Chapter 293 Heartbreaking

This is the first time that the boss has grilled something in his past life. The grilled shrimps are still very good without being grilled to a char like Luo Shiliu. Don't ask too much!

 It's just grilled without marinating. It's just grilled without seasoning. What a big deal.

Bai Lu felt that it was nothing at all, and her mood, which had not had many emotional ups and downs, instantly calmed down.

Start to peel off the shrimp shells one by one, pick up the small brush on the side table, dip it in the seasoning, and brush it onto the shrimp.

 Finish the seasoning, sprinkle with cumin and chili powder, and put it back on the grill to grill.

 You will be able to eat delicious grilled shrimp skewers in no time.

Bai Lu completed a series of operations under Xiao Cheng's silent gaze. While waiting, another string of red and slightly burnt grilled shrimps suddenly appeared in his right vision.

 “Sister-in-law, here you go.”

 In order to avoid Bai Lu’s misunderstanding that he asked her to help with the seasoning, Xiao Wei also specially explained: “I’ll give you something to eat.”

Bai Lu stopped peeling the shell, and looked at the little guy with a serious face in surprise: "Aren't you going to eat it?"

Xiao Wei shook his head: "Sister-in-law eats first."

Just when Bai Lu was about to say no, three bunches of red prawns stretched past Xiao Cheng and came directly from the left.

 “Sister-in-law eats shrimp!”

 Bai Lu saw Xiao Cheng's darkened face and immediately took the shrimps from Luo Shiliu, Xiao Dazhuang and Wang Hao.

“Thank you, you can just bake it yourself, you don’t need to bake it for me...”

“Sister-in-law, eat first!” the three of them shouted in unison.

Bai Lu finally discovered that something was not right with Xiao Cheng, Xiao Wei, Luo Shiliu, Wang Hao, and Xiao Dazhuang tonight, and organized a barbecue for everyone for no reason.

 Give her grilled shrimps for no reason.

Although, except for Xiao Cheng, who grilled it just right, everyone else was a little burnt, but it didn't hinder the sudden feeling of closeness.

Before Bai Lu could think about it, strings of freshly baked barbecue skewers appeared in front of her again.

Although it is not perfect, slightly burnt, and no seasoning is added, it is completely cooked and not raw, and is edible and healthy.

Neighbors also said: "The female champion takes the first bite. This is the fruit of victory."

"It is your own glory. You are a good role model for children. You are the best!"

Yu Xiaoling also said: "You are the pride of our new town. If you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster and win glory for the province. You must take the first bite first. This is the first time my brother and I grilled pork belly. Try it quickly." !”

Wang Cuihua also emerged from the crowd, looked at Xiao Cheng with a guilty look, held up a bunch of half-burnt chicken legs to Bai Lu, and explained weakly: "I have tried my best."

Yang Sisi was grilling a bunch of chicken. She glanced at Xiao Cheng, who was grilling chicken wings for Bai Lu. When she looked at Bai Lu again, she was convinced: "You are better than me."

 “Bai Lu, look at what I baked...”

 “Look at me, my roast is more fragrant and delicious...”

The boys all appeared at the back. After all, no one could understand how they both admired Brother Cheng and were afraid that Brother Cheng would get jealous and beat someone up, so it took a long time to explain when giving a kebab.

It is really difficult to worry that Bai Lu will misunderstand them and that Bai Lu will not feel their sincerity.

Facing the kind and friendly smiling faces and the kindness of barbecuing with his own hands, Bai Lu would be lying if he said he would not be touched. However, before she could react to her touch, the sound of parking cars sounded from the direction of the riverside entrance.

It’s no wonder that everyone’s attention shifted at the same time. The sound of parking was too loud. Unsurprisingly, it was two big brick trucks.

The people who got out of the trunk were, not surprisingly, all villagers from Xiaojia Village.

