But after all, Mr. Mu was getting on in years. Even though he was sitting while holding Little Reunion, after a long ti he beca a bit tired. So when Little Reunion wanted to get down, he didn’t insist and placed him down instead.
As soon as Little Reunion was on the sofa, he picked up a toy next to him and started playing. At this mont, the Little Fox, which had been staying in the room, also ran out.
It was the first ti Mr. Mu and Housekeeper Lin saw the Little Fox, and they couldn’t help being amazed as they looked at Father Jiang and asked, "Mr. Jiang, how co there’s a fox at your ho, is it Jiang Xue’s pet?"
In Beijing, there were indeed quite a few people who kept pets. But those people kept cats and dogs, while Jiang Xue surprisingly had a fox.
"I’m not really sure about this, it seems that the fox ca to us on its own. Moreover, this fox likes to play with Little Reunion."
Upon hearing Father Jiang’s words, Mr. Mu looked at the child and the fox playing together and beca even more surprised.
The Little Fox was playing with Little Reunion while also listening to Mr. Mu and Father Jiang. When it heard Father Jiang say it ca on its own, it was full of black lines.
Alright, let’s just say it ca on its own.
Jiang Xue and Mrs. Jiang were busying themselves with dinner in the kitchen, and since the two of them worked together, the speed was quite fast. An hour later, the al was ready: a bowl of boiled fish slices, spicy diced chicken, Jiang Xue’s pickled radish, a bowl of braised pork, garlic greens, and a tomato egg soup.
There weren’t many dishes, but the portions were abundant.
Moreover, Jiang Xue was a good cook. As soon as the food was out of the wok, the entire house was filled with a fragrant aroma, making Mr. Mu, accustod to gourt food, swallow his saliva uncontrollably.
Housekeeper Lin, slling the aroma, was a bit tempted as well. He glanced in the kitchen’s direction and then said to Mr. Mu, "Master, the young lady’s cooking slls wonderful."
"Haha, are the greedy bugs in your stomach coming out?" Mr. Mu laughed heartily, eager to have a taste.
Luckily, they didn’t have to wait long, as Mrs. Jiang soon ca out and placed the dishes on the dining table.
After setting the table, she walked over to everyone with a smile and said, "Mr. Mu, Housekeeper Lin, Old Jiang, it’s ti to eat."
At this mont, Jiang Xue brought out the final soup.
Upon hearing that it was ti to eat, Little Reunion stopped playing, sat up, and looked at Jiang Xue with open arms, as if asking for a hug.
"Xue’er, take everyone to eat, I’ll take care of Little Reunion," Mrs. Jiang said to Jiang Xue. After all, Mr. Mu was a guest, and Jiang Xue, as the host, couldn’t afford to be impolite.
"Mom, it’s okay, I can hold the child. We’ll eat together," Jiang Xue said as she picked up Little Reunion.
Since she was holding the child, Jiang Xue didn’t serve herself any food. Fortunately, Housekeeper Lin was used to serving others, so even when at Jiang Xue’s house, he didn’t consider himself a guest and continued to serve Mr. Mu as before.
Seeing Mr. Mu being attended to, Mrs. Jiang felt at ease and sat down on a chair with Jiang Xue. Due to the ti, Jiang Xue didn’t prepare rice porridge for Little Reunion in the evening but gave him a bottle of milk instead.
After so training, Little Reunion wasn’t as picky anymore. Whether it was milk powder, rice porridge, or perhaps bamboo marrow, he would drink it.
Moreover, he didn’t need anyone to feed him while drinking milk now; he just held the little bottle and drank by himself.
