Travels

"Teach me how to light a fire first." She paused, turned her head away from staring at the charred firewood in the stove, feeling extremely depressed, "I can't leave everything to you alone."

"will not."

Yu Qingge retorted quickly, as if she had seen the secret of her damaged self-esteem. After a moment of silence, she reached out and pulled out all the firewood, and then slowly put them back one by one, with a very soft voice: " The middle of the firewood is made into a hollow, and then the hay is stuffed in, if the pile is so dense, there will not be enough oxygen, and it will not be able to burn.”

Those white and beautiful hands were soon stained black, but the owner of the hands didn't seem to care at all, just staring at the stove.Xia Wanmu nodded, and studied carefully by the side silently. When the red fire light reflected on his face, he suddenly sighed: "You seem to know everything, you are really good."

Yu Qingge's thin lips moved, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just took the blowing torch on the side and pointed it at the stove twice.

The fire was burning hotter, and the grass clippings inside were crackling under the high temperature. Xia Wanmu stood up and took two steps back, and told her with a heavy heart: "I'll go get the apron first, you keep the things, don't snatch them." It's all done."

"Ah."

With a perfunctory sound, the speaker didn't even look up at her, and just picked up the ingredients on the stove by himself.

"I'm serious." She gritted her teeth and complained in a drawn-out tone, but the raised ending voice sounded like she was being coquettish, "Don't take it seriously."

Singer Yu Qing's movements stopped, and it took him a while to turn around slowly. His usually indifferent face was blank for a moment, with a special cuteness.Then the slightly pale corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a serene smile appeared, even the most dull person could see the joy from the heart.

"……understood."

She was shocked by this man's abnormal performance, and only later realized that her tone was too intimate. After thinking about it again, she always felt that she was possessed by some old ghost from the deep mountain just now, otherwise how could she say that kind of expression? It was a complaint that would only blurt out after being together for many years.

Now, look at the faint blush on Yu Qingge's face, her heartbeat is also a little fast, and the pounding sound came from her chest, and she almost couldn't hide it.

"You, you rest for a while, leave the dishes for me to wash, I will be back soon!"

Flee in embarrassment.I jumped over the pit once, is it going to fall into it again this time?

Xia Wanmu covered her face, leaving in a hurry.

When the dinner was ready, the cleaning staff had already finished their work, and they were lying crookedly on the dining chair, stretching their necks and waiting.Seeing one bowl after another of beautiful and delicate dishes with aromas on the table, Ju Zhengxin's eyes lit up, and he didn't bother to pick up his chopsticks, so he went directly to the side of the bowl and sniffed a few times.

"This looks really good." He looked at the plates one by one, rubbing his hands impatiently, "It also smells good, and it tastes delicious."

"I didn't expect that you are quite good at cooking. You can cook in soy sauce, fry and stir-fry, so why were you so humble just now?"

Yu Qingge was busy serving the meal, and he didn't take this meal of flattery seriously, without even a smile on his face, he just silently handed out the chopsticks one by one.After receiving it, a few people were quite calm, and they just waited until the two cooks came to the table before starting to eat. After two mouthfuls, everyone started to marvel.

"very delicious!"

The long-lost taste blew away in his mouth, Xia Wanmu clenched his chopsticks tightly, he had no choice but to boo with other people, and praised someone embarrassingly.

It seems that she and Yu Qingge got closer in the first place because of a meal, and thinking of this made her feel a little bit less interested.Just like the story of the cup bow snake shadow, the familiar dishes on the plate are connected with the muscles and bones of the tragic ending, which always reminds her of the pain of being deceived and concealed.

But the meal still needs to be eaten, and if you don’t move quickly, you may really have nothing to eat. She glanced at the few people on the table who were fighting hard, endured the discomfort in her heart, and ate slowly, and glanced at the person next to her from the corner of her eye. She was seated, but found that someone was absent-mindedly picking up the rice in the bowl, while secretly looking at her from time to time, the clean table in front of her was really different from other people.

Leng Buding met her gaze, Yu Qingge's eyes narrowed slightly, he turned his head away and pretended to eat a mouthful of rice calmly.

Where is this trouble coming from? ? ?With 1 question marks popping up in her head, Xia Wan paused, raised her voice and pointed at the plate of braised fish in front of her, pretending to be puzzled: "Is this fish a bit salty?"

The others were too busy chewing their mouths to reply to her, shaking their heads like tumblers.Yu Qingge was really fooled, his face suddenly became serious, he picked a small piece of meat from the back of the fish and savored it carefully for a while, then asked with some uncertainty: "Is it salty?"

"There's a little bit on the stomach, maybe the salt hasn't been spread evenly, try it." She opened her mouth to talk nonsense, without any burden in her heart, seeing the woman who didn't seem to believe that her cooking skills had regressed, tasted mouthful after mouthful, with a smile on her face. The teasing smile couldn't help but popped out.

