Splendid little maid

Chapter 117
Chen Xi returned to the east courtyard with his things, then turned his head and said to Fu Zhu who was behind him, "I'll put these grains in the small kitchen, Fu Zhu, put the fruits in the side room."

She can also bring the herbs along the way, and take them out together later.

Fuzhu nodded very simply and said: "Good!" His face was full of happiness.

Grinning.

There are so many fruits.

Happily, Fuzhu carried her things across the threshold and walked towards the main courtyard.

Chen Xi went straight to the small courtyard over there, Linglong was washing clothes, and Yu'er was busy preparing their breakfast in the kitchen.

These children are all capable, and they are not lazy. It is much easier for Chen Xi to have them. At least she has not worried about the odd chores now.

They did a really good job of this, and they didn't make people feel uncomfortable.

Linglong tapped and rubbed the clothes nimbly, when she heard the movement and found that Chen Xi had returned, she immediately got up and shook off some of the water droplets before running over to wipe the corners of the clothes.

"Sister Magpie, I'll help you! Ah, there are so many things from the outer courtyard!"

Linglong quickly took the jar of soy sauce, feeling happy when she saw so many things, she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, thinking that they were not short of food for the time being.

Then their magpie sister wouldn't have to venture out so often.

She was afraid that something would happen to her, and then they would have nothing to rely on.

Seeing their happy faces, Chen Xi also felt happy, and said with a smile: "Not only that, there is even a big duck over there. I just bought a lot of seasonings for cooking. You guys are delicious!"

Linglong couldn't be happier when she heard that, if she hadn't been holding the soy sauce jar, she would have run around to have fun, and the meat from their east courtyard could continue to be served.

And Chen Xi usually cooks better than them, if she cooks seriously, it will be even worse.

Linglong even began to ask expectantly what to do, sticking close to her side, that is, Fuzhu was not around, otherwise she might still be jealous.

Seeing that she was childish, Chen Xi didn't say anything to her, just smiled and said: "Half roasted and half made ginger duck, the humidity is very heavy this day, it's good to drive away the dampness."

Although Linglong had never heard of this dish, she smiled and said: "Sister Magpie's cooking must be delicious, we can just wait for it, if you want to fight, just call me, I'm the chef in the kitchen now Works great too!"

As she spoke, she puffed out her small chest, showing that she was very reliable.

Chen Xi knew that she often worked with Yu'er, so she did all the housework well. On the contrary, Fuzhu did less housework because she was often busy with embroidery.

But everyone is divided and cooperated, and they never care about who does more or less.

Do what you see.

Chen Xi didn't care about them, there was no intrigue, they were very peaceful.

She also coaxed Linglong with a smile and said, "Come on, I know you've been serious about things lately, so I'll reward you with a big duck leg tonight, there are four of them, one for each of you is just right."

Even the part with the root of the wing, if it is cut larger, it can indeed make up four duck legs.

Linglong was happy and shy when she heard the words, she lowered her head and smiled before remembering that there were not enough counts, so she hurriedly said: "I don't want it, sister Magpie, you want to give us one for each of the four of us? You have to think about yourself too." .”

Part of the reason why she admired Chen Xi so much was because she really didn't care about these things.

It can be said that she dotes on them quite a bit. Even though she is not much older than them, she always lets them in, treats them like children and completely forgets that she is also a child.

For this reason, Linglong expressed very sensiblely that she really didn't want it, even though she still wanted to, but she felt that her sister Magpie would let them every time, so she would give up her share, and she herself was willing.

Thinking about it this way, she wasn't so greedy, but felt that she was very sensible, so she said sweetly: "Anyway, other meat is also meat, and you can eat it. We used to have meat in the countryside, and we only got meaty meat during the Chinese New Year all year round." .”

Seeing that she wanted it but gave it up, Chen Xi thought it was funny, so he said, "Really? Then I really won't give it to you?" She just teased her, and she would have to give it back at night.

As an adult, she is not keen on these things, but she can understand the children's likes, and when the time comes, they will have the young master and Yu'er, so she doesn't have much grievance?

Although Chen Xi has no father or mother, her grandfather loves her very much.

There are no other children in the family. When chickens and ducks are slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, the old man will not touch the chicken legs and duck legs on the dinner table, and always keep them for her.

Seeing that Linglong and the others are well-behaved, Chen Xi will of course love them, and they have no father or mother just like herself, she can still have a grandpa, but now she is just passing on her love and putting her grandpa's love for her Linglong and the others.

While she is healing them, why not see her own shadow in them and heal herself. In fact, this is a good thing of two-way feedback.

And she understands that the better she treats them, the better they treat themselves.

Chen Xi felt that what she paid was worth it, so she chose to continue to give to them.

Sure enough, Linglong readily agreed, and this time there was a smile in her eyes without any reluctance.

Chen Xi smiled and asked Linglong how they cook the chicken and duck in their hometown for Chinese New Year.

Linglong rarely finds an opportunity to get close to her sister Magpie, so she talks happily.

"In our hometown, chickens, ducks and fish are all precious things, and they are only available during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, we have to build a house. New bedding and furniture are made during the New Year. After all, there are guests coming or visiting. It’s when a craftsman is hired to do something that he kills chickens and ducks.”

Linglong was very happy when she talked about this incident, and seemed to recall the scene of the Chinese New Year at home in the past.

"What's the trick in our method? They are boiled and then sprinkled with salt. This is the time of the year when you can eat something more delicious. Usually it is very light in your mouth, and the salt taste is delicious. Speaking of I'm going to drool."

Linglong held the things and thought about it, and the smile on her face couldn't help but drop again.

Chen Xi asked: "Are you homesick? Would you like to go back if given the chance?"

But Linglong said: "I don't want to. I follow Sister Magpie and you are very good. My family is not good to me. They only give me leftovers to taste during the New Year, but my sister wants to give me duck legs. In my house, that must be The eldest grandson and my grandma’s most beloved grandson only have it, and because I’m a little girl, I have to be worse than them, but you treat me so well, so I don’t want to go back.”

Her tone was rare and firm, and her serious expression meant that she was speaking the truth.

Patriarchal patriarchy is also serious here, so Linglong should not be doing well.
