Son

People eat for food.

So after getting up early in the morning, the two of them nestled in the kitchen to study how to cook.

"Why is this rice mixed with so many stones? Don't you want to pick them out one by one?" Shen Xu grabbed a handful of rice and frowned.

Linqing took a bowl, scooped a spoonful, and carefully picked up the stones facing the sunlight.

"How about washing the rice? Like this?" Shen Xu squatted in front of a big basin, stirring the clear water and a small handful of sparse white rice in it.

Linqing held the bowl just now, pressed the rice with one hand, and slowly poured out the rice washing water.

"How much water do I need to add? One spoonful? Two spoonfuls?" Shen Xu shook the spoon, imitating a long stream of water, and poured water into the pot.

Linqing put his hand on the washed rice, poured water into the pot with the other hand, and meditated in his heart, it was enough to reach the back of his hand.

"How do you make a fire? Ah, the water is spilled!"

"..."

Linqing put the lid on the pot, picked up the scourge and threw it out of the kitchen, "Go and chop firewood!"

The scourge got up from the ground, touched his nose, and went away aggrieved.

Early in the morning, Shen Xu was almost pissed off.Lin Qing cheekily asked the neighbor's aunt how to cook rice, and planned to try it when she got home, but Shen Xu also got involved.

The consequence of this meddling is that the place in front of Linqing is a mess.

Thinking that he is not busy enough, just cooking is enough to torment people, and she also needs to help him clean up the mess, Lin Qing really wants to kick this young master out of the house.

Shen Xu chopped firewood in the courtyard for a while, his stomach was already beating with hunger.He waved the ax feebly, and he chopped a piece of wood into a wooden veneer. It was crooked and looked shabby.

It's so cold, the exposed hand holding the ax is so cold that she almost loses consciousness, Shen Xu retracts her hands into her sleeves, grabs the ax through the fabric, and sabotages work passively.

She sang with a high voice: "You have to work even if you don't give food, what a cruel landlord——possessed."

The "landlord wife" stood behind him with a dark face and a bowl of rice, and said coldly, "Just chop firewood for a day."

Shen Xu staggered and fell off the chair, hurriedly got up, and chased after Linqing, "The meal is ready? I'm so hungry, so hungry——"

Linqing was cooking rice for the first time, and there was another Shen Xu making trouble from the side, so I didn't expect it to be very good.

Shen Xu took a bite of the raw rice and said in a low voice, "Why is the bottom part mushy and the top part raw?"

Lin Qing blushed slightly, "Don't eat if you can't eat it!"

Shen Xu pouted, the real murderer.

Stuffed raw rice with fermented bean curd, this is today's breakfast.Shen Xu took a bite of the rice and poked some fermented bean curd, feeling very fond of yesterday's noodles.

Anyway, it is familiar.

Anyway, there is still a little oil.

Linqing was also very annoyed, after working hard all morning, he got this pot of half-cooked white rice. He felt sorry for the spoiled white rice, but also felt ashamed that he couldn't even learn how to cook rice.

Putting his head down and stuffing the food into his mouth desperately, his eyes were flushed with anger.

After the not-so-pleasant breakfast, Lin Qing was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Shen Xu was warming up by the fire in the hall.When Lin Qing came out of the kitchen after drying his hands, what he saw was a sleepy scene with his eyes squinted and nodding frequently.

Linqing felt that something was wrong.

A moment later, a scream accompanied by a roar came from the hall.

"Why don't you find a job!"

Shen Xu touched the butt that was kicked, and looked at him quite aggrieved, "Didn't I find it..."

I was stuck in Linqing, I went to the town yesterday, while I was shopping, I also asked about several places that recruited people, whether it was a restaurant for a waiter or a pier for bags. Seeing Shen Xu's appearance as a frail scholar, I didn't even bother to ask asked, and directly waved his hand to refuse.

But you can't just sit at home all day and spend your days leisurely.

Linqing fell into deep thought.

Right now, in the middle of winter, I just want to learn from my neighbors to plant a field, and it's not the season. Both of them are idlers who are used to being served by others. Now that they are away from Youyou, they will know how difficult life is.

No, he is the only one who knows, Shen Xu's elm-brained head has no idea that the current situation is difficult.

Linqing held her face in her hands, looking at the charcoal fire, worrying.

