The peace of the Three Realms depends on me [Food]

72. Hiring

Ji Ping'an came too early. After he waited for half an hour, other dowry bearers appeared one after another.Fortunately, he was not waiting alone. During the waiting period, he saw He Lang's new house.

The so-called new house is just a wall added to the old house. Fortunately, He Lang's house is quite big, and there are two or three rooms on the west side, which is enough for He Lang and Cuicui to live normally.

He Lang held the eight-treasure tea and planned: "When I save some more money, I will go to the master to come and have a look, and rebuild a house, just like your house."

He Lang has been coveting Ji Ping'an's house for a long time, and every time he goes there, he will walk around his house several times.Anyway, the foundation of his house is also large, and there is still open space on the west and north sides for expansion. He also wants to build a small yard.

Ji Ping'an also quite agrees, there is an extra wall in a good house, it's really annoying.And because it was built hastily, the walls are not soundproof, so you can clearly hear any movement next door.

For example, now, Ji Ping'an heard He Lang's sister-in-law yelling in a strange way: "It's so noisy early in the morning, let people not sleep!" There was also the sound of spitting.

Ji Pingan and He Lang looked at each other, and He Lang shook his head at the neighbor: "It's better to separate completely."

In addition to He Lang, there is also He Lang's old mother in the family.Aunt He is over sixty years old, her temples are gray and her eyes are a little dazzled, but she is in good spirits.Seeing Ji Ping'an, she happily took his hand and talked for a long time, talking about Ping'an's grandparents' past.

Ji Pingan likes this feeling. Every time he sees Aunt He, he will think of his grandparents.When he heard about his grandparents from Mrs. He, he felt that he was not the only one in this world who remembered the old couple.

At the end of Yinshi, all the people had arrived, and the courtyard of He Lang's house was full of joy and steam.All the people who came to carry the dowry gifts were He Lang's friends. For He Lang's sake, everyone was very polite to Ji Pingan.

Everyone laughed and drank eight-treasure tea, and when the auspicious time came, they raised the dowry and set off from He Lang's house.

Taohua Village is located on the west side of Qingshui Bay. Its full name is 'Taohuaxi'. This is a very large village. The village is divided into Taohua East Village and Taohua West Village based on the river in the middle.

Cuicui's family lives in Taohua West Village. To go to Taohua West, one needs to climb three hills, cross Taohua East, and then cross the river.In the past, this section of the road was not long, and it was fast.However, the heavy snow covered the mountain road two days ago, and it was difficult to walk.

Usually it only takes one cup of tea to get to Taohuadong, but today a group of people take two cups of tea.When we got to the pier and waited for the ferry, it was still dark and the old boatman hadn't gotten up yet.

He Lang and his group of young men shouted the boatman's name to the river bank, and the lights on the river bank were lit up after a while.Most of the people in Taohuaxi are relatives, everyone knows that today is the day of He Lang's appointment.

When there was movement on the other side of the river, half the village was alarmed.

Someone on the other side of the river shouted loudly: "Langzi—you came too early!" He Lang had a thick skin: "Come early and rest assured!" There was constant laughter on both sides of the river, and everyone had never seen such a rush Uncle.

He Lang pointed to the family with red lanterns behind Taohua West Village and said, "That's Cui Cui's family. Speaking of safety, do you still remember what Cui Cui looked like?"

Ji Pingan shook his head with a smile, he only knew Cuicui's existence from He Lang's description.But he will be able to see it soon, he wants to see what kind of existence the fairy-like Cui Cui is in He Lang's mouth.

The old boatman soon came over with the open wooden boat, and He Lang was all smiles, and he came forward to talk sweetly and kindly.The old boatman was so happy that his eyes narrowed into two slits.

In the past, when he met young people who wanted to propose marriage, he would make things a little difficult for them before leaving the boat.However, facing He Lang, the old boatman touched the bamboo pole, and the open boat left the shore with Ji Ping'an and his party on board.

He Lang lowered his voice and said to Ji Ping'an: "Hey, it's not in vain to take care of my daily routine. Look, the critical moment is smooth!"

