Chapter 362: Little An’an’s Cooking
With that, Ling Chuan went to the kitchen without waiting for her reply.
Qi Yan hurriedly followed him and answered cutely, “Oh, I think he went out. Grandpa woke up early this morning.
“Oh, right, you’re looking for Grandpa…”
Qi Yan subconsciously wanted to rub shoulders with Ling Chuan, but the man suddenly turned around. His figure was dark and cold, and he seemed to be giving off an indescribable sense of disgust?
Qi Yan instinctively stepped back and obediently didn’t say anything else.
On the other side, Ling Chuan deftly picked up the wine that Grandpa Qi had hidden under the cupboard and also picked up two sets of cutlery in passing, before he turned around and walked out the door.
Standing delicately on the side, Qi Yan meekly made way for him.
The man’s gaze was cold and he didn’t look at her at all. He was like a gust of wind, and was just about to leave.
Qi Yan inexplicably felt embarrassed and angry. She gritted her teeth and hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she said, “Erm, last night, I heard that I accidentally knocked into you. I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Mm.”
The man paused for a moment before just giving a light reply.
He didn’t say anything else, and left without looking back.
From beginning to end, he never looked at her.
Qi Yan was left hanging. She didn’t even have the nerve to ask, “Then, will you forgive me?”
She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms.
…
Grandpa Qi went out into the fields early in the morning.
After what happened last night, he hadn’t slept much, nor was he in the mood to.
He simply went to work in the fields.
Although An’an had told him not to tire himself out in the future, he didn’t have anything else to do.
Grandpa Qi looked sad. He picked up a small shovel and dug around in the field. He couldn’t help but look up at the sky and sigh.
Suddenly, there was a strong aroma of food.
Qi Xiuyuan turned around and saw Ling Chuan, who had already opened the box and was walking over.
The man spread a light-colored mat on the ground with slender fingers.
Very quickly, in twos and threes, fish, crayfish, some vegetables, peanuts, and wine were all placed on the mat.
The smell was enticing and whetted the appetite!
As a set of cutlery was handed to him, Old Master Qi felt inexplicably awkward. He didn’t take it immediately, but looked up and asked Ling Chuan, “Why are you still here?” Didn’t he say not to come over?
Ling Chuan didn’t care at all. Seeing that Grandpa Qi wasn’t taking the cutlery, he placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of him. Then, he sat down on the other side and poured himself half a cup of wine. He took a small sip, then picked up a small piece of fish and placed it in his mouth.
The texture melted in his mouth. The freshness of the fish mixed with the spiciness of the condiments gave off a refreshing and satisfying feeling!
Ling Chuan pursed his lips in amazement and casually praised, “Mm, Little An’an’s cooking is indeed very good!”
With that, Ling Chuan picked up his chopsticks and started eating again.
On the other side, Grandpa Qi couldn’t help but ask feebly and also a little greedily, “Did little An’an make this?”
He looked at the fragrant and tender crayfish!
Each plate was bursting with flavor, some with garlic, some with a little chili. One plate had cute and appetizing-looking crayfish balls!
There was also a golden braised carp which looked delicious!
Grandpa Qi couldn’t help but swallow. Their little An’an had made all these!
Chapter 363: Didn’t Work Hard
He thought back to when that girl had been so small and weak; she probably couldn’t even hold a ladle then!
It seemed that her body had really recovered!
The old man couldn’t help but feel happy from the bottom of his heart. He picked up his chopsticks and was about to hurriedly try a bite, but in the end, he still asked with a tense face, “I’m asking you, why did you still come?” Didn’t I tell you not to come?
“How can I not know what you’re like?”
Ling Chuan was speechless. He no longer cared, and opened the wine pot and politely filled the old man’s cup.
More, more, more!
The old man’s eyes were secretly filled with hope. Unfortunately, Ling Chuan only poured as much as Lu An would let Grandpa Qi drink. Ling Chuan immediately covered the wine pot after that and put it away.
Stingy!
The old man was secretly full of disdain.
Ling Chuan said, “You’re worried that your granddaughter will continue making a fuss, so you deliberately did that to prevent her conflict with An’an escalating, right?
“In any case, based on what I know of An’an, even if you keep her away like this, she will still help you and do whatever it takes to be filial to you. She might just be a little more mindful so that she doesn’t make things more difficult for you.
“As for your biological granddaughter, you yourself are clear on what she’s like.”
As Ling Chuan spoke, he put on gloves and skillfully peeled a crayfish for the old man.
Grandpa Qi couldn’t help but fall silent. He nodded and said, “That’s right.
“How should I put it? Yan Yan gives me the feeling that she’s more sensitive. She’s not as open-minded as An’an. I need to give her a better sense of security… So…”
As Grandfather Qi spoke, he drank a mouthful of wine. At the same time, he picked up the crayfish which Ling Chuan had peeled for him and put it in his mouth.
