The blush on his face deepened suspiciously.
Seeing him so flustered, she happily said, “You are so shy, I won’t tease you anymore.” She reached directly into the washbasin, grabbed his hand, and pinched and rubbed the back of his hand a few times.
He froze, not daring to look up, feeling at a loss in his heart.
Seeing him so embarrassed that he wanted to hide, she pretended to be compassionate and took the vegetables from his hand, “Don’t think too much; I’m just helping you wash the vegetables.”
“Hmm.” His expression was very serious.
Such a bland reaction? She raised an eyebrow, grabbed his hand, scooped water from the basin, and poured it over his hand, “Helping you wash your hands?”
He felt uneasy, “…That’s fine.”
Her wet hand patted his shoulder, “You have such a good temperament.”
His smile was faint.
Enchanted by his elegant smile, she lost herself for a second, “I wonder if Xiao Yuchuan would be so angry if he knew I was bullying you that he’d stomp his
feet.’
“Not at all.” Third Brother would just be jealous.
She glanced at the dimming sky outside, “It’s almost dark, why haven’t Xiao
Yuchuan and second brother returned yet…”
“Don’t worry too much, Third Brother sometimes comes back late.” He also looked at the darkening sky, “As for Second Brother, it’s normal for him to stay in the deep mountains while hunting.”
She nodded slightly.
The smile on the corner of his lips deepened. It’s a good thing that she is concerned about Second Brother and Third Brother. It showed that she was not rejecting the people of the Xiao Family anymore.
There were two pots embedded in the stove, one for cooking rice and one for frying dishes.
Since Su Qingyue knew she had to bathe almost every night, when Second Brother and Third Brother were home, they would try to only use the cooking pot to heat water. The rice pot had no oil stains and was easy to clean. It was usually washed and heated after dinner.
Sometimes the cooked rice would be scooped out in advance, and the hot water for bathing would be heated first.
She poured more than half of the oil from the pot into the vegetable pot, and the oil in the pot quickly sizzled with smoke. She felt a little distressed.
She had put too much oil. The oil at home couldn’t even fill the pot.
She fried the dried sweet potato fries in the pot in several batches, and scooped them out when they were golden.
She poured the remaining oil in the pot back into the jar, leaving only a few spoonfuls.
She had already washed and cut the vegetables and used the remaining oil in the pot to fry them, filling a big bowl when she finished.
If it was just her and Xiao Qinghe, the vegetables could be eaten sparingly.
In case Second Brother and Third Brother came back, and there weren’t enough vegetables, she decided to fry a big handful of them.
Two big bowls of sweet potato fries and a big bowl of vegetables were put on the table.
Su Qingyue lifted Xiao Qinghe onto the chair by the table.
Xiao Qinghe saw her prepare two bowls of rice and two pairs of chopsticks, and was a little surprised. Did she mean for both of them to sit and eat together?
Yes.
Because she had already handed him one bowl of rice and one pair of chopsticks.
Thinking about how she used to throw his things out of the room and the disdain in her eyes and face…
For some reason, even though she’s the same person, he feels that Qingyue now is not the same as she was back then.
But he wouldn’t mention her past actions, for fear of upsetting her.
Seeing him lose focus, she waved her hand in front of his face, “Xiao Qinghe, eat.” With that, she picked up a chopstick-full of fried fries and another full of vegetables in his bowl, “Taste my craftsmanship. I’m not bragging, but my cooking is much better than what your second brother and third brother make. ”
Touched by her helping him pick up the food, he nodded, “Just based on the color of the dishes, yours are the best..”
