As a cook, the happiest thing is to see diners devouring the dishes he cooked, so Qiao Xiaofu put his chin in his hands and watched with a smile.
After eating a bowl of rice and half a bowl of vegetables, Mr. Dongfang put down the bowl and chopsticks, and his attitude towards Qiao Xiaofu became more serious: "When did you learn to cook?"
"After my mother left." Qiao Xiaofu's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he smiled again, "I learned things very quickly. I quickly learned how to make fires, cut vegetables, and cook. Now our family's meals are all
I did it."
It turned out to be a child without a mother...
"Can you tell me about your family's situation?"
Qiao Xiaofu grinned, as if the stars were crushed in his eyes: "Of course, my father was caught as a prostitute, and my mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran away, and we three sisters had to follow our aunt..."
Qiao Xiaofu had a sharp tongue and explained things clearly very quickly.
In order to be afraid that Mr. Dongfang would have opinions about Qiao Chu, he also carefully explained the reason why his aunt didn't cook: "My aunt is very stupid. After cooking twice, the kitchen caught fire twice, and after washing the dishes three times, she broke them."
I ate four bowls! So I never dare to let my aunt do the housework in our house!"
"Then what does your aunt do?" Mr. Dongfang became curious about Qiao Chu: A country girl can't do housework?! This is strange enough, but Qiao Chu's hair is still very short, and she even asks gods to possess her.
People heal...
"My aunt is amazing! She was struck by lightning before..." Qiao Xiaofu told the story of Qiao Chu again, which made Mr. Dongfang feel ups and downs.
It turns out that Qiao Chu’s short hair grew out after being scorched by lightning!
It turns out that Qiao Chu’s so-called fairy possession only came about after he was struck by lightning!
It turns out that Qiao Chu, a country girl, was very strong in the past and could go up to the mountains to hunt and go down to the rivers to fish...
Thinking that such a woman can support three nieces and nephews, even if she fails to cure her wife's illness, she doesn't care about it.
If I can teach these three children how to read and write, I am doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
"Xiao Fu'er, do you want to study? Or is your aunt forcing you to study and read?" Mr. Dongfang became more and more curious about the little Doudin in front of him and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I want to read and read, I also want to learn arithmetic and keep accounts!" Qiao Xiaofu licked his fingers seriously, "In the future I will do some business to support my younger brothers and sisters. After all, my aunt is married, so I will always
If we want to have children of our own, we three sisters cannot always rely on my aunt."
"You actually want to do business?" Mr. Dongfang was stunned again.
He is not one of those pedantic people who thinks that women can only embroider in the boudoir before getting married and have children in the future, but he did not expect that an eight-year-old baby's dream is to do business!
"My aunt said that there is a shop in front of this courtyard. If we rent it out, we three sisters will not be afraid of starving to death. But I think that if my brother wants to study in the future, it will cost a lot of money. I am afraid that the rent will be
It's not enough, I just want to learn how to calculate accounts in the future, and then go into business to make money..." Qiao Xiaofu, with her small face and round cheeks, expressed concerns that were inconsistent with her age, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned. She was obviously serious.
I'm thinking about these things, and I've been thinking about them for more than a day or two...
The more Mr. Dongfang listened, the more distressed he became. He couldn't help but interrupt Qiao Xiaofu's great idea for the future: "Okay, Xiaofu'er, I will accept you as my student!"
"Thank you Mr. Dongfang, I will bring you meals every day from now on!" Qiao Xiaofu jumped up with joy: she was actually afraid that this old gentleman was reluctant to accept his three sisters because Qiao Chu treated his wife.
Now it seems that he sincerely wants to be his husband and is not forced to do so.
Qiao Xiaofu took the basket and left, leaving the rest of the meal to Mr. Dongfang: his wife hadn't woken up yet and hadn't eaten yet!
Mr. Dongfang was filled with emotion and went to see the lady sleeping next door. He saw that the lady lying on the bed had opened her eyes and was looking at him with bright eyes.
"Are you awake? But what's wrong with you?" Mr. Dongfang was startled and hurriedly walked over. He reached out to grab the pillow and helped her sit on the head of the bed.
But Mrs. Dongfang pressed his hand: "Don't do this, I want to take a bath. Can you go and boil the water for me?"
"Of course! Didn't you just take a bath yesterday? Why do you want to take a bath again today? How about taking a bath tonight?" Mr. Dongfang was a little surprised, and agreed while discussing.
"After Miss Chu Chu treated me today, I sweated a lot. Now I smell very smelly. I have to take a bath and change clothes to feel comfortable." Mrs. Dongfang explained, sitting up without much effort.
"You...do you have strength in your arm?" Mr. Dongfang naturally knew about his wife's condition and looked at her arm in surprise.
Mrs. Dongfang laughed: "Go and boil the water! I'll tell you later."
Mr. Dongfang happily went to boil water. After a while, he came in and told his wife: "The water is boiled. I will carry you over."
"No, I'll do it myself." Mrs. Dongfang said, and she moved one of her legs to the edge of the bed and put them down.
"Your legs hurt as soon as you hit the ground! Have you forgotten?" Mr. Dongfang was startled and quickly stopped him!
"After I had Miss Chu Chu treat me today, I feel much better and the pain is gone. I want to give it a try. Please hold me up." Mrs. Dongfang said, taking the initiative to extend her hand to her husband-in-law.
Mr. Dongfang hurriedly tried his best to help the person.
I was originally afraid that my wife would fall and be in pain, but unexpectedly, she stood up without much help.
The two of them held their breath and concentrated. Mrs. Dongfang carefully felt the feeling coming from her legs. The aches and pains like ants gnawing away were gone!
She tentatively took a step forward...
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"real?"
Mrs. Dongfang took another tentative step, two steps, three steps...
"It really doesn't hurt!" Mrs. Dongfang's face was obviously excited, and she walked a few more steps. She even shook off her husband's support and tried to walk a few more steps. "It really doesn't hurt!"
"Is this Qiao Chu really so powerful? Is he really possessed by a god?" Mr. Dongfang actually doesn't believe this. Where do the gods and ghosts in this world come from? They are all deceiving people.
"Then I don't know. I only know that when she was massaging me, my whole body was warm, and those joints felt very comfortable! I sweat a lot, but when the sweat comes out, it is cold.
It’s like...the cold air inside has been forced out..."
When Mrs. Dongfang said this, she became excited: "Old man, will my legs and feet be healed?"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, go take a bath first and look back later." Mr. Dongfang was sensible after all, and hurriedly comforted his old wife and helped her walk towards the bathtub.
