Chapter 68: Tragedy by whistles

It was getting late and time to prepare dinner.

The repair and remodeling of the black-and-white television set and satellite pot, Cheng Ming was going to save for next week.

Cheng Li looked at Cheng Ming, who had tied on his apron, and said in shock, “Brother, do you still know how to stir-fry? Aren’t you only able to cook instant noodles?”

“Ah, well, a little bit.”

It’s true that Cheng Ming only cooked noodles for his sister at home.

I can’t help it, I have to go to school and I don’t have much time.

Mom was at home on the weekend, and did not give Cheng Ming the opportunity to show his hand, plus Cheng Ming still had to fight with Ye Binsong, who had not met the big boss, and perhaps just the first small hurdle on the road to rebirth.

Cheng Ming skillfully started the stove and built a fire, Cheng Li sat on the bench in front of the stove, raised his hands, palms toward the mouth of the stove, couldn’t help but squint his eyes and let out a comfortable murmur, “It’s so warm.”

However, the current season is not suitable for roasting fire, after staying in front of the stove for a while, Cheng Li couldn’t stand it and went outside to blow the wind, the job of watching the fire was still given to Zhao Ren.

After a while, I don’t know whether it was because she was bored being alone outside or for some other reason, Cheng Li ran into the kitchen again and hugged Cheng Ming directly from behind.

“What?”

“So boring.”

Cheng Ming said with an expression of “I knew it”, “Stay away from me, I’m frying chicken nuggets, if I get splashed by the boiling hot oil, your cute little face will be spent.”

Cheng Li immediately retreated a small step back in fear and raised his arms to block his face, revealing a pair of big eyes between the gaps in his arms as he secretly observed.

Cheng Ming used a colander to fish up the golden chicken nuggets for the plate, followed by the fried croquettes.

The food that my sister likes is nothing more than fried junk food and sweets, all of which are bad for the body if you eat too much of them, among which there are meatballs as well as vegetarian meatballs in the meatballs, which is kind of a little bit of remedy made by Cheng Ming.

I had to force my sister to eat some fruits and vegetables in afterward.

“It smells so good, I’m going to turn it on.”

Cheng Li’s small hand sneaked towards the chicken nuggets and was slapped on the back of his hand by Cheng Ming.

“What are you doing brother! This is something I bought.”

I paid for it and I blew it up, right?

“Don’t grab it with your hands, use chopsticks, it’s hot now, why don’t you eat it later?”

“It is to be eaten while it is hot to be delicious, when it is cold, it becomes unpalatable, not flavorful, not crispy, but also soft, the calories have not become less at all, it is a waste of food, spoiled food.”

“Then have a piece first.”

“Yes, it’s so hot ……”

Cheng Li picked up a chicken nugget and put it in his mouth, swallowing it directly in one mouthful, so hot that he opened his mouth to exhale.

“Would Rei like a piece too?”

“I’ll pass.” Zhao Ren shook her head and politely refused.

Don’t means yes.

While Zhao Ren wasn’t an arrogant sort of troublesome personality, a lot of the time covering her words in turn did just that.

“Come and have one, and help me taste how it tastes?”

Cheng Ming directly picked up a chicken nugget and fed it to Zhao Ren.

Somewhat at a loss for words, Zhao Ren ruffled her sideburns and peeked over her head to take a small, slow bite.

“Yummy.”

“Want another piece?”

“Really don’t.”

Flattered, Cho Rei shook her head frantically, her single ponytail swinging around.

Cheng Li huffed and puffed up his cheeks, “Brother, you’re treating them differently.”

“How am I treated differently?”

“I can only eat one piece and she can eat many, many pieces, where is the difference.”

“But she only ate one piece, too.”

Letting her sister eat less was for her own good, and letting Zhao Ren eat more was also for her own good. But to say this to her sister, her straight-brained brain couldn’t understand it, right?

“But she got to choose whether or not to eat the second piece, and I didn’t.”

“Then do you want a second piece?” Cheng Ming asked with a smile.

“Of course I’m going to eat it.”

“Xiao Ren eat it too, if I’m the only one who eats it, my brother will say I’m greedy, if both of you eat it, it’s fine.” Cheng Li said with a thumbs up and a wink.