Yu Qingge reacted quickly, stopped his chopsticks, and stared at her steadily with his long and narrow eyes, full of affection hidden in them.

Stimulated by such tender eyes, Xia Wanmu turned her head away, and continued to eat honestly, but it seemed like it was endless. As soon as she stopped on one side, there was another wave on the other side.

"Why do you put chili in everything except the greens?" Ju Zhengxin ate so much that sweat broke out on his forehead in the cold weather, and he hissed from time to time, "Although it's still delicious... Xiaoyu, where are you?" People? The taste is quite strong, even a big man like me can't stand the spiciness."

Lu Jingming next to him also echoed a few words, and Yu Qingge stopped his chopsticks with a calm tone.

"It's okay. It's just that someone in my family likes spicy food and I'm used to it. I'll make some more light dishes tomorrow."

"No wonder you don't move your chopsticks very much. You don't look like someone who can eat spicy food." Ju Zhengxin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Then you are very kind to your family. To cater to their tastes like this. To be honest, whoever marries you in the future will be blessed, with a successful career, one of the best cooking skills, and such a considerate person. Sigh, I just don’t know which brat to take advantage of.”

In the white porcelain bowl containing fried pork, a few slices of green peppers are fried until soft, just looking at it makes people appetite.Xia Wanmu stretched out his chopsticks and was about to pick them up, when he heard this, he silently withdrew his hand, bravely picked up the green vegetables on the side into a bowl, frowned and began to eat in small bites.

"Sister Xia, are you trying to lose weight? Why don't you eat meat? This roasted pork ribs with potatoes is delicious, but it's a bit spicy, why don't you try it." Sitting opposite her, Ji Mingzhao couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic when he saw this scene , looked over with a little admiration in his eyes, just like a little fan looking at an idol, "Maybe I won't have anything to eat tomorrow, I need to eat more to replenish my strength today. Try it, it's really good eat."

Xia Wanmu smiled awkwardly, and under the concerned eyes of everyone at the table, he took a bite of a rib.Ju Zhengxin raised his chin towards her, and with a look of "I can say nothing wrong", he asked confidently, "Is it very spicy?"

How can it be so exaggerated... She snorted from her nasal cavity, and wanted to deal with it directly, but the man refused to let go, and asked again: "Are you used to eating?"

She glanced at the silent person beside her, hesitated for a while, and did not answer his question directly.

"Usually eat less."

Ju Zhengxin nodded, took a big gulp from the water cup at hand, and sighed contentedly.

"I thought Xiaoyu made it according to your taste, but I didn't expect that you didn't like it either. However, the taste is really amazing. I would eat five handfuls of chili if I put it in."

The people at the table quickly chatted and laughed, and the topic quickly changed from the dishes to other places. Xia Wanmu looked at the big man who was talking non-stop, as if there were ants crawling on his back.

The dinner was not over until ten o'clock, and the two little girls were tired. Ju Zhengxin waved his hand and announced proudly: "You all go to rest, and don't do the finishing work." It's okay, I'll clean it up."

Maybe it's because he is the oldest in this group of people, he naturally always puts on a big brother's appearance, and his tone of command is often used in his words, and he behaves very strong.

"Let me do it. The food is all made by Qing Ge, I don't know anything, I don't do any work at all, I'm far behind you." Xia Wanmu put away the bowls and chopsticks before him, very embarrassed She smiled softly, "Besides, I'm quite good at washing dishes, and my efficiency must be higher than that of you who have never been in the kitchen." She winked at the man.

"Go and rest, or talk to the little girls, the signal here is so bad, they should be quite bored."

Ju Zhengxin frowned, disapproving of her words: "You don't even know how to cook, how can you wash dishes again? You're pretty good at it, who cares? I beat the bowl later, or didn't wash it clean, and I'll have dinner tomorrow There are no plates to use."

Xia Wanmu was stunned, and couldn't think of anything to refute.It is true that she has never been involved in the kitchen since she was a child, and she learned to wash dishes after living with someone in order to be more stubborn.But it seems inappropriate to tell the truth like this. It always seems like how close she and Yu Qingge used to be. With their knees, they would know that the fans of a certain song queen would definitely spray her bloody for this.

While thinking about it, she remembered the "family member" that Yu Qingge used as an excuse before, so she naturally used this pretense.

"I... When I was living at home, my family always asked me to wash the dishes. Isn't it normal?"

"Really?" Ju Zhengxin rubbed the back of his head and asked in a daze, "Didn't you make your debut before you turned eighteen? Are your parents so strict?"

Xia Wanmu's scalp was numb from his question, and he hurriedly walked away after a perfunctory sentence.The stubborn man watched her disappearing back, turned his head and sighed to Yu Qingge who was still sitting upright, not knowing what to think: "It feels like you girls are getting along well with your family, that's great."

Yu Qingge smiled slightly.

"I think so."
