Habit? She's not used to it, and she doesn't have any servants at home. What does he mean by that?
"Here, this millet porridge has been cooked for a long time and is very thick and fragrant." Aunt Lin filled a bowl of millet porridge and handed it over.
Wen Qing quickly took it with both hands, said to Wen Qing: "Thank you, Aunt Lin." Then she put it in front of herself.
"You're welcome, be careful when drinking," Aunt Lin said kindly.
"good."
Wenqing has never gotten along with older aunts or elderly people, but her etiquette has been developed since she was a child. She must respect the old and love the young, and she must respect the elders and not be rude.
"Aunt Lin, you can cook it and eat it too," Wen Qing looked at the table full of breakfast and said to this warm and kind aunt.
"No, I've already eaten. You and the young master eat slowly while I clean up the things in the kitchen." Aunt Lin refused with a smile.
She was the aunt who looked after the old lady Lin Xu. She had watched the young master grow up since childhood. She used to be responsible for taking care of his mother and father's daily life. Later, they passed away due to an accident, so she came to the old lady's side to take care of the young master together.
But the young master doesn't like others to disturb him by nature, and his temper has become cold, so he doesn't like others to be around him even more.
"You will like this." Xu Du put a shrimp king into her empty bowl and motioned for her to try it.
Looking at the things in the bowl tenderly, she whispered: "Thank you."
"Are you so polite to everyone?" Xu Du was a little dissatisfied with how polite he was to himself.
"Huh?" looked at him warmly and questioningly.
"Thank you." Xu Du took a sip of porridge and prompted.
Wenqing knew what he meant, "This is thanks, not politeness."
"Say thank you for everything, just to be polite and keep people away from you." The little milk cat is really capable of irritating people. This serious look makes it look like the question he asked is stupid.
"..." Is that so? But she has always been like this with others, and no one else would say this.
She and her parents would do the same thing, but she never said it was polite.
"But this is both a thank you and a courtesy, how can it turn someone away thousands of miles away?" Wenqing doesn't understand. In her family education and cognition, this kind of behavior is the most basic.
Xu Du looked at her seriously and argued with herself, knowing that she had overturned the etiquette she knew.
The stubbornness of this little cat is just like when it was a child. It understands the truth and cannot explain it without a good reason.
As he grew up, this stubbornness increased with age. He found it funny, but he didn't want her to be so polite and alienate the people close to her.
It's no wonder that she only had two friends in school. Because she knew her temperament, she felt so polite. It was with gratitude and gratitude, not politeness.
People who are not familiar with her temperament feel that she is always repelling people thousands of miles away and it is difficult to get close to her.
Even though she is always gentle and gentle, she still gives people a sense of distance that makes them unable to get in or blend in.
"It's better to learn this word than to go too far."
"Being friendly with others and just right is the most comfortable way to get along with each other," Xu Du said.
Wenqing still didn't understand, but she didn't refute his words. When Xu Du saw this, she probably wouldn't change her temper for a while.
"In short, in the future, use less polite words with people you are close to. You can try to use complimentary words instead. This will help you get closer to people." Xu Du said.
"Yeah." Wen Qing nodded with some understanding.
Forget it, the kitten is still young, just teach her more in the future.
"Okay, let's have breakfast." Xu Du motioned her to stop worrying and eat breakfast quickly. If you don't eat it, your breakfast will be cold.
The two of them ate breakfast in silence. From the perspective of Aunt Lin, who was peeking in the kitchen, silence was better than sound. Not only would the young master pick things for Miss Wenqing, he would also eat the things Wenqing gave her. There was no such thing as mysophobia at all.
It seems that the young master is serious about this gentle lady, but... Miss Wenqing, with her innocent and unsentimental appearance, should not be interested in the young master yet.
It seems that the young master will have to work harder in the future to open up the love interest of Miss Wenqing.
After the two had breakfast, Xu Du went to the study to work, while Wen Qing stayed and packed things with Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin is a very talkative and gentle person. She is not very good at chatting with elders. She has always been gentle and gentle, nodding patiently and being a listener.
But Aunt Lin is a good conversation leader. Under her guidance, Wen Qing also relaxed a little and told her some interesting things about school and the mountains and rivers in her hometown.
However, Aunt Lin talked about Xu Du's hobbies and habits to his hard work and achievements at work. From his words, it could be heard that he admired and loved Xu Du.
Lunch was a home-cooked dish made by Aunt Lin using the ingredients Wenqing and Xu Du bought this morning, and Wenqing helped with the preparation.
Braised pork ribs, spicy and sour potato shreds, stir-fried broccoli with sliced meat, tomato and egg soup, three dishes and one soup, it is a very homely dish.
Wenqing went upstairs and asked Xu Du to come down for dinner, and she discovered that the president originally worked in the home office on weekends, but he just changed the location to work.
