Chapter 18

In Du Xuan's hand was still holding the fragrant sweet potato rice, inside the rice lay a few pieces of orange-yellow soft sweet potato.

In this world, everyone prefers to eat rice, but Du Xuan thinks that sweet potatoes are very fragrant. After washing and cutting into pieces and steaming with rice, a pot of rice is even sweeter.

It would be even more delicious if it was roasted, so when Du Xuan just finished cooking, she stuffed a few sweet potatoes into the stove and roasted them with embers, planning to take them to eat on the way to the county today.

Then he came in with sweet potato rice and when he looked up, he saw Qi Yan who was sitting at the table, waiting to eat of course.

Du Xuan frowned, her eyes filled with question marks.

Du Xuan: "???"

Qi Yan watched her nose, nose, and heart, as if he couldn't see her expression at all. Even seeing her standing there for a long time without moving, Qi Yan moved his chair and stood up, and walked up to her in two steps. Sweet potato rice in her hand.

Xiaobao knew she was coming, so he hurriedly smoothed things over, "Mom, come and sit down!"

He was obviously blind, but Du Xuan really felt that Qi Xiaobao's eyes seemed to be shining brightly.

Du Xuan walked over with a dark face and sat down at the table.

He put white rice in front of Xiaobao, while he himself put more sweet potatoes and less white rice.

Then she looked at Qi Yan silently, Du Xuan didn't expect this man to be so shy, maybe because his brain is not bright enough, his face has become thicker?He reached out and filled the meal.

Du Xuan stared at him, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will be poisoned, why do you eat the food I cook?

On Qi Yan's handsome and three-dimensional face, there was no embarrassment in the expression, maybe his brain was not bright and he didn't have such complicated emotions as 'embarrassment', he just pursed his thin lips, and his words were resolute and resonant.

"I'm going to eat."

Du Xuan: "..." That's right, they want to eat it, what can you do?It is also impossible to kill him.I can't fight, and it's impossible to fight, what can I do?Make do with it.

Du Xuan bit her lip, didn't want to talk to him, and didn't talk to him anymore.

She just wanted to pick up some food and go to the kitchen to eat by herself, but unexpectedly, a large spoonful of white rice was put into her bowl.

Du Xuan stared blankly at the big lump of white rice that came out of the bowl. The sweet potatoes and rice were all sticking out of the bowl. Not to mention that she didn't do any farm work now, even if she was doing farm work, she didn't eat like this.She's all Spartan.

The man said slowly, "Eat rice."

Du Xuan reacted a little belatedly. She really thought sweet potatoes were delicious, so she planned to eat more sweet potatoes for this meal, but in the eyes of others, she just left the delicious white rice to them. , I eat sweet potatoes bitterly.

Du Xuan: "..." She really isn't that noble.

But forget it.What is there to explain to him?

Du Xuan clamped the bamboo rat's meaty hind legs into the little treasure bowl, "Eat more."

During the Chinese New Year, if the family kills a chicken, it would be beautiful to eat a chicken leg, and it would be nice for her little treasure to eat a bamboo mouse leg.

It seemed to be the first time that the three of them sat at the same table to eat.

Du Xuan made the bamboo rat very delicious. It grows on bamboo, so there is no fishy smell in the meat.

First stew in water to make it softer, then cut into pieces, fry the fatter part of the belly to get some fat, then put the wild ginger she found on the mountain to saute, and then put down the other parts of the meat together Stir-fry and add some small peppers and shallots.

It's so delicious!

Huaining County is a place where spicy food is eaten. Every household grows a few chili trees, and there is no shortage of chili peppers.

After Du Xuan made it, she tasted it and was quite satisfied.

And Qi Yan had just tasted it, as if he had made a decision, turned his head to look at Du Xuan, and added to the previous resolute and resolute words.

"In the future, I will eat my prey."

Du Xuan frowned and stared at him, "Let's eat yours." Can't keep your mouth shut!
Xiaobao's little mouth was red from the heat, and while gasping for breath, he said, "It's delicious. It's delicious. Mom, what kind of meat is this? It's delicious!"

Du Xuan suddenly had bad thoughts, her eyes flickered, her voice was lowered, and she pretended to be mysterious, "Can't you taste it? This is rat meat, a big rat."

I thought I would see fear on the child's face.

But Qi Xiaobao's clear eyes just blinked lightly, showing a bit of shock in his eyes, but the shock was not because it was a mouse, but because...

"Mice... are they so delicious?" Qi Xiaobao said while licking his oily lips, "It's so delicious!"

Du Xuan: "..."

She kept silent and seemed a little depressed, but Qi Xiaobao couldn't see, so she didn't see it.

But the emotions on her face fell into Qi Yan's eyes.

He didn't make a sound, and the expression on his face didn't seem to change.

But the color of those eyes, which were usually hard and indifferent, seems to have softened a little?
After eating, Qi Xiaobao leaned on a stick to accompany Du Xuan to wash the dishes, "Mother, is Sister Taotao coming to play today?"

"Maybe not, she is still ill." Du Xuan replied.

Qi Xiaobao's expression was a little disappointed, Du Xuan couldn't help pinching the tip of his nose, "Don't worry, I've already made an agreement with Sister Tao and her mother, and when she recovers from illness, she will often come to play with you."

Qi Xiaobao was so surprised by these words that he trembled when he spoke, "Do you, often, often come?"

"Well, often." Du Xuan said, "Are you satisfied now?"

"I'm so happy." Qi Xiaobao was so happy that it was impossible for him to run around the yard to express his excitement, so he leaned on a small stick and walked around in small circles, like a cat chasing its own tail, which made Du Xuan's heart soften .

"I'm going to the county today, maybe I won't be able to go back for lunch." Du Xuan told Xiaobao, "But I cook a lot in the morning, so you ask your father to heat it up for you at noon."

"Okay." Qi Xiaobao was very obedient and sensible, and didn't ask Du Xuan what she wanted to do in the county. After thinking about it, she only asked, "Mother, come back early."

"Well, it won't be long before I go to the county to buy and sell things." Du Xuan looked at the curiosity and hope that flashed in the child's eyes, and said, "There is nothing interesting in the county now. When there is a temple fair or something, I will take you to play."

Then she saw that the 'kitten', which had finally calmed down, started to circle in circles again in joy.

"I can buy you something you want today. Before I go out, you have to think about what you want to buy and tell me." Du Xuan said.

Probably because she has never been a real mother, so Du Xuan often talks to Xiaobao, not like an elder.This non-oppressive attitude will make the child feel very comfortable and less trembling.

It wasn't until Du Xuan packed up and was about to go out that Qi Xiaobao came over, reached out and gently grabbed the corner of her clothes, obviously thinking about what she wanted to buy.

"What do you want me to buy for you?" Du Xuan asked with a smile, and Qi Xiaobao's words made her smile stop for a moment.
