Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Kang Li Is Taught by Xiao Ming Rui to Be Cute to His Sister Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Kang Li Is Taught by Xiao Ming Rui to Be Cute to His Sister After watching Mrs. Qi leave with her grandchild and Comrade He Feng, Kang Li called out to Xiao Ming Rui and the other two to return to the courtyard.
âYou guys go play with Little Uncle, Iâll go make us lunch right away.â
âVivi wants to stay with mom.â
âHanhan wants to stay with mom too.â
The twins with mixed sex shook their heads and followed closely behind Kang Li with their little short legs.
âMom, Vivi knows how to pick vegetables!â
âI can do it too.â
âStinky Hanhan, donât copy me!â
âIâm the brother, not Stinky Hanhan!â
Xiao Ming Rui: âYou canât fight.â
âIâm not fighting. Hanhan is copying the way I talk.â
Xiao Ming Wei defended herself.
âYou say yours and Iâll say mine. I didnât copy you at all, blah blah blahâ¦â
Giving her sister a glare, Xiao Ming Han made a funny face.
âMing Han is the second brother; you canât call him by his name.â
Xiao Ming Rui, with a stern face, scolded his sister Ming Wei.
âI got it!â
Pouting, Xiao Ming Wei was actually quite dissatisfied.
Why did she have to call Stinky Hanhan brother when he was the same age as her? Couldnât he call her sister?
Listening to the twins bickering, Kang Li found the two little ones both funny and cute and was also charmed by Xiao Ming Rui.
Such a little guy, with a serious face, spoke like an old man. So funny!
âLi Bao, let me help you cook!â
Kang Guoan came into the kitchen and rolled up his shirt sleeves, ready to help.
âNo need,â Kang Li shook her head and refused, saying, âBig brother, take Ruirui, Hanhan, and Vivi to the living room to play. I can cook very quickly; itâll be ready soon.â
Familiar with the kitchen, Kang Li quickly washed the pots and pans, then she cracked eggs and made dough, picked and washed vegetables, and washed a piece of pork along with two slices of tofu skin, plus two tomatoes and some soaked wood ear mushrooms.
Before long, she diced the pork and long beans and prepared the other ingredients, including green onions, ginger, and garlic.
Kang Li was making noodle soup, and after preparing the sauce, she rolled out two types of noodles, one thicker and one thinner.
The reason for this was that she considered Xiao Ming Rui and the twins to be young with developing digestive systems and was worried that thicker, heavier noodles would be hard for the kids to digest.
Moreover, Kang Li cooked the sauce longer to ensure the meat dices were thoroughly and tenderly cooked for the three little ones.
âBig brother, lunch is ready. Please bring Ruirui and the others to wash their hands, and by the way, could you call dad and Big Brother Kang?â
Kang Liâs voice came from the kitchen.
Following her words, Kang Guoanâs voice rang out: âAll right!â
Two or three minutes later.
âLi Bao, Big Brother Kang is here to help.â
After taking the cooked noodles from Kang Liâs hands, Big Brother Kang carried them to the living room. Soon after, he returned to the kitchen to carry out the sauce, making a few trips, until the dining table in the living room was fully set.
âRuirui, come on, this is for you and your brother and sister.â
After serving the noodles into small bowls for Xiao Ming Rui and the twins, Kang Li poured the special sauce she made for them, stirred with chopsticks for a moment, and placed the bowls in front of the three little ones: âTry it and see if it tastes good. If you like it, Iâll make it for you again.â
Before Xiao Ming Rui could react, the twins raised their voices sweetly: âThank you, mom!â Since they couldnât yet use chopsticks, Kang Li broke the noodles in their bowls into short pieces with a spoon, making it easier for them to eat.
âMomâs noodles smell so good!â
With a spoon in hand, Vivi took a bite of the noodles, delight covering her little face as she casually flattered Kang Li.
Not to be outdone, Hanhan swallowed the noodles in his mouth, nodding his little head vigorously: âSister is right, momâs noodles are delicious!â
âTasty.â
