About the fact that I accidentally turned my sister into a cripple

Chapter 20 A Family Dining Table
Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Tianhai Qimingyue held a book in both hands, and sat on the single sofa diagonally opposite to Sakakibara Suzu. When she heard the sound of Sakakihara Raku and her sister coming back, she still buried her head, her eyes always fell on Between the lines in the book.

"Is auntie not home?" Tianhai Jiuliuli came out from the kitchen.

"No, this kind of time is the busiest time for their restaurant." Sakakihara Raku handed the freshly received water to Sakakihara Ling, without even saying "thank you brother".

Tianhai Jiuliuli: "So, we are the only ones coming to dinner today?"

"It can only be this way."

Cooking has always been what Sakakibara does.

After more than ten years of shopping, chopping, cooking, washing pots, and washing dishes, he has become used to them.

After all, my father ran away, and at that time, my mother worked five odd jobs outside alone, earning money from dawn to dusk.

As the eldest son in the family, how can he not shoulder the pressure of daily life in the family?

Looking at the various ingredients I just bought from Don Quixote in front of me.

Sakakihara Raku was thinking about what to eat today.

three sisters.

Their preferences vary.

Tianhai Jiuliuli likes vegetables and fruits, and prefers light food.

Tianhai Qimingyue is unknown for now, but she likes potato chips.

Make a mixed salad for my sister, and a fried rice with potato chips for my sister?
Potato chips fried rice is a bit strange though.

But Sakakihara can only think of this one dish related to potato chips.

Just do it.

Eggs, cucumbers, tomatoes, grapes, and melons. Sakakihara put these ingredients in a pot, and suddenly remembered that when he moved, he brought the corn he hadn't eaten before.

So he turned around and opened the refrigerator, took out the corn and put it in the basin.

"Almost." Sakakihara took a look, then reached out and pulled out the small kitchen knife placed next to the microwave.

Cucumbers are peeled and cut into pieces, tomatoes are washed, corn is prepared, melons are peeled, washed and cut
Sakakihara made a clean cut with a kitchen knife. He turned around and went to the cupboard to get a large glass bowl, and put the cut ingredients in a ready-to-use.

Finally, start to boil the water, and boil the eggs and corn together.

"Do you need help?" Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled at him with his hands behind his back.

"It's okay, I'm busy alone." Sakakihara smiled at her.

"Really don't need it?" Tianhai Jiuliuli was probably not confident in her cooking skills, and her tone was not very firm.

"It's okay, just watch TV, I can probably finish it in half an hour."

"OK then."

In fact, Sakakihara feels that he, as the eldest brother of this combined family, has to shoulder certain responsibilities—this is also his habit in the past ten years.

Whether it's dealing with the relationship between several people or in life, just do what you can, don't bother other people, let alone trouble the righteous sister you just met.

Please, Sakakihara Raku always feels a little sorry.

Put the corn in the pot and cook. During the period, Sakakihara Raku prepared carrot and potato curry rice and fried rice with potato chips that Sakakihara Suzu likes to eat.

At the same time preparing three-point dishes, it was too busy.

Tianhai Jiururi, who was sitting back in the living room, kept looking at Sakakihara Raku who was busy preparing meals in the open kitchen, and asked:

"Is Sakakihara-kun always this busy every day?"

"Yes, my brother likes to cook. Mom usually can't come back in the afternoon, so I let him do it." Suzu Sakakibara lay on the largest sofa, sliding her phone expressionlessly.

"That's it."

While washing, chopping and cooking vegetables, you should also pay attention to the temperature of the water in the pot while preparing condiment samples.

The cutting board that has cut raw meat should be washed again, and the bowl that has been filled with raw meat should also be washed again.
Tianhai Jiuliuli silently looked at the busy figure in the kitchen, turned her head and said to Sakakihara Ling:
"I'd better go help Sakakihara-kun."

"No, he can do it alone." Sakakihara Rin smiled at the message on the phone screen, and answered in a casual tone.

"I think I still need to help." Tianhai Jiuliuli got up and walked over.

