Chapter 157: Xiaoxiao's Thoughts
Recently, the brother-sister relationship of the Chu family has been greatly damaged by Chuchu's actions.
After Chufan talked with Chu Xiaoxiao last time, he always kept a certain distance from his sister, and they were no longer as close as they were when they were young.
This hit Xiaoxiao hard.
She, who always disliked doing housework, actually took the initiative to try to cook for Chufan today.
Xiaoxiao: Chuchu, do you know what you need to make rice porridge?
Chuchu: Rice.
Xiaoxiao: What else?
Chuchu: Water.
Xiaoxiao: What else?
Chuchu: Nothing.
Xiaoxiao: Hehe, you still need fire. How can you boil water to make rice porridge without fire?
Chuchu: ...
Cooking porridge requires water, and water needs to be drawn from the well. Drawing water is a laborious task for ordinary women, but it is easy for Chu Xiaoxiao, who is the best martial artist in the world.
Xiaoxiao came to the well with a wooden bucket and put it aside. Then she walked to the well alone. She did not shake the windlass to roll up the rope and lift the bucket from the well. Instead, she directly grabbed the rope hanging in the well with her hands.
In terms of body alone, Chu Xiaoxiao was just a weak woman, but if she added internal strength, the result would be completely different.
The extremely pure internal strength flowed from Dantian along the meridians to the whole body, and then gathered in her slender arms and hands.
The bucket filled with well water was easily lifted up by her, and then she held it and poured it into the wooden barrel.
After pouring the water, she threw the bucket back into the well with a flick of her hand, making a splashing sound of wood falling into the water.
She took the water, poured it into the pot, and then grabbed a handful of white rice and threw it in.
After clapping her hands, Xiaoxiao proudly put her hands on her waist.
Xiaoxiao: Chuchu, is this okay?
Chuchu: Yes.
When Chu Fan was around, Chu Fan was the one who cooked in the Chu family. If Chu Fan is not around, Chu Chu will do it.
Xiao Xiao did not understand why Chu Chu likes to cook, until she noticed Chu Chu's skilled knife skills, she understood that Chu Chu did not like to cook, but liked to chop vegetables.
So, even though Chu Chu's knife skills are good, because she does not focus on cooking, the taste of the food she cooks is often hard to describe.
The original mentality is: just make do with it. Anyway, she cooks and eats by herself, and it is not me, Xiao Xiao, who eats for her.
But now it is not possible.
Recently, the relationship between the brother and sister has been in trouble, and Xiao Xiao decided to take action, first to capture her brother's stomach, and then to capture her brother's heart!
After preparing water and rice, the next step is of course to make a fire.
Xiao Xiao stuffed a few firewood into the bottom of the stove, lit it with a fire starter, and then sat in front of the stove with peace of mind.
After a while, black smoke came out from the bottom of the stove.
Xiao Xiao: Chu Chu, what's the matter with this smoke?
Chu Chu: It should be wet firewood.
Xiao Xiao: What should I do? Chu Chu save me!
Chuchu didn't want to pay attention to her, so she said: There's no way. I suggest you buy a bowl of porridge.
Xiaoxiao: How can this be! I want to cook for my brother myself!
Chuchu wanted to say, don't make things difficult for Chufan. But she changed her mind and thought, what does Chufan have to do with me? It's boring. So she completely ignored Xiaoxiao and entered a semi-dormant state.
Xiaoxiao couldn't get a reply from Chuchu, and she was so anxious that she scolded her several times in her heart, but it didn't help.
She was so angry about the black smoke that she immediately used her internal force to block the stove. This trick was quite effective, and the black smoke really stopped coming out!
Even the fire was not very strong.
In the end, I don't know why it went out by itself.
Xiaoxiao looked at the wood that had not been burned yet, thinking.
Usually, watching her brother, Chuchu, and even He Yunxiao cook, it feels so simple, but when you really do it yourself, you will always encounter many strange problems.
