Zhu Yuanyuan's heart felt cold. The trials of the three people made her understand the cruelty of reality.
She tried hard to guide the family relationship into the familiar pattern in her previous life, but failed in the end.
Time is like a butcher's knife. As she grows up, her father and mother seem to have completed their mission, and their love for her becomes less and less. When her father proposes to live separately to let her be independent, the big family breaks up at the speed of light. ..
Fortunately, I have been used to seeing my friends move out of the house and become independent as adults over the years. Although I feel disappointed, I can accept it calmly. I can even send my parents out with a smile after dinner.
"Have a good rest at night and don't wander around in the tribe," Zhu's father told him, "and don't let some brat come in. You have just grown up, so there is no rush to hold a ceremony."
Adult orcs still have the bestial nature left in their bones, and spring has not yet passed. Although the restlessness from the depths of the soul can be controlled, it also gives people a reason to indulge.
Dad Zhu was in his prime, so he happily decided to move back to his old cave with his companions because of this consideration.
Zhu Yuanyuan scratched her head, "If you don't feel confident, don't move~"
She didn't understand the pain in her old father's heart, and he was still making his final struggle.
Dad Zhu lowered the corners of his mouth, took his companion's hand and said decisively, "Let's go!"
Zhu Aniang smiled softly, "Okay."
Seeing his father and mother leaving together without reluctance or looking back, Zhu Yuanyuan gave up and closed the door with her hand, filled with melancholy, "I am the only one left~"
This must be a day that left a deep impression on her and will be unforgettable for a long time. She decided to take a flower petal bath to relax, go to bed early, and prepare something delicious for herself tomorrow.
At dawn the next day, Zhu Yuanyuan got up from the kang, took a small stone pot and cooked a bowl of snail noodles for herself.
It smelled bad, but tasted delicious when eaten. It was eaten with happy water. The long-lost deliciousness made her feel happy.
Living with a large family is very lively, but it is inconvenient to eat alone. Even if the family is not around during the day, it is embarrassing to eat. Now that the families are independent and everyone eats their own food, eating alone seems to have become a matter of course, and there is no inexplicable guilt anymore.
"Actually, it's good to live alone," Zhu Yuanyuan comforted herself.
After the meal, I put away the pots and pans, cleaned up, rinsed my mouth and face, and went out in high spirits.
She originally wanted to go to the roof to absorb the essence of the sun, but there were still patients waiting at Master's house. Uncle Yuan probably didn't sleep well last night, so she couldn't go too late.
Zhu Yuanyuan guessed very accurately. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Tu Yuan, who had dark circles under his eyes, grilling meat, while Zhu He, who was injured, was lying on his side facing the stove and muttered, "Hurry up, I'm hungry, silly girl, I'm cruel." If you don’t give me food, don’t imitate her.”
You didn't even do your homework and came here just to get scolded?
Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't stand this anger and immediately said, "It's my fault for not letting Grandpa He eat enough last night. I will steam two pots of meatloaf to make amends to you later. I promise they will all be yours."
"Why are you here so early?" Zhu He blurted out.
"How rare, there are injuries here, how can I still stay at home?" Zhu Yuanyuan said coolly.
Zhu He laughed dryly, "Since Xiao Yuan is here, you can come later."
"Uncle Yuan is clearing land and growing medicinal materials during the day, and he has to take care of you here at night. He is already very tired," Zhu Yuanyuan said.
There was nothing wrong with this, but Zhu He was speechless.
However, Tu Yuan took the initiative to smooth things over, "I slept soundly last night and didn't feel tired."
It doesn't matter if he is tired. After all, the rabbit orc who was caught for being lazy was also the rabbit orc who stabbed Zhu He. The Feihu and black pig orcs were afraid that their favor towards the rabbit orc would plummet, so he thought maybe he could take good care of him. Make up for one or two.
"Uncle Yuan, you have dark circles under your eyes," Zhu Yuanyuan said bluntly, "You are tired just because you are tired, there is no need to show off."
