I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"Brother, you are in for a treat today. I bought a Yellow River carp that someone else caught on their own."

Around five o'clock, Cao Jinse arrived home, a little earlier than her usual get off work time, after all, today was the weekend.

On weekdays, she rarely came back for meals. She either had social events or had to eat at the company because Cao Xiuguo would also eat in the Peking University cafeteria. On weekends, when Cao Xiuguo was not teaching, she would basically come back.

"Yes, sir, the boss is a big one."

Rabbit picked up the bag in his hand to show off.

The fish was not dead yet, and it was indeed quite big, probably around 7 or 8 kilograms, and it was struggling and jumping in the bag.

An average girl might not have the strength to hold it.

"Can you finish such a big one?"

"How can we not finish it? The rabbit alone can eat most of it, so there is no need to cook other dishes."

After hearing what the young lady said, Maotu was not angry at all. Instead, he felt proud and clapped his hands triumphantly.

"Yellow River carp is the best of all carps and has been a delicacy at banquets since ancient times. The Book of Songs says, 'If you want to eat fish, you must eat carp from the Yellow River. Brother, we have the good ingredients. It's up to you to show off your skills tonight."

The division of labor in the Cao family is quite clear.

Someone is responsible for buying it.

Someone is responsible for doing it.

"Gulu."

Perhaps thinking about the taste buds enjoyment in the near future, Maotu couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Cao Jinse heard it and tilted her head and said, "You little rabbit, you are so lucky."

"It's a pity that some people don't have the good fortune."

Cao Jinse looked at her elder brother, confused.

Cao Xiuge didn't explain.

Cao Jinse didn't take it to heart and told Maotu, "Go kill him first."

You can’t just be responsible for eating.

In this family, everyone has to feel involved.

Rabbit was not lazy. He nodded as if to say "who else but me?" and immediately walked towards the kitchen with the fish.

In addition to eating, she is also the most professional in this family when it comes to killing.

Cao Jinse looked at the furnishings under the locust tree, not noticing why there were two chairs. "Brother has been reading for another afternoon."

"Ah."

Cao Xiuge smiled faintly: "You never stop learning."

"Tsk, tsk."

Cao Jinse sat down in someone's previous position, "Brother, you really want to be a great professor."

Seeing an extra cup, Cao Jinse didn't think much about it. She naturally picked up the priceless enamel teapot and poured herself a cup of cold tea.

“This cup…”

By the time Cao Xiuge made a mark on "Diary of a Madman" so that he could read it next time, and when he looked up and discovered it and wanted to stop it, it was too late.

"what happened?"

Cao Jinse was puzzled and thought there was something wrong with the tea. She looked down at the yellowish tea in the cup, but found nothing unusual, so she took another sip tentatively.

It tastes the same as usual.

Cao Xiuge seemed to be hesitant to speak, and it was unusual for him to seem like he had something to hide.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Cao Jinse asked with a puzzled smile, still holding the teacup in her hand.

Cao Xiu Ge hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to tell the truth. As the eldest brother, he couldn't lie to his sister, and when the two of them met and the granularity was slightly aligned, the truth would be exposed.

"Xiao Jiang was here just now."

Cao Jinse was caught off guard and hadn't realized the point yet. She just asked in surprise, "When?"

"We sat there for an hour or two, and left around four o'clock."

Cao Jinse subconsciously turned around and looked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Cao Xiuge immediately took the initiative to explain, "I asked him to stay for dinner, but he refused."

Cao Jinse retracted her gaze, "What is he doing here? He didn't send me a message."

Cao Xiuge looked at her with a strange expression.

Cao Jinse looked at him in confusion.

"He came to see me."

"..."

So pretentious.

But Princess Cao was Princess Cao after all, she was not that thin-skinned. Under Cao Xiuge's gaze, she simply lowered her head and sipped the authentic-tasting herbal tea.

"What does he want from me?"

I still have doubts.

"chat."

"chat?"

"Ah."

"You two chatted? For over an hour?"

Cao Jinse smiled, "What did you talk about?"

"Can't men talk to each other?"

"Brother, what you said doesn't sound right."

Cao Xiuge looked calm. Looking at the tea in his sister's hand, which was almost finished, he suddenly said, "Let me change your cup."

Cao Jinse was stunned and puzzled. After a moment, she suddenly came to her senses.

No wonder there are two chairs here.

Her expression froze, and for a moment she was in an awkward dilemma. It was not right to put the cup down, and it was not right not to put it down.

The way of heaven has reincarnation, and the heaven has spared anyone.

Who made someone drink from her cup not long ago?

