Dad is here

Chapter 23 I invite you to eat big chicken drumsticks!
On Mu Xiaotao's third birthday, Mu Yang gave her a little white rabbit as a birthday present.

Mu Xiaotao liked this rabbit so much that she named it Fluffy.At that time, Mu Xiaotao hadn't been to kindergarten yet, so she played with the rabbit during the day, feeding it vegetables and carrots, and when her mother picked her up at night, she would wave to the rabbit and say, "Furry, you have to be good!" Listen to grandpa and grandma, I will come play with you tomorrow, goodbye."

After Furry was raised for more than a month, one day, Mu Xiaotao found that it had fallen asleep, laying there motionless, unable to wake up no matter how loud it was.

Mu Xiaotao went to call her grandfather. Mu Yang looked at the rabbit, picked it up by its ears, put it in a plastic bag, and took it outside the house.

Mu Xiaotao waited for a long time, but Fluffy didn't come back.She asked her grandfather where Mao Mao went and when she would come back, and Mu Yang told her that Mao Mao died and went to heaven, and would never come back.

Three-year-old Mu Xiaotao certainly doesn't know what death is. In her little head, never coming back is tantamount to death.

On Cat’s Claw Mountain, a group of people rested for 10 minutes before heading towards the top of the mountain. Most of the children couldn’t walk anymore. Fortunately, they were still young, and their parents took turns to hold and carry them, and they all made it to the top.

You Xinyang didn't tire Mu Fengying from the beginning to the end, and took over the job of carrying Mu Xiaotao.After reaching the top of the mountain, You Xinyang even let Mu Xiaotao sit on his neck, and stretched out his arms to grab her two little hands and let her "ride".

He is tall, and when he was standing by the railing on the side of the mountain, Mu Xiaotao, who was sitting on his shoulder, screamed in fright. You Xinyang laughed hahaha, then put Mu Xiaotao down again, and circled her small body Let her stand on the railing and point to the distant city scene and speak to her.

"Where is that?"

Mu Xiaotao shook her head.

You Xinyang smiled: "That's Xiaotao's home."

Mu Xiaotao giggled, waving her small arms and said, "My home is so big!"

Mu Fengying was always by their side, while Xu Luofeng was always standing not far away.

After playing on the top of the mountain for half an hour, You Xinyang took a lot of group photos of Mu Fengying's mother and daughter with his mobile phone, and asked Mu Xiaotao to take pictures with his best friend Huang Mengmeng.Mengmeng's mother saw that he was sweating, and said, "Hey, let me take a photo for the three of you."

Mu Fengying paused in her heart, and involuntarily glanced at Xu Luofeng in the distance, and when she looked at You Xinyang again, she heard him laughing at Mengmeng's mother: "Thank you, but we won't shoot anymore, and we will have a chance in the future .”

Mu Fengying looked at him gratefully. She was indeed not yet mentally prepared to show affection to You Xinyang in front of Xu Luofeng. Besides, she and You Xinyang were not lovers now.

When going down the mountain, Mu Xiaotao clamored to walk by herself. The stone steps were quite high, and she had some difficulty walking, so Mu Fengying led her to walk very slowly.When they reached a relatively gentle mountain road, Mu Fengying let go of Mu Xiaotao and let her go by herself.

There are several ginkgo trees planted on this road, and the ginkgo fruit is growing at this time. Mu Xiaotao is as happy as a bird out of the cage, squatting on the side of the road to look at the wild flowers for a while, and bouncing around on the ground to pick up the fallen ones Ginkgo fruit, but accidentally fell, and the whole person fell on the ground.

Xu Luofeng had been staring at them the whole time, and when Mu Xiaotao fell, he couldn't help it, and hurried up.

Mu Fengying was pulling Mu Xiaotao up from the ground and helping her to pat the dirt on her clothes and trousers, but the little guy didn't cry, he was still holding a few ginkgo nuts in his hand, obediently letting his mother clean it up.

Mu Fengying was taken aback when she stood up. Xu Luofeng was already standing beside her. Seeing him looking like he was about to question her, You Xinyang said, "It's inevitable for children to fall, so don't be so nervous."

Xu Luofeng knew that he had indeed gone through some troubles, but luckily he didn't say anything, so he didn't say anything.

Mu Xiaotao looked up at the three adults curiously, and You Xinyang patted Mu Fengying on the shoulder: "Take Xiaotao and go first, I'll smoke a cigarette."

