Chapter 7.1

Hu YuJiao spoke and prepared to go over to take the peach wood in Chi YunChen’s hand.

Chi YunChen turned his body to quickly avoid her hand.

His voice was cold and he said to her with one word: “No!”

Hu YuJiao: “……”

She clenched her fingers into fists and continued to approach him: “Third Brother, don’t be so indifferent to me. I am sad that you are so indifferent to me.” When she finished speaking, she made a weeping expression.

Chi YunChen glanced at her coldly: “It’s none of my business whether you are happy or sad!”

After that, he was too lazy to pay attention to Hu YuJiao again and walked quickly to the foot of the mountain after passing her.

Hu YuJiao looked at his back, her heart blameful and angry.

For the sake of Su Man-er, that woman, he acted like this toward her! What could she not compare with Su Man-er?

She chased him: “Third Brother……”

“Aiya, look at that Hu YuJiao. She even pesters Chi YunChen. Why is this woman’s face so thick?”

“Exactly. I heard that she was kicked out by Chi YunChen. I just want to say that chasing her out was good. Leave such a woman at home, and sooner or later there will be trouble!”

Two villagers suddenly came out of a side road. The two villagers came up the mountain to cut firewood.

When the villagers saw Hu YuJiao pestering Chi YunChen like this, they couldn’t help commenting a few words.

Hu YuJiao didn’t think there were other people on the mountain.

She was stunned. She took a look at the two villagers and saw the look of contempt in the eyes of the villagers. She felt a little choked in her heart and her face was a little embarrassed.

But Chi YunChen walked faster and faster ahead of her and Hu YuJiao wanted to overstep the limit to chase him again.

However, when she thought of the presence of the other villagers, her action of wanting to chase him simply came to a halt.

……

Chi YunChen came home, carrying his things. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he smelled the fragrance of food.

Chi JiaYue, who was playing in the yard, saw him return. He ran to him and said: “Third Uncle, you are back.”

After speaking, he cleverly took the machete in Chi YunChen’s hand.

Chi YunChen glanced at him: “Didn’t I ask you to take care of your Third Aunt in the room? Why did you come out?

Chi JiaYue’s round eyes looked at him: “Third Uncle, Third Aunt is much better. She said she doesn’t need to rest any more. She’s making food now. The radish pancake she made is delicious. I just had two.”

Chi YunChen: “……”

He was a little surprised, Su Man-er was actually cooking?

He took a look at the kitchen. His eyes flickered slightly. He put down the peach wood in his hand and walked to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Grandma Chi was tending the fire, while Xiao WanXiu and Chi YunBo are sitting at the side. Each person had a steamer basket to bake with.

Seeing that Chi YunChen had returned, Chi YunBo stood up from the stool under him: “Third Brother……”

Chi YunChen did not look at him, but at the busy woman standing in front of the stove.

The woman was wearing a thick cloth apron around her waist. Her hair that was originally draped behind her head was now simply tied up.

She was holding a wok spatula in one hand and a large bowl in the other. Now, she picked up the fried yellow pancake from the pot into the large bowl.

She felt the intense gaze on her body, her hand movements slightly paused. She turned her head to him and said: “Are you back? Tired? Sit down and have a rest.”

Chi YunChen looked at her. He was silent for two seconds. He walked quickly to her and said: “You should take more rest since you are injured. Just leave the cooking to me.”

He spoke, planning to take the wok spatula and the large bowl in her hands: “Go and rest!”

Su Man-er turned slightly to avoid his movements.

She raised the corners of her mouth and said with a light smile: “I don’t feel pain at all now. I don’t need rest. Besides, cooking isn’t too tiring. I can do it.”

After a pause, she spoke again, “What’s more, what you make is not as delicious as what I make. What I make can be comparable to the level of a restaurant chef.”

Chi YunChen: “……”

He frowned slightly as if he hadn’t expected her to boast like this.

Grandma Chi, who was tending the fire, said: “The food made by Man-er is delicious. Just now we all tasted a piece of radish pancake. We didn’t know that radishes could be made so delicious.”

In the past, their radishes were used to stir fry or stew with minced meat.

But no matter whether it’s fried or stewed, there was nothing that was as delicious as the radish pancakes that Su Man-er made.

Grandma Chi said as she took a look at the pancake in the large bowl, thinking that she was an old woman in her seventies, yet even she was so gluttonous that she had to swallow her saliva.

Xiao WanXiu, who was at the side, echoed: “Yes, the pancakes made by Man-er are very delicious. Just now, JiaYue had even said it was the best thing he had ever eaten.”

Chi YunChen took a look at the radish pancake in the large bowl.

The pancake was fried until it was yellow and emitted an alluring fragrance. It looked delicious indeed.

Su Man-er shoveled all the pancakes from the pot into the large bowl. Suddenly, she picked up a piece of pancake with her chopsticks and sent it to Chi YunChen’s mouth: “Try it.”

Chi YunChen: “……”

He frowned, looked at her, then looked at the pancake, and refused, “No need, I’ll eat it during the meal.“

Su Man-er: “……” She didn’t expect that he could refuse the temptation of delicious food. He has determination!

She stared at him and when he was not paying attention, she quickly shoved the pancake into his mouth: “Try it.”

Chi YunChen’s face sank instantly.

It’s clear that her movements have upset him.

But soon, his gloomy expression brightened.

He was a little surprised when he tasted the radish pancake in his mouth.

The flavor of the pancake had a fragrance of radish, a rich fragrance of oil, and a hint of the fragrance of chopped onions.

These three flavors are mixed in one, which was unexpectedly very harmonious and delicious.

He frowned for a few seconds, then stood aside and ate in silence.
