90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 65 Let’s have supper together

After offering sacrifices to their ancestors, eating, and negotiating the acquisition, Xiao Cheng, Bailu, Xiao Wei, and others returned to the new town, the city, and Nanshi under the collective farewell of the Xiao family in the mountains.

Li Hongying and her aunts helped Bai Lu pick up dozens of kilograms of snails and gave her many gifts of vegetables and fruits.

Grandpa and grandma also took out half of the medicinal wine in a small bottle and took it back to Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng.

The tribesmen who had mature fruit trees at home also picked many different kinds of fruits and gave them to Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu.

 A lot of eggs were given, including double yolk eggs.

They were all stuffed into the driver's seat of the car, and the bamboo baskets and sacks were piled so full that Xiao Wei almost had no place to sit.

What a poor baby.

Of course, other Xiao family members who have developed outside have also received many gifts of vegetables and fruits from their fellow villagers in the mountains.

A line of brick trucks, buses, and nearly two hundred Xiao family members returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors, leaving with joy and laughter.

 After returning to the town, night fell on the horizon.

The Xiao family got out of the car and went home one after another. Xiao Cheng left a brick truck and drove it to sweep private tombs tomorrow. The rest and Xiao Dazhuang drove back to the brick factory and returned it to the owner of the brick factory.

 The lights were on in the courtyard corridor, and Bai Lu and Xiao Wei were sorting out the things they had brought back from the countryside.

Xiao Wei followed Bai Lu's instructions, dragged a large basin to the well, pressed water, and poured all the snails into it.

Bai Lu said that the snails just picked up from the river have a lot of mud in their stomachs. If they are raised in clean water for a day or two, they will spit out the mud, and then they will be delicious when fried.

　　The eggs were all covered with white dew and put into an enamel basin, and placed on the bottom shelf of the cupboard, saving them for later eating.

Vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, lettuce and radishes should be placed separately in a ventilated place in the kitchen to avoid being pressed together and prone to rot.

Several large bundles of cabbage hearts tied with straw seedlings are placed in a cool and sheltered place, and they will be untied tomorrow morning. If they are untied early in the morning and blown by the wind overnight, the leaves will be shiny.

Jujubes, oranges and other fruits are all placed in the big fruit basket on the Eight Immortals table. Whoever likes to eat can take what they like.

 Finally got everything sorted.

Bai Lu dragged her tired steps to the kitchen, preparing to carry a bucket to press water, pour it into a large pot, and boil water for a bath.

Arrived at the door of the kitchen, he saw Xiao Wei carrying a small bucket of water, stepping on a small stool, filling the large pot with water, and firewood was already burning in the stove hole under the stove.

The red firelight made the kitchen particularly bright.

Furthermore, the water that Xiao Weidi brought was obviously the last half of the bucket. After filling it, he took the lid of the pot aside and covered it.

"awesome!"

Bai Lu smiled and gave a thumbs up to the little guy who stepped off the bench: "Careful little cotton-padded jacket."

Xiao Wei opened his mouth with a small face that was very similar to Xiao Cheng's indifferent expression.

"Okay, okay, I know, it's your elder brother's will again, your elder brother told you, right." Bai Lu still smiled and gave the little guy a pat on the head as a reward.

What he wanted to say was said, and Xiao Wei had nothing to say. He pursed his lips and then closed them again.

Bai Lu pushed his small shoulder lightly: "Okay, go to the house to get some fruit to eat. The aunts all say that the green dates are very sweet, crisp and delicious. I will call you when the water is hot."

 “The water tank is out of water.” Xiao Wei refused to eat the fruit and walked out without hesitation with the bucket.

The handle of the bucket was pulled the next second, and Bai Lu said, "I'll fill it up later."

Xiao Wei glanced at her feet: "I'll drink it."

 “I’ll fill it in.” Bai Lu didn’t let go.

 “I’ll pour it in.” Xiao Wei didn’t let go.

 The handle of the bucket likes to be lifted and pulled like a tug-of-war.