For example, this fire, why did it go out? The wood is not even completely burned.
Xiaoxiao stood up from the small stool in front of the stove and lifted the lid of the pot. The hot steam immediately hit her face, making her squint her eyes.
There is steam! Just like the rice cooked by Chuchu!
She tasted it with a spoon.
It is very hot! Just like the rice cooked by Chuchu!
Xiaoxiao covered the pot again, smiling, thinking that cooking is just like this, and it is not difficult at all.
Just at this time, Chu Fan came back.
Xiaoxiao ran out as if to ask for credit, and said: "Brother! Do you want to eat? I cooked!"
Chu Fan had just eaten with He Yunxiao at Chunyulin Restaurant, so he was not hungry, but seeing his sister's expectant eyes, he still said: "Well, give me a bowl."
"Okay!"
Xiaoxiao immediately took out a large bowl, filled a bowl of rice porridge for Chu Fan, and then brought it to the dining table in the living room.
Chu Fan looked at the porridge and swallowed his saliva in embarrassment. The water and rice in this porridge are separated, the water is clear soup, and the rice is not cooked. Looking at Xiaoxiao again, he sighed in his heart.
Brother He, I will wrong you in the future.
Although the rice is not cooked, it is at least something people eat. Chu Fan suffered when he was a child, and he didn't think anything of this uncooked rice. In front of Chu Xiaoxiao, he ate it in a daze.
Xiaoxiao watched her brother eat sweetly, and her heart became happier. She understood why some people like to cook. Watching others feasting, people who love cooking are really full of sense of accomplishment.
"Brother, Xiaoxiao will help you get another bowl."
"No, don't! I won't eat anymore."
Chu Fan quickly refused.
Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "Brother, you usually eat several bowls."
Chu Fan chewed the hard rice in his mouth and explained: "I met Brother He on the street today. He treated me to a meal. I'm not hungry, so I'll eat one bowl."
Xiao Xiao widened her eyes and clenched her fists secretly.
Damn He Yunxiao! Not only did he snatch Chu Chu away, but he also made my brother unable to eat the food Xiao Xiao made! If I didn't need your help to deal with the bad woman, I would have...
Chu Fan thought of what he saw Fan Ziruo today, and thought about his sister's attitude towards He Yunxiao, so he asked tentatively: "Xiao Xiao, you have been studying in the study these days. What do you think of He Yunxiao?"
Xiao Xiao thought to herself: What do you think? If Chu Chu didn't agree, I would have killed him.
Xiao Xiao has always been distressed that Chu Fan misunderstood her relationship with He Yunxiao. Now, in order to explain it clearly, she didn't hide it at all, and even exaggerated it and said: "He Yunxiao is not a good person at all. He looks average and has bad character. He is also a playboy everywhere. There is no need for him to live. It's better to die early and be reborn early."
When Chu Fan heard Xiao Xiao say this, he understood what she meant.
They had a quarrel.
He Yunxiao had been watching him all along. Apart from anything else, Brother He's appearance and character were both first-class. And although Brother He had a bad reputation, he had to do it to tarnish the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion.
He was a hero among men.
Not to mention that Brother He was an extraordinary martial artist and had literary talent. He was even the top scholar among heroes.
Xiaoxiao said so outrageously, she must have had a quarrel with He Yunxiao.
Chu Fan originally thought about Fan Ziruo, but he gave up. It was not good to talk about other girls without evidence.
Chu Fan just pointed out: "Xiaoxiao, Brother He Yunxiao also knows him. How can he be as bad as you said? What's more, Brother He is quite popular with other girls. If you always quarrel with him, you will miss the opportunity. In the end, even if Brother has a good relationship with him, he can't help you."
Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes were stern: "Who likes it?"
Chu Fan:?
"Xiaoxiao?"
"Ah, it's okay. Brother, let's not talk about him. Um... Is the food Xiaoxiao cooked delicious?"
Chu Fan scratched his head.
"Um... Can we not talk about this..."
