Chapter 158
Yun Xi came out of the kitchen carrying the last plate of food, placing it on the stone table and inviting everyone to eat.
Qingning was also busy laying out chopsticks and counted, there were eleven people in the family eating together today.
There was simply not enough room to sit on a stone table, so I had to ask Xiaoyu and Mouse to move out a large wooden table from home.
I could barely sit open.
There are still a few who are not here today.
If they all come back, I'm afraid it won't be enough.
The adults were on the stone table, and the short children were on the wooden table.
Yunxi asked Qingning to get some bowls and plates, divide all the dishes into two, and place them on two tables respectively.
After everything was tidied up, he asked everyone to wash their hands quickly and get ready for dinner.
Several children liked Yunxi very much. As soon as they heard Yunxi's greeting, they rushed to wash their hands.
This time Shen Qingshu also came out to eat with the support of Xiaoyu.
In the past few days, thanks to Guanshi Liu's injections, decoctions and various tonics, his complexion has improved a lot.
Every day when he saw the bustle of eating outside, he was very envious and insisted on going out to eat together.
Zhou Xiaomeng felt that more exercise would be good for the body, so they helped Xiaoyu help him out and sat with her in front of the stone table.
Yun Xi looked at Zhou Xiaomeng, who had been staring at the braised pork for a long time, and took the initiative to change the position of the braised pork with a vegetable in front of her.
"Eat more. You have been eating light these days. Today's dishes are all meaty. Eat more."
As he said that, he even took the initiative to put a chicken leg into Zhou Xiaomeng's bowl.
Because there was Gu Tingzhi in the middle, he had to go around Gu Tingzhi. Before it could be delivered to Zhou Xiaomeng's bowl, he was snatched away by Gu Tingzhi.
Gu Tingzhi had a smile on his face, "Yunxi is interested, but you are tired of cooking. It's up to me to pick up the food for the master."
With that said, he put the chicken legs into Zhou Xiaomeng's bowl.
In addition to children, adults can all feel the smell of gunpowder between Gu Tingzhi and Yun Xi.
Zhou Xiaomeng was also quite helpless, alas, I couldn't let her have a peaceful meal.
But she always pretends that nothing is wrong, just picks up the chicken legs and eats them.
"Master, eat more braised pork."
Gu Tingzhi was not busy eating, but focused most of his attention on Zhou Xiaomeng. As soon as the meat in her bowl lost some, he filled it up for her again.
"Don't just eat meat, eat some vegetables to avoid being greasy."
Yun Xi also kept paying attention. Seeing that Gu Tingzhi kept putting meat on Zhou Xiaomeng's side, and Zhou Xiaomeng ate everyone who came, he couldn't help but frown and gave her some vegetables.
Before it reached Zhou Xiaomeng's bowl, it was intercepted by Gu Tingzhi.
"I'm coming."
He was still smiling, but it still made people feel extremely embarrassed.
The smile on Yun Xi's lips froze, and she shrugged helplessly.
"Master, you can eat too, don't worry about me. I have hands and feet, so I can do it myself."
Zhou Xiaomeng buried her head in her meal, but she still couldn't avoid being the center of the fire. She had no choice but to intervene.
"I'm not tired. Only if the owner of the house eats well and maintains good health will I feel at ease."
Gu Tingzhi smiled, took another chopstick of green vegetables and gave it to Zhou Xiaomeng, thought for a moment, and said again.
"Yunxi, you are still busy with accounting during the day. I am stupid and can't help you. From now on, leave the cooking at home to me."
Yun Xi's face was startled, and the hand holding the rice bowl paused, as if he was about to speak, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Gu Tingzhi again.
"You are hired by the head of the family to do work. If the family affairs are also entrusted to you, those who don't know better would think that our family is underpaying the workers."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Zhou Xiaomeng wanted to speak, but was worried that she would offend both parties if she spoke too much.
well.
man.
Why can't we live in harmony?
"Well, um, little boy, do you have enough food? If not, there is more here."
She really didn't know how to deal with it and really wanted to eat it with the children.
What she wants to do most now is to bury her head in the sand like an ostrich.
Woo woo woo.
It's really hard to be a woman.
"Sister Xiaomeng, we have enough."
"Well, oh, that's enough. Then eat well and eat more. You are still too thin. Sister Xiaomeng doesn't like thin people."
She had nothing to say to ease the relationship, but she saw that Shen Qingshu next to her seemed to lower his head and look at herself after listening, and then tried hard to reach a dish that was a little further away.
She quickly stood up and picked it up for him and put it into the bowl.
"What else do you want to eat? I'll pick it up for you."
"No, no need, I can do it myself."
Shen Qingshu's ears were red, and when he spoke, he didn't know whether he was swallowing saliva or swallowing unsalted food.
"You're welcome. You're not well yet and you're still a patient. I'm still waiting for you to get better quickly so you can help me."
Zhou Xiaomeng smiled. When he smiled, his originally big eyes would curve into two crescents. Shen Qingshu couldn't help but be stunned.
But Zhou Xiaomeng, who was filled with the smell of gunpowder between Dafu Lang and Yun Xi, was completely unaware of it.
It wasn't until he heard the crisp sound of the doctor and Yun Xi putting down their bowls and chopsticks that they came back to their senses.
I wiped my forehead secretly, helpless.
"By the way, Mr. Shen, tell me what you want to eat in the future, and Yunxi, tell me what you like to eat, lest I don't know your appetite and the dishes I cook are not to your liking."
Gu Tingzhi shouted loudly on purpose. This was what Gu Weizhi told him before leaving.
Originally, he was going to Xiaohe Village to visit his second brother, but Gu Weizhi asked him to stay, saying that there were too many Yingying Yanyans around the family head now, and he had to secure his position as the main wife.
Moreover, Gu Weizhi also told him that now he could win over Shen Qingshu and those children to fight against Yunxi and Qingning.
He always believed in his third brother's words.
"And you, Xiaotong, Xiaoyu, Xiaomouse... whatever you like, you have to tell Brother Tingzhi, you know?"
"Um."
Except for the child who had no scheming, the other children just raised their heads and were startled.
Probably because they are being taken care of by Brother Yunxi these days, and they like the food cooked by Brother Yunxi, so they prefer Brother Yunxi to cook.
But they also knew that the man who claimed to be Tingzhi's brother was the husband of Xiaomeng's sister, so after hesitating for a moment, they all nodded in agreement.
Gu Tingzhi didn't know that these children had so many small thoughts in their hearts, but he felt proud that he had temporarily overpowered Yunxi, and there were more smiles on his face.
On the contrary, Yun Xi's face looked disappointed.
His head was almost buried in the bowl.
Qingning looked very unhappy.
Several times I wanted to stand up and defend him.
It was Yunxi who kept quietly pressing Qingning's hand under the table, so Qingning didn't say anything.
What are you talking about? If you are a married man, who am you?
He's just a person who has lost his reputation a long time ago.
Isn’t it right for people to declare their sovereignty?
Yun Xi thought helplessly in her heart.
Zhou Xiaomeng looked at Yun Xi, who looked lonely, and then at Gu Tingzhi, who was proud but actually had sadness in his eyes. She sighed helplessly, thought for a while with a headache, and finally spoke.
"Yunxi, I didn't think carefully about this matter. Thanks to Tingzhi, I reminded me that it's time for our family to hire a cook. In this way, I will have someone put up a recruitment notice tomorrow, and everyone will
Tell me what dish you want to eat, and then we can let the recruiter take a look and pick a good one."
"Master?"
