Me and My Two Bosses' Systems
Chapter 74 The 74th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person
"Hey, stop, that's enough. You don't need to wash the pot now. I'll wash it after I finish cooking the next dish." Li Xingyu was holding the oil and was about to pour it into the pot when a cleaning robot in the kitchen was about to take the pot over to wash it, so she quickly stopped it.
While she was washing the pot, Li Xingyu had already stir-fried the cabbage. Since the previous dish was also just stir-fried vegetables, she didn't need to wash the pot.
The robot recognized Li Xingyu's words, took two meters back, stood next to her, and waited for her to finish cooking.
"Wash the cabbage, tear it into small pieces, drain the water, and follow the same steps as stir-frying amaranth. Just add a little chili powder when adding salt." Li Xingyu quickly stir-fried the cabbage and had the robot bring the two dishes to the kitchen counter.
She glanced at Xinghe and Tianshu and noticed that Xinghe was plating stir-fried pumpkin, while Tianshu had already turned off the heat of the chicken soup and was looking at the quantum computer.
Li Xingyu didn't call the two of them, but instead followed the robot to the cooking station on the hoverboard.
Xinghe had just finished packing the pumpkin and followed Li Xingyu toward the cooking station, carrying the plate.
"Phew~ It's finally done." Li Xingyu looked at the dishes that took up a third of the counter and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xinghe carried the pumpkin past Li Xingyu, placed the dish on the counter, turned to look at Li Xingyu: "Little Feather, the dishes are basically ready. Shall we start packing for the others?"
Li Xingyu checked the time; there was still about half an hour left. "Let's start packing then. The chicken soup will be ready last; we'll put it in a thermos later."
"Hmm, I bought this style of insulated box last night. It should be more convenient than the previous one." Xinghe took out a stack of insulated boxes with compartments from a cabinet. They were all in candy and macaron colors, full of girlish charm.
"Wow~ these lunchboxes are so pretty." Li Xingyu took a light pink insulated box from Xinghe, looked at it carefully, and nodded to show her satisfaction and liking.
"I'm glad you like it, little feather. There are many more here. You can keep that one." Xinghe put the stack of insulated boxes she was carrying on the counter, said to Li Xingyu, and then turned around and took out another stack from the cabinet.
"Okay, then I'll accept it. Let's start packing now!" Li Xingyu put the insulated boxes into the storage space for daily necessities and picked up an insulated box to start packing.
The insulated box that Xinghe placed on the kitchen counter had been specially cleaned when it was delivered to the Li family. The robot also cleans the pots, pans and other utensils in the kitchen every day, so they are all ready to use.
"Okay, Little Feather, I'll help too." Xinghe put down the insulated box in his hand, walked over, picked up an insulated box, and started packing the food.
There were quite a lot of dishes today, so Li Xingyu and Xinghe didn't take them all. Instead, they selectively picked out five dishes, a mix of meat and vegetables. As for which dishes they took, that was random.
"Little Star, the chicken soup is ready."
Just as Li Xingyu put down a packed insulated box, Tian Shu's cheerful voice came from behind her.
"Are you done? Thank you for your hard work, Tian Shu. Come over here." Li Xingyu turned around and saw Tian Shu walking over. Behind him was a robot carrying a large bowl of chicken soup. He smiled and greeted Tian Shu.
"Little Star, what's wrong?" Tian Shu heard Li Xingyu's greeting and quickly took two steps to come to Li Xingyu's side.
Xinghe then gestured to the robot to put the chicken soup on the counter. Because the chicken soup was too hot, Xinghe also put a heat-insulating mat under the pot. Then she went to the cabinet next to the cabinet where the insulated box was placed and took out a bunch of insulated cups.
Li Xingyu then handed two insulated food containers filled with food to Tian Shu, saying, "These are for you. Thank you for your hard work today, Tian Shu."
"It's not hard work. I'm happy to be able to help Little Star. No need... to bring me things." Tian Shu held two heavy insulated boxes, looked at Li Xingyu, and his eyes were a little red.
"Oh, Tian Shu, this is what I wanted to give you. I'm so grateful to you and Xing He for being here today. Otherwise, where would we have gotten the roasted rabbit this morning and the food you have now? Please accept it, otherwise I'll feel embarrassed to ask you for food next time. Xing He has some too." Li Xingyu looked at Tian Shu, who was still a little hesitant, and persuaded him.
