At Xie Zhiyao's home, looking at the pot of braised chicken in front of him, Xu Hongdou, who was holding the rice and preparing to use his chopsticks, besides the word "fragrant", thought of grandma whom he had not seen today.
"She went for a walk, I'll wait to pick her up."
Xie Zhiyao glanced at Xie Zhiyuan who was still blocking the door, and while talking to Xu Hongdou, he took a bite of chicken into his mouth and looked at the bag Xu Hongdou brought.
Curious about what was inside, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and opened it to see that it was a flower cake.
After thinking about it for a while, he said to Xu Hongdou: "Aunt Agui has dragged her into becoming a young man?"
Xu Hongdou nodded and explained: "She was probably afraid that we would be bored in the courtyard, so she took me, Damai, and Zhang Wentao to play."
"Is it fun?" Xie Zhiyao took out a flower cake and took a bite. It tasted pretty good.
Xu Hongdou thought for a while and smiled: "It's quite fun."
"In a while, I'll ask Aunt Aquarius to take you to the warehouse to play." Xie Zhiyuan said with his signature smile.
"Warehouse? Where?" Xu Hongdou looked at Xie Zhiyao curiously and asked.
"It's the place where she works, the e-commerce warehouse. Have you ever done packaging?"
When he heard that the other party was tricking him into doing work, Xu Hongdou glanced at him and thought to himself that this guy was really unserious, but he said, "If you don't want to play, don't call me for work."
"Okay, I'm joking with you, but you take it seriously." Xie Zhiyao chuckled. If the other party was willing to help, he would welcome it with both hands, but he would not force it.
Just as he was about to move his chopsticks, he suddenly felt that he was just joking and missed something. After thinking for a while, he said to Xu Hongdou: "By the way, Xu Hongdou, let me ask you something."
"Well, you say."
Xu Hongdou still understands the shortest principle of eating others.
Xie Zhiyao organized his language and asked tentatively: "Are you familiar with Zhang Wentao in the courtyard? How do you feel about him?"
"I'm not familiar with it, what's wrong?" Xu Hongdou was a little confused.
Xie Zhiyao said: "I'm just asking. You also know that he is a French chef and has good cooking skills, so I want to ask him to help me today and teach Nana and my sister Xiaochun how to make simple French dishes."
Food, enrich the dishes in the restaurant."
"Well, what then?"
Xu Hongdou nodded while eating and asked Xie Zhiyao to continue.
"But he refused today, but why did he make flower cakes with you? Could it be that he likes you?"
"Ah? He likes me?" Xu Hongdou's eyes widened. If there was no rice in her mouth, she would almost spit out.
Why do you ask this? She looked at Xie Zhiyao in surprise: "Mr.
"Let's hear it, I'm actually quite curious about him." After Xie Zhiyao listened, he wanted to hear Xu Hongdou's views on Zhang Wentao.
He raised his head and said to Xie Zhiyuan at the door: "Go and get the cherry wine made by Grandma, and let your sister Hongdou taste it."
"Kirsch wine?" Xu Hongdou was a little curious. She actually liked to have a drink, but she had a bad stomach in the past.
But after what happened to her friend, she paid great attention to her health. After conditioning, her stomach and intestines are now not as sensitive to alcohol as before.
Xie Zhiyuan looked at his elder brother, unmoved. He hadn't finished his own affairs yet, so these two were good enough to eat.
I still want to drink it now.
"Go and get the wine from the kitchen cabinet." Xie Zhiyao saw that Xie Zhiyuan was not moving and said again.
Xie Zhiyuan protested silently.
"Go ahead, why are you standing there in a daze?"
Although the voice was still very polite, the suppression of blood had its effect.
Mainly because he was feeling hungry when he watched the two of them eating.
After thinking for a while, Xie Zhiyuan decided that he would rather not fight with his brother and his stomach. Anyway, he would end up losing. It was better to eat before talking about anything.
So, he reluctantly got up and walked out the door.
Xu Hongdou looked at this little brother who was still in high school, smiled, and said to Xie Zhiyao: "Actually, I am not familiar with Zhang Wentao. We have only been in contact for two days. He is this person..."
"It's strange. It's really hard to describe him. It's hard to explain clearly at once. You see, he's a very good cook, we all know this. As a person, he's actually a very good person. He cares about other people's feelings. This
Since Hu Youyu came back yesterday, it can be seen only if he is willing to accompany us to eat and chat for a while. But..."
Speaking of but, Xu Hongdou got stuck.
She is very careful when facing herself, but her attitude is very casual, and she is also very patient when teaching herself how to make flower cakes... She doesn't know whether she should say this out loud.
While talking, Xie Zhiyuan had already returned to the living room with the wine and his bowl of rice.
Xie Zhiyao gave Xu Hongdou some wine, put it in her hand, and asked:
"But what?"
Xu Hongdou picked up the wine and took a sip. It was very sweet: "It's nothing, it's just hard to say, it's not familiar yet, hehe."
"Yeah." Xie Zhiyao agreed with this view. How can one fully understand someone after only two or three days of contact? Just like him, although he admired Xu Hongdou's appearance and personality at first sight.
But if you want to express it, you need to take it step by step.
"This wine has a high alcohol content. Drink it slowly and drink less."
"Well, okay." Xu Hongdou enjoyed Xie Zhiyao's behavior very much. The wine he drank showed his character. Although the other party poured her wine, such instructions made her feel the other party's thoughtfulness.
It can also make her understand that Xie Zhiyao asked his brother to bring the wine just to let her have a taste...
…
"You must keep it a secret, you promised me." Xie Zhiyuan pouted and looked at Xu Hongdou who was about to return to the small courtyard, full of distrust.
"Don't worry, it will be kept strictly confidential." Xu Hongdou didn't hesitate. She actually sympathized with Xie Zhiyuan's feelings.
A young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, if something like this happened, his self-esteem would be severely affected.
"Then I believe you."
Xie Zhiyuan said.
"Okay, you go take a bath and rest quickly. I'll take your sister Hongdou back and pick up grandma on the way." After saying that, Xie Zhiyao patted his brother's shoulder.
The two of them soon arrived at the small courtyard under the moonlight.
Everyone in the small courtyard has returned to their rooms to rest, and the courtyard is very quiet.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Xu Hongdou took the initiative and said to Xie Zhiyao:
"Then I'll go back and rest first."
"Well, it just so happens that I'm going to pick up Grandma." Xie Zhiyao waved his hand and said: "By the way, if you like the cherry wine, I'll let Grandma brew more this year and I'll bring you some when the time comes.
go back."
"Okay, thank you in advance."
"Then I'll leave first."
Xie Zhiyao knew it was over, so he turned around and said goodbye.
After watching the other party walk out of the courtyard, Xu Hongdou was about to go upstairs and return to the house, but found that the kitchen light was always on, flickering.
"Maybe someone forgot to turn it off."
She muttered, walked in, turned off the light, and then stepped into the house.
