Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 50 Self-help ([-])

Almost everyone on the registration list yesterday came, and a few new members were added.

The new members naturally included Liu Jijiu and Dr. Qian.

There were only the two elders in the room full of supervisors, and Liu Jijiu didn't feel embarrassed at all, and let everyone eat openly, don't be restrained.

Dr. Qian washed the bowls and chopsticks for the teacher, silently thinking, it should be the two of them who should not be restrained.

He is a little socially phobic, and he doesn't know how to get along with these lively children.

So he tightened his face even more.

Seeing him like this, Xue Ran thought he was in a bad mood.She shrank her neck, not daring to step forward.

While everyone was seated, He Shaoguang hung a wooden sign on the door saying that the business was closed.

It will not be open for business today, let the group of supervisors have a good time.

Those who like roasted meat went to the yard, and He Xing'er and Anar Khan helped them roast on the grill, watching to light the charcoal fire to prevent it from being burnt.

Xue Ran squeezed through the crowd and came to He Xinger's side with great effort.

He gasped slightly, and He Xing'er was very happy to see him coming, and handed him the first skewer of grilled pork belly: "Xiao Jiansheng, would you like to try it?"

Under the envious eyes of everyone, Xue Ran took it quite proudly, and opened his mouth to bite down.

The specially selected fat and lean meat is roasted and crispy, full of oily aroma.

He Xing'er handed him lettuce wrapped meat to eat, this way of eating would not feel greasy even for people who don't like fatty meat.

Barbecue is really the most primitive satisfaction. Besides, the weather is cold now, and everyone is crowded in the yard to make a fire to barbecue, but it doesn't feel cold at all.

While Bai Zikai was looking for food, Xue Ran quietly pulled He Xinger aside. As for why he did so quietly, he said he didn't know.

"Are you all right afterwards? Could someone come to make trouble again?" Xue Ran felt uncomfortable when he asked this question: "I'm just afraid that you and shopkeeper He will be hit, and I won't open the store in the future."

He Xing'er smiled so hard that her eyes crooked. Even if the lights in the yard were not lit at the moment, the dim light of the charcoal fire illuminated her eyes like stars: "Why do you think so, Xiao Jiansheng?"

Aren't you worried that you will be sad?Xue Ran thought to himself.

"It's my birthday in a few days, and I'll have a banquet at my house. Are you coming?" Xue Ran invited, and he held back these words for a few days, because he wanted to talk to her before.

"Me? But I don't know them." At first, He Xing'er was happy, but when she thought that they were all young ladies from aristocratic families, she flinched a little.

Among Xiao Jiansheng's friends, she is the only one who is an inconspicuous cook, she will embarrass Xiao Xue Jiansheng.

Xue Ran knew what she was thinking, and said hurriedly, but he was very calm on the surface: "Don't think about this, Shopkeeper He will go too!"

Shopkeeper He said that he has not received the invitation yet.

Since He Shaoguang would also be going, He Xing'er happily agreed and promised that he would give him a birthday present.

"When is your birthday? Next time I will send you off too."

"March, this year has passed."

"Then next year, next year I will send you off together."

He Xing'er jumped for joy when he heard the words, Xue Ran felt that he had lost his mind because of Bai Zikai's neglect of her before.

Yes, the stubborn Xue Jiansheng understood that because he hated Bai Zikai, he thought that none of his friends should play well with Bai Zikai.

He Xinger, as his best friend in the Imperial College, unexpectedly got close to Bai Zikai, that's why he was angry with He Xinger.

But it doesn't matter now, because Bai Zikai's relationship with him recently is not so good.

The two broke the ice, talking and laughing as before.

Bai Zikai pretended to be eating meat, but in fact he kept his eyes on this side.

Seeing Xue Ran's exaggerated smile, Bai Zikai felt his teeth were sore.

"It's as stupid as anything." Bai Zikai shook his head, deciding not to play too close to him, so as not to be infected.

He Shaoguang poured some sake, and the supervisors were naturally not allowed to drink, even if Dr. Qian was in class, so she and Liu Jijiu were the only ones in the room who could drink.

"Bai Jiansheng." He Shaoguang clinked his cup with him, thanking him: "Thank you and Xue Jiansheng. Hey, but, are you really so coincidental with what Xu Jiansheng ordered?"

Bai Zikai smiled back: "What do shopkeeper He think?"

He squatted Xu Hongzhi for seven days!For seven days, follow them, eavesdrop on what they order, try to be as consistent as possible.

It was also thanks to Xue Ran who knew He Xinger's cooking habits.

He Shaoguang felt that this person would definitely be an old fox in the future, and Xu Hongzhi was just too stupid and vicious, so he didn't even know he was being targeted.

Lu Mingyan was dragged by Liu Jijiu to sit at the same table, and for some reason his homework was checked.

Xue Rante brought a plate of grilled meat and gave it to the two teachers. He heard that this child, who was five years younger than him, was praised by Dr. Qian...

Being praised by Dr. Qian, Xue Ran couldn't believe his ears: Dr. Qian's mouth can still praise others?
Although his tone was still flat, Xue Ran could tell he was in a happy mood.

Liu Jijiu didn't think it was a serious matter. Seeing Xue Ran put down the meat, he wanted to leave, and he specifically called him: "Xue Jiansheng, you have to study hard! General Lu's children will catch up with you."

Xue Ran felt that Dr. Qian glanced at him, which was enough to freeze him.

In fact, he was thinking too much. What Dr. Qian thought was that Lu Mingyan had good qualifications and studied diligently, but he was still young, so he was not so fast to catch up with Xue Ran.

We still have to wait until he enters the Imperial College to take a look.

Really, I didn't expect Dr. Qian to be a protector.

This lively meal can be described as a joy for both guests and hosts.

Anar Khan likes children very much, and when Zhijun was tired from holding them, she picked up Lu Mingzhen and took her to eat.

Lu Mingzhen saw that this sister whose eyes and nose were different from those around her was very novel, so she snuggled into Anar Khan's arms obediently.

Seeing that she was full, Anar Khan stopped feeding her, smiled and taught her to read his name, and taught her to translate Lu Mingzhen into his native dialect.

Lu Mingyan was almost done eating, and missed his sister, so he walked over to find her.

Liu Jijiu followed his footsteps and saw Ana Khan with thick eyebrows and big eyes at a glance, especially her curly chestnut hair with big braids, which looked like
Liu Jijiu was agitated for a while, and he would not admit his mistake.

He didn't wait until the next duty that day, so he asked Dr. Qian to cover for him, so that someone would find him so as not to reveal the fact that he left early.

Dr. Qian silently agreed, obviously the teacher did this kind of thing not once or twice.

When Liu Jijiu came to Cong Mansion, the concierge naturally knew his master's good friend for many years, so he quickly opened the door for him.

Liu Jijiu didn't need others to lead the way, he walked into his study with ease, and saw his old friend sitting leisurely among a pile of books.

"Why are you here?" Cong Tianjie was reading with relish, impatient to see him.

Liu Jijiu casually picked up a book and flipped through it: "Hmph, I knew you were reading the tattered travel notes you wrote before."

There are a few scrolls carefully stored in the painting vat next to it, only that place is spotless, obviously very cherished.

Liu Jijiu stretched out his hand and pointed: "I saw a girl today, who is [-]% similar to the person in that painting. Old man, why don't you invite me to sit down and drink tea?"