'Sigh~ Even if they are my guardians, I can't just make them do the work without any benefits. Besides, they protect me, and I pay them with mental energy fluctuations. Helping them with these things isn't part of what a guardian is supposed to do, let alone friends.' Li Xingyu kept complaining in her heart, but on the surface, she looked at Tian Shu with anticipation.
"Okay, thank you, Little Star." Tian Shu put the two insulated boxes into his storage space, hesitated for a moment, then hugged Li Xingyu and rubbed against her, his voice muffled, like a beautiful but shy little puppy.
"Okay, there's plenty more to come. Let's continue packing up the food." Li Xingyu hugged Tian Shu back, patted his back, and ruffled his fluffy hair.
"Okay, I'll help too." Tian Shu let go of Li Xingyu's arms, rubbed his face shyly, the redness at the corners of his eyes spread a little more, his face was red from being rubbed so hard, and his ears were also red.
"Mmm." Li Xingyu glanced at the reddened area on Tian Shu's face, then looked away and responded with a soft "Mmm." Inwardly, however, she thought, 'Tsk, poor, innocent puppy. Two meals are enough to make him cry. He's so easy to win over.'
The three of them packed up about ten portions of food, including soup. It's just that the portions of the dishes were all large, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to eat so much.
Looking at the plate with about a third of the food left, Li Xingyu couldn't help but feel relieved, muttering to herself, "If the portions hadn't been so large, there wouldn't have been any for them, hmph."
Li Xingyu muttered to herself as she put boxed lunches into her food storage space.
Anyway, they did all the cooking. It's practically a banquet. If it weren't for the fact that everyone here is family, this would still be a food wasteland. Let whoever wants to cook can cook. It's only right that they get some compensation for their hard work. They can just take this out and eat it whenever they don't feel like cooking anymore.
"Alright, we can put the dishes on the dining table and set the time-stopping device in place. We can eat as soon as Grandpa Zian comes back," Li Xingyu said to Xinghe and Tianshu after putting away the insulated food container.
"Yes, I'll just go and mail these meals out. Little Feather, have Grandpa and the robot carry them, be careful not to burn yourself." Xinghe nodded, put the insulated box on the counter into her storage space, and gave Li Xingyu some instructions.
"Okay, okay, I know, let's go, let's go out." Li Xingyu had just gone from standing on the hoverboard to sitting on it, because she was tired of standing.
Anyway, I changed my shoes before cooking, and I only walked from Grandma Li's room to the kitchen, so it's not a big problem to sit down after stepping on them.
Li Xingyu lifted her skirt and jumped down from the suspension board, which was suspended about half a meter high.
"Hey..." Xinghe and Tianshu had just made a sound of protest when they saw Li Xingyu land lightly, her skirt and sleeves fluttering in the wind, and the tassels on her hairpin swaying a little more, but still behind her ears.
"What's wrong?" Hearing their voices, Li Xingyu stopped walking out of the kitchen and turned to look at Xinghe and Tianshu.
"It's alright, Little Feather, be careful." Xinghe and Tianshu exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and followed Li Xingyu toward the kitchen. Tianshu also got off the hoverboard and walked with Xinghe.
"Okay." Li Xingyu nodded to indicate that she understood after hearing Xinghe's words, and then turned around and continued walking towards the restaurant.
Stepping out of the kitchen, Li Xingyu noticed that only the lights were on in the dining room, and no one was there. So she continued walking towards the living room.
"..."
Before even entering the living room, Li Xingyu could hear faint voices.
"Hey~ Little Feather, come here." Because Delas was facing the direction of the restaurant, he was the first to notice Li Xingyu coming out of the kitchen.
They originally planned to wait at the restaurant for a while while Xiao Yumo cooked, to see if there was anything they could help with.
Then they received a message from the succubus clan that they had arrived at the Li family's territory and would be at the ancestral home in fifteen minutes.
Grandma Li and the others suddenly remembered that the succubus clan had sent a message saying that someone would come to congratulate Si Zi'an on her retirement.
However, since that happened a month ago, although the personal terminal reminded me, Li Xingyu has awakened these past few days, and there have been many things to do, such as communicating with the Alliance and choosing a guardian for her... I was so busy that I almost forgot about it.
Even though they are all relatives, we can't be too casual; at the very least, we should show respect for our guests.
