What about the revenge line? [Rebirth]
Chapter 29
"Brother, where's the cake?"
Li Huaixin stretched his neck to look in, but he couldn't find the shadow of the cake from the top to the bottom, and said disappointedly: "There is no cake."
Li Huaicheng was also very surprised. He had already greeted Aunt Wang, and no one else would go in the general kitchen. Why did the cake he put in the refrigerator disappear like this.
"The cake...is gone." Li Huaicheng hugged Li Huaixin who was about to cry, and licked his lips in embarrassment: "Did I already eat the cake today? Eating too much cake is not good for the teeth. Why don't you come back again next time?" For egg rolls?"
"Egg Roll doesn't eat cake, Egg Roll just wants to eat the cake made by brother." Li Huaixin pursed her mouth, looking like she was about to cry again.
Li Huaicheng glanced at the ingredients in the refrigerator, had a flash of inspiration, and quickly said: "Brother, make egg rolls for the egg rolls, okay? They are egg rolls that the egg rolls have never eaten before. Only eat the egg rolls alone."
"Egg rolls?" Li Huaixin tilted his head, "Only for one person to eat egg rolls?"
Li Huaicheng nodded, carried Li Huaixin to the dining room, dragged her baby chair to the kitchen, put her in the baby chair, and said with a smile, "Sit here obediently and watch your brother make egg rolls, how about it?"
Li Huaixin nodded vigorously, shaking his legs excitedly, and said in a childish voice, "Brother, come on."
Li Huaicheng smiled at her, turned around and unbuttoned his cuffs, rolled them to his elbows, and looked at the knives on the table with some emotion. He actually likes cooking, otherwise he would not have chosen to open a restaurant in his last life, but he never had the opportunity after rebirth. Entering the kitchen, standing here now, there is a sense of familiarity that he has not seen for a long time, which makes him very happy.
He took out eggs and fresh pork belly from the refrigerator, and took out several small bowls, and put the estimated amount of green onion, ginger, and raw powder into the bowls for preparation, and scanned the places where the seasonings were located. Before putting the pork belly on the cutting board, he first cut the pork belly into several pieces of the same size, then cut it into thin strips along the grain of the meat, and then sprinkled some cooking wine on the pork belly.
Li Huaicheng used the back of the knife to gently dent the meat, turned his wrist, and the kitchen knife in his hand moved up and down very regularly. While chopping the meat, Li Huaicheng quickly grabbed the green onions and ginger from the small bowl next to him. Put it into the meat, and add a little other seasoning from time to time, so that the taste of the meat and the seasoning can be more fully integrated.
The meat on the chopping board was chopped in just 2 minutes. Li Huaicheng put it into a transparent glass bowl, took a pair of chopsticks and finally added a little seasoning. Carroting Li Huaixin, he chopped the carrot and broccoli very finely and added the meat filling Mix well.
After the meat stuffing was finished, Li Huaicheng began to prepare the egg skins. He first cracked four eggs into a bowl, added a pinch of fine salt and stirred them up. Pour in half of the egg liquid, stir it up and push it aside before the egg liquid is fully cooked, quickly pour the other half into the bowl, spread it evenly, and turn off the heat quickly when the egg liquid solidifies, Pour the egg skins into the prepared large disc.
After the egg skin cooled, Li Huaicheng first put a thin layer of meat filling on the uneven egg skin at the edge, and then the meat filling on the back was much thicker, and carefully rolled up the egg skin, just rolled into a It has a round and lovely appearance. The egg skin in the center is rich and light in color, which is very harmonious with the meat filling. The outer layer of egg skin is darker and thick enough to wrap the meat filling. It can be seen before it is put into the steamer. After steaming, it makes people move their index fingers.
Put the egg roll in a bowl, pour a little soy sauce and light soy sauce on top, put some homemade chopped chili peppers on it, and put him in the steamer. After washing his hands, Li Huaicheng walked to Li Huaixin, hugged her and said: "We can eat after a while. Let's go out to play for a while and eat when we come back."
Li Huaixin shook his head and said seriously: "No, what if the egg roll is lost? Brother, let's wait for the egg roll here."