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

woman.

There are more or less similarities in some minor details.

Princess Cao, who had nowhere to vent, could only blame her elder brother.

"Did not have time."

Teacher Cao’s main theme is that he is strong and he can be strong as he wants, with the breeze blowing across the hills, calm and peaceful.

Cao Jinse was speechless. It would have been fine if she had nothing to say, but the key point was that in this situation, in front of her elder brother, she didn't know whether she should blush or not.

Blushing, that's not appropriate.

It doesn't seem appropriate not to blush.

"It's okay. Xiao Jiang doesn't know anyway."

"..."

What does Xiao Jiang mean by "I don't know"?

Is this what a brother should say?

Who is the one who suffers the loss?

However, it also proves from the side that Mr. Cao, as a role model teacher, is indeed able to distinguish right from wrong. No matter who suffers, it cannot be someone's responsibility.

He was just drinking tea, you can't accuse him of molesting him.

"You really are my brother."

Cao Jinse finally found an opportunity and put the cup down reasonably, showing a feeling of being angry but not knowing where to vent.

"The fish are all killed~"

The rabbit came running over, jumping and skipping.

Cao Xiuge stood up with the book in his hand and said, "I'll go cook."

Maotu, who didn't know what was going on, just stopped and saw the lady with a stern face.

Why is this little rabbit so happy every day?

"You sit down for me!"

The best ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods.

Instead of trying to eat multiple dishes with one fish, Cao Xiuge chose to cook seven or eight kilograms of carp in one pot.

The rabbit, who was beaming with joy just now, became listless for some reason. He sat at the dining table with his bowl in hand. He was no longer excited when he smelled the delicious smell of the fish soup and remained silent.

"I got taught a lesson again."

Cao Xiu Ge, the main culprit, gloated over the misfortune. As the head of the family, he actually helped Mao Tu, a servant, to serve fish.

Maotu pouted in grievance, "Thank you, Master."

"Don't bother with your lady, eat fish."

Cao Xiuge comforted.

The Rabbit picked up the bowl and turned his grief and anger into appetite.

"Be careful of the thorns."

Teaching is teaching, it doesn’t mean that we don’t care, but Rabbit also has a temper, just like a sulky child, turning a deaf ear to the lady’s kindness and continuing to eat with relish.

Cao Xiuge served his sister another bowl of rice and said, "Xiao Jiang borrowed a book from me. Now that he has finished reading it, can you help me put it away?"

Separate public and private matters.

One yard owned by a yard.

What you borrow must be returned. "Why should I get involved in what's going on between you two?"

Cao Jinse took the bowl, obviously feeling aggrieved.

"Xiao Jiang just didn't inform you. Maybe he just didn't want to disturb you at work. You should be more generous."

"I'm not angry."

Cao Xiuge nodded and sat down. "That's fine as long as you don't mind. Don't get upset over such a small matter."

A little thing.

Which aspect do you mean?

"Jiang Chen is here?"

The Rabbit raised his head.

This girl really doesn’t hold a grudge. It’s only been a short while, and she ate a few bites of fish, but how come she seems to have forgotten everything?

"Is Sister Daoist here?"

"Don't call me that. It's rude. Little rabbit, you're not younger than me. Call me by my name from now on."

"But she's better than me."

"..."

"..."

No wonder.

Maybe in her eyes, the strong are respected, not age.

"Can you be more ambitious?"

Cao Jinse is funny. Rabbit obviously has a strong personality, so why has he suddenly become so “unmotivated”?

"Miss, I have ambition, but ambition is not chakra. It can't help you win a fight."

"You eat yours."

Cao Jinse didn't want to say more.

"Before coming to see me, Xiao Jiang met with Song Chaoge."

Cao Jinse was not surprised by this, "I know."

Fang Jun asked him to "take care" of Hu Die. Of course he could refuse, but given that guy's temperament, he would definitely go find Song Chaoge.

"Do you know what they talked about?"

"I didn't put a bug on him, how could I know?"

Cao Xiuge drank a mouthful of fish soup and said calmly, "Song Chaoge has changed a lot."

Seeing her brother like this, Cao Jinse felt something was wrong. "What did they talk about?"

"Xiao Jiang came to see me today mainly to discuss the train paradox with me."

Cao Xiuge used the word "discuss" instead of "ask for advice".

"The train paradox?"

Cao Jinse was of course aware of this paradox, and couldn't help but frown in surprise, "Why did he suddenly..."

"I was influenced by Song Chaoge. Song Chaoge never trusts anyone, but I didn't expect him to be his confidant."

"Brother, what did they talk about?"

