“Ugh… it’s dayti now… Uncle, could you be any more shaless?”
Her whole body went limp, almost unable to stand.
Angrily slapping his iron arm, she wished she could bite it twice.
Di Yelei was completely lost in the intoxicating tenderness, unable to stop easily.
Reluctant to let go, he nibbled on her bit by bit, devouring her inch by inch, insatiably.
He raised his thick eyebrows triumphantly, watching her blush and smile with satisfaction.
“How does it feel? Do you like Uncle bullying you like this? If you keep talking nonsense, this is the lightest punishnt. Huh?”
As he spoke, he took the opportunity to pinch her chin.
She covered her chin, looking at him with a mix of shyness and annoyance, her breathing heavy as she leaned into his arms, having long forgotten her original question.
“All you do is bully , I hate it! Don’t expect to cook for you tonight. You can wait to eat raw rice and noodles!”
She stubbornly hit back, rembering how bad his cooking was. If she really let him cook for a couple of als, she would show him!
Di Yelei raised his sword eyebrows, unconvinced, “That’s not acceptable. When I’m hungry, it’s your responsibility to feed . As for tonight’s al, the cooked dishes are already ready at the old house, let’s go over there and eat.”
Di Yelei looked down at her, “Sisi, would you accompany to the old house tonight? If you don’t go…”
“Alright.”
“I know it’ll make you uncomfortable, but… huh?”
Di Yelei had been prepared to persuade her, but didn’t expect Liu Sisi to agree so easily just after he brought it up!
It felt like punching cotton, soft and powerless.
“What’s wrong? Don’t tell you don’t want to go?”
Liu Sisi rolled her eyes.
Uncle must not have expected her to be so straightforward, right? She had to attend tonight’s dinner, and do it confidently!
At this ti, the last person she wanted to see her should be Di Ruoning, right? To get the information from her past life, the best breakthrough was her!
Although what she said might not be true, there should at least be so real information in it.
No matter what the purpose was, she had to go anyway.
Her heart was racing, but her face was all smiles, not leaking any signs.
Di Yelei frowned as he watched her for a mont, unable to find any flaws, so he had no choice but to keep this in mind for now.
His scratched face naturally attracted a lot of attention when he arrived at the old house.
Others were fine, just secretly laughing.
As soon as Ms. Wang saw Di Yelei’s face, she shouted, “Yo! What happened to Third Brother’s face? Was it scratched by a kitten?”
Liu Sisi remained silent, Di Yelei glanced at her with sharp eyes and replied evenly, “It’s nothing, just hurt myself by accident.”
Ms. Wang’s mouth was unforgiving. With her high-pitched voice, the whole courtyard could hear her, “Tsk tsk! This kitten seems to have quite the temper. The wounds on both sides of your face don’t look the sa, they were not scratched at the sa ti, right? I’m telling you, Third Brother…”
“Second Sister-in-law! If you’re restless, rember to deal with those fish and shrimp. They can’t be kept for long.”
Ms. Wang’s voice choked, her eyes rolling nonstop: “Ah! I rember I still have so unfinished embroidery that needs to be delivered to soone tomorrow. I’ll go tend to it now.”
Having said that, she hurried back to her room and slamd the door shut.
Ms. Wang was a sharp-tongued person, but she was good at embroidering and often earned so private money from selling her embroidery work.
Seeing the scratches on Di Yelei’s face that couldn’t be hidden, Liu Sisi chuckled.
“Fine! I know you did it on purpose! Are you happy now, you little kitten?”
Di Yelei whispered in her ear and rubbed her nose playfully, “Help out in the kitchen for now. I’ll go check on Dad in his room and co back.”
“Glad you know that, hmph! You deserve it.”
Liu Sisi laughed happily and then went to the kitchen.
Tonight, eating at the old house was a good idea! But Liu Sisi ended up being the one in charge of cooking.
In addition to the coarse grain porridge as the main dish, Sisi stead so buns with mixed grains. She also cooked a mixed dish using roe deer innards, along with cordyceps jujube stewed turtle, which she prepared especially for Elderly Mr. Di. There were also eel fillets, fried shrimp with green onions, braised small fish, and so vegetables.
There were various types of veggies in the old house’s garden; Sisi wasn’t shy about using them, preparing every dish she could think of.
Liu Sisi was busy in and out of the kitchen, stir-frying.
Ms. Wang, like a cat slling fish, swooped into the kitchen at the first whiff of the delicious food. She kept nitpicking and nagging at Liu Sisi.
Ms. Zhao stayed close to the side of the sick Di Ruoning, not giving Liu Sisi any trouble.
When it was ti to eat, plates filled with food covered two large tables – one for n, another for won. The n’s table also had a jar of rice wine.
The newly opened rice wine was steaming hot, with an aroma that filled the air and a strong, delightful scent.
Once everyone was seated, Elderly Mr. Di took the lead and started eating.
Liu Sisi paid no mind to the pathetic looks so of the others were giving her, openly enjoying her al.
She had cooked all this food herself, so she was happy to eat it.
Seeing Liu Sisi eating so rrily made Ms. Zhao quite annoyed. Coincidentally, Brother Gao sitting beside her accidentally knocked over a bowl of bold-flavored soup trying to grab a plate.
Ms. Zhao took this as her cue to snap, slamming her chopsticks down and starting to yell: “Eat, eat, eat! That’s all you ever do! Look at you, with your sharp mouth, you can bring the dead back to life! But all you ever do is eat. Do you even look at your own status, and yet you still…!”
“Ahem!”
Just as she was railing against Liu Sisi, Elderly Mr. Di let out a cough from the other table: “Eat your food and don’t make a fuss! If you’re full, then leave. Otherwise, sit at this table and stop losing your temper at others!”
Reprimanded by Elderly Mr. Di, Ms. Zhao lost her montum but still glared resentfully at Liu Sisi before reluctantly picking up her chopsticks again.
Only Di Ruoning sat quietly in the corner, not even looking in Liu Sisi’s direction, her grandmother Ms. Ma serving her food while she ate silently.
Liu Sisi paid no notice to the drama, instead focusing on removing fish bones for YingEr.
YingEr enjoyed fish but wouldn’t remove the bones herself. She was adept at picking snail at, however, so she sat right next to the large bowl of field snails.
Mother and daughter picked away at fishbones and snail at respectively, placing them in each other’s small bowls. Their harmonious scene made others envious.
