Eating

Yi Ke hadn't been woken up by chickens today. She'd been woken up by a knock on the door.

Just as she opened the door and was about to throw a tantrum, she met Yu Xiang, whose eyes were filled with tears. The little girl did not even comb her hair. She held the candy she had given her for the past two days like a little hedgehog and looked pitiful.

"Miss, Brother said that Sister Shi will be coming to my house as a guest later. Please save my house!"

Yi Ke looked at Yu Xiang blankly and felt that she was still in a dream. "So be it. How can I save it?"

Seeing her like this, Yu Xiang knelt down with a thud. Her tears fell even more fiercely as she looked at her without saying a word. Yi Ke was shocked by this scene and hurriedly pulled the little girl into the room. If Yu Heng saw this, he would blame her for bullying a child.

Yi Ke wiped Yu Xiang's tears. It took her a long time to remember what she had said to trick the child. She didn't expect that her casual words at that time would leave such a huge trauma on the little girl and she would remember it until now.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I'll help you." Yi Ke calmed Yu Xiang down and told her a way to stop Yi Shi from becoming her sister-in-law.

Yu Heng wiped and cleaned for most of the day. By the time he was done, it was already ten o'clock. He looked at the time and began to prepare the food.

Yu Yu didn't have much of an opinion about who came as a guest. However, his eyes lit up when he saw Yu Heng preparing meat dishes. He hadn't eaten meat for almost half a year. This time, he could finally have some meat.

Ever since Yu Xiang and Yu Yu could cook, Yu Heng basically didn't cook anymore. He didn't have any obsession with eating, as long as he could fill his stomach. However, his culinary skills were actually very good. This time, he couldn't let the two children cook porridge.

Yu Heng deftly slaughtered a chicken and planned to make braised chicken nuggets. There was also cured meat made from his family's New Year's pig. He stir-fried bamboo shoots with cured meat, blanched the wild vegetables he picked, and mixed them with cold water. He cooked corn and made rice.

Yi Ke stood at the door and watched him busy himself. She was a little unhappy. She had never seen Yu Heng treat her like this on the day she came.

Yu Xiang stood at the side and felt even more uneasy. In her memory, her family only cooked meat when something big happened. Was his brother really going to marry Yi Shi? The more Yu Xiang thought about it, the more afraid she became. She subconsciously held the hand of the person beside her for comfort.

When Yi Ke was held by the child, she was a little surprised. However, when she saw that Yu Xiang was about to cry, she did not shake off Yu Xiang's hand. Instead, she patted her head and comforted her.

After the food was ready, Yu Heng first distributed a portion to his parents. Actually, Mrs. Yu had recovered quite well these two days, but after hearing that it was a girl who came to the house for a meal, she still decided to eat with Mr. Yu in the small room. Despite Yu Heng's repeated persuasion, she still insisted.

"Child, this, in another way, is meeting the parents. Your father and I will leave a bad impression. You can entertain them yourself." Mrs. Yu looked at Yu Heng with a smile.

Yu Heng didn't know how to explain to his mother that it wasn't a meeting at that level, but looking at his stubborn and gentle mother, Yu Heng gave up. He put down his bowl and began to feed his father.

When he came out of the small room after tidying up, Yu Heng saw the Miss, who had never appeared in the living room because she despised his stool for being dirty, sitting upright in the main seat. Beside her was Yu Xiang.

Hearing his movements, the two girls turned to look at him at the same time, like two cats, one big and one small.

Yu Heng sighed. He wasn't surprised that Yi Ke would cause trouble. He could only threaten in a low voice, "Don't cause trouble."

Yi Ke looked at him innocently. Yu Heng felt as if he had seen a little white cat. A second ago, he had warned her not to do anything bad, but the next second, she pushed the cup to the ground.

Yu Heng was really helpless. Ever since Yi Ke moved into his house, he felt like he had aged twenty years and sighed every day.

"I won't cause trouble, I'll just eat!" Yi Ke looked righteous and even raised her hand to swear.

Yu Heng watched as she gestured a 'four' with her fingers, but he still couldn't help but sigh heavily. He resigned himself to fate and went to serve the dishes and rice.