As a foodie, Li Huaixin's determination was very strong. When she said she wanted to wait, she sat in the baby chair quietly and stared at the steamer in the kitchen for ten minutes. Even when the scent wafted out, she was very calm and just swallowed Drooling asked Li Huaicheng: "Brother, are the egg rolls ready to eat?"
For a moment, Li Huaicheng couldn't figure out who the egg roll in Li Huaixin's mouth was referring to. After hesitating for a few seconds without answering, he saw the egg roll struggling to get out of the baby chair.
Li Huaicheng quickly hugged Li Huaixin, and was about to remind her that this is very dangerous when he heard a voice behind him:
"Brother, are you eating delicious food? It smells so good!"
"What, it smells so good."
"Chengcheng, what are you doing here?"
Li Huaicheng turned around, and saw Li's father, Li's mother, several guests and their children appearing in the restaurant, followed by Li Huaijin and He Xiang.
"That's a birthday present for egg rolls." Li Huaixin hugged Li Huaicheng's neck and raised her chin with a proud face, looking down at the drooling children below, emphatically in a milky voice: "Only give the egg rolls to eat alone. birthday present!"
Li's mother was very surprised. She glanced at the steamer in the kitchen that smelled more delicious as she approached, and asked, "Chengcheng, did you make the things in the kitchen?"
Li Huaicheng nodded, "I originally made a cake for the egg roll in the morning and put it in the refrigerator, but when I came here just now, it was missing, so I can only compensate her with an egg roll."
Li's father pretended to be casual and asked: "It smells good, have you done a lot?"
"Not much." Li Huaicheng said, "I just made two volumes."
"Since only..."
As soon as Li's father opened his mouth, a chubby little boy jumped up excitedly, ran to Li Huaicheng's lap, hugged his thigh, raised his head and said, "Brother, I want to eat!"
Seeing someone taking the lead, the other children spoke one after another, and joined in with childish voices one by one: "Brother, I want to eat too!"
Seeing several children, Li Huaixin hugged Li Huaicheng's legs one after another, bowed his head and said to them with a puffy face, "This is my brother! You are not allowed to hug! You are also not allowed to eat my egg rolls." !"
"I want to eat!"
"No! That's mine!"
"I want to eat I want to eat!"
"I won't give you food!"
The unnutritious conversation continued. Li Huaixin and a group of children refused to let anyone else go. The adults standing aside had no intention of meddling, and they all watched them arguing with smiles on their faces.
Li Huaixin was alone, no matter how loud or how many they were, seeing them not only arguing with her, but also hugging her brother's leg and wanting to share her birthday present, she couldn't help feeling sad, and burst into tears come out.
"I don't want woooooo..." Li Huaixin buried his head into Li Huaicheng's neck, "That was my hiccup, a personal gift, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Li Huaicheng quickly followed Li Huaixin's back, and comforted him: "I can't eat so many egg rolls alone, can I? Let's share some with other children, shall we?"
Li Huaixin shook his head vigorously, crying even more sadly: "Brother hiccup...I don't want to..."
Seeing this, Li's mother came over and persuaded softly: "Children should learn to share. Only by learning to share can they make good friends. Can you give some egg rolls to others?" She reached out to take it from Li Huaicheng's hand. Li Huaixin.
Li Huaixin hugged Li Huaicheng's neck tightly and did not let go, buried his head even tighter, crying out of breath.
"Brother only feeds the egg rolls to one person." Li Huaicheng followed Li Huaixin's anger, and whispered in her ear: "Only feed the egg rolls to one person, no one will give them to anyone, the egg rolls will stop crying."
Li Huaixin raised her head sobbing, "Only give the egg rolls?"
"Only give the egg roll to one person."
Seeing Li's mother's expression of disapproval, Li Huaicheng turned his gaze to the other guests and smiled apologetically, "I'm very sorry, I didn't think carefully when I made the egg roll just now, and I only made it for Huai Xin alone, maybe I can't do it today." I have given it to other children, and I will make a few more tomorrow so that people can send them to the homes of uncles and aunts to apologize to everyone, is that okay?"
