"Alright, stop playing. Let's start the barbecue."
Kim Ya-jin put two large pieces of black pork in the middle of the pot. Beside the pot, there were vegetables such as chives.
The pot was round, and the middle was high and the sides were low. When the meat in the middle was barbecued, the oil flowing out would flow to the vegetables beside the pot, which would make the vegetables taste more fragrant.
"Mummy, what does the meat taste like?"
The little girl followed Li Xu up and down. Now that she smelled the aroma of the barbecue, she couldn't help but drool.
"You'll know later." Kim Ya-jin pinched Bao'er's little nose lovingly.
She turned the meat over and soon it was cooked.
"Sister Yazhen, let me do it. You've worked hard today."
Li Xu took the scissors first and cut the barbecue into pieces.
Lin Yuqing picked up the smallest piece of barbecue meat and blew on it. Then she dipped it in barbecue sauce and wrapped it in perilla leaves with pickles. She put it in front of the little girl's mouth.
"Bao'er, you've worked hard today. Open your mouth."
"Thank you, Auntie."
The little girl smiled sweetly and then opened her mouth wide like a cute little frog. "Awoo ~ ~ ~"
"Is it delicious?"
"Oh ~ ~ ~ It's delicious. It's really delicious. This leaf was washed by Bao'er."
The little girl stepped on the short table and shook her small body with a smile on her face. Her mouth was puffed up, and her cute appearance was very lovable.
Lin Yuqing wrapped another piece of barbecue meat and put it in front of Li Xu's mouth.
"Open your mouth."
Li Xu, who was still cutting the barbecue meat with scissors, immediately beamed with joy. "I knew you still care about me."
"Awoo ~ ~ ~"
It had to be said that the black pork looked very fatty, but when it was wrapped in perilla leaves and pickles, it tasted very fragrant and refreshing.
Lin Yuqing looked at Li Xu's happy face with amusement. This guy was easy to satisfy and greedy. She didn't know how to be angry with him.
The setting sun sprinkled the glow of the sunset over the small courtyard. The five of them sat around a short table and ate barbecued meat. The thick smell of life was accompanied by the sound of laughter from time to time.
By the time they finished eating the barbecued meat, the sky had completely darkened. The lights on the porch illuminated the small courtyard.
Li Xu volunteered to clean up the tableware and began to wash them in the courtyard. The little girl also followed him around and helped.
After tidying up, Li Xu saw the three of them sitting at a short table, chatting and enjoying the cool air. He brought the little girl over to them.
Li Xu kicked off his slippers and jumped onto the short table. The little girl also followed his example and kicked off her slippers. Unfortunately, even though the short table was only 20 centimeters high, she couldn't jump onto it. She could only use her short hands to support herself as she climbed up.
Li Xu forcibly squeezed himself between Lin Yuqing and Kim Jin-hee and asked shamelessly, "What are you guys talking about? Let me join in, okay? "
The little girl lay on the table and moved to her mother's side like a caterpillar. "Bao'er also wants to join in."
Kim Jin-hee glanced at the little girl. "We are talking about how we should teach Bao'er to read the Thousand-Character Classic."
"Alas! It's not interesting. "
The little girl pretended to sigh. Her short hands moved quickly, and then she shrank back like a caterpillar. "Uncle, let's go watch Bao Lulu. We don't want to chat with them."
The little girl's real appearance amused everyone. Li Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only take the tablet and prepare to watch cartoons with the little girl.
Li Jiu sat at the corner of the short table. He picked up the tablet and started playing Bao Lulu. The little girl nestled into Li Jiu's arms with familiarity. She curled up into a ball and stared at the tablet.
After watching for a while, the little girl in Li Xu's arms felt uncomfortable in the same position for a long time, so she simply lay on the side and crossed her legs to rest.
The little girl learned this action from Li Xu, and now she was more familiar with it.
"Bao'er wants to rest for a while. Uncle, stop."
Li Xu sighed with emotion. Bao'er's life was really comfortable. He picked up the phone and played a game while waiting for the little girl to inform him that the intermission was over.
"Uncle, Mom, look." The little girl lying on the side exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
"There are stars in the sky."
Li Xu was stunned and looked up. There was no trace of the moon, but the stars dotted the night sky, like gems inlaid on a dark curtain, dazzling and eye-catching.
He had forgotten how long it had been since he saw the stars. With the development of society, it was more and more difficult to see the stars in the city. Moreover, the neon lights in the city made people rarely look up at the night sky.
Throwing away the tablet in his hand, Li Xu lay down.
The night wind blew, and under the river of stars, his whole heart seemed to be opened up.
"It's so beautiful."
Lin Yuqing lay next to Li Xu and stared at the brilliant river of stars in a daze. There seemed to be stars shining in her eyes.
"Yes, it's so beautiful."
Kim Jin-hee stretched out her hand and observed the twinkling stars through the gaps of her fingers. Kim Ya-jin next to her was also stunned and didn't speak.
Four adults and one child were lying on the large low table in the courtyard, intoxicated by the magnificence of the Milky Way.
Suddenly, Li Xu shouted at the top of his voice, "Bao'er."
"Hey? Uncle, why are you so loud? "
The little girl next to him was startled by Li Xu's voice.
Li Xu cupped his hands like a trumpet and faced the direction of the sky, "You have to grow up healthily."
"I know, Bao'er has to grow up healthily."
The little girl giggled, and her bell-like laughter echoed in everyone's ears.
Lin Yuqing followed Li Xu's example and opened her hands to her mouth, "Bao'er has to grow up healthily and happily."
Kim Jin-hee and Kim Ya-jin didn't want to be left behind, "Bao'er has to grow up healthily and happily."
The blessings for the little girl echoed in the small courtyard. Bao'er was so excited that she rolled on the low table.
Li Xu raised the trumpet again, "Lin Yuqing."
"Yes."
"I love you."
"Ah! What nonsense are you talking about? "
Lin Yuqing was shy. She leaned her head on Li Xu's shoulder and put her cheek on Li Xu's shoulder as if she was afraid of being seen by others.
However, Li Xu said this sentence in Chinese. In fact, except for her, no one could understand.
The little girl said naively, "Uncle, what are you saying? Bao'er doesn't understand. "
Li Xu ignored the little girl. He glanced at Kim Jin-hee and cupped his hands like a trumpet again.
However, before he could speak, Kim Jin-hee had already imitated him and cupped her hands to the sky and shouted, "Li Xu, Lin Yuqing."
"What?" Li Xu was stunned.
"On the day of the first snow, can we still eat barbecue?"
Without waiting for Li Xu to reply, Lin Yuqing cupped her hands to the sky and replied, "Of course!"
"Then can Bao'er drink coke?" The little girl took advantage of the opportunity.
"No problem. On the day of the first snow, I will drink two bottles of white wine."
Li Xu boasted shamelessly. Lin Yuqing covered her mouth and snickered.
With Li Xu's alcohol tolerance, two bottles of beer would make him want to go to the river to catch turtles. Two bottles of white wine would make him want to go to the sky.
The little girl took it seriously, "Uncle, let's pinky swear. Don't go back on your word."
"Okay." Li Xu and the little girl ticked and stamped. "Sister Yazhen also wants to come."
"Yes."
"We agreed that on the day of the first snow, the whole family will be together."