Shen Xu leaned on the back of the chair and narrowed his eyes to meet Zhou Gong.

Lin Qing glanced at him, how could she fall in love with such a useless person.

Shen Xu took a nap and felt comfortable all over. She stretched her waist and looked around, but she didn't see Lin Qing.

I searched all over the hall and room, and finally found Linqing squatting by the well in the backyard, washing clothes.

In winter, the well water was cold, and Linqing's hands were red from the cold, and the clothes in the basin seemed to weigh a thousand catties. After rubbing a few times, he had to cover his hands to prevent them from freezing.

Shen Xu looked at it for a while, her eyes were a little sore.

He thought that when he was 16 years old, it was a good time for a teenager, walking around with a lantern, ostentatiously walking through the market, carrying a few taels of silver in his arms, buying whatever he saw, meeting a few young men, and drinking flower wine together, so happy .

The young man in front of him was just as old as he was back then, with a slender body, thin clothes, black hair tied into a crown, washing clothes like a woman, using cold well water.

He suddenly couldn't stand it anymore.

Linqing rubbed his clothes a few times, pulled his hands out of the water again, and raised them to his lips, just as he was about to breathe, a pair of big warm hands suddenly covered his cold hands from behind, and the man hugged him gently, motionless , silent.

Lin Qing was startled.

Blush slowly burned from his cheeks, he straightened his body, and heard his own heartbeat clearly.

Boom, boom, boom, every hit is so heart-shattering.

He remembered that day when Zhang's housekeeper said to him: "Young Master Shen has taken a fancy to you, hurry up and pack your clothes, don't make people wait too long."

The strings of the qin were broken, and he looked from the pavilion. In June, the flowers were gorgeous, and under the steaming heat, the man in the pavilion by the bank stretched his sleeves and read.

Cang panic withdrew his gaze, his heart was beating fast, he didn't dare to look any further, he hugged the piano and ran away.

That's right, the affection in my chest corresponded to the panic that day, and the two phases coincided, and I knew that from the very beginning, I fell into the abyss set by this person.

Lin Qing closed her eyes, and the already glistening watery light slid down her cheeks.

After hugging for a while, Shen Xu said, "It's a bit cold."

"..."

Linqing threw him away, "There is fire in the hall, what are you doing here?"

Shen Xu glanced at his hands, "I'll get frostbite."

"Then let me wash it for you?"

Shen Xu quickly shook her head, "No, no, you're welcome..." He added: "Let's boil some hot water, so that your hands won't freeze."

Lin Qing glanced at him, "Don't you need money for firewood?"

"That ..." Shen Su's embarrassed expression, tangled, gathered courage to squat next to him, and lifted his sleeves, "I can help you together -ah ah ah ah, good ice!"

Shen Xu raised both hands and stuffed Linqing's neck, "It's so cold!"

Lin Qing couldn't avoid it, "Don't put ice on me!"

"It's really cold!"

"I told you not to freeze me!"

Shen Xu got kicked, not only his hands were cold, but his legs also hurt.

The two squatted facing each other in the hall to enjoy the fire, Lin Qing's face was ashen, and Shen Xu's face was aggrieved.

"How could you do this to me?" Shen Xu complained.

Linqing jumped violently, "It deserves it!"

"You are kind enough to help you wash your clothes. You don't appreciate it, but you still want to hit me. Hmph, even my dad hasn't hit me—huh? What does my dad look like..." The last sentence was in a very small voice. Said.

"No one asks for your help! Besides, isn't yours in the clothes?"

"Of course there is, but such things as washing clothes are women's duties, how can there be any reason for men to do it?"

Linqing took a deep breath, "Did you forget that I am also a man!"

Shen Xu looked at him innocently, "Aren't you my wife?"

"..." Lin Qing's breath stuck in his throat, and his eyes widened.

"Look, I begged you. Although we are both men, according to common sense, I should be your husband and you should be your wife, so you should do this kind of housework, right?"

Lin Qing's delicate face was flushed, and she couldn't say a word.

"Why don't you speak? Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Lin Qing bit her lip and frowned, trying to endure something.

Seeing his fierce look, Shen Xu thought he was brewing anger, shrank his neck, and shut his mouth.

It took a while for Linqing to return to normal. He glanced at Shen Xu and whispered, "You..."

"Ok?"

