Chapter 573 Wait and see what happens
Yu Wanwan didn’t understand what was wrong with him, so she just stuffed him a bowl of prepared milk tea and went to look for the children outside.
Xia Wanniang shouted at her back, "Don't give it to Xibao and the other three little ones."
Yu Wanwan quickly replied loudly: "Got it."
Xia Wanniang took a spoonful of milk tea and put it into her mouth. She looked at Xu Li who was motionless and said, "Don't you want to try it? It tastes better than what you usually drink."
Xu Li looked down at the bowl in his hand, picked up the spoon beside him, scooped a mouthful into his mouth, and the corners of his lips slowly rose: "It's really delicious."
"Master Xu, I'm very touched that someone would do this for me." Xia Wanniang smiled and took another bite: "It tastes really good. I think it would be great to let Xiaowan open a milk tea shop in the future."
Xu Li didn't say anything else, just ate the milk tea in the bowl.
Today he didn't rush back, but stayed for dinner.
Xiao Zimu and Xia Wanniang told the government about the invitation from the fat chef.
Xia Wanniang agreed readily and asked Yu Wanwan to take them to the yamen tomorrow.
Yu Wanwan was still a little worried that Xu Li would object, so she secretly glanced in the direction where he was sitting several times. Seeing that he didn't react at all, his face was full of smiles.
After dinner, Xu Li had some official business to attend to, so he said goodbye to them and left.
Aunt Xiao came to see Xia Wanniang: "Wanniang."
Xia Wanniang no longer even has the job of coaxing the children, as all that job has been taken away by the several children in the family. Now she has become a mother who only has to accompany her children to sleep at night.
She came out of the room: "Mom, why are you here?"
"I have something on my mind, so I have to ask. If I don't find out, I will be very anxious." Aunt Xiao looked into the house: "Are the two little ones asleep?"
Xia Wanniang nodded: "Sleep."
Aunt Xiao saw that the moonlight was good today, and she could enjoy the moon and the snow: "Let's go sit outside for a while."
Xia Wanniang took out two thick cushions with backrests from the space, placed them under the eaves at the door of the room, and took out tea sets to make tea.
Aunt Xiao waved her hand and said, "No more tea at night. It's easy for people to have trouble sleeping when they get older."
Xia Wanniang thought for a moment and took out Perilla and American ginseng from the space: "Mom, drinking this will help you sleep."
Aunt Xiao smiled and nodded: "I'll listen to you."
Xia Wanniang slowly cooked basil and American ginseng: "Mom, do you want to ask about Master Xu and Xiao Wan?"
Aunt Xiao nodded and said, "Ali grew up under my watch. Although I don't know why Princess Ling'an died suddenly of illness, I can see that he has changed a lot since then."
Xia Wanniang naturally noticed it, and although she looked playful on the surface, she was probably still not letting it go in her heart: "Mother, I didn't mean to hide Princess Ling'an's affairs from you. It involves too many things."
Aunt Xiao waved her hand: "I'm not here to ask about Princess Ling'an, I want to ask about Xiao Wan and A Li. I think Xiao Wan really likes A Li!"
This time, Xia Wanniang did not hide the truth from Aunt Xiao. She told her in detail how they met and what the current situation was.
Aunt Xiao blinked her eyes and said, "It would be great if Ah Li could figure it out. Xiao Wan is a good girl. I like her because she works hard for others and never gives up."
She smiled and said, "I don't think Ali is completely uninterested in her."
Xia Wanniang poured her a cup of cooked basil and American ginseng: "Mother, the authorities are often confused, but I see that Master Xu is not in a hurry to return to the government office today, maybe there have been some changes."
Aunt Xiao smelled the aroma in the cup: "It smells pretty good."
Xia Wanniang also picked up a cup and took a sip: "The time is still a little short. It will taste better if you cook it for a little longer until the flavor of the ginseng slices comes out."
Aunt Xiao smiled and nodded: "Then let them develop freely, and we will wait and see what happens!"
Xia Wanniang also thought of the two people who had been away for almost a year. It seemed that they had not sent any news back for a long time, and she didn't know whether they had found a partner.
Aunt Xiao: "Any news about Yunhe and Qingfeng? These two kids have been gone for a long time, how come there is no news at all?"
Xia Wanniang was also very puzzled. These two people seemed like missing persons after going out. Should she ask Mr. Qiu to check their whereabouts tomorrow?
"I'll ask tomorrow."
