Qiao Erlu was startled, and when he realized what he was doing, his eyes turned red: He obviously wanted to help his eldest sister, why was her eldest sister so cruel to him?
But just as he was about to say it, he saw that Qiao Xiaofu's eyes were also red. But Qiao Xiaofu didn't want anyone to see him, so he quickly picked up the rice bowl and ran to the kitchen: "I'm full, I won't eat."
Qiao Chu was stunned: before she could say a word, two of the three little ones cried!
After coughing, Qiao Chu said to the remaining two: "The old gentleman next door was born in Juren. Today I heard that you three want to be enlightened in reading, so he took the initiative to tell me that he was willing to teach you three."
Qiao Erlu was dumbfounded: "Juren's origin?"
Qiao Xiaofu, who was in the kitchen next door, also heard it and hurriedly came out and asked, "Isn't that expensive?"
"It's not expensive. He said that as long as I help him treat his wife, I will teach you for free without any charge." Qiao Chu said seriously.
Qiao Xiaofu looked at Qiao Chu in disbelief for a while. After confirming that Qiao Chu was serious and not joking, he went to see Chen Qingshan: Chen Qingshan never told jokes.
Chen Qingshan nodded: "Mr. Dongfang said, let me accompany you to class in the future."
"Really?" Qiao Xiaofu even shouted, "That's great!"
Qiao Chu said with a smile: "I didn't realize that our Xiaofu is still very motivated! If he were a man, I'm afraid he would be the number one scholar in the future!"
"Auntie, you're talking nonsense! I don't want to take the No. 1 exam!" Qiao Xiaofu snorted seriously, "I just want to be more literate and good at arithmetic, and do some business in the future to support my brothers and sisters."
Qiao Chu might as well think that she would think this way, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't there me now? Why do you still have such thoughts?"
Qiao Xiaofu looked at Qiao Chu and did not dare to speak.
Only Qiao Erlu was still young and didn't know what not to say, so he said what Qiao Xiaofu had told him in private: "Sister said, aunt and uncle will have children of their own in the future, and we can't be aunt's
If you are a burden, you must work hard to be self-reliant.”
Qiao Chu was stunned, and then she felt as if something was blocked in her throat, and she couldn't eat or swallow.
The little girl is only eight years old. Just because her father was arrested and her mother ran away, she suddenly became the supporter of her younger siblings. Not only did she cook good food at a young age, but she also kept the house in order. Now she actually wants to
I want to learn to read and count, so I can do business to support my younger brothers and sisters...
"You are so young, what are you thinking about? As long as I am here, I can't do anything to you." Chen Qingshan put a chopstick of dried incense in Qiao Xiaofu's bowl, and put a chopstick of vegetables in the bowls of Qiao Erlu and Qiao Sanshou, and finally added
A chopstick was placed in Qiao Chu's bowl, "Eat. Don't think about it."
This man knew that he didn't want to consummate his marriage or become a real couple with him, but he still thought about his three children, even himself...
Qiao Chu had mixed feelings for a moment, and looked at Chen Qingshan with a somewhat apologetic look.
Chen Qingshan glared at Qiao Chu, and Qiao Chu was instantly stunned: What do you mean? Why are you glaring at me?
Chen Qingshan didn't say anything, just finished a bowl of rice, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and went to the front yard: after the villagers helped clean up yesterday, they cleared out some junk that the original landlord had left behind.
Chen Qingshan planned to chop up the furniture with an ax and use it as firewood.
After all, firewood in the county town also costs money.
Looking at the cabinets, chairs, tables and stools, there was not much firewood after all the chopping and gathering. Chen Qingshan looked at the pile of firewood and thought to himself: No, I will have to ask Liuliang to drag a cart and go to chop a load of firewood outside the city.
return.
Qiao Chu wanted to sleep after eating: She had exhausted all her spiritual power today. She wanted to practice and recover her spiritual power as soon as possible. She wanted to wash and nourish her little body a few more times, so as to move from the first level of the spirit-guiding realm to the second level as soon as possible.
A layer of moist spiritual realm.
But as soon as he walked to the door of the room, he heard Qiao Xiaofu ask: "Auntie, since Mrs. Dongfang next door can no longer walk, can he still cook? How about we deliver food to him in the future?"
Qiao Chu paused and glanced at Qiao Xiaofu in surprise: "Okay, but you need to prepare meals for two more people. Don't you feel tired?"
"I'm not tired! I just need to cook one more dish and one more tube of rice! I'm happy to cook for my husband!" Qiao Xiaofu went to cook happily: she wanted to cook it for the Dongfang couple next door right away.
The meal is delivered.
Qiao Chu let her go: if you have a good relationship with your husband, there is nothing wrong.
Mr. Dongfang really didn't cook: Madam hadn't woken up since Qiao Chu left. He was a little uneasy. He thought about what Qiao Chu said for a while. Madam hadn't had a good sleep for a long time, so she should give her more time.
She slept for a while, and then suddenly she was afraid that something was wrong with her. She didn't fall asleep, but fainted!
With all your thinking here and there, how can you still think of eating?
He didn't come back to his senses until Qiao Xiaofu prepared the meal, struggled to carry the basket and knocked on their door.
Opening the door, a thin, round-faced girl was looking up at her, with two hair buns on top of her head and her pink hairband swaying, looking very happy.
"Mr. Dongfang, I am Qiao Xiaofu from next door. I will be your future student. I thought it was inconvenient for you to cook now, so I made it for you and sent it over. You can see if it suits your taste." Qiao Xiaofu said in one breath.
When he was done, he laboriously passed the basket forward.
Mr. Dongfang was taken aback. Seeing that she was struggling to hand it over, he hurriedly took it. He suspected that he had heard wrongly: "You said you did this?"
"Yes! I did it." Qiao Xiaofu smiled happily.
"Your aunt doesn't cook?"
"My aunt's cooking easily burns down the house. No one in our family dares to ask her to cook. Besides, my cooking is much more delicious than my aunt's cooking. If you don't believe me, try it." Qiao Xiaofu said, confidently signaling
Mr. Dongfang, try it.
Mr. Dongfang suddenly felt mixed emotions in his heart. He nodded and led Qiao Xiaofu into the study.
He first took out a plate of snacks bought next door and placed it on the table. He motioned to Qiao Xiaofu to eat first, and he opened the lid of the basket.
The dish in front of us is stir-fried shredded pork with dried fragrant spices. There are also leeks and dried chilies in it. The colors are colorful. The leeks are green, the dried chili peppers are red, the dried fragrant seeds are brown, and the shredded pork is white... The color combination is very beautiful, and you can see the taste.
That's good.
Two large bowls of rice were placed on the second floor. After taking them out, I found that there were chopsticks inside.
Under the children's expectant eyes, Mr. Dongfang took a bite of the rice. It was soft and chewy, fragrant and the heat was just right!
He tasted another stir-fried shredded pork with fragrant dried leeks, and then blushed slightly: Even an eight-year-old girl tastes much better than what he cooks!
Since his old wife became paralyzed, Mr. Dongfang has taken over the task of cooking. He really has no talent in this area. He only cares about the food being cooked and edible. How can he care about the combination and taste?
It's been a long time since I've eaten such home-cooked dishes. Thinking of the meals cooked by his wife in the past, Mr. Dongfang couldn't help but his eyes turned red as he started to eat.
