February 18, 291 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

The first day and evening when Su Cheng and others went to Carol's hometown.

Gudu, gudu, gudu

The hot soup in the iron pot kept bubbling because of the high temperature.

Sitting next to the iron pot, Su Cheng kept stirring it with a spoon.

"Unexpectedly, Su Cheng, you can cook."

"Eliza, what is' I can cook '?" Su Cheng threw a helpless look at Eliza sitting next to him waiting for dinner. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who thinks cooking is what women should do, and as a man, I shouldn't have cooking skills?"? Although my cooking level is not very good, I can still cook some simple dishes, such as cloth style pot dishes. "

Su Cheng not only covered the day's driving task, but also covered today's dinner.

Tonight, Su Cheng cooked his best and simplest cloth style pot dish.

"By the way -" Su Cheng continued, "among the four people present, Eliza, you can't cook. Alan, she can also cook some simple dishes."

"Yes, yes!" Alan, who was also sitting beside Su Cheng waiting for dinner, echoed at this time, "I will also make some simple dishes, although I don't often do them."

"How do you know I can't cook!"

"Because Eliza, you are a noble. Aren't nobles a group of people who have no ability to take care of themselves? "

"Su Cheng! You've gone too far! " Eliza stared angrily at Su Cheng.

As soon as Eliza's voice fell, Carol's voice rang:

"I'm back. I've fed all the carrier pigeons. "

Carol just went to feed the 10 carrier pigeons they brought from Avalon fortress.

The carrier pigeon's message transmission depends on the homing of the carrier pigeon. In short, it depends on the habit that the carrier pigeon will return to its nest.

The 10 carrier pigeons brought out by Su Cheng are located in Avalon fortress. Once Su Cheng encounters any emergency and needs to notify Willie, he can send a message back to Avalon fortress through these 10 carrier pigeons.

"Carol, you came back just in time." Su Cheng said with a smile, "my cloth pot is just finished. Come on, you all bring your bowls. "

Su Cheng took Eliza's bowl nearest to him, added a lot of sausages to Eliza's bowl, and then handed it back to Eliza, who was still angry at Su Cheng's words.

"Well, don't be angry. Here, take it. I know you like sausages, so I added some more sausages for you. "

"Thank you..." Eliza looked surprised. "How do you know I like sausage?"

"Because you ate a lot of sausages at the celebration banquet of the Fei Hai battle." Su Cheng said as he took Alan's bowl and filled it with food. "At that time, I found that you like sausage."

After that, Su Cheng handed back the bowl full of ingredients to Alan.

Alan is not picky about food. There is nothing he likes or dislikes, so Su Cheng doesn't focus on adding any food to Alan.

"The celebration banquet of Fei Hai battle... You can find and remember such a small thing."

Eliza smiled happily.

Carol cast a complicated look.

Carol looks at Su Cheng, who is adding food to her bowl, with a little bitterness mixed with complexity.

"Here, Carol." Su Cheng handed Carol her bowl. "I know you like vegetables, so I specially added some more vegetables for you."

After taking over the bowl full of vegetables in Su Cheng's hand, Carol's expression finally looked better.

……

Four people chatted while eating.

Although Su Cheng and Alan are not brothers and sisters, they are very similar in many places, just like brothers and sisters.

For example - neither of them likes to talk at dinner.

So it's basically just Eliza and Carol chatting there.

"Carol, I have a question I've always wanted to ask you."

"What's the problem? You ask. "

"You told me before that you left your rural hometown when you were 14, didn't you?"

"Well, yes."

"Normally, few people leave their hometown alone at such a young age? Why did you leave your hometown? "

"I'm different from Deng Jiaer's struggle of leaving home to pursue my dream. I'm running away from home. I was so tired of my father that I ran away from home when I was 14. "

"Run away from home?!"

Compared with Eliza's big reaction, Su Cheng and Alan, who already knew what Carol had left their hometown for, continued to eat dinner silently.

"Tired of Dad..." Eliza looked at Carol incredulously. "Carol, what's the matter with you and your father? The relationship is so bad that you need to run away from home... "

"This is a long story."

Carol organized her words as she chewed the food in her mouth.

After a long silence, Carol said:

"My father's old-fashioned thinking bored me, so I ran out."

"Stereotyped thinking?"

"Yes. The people in our whole village are hirans who moved south from the Holy Hiran empire. The Holy Hiran empire is a country that values boys over girls. Hirans generally have the idea of valuing boys over girls. For example, my father has a very serious idea of valuing boys over girls. "

"My father's thinking is extremely old-fashioned. My father always thinks that girls should get married early. After getting married, they should take good care of their husband's house, housekeeper and children. If they go out to make money, they can leave it to their husband."

"My father and I have very different ideas."

"I think we women can do what men can do. Why can't women go out to make money? Why must they stay at home and do housework? "

"So I was very different from my father's thoughts. I quarreled with my father almost every day until I ran away from home because I was tired of my father when I was 14."

"Well..." Eliza threw a sympathetic look at Carol. "Are you still angry with your father, Carol?"

"After all these years, of course, I've not been angry for a long time. Although I haven't been home once in recent years, I've always sent letters back. While sending letters, I'll also send some money back to tell my parents that I'm doing well now. My parents also send letters to me from time to time. "

When it comes to this, Carol paused for a moment, and then changed into a nostalgic tone:

"I haven't been back for more than three years, and I don't know how my parents are now."

"Your parents will be very happy to see you go back." Eliza said with relief.

"I'm worried about how I'm going to face my parents I haven't seen for more than three years..." Carol said with a bitter smile. "I don't know what I should say after seeing them..."
