Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Xia Qingqing raised her wrist to check the time. It was almost noon, so she asked, "Do you have any food?"

"Yes, I'll do it."

Shen Qiubai walked towards the kitchen

"I'll do it. You go outside and enjoy the cool air."

Of course Xia Qingqing couldn't let him do it.

"Let me wash the vegetables."

Shen Qiubai didn't want to go out, he just wanted to stay with this girl.

"Row."

Xia Qingqing smiled and unceremoniously assigned him to work. The kitchen of this villa was very large and under the shade of a tree. When the window was opened, a breeze blew in, making it quite cool.

Shen Qiubai was sitting there picking vegetables while Xia Qingqing was killing fish. Tie Niu went out to buy vegetables, including meat, live fish, and vegetables, and the refrigerator was full.

She planned to make braised crucian carp, shredded pork with green peppers, tomato and egg, steamed pork ribs with garlic, winter melon meatball soup, and stir-fried beef. Tie Niu had a big appetite, and Shen Qiubai also had a big appetite, so she had to cook more dishes.

"Sister, eat roasted eggs!"

The little fish ran in excitedly, holding a black baked potato in his hand. The skin had been peeled off, revealing the golden flesh, which was emitting steam. The little fish's mouth was also black from eating.

Xia Qingqing took a bite and it was indeed delicious. She smiled and said, "It smells really good."

"Brother Tieniu is so awesome!"

Xiaoyu has a mysterious worship for Tieniu. In his heart, his sister is the most beautiful person, brother Tieniu is the most powerful, and Shen Qiubai is the smartest.

He thought for a moment, and put the baked potato that Xia Qingqing had just bitten next to Shen Qiubai's mouth, "Brother Shen, eat it."

Shen Qiubai also took a bite, and it was the place that Xia Qingqing had just bitten. It was not known whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally. He bit very slowly and looked at Xia Qingqing while biting.

"It's delicious, thank you, Xiaoyu."

Shen Qiubai tasted it carefully, with a hint of affection in his eyes. Xia Qingqing's face suddenly turned red. Could it be that this guy didn't do it on purpose just now?

Shen Qiubai bit the place she had bitten before. Wasn't that an indirect kiss?

And this guy bites so ambiguously...

Xia Qingqing shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She killed the fish neatly and scraped off the black film in the fish's belly. If this black film was not removed cleanly, it would taste very fishy after being cooked.

The corners of Shen Qiubai's mouth curved slightly. He did it on purpose just now. He had waited too long and didn't want to wait any longer.

"Should I braise or steam the crucian carp?"

Xia Qingqing was concentrating on killing the fish and didn't notice that there was someone next to her. Shen Qiubai's voice scared her and the fish in her hand fell to the ground.

"Why are you like a ghost?"

Xia Qingqing glared in annoyance and bent down to pick up the fish. Shen Qiubai was faster than her. He picked up the fish and threw it into the pond. He looked at her with a smile, "I called you, but you didn't hear me. What are you thinking about?"

"What do you want to cook? Go away, you're disturbing me!"

Xia Qingqing's face turned red again. She would never admit that she was thinking about this guy.

She pushed Shen Qiubai aside and started to heat the oil in a pan. However, while cooking, she always felt like there was a pair of fiery eyes behind her, so hot that they could burn through her back.

Xia Qingqing had never felt so uncomfortable as she did now. She didn't dare to look back, for fear that Shen Qiubai would see her uneasiness.

Finally the dish was ready, Xia Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and carried the dish out, while Shen Qiubai took the bowl and chopsticks and shouted outside: "Wash your hands and eat!"

"Coming!"

Tie Niu and Xiao Yu ran in happily, their faces and hands were all black. Xia Qingqing couldn't help but frown and said angrily: "Wash your face and hands!"

The two dared not disobey and went to wash their hands obediently. They applied a lot of soap before they washed them clean. Seeing the fragrant dishes on the table, Tie Niu shouted happily: "Sister Qingqing, the dishes you cook are really delicious, better than my brother's."

"Why are you talking so much? Let's eat!"

Shen Qiubai glared and placed the prepared rice in front of him. Tie Niu had a specific large bowl. One bowl of rice was the amount for a family of three in one meal, but with such a large bowl, Tie Niu had to eat three bowls in one meal to be full.

The reason why this kid joined the army was not because of any lofty ideals, but just to avoid going hungry. He had eaten up all the food at home, and the rations saved by his parents and brothers were not enough for him to eat.

Tie Niu couldn't bear to see his parents and brothers go hungry, so he signed up to join the army. Although his IQ was not very high, his fighting skills were excellent and he was a natural soldier. It was a pity that even after joining the army, Tie Niu never had enough to eat.

Shen Qiubai accidentally discovered that Tie Niu ran to the mountain late at night to catch field mice and roast them for food. At that time, he was the company commander and Tie Niu was a soldier under him. After he learned about it, he realized that this soldier, who was like a calf, had never had a full meal.

So he paid for Tie Niu to have a full meal in the cafeteria. Everyone was stunned to see Tie Niu eat thirty steamed buns and a big bowl of braised pork. Even the army could not afford to feed him such a big appetite.

From then on, Shen Qiubai kept Tie Niu as his mistress. Fortunately, he was rich, otherwise he really couldn't afford it.

When Tie Niu finished his first meal, he secretly vowed to listen to Shen Qiubai for the rest of his life.

Because before he joined the army, his mother told him: "Son, from now on, whoever feeds you will be the one you should respect. Remember this!"

Tie Niu kept it in mind and remained loyal to Shen Qiubai.

Shen Qiubai picked up the meat from the fish eye with his first chopsticks and put it in Xia Qingqing's bowl. After doing so, he was stunned.

Because in his dream, he picked up the food like this when he and Xia Qingqing were having dinner together. Although he and Xia Qingqing didn't eat together many times, it felt like the warmest time.

"You eat too."

Xia Qingqing reciprocated the favor and picked up some fish soup for him. She remembered that Shen Qiubai loved to eat fish soup.

Shen Qiubai's mouth corners curled up. Qingqing remembered all the things he liked to eat.

Tie Niu looked at the two of them again and again, but really couldn't understand it. Eating a fish was too much trouble. He was too lazy to think about it anymore. He scooped some soup into the bowl, picked up some vegetables, stirred it, and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Xia Qingqing and Shen Qiubai ate their meal with their own thoughts. It was a very sweet meal. After they finished all the food, Tie Niu washed the dishes and pushed Shen Qiubai back to the gear rolling machine factory. Xiaoyu followed Xia Qingqing back to live in Ping'anli Lane.

As soon as I got home, Zuo Yang came to my house. He came to pick up clothes. He was a few days late than the agreed time. He didn't look very well and had an untidy beard.