"You're all hungry, go wash your hands and come over to eat," Aunt Lin shouted as she watched the two people walking down the stairs and carrying the last dish.
"Okay." He responded with a warm smile.
Xu Du could smell the aroma of the food downstairs from the moment he opened the door. He used to find the smell of oily smoke unacceptable, so he never turned on the fire in the kitchen.
But after she arrived, the kitchen began to smell like smoke, and the untouched utensils that had been bought back began to be used, and the house began to smell like home.
The two of them washed their hands and came out. Xu Du looked at the food on the table, looked at Yingying's smile and asked tenderly: "Did you cook that dish?"
Wen Qing blushed: "Aunt Lin did it all."
Aunt Lin didn't let her touch the fire, and was worried that the oil would get to her. She just asked her to stand aside and pick vegetables, pass the oil and salt, and take dishes, treating her like a child.
Let her have the feeling of being stopped from entering the kitchen by her father and mother at home.
"These are all done by Miss Wenqing." Aunt Lin smiled and asked them to sit down quickly. Then she pointed at the broccoli and said, "This is what Miss Wenqing helped clean." "There are also potatoes, which were peeled by Miss Wenqing."
Xu Du laughed when he heard it, and Wen Qing blushed even more when he heard it.
"Well, it's very impressive." Xu Du praised with a smile.
She looked up at him tenderly, a little annoyed. He didn't seem to be praising her at all. She ignored him, turned around and pulled out the chair next to her, and said to Aunt Lin: "Aunt Lin, sit down and follow us.
Let’s eat together.”
"I'm not going to eat. I'm going back to my old house. You and the young master can eat slowly. After you're done, put the utensils in the kitchen. I'll come over and clean them up in the evening." Aunt Lin wiped her hands with the apron she was wearing and said once.
"You haven't eaten yet, can't you go back after eating?" I specially prepared a table of food for them, but they had to rush back without even taking a bite. Wen Qing felt a little sorry.
"It's okay, it's okay. I can have food when I get back. Besides, Lao Lin is waiting for me outside." Aunt Lin laughed.
"Okay, then you should pay attention to safety when you go back and remember to eat." Wenqing knew that Aunt Lin had decided to go, so it was hard to persuade her.
"Okay, okay, you guys eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." Aunt Lin waved her hand, then took off her apron, went to the kitchen to pack things and returned to the old house.
"Eat it. Don't feel pressured or embarrassed. These are their jobs. The Xu family will not treat them badly. You have to get used to their service." Xu Du picked up a piece of broccoli and put it in her bowl.
"I...I'm working here too."
She knew that Aunt Lin and the others were servants belonging to his family, and he could enjoy their service with peace of mind, but she was a temporary worker like them, and could not enjoy their service with peace of mind.
Xu Du laughed angrily, why is this girl still so clueless? She has seen maids in that job who could eat with the boss and live on the same floor.
"You are different from them." Xu Du said.
"Huh?" Wen Qing looked up at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
"You belong exclusively to me" Xu Du looked at her confused eyes and said word by word.
Wenqing was stunned, as if being sucked in by his eyes, Xu Du: "Maid," the little cat still doesn't understand, so don't be scared.
"Okay, just remember that your work is only for me, and their work is for you and me, do you understand?"
"Yeah." Wen Qing blinked and nodded.
"Good boy." Xu Du smiled fondly, then put a piece of broccoli into his mouth, "It's delicious."
Wenqing blushed, knowing that he looked at her and said "delicious" with a smile, but he was canceling it. She cleaned this dish.
She ate in silence, chewing slowly. The broccoli was delicious, the spicy and sour potato shreds were delicious, and the braised pork ribs were even better. Aunt Lin's cooking skills were really good.
After the two of them finished eating, Wenqing fortunately took the tableware to the kitchen, cleaned it quickly, and put it in the cabinet.
She ran a pot of scented tea and went out to the living room. "This is scented tea, Mr. Xu, do you want to drink it?" she asked tenderly Xu Du, who was sitting on the sofa and watching TV.
"Yeah." Xu Du responded. The TV was playing financial news, and he watched it with gusto.
Wenqing poured him a glass and put it in front of him. He picked it up naturally, took a sip, and then turned to look at her "sweet"
"I put two candies in it," Wen Qing replied, she likes to drink like this.
"It tastes delicious." Xu Du said with a smile. He liked it if it was sweet, and he also liked what she liked.
She smiled tenderly, and then said: "I have to go back to school in the afternoon to go through the school leaving procedures." She moved out, but she has not completed the relevant school leaving procedures and needs to go back to make up for it.
"I'll take you back." Xu Du said naturally.
"No, I can just go back by myself." If he showed up at school with her, it would definitely cause some gossip and some turbulence. She just wanted to leave school in a low-key manner and work in a low-key manner.
