Chapter 342 Real World (7)
The next morning, sunlight poured into the house through the window. If the entire third floor was not equipped with a temperature control system, the high summer temperature would have heated Ji Xiao up.
However, except for the younger cousin and the elders at home, everyone else was still immersed in a sweet dream, and Ji Xiao was no exception. It was not until the sun was high in the sky that Ji Xiao woke up slowly.
Ji Xiao rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and walked out of the room slowly. She saw Fu Shiqi sitting quietly on the sofa under the living room window reading a book.
Ji Xiao stretched, then walked leisurely to the water dispenser and poured herself a glass of warm water.
Then, she came and sat down opposite Fu Shiqi and asked, "Why did you get up so early? Have you eaten? And do you know why you are so quiet?"
Fu Shiqi smiled and replied, "Well, I've eaten. It's late now. It's almost afternoon. You know, your aunt took your two cousins home after lunch."
Ji Xiao looked at the time in surprise, then realized that she had slept too long.
She smiled and said, "Okay, then forget about them. It's comfortable at home. I can sleep in as much as I want."
Fu Shiqi nodded in agreement, "Yes, uncle and aunt are very considerate, they won't rush us to get up for dinner or anything like that." Ji Xiao nodded and said, "Yeah, that's right. After all, since we graduated from college, no one will rush us no matter how late we go to bed or get up when we get home."
She drank the water in the cup, then stood up and said to Fu Shiqi, "Let's go downstairs. I'm almost starving."
Fu Shiqi responded, put the book in his hand on the table, stood up and followed Ji Xiao downstairs.
The two of them arrived at the restaurant on the first floor and just entered the kitchen when others came in one after another and asked weakly, "Is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."
Ji Xiao shook her head and said, "I don't know. We just came in." Then she walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, looked it up and down, and finally took out two boxes of frozen wontons.
She turned around to look at everyone and asked with a smile, "How about eating wonton?"
"Sure!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
So, Ji Xiao put the dumplings into the pot and started cooking the wontons.
While waiting for the wonton to be cooked, everyone started chatting.
Ji Xiao took advantage of this time to prepare a few bowls of soup and quickly stir-fried some beef.
At this time, my cousin looked at the full bowl of whistles and suggested: "Why don't we cook some rice noodles to mix with it?"
Xiao Rui immediately agreed, "Okay, okay. But I don't think we have rice noodles at home."
Ozawa: "It's okay, I'll go to Mi Xian's shop and buy some." After saying that, he walked out the door.
Xiaoli: "Then go quickly, I'll go to the field to pick some onions."
Qiqi: "I saw that mom also cooked red bean and pickled cabbage soup, which goes perfectly with rice noodles."
Ji Xiao: "Okay then, I'll boil some more water, and I'll scoop up the wonton and put it aside so we can eat dumplings and rice noodles later."
Fu Shiqi stood aside and watched the siblings change their lunch so quickly. He was also very curious. After all, he had never seen such a family before. There were more than ten or twenty people in the family, all eating together.
Everyone has the same arrangement for a meal. It can only be said that he is surprised by what he has seen. This is how Ji Xiao's family is. When they get together, they just eat and drink, and they never stop talking.
This is because after Ji Xiao's secret conditioning, their family members have become people who are not afraid of gaining weight no matter how much they eat. Otherwise, it would be strange if they did not gain weight if they continued to eat like this.
However, because there are so many family members, according to past experience, eating and drinking like this for half a month will definitely lead to a weight gain of more than ten pounds.
But now, since there are so many people eating, the food is distributed evenly to everyone, and it is good enough to be able to eat enough.
Xiaoze quickly bought back the rice noodles, and Xiaoli also picked back the onions.
Ji Xiao boiled the water, cooked the rice noodles and put them into everyone's bowl. Then she put the previously cooked wontons into everyone's bowl.
Then she cut the washed onions into chopped green onions and put them in a bowl for later use. Then everyone added seasonings according to their tastes, sat together, and began to enjoy this late lunch.
Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Ji Xiao noticed that Fu Shiqi ate very little, so she asked curiously, "Is it not to your liking?"
Fu Shiqi shook her head and said with a smile: "No, it's delicious. It's just that I had lunch with my aunt and the others at noon, so I'm not very hungry now. But it's delicious! This is the first time I've eaten like this."
Ji Xiao heard this and showed a hint of pride on her face: "Of course, this is our family's specialty. I learned it from my mom. We used to sell breakfast this way in our breakfast shop and our business was very good."
Fu Shiqi looked at Ji Xiao, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "So it's your family's specialty, no wonder it's so delicious. Auntie's cooking skills are really good, yesterday's lunch was delicious."
Ji Xiao nodded, with a happy light in her eyes: "Yes, the food my mother cooks is very delicious. So when I have time, I will go home and stay for a while, hehe."
Fu Shiqi continued to ask: "Auntie, is she still running a breakfast shop now?"
Ji Xiao smiled and said, "No, it has not been opened since my sister and I graduated. Her health was not good in the past two years, but fortunately she is well now. At that time, I couldn't feel at ease when I was working outside."
Hearing this, Fu Shiqi touched Ji Xiao's head and sighed, "It is indeed true. While parents are concerned about their children, children are also concerned about their parents."
Ji Xiao gently slapped his hand away and said with a smile: "Hey, don't touch my head, it won't grow taller."
Fu Shiqi raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said softly: "You are already tall enough. If you grow any taller, you will be taller than me. You should leave me some room to live."
Ji Xiao glared at him and said coquettishly, "Humph, how can a girl think she is too tall? Besides, I am only about 1 meters tall."
Fu Shiqi quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I just think you're just right now. If you're too short, I'd worry that you'd be bullied. If you're too tall, it would look too abrupt."
Ji Xiao laughed out loud at his amusement: "What kind of logic is this? Don't worry, I've been the only one who bullies others since I was a child. No one has ever bullied me. I have many brothers and cousins. But you, don't always look like an old cadre, smile more, like now."
Fu Shiqi sighed helplessly: "I have been like this since I was a child. It is difficult to change. Many characters are like this. I have become like this over time."
Ji Xiao blinked and smiled mischievously: "It's okay, you will change. It's hard not to laugh in my house, but I like it anyway."
The person who said it didn't think anything of it, but the person who heard it felt shy. Fu Shiqi blushed slightly and muttered in a low voice: "As long as you like it."
Ji Xiao seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, do you usually have a regular schedule?"
Fu Shiqi nodded: "Well, I usually go to bed around ten o'clock at night and get up at seven in the morning."
Ji Xiao opened her mouth in surprise: "Wow, you are simply an old cadre! But you rested at the same time as me last night, and you got up so early today, do you want to take a nap later?"
"No, I'm not sleepy. Besides, I'm used to it. I sometimes stay up all night when I work." Fu Shiqi replied.
"Okay." Ji Xiao nodded to show her understanding.
Then she turned around and continued chatting with others, no longer paying attention to whether Fu Shiqi needed to rest.
