Chapter 427 Outdoor Hot Pot

Decided to go for a picnic in the countryside.

Delicious meals are of course a must.

Li Xiang originally wanted to be romantic and just pay the hotel chef to help cook it on the spot.

This proposal was directly rejected by Xiaodouzi.

Because the presence of an unfamiliar chef will directly destroy the happy atmosphere of a family of three.

Even Zhang Ling suggested that her father come to help.

But Xiaodouzi still firmly rejected it.

The reason is that Xiaodouzi doesn't want his elderly grandfather to be too tired.

There are also cases where children just want to take this opportunity to greedily monopolize more love from their parents.

Zhang Ling asked slightly unhappy:

"Xiaodouzi, do you have any better suggestions? If you have any, just tell me."

Xiaodouzi was waiting for this question.

There was an expectant smile on her little face and she said:

"Mom and Dad, why do you always want to hire someone to cook for us?"

Zhang Ling said:

"if not?"

The child's expectant smile became a little stronger and said:

"Xiaodouzi really hopes to eat the food you made together."

The two adults looked at each other and said "Ah" after hearing this.

To be honest, they really never thought about working together.

Make a meal for their children.

Xiaodouzi was not affected by the emotions of the two adults.

The expectant smile on the little face said with a bit of narcissism:

"Well, just thinking about it, Xiaodouzi can already feel the deliciousness of the food. Mom and Dad, can you do it?"

The two adults looked at each other for a while again.

They couldn't bear to live up to Xiaodouzi's expectations for them.

So they nodded slightly and answered in unison:

"Okay, then listen to Xiaodouzi. Mom and dad will work together to make delicious food for you."

Xiaodouzi said with a happy smile after achieving his wish:

"That's great! Mom and Dad, Xiaodouzi really loves you so much."

Li Xiang also smiled and said:

"Okay. Xiaodouzi, calm down a little. Look, the uncles and aunties passing by are all looking at us."

Xiaodouzi continued to shake his head happily and said with a bit of stubbornness:

"No! Xiaodouzi just wants them to know. Xiaodouzi will become the happiest person in the world after he has his parents."

Zhang Ling heard this and said for Xiaodouzi:

"Okay! It doesn't seem to be a big deal to make the child happy."

Li Xiang thought about it for a moment before nodding and acquiescing to Zhang Ling's words.

Yes!

Doesn’t Xiaodouzi’s behavior reflect the lively appearance that children of this age should have?

Appropriate lively and lovely behavior.

Not only will it not cause confusion to passers-by.

On the contrary, it will make passers-by smile with admiration and envy when they see Xiaodouzi.

Envy here.

It was because they were envious of the fact that the couple had such a lively and lovely daughter, Xiaodouzi.

Li Xiang, who was still sober, took the initiative to remind him:

"Then shall we go to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients?"

Zhang Ling nodded in agreement with Li Xiang's reminder.

The family of three then discussed what to eat for the picnic.

And the topic of where to go for a picnic.

period.

Wu Man stood aside and watched, ignored.

Perhaps only those who have experienced being indifferent can truly detect the same indifferent soul in time.

So Xiaodouzi thoughtfully invited Wu Man to participate.

He also thoughtfully pestered Wu Man to tell him the food he wanted to eat.

This is probably one of the reasons why Xiaodouzi did not regard Wu Man as an outsider.

You can empathize with your soul.

Even though Muzi brought many favorite gifts to Xiaodouzi.

When Muzi mentioned that he wanted to take care of Chen Jian in the hospital, he could not come to Xiaodouzi.

Xiaodouzi didn't feel any pity for this.

You can even see an expression on his little face that doesn't want Muzi to come.

Maybe it is because Muzi’s behavior shows that Muzi likes Chen Jian.

As a result, Xiaodouzi's love for Muzi dropped off a cliff.

You know, Xiaodouzi never really liked Chen Jian.

If the little guy wasn't sensible, he wouldn't want to embarrass Zhang Ling.

She has long been like a willful little princess, scorning Chen Jian every time he comes.

The more direct way is to express one's dissatisfaction and expel the customer.