Mu Fengying nodded, took a look at Xu Luofeng, picked up Mu Xiaotao and walked down the mountain, Mu Xiaotao kept looking at You Xinyang and Xu Luofeng until she was too far away, then she asked Mu Fengying: "Mom, Xinyang Uncle, and that uncle, who will be my new father?"

Mu Fengying was speechless and couldn't answer, so she had no choice but to reprimand: "You want a new father so much! Don't be ashamed to be ashamed!"

Mu Xiaotao pursed her mouth aggrievedly, and decided to ignore her mother.

When Mu Fengying walked away, You Xinyang walked up to Xu Luofeng, took out the cigarette case and handed him a cigarette.

Xu Luofeng took it.

The two men walked down the mountain slowly, Xu Luofeng remained silent, and You Xinyang spoke first.

"I don't know anything about Yingying and you in college." There was a wind on the mountain, You Xinyang put his hands together to light a cigarette, and then threw the lighter to Xu Luofeng, "I asked her before, and she didn't want to mention it at all. , I will not ask. Mr. Xu, some things are in the past, I don’t know if you are pestering them because of Yingying or because of Xiaotao. If it is because of Yingying, I want to say sorry to you, I I am chasing her. I think she is a good girl, kind-hearted, hard-working, and full of personality. Of course, she is also very beautiful. I really like her and want to marry her home. If... you It's because of Xiaotao, so I can only say...hehe, I really don't feel worthy for Yingying."

Xu Luofeng stood on the steps, turned to look at You Xinyang, and said coldly: "You don't seem to have the position to say these things to me."

You Xinyang shrugged: "Indeed, I don't deny that I haven't caught up with Yingying yet. But Mr. Xu, love is over. Yingying may have liked you before, but now she has given up on you Now, if you really want to be good for Xiaotao, stop pestering their mother and daughter. To be honest, in my opinion, you don’t like Yingying too much now, and your behavior has caused dissatisfaction to their lives. A little trouble. Mr. Xu, is it really that difficult to let go? I don’t think so, you...you probably never liked Yingying from the beginning to the end, right?”

Xu Luofeng's eyes were already icy cold, he sneered and asked, "How do you know that I never liked her?"

You Xinyang laughed: "If you liked her, you would definitely inquire about her over the years, you can't help but miss her, wonder how she is doing now, you can't even stop yourself from coming back to see her, It won't be..." He gave Xu Luofeng a meaningful look, "It won't be until so many years later that I know that Mu Fengying gave birth to your daughter because of an accidental encounter."

After finishing speaking, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of You Xinyang's mouth, he took a long leg, and went down the mountain in three steps in two steps to pursue Feng Ying.On the Cangliang Mountain Road, the cold wind blew past, leaving Xu Luofeng standing there alone.

It was already 11:[-] noon when the group returned to the yard of the farmhouse. The head of the family committee contacted the boss to rent a few stoves for everyone. Mu Fengying and You Xinyang ordered only one stove.Several young mothers distributed ingredients to everyone in units of heads. After seeing those things, Mu Fengying admired You Xinyang's foresight in her heart. With these foods alone, Mu Xiaotao could only be fed.

When the big guys were busy moving things and choosing a place, Xu Luofeng came late.He strolled into the yard, looked around, and saw Mu Xiaotao and a few other children playing in the yard.

She didn't seem to be injured from the fall, so Xu Luofeng was relieved and planned to drive back.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaotao saw Xu Luofeng and ran over to him with a friendly smile: "Uncle, do you want to barbecue?"

Xu Luofeng was startled and shook his head.He patted Mu Xiaotao's head and asked, "Did you fall down on the mountain just now, did it hurt?"

Mu Xiaotao also shook her head: "It doesn't hurt." Then she laughed again, "We, we'll have a barbecue later!" She pointed to You Xinyang and Mu Fengying who were setting up the stove in the distance, and said excitedly, "We I bought a lot of big chicken legs! Uncle, do you like chicken legs?"

Xu Luofeng looked at her innocent face, and somehow replied, "I love to eat."

"Then I'll treat you to a big chicken drumstick!" Mu Xiaotao smiled even more happily, "A lot of big chicken drumsticks!"

Xu Luofeng was reluctant to leave, so he stayed and rented a stove, and asked the boss to buy some ingredients.

Then, he discovered a big problem. He, young master Xu, doesn't know how to barbecue.

