Qian Renxue shrunk his little neck, but still shouted stubbornly:
"Stinky daddy! Stinky daddy! That's stinky daddy!"
Qian Xunji smiled and lifted her daughter up and shook it in mid-air.
"Then who are you? Daddy's daughter?"
Qian Renxue was shaken until he giggled.
"My name is Xiao Xue, Qian Renxue."
"Whose Xiao Xue?"
"Hahaha... daddy's."
Hearing this, Qian Xunji put her down, held her in his arms again, lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"Yes, you are daddy's Xiao Xue."
"Dad."
"Huh?"
"I miss my mother."
Qian Xunji looked down at his daughter, feeling as if his heart was being tugged by something.
"Mom will be back soon, very soon."
Qian Renxue nodded, "I want to go out."
"Okay, let's go out and see what grandpa and grandma are doing."
Qian Xunji carried Qian Renxue out of the room and came to the yard.
The sky has completely darkened, but the yard is bright.
Because Bi Dashan is hung with two newly developed Soul Guidance Lamp, the halo of incandescent lamps envelopes the entire courtyard.
There is a low table in the center of the courtyard, with several vegetable baskets and a wooden basin on the table.
Liu Xiulan was squatting by the wooden basin washing vegetables, and Bi Dashan was sitting on the small stool next to him, holding a piece of meat in his hand and cutting it carefully.
In the other corner of the yard, Bibi Xi was holding Ling Yuan and was mumbling something.
Ling Yuan leaned in his arms with a smile on his face and punched him from time to time.
Bibi Xi didn't hide away. Instead, he got closer and whispered in her ear, which made Ling Yuan laugh and curse again.
Bi Dashan looked up and saw Qian Xunji and said, "Are you awake?"
Qian Xunji walked over with her daughter in her arms and nodded. "Well, I just woke up."
He looked at the pile of ingredients and volunteered. "I'll cook tonight."
"It's been a long time since I tasted your cooking."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you tonight."
Liu Xiulan answered the conversation from the side and looked at his son, "Xiao Xi, you also go and learn."
"I'm about to become a father, and I can't even cook. What will my wife and children eat in the future?"
Bibi Xi was chatting with Ling Yuan and raised his head when he heard the words.
"Mom, I can cook egg noodles..."
"Can egg noodles be eaten as food?" Liu Xiulan glared at him, "Go and learn from your brother-in-law."
Qian Xunji looked at him with a smile, "Xiao Xi come too."
"Well, I just want to learn two moves."
He walked to Qian Xunji and looked down at Qian Renxue in his arms.
Qian Renxue was looking at him with Big Eye eyes open, with no expression on his face.
Suddenly, Bibi Xi made a face at her.
Qian Renxue looked back expressionlessly.
Boring and childish.
In the kitchen, the stove occupies half of the room, with firewood piled in the corner and several dark iron pots hanging on the wall.
Bibi Xi squatted in front of the stove and stuffed firewood into the stove.
Qian Xunji stood in front of the chopping board, picked up the knife and started cutting vegetables.
Qian Renxue was placed on a small stool and sat in the corner of the kitchen, holding his chin with his two little hands and watching Bibi Xi light the fire.
"Uncle, the fire is going out."
Bibi Xi looked down and saw that the fire in the stove was indeed small.
He quickly added some firewood and plucked it with pokers.
"Okay, okay, uncle knows."
"Uncle, if you put too much firewood, it will go out."
Bibi Xi looked at the stove full of firewood, then at the stove mouth where thick smoke was rising, and hurriedly pulled out the firewood.
"Ahem--Xiao Xue, can you stop staring at uncle?"
Qian Renxue tilted her little head and looked at him with an innocent look on her face.
"I'm helping my uncle here."
"You call this a gang?"
"You are supervising!"
"Uncle is stupid, why can't you make a fire?"
"I used to focus on cultivation, so the matter of making fire..."
"Just lazy..."
"You're lazy, go ahead and play, don't..."