So the previously casual and lazy Delas and Li Luyou quickly changed into more formal clothes.
While Li Xingyu was cooking, Li Luyou brought over the ingredients that his spirit animal friends had hunted and gathered.
Since they lived nearby and often bumped into each other on the street, Li Luyou could chat with Delas and the others, not to mention his great-grandmother, who had watched him grow up.
Because Li Luyou also knew the people from the succubus tribe, he was kept in the living room by Delas and the others. Otherwise, he might have hidden himself away. However, he couldn't dress too casually when meeting guests.
I originally thought it would be a simple celebratory dinner with my family, so I just did whatever made me comfortable. But since they had already told me their schedule, I couldn't be too casual, or they would think I looked down on them.
Of the few people at home, only Grandma Li, Li Xinghua, and Li Xingyu wore Hanfu designed by Li Xingyu. They were all dressed appropriately, some looking elegant and dignified, others heroic and spirited, and still others lively, cute, and gentle.
Xinghe and Tianshu had been digging bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest with Li Xingyu in the morning. After returning, they also cleaned themselves up while Li Xingyu, Li's great-grandmother, and Li Xinghua went to change clothes. Xinghe naturally knew that the succubus clan had visited, so she reminded Tianshu, and the two of them changed into a set of decent clothes.
As for the others, they were all dressed in T-shirts, casual pants, and casual shoes, because they originally thought it was just a meal with the people there, but...
Upon seeing the number of people and their identities sent by the succubus clan, the group quickly went to change their clothes. Li Luyou also followed Rice to change into a slightly formal but not too over-the-top outfit.
The group changed clothes quickly, in less than five minutes, and Grandma Li and Li Xinghua were already directing the cleaning robot to start cleaning.
Since they planned to arrive at the Li family's residence before Si Zian, the three succubi arrived at the Li family's ancestral home at 19:30 in interstellar time, together with Li Shihan (Li's mother), whom they happened to meet on the way, as well as Si Weier and Fu Jinzhou.
Li Xingyu was talking to Xinghe about sending a package. She was curious about how Xinghe knew the location of the Li family members so accurately, as some of them were unknown to Li Xingyu due to the nature of his work.
Upon hearing Delas's voice, Li Xingyu looked over before her smile faded.
Then Li Xingyu saw that, in addition to Grandma Li, Hiffel, Rice, Delas, Li Xinghua, and Li Luyou, whom she had already met and gradually become familiar with, there were six other people she hadn't seen in the past two days staring at her.
Li Xingyu's cheerful steps suddenly stopped, and then she tilted her head, forcibly turning her gaze to the six people.
"Phew~" Li Xingyu breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief. She recognized five of them, but there was only one succubus boy who looked a little older than her, whom she didn't remember.
"Great-Grandma, Grandpa Deras, Grandpa Hiffel, Grandpa Rice, Mom, Dad Lost, Dad Jinzhou, Dad Siweier, Aunt Silan Lisa, Uncle Bixiao, Lulu, and this little brother I'm meeting for the first time, good evening." Li Xingyu walked over to the sofa and greeted everyone.
Apart from the succubus boy, Li Xingyu recognized the faces of everyone present and called out their names.
Silan Lisa, the second daughter of Si Zian's younger sister, is a god-level mental power user of the succubus race. She has two small black horns about five centimeters long on her head. Because she is wearing a bright red tight-fitting slit dress, you can also see a chain-like tail hanging behind her, which is swaying leisurely.
Bi Xiao, one of Silan Lisa's companions, is an eagle beastman of the orc race. He has short gray hair and yellow vertical pupils, sharp eyes, and a tough and sharp appearance. He is wearing a neat sky blue air force uniform and sits on the sofa with his back straight.
Li Xingyu remembered the two of them, so she called them out.
"Good evening, Little Feather. How is the awakening feeling? Is this the outfit you designed? I heard from Lost that we have one too." After Grandma Li and Hiffel smiled and nodded to Li Xingyu, Li Shihan gestured for Li Xingyu to come and sit with her, and then asked Li Xingyu a question.
"Hmm, it feels pretty good. Yeah, but you guys don't know how to put them on yet. I helped Great-Grandma and my sister put them on." Li Xingyu said, but Li Shihan's gaze fell on Great-Grandma and Li Xinghua. Li Xingyu shrugged and finished the sentence.
