Discussing the separation of the family (3)

"My dear, just agree. Just like Mei Hua said, as long as two people are of one mind, life will always get better and better."

Liu Meihua's mother finally nodded in agreement after hearing Liu Meihua's father's words.

"Zhang Xu, I'm back." Lu Xiaoxiao shouted towards the main room as soon as she entered the courtyard.

"Is it cold?" Zhang Xu opened the door of the hall and asked her after hearing the little girl's voice.

“I’m moving around all the time, so I’m not cold.”

"Then go inside now while your body is warm, so you won't catch a cold easily."

"good."

"Drink water." Zhang Xu poured a glass of warm water for the little girl after he saw her sitting on the kang.

Lu Xiaoxiao took a sip of the water Zhang Xu poured for her and asked Zhang Xu, "Is the radish and beef bone soup in the pot ready?"

"It's ready, but I didn't add any salt."

"I'm going to add salt now, and then I'll cook another pot of rice. We'll have rice with beef bone soup in the evening."

"You can rest for a while before going, don't be in a hurry." Zhang Xu said after hearing what the little girl said.

"I'm not tired. I didn't do anything when I went to Liu Meihua's house, I just watched a play."

After Zhang Xu heard what the little girl said, he didn't stop her anymore, but he followed the little girl towards the kitchen.

Lu Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the pot and added a spoonful of salt to the soup, stirred it a few times with a hot spoon, and then planned to turn on the fire and let the soup boil for a few minutes. But as soon as she closed the lid of the pot, she saw Zhang Xu sat behind the stove and lit the fire.

"Zhang Xu, why did you come here to light the fire? What if you get injured?" Lu Xiaoxiao walked up to Zhang Xu and snatched the tongs from his hand.

"My wounds have healed. As long as I don't do heavy work or strenuous exercise, I'll be fine."

"Really?" Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Xu with suspicion and asked.

"It's true. If you don't believe it, I'll show you the wound right now." Zhang Xu said helplessly after looking at the little girl.

"Then unbutton your clothes and let me take a look at your wounds."

Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment when he heard what the little girl said. He didn't expect that the little girl really wanted to look at his wounds.

"What are you still doing? Unbutton it quickly." Lu Xiaoxiao urged Zhang Xu.

"I'll unbutton it now." After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he immediately reached out and unbuttoned his shirt.

Lu Xiaoxiao stepped forward to check the wound after Zhang Xu unbuttoned it. She found that the recovery of the wound was as expected from Zhang Xu, so she handed the tongs to Zhang Xu and said, "Let's light the fire."

Zhang Xu took the tongs handed to him by the little girl and pulled down the corner of his mouth helplessly. Then he put the tongs on the ground and quickly buttoned his clothes, then picked up the tongs on the ground and started lighting the fire.

After Lu Xiaoxiao asked Zhang Xu to light the fire, she took about a pound of rice from the cupboard, washed it and soaked it in water. When the radish and beef bone soup in the pot was ready, she scooped up the soup and put the soaked rice into the pot. Put the rice into the pot and steam it.

"Zhang Xu, look at the rice in the pot. I will send half of the radish and beef bone soup to the cowshed for the master." Lu Xiaoxiao said to Zhang Xu after steaming the rice.

"good."

When Lu Xiaoxiao carried the basket to the cowshed, she saw that there was no light in the room. She thought something had happened to the masters, so she quickly knocked on the door of the cowshed: "Is anyone there?"

"Why are you here?" General Xie opened the door and saw Xiao Yatou standing outside the door, so he asked.

"Second Master, let me enter the room first." Lu Xiaoxiao said to General Xie.