The people who came were all close friends of Li's father and Li's mother, so naturally they wouldn't compete with a child for food, and it was just a joke at first, they all laughed when they heard Li Huaicheng say this, and said: "Of course, That aunt will be waiting for the clear egg rolls tomorrow."
Someone else joked: "Chengcheng is so handsome and so good at cooking, why don't you consider my daughter, who is now a freshman in Huaqing, and is about your age."
Several adults teased Li Huaicheng one by one, and said goodbye one by one after seeing that it was getting late.
When Li's father and Li's mother sent their friends away, Li Huaicheng's egg rolls were just served on the table. After the pot was lifted, the aroma spread all over the restaurant quickly and unobtrusively, making them unable to resist walking in.
Li Huaicheng was holding a small egg roll and carefully cooling Li Huaixin, while Li Huaixin looked at the egg roll in Li Huaicheng's hand without blinking.
Father Li frowned and looked at Li Huaijin and He Xiang who were eating, and said dissatisfiedly, "That's a birthday present specially made by your younger brother for your younger sister, and you guys competed with her to eat it no matter what."
Li Huaijin looked up, and said lightly: "I want to eat the egg rolls, and she said she wants to share with her brother."
He Xiang ate so much that he couldn't move his mouth, nodded again and again, and stuffed another piece into his mouth.
Seeing this, Li's father turned his attention to the egg rolls that had been cut into small circles on the plate, inhaled the rich aroma in his mouth and nose, approached Li Huaixin, bent down and asked, "Can I share some egg rolls with Dad?" ?"
Li Huaicheng's smile froze, he didn't expect Li's father to compete with his daughter for food.
Father Li didn't seem to notice Li Huaicheng's gaze, and continued to look at Li Huaixin.
Li Huaixin nodded, Xiaopang pointed generously at the fragrant egg rolls on the table, and said, "Dad, eat."
Father Li nodded in satisfaction, said that the egg rolls are really good, then consciously went to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks, sat aside and started eating.
Li's mother saw that the restaurant was full of people eating, sighed and sat on the side and said: "You just protect her, she will go to kindergarten soon, what will happen to her domineering temper then."
"Especially you, Chengcheng." Li's mother turned her eyes to Li Huaicheng who was feeding Li Huaixin again, and said disapprovingly: "There were so many people just now, each of these people on the table is enough, but you...you all spoil her like this , She will go to kindergarten in a few days, and she has a domineering personality, what if she can't make friends?"
Li Huaicheng put a few egg rolls into Li Huaixin's small bowl, and said softly, "Eat by yourself, be careful not to burn it."
After speaking, he got up and apologized to Li's mother: "I'm sorry."
Li Huaicheng's neat apology made Li's mother swallow her next words again, and she sighed after a few seconds, and said softly: "Mom doesn't blame you, you are an older brother, so you will subconsciously protect your sister first, but if in the future If you're not here, Egg Roll will still be like this outside alone, and she will always suffer, you can't protect her like this for the rest of her life."
Li Huaicheng lowered his eyes and apologized obediently again. Li's mother looked at his fair face and straight nose, and for some reason felt a little astringent in her heart, bit her lips and said: "Okay, you haven't eaten for so long, They've been eaten by them, so you should eat some yourself."
Li Huaicheng was slightly surprised. He raised his head and saw the red corners of Li's mother's eyes, and then turned his eyes away. He picked up a few egg rolls and put them in a bowl and handed them to Li's mother. He smiled and said to Li's mother, "Mom, please have a taste."
Li's mother took the egg roll that Li Huaicheng handed over, with a smile on her face again, she opened her eyes in surprise after taking a bite, and whispered, "It's delicious."
Li Huaicheng smiled and started eating himself.
After eating, He Xiangyi still couldn't get enough of it and said: "Chengcheng, your cooking skills are really good, it's even more delicious than Aunt Wang's, the meat still has juice flowing out after taking a bite, tsk tsk tsk, it's really delicious! "
Li Huaijin also put down his chopsticks and asked, "How can you cook so well?"