But for Xiaodouzi, these can only be thought about casually in his mind.

Because Xiaodouzi knows that she is neither a princess nor a princess.

So naturally you can't imitate the princess's temperament.

If you offend your parents, you will lose more than you gain.

Xiaodouzi did not want her hard-won happy life as a family of three to be ruined by herself.

People should learn to cherish the life in front of them.

Xiaodouzi has lived in the orphanage for many years.

She also understands how precious her current family of three is.

I'm afraid this is the only thing that really doesn't play house.

Only then will people understand the fundamental reason why home is precious.

Wu Man pays special attention to Xiaodouzi.

So he willingly helped them pick up the ingredients they purchased.

This made Li Xiang, a man, feel sincerely embarrassed.

He took the initiative to take over the heavy responsibility from Wu Man.

Talk about the physical work of carrying things.

Let this man do it.

Never thought about it.

Wu Man said stubbornly like a man:

"I have a lot of strength. If I don't use it, I will feel uncomfortable all over..."

Li Xiang felt a little puzzled.

What strength can a woman have?

But he still took Zhang Ling's intuitive feelings into consideration.

Those who did not continue to struggle with Wu Man insisted on helping carry the things.

Zhang Ling seemed to understand Wu Man's true inner thoughts.

After failing to persuade Wu Manrang to agree to Li Xiang's request to share the burden, he was speechless.

Suburbs.

Next to a beautiful river.

Walking on the rocks in the shallows.

The rocks shook with every step I took, like playing a game of whack-a-mole.

Choose the next suitable stone to step on before your body is about to collapse.

Repeat this with your feet back and forth.

Quite interesting!

Little Douzi happily jumped around under the protection of his parents.

At the same time, Xiaozui counted how many stones he had stepped on.

Happy laughter is like a cheerful nursery rhyme.

Immediately it resounded throughout the sky above the river beach.

moment!

Xu Shi discovered fish in the river while jumping around.

Xiaodouzi stopped.

He knelt quietly by the river and observed quietly.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiang suggested:

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Little Douzi, do you want to eat fish? Look, dad will go down to the river to catch two for you."

While he was talking, my father rolled up his sleeves and was already ready to take off his shoes and get into the water.

Xiaodouzi immediately shook his head to stop and said:

"Dad, no! I don't want to eat them."

Li Xiang then asked:

"why?"

Xiaodouzi raised his hand and pointed at the fish in the water and said:

"Dad, look! They seem to be a family of three."

Li Xiang understood somewhat.

But he was still curious and asked:

"How did you tell they were a family?"

Xiaodouzi explained:

"This is easy to see. There is a small fish guarding the middle of the two big fish. Does it look like mom and dad were playing skipping stones with Little Douzi just now?"

Zhang Ling glanced at Li Xiang.

He signaled to Li Xiang not to think about fishing.

At the same time, he put a hand on Xiaodouzi’s shoulder and said:

"Xiaodouzi reminded me, don't say it yet. Looking at it again, it does look very similar."

Xiaodouzi continued to nod and said:

"Mom, look, don't they look happy swimming around in the water?"

The fish in Zhang Ling's river nodded and said "hmm" twice.

Xiaodou then said:

"So Xiaodouzi doesn't want to ruin this beauty. How about you just let them live such a comfortable life in the water?"

Li Xiang felt a little aggrieved.

His original intention was for Xiaodouzi.

Now it was somehow his fault.

The mistake was that the thought of eating fish in the river should not have surfaced.

Li Xiang is still doing some mental construction on himself for this.

Seeing that Li Xiang had not answered, Zhang Ling urged:

"Hey, the child's father, why are you stunned? Didn't you hear Xiaodouzi asking you?"

Li Xiang heard the sound.

Then he woke up and quickly looked at Xiaodouzi and said:

"I originally caught fish for you. Now Xiaodouzi, if you don't want dad to catch it, then dad won't catch it."

Xiaodouzi smiled and said "thank you" to Li Yuan.