Dozens of ordinary and honest figures, with kind and friendly smiles on their faces, surrounded by two kind-faced elders, walked towards Xiao Chengbailu step by step.

Before anyone arrived, the elders spoke proudly: "Finally, we meet the female champion of our Xiao family. She is the only female champion with perfect scores in the national college entrance examination and the most talented girl. She is our good daughter-in-law Bai Lu, good son and daughter Bai Lu." ah!

“The ancestors are all smiling in the sky. White dew that glorifies our ancestors. The Xiao family tree has regained its glory because of you. You are a good son and daughter of our Xiao family forever.”

Bai Lu was shocked and was already stunned. Is the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family also... a child of the Xiao family?

Grandma took Bai Lu’s hand, her wrinkled face full of concern: “Our family Lulu has worked hard, both to do business to make money and to open up a new outlet for the Xiao family’s chestnuts.

“I have to study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination. It must be very tiring. Look, I have lost weight after not seeing you for a long time.

"Grandpa and grandma went to the mountains to hunt for pigweed a few days ago and caught a pheasant. Knowing that they would come to town to see you today, they specially killed it and stewed it for you to replenish your body. It has been stewed for several hours. You should drink more. , take good care of it.”

As Grandma said, she turned around and called out: "Hongying."

"OK OK."

Li Hongying held the bowl given by Xiao Cheng in one hand and a ladle in the other to scoop out chicken soup from the earthen pot held by Xiao Guofu. When she responded, she had already scooped out a large bowl of chicken soup.

To Bai Lu: "Although this earthen pot has a lid to keep it warm, it has been a while since I came to the town from the countryside, and it is not as hot as when I came here. Drink it while it is hot. Drink more, and it will cool down later." It’s delicious.”

Bai Lu took the soup bowl with both hands. The temperature was not hot, but it had already penetrated her palms and scalded her heart. It made her eyes sore and swollen, and the hot mist filled the air instantly.

Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu took off the backpacks on their backs and placed them in front of Bai Lian.

“The lychees and mangoes on the mountain are ripe, as well as the corn. We picked some for you. They were all picked this morning. The fresh ones can be kept for several days.”

Li Hongying picked up a few bunches of fresh ripe red lychees and said to Bai Lu with a smile: "These lychees must be eaten fresh. Fresh lychees are the most fragrant, sweet and delicious."

“You can come back to Xiao’s house often when you have time. You can eat whatever you want. There is everything on the mountain at home. Whether you are happy or not, you can go back with Xiao Cheng to play and see the scenery.”

“My seven aunts and eight aunts at home miss you very much.”

Bai Lu was amused by the last sentence, and the water droplets that came to the corners of her eyes suddenly dispersed, and her tears turned into laughter.

"Sister Bai Lu, these are the flowers that Uncle Mugen asked me to bring you." A little boy who looked seven or eight years old, thin and dark-skinned, held a large bunch of rapeseed flowers that covered his entire upper body and gave them to Bai Lu .

 Explanation in a shy tone: "It rained two days ago. Aunt Mugen accidentally sprained her foot when she went up the mountain to pick mushrooms. Uncle Mugen has to take care of her at home. Uncle Mugen said I wish you the top prize in high school. You will definitely like this rapeseed flower."

Seeing Xiao Cheng staring at the little boy, Xiao Guofu thought he wanted to recognize someone, so he explained: "He is Sanwazi."

“Last time Xiao Zhenwei ordered chestnuts but didn’t buy them from that family. Later, the boss you brought bought chestnuts. Sanwazi’s family now has money for him to go to school. When school starts in September, he can go to school with other friends.”

Sanwazi looked at Bai Lu with gratitude and reverence in his eyes: "Thank you, sister Bai Lu."

 “You’re welcome, study hard and get ahead when you grow up, and don’t forget the folks who have helped you.”

Bai Lu smiled and stretched out her hand, but the rapeseed bouquet was taken away by a big hand that suddenly stretched out from the side.