Bibi Xi was halfway through what he said when he suddenly felt a pain in his hand.
He lowered his head and saw that Qian Renxue had come over at some point, opening its small mouth and biting the back of his hand.
Although the child's teeth have not yet fully grown, the bite of those baby teeth is still quite painful.
"Ouch!" Bibi Xi withdrew his hand and looked at the row of small teeth marks on the back of his hand, "Why are you biting me?"
Qian Renxue has retreated to the stool, still looking innocent.
"Uncle is stupid, I will teach him how to make a fire."
Bibi Xi: "..."
He took a deep breath and looked at Qian Xunji.
"Brother-in-law, your daughter bit me."
Qian Xunji is cutting vegetables without looking back.
"Saw it."
"Then you don't care?"
"What the hell?"
Qian Xunji put the chopped green onions into the bowl, "What she said is right, you are indeed stupid."
Bibi Xi: "..."
He decided not to argue with the father and daughter.
Continue to light the fire.
After a while of fussing, the fire was finally lit.
Qian Xunji laid out the chopped ingredients, took out a few eggs, and looked at Bibi Xi.
"Come here and teach you how to cook."
Bibi Xi came over and stood by the stove.
Qian Renxue also stood up from her small stool, walked to Qian Xunji's feet with her short legs, and looked up at her little face.
Qian Xunji First pick up an egg, knock it on the edge of the bowl, and beat the egg liquid into the bowl with one hand.
"To make an omelette with leeks, first beat the eggs and mix well, then add the leeks and add salt."
He handed the bowl to Bibi Xi: "Try it."
Bibi Xi took the bowl, picked up an egg, and banged it hard on the edge of the bowl.
"Crack!"
The eggshell is broken into several pieces, and the egg liquid mixed with the broken shells falls into the bowl.
Bibi Xi stared blankly at the bowl of "egg liquid mixed with crushed shells".
Qian Xunji was silent for a second.
"Start again."
Qian Renxue chuckled on the side.
"Uncle is stupid! Uncle is stupid!"
Bibi Xi glared at her and started picking out the broken shells in the bowl.
Next is braised pork trotters with peanuts.
Qian Xunji Put the blanched pig trotters into the pot, add peanuts, ginger slices, cooking wine, and water to cover the ingredients.
"Bring it to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for an hour."
He covered the pot and said, "This is simple, just watch the fire."
Bibi Xi nodded and squatted in front of the stove to watch the fire.
Qian Renxue was also squatting next to him, one big and one small, squatting in rows.
"Uncle, the fire is gone."
"Know."
"Uncle, the fire is too big."
"Know!"
"Uncle, the pot is smoking."
Bibi Xi jumped up, opened the lid and took a look - the water was boiling dry.
He hurriedly added water.
Qian Xunji looked on, expressionless.
"Are you sure you want Ling Yuan to eat your cooking?"
Bibi Xi smiled sarcastically, "Unexpected, unexpected."
Stir-fried chicken with ginger and green onion, Qian Xunji makes it himself.
Heat the pan with cold oil, sauté the ginger and green onions until fragrant, add the chicken pieces and stir-fry.
The chicken was sizzling in the pot, and the aroma soon filled the entire kitchen.
Qian Renxue stood by the stove, with his little face raised and his little nose sniffing.
"It smells so good."
Qian Xunji glanced at her and raised the corner of his mouth, "Are you greedy?"
Qian Renxue nodded, staring straight at the chicken nuggets in the pot.
"Don't worry, you can eat it later."
Qian Renxue nodded again, but still didn't take his eyes off the pot.
Bibi Xi looked on amusedly. "Xiao Xue, are you a puppy? You can't walk because of the smell."
Qian Renxue turned his head and stared at him, "Uncle is the puppy."
"I'm a tiger."
"That's the Big Stupid Tiger."
Bibi Xi was choked by her and could not speak.
Qian Xunji shook his head and laughed. When the dishes were about to come out of the pot, Qian Xunji asked Bibi Xi to add salt.