Xu Luofeng didn't like barbecue at all, and he always stayed away from such smoky cooking methods. He also didn't like those greasy and dirty grilled foods.In the few barbecue experiences from childhood to adulthood, he was the one who watched and waited to eat. Others were men who grilled for their girlfriends, but here he was replaced by a girlfriend who grilled for him.If the girlfriend doesn't want to roast, then eat brother's roast, if Lu Yunfan and Cheng Xu are stingy and don't let him eat, Young Master Xu will pat his ass and leave.

Therefore, this is the first time that such a situation of facing a stove and a pile of raw meat alone has happened.

You Xinyang often travels by car, and survival in the wild is no problem. Barbecue in this kind of scenic spot is simply a child's play for him.He moved two large bags of ingredients from the car, all skewered and marinated, and the chicken wings and drumsticks were nicely cut a few times to ensure the taste.

While tidying up things around the stove, he noticed that Mu Fengying was a little absent-minded, and when he looked back, he saw Xu Luofeng watching the boss light the fire.

When a fire is lit, there will be smoke, and the smoke will drift away with the direction of the wind, Xu Luofeng frowned deeply, wherever the smoke drifts, he will retreat in the opposite direction.You Xinyang couldn't help laughing.

"Young Master." He quickly added charcoal to the grill, "Miss Mu Fengying, I once again question your aesthetic vision in the loli period, hahahahaha."

Mu Fengying blushed: "He has a cleanliness."

"Aha?" You Xinyang was overjoyed, "Then what is he doing here, this stove is so dirty, can he eat the baked things?"

"I don't know." Mu Fengying looked at Xu Luofeng again, and found that Mu Xiaotao and Huang Mengmeng were standing beside him at some point. Mu Xiaotao was not afraid of the smoke, and she enjoyed watching the boss light the stove.

Mu Fengying really wanted to go over and bring Xiaotao back, but felt that she was being too stingy, thinking that You Xinyang's place hadn't been cleaned up yet, so let the children play outside first.

The boss helped Xu Luofeng light the grill, and told him when to add charcoal, when to brush with oil, when to turn over, and when to sprinkle seasonings. Xu Luofeng had a headache.After the boss walked away, he stared at the burning stove for a long time. Mu Xiaotao and several other children were also staring at him. Xu Luofeng had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down. A few skewers of meat were thrown on the grate, and he picked up the barbecue fork to skewer chicken wings.

Wet, sticky raw chicken wings... Young Master Xu was on the verge of collapse.

The boss's things are very rough, and Xu Luofeng is inexperienced. After skewering three chicken wings, he accidentally broke his finger on the barbecue fork.The children had been watching him seriously, and when they saw the blood on his index finger, Mu Xiaotao yelled "Ah".

"It's bleeding!!" Huang Mengmeng screamed.

Wang Rui's eyes widened: "The finger is broken!"

Mu Xiaotao was angry: "It won't be broken!"

Mao Mao dragged her nose: "Uncle, are you in pain?"

Huang Mengmeng covered her eyes and cried in fright: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Xu Luofeng: "..."

The children were all scared away, and only Mu Xiaotao was left standing beside him. She leaned her little head to look at Xu Luofeng's fingertips, "Uncle, it's still bleeding."

Xu Luofeng didn't feel any pain, but was worried about getting a tetanus. He said "um", took out a tissue to cover the wound, and wanted to ask the boss to buy a band-aid.At this time, Mu Xiaotao suddenly grabbed his hand, stretched his injured index finger to her mouth, and licked it with her little tongue.

The warm and moist touch shocked Xu Luofeng. After Mu Xiaotao licked it, she raised her face and smiled at Xu Luofeng, and said, "Mom said, it won't hurt if you lick it."

Xu Luofeng was stunned, and it wasn't until the meat skewers on the stove net gave off a burnt smell that he came back to his senses.Mu Xiaotao had already spread her short legs and ran to Mu Fengying's side. She was gesticulating and pointing at Xu Luofeng.

Xu Luofeng saw You Xinyang stood up and left the yard. After a while, he brought back a bag of things and handed it to Mu Fengying. Mu Fengying lowered her head and thought for a while, then walked towards Xu Luofeng with the bag.

She walked up to him and said in a low voice, "Xiaotao said you were injured, Xinyang has iodine, you should take care of it first, and see if you need a tetanus shot when you go back."
