Tucao the Great

"no problem!"

Every time I only feel that I am still myself when I cook, because no matter how I do it, what method I use...the smell is the same.

Fortunately, Qin Shuang didn't pay much attention to it at all, as long as he cooked it well, he could swallow it.

I watched him feasting, and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in my heart.

He reached out and picked up a large chopsticks and put it in his bowl: "You're welcome!"

Qin Shuang raised her head and smiled, "Thank you."

"No thanks."

We should help each other.

I put down my chopsticks and suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar. After thinking about it, I had done the same thing in a certain place in a certain village.It's just that time has changed, and I have become like this.

I lowered my head and sighed, and glanced away, only to see a scar that had just scabbed on the back of Qin Shuang's hand.Suddenly thinking that I went crazy and chopped him up, it was really...

"I didn't mean it that day, sorry, don't be angry."

"what?"

I pointed to his arm.

Qin Shuang smiled helplessly: "You Ruo, how could I be angry with you for these trivial things."

I glanced at him, and suddenly felt that Qin Shuang was like a ball of cotton, no, or a puddle of water.No matter what he can't be provoked, he becomes mad and angry. Even someone like Xiongba can't hold grudges. I asked with a bit of a wicked taste: "Then what if it's a big deal? Will you be angry?"

"What's the big deal?"

I thought about it and said, "If a person killed your whole family with a kitchen knife, how would you take revenge on that person?"

"...I don't have a whole family, so I don't know how to answer you."

"If, I said if. You are very resentful, painful, and sad to the extreme, how will you take revenge?" I was full of anticipation, trying to see something from his calm face.

Qin Shuang frowned, and answered after a while, "I don't know."

He seemed to have thought about this question seriously, but he really couldn't find the answer.

"You're boring."

I muttered something and stopped asking.

After washing the pots and bowls, I had nothing else to do. I wandered here and there, but Qin Shuang was very busy, sawing bamboo, measuring the length and width, and polishing tools...which formed a huge contrast with me.

I rubbed my chin and surveyed the messy yard.

When the house on the left is repaired, it will become the design of a courtyard house.All the bamboos were cut down for building materials, and the surrounding area of ​​the yard was already bare.I walked around the room twice, my heart lit up, and I was immediately impressed by my ingenuity!

So I dragged a bundle of bamboo, found a hatchet, and cut the long bamboo vertically into flat strips.Although it was easy for Qin Shuang to cut it apart, it was very difficult for me to do it myself. Not to mention that the bamboo is very long and slippery, it is difficult for me to cut it to the same length and width.

But thinking that Qin Shuang is like me, what he can do, I can do too.

I looked at the bamboo with my chin propped up for a while, and then I used all the smart bacteria in my body to finally find a way.Put the bamboo in the soil, and fix the two sides with stones, so that it will not sway when it is cut.

"You Ruo, what are you doing?" Qin Shuang glanced at me in his busy schedule and asked in surprise.

I held the split bamboo strips in my hand as if offering treasures, and happily said, "Weave a fence!"

The yard is surrounded by a fence, and flowers that bloom all year round are planted. A shed can be built in the corner to raise chickens and ducks. It is very lively just thinking about it.

Qin Shuang obviously thought of something with me, and praised me greatly.

I moved a stool and sat under the eaves. I placed a large bundle of bamboo strips by my left foot, pressed one end with my legs, and slowly weaved the simplest pattern.Although the efficiency is very slow and the motion is clumsy, at least I found something to do, and it was unexpectedly smooth after a long time of editing.

I looked up at Qin Shuang, he was fixing the bamboo wall, and when I saw him, he smiled at me.

"Zero."

I pouted, lowered my head and continued weaving the fence in my hand.

After a while, the corners of her lips curled slightly.

Whenever the sun sets, Qin Shuang will leave.

This time too, I waved goodbye to him and turned back to the house.Sitting back on the chair, he quickly rolled up his trouser legs and tore off the bandages wrapped around his legs little by little.The original snow-white bandage turned into a messy and disgusting foot wrap that smelled like medicine, and I hurriedly threw it aside.

"His grandfather's."

I was very depressed to see the blisters that had burst.

In the afternoon, I used my legs to press the bamboo strips while weaving the fence, and accidentally punctured the water bubbles, and this was the shape.

I put down my trouser legs and was about to get up to get Qinglu ointment when I suddenly heard a voice from outside the door: "You Ruo, you forgot to take the medicine off the stove..." Qin Shuang had already entered the room with the medicine bowl in her hands inside.

I'll go, isn't he gone? !

My brain twitched, afraid that he would see the burn on my leg and come to ask questions, recalling the unpleasant memories from the first time, so I hurriedly lowered the bottom of my trousers, and stuffed the faded bandage under my buttocks.

"You...you're not..."

