DAVM Chapter 91.5

Mu Xiaoshi came over with a plate of cold cucumbers: “Aunt Si Tian, my Aunt asked me to bring some vegetables. Thank you Ningyi and Zhile for giving us the vegetables.”

Si Tian looked at the plate of cold cucumbers in Mu Xiaoshi’s hand. The cucumbers were smashed into pieces. The spicy oil on top was fragrant. When she smelled it, she knew it had just been poured.

The fragrance of cucumber and the taste of vinegar were perfectly blended, which was a world of difference compared to the dull-colored winter melon that was just stir-fried by Si Tian.

Si Tian took it and quickly said, “Thank you, Xiaoshi, your Aunt is really amazing.”

The corners of Mu Xiaoshi’s lips raised slightly, her hands nervously grasped the corners of her clothes, and she looked very happy: “You’re welcome.”

She glanced at the fried winter melon on the table, seemed to have thought of something, hesitated a little, and then said to Si Tian, “Aunt Si Tian, I’m going home first.”

As soon as Ji Zhile and Ji Ningyi came out of the kitchen, they also saw the food that Mu Xiaoshi brought over just now. Ji Zhile was very moved: “Sister Xiaoshi is so kind. Brother, let’s form a team with her tomorrow.”

Ji Ningyi nodded: “Okay.”

He saw Mu Xiaoshi’s help to Ji Zhile today. Mu Xiaoshi seemed to be a little different from what he originally thought.

The whole family was about to eat cucumbers and porridge. At this time, Mu Xiaoshi came over again, with a shy but enthusiastic invitation: “Aunt Si Tian, Zhile, Ningyi, my Aunt said that she cooked a lot of dishes tonight and we can eat them together.”

Ji Zhile couldn’t believe that happiness came so suddenly: “Is it really possible?”

Mu Xiaoshi nodded, hummed twice with a flushed face, then turned, and ran away.

Ji Zhile happily said to Si Tian, ​​”Mom, we can have dinner now.”

Si Tian suddenly felt very sad and said to the two children: “Mom will study hard and try to let you eat hot dishes and meals in the future.”

Ji Ningyi said with a serious look on his face: “I will also study hard. Cooking is not difficult at all!”

Ji Zhile pinched his pocket as if swearing: “I will work hard to make money so that Mom and Brother can live a good life!”

[I’m going to die from laughing. Why is Si Tian’s family so different in style? It looks like the 1980s when people didn’t even have enough to eat.]

[Si Tian is very real. I don’t know how to cook, so I rely on takeaway]

[Baby Ningyi is so good, he even learned to cook by himself at such a young age.]

[Zhile Zai is so cute, he knows how to work hard to make money at such a young age.]

[I can cook, let me help them, just let me rua the baby!]

After the dinner was settled, Ji Zhile took out the remaining grapes, washed them, put them on a plate, and took them to Mu Xiaoshi’s house.

Si Tian washed and packed the remaining vegetables and took them away.

Ji Ningyi carried the rice cooker to Mu Xiaoshi’s house.

The meal was very lively. After the meal, Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile also took the task of washing dishes, and Mu Xiaoshi also joined in with the encouragement of her aunt.

Ji Zhile said: “Sister Xiaoshi, your food is delicious. Thank you.”

Ji Ningyi also said sincerely: “Thank you.”

Compared to being at a loss when receiving kindness for the first time, Mu Xiaoshi was still a little shy at this moment, but she was no longer so nervous that she couldn’t say a word. Her face was red, and her words were a bit incoherent, but they were complete: “You are welcome to come to our house. My Aunt and I are very happy.”

While chatting while washing dishes, there are not many topics that the children can talk about, most of which are related to school.

Ji Zhile talked about what happened to him in kindergarten and Ji Ningyi would also speak, but Mu Xiaoshi was silent from beginning to end and would only laugh when she heard funny and interesting things.

She didn’t master the expression of a smile very well. Her lips were pursed slightly and the upward arc was a little stiff, but there was a slight hint of happiness in her eyes.

She felt that Ji Zhile and Ji Ningyi’s schools were both very good. They had enthusiastic and friendly classmates and teachers who cared about them. They participated in many activities and had many good friends. She had never experienced this.

Ji Zhile tilted his head and asked, “Sister Xiaoshi, where are you studying? How is your school?”

Mu Xiaoshi was stunned, a little silly. She didn’t know what to say. Her palms were sweating. There was nothing in her school, no good friends, and no interesting activities, so she didn’t dare to say anything.

But, it was hard to get a friend with whom she could talk and chat. Although Mu Xiaoshi didn’t know if they were friends, she cherished them very much.

If she didn’t say anything, would Ji Zhile and Ji Ningyi alienate her like those classmates in the future?

Mu Xiaoshi didn’t want to do this. She clenched her fists and opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, even if it was a lie, but something seemed to be blocked in her throat and she couldn’t say anything.

She remembered what the teacher said, you can’t do anything well. A strong sense of defeat swept over her. Mu Xiaoshi lowered her head helplessly under Ji Zhile’s expectant eyes.

At this time, she heard a familiar voice, very gentle, softer than the moonlight tonight.

“Xiaoshi is in the Experimental Primary School. It’s very big. There is a big portrait of a person when you enter the school. There are ginkgo trees on both sides. If you walk in, you can see a pool with a lot of goldfish in it…”

Ji Ningyi spoke for her softly.

Ji Zhile wowed: “That’s great. I want to go too. I can feed the little goldfish after class. Brother, how do you know about Sister Xiaoshi’s school?”

Ji Ningyi said: “Because I have been there. Teacher Luo took us there for class.”

“Then, have you seen sister Xiaoshi?”

“I saw it.”

“Xiaoshi also has many good friends, just like Zhile…”

Mu Xiaoshi lowered her head, bit her lips, and said nothing. Hearing Ji Ningyi’s description, it seemed that she really lived in such a school.
