Chapter 5, Eating Alone
Zhao Yu also did not know why, but felt a bit like laughing
Zhao An'an said: "Inside the house"
No one is allowed to disrupt her plans
The little girl, hearing her call, timidly stepped out
He went into the room and returned with a tube of toothpaste
Zhao Yu instructed Zhao Ping to take care of their parents and younger sister before leaving
Du Tian frowned, glanced at the next room, and resolved to investigate what had happened tomorrow
Zhao Yu felt a twinge of irritation as she glanced at her.
Uncle Qian
The girl stood barefoot on the carpet, keeping him locked outside the door
Zhao Ping feared that he would succumb to temptation, biting his lip as he pulled Zhao An'an into the house, preferring not to see.
Before long, Zhao An'an entered following Daining.
Where is my meal
Zhao Yu saw the girl tiptoe to take a glance at the village chief's house, then turn back to look at his own home, her face showing a difficult determination as she resolved to go inside to see the person packing up their belongings
He turned around and asked in a lowered voice, "What happened?"
Dai Ning said: "Quickly give me some mosquito coils"
The young lady looked at the remaining bit of toothpaste with a face full of suspicion, disdainfully, and did not show any gratitude or extend her hand to take it, as if it were something filthy
If she were not very obedient to her elder brother, she would have already followed the fragrance to knock on the young lady's door by now
Dai Ning knew that Zhao Yu was quite proud, so she did not provoke him. With a cheerful smile, she raised the crystal dumpling in her hand and asked about his younger siblings
Dai Ning does not care who goes; as long as she has food to eat, she is fine and is not afraid of Zhao Yu harming her. After all, he is one of the male leads, and Zhao Yu would not stoop to such a disgraceful act.
Zhao Yu raised her eyebrows in the shape of the character "川": "to cut rice."
"What are you going to do?" she asked in a muffled voice
Du Tian did not wear a skirt today; she dressed relatively neatly, wearing knee-high boots and carrying a basket as she headed out.
Zhao Yu was displeased with Daining's attitude towards directing Xiaomei as if she were a servant. He hurriedly finished his porridge and said to Zhao An'an: "Elder brother is going out, you stay at home."
It is now July, and there are quite a few wild fruits in the mountains, such as wild sweet potatoes, myrtle, and raspberries. I have contacted several farmers, and they can take us into the mountains at any time
Zhao Yu was not surprised at all; he let Zhao An'an enter the house first
Not to mention the soft carpet on the floor, the luxurious large bed fills the room to the brim, and there is a pile of stuffed toys on the bed. The curtains have transformed into elegant small floral patterns
Regardless, she must obtain Zhao Yu's heart in order to possibly escape her current predicament and live a good life
Until early in the morning when Uncle Qian came to deliver the meal, Zhao Yu saw the young lady push the door open, with several dried white marks on her arm, suggesting she was still feeling unwell, secretly applying her own toothpaste.
Zhao Ping did not dare to go and asked his younger sister to call instead
Uncle Qian sighed from the side, feeling that the young lady was simply a devil. Logically speaking, since she was staying at someone else's house, it would have been enough if she were not generous, yet she still teased others.
He couldn't care less, so he continued to fetch water.
Zhao Yu, infuriated, did not even glance at her and rolled up his pant legs as he walked away
She glanced at Zhao Yu's home, feeling somewhat perplexed
The young lady mumbled and complained about a lot of things, and Uncle Qian patiently comforted her. She brought up many strange and peculiar requests, which Uncle Qian carefully noted down
As a typical "Phoenix man," Zhao Yu is quite qualified in terms of his basic qualities, particularly in protecting his family.
Zhao Yu looked at her, grabbed a line, and put down the water bucket: "Wait a moment."
Du Tian has crossed over into a book and has endured more than half a month of hardship in a small mountain village, and at this moment, she is feeling a bit greedy
Has something happened at Zhao Yu's house? Du Tian went out to forage for wild vegetables in the afternoon. After all, she has the fate of a female protagonist, her life skills are fully developed, and she is also an excellent cook
Although he is more composed than anyone else in the village, the hardships of his childhood and the discomfort of being only seventy percent full also immerse him in that fragrance
As he came and went, the sky grew dark
The eggplant pancake is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delightful flavor that bursts in your mouth with each bite
Let alone the rice porridge cooked in pineapple, the chef took an hour to prepare it
The young lady squatted down, extending her arms with a look of dissatisfaction
Zhao Ping opened his eyes wide, fragrant! So fragrant! He had never smelled food this fragrant in his entire life
Take me to see your brother harvest rice
A different fragrance, yet still the familiar allure
What could be more enjoyable than playing the male and female leads
At this moment, it is nearly 8 o'clock. Daining has half a bun in her mouth as she watches Zhao Yu leave with a sickle.