Then he looked at the fish in the water and said:

"Fish, fish, don't be afraid! You heard me. My father has decided not to catch you. You can continue to live in the water with peace of mind..."

Li Xiang listened to Xiaodouzi's thoughts about Yu'er.

There was always something unpleasant in his heart.

Emotionally, he, Li Xiang, is a heinous villain.

Xiaodouzi is a hero who stops him from spreading evil hands to innocent people.

So he, the big bad guy, was successfully defeated.

never mind!

It is not a shame to lose to your own children.

Zhang Ling seemed to have noticed Li Xiang's little thoughts.

I also feel a little sad for what happened to him.

So he put his head over and prepared to say a few comforting words to Li.

He never wanted to be misunderstood by Li Xiang and think that Zhang Ling wanted to give him a kiss.

He also responded with a smile of enjoyment and anticipation.

But what was waiting for him was Zhang Ling’s soft words:

"Li Xiang has wronged you."

Li Xiang was even more looking forward to Zhang Ling giving him a kiss to compensate him.

He continued to tilt his body to the right, and poked his head out a little, with a smile of intoxication and enjoyment on his face, and closed his eyes and ears as if listening to something.

Time passed minute by minute.

Li Xiang waited a long time for Zhang Ling's kiss.

But he waited for Xiaodouzi's reminder.

Because Xiaodouzi saw from the reflection in the water that Li Xiang had been acting strangely for some time.

That’s why I curiously said to Li:

"Dad, you've been acting like this for a while."

Li Xiang said "Ah" in surprise.

He quickly opened his eyes and looked at Xiaodouzi with some embarrassment.

Xiaodouzi continued to ask doubtfully:

"Can you tell Xiaodouzi what the special meaning of your action just now is?"

Oops!

You can't tell your child that he's waiting for Zhang Ling's kiss.

What's more, if there are only three of them here.

Just say it.

But Wu Man was always nearby to help.

what to do?

Just when he was hesitating how to answer Xiaodouzi.

He overheard Zhang Ling's happy laughter coming from behind him.

Follow the sound.

She was standing not far away with a cartoon-patterned apron in front of her.

He is holding an onion in his hand as if he is peeling it.

Maybe he heard Xiaodouzi’s question.

Seeing that Li Xiang couldn't think of an explanation for a while, he probably laughed out loud.

Xiaodouzi may not know the meaning of his actions just now.

But it’s been so long!

Zhang Ling definitely knew what his behavior meant.

So he smiled awkwardly and asked:

"Zhang Ling, why are you laughing?"

Zhang Ling pretended to be confused and said:

"Did I laugh?"

Li Xiang reminded with some helplessness:

"You smiled!"

Zhang Ling said "Oh" and continued:

"Then maybe I really laughed. But it doesn't seem to matter why I laughed."

As she said this, she motioned to Li Xiang to look at Xiaodouzi, who had been waiting for the answer.

Zhang Ling then said:

"It seems that the most important thing now is that you should answer the question Xiaodouzi asked you. Li Xiang, you are the father of the child. Don't let the child wait for you for too long!"

Li Xiang has not reacted to this yet.

Then he heard Xiaodouzi call daddy again.

Needless to say, his father was urging him to answer the question.

Li Xiang didn't dare to delay too much and hurriedly agreed.

At the same time, he withdrew his eyes that looked at Zhang Ling with a hint of resentment.

When looking at Xiaodouzi, he quickly smiled and continued:

"What could be the meaning of what I just did?"

When asking Xiaodouzi this question, he was also asking himself.

The purpose is to buy him some time to find reasons and excuses.

"To be honest, Xiaodouzi, you may not believe it. What you did just now has no special meaning."

Speaking of which.

There was obvious doubt in Xiaodouzi's eyes.

Li Xiang didn't want to lose his position in Xiaodouzi's heart for this reason.

So he went on to say:

"If there is any meaning to what I just did, it would be that my father was shielding Xiaodouzi from the sun. He was afraid that Xiaodouzi's eyes would be hurt by the reflection in the water."

The reason why he could find this reason.

It was because while he was explaining, the sun's rays shining through the water irritated his eyes.