Ji Pingan pursed his lips and smiled, He Lang ran to the Taohua West every now and then in order to chase Cuicui, I'm afraid the old boatman would be annoyed to death by him.

The river is only five or six feet wide, and it reached Taohuaxi in a short while.Ji Pingan walked behind He Lang with a pair of lotus roots. As soon as he landed, the villagers in Taohuaxi pointed at him: "Hey? Who is this Xiaolang? He looks so handsome!" "He is The one in the back village of Clear Water Bay."

Hearing this answer, there was a small sigh from the crowd: "Oh, it's him, what a pity."

How many people would like such a handsome person if he didn't have a monster grandma.

He Lang comforted Ji Ping'an in a low voice: "Ping'an, don't take it to heart, you are fine."

Ji Pingan smiled and said: "Don't worry about me, you should worry about how to get into Cuicui's house." Although the next appointment is not a formal marriage, some families will still test the future son-in-law.

He Lang had already made up his mind: "Hey, don't worry, I've taken care of everything!"

After a while, they crossed the small road in the village and came to the door of Cuicui's house. There were already two large round tables in front of Cuicui's house, and hot eight-treasure tea was placed on the tables.

As soon as He Lang appeared, two short and sturdy men greeted him: "Langzi is here!"

These two are Cuicui's two older brothers. Seeing how enthusiastic they are towards He Lang, Ji Pingan believes that they really fell in love with He Lang, his brother-in-law.

The Zhang family didn't give He Lang any test, Ji Pingan and the others were arranged to drink eight-treasure tea at the round table after unloading the betrothal gift.There was endless laughter all around, and Ji Pingan saw Cui Cui at this moment.

Contrary to what he imagined, Cui Cui is not a girl who looks like a fairy, she is about as short and fat as her two elder brothers.Her face was as round as a grapefruit from Ji Ping'an's family, and the wind blew out a lot of red threads on her cheeks.

Such a girl is not considered pretty, but the light in her eyes when she saw He Lang made her more shy and charming.He Lang generously held Cui Cui's hand, listening to the elders talking about the scene, he looked at Cui Cui with very gentle eyes.

In his eyes, Cuicui is not an ordinary girl in the village, but a rare treasure.

Ji Pingan thought He Lang was happy in his heart, Cui Cui knew how to live a life at first glance, and He Lang was also a hardworking and capable person.With the two of them together, life will definitely get better and better!

It's great, my brother met someone who wants to live his whole life, this is a kind of happiness.

Ji Pingan remembered that grandma told him that it is not easy to meet someone you really like in your life, and if you do, you should cherish it.

In addition to Babao tea, there were also tea eggs on the round table. Ji Pingan took a sip of the sweetness, just enough to eat a tea egg.Not to mention, the tea eggs from Cuicui's house are delicious, and Ji Ping'an feels that he can go back and cook a pot, just as Xiaobai and Xiaohuang can also taste different eggs.

Laughter was endless, everyone around Ji Ping'an was chatting in twos and threes, but he had no one to chat with.After eating the delicious tea eggs, Ji Ping'an's thoughts flew back to Qingshui Bay.

I wonder how Xiaobai and Xiaohuang are doing now?It's not yet dawn, are the two of them sleeping back in the cage?

I don't know if Xiaobai will remember to eat breakfast on time, and I don't know if he will be lonely at home.He regretted it a bit, and brought the two of them here if he knew it earlier, it was better than he was worried about here.

Just when Ji Pingan was thinking wildly, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders, and turned his head to see that it was He Lang.He Lang raised his hand and took away the eight-treasure tea in front of Ji Pingan and took a sip. He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's done!"

Ji Ping'an was happy: "You are the groom-to-be, why did you escape?"

He Lang bumped Ji Ping'an with his shoulder, and he winked: "How is it? Are Cui Cui and I a good match?!"

Ji Pingan nodded seriously: "Yes, it's a good match. Cui Cui looks like a girl living a life, you have to treat her..."

He Lang raised his hand: "No, I don't want to hear your nagging. I just want to ask, have you considered finding someone to live a good life after seeing me so happy?"

Ji Pingan:? ? ?

He Lang said: "Cui Cui knows many girls in Taohuaxi, if you are interested, I will ask Cui Cui to help you match up."