Li Huaicheng laughed and said: "Since I was six years old, I have basically cooked our meals, and the taste has improved over time. In fact, it is not as delicious as you said, but I changed the way. It’s fresher, so you’ll feel a little bit special.”
After the words fell, Li Huaicheng found that the restaurant suddenly became quiet.
Except for Li Huaixin who was still eating slowly, the other four had different expressions.
Li Huaicheng belatedly went over what he just said, and then realized that what he just said might have touched the Li family's sadness, so he smiled to ease the atmosphere: "Actually, I really like cooking. At the beginning, I still thought about cooking. In the future, if I can’t find a job with poor grades, I can open a restaurant and cook food to support myself, and I will be very happy to see that others like to eat what I cook.”
When Li Huaicheng started talking, he really did not expect the reaction of the Li family, because many people asked him this question in his previous life, so he just heard Li Huaijin's question, and he reflexively answered that he said countless times in his previous life Said it, didn't think much about it at all.
He Xiang saw Li Huaicheng's embarrassment, smiled and cooperated: "So you like cooking so much, next time we have a barbecue, you will be the one who barbecues."
However, He Xiang and Li Huaicheng's stiff cooperation did not let this matter go, Li's mother covered her mouth and asked tremblingly: "You are only six years old and the Jiang family wants you to cook?"
"Is that scar from the oil on your arm from that time?" Li Huaijin asked.
"Other than these, what else do they want you to do?" Father Li continued to ask.
Li Huaicheng licked his dry lips, he didn't know how to answer, his childhood in the previous life was far away from him, and his childhood experience had already been buried, and now he suddenly wanted to dig it out, let him recall a little bit, for him It's not such a pleasant process to say, and even if the Li family knew about it now, it wouldn't be of any use.
"It's nothing." Li Huaicheng said with a smile, facing the eyes of the three people, "That's all."
Li's mother wanted to ask again, but Chu Qi's cry and the door knocking suddenly came from upstairs—it didn't sound like a roar, but more like a wailing after being injured.
Li Huaicheng suddenly got up and ran upstairs, Li Huaijin and He Xiang followed closely behind, Li's father and Li's mother looked at each other, Li's father said: "Take Huaixin and wait here, I will go up and have a look."
Li's mother looked worriedly at the direction where Li's father was leaving, and held Li Huaixin tightly in her arms. After waiting for a while, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Huaikang was also upstairs. If the bad guys came in, Jiang Huaikang might be in danger...
Several people went upstairs and saw this scene: Li Huaicheng's door was open, Chu Qi was biting Jiang Huaikang's trouser leg at the door, and Jiang Huaikang was holding the doorknob to close the door.
bang——
Li Huaicheng rushed over to open the door with one hand, kicked Jiang Huaikang to the ground the moment his hand left the doorknob.
These two incidents happened within a few seconds at the same time. He wanted to react when he saw Li Huaicheng squatting and inspecting Chu Qi's head and its teeth. His face was distressed and violent like he had never seen before. Jiang Huaikang fell to the ground and clutched his stomach, shrinking into a ball.
When Chu Qi saw Li Huaicheng, he relaxed and lay obediently on the ground for him to examine. Li Huaicheng trembled when he touched its broken front legs and hands.
Just now, the violence towards Jiang Huaikang in his mind was overwhelmed by the distress towards Chuqi. Li Huaicheng carefully hugged Chuqi and ran out. He ran to the stairs before suddenly reacting. He turned back to Li Huaijin and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, take me there quickly. At the pet hospital, Chu Qi broke his leg."
Suddenly, Li Huaijin glanced at Jiang Huaikang lying on the ground, followed his footsteps and walked out quickly.
When Li's father went upstairs, he saw Li Huaicheng and Li Huaijin brothers running downstairs in a hurry. When they passed by them, he was stunned before reacting. He went upstairs in three steps and saw Jiang Huaikang lying on the ground. Frowning, he asked He Xiang: "What happened? Where are Huai Cheng and Huai Jin going? Why are you holding Chu Qi?"
"When we came up, we saw Jiang Huaikang in Huaicheng's room. Chu Qi was biting Jiang Huaikang's trouser leg to prevent him from leaving. Huaicheng found that it was injured and asked Huaijin to take him to the pet hospital."
