across mountains and seas

A quiet night.

Shen Jiangli took care of Chu Xi and Xue Qingxian all night. When the morning sun fell through the panes, she touched her stomach and felt a little hungry.

Suddenly, her nostrils moved slightly, as if she smelled something?

"Sister, sister!" Shen Jiangli excitedly jumped behind the door and opened it, just in time to see Liu Xi holding lotus seed porridge, and smiled at her.

"Is the girl hungry?"

Shen Jiangli nodded heavily, happily took the lotus seed porridge from Liu Xi's hand, put it on the table, and sat down with Liu Xi.She scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and fed it to Liu Xi first, "First, eat."

Liu Xi smiled and said, "Sister, you can eat, there is still in the kitchen, I will eat later when I go back."

Shen Jiangli blinked, and ate the spoonful of lotus seed porridge in one gulp, but frowned, "It's so sweet."

"I said it was sweet, but Ah Lan said it was delicious." Liu Xi recalled Jing Lan's expression today, and always felt that she was hiding something, "Something is wrong."

Shen Jiangli said seriously: "Where?"

"Sister eat slowly, I'll go and see, what kind of medicine is she selling in her gourd?" Liu Xi stroked the back of Shen Jiangli's head lightly, said softly, got up and left the room.

Shen Jiangli looked down at the lotus seed porridge, no, she has to follow her sister, in case her sister is bullied again.With this in mind, Shen Jiangli left the room, quietly followed Liu Xi, and returned to the kitchen.

At this time, Jing Lan was no longer in the kitchen.

Liu Xi glanced into the stone pot, and found that the lotus seed porridge in the stone pot was a little less, she suddenly laughed lightly, and couldn't help muttering: "Damn girl!"

Yes, now this dead girl came to Aunt Hong's room with hot lotus seed porridge.

The little baby Wei Lei came to Xiyang City for the first time, and he couldn't see anyone he knew well at night, so he cried loudly all night.Aunt Hong stayed up almost all night and coaxed the little baby all night.

Jing Lan was standing outside the door with lotus seed porridge when she heard Aunt Hong's voice.

"Don't cry, don't cry." The voice was gentle, and Aunt Hong was always the softest one.

Jing Lan smiled dumbly, and knocked on the door.

Aunt Hong hurriedly asked, "Who?"

"Mother, it's me." Jing Lan said softly.

Aunt Hong frowned, she didn't expect that it was Xiao Wu who came here first this morning, and she didn't expect that Xiao Wu was still calling her mother.

Jing Lan didn't hear Aunt Hong's response, so Jing Lan knocked twice more.

Aunt Hong knew that she couldn't avoid it, so she had no choice but to hold Wei Lei and approached the door, opened the door latch, and pretended to be indifferent: "What's the matter?"

Jing Lan pushed open the door gently with her elbow, brought the lotus seed porridge into the room, and placed it respectfully on the table.

The fragrance of lotus seed porridge entered Aunt Hong's nostrils. At first she didn't feel hungry, but when she smelled it, her stomach gurgled.

"Mother, sit down." Jing Lan enthusiastically pulled Aunt Hong to sit down, scooped up a spoonful of lotus seed porridge, blew on it, and fed it to Aunt Hong, "Taste it."

Aunt Hong frowned at her, "You should call me Aunt Hong."

"In my heart, you are no longer Aunt Hong." Jing Lan looked at her eyebrows sincerely, "Have a taste, okay?"

Aunt Hong said solemnly: "No one can replace anyone, do you understand?"

"Understood." Jing Lan smiled, "It's just that I'm greedy and want to have two mothers." As she said that, Jing Lan brought the spoon to Aunt Hong's lips and brought it closer, "Eating it while it's hot makes it delicious. Told me."

Aunt Hong rolled her eyes, "Who taught you to do this?"

"Mother, what you said is hurtful." Jing Lan pretended to be wronged, "Can't I feel sorry for you?"

Aunt Hong was at a loss for words, she just felt that the words were too heavy.

"Could it be that because you taught me a few words, should I remember to hate you for the rest of my life?" Jing Lan asked again.

Aunt Hong coughed twice.

