Chapter 8: Family time
Aur smiled when he saw his sister as he rotated himself, causing her to rotate as well like a roller-coaster.
"Hehehe." Ava giggled as she enjoyed the roller-coaster.
Finally, Aur stopped after a moment, seeing that she was getting nauseous with the rotation.
"You are the best brother," Ava said as she kissed him on the cheeks before running off.
Aur shook his head as he sighed, "These little girls are growing up," he thought to himself.
When he was five, his little sister was born, which made him undoubtedly happy. He was an orphan in his previous life, and the loving embrace of his father and mother was all he could ask for. Now that he had a sister as well, he was even more grateful.
Unlike his previous world, eight years in this world was almost equivalent to his growth as a sixteen-year-old. That meant that Aur was in his adolescent years now. However, people didn't age in the same proportion as his previous world, meaning that they stayed in their youth peak time for longer.
If, in his previous life, an adult was considered a person between 18 to 40, then in this world, it was 10 to 50 for an ordinary person.
This lifespan gap was a distinctive feature of this world compared to his previous one, as the natural lifespan here was much greater.
While Aur still wasn't considered an adult, he was already at the age where he needed to help out his family with chores and financial matters.
"Aur, why are you coming to the kitchen?"
"To cook, of course."
"My son is so cute; he is already helping me out with house chores, and I would love to eat your roasted meat. You have the best of it."
"Of course, I am the best," Aur said proudly as he started to cook with a serious expression.
"I will cook it medium-rare..."
"Eh, what does that mean?" Evelyn said with confusion.
"Nothing," Aur replied as he cleaned the meat. Seeing no reply from him, Evelyn just shrugged her shoulders and started to help him.
Although it might seem like Aur was helping her, in actuality, it was better to say she was assisting rather than cooking.
Aur had always liked cooking; however, in his previous life, due to how little time he had, he could hardly cook. But now, in this world, he had started to cook when he was five and had already mastered the art of cooking, even becoming better than his mother, who had taught him to cook.
.....
Just as the day passed, and it was already evening, the lights of all the houses were lit, as it was dinner time.
Aur was in a trance by the delicious smell that wafted into his nose as he nodded his head with a satisfied expression.
"Brother, is the food ready?" The voice of Ava came from outside the kitchen room.
"Yes, Ava," Aur said as he was still basking in the smell. Besides him, his mother was also almost hypnotised by the meat.
"Aur, be honest with me. What meat is this?" Evelyn said with a frown on her face.
When Aur heard this, he expressionlessly said, "It's tier-one beast meat," in a simple tone as he enjoyed the smell of the meat before he took a small piece and chewed it.
Instantly, Aur felt as if he was in heaven as the flavour of the meat exploded in his mouth; the meat was succulent and tender at the same time while juicy.
Evelyn's eyes widened as she heard him say that word and eat the meat, basically ignoring her.
"I will question you later..." she muttered, as she didn't want to ruin her daughter's birthday as well as Aur, who was going to awaken tomorrow.
Creak!
The kitchen door opened as Ava entered the room, sparkles in her eyes, instantly captivated by the delicious smell of the meat that almost filled the entire kitchen.
"Brother, you are the best." She went to Aur and hugged him again while rubbing her face against him.
Aur's gaze turned tender as he patted her.
"I am home."
Adam's voice came from outside, which made Ava's eyes instantly light up.
"Dad is finally home; now we can finally eat..." she looked at the meat with greedy eyes.
"My little pig sister," Aur pinched her nose as he shook his head helplessly while Evelyn just assisted in serving dinner.
"I will go and lead Dad to come here." Ava said as she hurriedly walked away.
"Be careful, this little girl. She only cares about food..." he shook his head, while Evelyn too shook her head.
"Aur, you should teach me how you make even these dishes such an art." Evelyn purred while sitting at the table as she looked at her son plating the dinner like an artist, making it very appealing to the eyes.
"Just learn it from the master chef who had a gun pointed at their head, tell them to give away all their secrets, and you will be...." Aur murmured with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Huh, what did you say?"
"Nothing." Aur just shook his head as he placed all the plates in their respective positions for the family of four.
"Dad, come fast, look what brother has cooked."
"No matter what he cooks, it is better anyway..." Adam said helplessly as he was led by his little daughter.
However, the moment he entered the dining table, his eyes lit up as he looked at the table where the rice, meat, and vegetables were masterfully arranged. However, his gaze was only drawn towards the meat.
"Son... this... this..."
"You should eat first before asking a question," Aur said with a smile on his face.
"Alright." Adam sighed. After all, Aur was going to be an adult soon in two years and be responsible for himself. Since an early age, he has always shown intelligence and maturity surpassing his peers. So naturally, Adam decided to trust in his child.