Seeing He Xiang's hesitant expression, Father Li patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "I see, Xiao Xiang, I've worked hard on you today, you should go back first."
He Xiang glanced at Jiang Huaikang who was lying on the ground with his stomach in his arms, and said goodbye to Father Li: "Then I'll go back first, see you again, uncle."
Li's mother sent He Xiang away and went upstairs, and found Li's father standing aside and Jiang Huaikang who was still huddled on the ground, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"
Father Li's eyes were heavy, and he calmed down the coldness on his face when he saw Mother Li and Li Huaixin in her arms, and said, "It's nothing, Jiang Huaikang seems to have fallen at the gate of Huaicheng, Chu Qi was injured a little, Huaijin sent them off Went to the hospital."
"Why did Huaikang suddenly fall?" Li's mother wondered, "And how did Chu Qi get injured? Is it serious?"
Li's father pursed his lips, looked at his wife's innocent and worried expression, sighed in his heart, and said, "It's not serious, it's late, and Aunt Cao has also asked for leave at night, you can take the egg roll to wash and sleep. "
Li's mother looked at Jiang Huaikang who was on the ground, and said hesitantly: "I think Huaikang seems to be very uncomfortable. Do you want to call Dr. Li to Huaikang?"
"No need, Mom." Jiang Huaikang stood up slowly, and under Li's father's cold gaze, he forced a smile and said: "I was not careful, I'm fine, you take my sister to sleep."
Although Li's mother is innocent and innocent, it doesn't mean she is stupid. Li's father's perfunctory words and Jiang Huaikang's obviously painful expression prove that things are not as simple as they said.
Thinking of the barking of the dog and the sound of the door closing just now, Mother Li frowned and said, "What's the matter? Why did Huaikang fall, and why did Chu Qi get injured? Also, why did the door of Huaicheng's room open?"
On the other side, Li Huaijin's car has already left Li's house.
Li Huaicheng carefully touched Chu Qi's head, felt its trembling body, and urged with red eyes: "Brother, drive faster."
Li Huaijin caught a glimpse of Li Huaicheng's panicked expression from the corner of his eye, stepped on the gas pedal and comforted him in a warm voice: "Chu Qi is fine, it should just be a broken leg, I'll go to the hospital for a minor surgery and rest for a while and I'll be fine."
Li Huaicheng nodded indiscriminately, he didn't listen to Li Huaijin's comfort at all, and his mind was already in chaos.
For others, Chu Qi may be just a dog, but for Li Huaicheng, Chu Qi is the only relative who has always been by his side for two lifetimes.
Chu Qi's body trembled unconsciously because of the pain, and his throat whimpered from time to time because of the pain, Li Huaicheng comforted him incoherently: "It's okay, it's okay, the pain will stop soon, Chu Qi, good boy..."
Chu Qi seemed to see Li Huaicheng's distress and panic. It stuck out its tongue and licked Li Huaicheng, and gave a low cry, as if to comfort him.
Lowering his head to meet Chu Qi's dark eyes, tears could not hold back and fell from his eye sockets, drop by drop fell on Chu Qi's soft hair, self-blame and guilt and killing intent towards Jiang Huaikang rolled in Li Huaicheng's heart, even at the moment of rebirth he He had never hated Jiang Huaikang so much, violent thoughts were churning in his mind, and he even had the idea of letting everything end like this.
"arrive!"
Before the car stopped, Li Huaijin saw Li Huaicheng get out of the car with Chu Qi in his arms and run towards the pet hospital.
Li Huaixin stretched his neck to look in, but he couldn't find the shadow of the cake from the top to the bottom, and said disappointedly: "There is no cake."
Li Huaicheng was also very surprised. He had already greeted Aunt Wang, and no one else would go in the general kitchen. Why did the cake he put in the refrigerator disappear like this.
"The cake...is gone." Li Huaicheng hugged Li Huaixin who was about to cry, and licked his lips in embarrassment: "Did I already eat the cake today? Eating too much cake is not good for the teeth. Why don't you come back again next time?" For egg rolls?"