Cao Jinse put down her chopsticks, frowned, and became serious.

"You don't know, how could I know?"

"How could you not know? You are Cao Xiuge. He has been talking to you for so long. How could you not see what he is thinking?"

If I remember correctly, Cao Xiuguo taught foreign philosophy, not psychology.

"Song Chaoge should have told him everything he should and shouldn't have said."

Hearing this, Cao Jinse slowly put down her chopsticks, her eyes fluctuated, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Compared to her elder brother, she understands Jiang Chen, and she also understands Song Chaoge.

"What does Song Chaoge want to do?"

Cao Jinse frowned, unable to understand.

"When a man reaches a certain stage, he will want to talk to someone who is his equal, even if he is his rival."

“Brother, are you being sexist?”

While drinking soup from the bowl, Maotu secretly glanced at the young master.

"Do you think men can fully understand you women?"

He is worthy of being called the engineer of human souls.

This simple rhetorical question instantly diverted the possible conflict and left Cao Jinse speechless.

indeed.

Men can never fully understand the way women think, and the same is true for women.

"But even so, shouldn't Song Chaoge take off all his clothes?"

Cao Jinse's metaphor almost made Maotu, who was eavesdropping, spit out what she was thinking, and she choked and coughed several times.

"Miss, Xiao Songzi took off his clothes? He is a pervert!"

Cao Jinse glanced at her unhappily.

"I just told you not to give people nicknames randomly, otherwise people will think that our family is impolite."

"Oh, then Xiao Song... Why did Song Chaoge do this? Did he fall in love with Jiang Chen?"

Maotu's eyes lit up as if he had discovered something remarkable, "He's also gay?!"

“You eat your fish.”

The rabbit kept its mouth shut, but its crystal pink ears stood up high.

"Xiao Jiang's life trajectory is completely different from Song Chaoge's, and also completely different from ours. In addition to confiding, one of Song Chaoge's purposes is..."

"The devil is born in the heart of the Tao."

Cao Jinse responded without focusing.

Cao Xiuge paused and said, "That's not the case."

No recognition.

But it was not completely rejected.

"is my problem."

Cao Jinse came back to her senses and said softly, "I took it for granted."

"You think that Jiang Chen and Song Chaoge will never be close friends, right? And you also think that Jiang Chen's determination is strong enough."

Cao Xiuge smiled faintly and said, "Jiang Chen is indeed good enough, but the time he has to grow is still too short. You can't be too harsh on him."

Cao Jinse smiled bitterly, then looked at her elder brother.

"When he left..."

"I'm in a good mood."

Cao Xiuge replied.

Cao Jinse smiled and shouted in a reproachful tone, "Brother!"

"There is no right or wrong in this world, only positions." Cao Xiuge repeated what Jiang Chen said in the afternoon, "Everyone insists on doing what he thinks is right."

"Master, what you said makes so much sense."

Maotu interrupted again, unwilling to be lonely. This girl was different from Duanmu Liuli. Duanmu Liuli could eat without saying a word, but she couldn't sit still.

"Although what Xiao Song Chaoge did was dirty, it's the same all over the world, and it's even worse abroad. If Mr. Fang hadn't been sick this time... he wouldn't have died."

Man is a product of his environment.

What Rabbit sees from childhood to adulthood is different from most people.

The world is different, so of course the worldview will be different.

This time, Cao Jinse did not teach Maotu a lesson, but chose to remain silent.

"Have a meal."

Cao Xiuge picked up his chopsticks and asked, "How does it taste?"

"great!"

Maotu was the perfect supporting actor and stood up and scooped another big bowl from the pot.

"Brother, one of the purposes you just mentioned."

It is indeed an extraordinary insight.

"What is Song Chaoge's other purpose?"

Cao Xiuge did not answer. He lowered his head to eat the fish and repeated, "Eat."

"elder brother."

"Master, just tell me!"

The Rabbit put aside the past grudges and helped the young lady, feeling very itchy inside. In her mind, the young master had always been the reincarnation of Wenquxing, the modern Zhuge Wuhou, much more awesome than the Zhuge something that the young lady had met last time.

Cao Xiuge still didn't explain, "Think about it carefully."

Also.

Even as a teacher, it is impossible to teach students every question step by step.

Cao Jinse frowned and thought.

"I know!"

Maotu was startled and raised his chopsticks, "Little Songzi is still insidious, Miss, he is trying to sow discord!"

Cao Jinse was distracted.

Cao Xiuge glanced at the rabbit he had been nurturing since childhood.

What does it mean to be wise yet appear foolish?

That's it. (End of this chapter)