Jing Lan asked in a deep voice, "We are a family, aren't we?"

Aunt Hong nodded.

"A lot of people love you, isn't it good?" Jing Lan asked again.

Aunt Hong stared at her blankly, not knowing which one of the many "people" she was referring to?

"Taste it." Jing Lan offered another courteousness with a smile.

Aunt Hong couldn't hold her back, so she had to open her mouth to drink the spoonful of lotus seed porridge.It is sweet in the mouth, and the sweetness is her favorite level of sweetness. Others will find it sweet, but it is just right for her.

The taste of this porridge is very familiar, as long as Aunt Hong thinks about it for a while, she can guess who made it?She thought that she had taken a step back by keeping Liu Xi yesterday, and that Liu Xi had taken the initiative to take a step back today by borrowing Jing Lan's hand to show her favor.

In the final analysis, Liu Xi never seduced Jing Tan, and all disasters started from "wishful thinking".What she said yesterday is indeed exaggerated.

Aunt Hong had mixed feelings, "You really...you must have her?"

"Mother, if I were to choose you again, you know that your father already has a regular wife, would you still marry your father as your aunt?" Jing Lan asked Aunt Hong.

Aunt Hong's face darkened, "These are two things."

"It's one thing." Jing Lan lowered her head and scooped up another spoonful of lotus seed porridge, "You and Daddy met each other in Jianghu and cherished each other between life and death, if you didn't love Daddy so much, how could you let go of your pride and be willing to be a child? "As she said, she blew on the lotus seed porridge and fed it to Aunt Hong, "You don't fight or grab, it doesn't mean you don't feel wronged, on the contrary, because of your tolerance, my brothers and I can be close, and Haicheng can become our best friend. warm home."

Aunt Hong listened quietly, and took another mouthful of the lotus seed porridge Jing Lan fed her.

"You are so kind, is Daddy willing not to give you a home?" Jing Lan asked warmly.

Aunt Hong's nose was slightly sour, and she didn't know whether Jing Lan was talking about her or Liu Xi?

Jing Lan said sincerely: "Mother, the Xishan Liu family is gone, she is homeless, even if it is a stranger, we don't ask for help, and we can't make trouble, right?"

"Alas..." Aunt Hong sighed deeply.

Jing Lan put down the lotus seed porridge, got up and walked behind Aunt Hong, gently pinched Aunt Hong's shoulders, and said seriously: "I really want her, she promises me a deep love, and I will return her. Daddy is like this, That's what I do."

How could Aunt Hong speak of Jing Lan? In fact, she had already begun to regret it, but her affection for Jing Tan was so deep that she couldn't let it go for a while.

Xi'er is good, she knows better than anyone else.Since she married into the Jing family, Aunt Hong has seen herself in her, otherwise how could she cherish this girl from the bottom of her heart?

Aunt Hong sighed again, then turned her head and glared at Jing Lan, "That's all you think about before the ceremony!"

Jing Lan lowered her face, turned her left ear to Aunt Hong, "I know I was wrong, mother, you can teach me a lesson."

Looking at her side face, Aunt Hong felt a little dazed. The youngest son of the Jing family has already opened his eyebrows and eyes. Although he couldn't tell whether he looked more like Jing Xiaohai or Su Rou, the look between her eyebrows Shen Yun is exactly the same as Jing Xiaohai when he was young.

"Go, go, Lei'er finally fell asleep, don't wake him up." Aunt Hong signaled Jing Lan to go away, "Go ahead and stop hanging around in front of me, I'm upset."

Jing Lan knows Aunt Hong's heart best. Sometimes she is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Jing Lan is at ease when she can say such things.

"Okay, I'll listen to my mother." Jing Lan answered simply, and after walking out of the door respectfully, she turned her head and smiled, "Mother, the porridge is made by the brook before dawn. Eat it while it's hot."

"Still leaving?" Aunt Hong gave Jing Lan a hard look.

Jing Lan smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll go!" She gently closed the door and closed it, and when she turned her head, she saw two familiar figures.

Liu Xi has always been smart, Jing Lan knew that she would not be able to hide it from her.

