Li Hui's "hmm" without raising his head was regarded as a response.Cheng Xue leaned over and took a look. He was writing the plan for the northern state capital in the next two years.

It ranges from increasing grain production and raising taxes to providing subsidies for government soldier training.I have written several articles and reassigned work tasks to all the current officials in the government office.Anyway, it’s a principle, never let anyone be idle.

Seeing that he was still busy writing, Cheng Xue gave him a cup of hot tea, then pulled the charcoal basin forward before leaving the government office lobby.

Before entering the backyard, I heard Li Huai yelling. It sounded like he wanted to ride on a tiger, but the tiger wouldn't let him.

It is said that seven or eight years old is a nuisance to dogs, but they are so naughty before the time. She can no longer imagine what the child will be like when he reaches that time.

To be honest, among the four children in the family, except for Li Huai, the other three were very obedient and didn't put much effort into it.After all, the three of them grew up in a different environment than Li Huai. As long as the little guy could remember, his family had no worries about food and drink.

"Oh Sidan, please stop tossing the tiger. If you do it again, I will get impatient."

"Second sister, I'm acting for you. You sit there and watch carefully. I was really riding a tiger when I was taking a nap and dreaming. It's so amazing."

Cheng Xue was speechless when she heard this.This brat, can’t tell the difference between dreams and reality?
Just when she was about to stop her, there was a "snoring" sound from a tiger, and not long after, the little thing ran up to Cheng Xue and rubbed her head against her skirt.

As soon as Li Huai, who was running after the dog, saw his mother, Le Diandian stepped forward and said:

"My mother is back. I miss you so much. I was dreaming about my mother just now..."

The little mouth boy said that he could send the guests out of town even if they didn't eat.It just so happens that she has a lover's flesh, so she won't annoy anyone no matter how much she nags.

Cheng Xue stroked the top of his hair lovingly, then asked after he finished speaking:
"Why are you riding a tiger? How old are you to be naughty?"

Li Huai said "Hey..." with a silly smile and acquiesced. He rubbed his mother's palm coquettishly and shouted "Mom" coquettishly, as if begging for mercy.Li Tian, ​​who ran over later, saw this and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.The oldest son, the oldest grandson, the lifeblood of the parents.She waved to Huzi, waited for the little guy to run up to her, purred twice, and took it back first.

When Cheng Xue saw her daughter taking the dog away, she slapped Li Huai on the forehead with a straight face.

"Don't bully Hu Zi again next time."

"Don't worry, mother, I'm very good to it. I'll give it the bones I finished chewing at noon, and it'll enjoy the meal."

When Huzi who was walking in front heard this, he immediately stopped, turned his head and said "Woof——" twice.

"Look, Mom, it's thanking me."

"Yeah, but that's the case. Such a large piece of bone has been chewed cleanly, and not even a piece of fascia is left to the tiger."

Listening to Li Tian's complaints, Cheng Xue finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.Everyone in the family knows that Li Huai is good at chewing bones. He can chew the chicken paws without leaving any small brittle bones in each joint. After the small bones are dried, they can be directly used as specimens.

Li Huai called "Second Sister" coquettishly, and Li Tian simply "hummed" and led Hu Zi away.

Cheng Xue smiled and took her youngest son back to the back house, then dived into the kitchen to get busy.

Beef, mutton, and pork have all been cut and marinated with onions, ginger, and garlic.Harabi, pig heart, etc. are also braised and sliced, just waiting for the charcoal grilled dryness and dipping sauce.

The whole kitchen was filled with the smell of old braised pork soup. Cheng Xue told Bai Shao to put away the old soup and use it for braised pork years ago.

Several people were busy, and candles were lit in the kitchen.

Not long after, Li Hui came back from the front. The fire in the four charcoal stoves was just right. He closed the grates and started roasting.

Cheng Xue, Wen Tian, ​​Bai Shao, and Tian Dong each take charge of a charcoal stove.It was the first time for Dexi, Bai Wei and others to experience it, so they sat obediently and waited to eat.

As the meat made a "sizzling" sound when placed on the hot grate, the kitchen was soon filled with the smell of burnt meat.

Dexi looked at it carefully, then touched Tiandong lightly with his elbow, and asked in a low voice: "Have you always eaten this before?"

I have been working in the Li family for three months. I know that this family is very willing to eat, but this is the first time I have seen them eat meat like this.

Tiandong turned the meat over, nodded, and replied:
"It's too cold today, otherwise it would be better to skewer it with a skewer and eat it by rolling it. Our wife and Mr. Xiao opened those skewers in the capital. Have you never been there?"

Dexi looked at the others, and then everyone shook their heads together.It’s not that they can’t afford it, it’s that they don’t have the time.Running one mission after another, coming to the Li family was their easiest and most comfortable mission, and it was also a future they had worked hard for for so many years.

It can only be said that they are lucky to be in a family like Li Hui. Some of their former companions went to wealthy families and were either demoted to the Zhuangzi to work as coolies or became cannon fodder in inner-house fights.

Some aristocratic families don't care whether they are from the palace or not, such as the Gu family and the Su family.

"Okay, you can taste it with dry ingredients and serve with garlic slices."

Tiandong's voice interrupted several people's thoughts. Everyone had a piece of sizzling beef on their plate.

Obediently dip it in the dry ingredients, add garlic slices, and put it in your mouth...

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, it's delicious!" Yongxi couldn't help nodding in praise.

He is a man of few words, but he is very passionate about eating.

Cheng Xue saw how busy Tiandong's table was and said with a smile:
"There are no green vegetables at the moment, otherwise it would be delicious wrapped in lettuce."

"Madam, this is ready." Yongxi said while giving a thumbs up.

Tiandong looked at Yongxi who had a different impression and whispered to Li Hui:
"This guy's weakness is pretty easy to catch."

"Not necessarily." Li Hui shook his head, handed the roasted meat slices to his two daughters and said, "They all eat a lot of good food, so this barbecue is different, and it captured them for a while."

"Hey, you are so boring, why are you so serious?"

"What are you doing? What do you want to do? Just be simple-minded like you?"

"You two take a break. Don't argue because it's a big holiday." Cheng Xue intervened at the right time and helped turn the meat.

Three large pots of meat plus two pots of offal, as well as some mushrooms, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other vegetables.

After the meal was over, there was nothing left except the onions, ginger, and garlic left from the marinated meat.

Dexi and the others were very full, and for the first time they walked and ate together with Li Heng and others in the yard.Cheng Xue took his two daughters, Bai Shao and others to clean up the charcoal stove. Li Hui and Tian Dong were also cleaning up the charcoal stove.

In the Li family, the master can cook and work as he pleases, and Bai Shao and others are accustomed to it.

After finishing everything, everyone takes a piece of moon cake and stands in the yard to look at the moon symbolically, and then everyone goes back to their respective houses.

Li Huai also wanted to eat mooncakes, but Li Tian snatched them away.

"If you still eat so much meat, be careful and you will become a fat pig. You will be slaughtered in the new year."

"The second sister actually lied to me. I am a human being, not a pig."

"You're almost turning into a little piglet." Li Tian reminded him matter-of-factly.
