When he returned home and heard that his two younger brothers and Shitou were at Qin Jiuan's place, Chu Jinzhou hurried over.

When we entered the house, we saw a group of little kids sitting around the table. In front of each of them was a small bowl filled with freshly fried potatoes.

Qin Jiuan sat at the very edge, turning the potatoes frying on the small stove from time to time.

"Zhou Zhou, why did you come just now? Go to the kitchen and get some bowls." Qin Jiuan said.

"it is good!"

The little guy quickly took out the bowl. Qin Jiuan scooped him a bowl of fried potatoes and sprinkled some chili powder on it. "Eat it."

“Uncle Zhou Zhou! Here, here!”

Xiaobao waved at him quickly.

Chu Jinzhou sat down next to him, "Xiaobao, is it delicious?"

"good to eat!"

Xiaobao ate the potatoes in small bites with his eyes squinted, he loved it so much!

Chu Jinnian: "Brother, why did you come back so late? We wanted to wait for you to come back and fry the potatoes, but you came back too late and we were so hungry."

Mumu: "Yes! It's not that we won't wait for you."

Shitou and Niu Niu laughed out loud.

San Ya: "Niannian, you are really good at talking! Anyway, you are the only one who is hungry."

"Sister San Ya, why are you like this? I told Brother Jiu about fried potatoes because I saw you drooling."

"You are slandering me. You are talking nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

The two kids were about to quarrel, and Qin Jiuan coughed twice, "Are you guys still going to eat? If not, I won't explode."

“Eat, eat, eat!!”

Everyone lowered their heads guiltily.

"Brother Zhouzhou, I heard from Brother Nian Nian that you went to the military camp. What is a military camp?"

Maybe it was because Chu Jinzhou had saved him before, so Xiaobao liked Chu Jinzhou very much. As long as he was around, the little guy couldn't help but stick to him.

“That’s where the uncles who fought in the war are.”

"Wow! So Brother Zhou Zhou is going to be a general in the future?"

"Yes! I want to be one!"

"Wow!!"

Xiaobao's eyes were full of stars.

Chu Jinzhou: "Eat it quickly. The potatoes won't taste good if they get cold."

The little guy nodded obediently.

Everyone finished eating the potatoes in their bowls, and the potatoes in the pot were fried until they were golden brown. "Bring all the bowls over here."

After sharing the potatoes, Qin Jiuan asked again: "Have you had enough potatoes? Do you want some tofu?"

“I want it, I want it!!”

"I want to eat tofu!"

Qin Jiuan stood up and said, "Wait."

Seeing him enter the kitchen, Niu Niu hurriedly followed him in.

"Brother Jiu, is there any tofu here? Let me cut it."

Qin Jiuan: "No, just eat yours. It's not like I don't know how to cut it."

"But……"

"go with!"

"All right……"

After driving Niu Niu out, Qin Jiuan took out the two pieces of tofu that Grandpa Lin had given him this morning, washed them, put them on the chopping board and cut them into thick slices.

After cutting, it is taken outside.

"There are only two pieces of tofu left at home. Please satisfy your cravings."

He put the tofu pieces into the pan and fried them slowly.

Qin Jiuan never thought that one day he would be able to cook.

I remember that when he was young, he went to the kitchen several times out of curiosity, but later he was scalded by the oil and never went there again.

Now he can do things very well with one hand, and cooking is not as difficult as he once imagined.

The tofu is fried until both sides are golden brown, sprinkled with chili powder, and tastes tender and fragrant.

The little ones ate so voraciously that they couldn't stop.

Qin Jiuan also ate two pieces and found it really delicious.

"Brother Jiu! This tofu is so delicious! Can you fry it for me tomorrow?"

Chu Jinnian was so embarrassed that he wanted to hug Qin Jiuan and give him a big kiss.

Qin Jiuan: "No, if you really want to eat tofu, I will take you to eat stinky tofu tomorrow."

Mumu: "Stinky tofu is delicious too! And it doesn't cost money!"

It’s my grandpa who sells stinky tofu!

Every day Grandpa Lin would set up a stall outside the school for a while, and the little ones would go there to eat every now and then.

“Oh, it tastes different!”

Sanya: "Brother Jiu, we can also have a barbecue in your yard!"

Qin Jiuan: "Then we might as well go directly to the barbecue restaurant. I think you little rascals just want to mess with me!"

Chu Jinnian patted his chest and promised, "We'll do it ourselves! We'll be responsible for threading the skewers! We won't tire you out!"

Qin Jiuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, okay, I will be responsible for eating when the time comes, and you guys serve me!"

"no problem!"

While eating tofu, Chu Jinzhou suddenly said: "Oh, by the way! Sister Lan Yue is going to the Central Plains to fight soon!"

"Wow!! Really? Isn't Sister Lan Yue the female general?!"

"Ok!"

"How long will Sister Lan Yue be gone? She..."

The chattering sounds of the little ones gradually disappeared from Qin Jiuan's ears.

His face turned pale and he couldn't hear anything.

I don't know how much time had passed, but suddenly I was patted several times.

"Brother Jiu! What's wrong with you? Why don't you talk to us?"

Qin Jiuan came back to his senses and shook his head quickly, "No...you guys tell me, I..."

He was confused and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Chu Jinnian: "Brother Jiu, how long do you think Sister Lan Yue will be gone this time? My father went to war before, but he was gone for several years!"

Qin Jiuan clenched his fists, "I don't know either."

"Alas... I like Sister Lan Yue very much. If I can't see her for a long time, I will miss her very much." Chu Jinnian was distressed.

Qin Jiuan was in a trance and didn't really listen to what the little guy said.

After eating, the little ones helped to clean the bowls, chopsticks and pots and put them in place one by one, then said goodbye to Qin Jiuan and went home.

Watching them return home hand in hand, Qin Jiuan stood at the gate of the yard for a long time before returning to the house.

The weather is not too hot now, and it would be boring to take care of the child at home, so Shen Zhi carried Xiaotuanzi and followed Chu Changfeng to the hot pot restaurant.

She had never visited the hot pot restaurant since it opened. When she arrived and saw that it was full of customers, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the business to be so good.

The store was filled with the aroma of hot pot. She didn't dare let Little Dumpling smell it for too long, so she chatted with Qin Jiuan at the door of the store.

Qin Jiuan looked at the white and soft little ball in her arms smiling sweetly at him, and he couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his face.

Shen Zhi talked to him for a while and gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Qin Jiuan, you didn't sleep well? Why do you have such dark circles under your eyes?"

"Also, why do you look so listless? What happened?"

Qin Jiuan chuckled, "How am I listless? I'm just a little sleepy, okay?"

"I got a storybook yesterday. It's so wonderful! I forgot the time while reading it. That's why I went to bed late!"

"Really?" Shen Zhi looked skeptical.

"Why would I lie to you? Do you want to see it? I'll give it to you!"

Shen Zhi shook his head, "I won't watch it."

As she spoke, she continued to look at him silently. How could he be sleepy? Was he so exhausted after staying up all night?
