lin Zhaosheng turned his head and looked at the clock on the wall, thinking in his mind.
It's already past six o'clock. Why is Pei Zhi here?
etc!
Suddenly, several pictures appeared in Lin Zhaosheng's mind.
Is this guy really interested in Xixi?
During the Mathematical Olympiad training camp, Lin Zhaosheng vaguely noticed something. At first, he didn't take it seriously and just regarded it as a normal friendship between classmates.
But the more times he did it, he gradually realized that something was wrong.
Needless to say, Xixi acted like a young adult no matter how she behaved or did things. Her logic was rigorous and unlike a child in his early ten years.
The same goes for little Pei Zhi.
Both children are geniuses and both are precocious.
After that, Lin Zhaosheng became more vigilant.
No matter how precocious the children are, how old are these two children?
Puppy love is not good.
Of course, if in high school, there are still signs between the two of them, Lin Zhaosheng will probably not care about it.
Because he likes Pei Zhi very much.
Pei Zhi is very similar to him. He loves mathematics and is very smart. If he is well-trained, he will definitely become a top mathematician in the future.
Pei Zhi is here?
Hearing Lin Zhaosheng's greeting, Xiao Chaoxi's attention instantly shifted from the cartoon to the gate.
She doesn't like Pei Zhi very much!
In addition to Pei Zhi's intelligence, there is another important reason.
She vaguely remembered that 'that she' seemed to have told Pei Zhi about 'travelling'.
Pei Zhi knows the secret!
If she had a choice, she would prefer Pei Zhi to stay far away, and it would be best to never come to her house.
