Chapter 721: Extra : The Beginning of Everything

Old Lady Yang had never eaten so many delicious dishes in her life, and she found it difficult to adapt at first.

Especially when they eat outside, the villagers will always look around with eyes full of jealousy.

Everyone was poor, how come this old lady Yang suddenly became so rich?

Not only did they have to build a new house, but they also had to eat so well, food they had never even seen before.

Under normal circumstances, they would definitely go forward shamelessly to ask for food, but now there were people guarding all around, and those people looked like they were not easy to mess with, so they didn't dare.

Even the workers ate better than them. They all wanted to build a house for Old Lady Yang, but she was not short of people, and they never found a time when Old Lady Yang acted alone.

With so many people watching every day, Old Lady Yang was a little uncomfortable at first, but after eating like this for several days in a row, she gradually got used to it.

No matter what others think, as long as she is happy.

But Old Lady Yang noticed one thing, that is, Yang Fan’s fellow apprentices were all very kind to her, especially Qi Ming, who was two or three years older than her but was her nephew, and the second fellow apprentice Xu Huaiyu.

It’s not surprising that senior brothers are so kind to junior sisters. These days, Old Lady Yang has met every one of Yang Fan’s senior brothers.

They were all very nice to Yang Fan and seemed to love her like their own daughter.

The only exception was Second Senior Brother Xu Huaiyu. Old Lady Yang sometimes always felt that there was something indescribable in the way his eyes looked at Yang Fan.

Old Lady Yang felt something was strange, and so did her nephew Qi Ming.

Old Lady Yang knew that he was not only a disciple of Sanqing Palace but also the general's son. She had heard his followers discuss it in private.

It is said that Qi Ming was always a little master who was pampered and cared for by everyone at home. He had everything provided for him and he never had to do any work as a servant.

But now he served Yang Fan very efficiently, not only moving the table and setting the dishes, he also picked up dishes and served rice for Yang Fan.

He even cooked for Yang Fan himself!

When the followers saw Qi Ming cooking in the kitchen on a stool that day, they were terrified, fearing that he might accidentally hurt himself.

But when they saw him cutting vegetables, cooking and stewing soup with such skillful movements, his followers began to doubt their lives and wondered when the young master had learned how to cook.

And most of the meals he cooked were for his junior uncle Yang Fan.

After discussing for a long time, the followers came to the conclusion that the lady was going to give birth again. It was heard that the baby in the lady's belly was the daughter the general had always wanted, and the sister that the brothers Qi Feng and Qi Ming had always been looking forward to.

Now Young Master Qi Ming cooks and serves Yang Fan every day, it must be because she is a girl.

He took care of her like his sister. Now that he has experience in taking care of younger sisters, he will be able to take better care of his own sister in the future.

This was the unanimous opinion of the followers.

This explanation makes sense, but Old Lady Yang always feels like something is wrong.

Yang Fan has a mature personality, and sometimes when old lady Yang talks to her, she has the illusion that she is an adult.

Qi Ming is two or three years older than her and his words and actions are very mature, not like a child.

So when Old Lady Yang watched the interaction between the three of them, she always felt an indescribable weirdness.

"Junior Master, I caught this fish from the river. Try it and see if it tastes good," Qi Ming picked up a piece of fish and gave it to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan: "Okay, I'll try it."

Xu Huaiyu picked up a piece of rabbit meat for Yang Fan, "Yang Fan, I caught this rabbit in the woods. Rabbit meat tastes best at this time."

Yang Fan: "Let me try it."

Qi Ming: "This soup is delicious. I picked the mushrooms in the mountains early in the morning."

Xu Huaiyu: "This is a method I just researched. Try it and see if it tastes good."

“Eat this…”

"Eat this..."

Old Lady Yang watched helplessly as the food in Yang Fan's bowl piled up into a small mountain. Yang Fan didn't know when he stopped, looking at the mountain of food in front of him expressionlessly, with a frown on his face.

These two are here again...

Yang Fan took a deep breath and said, "You guys take the food you picked up. I have hands and can pick it up myself."

How can she eat it when it’s piled so high!
Her emotionless gaze swept over Qi Ming and Xu Huaiyu, and they immediately took the dishes from their bowls. Soon, only a piece of fish and rabbit meat were left in her bowl.

The two men pretended not to see the two pieces of meat and did not pick them up.

Yang Fan didn't bother with the two pieces of meat. He ate the fish first and then commented, "The fish is okay, but there are too many bones. Next time, I'll get fish with fewer bones."

"Okay, Junior Master," Qi Ming looked at Xu Huaiyu proudly.

Junior uncle ate my fish first. Master, I won this round.

Xu Huaiyu's face was gloomy, but when he saw Yang Fan picking up the rabbit meat he cooked, his expression eased a little, "The rabbit is well cooked, very delicious."

Xu Huaiyu's expression changed from gloomy to bright. "As long as you like it, I'll get you some other game to try tomorrow."

Now Qi Ming's face turned bad.

He secretly made up his mind to work harder to improve his cooking skills and try to get Yang Fan to praise the deliciousness of his dishes.

Old Lady Yang stood by and watched them fighting with each other, forgetting to eat for a moment.

"Grandma, eat this meat. It's delicious."

Yang Fan picked up a piece of pork belly for Old Lady Yang. It was not made by Qi Ming and Xu Huaiyu. It was something Yang Fan packed and brought back from the restaurant.

"okay……"

Old Lady Yang collected her thoughts and picked up the meat from the bowl. As soon as she picked up the meat, she suddenly felt two pairs of eyes staring at her.

To be precise, it was the meat in her hands.

Old Lady Yang looked at the two of them in confusion. Is there something wrong with this piece of meat?

Qi Ming and Xu Huaiyu withdrew their gazes as if nothing had happened. They thought to themselves, it seems that she likes to eat this meat, they need to learn how to cook it.

Yang Fan guessed the two people's little thoughts, twitched his mouth, pretended that he knew nothing, and buried his head in work.

After the meal, Old Lady Yang didn't even have to do anything herself, as Qi Ming and Xu Huaiyu had already cleaned up the mess.

While they were away, Old Lady Yang picked up Yang Fan and put her on her lap and spoke to her in a low voice.

"Yang Fan, you are still young. Don't be in a hurry to think about some things, and don't be fooled by others' temporary kindness."

These days she finally understood that Qi Ming and Xu Huaiyu's kindness to Yang Fan was not just a simple friendship between fellow students.

Forget about Qi Ming, he is not much older than Yang Fan.

But Xu Huaiyu was ten years older than Yang Fan, and men of that age in ordinary families would have already married and had children.

Yang Fan is still so young, they are not suitable for each other.

Old Lady Yang has lived for so many years and understands that men are selfish and passionate by nature.

When I love you, I will open my heart to you. When I don’t love you anymore, I will open my heart and lungs to you. You can’t trust me.

She was afraid that Yang Fan would be dazzled by these men at such a young age and suffer in the future.

She also didn't think it was too early to say these things to Yang Fan now. She believed that she could understand what she said.

Yang Fan naturally understood. She was not a real child and she knew all the little thoughts of Qi Ming and Xu Huaiyu.

Yang Fan hugged Old Lady Yang's neck and snuggled into her arms, "I know, grandma, no one can deceive me."

She is still a child and doesn't think about these things.
