90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 292 Good Days

 At this time in the past, neighbors were already cooking, eating, and watching the stars and the moon at home.

Tonight, neighbors who had business dealings with roasted chestnuts or had good chats with Bai Lu on weekdays all walked together to the riverside and greeted her when they saw her from a distance.

There were also home-made snacks such as melon seeds, freshly fried pumpkin seeds, salted peanuts, etc. in his hand, and they were shared with her.

Bai Lu thanked her neighbors for their kindness and accepted a small handful of salt-fried pumpkin seeds from Sister Zhang.

She had never eaten this kind of snack before. Smelling the salty and burnt aroma, she suddenly felt an appetite and wanted to try it.

As soon as a piece of clinker was peeled off, the children next to her, one big and one small, stared intently at her hand, as if they wanted to taste it too.

“Sister-in-law, you said you have something good that you want to share with the whole family.” Xiao Wei wanted to eat it sincerely.

Bai Lu was stunned, sighing and giving a small half to the little guy: "Why don't you want it when Sister-in-law Zhang gave it to you just now?"

 “I want it from my sister-in-law.” Confidently.

 “Sister-in-law is my family.”

Bai Lu was giving the other half of the pumpkin seeds to Xiao Cheng. After hearing the words, she paused for a moment, and the broad palm gradually became clear in front of her eyes. She could see the thin callus on the tiger's mouth from holding the gun. It was the most complete interpretation of strength and safety not long ago. She Letting go, the pumpkin seeds fell into his palm one by one.

When you touch it inadvertently, the scorching temperature passes through the palm of your hand and hits your soul directly, focusing your divergent thoughts.

 Bai Lu subconsciously raised her head.

Xiao Cheng didn't look at her, his lowered eyes stayed on the palm of his hand, and he retracted his hand as if nothing had happened.

 Peel the pumpkin seeds slowly.

Sister-in-law Zhang, who heard Xiao Wei's words from the side, laughed and said: "Yes, yes, your sister-in-law is your family. In the past, you didn't like to talk or go out. You were like a little boring gourd. If you didn't care about the old hen hatching the little ones, Chicken boy is interested, I'm afraid I won't be able to say a word to you for the rest of my life.

“When Bai Lu comes, you become what a child should be like. It’s good to have your elder brother and sister-in-law at home. You know you have family behind you, so you don’t have to be afraid of anything..."

Xiao Wei agreed seriously: "Brother protects sister-in-law, sister-in-law protects me, and I protect the old hen!"

At the end of the sentence, I realized I had forgotten something, so I quickly added: "There are also chickens."

 Sister-in-law Zhang said "yo": "How long has it been since they were hatched? How many chicks do you have now?"

 Xiao Wei: "It's been more than two months..."

 Bai Lu listened to Xiao Wei and Mrs. Zhang chatting about home affairs, and ate the pumpkin seeds peeled by Xiao Cheng. The stagnation that had accumulated in her heart for the past few days silently opened a hole.

 In the hot summer, it is always so hot during the day that people don’t want to go out, but it is a little better at night. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows by, cooling the face, and it is especially comfortable every step of the way.

The night sky is also beautiful, with stars hanging down on the river, like the Milky Way thousands of miles away, until the fire suddenly rises.

"on fire!"

 “It’s on fire, put it out quickly!”

There was a commotion along the river. When Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng arrived, the fire had been put out.

There were no casualties and no major property losses. The fire was extinguished at the fastest speed in history. It was extinguished with just a handful of water from the river.

 Cause of fire—BBQ grill.

The scenery is pleasant, the moon is shining brightly, and the oil lamps are held up high by bamboo poles inserted into the ground, illuminating the grassland by the river. A group of old men gather around the barbecue grill to criticize.

“The food hasn’t been baked yet, but it’s just brushed with a layer of oil. It’s so weird that the wire mesh is on fire.”

“I’m afraid this is not a fake!”

“I told you to buy the barbecue grill from the late-night stall owner, but you didn’t listen. Now it’s better, just buy bricks and build your own barbecue grill. It’s weird if the barbed wire doesn’t burn.”

"Why are you so smart? You can blame the barbecue grill for the barbed wire fire. This is obviously due to two reasons. The boss's barbecue grill has so little charcoal capacity that the grilled items will not be cooked for a long time, leaving the sister-in-law hungry. Is it obvious that a large barbecue grill built with bricks is the most practical? The more charcoal you put in, the better it will cook!”