Tsk tsk, the orcs are so simple that they don’t even know how to take credit.
Tu Yuan showed an honest smile, "It's okay, I'm used to it, I'll just wait until I'm done."
"What are you busy with?" Zhu He chased people away with a straight face, "Go back to bed quickly. There are silly girls here, so I won't be hungry."
Zhu Yuanyuan secretly clicked her tongue. She was inconsistent, wasn't she?
Forget it, for the sake of Grandpa He's age, she won't expose it, lest anyone get angry and insist on competing for food.
It's impossible to steam meatloaf in two pots. Chopping meat is too tiring, especially if you don't have a kitchen knife handy. Chopping in one pot is the limit.
Besides, I can't eat so much meat lying down, and it's not easy to digest, so I have to eat less.
You have to have a good breakfast. Steamed meatloaf with a pot of wild vegetable and egg drop soup is very nutritious. If it weren't for their good relationship, she would really be reluctant to give out the wild vegetables.
Zhu Yuanyuan felt extremely distressed, but the beneficiary still yelled and refused to eat grass.
"I am a male, how can I get used to eating grass," Zhu He curled his lips and said, "throw it away quickly, don't turn off my appetite."
Zhu Yuanyuan would not be polite without a third person present, "If you want to eat, you can eat it. If you don't want to eat it, I will take it to the orphan cave. The cubs will definitely not dislike it."
She didn't just talk, she also reached for the pot full of steamed meat patties, as if giving away all the food.
Zhu He immediately gave in, "No, put it down quickly, I'm just eating wild grass soup."
"I said it's a wild vegetable, not a weed," Zhu Yuanyuan corrected.
"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing," Zhu He was very good at admitting his mistake. He had lost his temper.
Silly girl is not a person who likes to reason. He should calm down and wait until the injury heals, otherwise the medicine he drinks every day may become more bitter.
It has to be said that Zhu He knew Zhu Yuanyuan very well. Not long after breakfast, he drank the upgraded version of the medicine (with coptis liane). His old face wrinkled into chrysanthemums in pain, and he almost vomited out the steamed meat cake he had eaten.
"you you you……"
"Grandpa He is too angry, I will bring down the fire for you," Zhu Yuanyuan was very considerate.
"No need," Zhu He said aggrievedly, "I feel uncomfortable lying down all over. I just want to eat a few pieces of barbecue to be happy. Why am I so angry?"
Zhu Yuanyuan curled her big eyes and reminded, "Think again."
Zhu He thought about how he was angry last night and deliberately tormented Tu Yuan to pour water and help him to the latrine. His voice was a little softer unconsciously, "Actually, it's okay not to eat the barbecue. Yesterday's steamed meat cakes tasted okay."
"Forget it, Grandpa He doesn't want to eat steamed meat cakes, so don't force him," Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly transformed into a considerate little girl, "I'll give you a big piece of meat for lunch."
Zhu He's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Of course," Zhu Yuanyuan said seriously, "I never lie to others."
After receiving the correct answer, Zhu He was full of expectations. He no longer felt uncomfortable lying in bed all the time. He closed his eyes and tried to get sleepy. After a few minutes, he began to snore happily.
Zhu Yuanyuan finished what she had to do, and then brought half a bag of chestnuts from home to shell them. For lunch, she stewed the chestnuts with large pieces of exotic animal meat, added some spices and salt, and it tasted great.
Zhu He woke up and was a little disappointed to see that it was not barbecue, but the moment the stewed meat entered his mouth, he realized, "It's delicious! Let's have another pot!"
"No," Zhu Yuanyuan refused, "It's hard to digest while lying down, and it's not good to eat too much meat. You can drink some wild vegetable and egg drop soup."
"I don't want to drink it. It doesn't taste like meat." Zhu He wrinkled his nose and eyes in disgust, "Only females like to eat grass."
Zhu Yuanyuan wanted to overturn the table without being so sexist.
