One big and one small are practicing love

Yesterday afternoon, Liu Xiaochen asked Aunt Liu to buy beef bones, beef tendons, kelp, tofu skin, spices, etc.

The soup takes more than ten hours to simmer, and you have to start making it in the morning.

The meat should be braised early and then soaked in the soup for half a day to make it more delicious. In this way, you can have a bowl of beef noodles with delicious soup and meat at night.

Liu Xiaochen carefully washed the beef bones and beef. Boil water to make bone broth and cook beef. Grab aniseed, bay leaves, dried chili peppers, etc., and season... with skillful and brisk movements.

Aunt Liu was helping in the kitchen and said with a smile: "I saw you packing things yesterday afternoon and I knew you were a neat person. Now I see you are also very good at cooking!"

The soup was boiling. Liu Xiaochen was skimming the oil with a spoon and said with a smile: "My family owned a restaurant when I was a child. My parents were the only two people in the restaurant. I started helping the family when I was six or seven years old. Practice makes perfect!"

"Xiaoxiao, do you have a boyfriend?" Aunt Liu suddenly asked.

Liu Xiaochen couldn't help but feel nervous when he thought of Zuo Kunmin, and his movements slowed down. I thought of the word 'boyfriend', and then thought of Teacher Zuo, and tried to connect them, but for some reason, I felt weird.

"No." Liu Xiaochen said without confidence, shaking his head.

Aunt Liu patted Liu Xiaochen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's great. My son just came back from winter vacation last night. You saw my son just now. He is tall and handsome. He is a third-year student in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. He I don’t have a girlfriend, but I like a daughter-in-law like you, who is beautiful and capable. You are also about the same age, how suitable it is."

Liu Xiaochen shook his head anxiously and said with a wry smile: "Your son is too good and I am not worthy of him. Stop making fun of me."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the living room, followed by a child's scream. Liu Xiaochen dropped the spoon and ran out.

I saw Zuo Xu squatting on the balcony and crying, his easel and paints fell to the ground, and there was a pile of broken glass next to him. The glass in the middle of the balcony was broken, and the howling wind and snow poured in.

Zuo Yan was sitting in the living room. She jumped off the chair and went to the balcony.

"Yanyan, don't go there." Liu Xiaochen shouted urgently, and then he rushed over, holding Zuo Yan with one hand and Zuo Xu with the other, protecting her in his arms.

Just as he was about to leave the balcony, the glass behind him splashed again. Liu Xiaochen subconsciously held the two children in his arms, arched his back, bent over, and wrapped his arms around them, using his body to support the children's safe space.

The children cried in Liu Xiaochen's arms, and the glass continued to shatter.

Liu Xiaochen knew that he had to leave the balcony as soon as possible. When he lifted his feet to walk, Liu Xiaochen felt sharp pain in his back and warm liquid flowing down his back.

Enduring the pain, she kept the same posture and walked towards the living room to protect the children. When they reached the safe area, Aunt Liu came and there was a quick knock on the door.

"It's too dangerous here, let's go! Go to my house." Aunt Liu said, dragging Liu Xiaochen out.

"Who is knocking on the door?" Liu Xiaochen guarded the child vigilantly and did not move. She could feel that someone was deliberately smashing the glass, and the knock on the door was strong and male-like.

Aunt Liu glanced through the peephole, turned around and said, "He is the one who protects us, don't worry." As she said this, she shed tears. Then he took off the down jacket from the hanger and put it on Liu Xiaochen, only to see a bright red patch on her back.

Aunt Liu opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw the frightened and crying children, she said nothing and only gently put her down jacket on Liu Xiaochen.

As soon as the door opened, four straight men came in. One of the men ordered the other three men to send them up, then picked up his cell phone to make a call.

When going upstairs, Liu Xiaochen heard a voice behind him.

"Send medical staff up immediately, Unit 402, West Gate [-]. Send another group of people over."

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Aunt Liu's son appearing at the door in a panic, saying urgently: "Mom, are you okay? I heard something going on downstairs."

"Mom, it's okay." Aunt Liu shook her head anxiously and said, "You look after the children, I will take care of Xiaoxiao."

Liu Xiaochen pulled Zuo Yan and Zuo Xu tightly into his arms, looked at Aunt Liu warily, and said, "I'll just keep an eye on them."

"Xiaoxiao, I know you are worried about the children because of the situation just now. Please rest assured that my son is one of our own, and these three brothers are also protecting us. Why is this happening, I will tell you later. But it is not convenient for the children We know and see." Aunt Liu shed tears as she spoke.

Seeing Aunt Liu's look, Liu Xiaochen knew that she was telling the truth. Looking at the upright faces of the three men in front of him, he guessed something in his heart. After confirming that the children were safe, Liu Xiaochen nodded and let go.

He carefully checked that there were no injuries on the children, and then said to the children: "Don't be afraid, the little teacher is here. You and your brothers go in, and I will say a few words to Aunt Liu."

Zuo Yan wiped away her tears with her sleeve and nodded: "Don't worry, little teacher, we will be obedient."

Zuo Xu said with a sob, "I will be good."

The two children followed Aunt Liu's son and three other men into a bedroom.

Seeing the children entering the house, Liu Xiaochen grabbed Aunt Liu's hand and lowered his voice and asked urgently: "Aunt Liu, what's going on?"

Aunt Liu choked and said, "My child, don't worry about this for now. The doctor will be here soon. Let's treat the wound first. I'll tell you when it's over."
