Night gradually fell, and the scorching sun disappeared under the Kunlun Mountains.

Located in the western border of Great Xia, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and after the sunlight completely disappears, bursts of cold fog float out from the pine forests in all directions, enveloping the entire town, but at this time, it is also the time when the smoke and fire in Yaxia Town are the strongest, because every household is in full swing to eat.

The house where You Tingjian's family lives in Yaxia Town is located in the relatively remote depths of the town, and there are not many people around.

Although compared to the huge area of the Youfu Mansion in Liuye Lane, Shenjing City, this cottage in Bingzhou can basically be said to be insignificant, but after several months of repair, this small courtyard looks simple and warm, and even uses vines to weave a small swing in the yard, which has a unique style.

In the kitchen in the courtyard of You Tingjian's house, there are quite a lot of people at this time, and it is extremely lively, and the fragrance of the food and the residual temperature of the stove make the room extremely warm.

Mrs. You, who was dressed in simple coarse cotton clothes, was in front of the stove, holding a shovel to bring out the colorful and fragrant dishes in the pot, and then said softly:

"Rui'er, you put a little bit of vegetables, send a little to the girl next door and her mother, today I see this little girl digging wild vegetables in the field after getting out of school, it's so pitiful. ”

In the kitchen, the green-clothed girl who was originally sitting and waiting nodded, and just wanted to get up, but heard a clear voice sound first:

"Auntie, I'm coming, it's cold outside, and I'm wearing a lot. ”

After finishing speaking, Sima Annan got up directly and stepped forward, came to the stove in three or two steps, loaded the dishes very smoothly, and walked out of the kitchen door after a light mention.

Then Mrs. You turned around and glanced at You Tingjian, who was sitting upright in the kitchen, with a strange expression and said meaningfully:

"This Sima Gongzi is really lively, Rui'er, are you right?"

"Mother, he just hangs around all day long, and he doesn't have a proper line. ”

The girl You Rui'er responded softly, and then she turned around and sat next to You Tingjian, raised her hand to support her cheeks, and continued to speak:

"And in this world, there is no one thicker than him, and he knows that he eats and drinks for nothing in our house all day long. ”

The girl's voice fell with a little dissatisfaction, and You Tingjian, who was raising his hand to drink tea next to her, paused slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and then heard a middle-aged beautiful woman's joking voice in the kitchen:

"Rui'er, you don't want to think about your naughty energy when you were in Shenjing City, running outside all day long, and now you still have the face to dislike Sima Gongzi here, I am ashamed of you. ”

"Mother!"

You Rui'er let out a low cry of dissatisfaction, and then the middle-aged beautiful woman brought all the meals to the seat, the dishes were very simple, mostly some vegetarian dishes, and the state was too remote, and the food was correspondingly simple.

Mrs. You untied her apron, and then sat down as well, and saw that You Rui'er had stretched out her chopsticks, ready to pick up vegetables, and then the former raised her eyebrows and said softly:

"Rui'er, this person hasn't arrived yet, you just move the chopsticks, why don't you know how to be polite. ”

After finishing speaking, she turned her head again, looked at You Tingjian, and continued to ask:

"Husband, didn't you invite Mr. Xinhao today?"

You Tingjian, who was sitting on the side, first nodded, and then responded:

"Invited, but Xinhao said that he was eating at our house these days, so I'm sorry, so I won't come today. ”

"I see, this kid is calm and introverted, and he is helpless in this town under the cliff, and I quite like him. ”

After the middle-aged beauty finished speaking, she looked at You Ruier on the side, trying to see some strange looks on her daughter's face, but the girl's face remained unchanged, just eating by herself.

You Rui'er bowed her head and was silent, and the family of three then fell into a slightly dull atmosphere, but with Sima Annan here, the atmosphere will never cool down.

After a while, I saw that Sima Annan had not yet returned to the kitchen, and a clear voice had come in clearly from outside:

"Auntie, Yaya and his mother have asked me to give you their full gratitude and thank you for your continued care. ”

When the voice fell, Sima Annan, who was fluttering in white, pushed the door in with a chill, then rubbed his hands, took a deep breath, and then said:

"My aunt's cooking skills are comparable to the imperial chef in the palace, and the world is delicious, so I can only come over to eat every day with a cheeky face. ”

Sima Annan's fierce praise made the middle-aged beauty at the dinner table smile, and hurriedly raised her hand to greet:

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, we all eat less, Sima Gongzi came just right, don't waste it, don't stand still, sit down and eat." ”

"Thank you, aunt, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate. ”

Sima Annan raised his hand and saluted, then sat down slowly, and heard You Rui'er's extremely subtle voice in his ears:

"Your cheeks are too thick. ”

"Each other, each other. ”

Sima Annan tilted his head slightly, and a faint voice came out, and then he picked up chopsticks, picked up a vegetable, put it in his mouth, and a low voice came out again:

"In the past few months, you were also in my house, and you couldn't get away. ”

Sima Annan's words slightly increased the force, so You Tingjian and his wife, who were not far away, happened to hear it, and the two of them instantly seemed to be immobilized and forbidden in place.

The middle-aged beauty's eyes were wide open, and she wanted to speak, but she couldn't make any sound when she got stuck in her throat.

"Stinky fortune teller, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Then You Rui'er's fair cheeks suddenly turned red, and she stretched out her hand and directly pinched the soft flesh on Sima Annan's waist, twisting it fiercely, and the latter's whole face suddenly wrinkled in one place, and under the pain, she let out a gasping sound.

In the end, You Tingjian was the first to react, frowning and speaking softly:

"Eat, eat, don't eat, this meal is cold. ”

"Yes, yes, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, after eating, Rui'er, my mother wants to have a good chat with you!"

The middle-aged beautiful woman said the two words chatting in her mouth, and specially increased the volume.

In the next quarter of an hour, the dinner ended hastily in a very strange atmosphere, and Sima Annan saw that the situation was not good, and after saluting, he fled from the kitchen.

The moon stars are scarce, the cold mist floats around, Sima Annan, who is flying in white, pushed the door and walked out of the You family's house, and after stepping out, his handsome face returned to confidence and calmness, and then he raised his head slightly, looked ahead, and his voice came out faintly:

"Shizun once told me that those of us who compete with the Great Dao must be thick-skinned, otherwise people will ignore you, and I now find that pursuing girls seems to be the same thing. ”