How could you have me stay in such a place! This time, Daining is truly not nitpicking; the room is both small and damp, with a single layer of floral fabric on the window. Although it is not cold in the summer, is this a haunted house?
Zhao Yu frowned
This area is relatively safe, with few poisonous substances or ferocious beasts.
Before she entered the book, her family was of average means, but she had tasted good food a few times and could vaguely recognize several famous dishes. Given Zhao Yu's current status, it was already good enough for his family to have rice and grain, let alone afford such delicacies
He did not expect Daining to choose to stay
She brought a bunch of strange things, yet she didn't bring the most basic mosquito repellent. She was originally a lucky E, and the mountain mosquitoes swarmed around the tender and delicious young lady for an entire night, making Daining so angry that she wanted to smash this broken house
Zhao An'an was caught off guard when a piece of candy was stuffed into her mouth, her expression blank. After a while, she closed her mouth and cherished the wonderful taste.
Zhao Yu glanced at her, almost laughing out of anger
Zhao Yu washed his hands and said, "Call Miss Ji to come for dinner"
Child, do you want to eat
Seeing that Zhao Yu's expression was genuine, Daining realized that he was probably speaking the truth. She had no desire to continue exploring the other rooms and appeared listless.
Zhao Yu stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, a small head peeked out from inside the room
Zhao An'an
Zhao Yu met her gaze and finally felt that his younger siblings were a bit embarrassing. He nudged them and said, "Look at our parents, I still have work to do"
The bodyguards left just as Zhao Ping finished feeding his parents.
The eyes of the two children could not help but fall on her. Zhao Yu's expression turned serious, and this time his voice was heavy: "Zhao Ping, Zhao An'an!"
Miss Ji has gone to stay at his home
She wore a look of disdain: "Forget it, seeing how poor your family is, I won't eat your rice. Later, Zhao An'an will go and ask Uncle Qian to bring me food."
In the mountains, there is no signal, and the mobile phones are hardly usable. Without any entertainment activities, Daining can only look forward to the food. She opened her breakfast box, and this time, the Zhao siblings could not help but look over.
Zhao Ping and Zhao An'an were waiting at the door, and Zhao Yu asked: "Where is Miss Ji?"
Uncle Qian looked at Daining after she finished washing up and asked her, "Where would the young lady like to go for fun?"
Zhao Ping, who came out with them, quickly waved his hand: "No, no, An An and I need to take care of ... ... "
Zhao Yu also has trouble sleeping
Dai Ning let out an "oh" and was about to speak when she saw the neighbor's door open, and a young maiden stepped out.
What remarkable person has the eldest son brought back?
Zhao Yu's pitch-black eyes lowered, remaining silent as he picked up the food box and walked back
It is indeed Du Tian
Zhao An'an listened and nodded: "Oh"
She ignored the fragrance and got out of bed to ask her mother
She was born not long before her parents fell ill, and was raised by two rough brothers. The little girl had a life even worse than her brothers.
In Daining's lunchbox, there is a stack of delightful meat buns, a stack of exquisite steamed dumplings, two egg pancakes, and even pineapple pudding and soy milk
Several bodyguards acted swiftly, having already arranged Daining's belongings, laid out the carpet, and replaced the curtains
The green团 does not wish to speak; it guides Daining through the time passage, with little energy remaining. Over the past few days, watching Daining's antics, it realizes that this supporting character is truly spoiled and disobedient.
Miss Ji," the young man said softly, "this is the only type of house my family has. Currently, we cannot demolish and rebuild. If you are not satisfied with this one, you may look at others.
Buns and steamed dumplings are small and exquisite, with skins so thin that the filling is visible, and the dumpling skins are as translucent as crystal
She no longer expects Daining to conquer the male lead, but only hopes that Daining does not provoke him to the point of wanting to kill her
Zhao Yu said: "I will go deliver the meal, Zhao Ping will help An An wash her face and feet, then go to sleep"
Dainin said, "You may leave."
Although her attire is not meticulous, one can tell from her meticulously arranged hair that she is going to meet someone
Dai Ning looked at her beautiful dress and had no intention of changing it, but she needed to change her slippers. She excitedly ran into the house and changed into her beige sandals
Zhao Ping, with a mouthful of candy, felt the sweetness on his tongue and, with a downcast expression, said: "I will take you to find my brother"
Zhao Yu, with a blank expression, turned and went into Zhao Ping's room
Zhao Yu did not turn around but knew who this was
Dainin thought seriously for a moment: "Is there anything fun to do?"
His family cannot afford such a delicate witch
Zhao Yu noticed that she seemed rather listless, and in just one night, the young lady appeared somewhat pitiable. As dawn approached, a few rays of light descended, and the pair of round eyes before him surprisingly evoked a sense of endearment.