"Haha, interesting."

Sakakibara Suzu held the phone screen with both hands and kept her eyes fixed. Seeing the chat records in the group chat with colleagues, she smiled happily again, her legs criss-crossing and swinging on the sofa non-stop.

She turned around, looked left and right, suddenly felt a little thirsty, turned her upper body sideways, and reached for the glass of water that Sakakibara had just poured for him on the coffee table.

But when she picked up the water glass and sat up cross-legged, she turned her gaze to the stage, only to find Tianhai Jiuliuli and Sakakihara Raku talking and laughing in the open kitchen diagonally opposite the living room.

Sakakibara Ling stared there for a while.

"This kind of situation should be expected in advance." Tianhai Qimingyue on the single sofa weighed her gold-rimmed glasses, and opened the pages of the book with her slender hands.

Sakakibara Ling glanced at the half-filled water in the glass, then looked up at Tianhai Qimingyue who was sitting upright.

"what.?"

Tianhai Qimingyue picked up the steaming teacup in front of her, and took a sip against her thin lips. She didn't look at her, and said unhurriedly: "It's nothing, just as a combined family, I think some things must be prepared in advance. it is good."

The heat lingered on the girl's calm face, and Sakakibara Suzu couldn't see her face clearly.

She lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking, and then laughed: "Of course."

Tianhai Qimingyue put down her teacup and didn't speak any more.

Ten minutes later, Sakakihara brought all the dishes to the dining table, and took a pair of bowls and chopsticks for them from the disinfection cabinet in the kitchen, and placed them in front of their respective positions.

"Jiuli, here it is."

"Thank you."

"Seven moons."

"Thanks."

"Aling." Sakakihara gave her the last pair of chopsticks in her hand.

"Why am I the last one?" Sakakibara Suzu raised her head, and her beautiful purple eyes reflected Sakakihara Raku's appearance.

".?"

Sakakihara hesitated for a while, "You are the youngest, so you are the last."

Sakakihara Suzu took his chopsticks and remained silent.

The two sisters of Tianhai sat opposite each other, and Sakakihara Raku sat on the side with Sakakihara Suzu.

Sakakihara Raku looked around at the family who suddenly got together, coughed twice and said:
"Well, you can start now, you're welcome."

With a smile on her face, Tianhai Jiuliuli clasped her hands together, clasped the chopsticks and bowed her head: "I'm starting."

Tianhai Qimingyue was expressionless, put her hands on the skirt and lowered her head: "I'm starting."

Sakakibaru Ling secretly glanced at Tianhai Jiururi who was smiling on the opposite side, poked the curry rice in the bowl with chopsticks, and said, "I'm starting."

Sakakihara Raku heard something wrong with her voice, lowered her voice and asked, "Didn't it be fine just now? What's wrong?"

"You don't need to worry about it." Sakakibara Ling also responded in a low voice, and moved her stool to the side with both hands.

?

Has this period come yet?
Sakakihara didn't feel how he offended her at all.

Sigh. Calling my brother when I have something to do, and ignoring others when I have nothing to do, so a creature like a younger sister is quite troublesome, but it was still cute when I was a child.

However, it's not that he doesn't understand Ah Ling.

After all, it's a family reorganization now, and she feels a little uncomfortable getting along with each other.

"Fried rice with potato chips, first time seeing you."

Tianhai Qimingyue's delicate and flawless eyes reflected a little surprise, but her tone lacked ups and downs, and her expression was almost non-existent.

Sakakihara Raku withdrew her attention from Sakakihara Suzu.

Tianhai Jiuliuli said from the side: "Sakakihara-kun told me about this when we were shopping for vegetables in the afternoon, and he even asked me what kind of food you like."

"Unpredictable."

"This is clearly concerned about your well-being." Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't help defending Sakakihara Le.

"Who knows."

Sakakihara Raku: "."

Did she intuit or did she recognize it?
Why does he always feel that Tianhai Qimingyue seems to know something.

"However, the appearance of fried rice is not bad, better than that of my father and sister."