Qin Shuang said clearly, "I was halfway there when I remembered that your medicine was still on the stove, and the medicine lost its properties after being boiled for a long time. You are tired all day today, and you will definitely forget it, so I came here to remind you."

The medicine was prescribed by Dr. Ri Ye to remove the scars.

I've been eating intermittently and don't pay much attention, but Qin Shuang remembers it better than I do.

But I didn't pay attention to his actions. I was thinking about the burn on my leg. I took the bowl and poured it into my mouth immediately. Qin Shuang's expression changed. Just as I was about to open my mouth, I was faster than him, and spit out "poof" His face!

"It's burning me to death!!"

I raised my sleeve and was about to wipe my mouth, when I saw Qin Shuang's face was dull, and the brown medicinal juice was dripping down his bewildered face... It was horrible!I panicked, and hurriedly took a piece of cloth from under my buttocks and greeted him: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't pay attention just now..."

"I'm fine, uh... wait, what kind of cloth is this?"

My hands stiffened, and then I looked away, pretending to easily wipe the sweat on my forehead, and said with a smile: "It's just a handkerchief, haha!"

46 early summer

Naturally, my clumsy deception did not hide from Qin Shuang's eyes, and he still found out about the burn.So I fell into a state of having nothing to do for several days, and whenever I wanted to do something, Qin Shuang would remind me that if I didn't cultivate properly, I would get scars.

In fact, compared to the bumps on the face, it doesn't matter if there is anything on the legs.

Fortunately, the days when I could only sit and weave fences ended after nearly half a month. By the time my leg injury healed, the house had begun to take shape.Then there is no need to rush to work as in the past few days. Thinking that I haven't been to Outian for a long time, I asked Qin Shuang to go and have a look together.

By the way, go out and get some fresh air.

The scenery of green mountains and green waters is still beautiful, the difference is the hotter weather and my mood at the moment.When I first came here, I didn’t appreciate every plant and tree. Now I’m walking on the ridges of the fields, watching the cattle and sheep up close and overlooking the clouds in the distance. I feel that there is no more leisurely life in the world.

"You seem to be in a good mood today." Qin Shuang looked at me and said with a smile.

I shook a long reed in my hand, and replied, "Of course, it's good to be able to come out and jump up and down after sitting every day during this period of time!" Aren't you happy that you don't need to repair the house during the holiday?"

Qin Shuang nodded: "I am also very happy."

When I got the answer I wanted, I curled the corners of my mouth in satisfaction: "That's right."

Qin Shuang and I were talking to each other. Most of the time, he was talking about his life after coming here, leaving behind the ordinary affairs of the rivers and lakes.Although the stories about Aunt Zhang and Uncle Liu sound a bit boring, it is also interesting when you think about it carefully.

Unconsciously, I have come to Outian, but I was shocked by the scene in front of me.

Maybe it's because the climate here is too pleasant and warm. In just one month, the lotus field, which was full of mud at the beginning, has become lush and green, with round and green lotus leaves growing next to each other, smiling in the wind.

"Wow, how did they grow so fast? Qin Shuang, how much manure have you poured on them!" I ran over, stood on the ridge of the field, and reached out to touch the slightly prickly lotus leaves.

This scene seemed to be expected by Qin Shuang. He smiled and reminded: "It's not that they grow fast, but you think time is too fast." He lowered his head and paused, then said: "It's already May .”

"Oh, it seems so."

I have no idea about the time here. After thinking about it, it has been a while since I planted lotus root.But because the recent life has been too simple and dull, the time that has passed by Baiju always feels that it is only a few days.

Qin Shuang came over, touched the lotus leaves, and said, "It's growing very well. In a few days, we can plant some red water chestnut bamboo shoots. In autumn, we can harvest them together with the lotus roots."

I imagined baskets full of vegetables turning into baskets full of money, what a meaningful thing!Immediately, she was full of energy, ready to tell Qin Shuang about her plan to make money, when she turned her eyes, she saw a big hole in a lotus leaf.

Not eaten by bugs.

It was hit by someone with something.

I hurriedly walked along the ridge, and found that it was far more than this one lotus leaf, many of them were smashed and the leaves were drooping.

"His grandma, what's going on!" I was even more angry than Qin Shuang. It felt like I was watching a grown-up child get his front teeth knocked out.Qin Shuang obviously saw it too, and frowned, but was about to speak when he heard a group of children playing from the other end of the lotus field.

I stretched out my hand, wanting Qin Shuang to roll up my sleeves and let me rush over to teach these brats a lesson.But Qin Shuang pulled me back and said, "You just stay here, and I'll talk about it."

I was puzzled, but before I had time to ask, Qin Shuang had already turned and left, so I had to squat on the ridge of the field and count the ants.

After a while, Qin Shuang hadn't come back yet.

I couldn't hold it back anymore, so I walked towards the place where the group of brats were chattering, and before I got close enough, I heard a group of children clapping their hands and singing "Zai He
