Chapter 36: Looked at Each Other
However, she did not said anything. He feared it would hurt her heart and reputation if he rashly refused. Therefore, he decided to find a better way to reject her, but at the same time, he should repay her kindness.
For example, now that Xiaoxiao had prepared several meals for them, he would also return the favor with food. He knew the situation of the Ning Family very well. Giving them money was humiliating. Moreover, there was Old Madam Ning, who would not let them go. They might be unable to keep their money even if they had it. It was better to be more practical and help them fill their stomachs first.
Ning Xiaoxiao was too thin. The clothes that didn't fit her showed she was wide. When the wind blew, others could see her thin body. When she raised her hands and feet, they were exposed so thin that they were beyond Rong Yan's imagination. He couldn't understand how such thin arms could stand at the stove to cook, and it was so delicious.
Yun Yi was in high spirits, and his words started sounding slightly excited. "It's also because the young master thought that it tasted good that he specially brought it for you to try. Since he bought it just now, he has been holding it in his arms. Please accept it. Otherwise, how can we trouble you again in the future?"
Rong Yan glared at him, indicating that it was enough. Then he said to them, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I just bought it casually, but it does have to be eaten while it's hot. Otherwise, it won't taste so good." He didn't hug it in his arms. He just had too many things and could only hug them. Yeah. Otherwise, how could he give it to others if it fell to the ground?
At this point, Ning Erlang followed his instincts and took a bite. The three were not full since they only ate a bowl of noodles. Although the bun was a little thick, the ingredients were better. Even the dough was much better than their mix with chaff. Coupled with the meat filling…
Ning Erlang drooled, thinking, "What wouldn't taste good with meat?"
Since his younger siblings had already started eating, Ning Dalang thanked them and ate the bun while it was hot. However, he ate much more elegantly than Ning Erlang.
Xiaoxiao, who had already finished eating, wiped her mouth and looked at Rong Yan with even more satisfaction. He was good-looking, polite, and kind-hearted. What a good child. His face was thin, and it was obvious that he had not eaten properly.
Moreover, he was too easily satisfied. With such a bun, why did he carry it in his arms like a treasure? Thinking about that scene, Xiaoxiao felt that he was cute. It could be seen that they had suffered a lot on the way to escape. They were pitiful.
She leaned over and said generously, "If you like it, I'll make it for you in the future. I guarantee it'll be even better than this. Eat as much as you want!"
Rong Yan was stunned for a moment. After saying that, Xiaoxiao returned to her brothers' side. She had already started thinking about the process of kneading the dough. She had eaten too many steamed buns mixed with chaff these days and was sick of it.
On the way home, Ning Erlang discovered that his mother's embroidery was sold at a high price, and his sister had even taken on more money-making work for his mother. The three of them laughed non-stop along the way. Ning Erlang was even lucky enough to find a nest of bird eggs, which Xiaoxiao reserved for tomorrow's breakfast steamed egg custard.
It was Rong Yan's first time hearing such a simple conversation, so he also listened. After listening to Xiaoxiao's recipe, he turned around and glanced at Yun Yi. Yun Yi felt that it was not difficult to steam an egg, so he nodded confidently.
There were also eggs at home. These days, they often make boiled eggs. They could eat, but they were tired of eating them.
Before separating, Rong Yan gave them other buns. When they opened it, it was still a meat bun. He said, "This is for Uncle and Auntie. Thank you for taking care of us these few days. I didn't do anything for you, so how can I let you suffer for nothing?"
He emphasized the words "I don't deserve to be rewarded for nothing" and "I'm not related to you". After saying that, he even gave Xiaoxiao a subtle look.
Rong Yan felt he had achieved his goal as they looked at each other. Xiaoxiao also thought she had now understood the meaning of Rong Yan's glance. He wanted to eat the meat buns she mentioned, right? No problem.
She nodded quietly. She felt that he knew how to pay for her hard work.
When they arrived at the door, Xiaoxiao and the other two happily pushed open the door and saw two gloomy faces. They were anxious. "Dad, Mom, what happened?"
Ning Fengnian lowered his head and didn't say anything. Madam Song sighed, "Your second aunt came over at noon."