Obviously, the reason he was looking for was pretty good.

Xiaodouzi smiled and chose to believe what he said.

She even took the initiative to praise Zhang Ling for her father's kindness to her.

I learned it from Xiaodouzi’s complimentary words just now.

When Xiaodouzi looked at the fish in the water.

The reflected sunlight does irritate the eyes.

Li wanted to finish explaining to Xiaodouzi.

I happened to see Zhang Ling moving things from the car.

This is the moment when you show off your manly charm.

How could Li Xiang miss it so easily?

After taking care of Xiaodouzi's safety, he quickly left for Zhang Ling.

Just for a while.

Xiaodouzi looked towards the river again to search.

There was no trace of Yu'er's family of three.

Then there was a hint of disappointment on his face.

Then he muttered in a small voice:

"Yuer Yuer, your family just wandered away like this. Why didn't you say goodbye to me before you left?"

As he spoke, he sighed lightly and continued:

"I said Yu'er, you guys are really heartless. You don't intend to see me again! Maybe I misjudged you..."

Think of this.

It seems like just this moment.

Xiaodouzi treats Yu'er's family of three.

A lot of emotion has been invested.

So I feel a little regretful.

I regret not letting my father go into the water to fish out the fish and his family.

Do not misunderstand!

Xiaodouzi didn't intend to eat them.

Instead, I plan to get a fish tank and keep it at home.

You can often visit them as a family when needed.

Xiaodouzi resentfully faced the water and finished expressing his negative emotions towards the fish.

He tried his best to put on a smile on his little face.

She turned around and saw Li trying to take the little stove she was very curious about before out of the car.

It is said that this small stove, which is more than half a meter high, can cook.

Xiaodouzi has never been seen before.

So a pair of short legs walked briskly towards Li Xiang.

At the same time, Xiaozui said loudly and curiously:

"Dad, this stove does not use natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas, and there is no gas or briquettes prepared. Xiaodouzi really can't figure out how it can make a fire for cooking?"

Li wanted to place the stove in a relatively flat and comfortable place.

Then he looked at Xiaodouzi with a smile and explained:

"Speaking of which, when everyone gathers firewood, the flames are high. Come on, my child, would you like to go collect firewood with your father now?"

Li Xiang originally planned to use a wood stove to eat hot pot outdoors.

Father and daughter collect firewood together.

It is also a good opportunity for parent-child interaction.

At the same time, it also allows Xiaodouzi to experience the fun of eating by himself.

Xiaodouzi accepted Li Xiang's father's suggestion without hesitation.

Zhang Ling's mother stayed behind and continued picking and washing vegetables with Wu Man.

I saw Li Xiang visually confirming that it was between two huge rocks on the east side of the river beach.

It may be that a flash flood left behind a pile of dry branches.

So I took Xiaodouzi's hand and went together.

It took about a quarter of an hour to pick it up.

Xiaodouzi noticed a branch that could hardly be grasped by his little hands and pulled hard.

When Li Xiang saw it, he smiled and persuaded Xiaodouzi to stop trying so hard.

But the stubborn Xiaodouzi still insisted that he must pull it out.

Because she heard Li say that the thicker the branches, the stronger the fire.

The fire is booming.

Then the picnic hot pot can be eaten as soon as possible.

have no choice!

Li Xiang really couldn't defeat Xiaodouzi.

I don't want to see Xiaodouzi get hurt because of this.

So I had to quickly come over and help the child.

did not expect!

The stubborn little Douzi actually pulled out the thick branch.

Li Xiang was happily walking over to show off her prowess.

Li Xiang took the thick branch that Xiaodouzi had just pulled out and looked at it.

Finally, he hugged him with satisfaction and said:

"Our little beans are great! I think these branches are almost enough to make a meal. Come on, kid, let's go find mother to make a fire and cook."

Xiaodouzi wanted to pull another branch that was slightly thinner that she liked.

Never thought about it!

I accidentally saw an adult-like hand sticking out from the soil not far away.

That moment!

Xiaodouzi raised his finger and exclaimed "Daddy".