"Aren't you going to make peace with me..."

Shen Xu was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was referring to, and said pleasantly, "Have you figured it out? Huh, let me tell you, whoever is willing to surrender himself to serve another man? I'll give you back your freedom right now. It's still early Why don't you go to the county government office today, I'm afraid your deed was lost during the house raid, so let the county lord issue a judgment to prove that you have recovered—"

Linqing walked away.

Shen Xu was stunned again.

What does it mean?

He rubbed his nose, really wondering why this little boy changed his appearance all of a sudden.

Linqing sulked at a basin of laundry.

The piercing well water completely ignored it, and treated the inner shirt as an elm skull, pinching, wringing, rubbing, and throwing it, really angrily.

Even a heart made of iron was almost cracked by him.

One moment he said "I'm your husband and you are his wife", and the next moment he couldn't wait to get rid of him. I have never seen such a careless person. I really don't know what those concubines said, "When a silver saddle and a white horse enter a wine shop, they are always called Hu. Whether the young man who loves Ji the most" is right or wrong.

This is the Pian Pian who attracts the most attention from the red-sleeves, he is clearly a smoldering elm idiot!

fool!

After washing the clothes, Linqing was exhausted from venting her anger. After drying the clothes of the two of them, Linqing wiped her hands. When she turned around, the idiot huddled at the foot of the door, looking at him pitifully.

"Linqing, I'm hungry."

Eat, eat, eat!What else can you do but eat!

Don't say you will sleep!

Lin Qing glared at him angrily, turned around and went to the kitchen.

Shen Xu followed over worryingly, still worried about the raw rice in the morning, and said, "Let's cook the noodles and eat."

Halfway through washing rice in Linqing, he threw the pot and said, "Forget it if you starve to death!"

Shen Xu hurriedly said: "Be careful, don't spill the rice."

Linqing was so angry that her eyes were red, she waved her hands and went into the bedroom.

He didn't understand why he fell in love with such a heartless guy, it's just that he has no way to talk about his heart, but he really treats himself like a servant.

Lin Qing pursed her lips, a drop of tears fell, she wiped it off immediately, fell again, wiped again, raised her head as if angry with someone, her face could not hide the grievance.

Shen Xu walked in hesitantly, and whispered, "Are you angry?"

Linqing didn't look at him, thinking that this is not nonsense.

Shen Xu moved forward a few more steps, "Are you still angry?"

When you take a few steps, I will extinguish the fire?

"I, I made something, let's eat."

Linqing didn't move.

Shen Xu didn't know what to do, he had never coaxed a man before, and he couldn't figure out what Lin Qing was thinking, so he could only stand there like a wooden block, blinking at him.

"The noodles are getting cold..." Shen Xu reminded in a low voice.

The man still didn't speak.

"Your hands are cold from washing, I'll put some lard on you..."

Caught off guard, the young master covered his face and began to cry.

These hands were supposed to play the piano and compose music, and the silk and bamboo were wrapped around the beam, as if it was all the past, the soreness in his chest was self-evident, and he didn't understand why he had to do this to this body.

Shen Xu panicked, and hurried forward, "You, why are you crying? A man doesn't flick his tears easily, a man has gold under his knees, a man has ambitions everywhere, a man—"

Already incoherent.

Lin Qing pushed him hard and stared at him resentfully.

Shen Xu knew she was wrong, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry... I apologize, can you stop crying?"

Tears were still streaming down Linqing's face.

At that moment, Shen Xu felt that she was in a daze, and the young master's wet eyelashes brushed past his heart like new leaves.Shen Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he stepped forward to embrace him in his arms.

He patted Lin Qing's back and said softly: "Don't cry, don't cry. You see, my family is gone, and I didn't cry. If you are wronged, just leave me. Just don't cry. When you cry, I will really cry." There is no way."

As if coaxing a child, the tone is soft and warm, like a spring breeze.

Lin Qing was startled.

It's a grievance.

But how can I let go of you idiot.

You clearly did it on purpose, you said this on purpose, you hugged me on purpose, so that I wouldn't be ruthless.

The hands that were frozen in the air slowly closed, and gently grabbed the corner of the man's clothes.Lin Qing closed her eyes, bumped the man's shoulder, and then leaned quietly, without saying a word.

The author has something to say: I still feel sorry for Linqing...
