After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 84 The Candy I Couldn't Bear to Eat

Just then, Qi Yunran suddenly had an idea.

Today it seems we're going to Master Yan's place to pick up Xiao Jingxuan.

School in the town ends at 5 p.m.

It was almost dark by then.

At this moment, she didn't care about anything else and immediately prepared to lock the door to pick up Xiao Jingxuan.

But just as she stepped out the door, she saw Pei Yuanjun, carrying Xiao Jingxuan's schoolbag in one hand, and seemingly some other things that she couldn't see clearly from a distance. He then led Xiao Jingxuan back by the hand in the other.

The two figures, one tall and one short, walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing, just like a father and son.

Xiao Jingxuan looked up and saw Qi Yunran at the door. He immediately let go of Pei Yuanjun's hand and ran up to her.

He hugged Qi Yunran's leg tightly: "Thank you, godmother, for having godfather come to pick me up."

Qi Yunran glanced at Pei Yuanjun in surprise.

The man, who used to be so nonchalant, immediately turned his head away arrogantly, as if he was sulking with her.

Looking at his arrogant demeanor, Qi Yunran felt a sense of incongruity. His childlike expression made her want to burst out laughing.

What triggered this?

"No need to thank me. Have you listened to your master's words at the academy?"

"Yes, my master also rewarded Jingxuan with candy, but I couldn't bear to eat it, so I brought it back to my godmother."

After speaking, she took out a small bag of candy from the small pouch in front of him. It was from the town's pastry shop and was very expensive. She was relieved that Master Yan was willing to spend money on it and treated Xiao Jingxuan so well.

"Grandmaster said that only children who listen attentively in class and do their homework diligently every day can receive this. Disobedient children will be punished. This is the candy I saved up for six days of school. Godmother, please have it."

"My little Jingxuan is really amazing, getting so many candies. And he even knew to save some for his godmother. He's such a thoughtful and good child. Godmother adores my precious Xuan."

"Hehe..." Jing Xuan scratched his head sheepishly.

He led Jing Xuan into the room, and this time, before Qi Yunran could even notice him, Pei Yuanjun took the initiative to carry his things inside. Qi Yunran noticed that Pei Yuanjun seemed to be carrying some kind of cured meat.

It's so late now, the shops in town have been closed for ages. Where did he buy it from?

Xiao Jingxuan noticed Qi Yunran's question: "Godmother, the meat that Godfather brought was given by our grandmaster. He said Godfather should bring it back to nourish his body. He also asked when Godmother would go to the town school so you could cook for him again?"

Pei Yuanjun listened intently to the conversation between the mother and son.

His wife's dishes are novel and unique in flavor; they are definitely worth trying.

He really enjoyed the dishes his wife had developed.

Qi Yunran and Xiao Jingxuan are back, and then she thinks about how someone's injury seems to have left some aftereffects.

I made the food lighter when I cooked in the evening.

Finally, after thinking for a long time, he cut off a root from the three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng and stewed a small bowl of nourishing soup for Pei Yuanjun.

I also made steamed egg custard for Xiao Jingxuan, and then washed and chopped the dried rabbit hanging on the roof beam and stewed it with dried mushrooms to make soup.

I cooked another pot of rice; that should be enough for three people.

When it was time to eat, Pei Yuanjun had just reached for the rabbit meat with his chopsticks when Qi Yunran knocked them away with her own chopsticks.

Then a bowl of pale yellow soup was placed in front of him: "This is all you can eat tonight."

She added chili peppers and ginger to the stewed rabbit to remove the gamey smell of the wild rabbit, which wasn't suitable for him to eat.

Xiao Jingxuan glanced up at his godfather and godmother, then lowered his head to eat the steamed egg custard his godmother had made especially for him.

Pei Yuanjun looked somewhat aggrieved by the fierce expression on his face.

But after taking a sip of the soup in the bowl, his eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up the bowl and drank it all.

He tasted the ginseng in the soup, a slight smile playing on his lips, and he drank it down in large gulps.