Tianhai Qimingyue scooped a scoop of fried rice into her bowl with a spoon, said casually again that I started, and then ate the fried rice with potato chips into her cherry-like lips.

Sakakihara Le was looking forward to Qi Mingyue's reply, watching her eat slowly.

This is the first time I have made fried rice with potato chips, but the taste of the fried rice made by cooking skills with the title of [Proficient] should not be bad, right?
However, even though Sakakibara has full confidence in her craftsmanship for almost ten years, when someone else tastes something she really made, she still can't help but pay attention.

"How about it?"

"Delicious." She commented.

Dishes that can make Qi Mingyue continuously give "delicious" evaluations cannot be said to be uncommon, but rare.

She belongs to the kind of person who can eat anything, but finds everything tasteless.

Only when it hits the acceptable point in her heart, will she feel delicious.

Delicious will do.

Sakakibara breathed a sigh of relief, since it was delicious, this should be regarded as your compensation in advance.

Is it not too much to exchange a well-fried potato chip fried rice for a pack of iced potato chips that have not yet been opened?

"It's fine if you can get used to eating. I thought you couldn't get used to my craft." Sakakihara said with a smile.

Tianhai Jiuliuli waved her hand: "No, Qi Mingyue and I both like the food cooked by Auntie. Ah! That's right! Speaking of which, Dad and Auntie got to know each other because of cooking."

"Is there such a thing?" Sakakibara asked curiously, but after thinking about it carefully, my mother and Uncle Tianhai have known each other for more than a year, and the acquaintance is normal.

"Yes, my father came home a long time ago and said that he met a very interesting aunt today."

"Sister, don't talk about that kind of thing."

"What's the matter? The thing about Dad chasing Auntie is also quite interesting. Later, he deliberately took flowers every day to pick her up from Auntie's work place."

"In that situation, no matter how you look at it, Dad looks like a rich playboy."

"No, I think it's quite romantic, what does Sakakihara-kun think?" Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at Sakakihara-le.

Sakakihara did not expect that she would suddenly ask herself: "There are some strange things."

Tianhai Qimingyue immediately turned her head: "Isn't it very old-fashioned?"

Sakakihara: "A little bit."

"Sister lost, Qi Mingyue + 1 point, now 4 points."

"It's clearly 3 points!" Tianhai Jiuliuli retorted.

"My sister made a mistake."

"Absolutely not!"

Sakakihara asked doubtfully: "What do you mean by the score? How much is the full score?"

"Out of 5 points, you can ask the other party to do one thing. The competition between me originated from my unconvinced sister, but as the initiator, she has never won." Tianhai Qimingyue said to Sakakihara Le.

"That's because... because I didn't take it seriously, okay!" Tianhai Jiuliuli's cheeks flushed.

"Yes sister, Qi Mingyue also fully agrees with her words."

Sakakihara Raku: "."

And this kind of game?

"If brother wants to participate, there is no problem. As long as the score is 5 points, brother can ask sister to do anything."

When Tianhai Qimingyue said the three words "anything", she intentionally or unintentionally emphasized the syllable.

"What about you Qimingyue!"

"Qi Mingyue will never lose."

"Impossible! Last time... No, it was last time, you almost lost to me!"

Tianhai Jiuliuli got closer and closer, and Tianhai Qimingyue looked away in disgust: "Judging from the fact that my sister lost 67 rounds, the fact that my sister won Qimingyue is infinitely approaching zero."

"Qi Mingyue!!" Tianhai Jiu Liuli was aroused by her appearance, grabbed her small shoulders and shook her vigorously.

Tianhai Qimingyue said with her eyes half-closed during her sister's shaking, "My sister used violence against Qimingyue again, and Qimingyue will tell Dad to spank your ass."

"No, no, no!"

Two twins who looked exactly like beautiful girls wrestled together again.

Sakakihara Raku was on the sidelines trying to smooth things over: "Let's eat first."

On the bustling dining table, only Suzu Sakakibara poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks sullenly, and murmured a few words inaudibly.