"Egg Roll doesn't eat cake, Egg Roll just wants to eat the cake made by brother." Li Huaixin pursed her mouth, looking like she was about to cry again.
Li Huaicheng glanced at the ingredients in the refrigerator, had a flash of inspiration, and quickly said: "Brother, make egg rolls for the egg rolls, okay? They are egg rolls that the egg rolls have never eaten before. Only eat the egg rolls alone."
"Egg rolls?" Li Huaixin tilted his head, "Only for one person to eat egg rolls?"
Li Huaicheng nodded, carried Li Huaixin to the dining room, dragged her baby chair to the kitchen, put her in the baby chair, and said with a smile, "Sit here obediently and watch your brother make egg rolls, how about it?"
Li Huaixin nodded vigorously, shaking his legs excitedly, and said in a childish voice, "Brother, come on."
Li Huaicheng smiled at her, turned around and unbuttoned his cuffs, rolled them to his elbows, and looked at the knives on the table with some emotion. He actually likes cooking, otherwise he would not have chosen to open a restaurant in his last life, but he never had the opportunity after rebirth.

"What, it smells so good."
"Chengcheng, what are you doing here?"
Li Huaicheng turned around, and saw Li's father, Li's mother, several guests and their children appearing in the restaurant, followed by Li Huaijin and He Xiang.
"That's a birthday present for egg rolls." Li Huaixin hugged Li Huaicheng's neck and raised her chin with a proud face, looking down at the drooling children below, emphatically in a milky voice: "Only give the egg rolls to eat alone. birthday present!"
Li's mother was very surprised. She glanced at the steamer in the kitchen that smelled more delicious as she approached, and asked, "Chengcheng, did you make the things in the kitchen?"

The unnutritious conversation continued. Li Huaixin and a group of children refused to let anyone else go. The adults standing aside had no intention of meddling, and they all watched them arguing with smiles on their faces.

Li Huaixin shook his head vigorously, crying even more sadly: "Brother hiccup...I don't want to..."
Seeing this, Li's mother came over and persuaded softly: "Children should learn to share. Only by learning to share can they make good friends. Can you give some egg rolls to others?" She reached out to take it from Li Huaicheng's hand. Li Huaixin.

Father Li didn't seem to notice Li Huaicheng's gaze, and continued to look at Li Huaixin.
Li Huaixin nodded, Xiaopang pointed generously at the fragrant egg rolls on the table, and said, "Dad, eat."
Father Li nodded in satisfaction, said that the egg rolls are really good, then consciously went to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks, sat aside and started eating.
Li's mother saw that the restaurant was full of people eating, sighed and sat on the side and said: "You just protect her, she will go to kindergarten soon, what will happen to her domineering temper then."
"Especially you, Chengcheng." Li's mother turned her eyes to Li Huaicheng who was feeding Li Huaixin again, and said disapprovingly: "There were so many people just now, each of these people on the table is enough, but you...you all spoil her like this , She will go to kindergarten in a few days, and she has a domineering personality, what if she can't make friends?"
Li Huaicheng put a few egg rolls into Li Huaixin's small bowl, and said softly, "Eat by yourself, be careful not to burn it."
After speaking, he got up and apologized to Li's mother: "I'm sorry."
Li Huaicheng's neat apology made Li's mother swallow her next words again, and she sighed after a few seconds, and said softly: "Mom doesn't blame you, you are an older brother, so you will subconsciously protect your sister first, but if in the future If you're not here, Egg Roll will still be like this outside alone, and she will always suffer, you can't protect her like this for the rest of her life."
Li Huaicheng lowered his eyes and apologized obediently again. Li's mother looked at his fair face and straight nose, and for some reason felt a little astringent in her heart, bit her lips and said: "Okay, you haven't eaten for so long, They've been eaten by them, so you should eat some yourself."
Li Huaicheng was slightly surprised. He raised his head and saw the red corners of Li's mother's eyes, and then turned his eyes away. He picked up a few egg rolls and put them in a bowl and handed them to Li's mother. He smiled and said to Li's mother, "Mom, please have a taste."
