Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 121 No Relatives
"Then you go to play first, brother Alai still has guests here, so let's get some food first, and after eating, I'll come to play with you again, okay?" Alai coaxed Huzi well, turned around and took the lead into the innermost kitchen.

The so-called kitchen room is actually two west wing rooms, one is used as a warehouse for food storage, and the other is divided into two rooms for cooking inside and a dining room outside.

Zuo Mu took a look at the door, and found that the dining table, chairs and other items inside were neatly arranged and cleaned up.

Although it can't be said to be very luxurious, it is worthy of the utensils of ordinary wealthy people.

"En!" Huzi responded obediently, turned around and was about to leave when his little nose suddenly sniffed the air, turned around and rushed over to grab Xiaoshui's little bundle, "Sister Xiaoshui, Brother Alai, give me some Didn’t you bring me something else after the firecrackers?”

"Little Huzi, last night you said that it was enough to have firecrackers, why have you changed your mind now, then what do you want?" Xiao Shui reached out and flicked Huzi's small forehead, jokingly.

"For example, what kind of cake?" Hu Zi licked his lips, rubbed his nose vigorously, and went straight to grab the little burden, "Oh, my dear little sister Shui, take it out quickly, I can smell the sweetness of Zeng Cake."

"Oh, it turns out that a certain child has fireworks and wants to eat steamed cakes. You are so greedy." Xiao Shui deliberately raised the small burden high, teasing Huzi, "But , I’m sorry that I don’t have anything now, because I’ve eaten all of it by your little sister Xiaoshui.”

"Ah..." Huzi almost burst into tears when he heard that, "Sister Xiaoshui is bad, I will never like you again."

Hearing the movement, Alai poked his head out from the door, and said angrily, "Okay, Xiao Shui, stop teasing him, and quickly give the steamer cake to Huzi."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to see Zuo Mu, and quickly explained, "The benefactor may need to trouble you to wait a little longer, and I'll heat up the lunch packed by the way, so we can eat together later."

"It's okay, how about I help out together?"

Zuo Mu stroked his sleeves, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Alai, "No need, you just wait here."

"Sister, dear sister, can you give me something to eat?" Huzi was still begging Xiaoshui on the side.

"No! No!" Shui Xiao stuck out her tongue, turned around and ran away with her little bundle in her arms.

"Sister... Sister Xiaoshui..."

The tiger yelled, and followed behind like a little tail, and the two of them dodged and turned around in the yard.

"This girl is getting more and more outrageous..." A woman's sigh came from the east wing, "I'm so sorry to make you laugh, my girl is really getting more and more outrageous, I've grown so big, I'm stunned Sitting or not sitting, standing or not standing..."

"Where is it, are children playful? Isn't it all the same..."

"You two sons look fair and clean, and you are more obedient than me..."

The two mothers were busy packing things in the east wing, Alai was busy serving meals and hot dishes in the kitchen, and Xiaoshui and Huzi were playing and playing in the yard.

Looking at this peaceful scene, Zuo Mu always felt that something was missing, but what exactly was it?She couldn't remember for a while.

Also, the attitude of this woman is very strange, she clearly disagreed at the beginning, why is she so enthusiastic now?

"Zi Yan, don't you think it's a bit strange here?" Zuo Mu pulled Zi Yan beside him and whispered softly, "And what did you just say? Why did this woman change her attitude so much?"

"I... what can I say? You are so far away, can't you hear me?" Ziyan dodged her eyes and explained softly, "Besides, we are Alai's great benefactors, and he treats us well Shouldn't it be?"

"But, Alai Niang was obviously reluctant at the beginning..."

Zuo Mu wanted to analyze with Ziyan again, but unexpectedly the girl ran away, "It's Chinese New Year, don't think about it, I'll go to the kitchen to help Alai!"

"This girl..." Zuo Mu shook his head and sighed softly, "No, is there something strange?"

Zuo Mu was wondering when he saw that Huzi had already entered the storeroom with a large piece of cake, it turned out that it was Xiao Shui who was called by the woman to send him away.

It is said to be a warehouse, but in fact, there are some animal furs, dried bacon, dried vegetables and so on. There is also a bed in the corner. It seems that Alai usually lives here.

Huzi was not too polite, climbed onto a stool, lay down on the bedside, and gorged himself, rubbing his nose and cheeks all over with glutinous rice grains.

Seeing the little guy's cute appearance, Zuo Mu's heart softened, and he quickly persuaded softly, "Huzi, eat slowly, and be careful not to choke!"

Hu Zi raised his head, still had a big mouthful of Zhen Cake in his mouth, opened his big eyes, and looked at Zuo Mu curiously, as if he had just discovered her.

Zuo Mu stepped forward and took out a handkerchief, and helped him gently wipe his face, "Is this cake so delicious?"

"Yes!" Huzi nodded very positively, thought for a while, and asked inarticulately with his stuffed mouth, "But, who are you?"

Seeing the little guy's serious appearance, Zuo Mu straightened his clothes with a smile and replied, "I'm your guest here!"

"Guest?" Huzi scratched his head in confusion, "Then what is the guest?"

"Guests?" Zuo Mu was confused now, how could this little guy not even know the guests.

"Guests are people who come to your house as guests, such as distant relatives or good friends of your parents." After thinking about it, Zuo Mu patiently explained to the little guy.

"Oh, that's it!" I don't know if I understood it, or if I didn't want to pursue it, Huzi lowered his head and ate Zhen Cake again.

Just when Zuo Mu thought that he was addicted to the delicious food in front of him and would no longer care about himself, and got up to help Alai, he suddenly heard him whispering from behind, "Our family has never had guests, because my mother There is only one dear, no friends, and no relatives in our family."

"No relatives?" Zuo Mu was taken aback, then turned around, and the little guy was looking at him eagerly.

"Huzi, don't you understand the meaning of relatives? What about relatives? It means your mother's or your father's parents, brothers and sisters, and their relatives. All of them are called relatives."

Zuo Mu turned around and sat back on the stool, patiently explaining to the little guy,

"Even if your mother has no brothers or sisters, there will always be your father's brothers in this village. Those uncles and their children are all your relatives.
Maybe it's because you live close and move a lot, so you usually downplay the definition of relatives..."

Zuo Mu was still patiently explaining the definition of relatives to Hu Zi, but unexpectedly, Hu Zi's next sentence instantly refuted her, leaving her speechless...