“Okay, okay, okay, you’re awesome. You’re right. Why did the barbed wire catch fire?”

"That is, how can we bake it when there is a fire?" "You can't bake it until you put out the fire."

“Okay, you’re right, my brother and sister-in-law are here to see what you bake?”

As soon as Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng walked to the barbecue grill, Luo Shiliu took out a bunch of burnt things from a large cardboard box on the ground and offered it to Bai Lu: "Sister-in-law, eat a crab."

"This thing... is a crab?" Bai Lu looked carefully at the black coal in front of her. It really had eight legs.

Luo Shiliu thought that Bai Lu didn't believe it, so he immediately explained: "I just rescued the crab from the fire, and even Pearl didn't grill it so seriously!"

“Everything they grilled was burned by the fire, but I was the best at roasting it in time and successfully rescued it, although Brother Cheng’s skewers were not rescued.”

　　The time for the grilling has been set long ago, and the plan is that when Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu come over, they can have their first delicious skewers.

result…

Xiao Cheng glanced at the eight burnt and broken black legs in front of him, and directly rejected the "poisonous crab" for Bai Lu.

  “Eat what you bake yourself.”

By the time he finished speaking, he had already crossed Luo Shiliu with Bai Lu in his arms, and Wang Hao and Xiao Dazhuang, who were watching the show and showing sympathetic expressions, sat down on the freshly made green bamboo benches in front of the barbecue grill.

Hands on yourself, pick up a bunch of chicken wings and a bunch of shrimps in the big bamboo basket on the table next to the grill.

 Start roasting.

Xiao Wei then took a bunch of shrimps, a bunch of lean meat that looked like pork and should be pork. He sat next to Bai Lu, rolled up his sleeves and started to learn barbecue from his elder brother.

Luo Shiliu bit into the grilled crab with a sad look on his face. He vomited it the next second and ran to the riverside to rinse his mouth.

Bai Lu sympathized with him for three seconds. When she saw the 100-meter-long barbecue grills going down the river, she was a little shocked: "What day is it today? Why do everyone come to the river to barbecue?"

  Xiao Cheng said while flipping the shrimp skewers: "Good day."

Bai Lu hadn't been shocked by Xiao Cheng's short and honest answer for a long time, and her mouth twitched slightly: "Did Luo Shiliu, Wang Hao and the others pile up bricks to build such a long barbecue grill?"... I think I heard the neighbors just now. Lift.

Xiao Cheng held a knife in his hand and cut open the chicken wings, nodding slightly: "They piled them together with some of the neighbors."

　　　Bai Lu suddenly understood.

The neighbors who come to barbecue all bring their own charcoal and ingredients. It is the first time for everyone to barbecue. If you don’t know how, you can learn from Xiao Cheng. If you don’t learn it, you can continue to learn.

 In the barbecue team, there are also young lovers who are in love but not polite, and they learn barbecue seriously together.

Luo Shiliu's grandfather and Xiao Dazhuang's mother all came to have a barbecue. Wang Hao's mother had to take care of Wang Hao's father who was on the sickbed and didn't have time to come over. Wang Hao would bake something later and take it back for them to try.

Young people chatted about life and ideals while baking things, while the elders chatted about their family and family affairs. They each had their own faction, and the atmosphere was harmonious and enjoyable.

Obviously, the unexpected fire just now not only failed to dampen everyone's enthusiasm, but actually made it even higher.

Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng are sitting in the middle of the 100-meter barbecue grill. Xiao Wei is on the right, and they are familiar neighbors below.

 Except for Luo Shiliu, Wang Hao and Xiao Dazhuang, there is a large space on the left and no one is there.

"Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?" Bai Lu intuitively felt that the empty barbecue grill on the left was waiting for someone.

As expected, Xiao Cheng replied with one word: "Yeah."

 Bai Lu was a little curious, but not much, and her attention was instantly diverted by the grilled shrimp skewers handed over by Xiao Cheng.

 “Have a taste.”

Bai Lu took the red shrimp skewers in front of her: "It seems that the seasoning hasn't been added yet."

 Xiao Cheng: “Don’t you put it in after it’s baked?”