Li's mother took the egg roll that Li Huaicheng handed over, with a smile on her face again, she opened her eyes in surprise after taking a bite, and whispered, "It's delicious."
Li Huaicheng smiled and started eating himself.
After eating, He Xiangyi still couldn't get enough of it and said: "Chengcheng, your cooking skills are really good, it's even more delicious than Aunt Wang's, the meat still has juice flowing out after taking a bite, tsk tsk tsk, it's really delicious! "
Li Huaijin also put down his chopsticks and asked, "How can you cook so well?"
Li Huaicheng laughed and said: "Since I was six years old, I have basically cooked our meals, and the taste has improved over time. In fact, it is not as delicious as you said, but I changed the way. It’s fresher, so you’ll feel a little bit special.”
After the words fell, Li Huaicheng found that the restaurant suddenly became quiet.
Except for Li Huaixin who was still eating slowly, the other four had different expressions.
Li Huaicheng belatedly went over what he just said, and then realized that what he just said might have touched the Li family's sadness, so he smiled to ease the atmosphere: "Actually, I really like cooking. At the beginning, I still thought about cooking. In the future, if I can’t find a job with poor grades, I can open a restaurant and cook food to support myself, and I will be very happy to see that others like to eat what I cook.”
When Li Huaicheng started talking, he really did not expect the reaction of the Li family, because many people asked him this question in his previous life, so he just heard Li Huaijin's question, and he reflexively answered that he said countless times in his previous life Said it, didn't think much about it at all.
He Xiang saw Li Huaicheng's embarrassment, smiled and cooperated: "So you like cooking so much, next time we have a barbecue, you will be the one who barbecues."
However, He Xiang and Li Huaicheng's stiff cooperation did not let this matter go, Li's mother covered her mouth and asked tremblingly: "You are only six years old and the Jiang family wants you to cook?"
"Is that scar from the oil on your arm from that time?" Li Huaijin asked.
"Other than these, what else do they want you to do?" Father Li continued to ask.
Li Huaicheng licked his dry lips, he didn't know how to answer, his childhood in the previous life was far away from him, and his childhood experience had already been buried, and now he suddenly wanted to dig it out, let him recall a little bit, for him It's not such a pleasant process to say, and even if the Li family knew about it now, it wouldn't be of any use.
"It's nothing." Li Huaicheng said with a smile, facing the eyes of the three people, "That's all."
Li's mother wanted to ask again, but Chu Qi's cry and the door knocking suddenly came from upstairs—it didn't sound like a roar, but more like a wailing after being injured.
Li Huaicheng suddenly got up and ran upstairs, Li Huaijin and He Xiang followed closely behind, Li's father and Li's mother looked at each other, Li's father said: "Take Huaixin and wait here, I will go up and have a look."
Li's mother looked worriedly at the direction where Li's father was leaving, and held Li Huaixin tightly in her arms. After waiting for a while, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Huaikang was also upstairs. If the bad guys came in, Jiang Huaikang might be in danger...
Several people went upstairs and saw this scene: Li Huaicheng's door was open, Chu Qi was biting Jiang Huaikang's trouser leg at the door, and Jiang Huaikang was holding the doorknob to close the door.
bang——
Li Huaicheng rushed over to open the door with one hand, kicked Jiang Huaikang to the ground the moment his hand left the doorknob.
These two incidents happened within a few seconds at the same time. He wanted to react when he saw Li Huaicheng squatting and inspecting Chu Qi's head and its teeth. His face was distressed and violent like he had never seen before. Jiang Huaikang fell to the ground and clutched his stomach, shrinking into a ball.
When Chu Qi saw Li Huaicheng, he relaxed and lay obediently on the ground for him to examine. Li Huaicheng trembled when he touched its broken front legs and hands.
Just now, the violence towards Jiang Huaikang in his mind was overwhelmed by the distress towards Chuqi. Li Huaicheng carefully hugged Chuqi and ran out. He ran to the stairs before suddenly reacting. He turned back to Li Huaijin and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, take me there quickly. At the pet hospital, Chu Qi broke his leg."
Suddenly, Li Huaijin glanced at Jiang Huaikang lying on the ground, followed his footsteps and walked out quickly.
