Time Travel Adventure

Chapter 269 Hongdou's Honesty

"Miss, I want to eat the snacks I made. They taste a bit like chestnut cake." I didn't look into Hongdou's eyes, but his burning gaze let me know that this guy was looking at me.

"Oh, I haven't cooked for a long time. Let's go now." He left and went to the kitchen. There was no one inside. It was past dinner time and everyone was going to sleep, so the ingredients were probably all there.

"Come, give me a hand." I rolled up my sleeves and called Hongdou to help. She followed me and did it countless times. We packed up the things tacitly, and during the process we started chatting occasionally.

"Has Chunlan written to me recently?" Hongdou just wanted to ask how Zi Fu was doing recently. She thought about it and shook her head.

"I don't know what's wrong with Sister Chunlan recently. I sent several letters but she didn't get a reply." Hongdou answered me as she put the pastries in the steamer and placed them on the tray.

"Nothing will happen, right?" I couldn't help but feel a little worried. It's been several days, and there's still no news.

"Don't worry, young lady. Nothing will happen with the master here. The master is a god!" Yes, I was really overthinking. My father's medical skills are still top-notch.

I lit the fire myself and started to heat the pot. The heating temperature is very important. Hongdou couldn't control it well, so I filled it with wood and she sat next to me and passed it to me.

"Miss, what should you do with the Bai family's betrothal gift?" We were silent for a long time. I was staring at the flames in a daze, but was brought back to my senses by Hongdou's words.

"Dowry, dowry, I don't know." I almost forgot about this matter. Compared with what Xiaobai did, I also remembered what Master Shen did.

No matter what he should do, he should find a way to deal with Ling'er as soon as possible. As long as Ling'er doesn't marry Shen Jing and sends him away, the matter between Shen Jing and me will be over.

Just wait for Zi Fu to come back and take good care of the people, and then study how to return to modern society. Speaking of time travel, I thought of the TV series I saw before. I remember there was a tree in the TV series.

I don't know what I have here. I wrote it down and will study it later. Before I knew it, I was in a daze.

Seeing me in deep thought, Hongdou probably thought I was worried about Xiaobai giving the bride price.

"Miss, if, if you really don't want to, just go. The money I have now is definitely enough for you to live in peace for a long time." Hongdou looked me in the eyes and said to me sincerely.

At this moment, my heart was still warm. It turned out that Hongdou really cared about me so much. "What about after a period of time?"

"Business is pretty good now. I'm sure I can find a way. I have a way." Hongdou said this with less and less confidence. No wonder, with our current strength, we can't fight against the Bai family.

Now no one is causing trouble in Hongdou's shop, and I am the one keeping watch behind the scenes. I really don't know how worried I would be about Hongdou if I were no longer around.

He patted Hong's little head and said, "I'm not a little white rabbit. I'm fine. You guys have to be fine. Only when you're fine can I do my work with peace of mind."

Hongdou nodded as if she understood, and it was a bit funny. He secretly got some dust on his hand, and when Hongdou wasn't paying attention, he touched it directly on Hongdou's face.