Ji Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You haven't officially married yet, why are you concerned about my problems?"

This occasion is not right, He Lang is the protagonist today, why did he leave Cui Cui alone and come to complain to himself instead?

He Lang was very serious: "You are my best brother, of course I, as a brother, pay more attention to your marriage. Tell me, do you have someone you like? If not, I have to help you Think of ways to."

Ji Pingan was extremely helpless: "You just asked me last time, I remember I already answered you."

He Lang stared: "Last time when you asked me what liking is, I used Cui Cui and me as an example. But everyone's feelings are different, and I can't represent you. In case you have someone you like , I can't mess around with mandarin ducks."

Ji Pingan pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word. He Lang was anxious, he gently pushed Ji Pingan with his elbow, and lowered his voice: "Tell me the truth, you really have nothing to do with your cat?"

Ji Pingan looked at He Lang in surprise: "Why did you say that?"

He Lang looked Ji Pingan up and down, and after thinking for a moment, he touched his chin: "The main reason is that I think you've been acting weird recently, and you look like a peach blossom. Hmm... I understand, maybe you already like it, But you don't know. Then let me ask you, you have been with me for so long, do you miss him? "

Ji Pingan was silent and thought about it.Since he separated from Xiao Bai, he has missed him no less than ten times.

He Lang said: "Sometimes your body will be faster than your brain. If you like someone, you will want to be with her. No matter what she is, she is very beautiful in your eyes. Just like me, the first The first time I saw Cui Cui, I thought Cui Cui was very pretty."

Ji Pingan stopped talking. The first time he saw Xiao Bai turned into a human form, his eyes were straightened.

He Lang said: "Seeing her being wronged and bullied, I'm more angry than myself. If she feels bad and cries, I will feel sorry for her."

Ji Ping'an's body froze, he was hit!Seeing Xiaobai's lonely look made him feel very uncomfortable.

But is this the feeling of liking?Ji Pingan felt that he would be reluctant to see Xiao Huang being wronged.

He Lang used his trump card: "Also, I can't help but think of her at night. She is all in my dreams, so hot that I can't sleep!" After finishing speaking, he added: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Ji Pingan: ...

He is not a child, how could he not understand!He did this too, and when it was over, he refused to accept his account and kicked Xiaobai out.

When He Lang saw Ji Ping'an's expression, he understood it. He said earnestly: "Ping An, I don't think like those people outside. I think it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, a human or a spirit beast, as long as you like it , just be together well. We are all adults, there is no need to hide it."

At this time, someone called He Lang into the house to drink tea, and He Lang quickly stood up and patted Ji Ping'an on the shoulder: "Brother, I'll go in first, you can play by yourself."

Ji Pingan was holding a tea egg in his hand. He Lang said so, he didn't even feel like eating eggs, so how could he play with peace of mind?

He Lang didn't say anything, but after he said it, he realized that his feelings for Xiaobai were just liking.It turned out that before he knew it, he had already fallen in love with Xiaobai.

what to do?He wanted to go home, wanted to go back and see Xiaobai.I want to sleep in a warm bed with him, and I want to go to the snow with him to plan vegetables, and then cook together.

Perhaps when he picked up Xiaobai at first, he just wanted to have a small animal to accompany him so that he would not be lonely, but seeing Xiaobai's transformation, his thoughts have gradually changed.

That's the problem, Xiaobai is so simple, he can still control aura.He had said that he would not leave, but this was probably just a favor.

Ji Ping'an was a little distressed, how could he let Xiao Bai know that he had fallen in love with him?

The author has something to say:

At this time, one side needs to play a straight ball.

Xiao Huang: I will answer this question! !I can!Make something delicious for me, and I'll tell you!

By the way, has Mercury retrograde recently?The teeth are fine, but my cervical spine is not right again.I have been dizzy for the past two days, but my cervical spine massager is still broken.I can't even lift my neck and my back hurts.

Recently, many of my friends are feeling uncomfortable here and there, so cuties should take good care of their bodies.

Today is the last day of 2021, I hope all the bad luck will leave today.Happy New Year! Happy new year!