When Li's father went upstairs, he saw Li Huaicheng and Li Huaijin brothers running downstairs in a hurry. When they passed by them, he was stunned before reacting. He went upstairs in three steps and saw Jiang Huaikang lying on the ground. Frowning, he asked He Xiang: "What happened? Where are Huai Cheng and Huai Jin going? Why are you holding Chu Qi?"
"When we came up, we saw Jiang Huaikang in Huaicheng's room. Chu Qi was biting Jiang Huaikang's trouser leg to prevent him from leaving. Huaicheng found that it was injured and asked Huaijin to take him to the pet hospital."
Seeing He Xiang's hesitant expression, Father Li patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "I see, Xiao Xiang, I've worked hard on you today, you should go back first."
He Xiang glanced at Jiang Huaikang who was lying on the ground with his stomach in his arms, and said goodbye to Father Li: "Then I'll go back first, see you again, uncle."
Li's mother sent He Xiang away and went upstairs, and found Li's father standing aside and Jiang Huaikang who was still huddled on the ground, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"
Father Li's eyes were heavy, and he calmed down the coldness on his face when he saw Mother Li and Li Huaixin in her arms, and said, "It's nothing, Jiang Huaikang seems to have fallen at the gate of Huaicheng, Chu Qi was injured a little, Huaijin sent them off Went to the hospital."
"Why did Huaikang suddenly fall?" Li's mother wondered, "And how did Chu Qi get injured? Is it serious?"
Li's father pursed his lips, looked at his wife's innocent and worried expression, sighed in his heart, and said, "It's not serious, it's late, and Aunt Cao has also asked for leave at night, you can take the egg roll to wash and sleep. "
Li's mother looked at Jiang Huaikang who was on the ground, and said hesitantly: "I think Huaikang seems to be very uncomfortable. Do you want to call Dr. Li to Huaikang?"
"No need, Mom." Jiang Huaikang stood up slowly, and under Li's father's cold gaze, he forced a smile and said: "I was not careful, I'm fine, you take my sister to sleep."
Although Li's mother is innocent and innocent, it doesn't mean she is stupid. Li's father's perfunctory words and Jiang Huaikang's obviously painful expression prove that things are not as simple as they said.
Thinking of the barking of the dog and the sound of the door closing just now, Mother Li frowned and said, "What's the matter? Why did Huaikang fall, and why did Chu Qi get injured? Also, why did the door of Huaicheng's room open?"
On the other side, Li Huaijin's car has already left Li's house.
Li Huaicheng carefully touched Chu Qi's head, felt its trembling body, and urged with red eyes: "Brother, drive faster."
Li Huaijin caught a glimpse of Li Huaicheng's panicked expression from the corner of his eye, stepped on the gas pedal and comforted him in a warm voice: "Chu Qi is fine, it should just be a broken leg, I'll go to the hospital for a minor surgery and rest for a while and I'll be fine."
Li Huaicheng nodded indiscriminately, he didn't listen to Li Huaijin's comfort at all, and his mind was already in chaos.
For others, Chu Qi may be just a dog, but for Li Huaicheng, Chu Qi is the only relative who has always been by his side for two lifetimes.
Chu Qi's body trembled unconsciously because of the pain, and his throat whimpered from time to time because of the pain, Li Huaicheng comforted him incoherently: "It's okay, it's okay, the pain will stop soon, Chu Qi, good boy..."
Chu Qi seemed to see Li Huaicheng's distress and panic. It stuck out its tongue and licked Li Huaicheng, and gave a low cry, as if to comfort him.
Lowering his head to meet Chu Qi's dark eyes, tears could not hold back and fell from his eye sockets, drop by drop fell on Chu Qi's soft hair, self-blame and guilt and killing intent towards Jiang Huaikang rolled in Li Huaicheng's heart, even at the moment of rebirth he He had never hated Jiang Huaikang so much, violent thoughts were churning in his mind, and he even had the idea of letting everything end like this.
"arrive!"
Before the car stopped, Li Huaijin saw Li Huaicheng get out of the car with Chu Qi in his arms and run towards the pet hospital.