After Cheng Ming had fed Zhao Ren, Cheng Li fed her again.

Cheng Li contentedly put his hands in his pockets, only then realizing the lollipop he had brought with him.

“Ah yes, this is for you, be good and eat later oh, you can’t stop eating just because you ate a lollipop.” Cheng Li imitated Cheng Ming’s tone and said.

“It feels like having another sister.” Cheng Li said as he stroked Zhao Ren’s head.

“Leigh, do you want a sister?”

“My sister, isn’t that the same as my brother’s sister, and that I don’t want!”

Cheng Li hugged Zhao Ren’s neck and rubbed his chin against her hair and said, “But friends can.”

The compatibility of the two seems to be good, which is a good sign.

It was dusk, and the sun was setting in the west.

Zhao Lei returned home carrying two bottles of coke, this was what Cheng Ming entrusted him to buy, of course he could have bought it himself, it’s just that Zhao Lei spent his own earned money to buy it, it’s very meaningful.

“Back so early? Just in time for dinner then.”

You don’t have to keep the dish warm in the back of the pan, it will keep the flavor.

A sip of coke and a bite of chicken nuggets or croquettes, it’s like heaven. Is this heaven?

Cheng Li burped and showed a cozy expression.

“Your rice hasn’t moved at all, don’t just focus on drinking coke and eating vegetables.” Cheng Ming knocked on the table and said, “Look at Zhao Ren, people are adding a second bowl of rice and you’ve only taken two bites.”

“Huh ……” Feeling something furry brushing against the side of her foot, Cheng Li’s body trembled slightly and winced, looking under the table.

Burrowing under the table is a groundhog.

“Ah ah, brother, there’s a dog.” Cheng Li stood on top of the bench and hugged Cheng Ming’s shoulder and shouted.

“I saw it too, it’s a rhubarb, I think it smelled the meat and ran over.”

This earth dog is none other than the village stray dog, Rhubarb, with his tail wagging, pampering himself and wanting food.

Zhao Si picks up the broom and is about to chase the dog away, Cheng Ming stops him in a hurry and snatches the broom, saying that it would be better to let him just come.

It would be sad if Rhubarb was swept out of the house like that.

Cheng Ming sized up a bowl of rice, poured the braised pork gravy, and walked towards the house.

Shoo–

Cheng Ming whistled, and the rhubarb really followed and ran out, Cheng Ming poured the rice onto the smooth stone outside, acting as its table, and Cheng Ming loaded out the bones on the table for the rhubarb to nibble on as well.

Attracted by the aroma of the rice were also the free-range domestic chickens, which were scared off by the rhubarb’s roar.

Listening to Cheng Ming’s whistling, Cheng Li, who had drunk a lot of coke, covered his belly and his urge to urinate surged.

“Ah, I need to pee, Ren, where’s the restroom?”

“I’ll take you.”

In fact, Zhao Ren wanted to go to the restroom after hearing the whistling sound, not only Coke, but she also drank a lot of tomato and egg soup.

Zhao Lei’s family does not really have a modern toilet, there is no septic tank, the use of urine buckets.

The piss buckets were in the dead space at the end of the corner, there were two of them, they smelled like piss from a distance and the buckets looked dirty.

Cheng Li, who had never used a urinal at all, was completely unable to imagine the scene of his little butt sitting on the edge of such a barrel, Cheng Li covered his nose and turned around, wanting to leave, but doing so would be too rude.

Zhao Ren had grown up with this, and pressed on without any extra thoughts, directly took off his pants and sat on the edge of the bucket, and soon after there was the sound of pattering water.

Zhao Ren finished relieving herself, put on her pants, and looked at Cheng Li in a puzzled manner, asking, “Don’t you have to pee? Are you embarrassed to go to the toilet with two people? Then I’ll go wash my hands first.”

Cheng Li could only nod slightly, but when Zhao Ren left, she still didn’t have the courage to sit on the bucket and could only pretend to wash her hands as if she had already peed.

Ooohhhh, my stomach is so bloated, even the chicken nuggets and meatballs don’t smell good anymore, and I don’t dare to drink the coke, it’s all my brother’s fault.

And at the moment, Cheng Ming was watching the dog eat.
