By the time Wen Xiu returned home, Tree and Tong Tong were already hungry. However, the two siblings weren't simple and honest idiots. On the contrary, they were very smart. If mother and uncle Shuai didn't come back, then they wouldn't have any food to eat, then they would just eat candied fruits.
Four strings of candied fruits per person, fresh bamboo sticks and hawthorn seeds on the ground were evidence, so the two little fellows could not quibble. Wenxiu did not pity them for eating too much at once, but she was worried that if the two of them ate too much at once, would it turn their teeth sour?
Ah, Ancestor!
Two living ancestors!
Although Wenxiu lamented in her heart, she had to reflect on it. If she went home early to cook, would the children be so hungry that they would eat candied fruits? Obviously not!
In the end, it was still his fault!
No, if she wasn't worried that Li Jun would be bullied by the Li family members, she wouldn't have gone to the Li family to cause trouble, and she wouldn't have delayed her cooking.
Alright, she wasn't wrong. Everything was Li Jun's fault!
Li Jun, who came in two steps later, didn't know that just now, his wife had already scolded him from beginning to end.
"What's for lunch?"
When Wen Xiu saw Li Jun, the expression on her face changed and her tone turned cold. This body of hers was inextricably linked to his, it was really the unluckiest thing in eight lifetimes!
Li Jun didn't answer her, but raised his hand. No one knew when, but a rabbit that was already roasted to a bright gold appeared in his hand. The rabbit meat glowed with oil, and the fragrance assaulted his nostrils, making him drool uncontrollably.
Where did this roasted rabbit come from?
At first glance, Wenxiu could tell that he was holding a roasted rabbit, but what confused her was that Li Jun had been with her all morning. Where did he get the rabbit?
Early in the morning, Wenxiu was busy in the kitchen. She had no idea that the three of them were roasting rabbit meat in the living room. When Old Lady Li and Lady Wang came to the door, she did not enter the hall and was still unaware of the situation inside. When she dragged Old Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang to find Liu Dahe, Li Jun took away the rabbit meat and even cleaned up the fire.
So from beginning to end, she didn't even know that there had once been a fire in the living room, let alone the rabbit meat.
Wenxiu could not hold it in any longer. She frowned and asked, "Where did you get this?"
Li Jun said, "You already grilled it in the morning. It weighs five to six catties and has good fur. I'll make a collar for you later so that it won't get cold in winter."
I have nothing to do with you. Who cares about your neck?
Li Jun was keenly aware of Wen Xiu's expression. Seeing that she did not appreciate his kindness, his heart was hurt. He was the one who carried her first, it was only right that she should test him now!
While Wenxiu and Li Jun were talking, the fragrance of the roasted rabbit had already filled the entire hall.
"Wow, it's done roasting! It smells so good!"
Tong Tong was a greedy cat. When he smelled the fragrance, he forgot about the guilt he felt when he faced his mother. Then he ran to Li Jun and hugged his father's thigh, feeling ecstatic.
Tree was also very happy in his heart, but he was afraid that his mother would be sad, so he kept silent. But from his clear, clear eyes, he could see the joy and joy in his heart.
"Uncle Shuang, can we also treat mother to a meal?"
Wenxiu didn't let Li Jun see through the fact that he was the child's father. So much so that Tong Tong had always called Li Jun "Uncle Shuai", while Tree had never called him "Uncle Shuai".
Li Jun was very satisfied with the Tong Tong Tong's filial piety, having something to eat, and not forgetting his mother. He gently smiled and said, "Of course. Good things must be shared by a family."
"Good, good. Mother, let's eat together!"
The Tong Tong was extremely excited, while Wen Xiu twitched her lips: Shameless man, who are you family with?
With one hand holding the rabbit and the other holding the Tong Tong, Li Jun headed into the kitchen. Wen Xiu followed closely behind, but soon came back. Seeing her son standing there with a gloomy face, she raised her eyebrows. "Tree, you don't want to eat roasted rabbit?"
Tree was a good kid. He wouldn't lie, so he nodded to his mother. "I think so." However, he continued, "But, I'm afraid that mother will be unhappy."
If his mother wasn't happy, then he wouldn't eat uncle Shuai's roasted rabbit.
The Tong Tong Tong was still young, so she didn't understand. She didn't know that her mother would be hurt, but he was her big brother, and he understood the principles of adults. He would rather not eat rabbit meat than be unhappy with his mother.
Upon hearing this, Wenxiu was moved to a complete mess. Tears welled up in her eyes. How could there be such a sensible child? In these past few days, the amount of tears she had shed was actually more than the amount she had shed in her previous life.
"How could mother not be happy?" Wenxiu beckoned towards Tree and squatted down, maintaining the same height as him. Looking at the Tree's eyes, she said, "Mother wants Tree to be like sister, happy and healthy every day. Mother will be very happy."
Tree looked at his mother's sincere eyes, but he could feel that his mother really didn't like Uncle Shuai. He pursed his lips and said softly, "Mother, you don't like Uncle Shuai, do you? Let's kick him out! "
Get rid of...
Wenxiu was both touched and at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to chase Li Jun away?
Ah, Tree is going to be disappointed. I'm afraid Li Jun won't be able to get rid of him easily!
"Alright, let's hurry and go eat the roasted rabbit. Otherwise, if that greedy cat Tong Tong finishes eating, she'll grow fat again. You won't be able to carry her in the future."
"En!" Every time Wen Xiu said that the Tong Tong wanted to grow fat, Tree would be in an extremely good mood. She forgot all the unhappy things. "Then let's go quickly. We can't let her grow fat!"
Wenxiu and Tree's worries were completely unnecessary. The rabbit leg in the Tong Tong Tong bowl was still intact, apart from a row of bite marks.
En, the gluttonous cat didn't eat it?
"The little girl's teeth are sore, she didn't bite!"
Wenxiu: "..."
The Tong Tong Tong was displeased as she sat at the table sulking. Why were her teeth so disappointing? He had clearly tasted it, it was especially delicious!
"Tree, try it!"
Li Jun pushed the shredded rabbit toward Wen Xiu, then handed the other rabbit leg to the tree. There was a gentleness on Li Jun's face that he didn't even notice.
Tree looked at his mother, and seeing her nod, he said, "Thank you," and took a small bite.
However, the situation was the same as the Tong Tong — one could not bite it!
Fine, the brothers and sisters would not move at all after their teeth had fallen. This lunch would save them a lot of time.
Seeing that Wenxiu had not said anything and had not eaten the meat in the bowl, Li Jun softly said, "Don't worry. It will be alright. You will be fine after resting for an afternoon." "You're hungry too. This rabbit is fat and tender, so the roasting is also appropriate. It's tender on the outside as well as tender on the inside. It's the most delicious. Eat more."
Wenxiu acknowledged with a "yea." Actually, she wasn't worried at all about whether the teeth of the two children would break. After all, she had never seen anyone who would lose their teeth after just eating a few skewers of candied fruits.