Liu Xi smiled meaningfully, pulled Shen Jiangli away and said, "Sister, let's go."

"Go, go!" Shen Jiangli tightened Liu Xi's grip, followed Liu Xi for two steps, and quietly waved at Jing Lan with his backhand, motioning for her to follow.

Jing Lan suppressed a smile and followed, "Xi'er, wait for me!"

Not far away, Jing Yuan and Jin Lingdang who were carrying breakfast looked at each other and smiled, seeing Liu Xi and Jing Lan coming out of Aunt Hong's small courtyard together, it seemed that these two must have brought breakfast.

"We seem to be a step behind." Jin Lingdang chuckled.

Jing Yuan smiled, "These two people have such clever minds, they must be able to think of ways to make mother happy."

The two looked at each other and smiled lightly. Now that Aunt Hong's breakfast has been settled, he and she can go back and take a rest for a while, and then continue their night watch at night.

They were all in pairs, and Jing Huan suddenly felt empty in his heart.

In the past, he could drag Xiao Wu to accompany him crazy, but now Xiao Wu is busy coaxing Sister Baili, Sister Shen is inseparable from Sister Baili, and Third Brother and Sister Jin are as close as glue.

Jing Huan smiled bitterly, it seemed that he was the only one in this family and no one loved him.

"Ugh……"

Let's say that Jing Lan followed Liu Xi back to the kitchen, Liu Xi pointed to the leftover porridge in the stone pot, "A Lan, you are dishonest."

"Xi'er is not upset." Jing Lan picked up the bowl and scooped up the bowl, "I drank the rest!"

Liu Xi pressed her hand, "Obviously Aunt Hong likes to drink."

"I like drinking too, I didn't lie to you." Jing Lan said with a smile, then said softly, "As long as it's made by Xi'er...I like it!"

"Slick tongue." Liu Xi suppressed a smile and twisted the back of her hand.

Jing Lan let her twist, and when she let go, she put down the bowl, held hers with both hands, and said warmly, "I'm just afraid that you will be wronged." As she spoke, she smiled warmly, "Being sincere, you can always Keep it so that the clouds will open and the moon will shine."

The corners of Liu Xi's lips raised slightly, "May I ask what else the governor wants to eat tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow..." Jing Lan pretended to be in deep thought.

"Bao, son!" Shen Jiangli answered loudly, put down the empty bowl in his hand, and licked the corner of his lips.

Liu Xi smiled deeply, "Okay, let's make buns."

Jing Lan couldn't laugh anymore, she glanced into the stone pot, "Sister Shen, you finished all the porridge Xi'er made for me, what should I do?"

Shen Jiangli touched his stomach, "Still, hungry!"

"Xi'er..." Jing Lan looked at Liu Xi aggrievedly.

"Sister, sister." Shen Jiangli also looked at Liu Xi aggrievedly.

Liu Xi couldn't help laughing, and one of them scratched the tip of his nose, "Two greedy cats, are you trying to exhaust me to death?"

"I can help!" Jing Lan rolled up her sleeves.

Shen Jiangli also rolled up his sleeves, "Yeah, come!"

Liu Xi looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, "Alan, go and kill the fish, sister, go make noodles..."

"Fish, meat!" Shen Jiangli's eyes sparkled, excitedly said, "Bao, son!"

"Sister Shen, you know Baozi..." Jing Lan muttered softly.

"Okay, eat!" Shen Jiangli couldn't help swallowing when he thought of the delicious taste.

Liu Xi snickered and looked at Jing Lan, "The buns are pretty good, I didn't finish kneading them last time, so I can knead them properly this time."

Jing Lan felt her ears burn, knowing that Liu Xi had something else to say, but she couldn't expose her, so she could only stare at Liu Xi in embarrassment and annoyance, "I'll pinch it too!"

Liu Xi couldn't help laughing.

Shen Jiangli tilted his head to look at Liu Xi, "Sister, sister?"

"Don't worry, she can eat it by herself."

Hearing this sentence, Jing Lan didn't know whether it was because the kitchen was too hot, or because she thought of some beautiful pictures, but felt her cheeks burning hot.

"Xi'er, you have to keep your word."