“Oh~”
It instantly stimulated his taste buds!
The crayfish meat was fresh and delicious, and the texture was pure. In the garlic sauce, the flavor was so good that it left a lasting aftertaste!
Grandpa Qi already couldn’t help but put on gloves himself and start peeling. He asked again, “Is this really our little An’an’s cooking?”
“Otherwise?”
Ling Chuan had a very proud expression on his face. At the same time, he said, “I bet it’s a battlefield at my place now!”
“Mm, that’s possible!”
They thought of Lu An’s brothers.
No. 3 and No. 5 looked a little livelier, so their behavior was more or less understandable.
However, with No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4, two were refined and upright, while one was otherworldly and serene. Unexpectedly, when they quarreled…
In particular, although No. 1 looked very inflexible, he was actually the one who could do the most.
They were already bad enough when they ate dinner last night. Today, it was Little Sister who had cooked the food herself. They were probably…
Grandpa Qi was in full agreement with Ling Chuan. He could basically already imagine them fighting over the food.
On the other side, the brothers really didn’t disappoint them.
When Lu An called them over to eat, they sat obediently at the dining table and pretended to be polite to each other.
After the first crayfish was swallowed —
“I dug out all these small ones. Take it easy. You didn’t work hard, and you still want to take advantage when you’re eating?”
A certain big brother directly seized all the small crayfish that was in the pot. If anyone dared to reach out with their chopsticks, their hands would be crippled.
No. 3 and No. 5 were aggrieved.
“Forget about Second Brother and Fourth Brother, but we clearly helped out, right?”
Chapter 364: The Wrong Way to Handle Things
No. 3 clamored unhappily. “Why can’t we eat it?”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
Little No. 5, who didn’t dare say anything, chimed in weakly.
In the end —
“You think you deserve them?
“All of you hid behind me and made a fuss over small things —
“‘Ah, Big Brother, this is so small! There are even ants crawling on the side. Is it poisonous?’
“‘Ah, Big Brother, a centipede actually crawled over just now. I was scared to death!’
“Ah, Big Brother, ah, Big Brother — all of you only know how to make noise. I never said anything about all of you kicking up a fuss, but you still dare to come and claim credit in front of me?”
A certain big brother was really speechless. He mimicked their tones from last night and gave them cold and disdainful looks. Then, he unceremoniously scooped up a big spoonful of crayfish and stuffed it into his mouth.
His handsome face was tense and proud.
Little No. 3 and No. 5, who couldn’t help but want to cry: “…”
On the other side, a certain second brother wasn’t convinced. “We were the ones who caught the big crayfish. All that the rest of you did was cheer like spectators from time to time. Then, doesn’t that mean you have no right to eat the big crayfish we caught either?
“Put that down!”
A certain big brother immediately retorted, “Look at how weak you and No. 4 are. What you caught probably doesn’t even equal Little Sister’s scraps and can be counted on one hand. You dare call yourself part of the team?
“You’re taking all of Little Sister’s achievements as yours. Lu Jingfan, why didn’t I know you’re actually this shameless?”
A certain big brother’s gaze was full of disdain and he rolled his eyes hard.
A certain second brother really looked ashamed.
“Then, even if No. 4 and I can’t be counted, that should all be Little Sister’s. What’s with you then, holding everything in your hands?”
“That’s right, that’s right!”
Four pairs of eyes were fixed on Big Brother, plus that of a greedy little Ergou and even a certain little robot who didn’t know what was going on.
A certain big brother inexplicably felt a little guilty, and said stubbornly, “I’m guarding it for Little Sister. If I hand it to you gluttonous people, it’ll probably be gone by the time she returns.”
A certain big brother acted with even more confidence.
“You…”
No. 2, No. 3, and No. 5 were about to die of anger. They had never seen such a shameless person!
In the end, a certain big brother only meekly stopped when Little Sister came back.
He only gave them a little on account of Little Sister. Look at them, acting like they hadn’t eaten in their previous lives. How embarrassing!
The other brothers were about to explode with anger. Who’s the glutton? It’s clearly you, it’s clearly you!
D*mn it!
A certain big brother’s lips curled up slightly as he thought to himself:.As expected of these little brats. So stupid!
On the other side, Ling Chuan and Grandpa Qi were still chatting.
After talking about Lu An’s five brothers, the two of them ate contentedly.
They even clinked their cups together and sighed at the five guys messing around.
Suddenly, Ling Chuan changed the topic and said, “Actually, I think that the more sensible and understanding a person is, the better she should be treated. On the other hand, Grandpa Qi, because An’an is more open-minded, you hurt her in order to give a selfish and willful person a sense of security, because you know that An’an won’t blame you, and will even empathize. However, don’t you think that this is actually the wrong way to handle things?”
