Chapter 1138: I'm Going to Get Food For My Brother

Fortunately, he hadn’t gone far.

Bai Zhun looked at the pink little face in front of him and deeply reflected on himself.

Little Baldy didn’t know that her fall had broken Bai Zhun’s heart, and she still said seriously, “I secretly called the Chancellor stupid just now. I won’t say that about him anymore. If I really miss him, I’ll go back up the mountain and beat him up.”

Bai Zhun was speechless.

“I think he would prefer you to secretly scold him in your heart.”

This was the first time he knew what it meant to not know whether to laugh or cry.

The Little Baldy’s hands had not been washed yet.

Bai Zhun took a look and found that this child was indeed too short and could barely reach the sink. Without thinking, he took the Little Baldy’s hands in his.

Bai Zhun was originally from the military and this was his first time serving others. First he pumped some hand soap onto her hands, then he turned on the tap and looked down at Ajiu’s hands as he washed them for her.

Little Baldy saw that her hands were full of bubbles, and her eyes widened.

This silly and cute expression made Bai Zhun feel like he was doing a good job. He felt that the child he adopted was completely different from the children in other families.

It wasn’t that he had never come into contact with children before. But regardless of whether they were younger or his age, they were always so rowdy and noisy.

But the child in his own house was very cute.

“I’m done washing,” Little Baldy said as her tiny stomach growled.

Only now did Bai Zhun truly believe that the child was really hungry and wasn’t just saying it casually.

It was also fortunate that Auntie Wang was quick in cooking. When she heard that the young master wanted to eat vegetarian food, she brought back a young monk with her. She chopped up the long beans and green onions and placed them in a wooden basin. Then, she fried six eggs, chopped them up, and placed them inside as well. After that, she placed some peanut oil and thirteen spices together and mixed them together before using these to fill up some buns.

The buns were steamed in a pot while she she used the other side of the kitchen to prepare porridge. She put dates in the porridge. After it was done, Auntie Wang lit the stove again and made a braised eggplant, fried tofu, pickled cucumber, and some bean paste buns.

These were basically food that all children liked eating.

Little Baldy had just come downstairs with Bai Zhun when she smelled the rich aroma of the steamed buns. She ran over to where the smell was coming from.

She saw that a woman was standing in the kitchen.

Little Baldy’s happy little face immediately changed. She quietly moved toward Bai Zhun and asked, “Big brother, why is there a woman in the house? Isn’t it very scary?”

Bai Zhun recalled the child saying that the woman at the foot of the mountain was a tiger, and he couldn’t help but laugh. “Auntie Wang isn’t scary. Look, she’s even cooking for you.”

“Cooking?” Little Baldy leaned on Bai Zhun’s back, and peeked her little head out. She sized up Auntie Wang, who was smiling at her. “Just like how Senior Brother Xuan Hong in the temple is in charge of our meals?”

Bai Zhun nodded.

Little Baldy immediately stood up straight. “That’s not scary. Those who know how to cook are not scary.”

Auntie Wang was already amused by this child’s logic. Moreover, little Ajiu was originally very likable in the first place. Her small face was round and smooth, and her skin was white and tender. Coupled with her bright and big eyes, anyone who saw her would like her.

The vegetable buns were still not done yet, but the bean paste buns were already ready. They were originally bought from the supermarket, so they could be eaten after being heated up. They were just done heating up in the pot.

Auntie Wang saw that the child was looking at her anxiously and knew that the child was hungry. She took out a bean paste bun from the pot and handed it to Xuan Jiu.

Little Baldy was stunned by the sudden surprise. She stretched out two chubby little hands and held the bean paste bun like it was a great treasure to her. She bowed and said, “Amitabha. Thank you, Madam Benefactor.”

Madam Benefactor? Auntie Wang could not help but laugh when she heard this title.

The bean paste bun was still very hot. Little Baldy passed it from one hand to another repeatedly. Just as she opened her mouth to take a bite, Bai Zhun stopped her.

Little Baldy raised her head and her cat tail was still wagging. “Big brother, do you want to eat too?”

“I don’t want to eat.” Bai Zhun sat the child down on a chair by the dining table. Then, he took her bean paste bun and placed it on the plate. He first poked a hole with his wooden chopsticks and blew on it. After he felt that it was no longer hot, he fed it to Xuan Jiu.

Little Baldy whimpered and took a big bite. “It’s so sweet!”

Of course bean paste was sweet. Bai Zhun chuckled and reached out to wipe Little Baldy’s mouth. Then, he continued to feed her with his chopsticks.

Bai Zhun was not that old himself. No matter how smart he was, he was still a nine-year-old child. Now that he was feeding the Little Baldy, who was two sizes smaller than him, it formed a beautiful scene to look at.

Auntie Wang, on the other hand, was a little stunned as she watched from the side. Although their young master didn’t have a difficult personality…

He had never been so close to anyone before.

The children in the courtyard basically all listened to the young master and didn’t act mischievously in front of him at all.

This wasn’t because of the Bai family’s rank in the military, but because the young master gave off the aura of a superior person as soon as he stood there.

Those children were well-behaved when they saw the young master, and the young master never used other people’s things.

Now… he was actually feeding the child with a bean paste bun?

Actually, this was nothing. If Auntie Wang found out that her young master was not only feeding the child, but also washed the child’s hands, she would definitely be shocked.

One bean paste bun was obviously not enough for Little Baldy. After it was all eaten, little Ajiu turned her head to look at Auntie Wang.

Auntie Wang’s heart softened under the gaze of those big, watery eyes. She lifted the lid of the pot and wanted to get another one for the child.

“You’re not allowed to eat any more.” Bai Zhun’s voice was very indifferent. “Buddha said that you have to eat a proper lunch. How are you going to eat vegetables and porridge if you eat so many bean paste buns now?”

Little Baldy frowned. “I can eat all of them.”

“When the vegetables buns are cooked, eat them with vegetables.” Bai Zhun rolled up the sleeves of her monk robe for her. “Only then will you grow taller.”

In the temple, there were usually many staples and few side dishes. However, Little Baldy always had more than others.

“Buddha Wuli also said that we should eat more vegetables.” Although Little Baldy was sad that she wasn’t getting any more buns, she still obediently put down her chopsticks and sat on the chair while waiting for the meal to begin.

Auntie Wang moved even faster this time. She stirred the wok and soon, the steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables were brought to the dining table. There were also a few small plates meant for vinegar and chili oil.

Little Baldy liked spicy food the most, and Bai Zhun didn’t need to feed her anymore. She held a bun with one hand and dipped it into vinegar and chili oil and a small spoon in the other as she drank the porridge.

She ate like everything was delicious, so even Bai Zhun felt that he had an appetite.

However, just as he lowered his head, he saw that the steamed bun in Little Baldy’s hand was finished, followed by the second, the third… the sixth? !

Bai Zhun turned his head and saw that the silly child’s mouth was stuffed with food. Her cheeks were puffy, and she moved her mouth like a little squirrel. At the same time, she also lowered her head and take a mouthful of rice porridge. There was even a piece of the bun skin hanging from the corner of her little mouth…