He suddenly swallowed hard and whispered, "Brother, what is Miss Ji eating?"
Compared to Du Tian, this woman is even more restless. Upon hearing that the young lady's surname is Ji, Du Yuexiang had a terrifying suspicion. Du Yuexiang is preoccupied with her thoughts, appearing absent-minded.
Dainin instantly changed her mind, losing interest in the wild fruits, and immediately announced: "I want to go see the rice harvesting"
Zhao Ping and Zhao An'an stared at her lunch box without blinking, especially Zhao An'an. In her two lifetimes, she had never seen such a fiery light in the little girl's eyes.
Zhao An'an curiously watched from a distance as Zhao Yu turned his sister's little head around
Dainin did not sleep well all night
In fact, several bodyguards are secretly watching over the young lady out of concern for her safety
She pouted, feeling an itch in her arm, and kept scratching.
Recalling those two exquisite food boxes, he covered his younger brother with a quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Sleep."
At five thirty in the morning, she heard the rustling sounds from next door and knew that someone was already up. Daining quickly got out of bed.
Dainin did not want to speak; she glanced at the darkened wooden table and bench, having no intention of sitting down.
Zhao Yu is accustomed to waking up very early
I originally thought that after a day of turmoil, I would finally find peace. However, just as I lay down on the bed, a tempting aroma wafted through the air
Dai Ning took out two imported milk candies, unwrapped them, and stuffed them into their mouths
In the other corner of the room, Zhao An'an lay in her bed, her eyes glazed over by the enticing aroma of Daining's cooking
Zhao Yu handed it to her, and through the door, he saw that his originally humble room had completely transformed.
Zhao Yu did not wait for her; he picked up the congee and silently ate, yet his eyes could not help but secretly observe this drama queen, wondering what kind of trouble she was about to stir up again
Zhao Ping was choked by the candy, nearly brought to tears, yet he was reluctant to spit out the sweet candy in his mouth
Zhao Yu guessed that the young lady got up so early, likely due to some dissatisfaction.
She had been eating alone for quite a while when, as if recalling something, she turned her head and saw two pairs of bright black eyes
He had just brought up a bucket of water when a figure appeared beside him
He spent a whole day in the field, more exhausted than his younger siblings
Do not be led astray
Zhao An'an sat on the bench and whispered, "Miss Ji is having a meal"
Please take care of our young lady, little brother
The mountain village also has candy, the kind that costs one jiao for hard candy, which is sweet but not particularly tasty. However, imported candy is different; Zhao An'an has never known that candy could be this delicious
She is very fragrant, and her steps are light; no one in the village could possibly afford perfume
This glance carried a hint of the usual authority used to reprimand younger siblings, but it was ineffective against Daining, who seemed to have discovered something amusing and was giggling uncontrollably.
The houses in the countryside do not provide sound insulation, nor do they block odors. Upon smelling this fragrance, Zhao Father and Zhao Mother felt quite uneasy
The food box in hand is divided into several layers, heavy and dense, and Zhao Yu has no desire to investigate what is inside
As the eldest son, he has many responsibilities to attend to each day. He wakes up around 5 o'clock, and the first task is to fill the water tank. After that, he goes to assist his parents in using the toilet. If there are clothes that need washing, Zhao Yu should also clean them at this time. During the hot summer, the clothes can be hung out to dry all day, and they can be collected at dusk
My family does not have such things. We are used to tough skin and thick flesh, who is afraid of mosquito bites? Moreover, mosquitoes have not been so harsh on the locals either
Her cat-like eyes curved: "Quick, take me there"
Using this will improve the situation
Zhao Yu lowered his gaze and saw several conspicuous red marks on her tender arms. If these few mosquito bites were on someone else, they would likely be inconsequential, but for Daining, whose skin was fair and delicate, resembling pure snow, these red marks were striking and alarming to behold
Dai Ning glanced at the several bowls of porridge on the table and guessed that the male lead probably did not welcome her very much; otherwise, there would at least be a dish to entertain guests.
Uncle Qian was informed of the purpose of the visit, and he was already prepared, knowing that the young lady would not be at peace in someone else's house
Zhao Yu sighed: "I asked Zhao Ping to find some herbs for you to burn, rest assured, it is as effective as mosquito coils"
As the water was nearly finished, Zhao Yu looked and saw that Daining had already left
The girl ran over and held the partially eaten eggplant pancake to his mouth, asking, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Zhao Ping curiously glanced at the food box in her brother's hand and nodded in agreement
Without mentioning the Zhao family, the neighbor Du Tian also sat up from the bed
Uncle Qian took out two food boxes and handed them to Zhao Yu
