Chapter 12: Gorging on Food

Reassured by Qin Xiaoyao’s words, Song Ye’s courage instantly increased.

His big round eyes quickly looked at Song Yun.

“Big Sis…”

Song Yun swallowed her saliva and looked at Madam Liu.

Madam Liu looked at Qin Xiaoyao and saw that she appeared very nonchalant and was engrossed in flipping the pancakes. She then nodded at Song Yun.

It was rare for her daughter-in-law to be kind, so it was good to let her daughter eat something good.

Song Yun’s face lit up, and she went to wash her hands.

After washing for a while, she got up.

Looking at Qin Xiaoyao, who was beaming at her, she didn’t dare to open her mouth to ask.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao felt somewhat helpless again.

She took the initiative to step forward and retrieved the bamboo pan basket.

“Yun’er can take this one. This one’s big, and was also baked first, so it shouldn’t be too hot.”

Song Yun’s eyes lit up.

“Thank you, Sister-in-law,” she said timidly, then reached out to take the pancake.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but adore this little girl dearly in her heart.

She couldn’t resist reaching out to stroke the little girl’s head.

Song Yun was almost frightened out of her wits, but she managed to steady herself in time and didn’t avoid Qin Xiaoyao’s claws.

As the delicious pancake entered her mouth, the uneasiness in Song Yun’s heart was quickly washed away, leaving only a feeling of happiness.

Then, as if Song Yun had thought of something, she took the pancakes and walked toward Madam Liu.

“Mom, this pancake is delicious. Try it!” Then, she took out half of the pancake and directed it to Madam Liu’s mouth.

Madam Liu was shocked.

When she saw Qin Xiaoyao looking in her direction, her face froze.

Just as she was about to turn her down, Qin Xiaoyao smiled and spoke.

“Mother, you’re really too much. Just wash your hands and come and get it yourself. Don’t tell me you are waiting for Yun’er to feed you?”

Madam Liu’s face turned bright red.

“You… eat on your own. Mom will go wash her hands,” she said to her daughter then.

Song Yun’s face lit up. “Mom, take it slowly.” She reminded her mother before moving aside.

Only then did Madam Liu stand up.

She went to the place where the two children had washed their hands and waited for her daughter-in-law to give her the pancake.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t serve Madam Liu the basket, but continued to work on the stove.

“Those at the bottom were baked first, so they are not that hot. Mother, just help yourself. ”

Madam Liu looked at Qin Xiaoyao worriedly, then stepped forward.

After hesitating for a while, she picked a smaller one.

Qin Xiaoyao raised her head and saw the pancake in Madam Liu’s hand. She couldn’t help but frown.

Her expression startled Madam Liu, and she almost dropped the pancake in her hand.

“Mother, why did you choose such a small one? What can you taste from such a small piece? Take another piece.” Qin Xiaoyao said.

Then she took two steps forward, picked a slightly bigger one from the bamboo pan basket, and handed it to Madam Liu.

“Add this one,” she told her.

Madam Liu was so shocked that she didn’t react for quite a while.

It wasn’t until Song Yun, who was next to her, tugged at the corner of her clothes that Madam Liu came back to her senses.

“Thank… thank you,” she hurriedly said to Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao frowned slightly.

Then, she smiled. “We’re family, Mother. You don’t have to be so polite.”

Madam Liu didn’t even dare to look at Qin Xiaoyao. She took the pancake and quickly left.

Qin Xiaoyao felt utterly helpless.

Sighing in her heart, she also took a piece of pancake and put it in her mouth.

Hmm, it tasted really good!

After that, she returned to the stove to continue cooking. Qin Xiaoyao then added. “If you’ve finished eating, there’s still more in the basket. Just eat two each, or it’ll affect your appetite for dinner later.”

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t take any notice of the three people’s surprised stares and looked at Song Ye instead.

“I’ll have to trouble Ye’er to make a trip and pick two of the bigger pancakes to send to your big brother. It’s already so late. He must be hungry.”

The little child’s eyes lit up.

“Okay, Sister-in-law!” He quickly ran over.

Qin Xiaoyao laughed and took out a bowl and chopsticks.

Then, with Song Ye’s ‘help,’ she chose two large pancakes and placed them in the bowl.

“Go on.” Then, she passed the bowl and chopsticks to Song Ye.

“Okay!” Little Song Ye left happily.

The moment Song Ye left, the room became quiet again.

Qin Xiaoyao personally passed the pancakes to Song Yun and Madam Liu again. Then, she asked Song Yun to keep the fire going in preparation to fry the hare meat.

Time passed slowly, and night finally fell.

Before the sky turned completely dark, Qin Xiaoyao used the fire in the stove to roast the remaining five birds and also cooked the hare meat.

At the same time, the aroma of the chicken soup wafted out from the big pot.

It made everyone in the room drool uncontrollably.

Even Song Que, who was in the room next door, felt disturbed by the fragrance.

It was really bizarre today. Surprisingly, that woman didn’t die. And it seemed like her personality had changed.

“Hmph! I wonder where she got the food from…” he thought.

“The chicken needs to be stewed a while longer, so we won’t wait for now. Let’s have some pancakes and hare meat for dinner.” Qin Xiaoyao placed the hare meat on the table and then began to set the table.

Madam Liu and Song Yun didn’t answer.

Only Song Ye ran to Qin Xiaoyao’s side.

“Sister-in-law, I will bring the food to Big Brother.” He volunteered.

Qin Xiaoyao was amused by the little kid and couldn’t resist leaning over to stroke his head.

“It’s dark outside and the path isn’t easy to walk. I’ll send the food to him.”

Qin Xiaoyao then looked at her mother-in-law and little sister-in-law.

“All of you can wash your hands and eat first. Don’t wait for me.” After speaking, she returned to the kitchen counter.

She took the portion that was specially reserved for Song Que and left the kitchen.

Walking out of the kitchen, Qin Xiaoyao realized it was darker than she had thought.

The only reason the kitchen was not completely dark was that the firewood was still burning in the stove pit.

Fortunately, after taking a few steps out of the room, her eyes got used to the night. Under the faint moonlight, she could more or less see the path in front of her.

Qin Xiaoyao soon arrived next door.

As soon as she entered the room, she heard movement on the bed.

Knowing that it was Song Que, Qin Xiaoyao quickly entered the room and placed the bowl and chopsticks on the bedside cabinet.

Then, she took out the fire sparks retainer.

The weak light of the fire instantly lit up a small area. Then, Qin Xiaoyao saw Song Que, who had turned over and was looking at her.

The man’s eyes were dark and bright, and Qin Xiaoyao’s heart skipped a beat when she saw them.

Qin Xiaoyao only came back to her senses when she saw him frowning.

Then, she lit the oil lamp on the table.

“Tonight’s dinner is a little late today. You take your dinner first, honey. I’ll come back later to collect the utensils,” she said.

Song Que didn’t move. He only looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a guarded expression.

Qin Xiaoyao felt very helpless. “Well, I’ll take my leave first.” After saying that, she left.

Although she wanted to look at the handsome man a while longer, her stomach was more important. She had been busy for half a day and was very hungry now.

Besides, she was afraid that if she didn’t go back, the three people in the kitchen dared not start eating.

Qin Xiaoyao’s worry was spot on.

When she went back next door, she saw that the three of them were indeed sitting at the table, but none of them touched anything.

When they saw her return, just like at noon, they all looked at her in unison but then quickly looked away.

With a smile on her face, Qin Xiaoyao strode toward the three of them.

“Let’s eat.” After she sat down, she began to eat.