Just when the winner was about to be decided, a long and slender hand with distinct joints stepped in, used unrivaled strength to stop the bucket, and lifted it away.

Bai Lu and Xiao Wei were stunned for half a second, then both raised their heads.

Only the tall and majestic figure of the man is left at the door, his long and powerful legs, and the sound of steady footsteps.

　　A cool breeze spread lightly in the night.

Without saying a word, Xiao Wei went back to his room to do his homework. When he passed by the Eight Immortals Table, he picked up a big jujube.

　　　Bai Lu sat in front of the stove to light the fire. After burning for a while, I suddenly remembered something. I got up and went to the corner to open a sack. I brought back three beautiful sweet potatoes and threw them into the stove hole.

Xiao Cheng came back to fill the water tank with water. When he saw it, he just glanced at it without saying anything. After filling the water, he went out again.

 It didn’t take long to fill the water tank.

 A strong aroma of burning meat, accompanied by the girl’s excited little voice, floated out from the kitchen—

 “A Cheng, Xiaowei, come out for a late-night snack, there are delicious roasted sweet potatoes~”

Xiao Wei walked out of the room and saw Xiao Cheng going straight to the kitchen with a freshly peeled orange in his hand.

 He followed him confused.

On the small square wooden table in the kitchen, there is a small round dustpan, and on it are three roasted sweet potatoes with reddish-purple skin, slightly darker, slightly burnt, and fragrant.

Bai Lu sat on a stool by the table, smiling and waving to them: "Come and try it, these are the sweet potatoes grown at Uncle Fu's house. My mother-in-law said they are very sweet and delicious."

Xiao Cheng glanced at her, put the orange on the table, sat down, took a roasted sweet potato, and peeled it.

 Xiao Wei also took one and sat down to skin it.

Bai Lu also had a roasted sweet potato in her hand, but her eyes were staring at the peeled orange in front of her, her eyes twitching slightly.

Oranges and roasted sweet potatoes, what’s the perfect combination?

In order to avoid eating the devil's meal alone, Bai Lu very considerately broke the orange and divided it into three parts.

 Xiao Cheng, Xiao Wei, she, one share each.

 Sharing the poison together, sharing the difficulties.

"Is it tasty?"

Bai Lu blew on the hot roasted sweet potato in her hand and asked Xiao Cheng and Xiao Wei who were already eating.

Xiao Wei thought it was delicious, soft and sweet, better than roasted chestnuts with sugar. He had seen roasted sweet potatoes sold on the street and they looked similar to those baked in Bailu, but he had never eaten them.

 The taste of roasted sweet potatoes in your imagination...should not be as delicious or as sweet as the one in your hand.

 But the eldest brother didn’t comment, and he didn’t dare to say anything.

However, the next second, the man who was slowly eating roasted sweet potatoes opened his mouth to give a two-word evaluation.

"good."

Xiao Wei nodded immediately: "It's delicious, it's delicious! I've never eaten such delicious roasted sweet potatoes!"

Hearing that her craftsmanship was recognized, Bai Lu was very happy and satisfied: "From then on, we will eat roasted sweet potatoes every day."

  Xiao Cheng: “…”

  Xiao Wei: “…”

 Eat every day…

 It will be so sweet...

After having a late-night snack and taking a shower, Bai Lu lay on the bed to eat. Yes, that’s right, lying down to eat.

 My feet still hurt a little, and my stomach is a little full. I don’t want to leave, so I’ll just lie down and use my mind to digest food.

 One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps…

As I read and recited, I became more and more sleepy. I closed my eyelids and tried to open them again, and continued brainwashing and digestion.

 After disappearing, it finally disappeared from the dream.

　　Bai Lu fell asleep, maybe because she walked more distance today than every day before, and she was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep quickly.

 She was so familiar that the man didn’t even respond when he came back to the room.

The feet, which were so cooked that they were hanging out of the bed, were rubbed with rough palms soaked in medicinal wine until the ankles were slightly warm. Her closed eyes were not opened, and her breathing was still even.

 Sleep soundly and peacefully.
