The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Xu Yingying: "Everyone must learn to be independent. I just understood this a few months earlier than you." Xu Yingying said absentmindedly, but secretly thinking about getting back to the topic quickly, so that her cousin Tong Xin wouldn't start asking about the things she didn't find in the mind of the task object.

Li Tongxin looked at Xu Yingying with some confusion, as if she was puzzled by her words, but she continued, "I don't know why, but my parents suddenly want to go back to their hometown this time. I only found out this morning. We clearly stayed over at my house together the night before yesterday. Now I'm staying over at my cousin Yingying's house."

Xu Yingying smiled slightly and tried to comfort him, "Maybe they have something important to deal with. But it doesn't matter, it's the same if you come and stay with me."

Li Tongxin nodded, expressing her understanding, but still couldn't help complaining: "But this is so sudden, I'm not prepared at all. And I have to get along with my relatives, which feels a bit awkward."

Xu Yingying patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we're all family, so you won't feel uncomfortable. Besides, just think of it as me staying over at your house."

Li Tongxin smiled and felt a little more relaxed: "Well, it's a good thing I came to your place, cousin Yingying. If I had gone to other relatives' homes, I wouldn't know what to do with myself."

Xu Yingying: "Tong Xin, you are exaggerating. It's really not that serious."

Li Tongxin: "I didn't think about it at first, but before you came back, cousin Yingying, although I had talked to your aunt before, it was just a greeting."

Xu Yingying: "Maybe Tongxin, you haven't gotten along with your aunt much. Your aunt is a very good person. Since she promised your aunt to help take care of you, you don't have to worry so much."

Li Tongxin: "Of course I'm not worried about Aunt Xu, it's just that I don't know how to deal with elders like them."

Xu Yingying: "It's okay, you will get used to it slowly."

Just as the two were chatting animatedly in the room, Xu Xiaofeng knocked on the door and said, "Dinner is ready, you can come out and eat."

Li Tongxin followed Xu Yingying to the dining table, and when she saw her favorite corn soup, her eyes lit up.

Xu Xiaofeng said, "I know you might not be used to it since this is your first day staying over here. I heard from your mom that you like this. This is my first time making it, so you should try it."

Li Tongxin was very moved after hearing what Xu Xiaofeng said. Just as her cousin Yingying had just told her, Aunt Xu was really a good person. Knowing that she missed home, she cooked her mother's specialty for her.

Li Tongxin: "Thank you, Aunt Xu."

Xu Xiaofeng: "Why are you saying thank you? You are Yingying's cousin and I am Yingying's aunt. We are all family. Family members don't need to say thank you all the time."

Xu Yingying: "Aunt is right, Tong Xin, you should get used to it. Don't say thank you all the time, it's too awkward!"

Li Tongxin: "Okay, I understand. I will pay attention next time." Then she started to taste the corn soup made by Aunt Xu.

Although it doesn’t taste like the one her mother makes, Li Tongxin still thinks it is delicious.

Xu Xiaofeng kept watching Li Tongxin's expression as she tasted the food: "How is it? Tongxin, does it taste okay?"

Li Tongxin: "Aunt Xu, it's really good. It's very similar to what my mom makes."

Xu Yingying: "It does have a bit of an aunt's flavor."

Xu Xiaofeng: "That's good. When your mother came this morning, she specifically told me that I would have the chance to make it for you one of these days. She even wrote down the steps on a piece of paper for me to follow. I was afraid that if I made something bad, I would disappoint you."

Li Tongxin had no idea that her mother and Aunt Xu had actually cooked so much just to give her her favorite dishes. She didn't know how to express her gratitude to Aunt Xu, who had just told her not to say thank you so often. But at this moment, she felt completely helpless.

Finally, Li Tongxin thought that she could help wash the dishes after dinner.

She saw that she was waiting for cousin Yingying and Aunt Xu to put down their dishes and was eating slowly, and wanted to use this as an excuse to say that she would wash the dishes together after she finished eating.

Xu Xiaofeng and Xu Yingying did not notice Li Tongxin's plan. They were still sitting there chatting and waiting for Li Tongxin to finish eating and clean up the dishes.

Seeing the two people who didn't leave the table, Li Tongxin became anxious and said, "Aunt Xu, Cousin Yingying, why don't you leave the table after you finish eating?"

Xu Yingying and Xu Xiaofeng, who were driven off the table by Li Tongxin, looked at each other, and then Xu Yingying asked, "What happened?"

"How am I supposed to clean up and wash the dishes if you guys don't leave the table?" Li Tongxin blurted out her plan.

Hearing what Li Tongxin said, Xu Xiaofeng said, "You kid, you don't have to wash the dishes when you come to your aunt's house as a guest. Your aunt can clean it up."

Xu Yingying then said: "Aunt, let me do it!"

Li Tongxin saw that everyone was vying for the job of washing the dishes. Although she was a little confused, she still said, "Since everyone wants to wash the dishes, why don't we wash them together?"

After hearing Li Tongxin's suggestion, Xu Yingying and Xu Xiaofeng looked at each other and thought it was feasible. They said, "Cousin Tongxin, let's each take responsibility for a part. You clean up the dishes and bring them to the kitchen. Auntie and I will wash them, and you can take the rag to clean the dining table outside."

After everyone sympathized with Xu Yingying's arrangement, they each took care of their own parts and quickly put the dishes, table, and kitchen stove in order.

The three of them lay on the sofa in the same posture, and Xu Yingying said, "Tonight's dishes were washed the fastest."

Xu Xiaofeng: "Because of Tong Xin's help."

Li Tongxin: "No, no, it's just that you don't mind that I'm clumsy."

Xu Yingying: "Cousin Tong Xin has learned how to be polite now."

Li Tongxin looked at Xu Yingying in confusion: "What do you mean by polite?"

Xu Xiaofeng listened silently to the interaction between the two children and felt that perhaps a family with more people would indeed be more vibrant.

Just then, the phone next to the sofa rang.

Xu Xiaofeng picked up the phone and asked, "Who is this?"

Qin Shu: "Xiao Feng? I'm Qin Shu."

Xu Xiaofeng: "Sister Qin Shu? What's wrong?"

Qin Shu: "I just want to open it and look for Tong Xin."

Xu Xiaofeng: "Oh, wait a minute. Tong Xin, your mother is calling you."

Li Tongxin: "My mother?"

Xu Xiaofeng nodded and handed the microphone to Li Tongxin.

Li Tongxin: "Hello, I'm Li Tongxin."

Qin Shu: "Tong Xin, it's Mom. Did you have a good meal today, your first day at your cousin's house?"
