Seeing Tao Xiaoqing's incomparably excited expression, Jin Weiwei also felt happy. The only reason she gave him a room and made him new clothes was to let him calm down and help him with his work.

"How is it? Are the clothes suitable? "

"It's suitable, it's suitable. How could the clothes made for me by Big Sister Dong Fang not be suitable?" Tao Xiaoqing was grinning from ear to ear.

"It's good as long as it's suitable. Then you should rest early. I'll go check on the animals." Jin Weiwei turned around to leave.

"It's so late, is big sister still going to the barn?" Tao Xiaoqing quickly took off his new clothes. "Your legs were not well to begin with. Now that the sky is dark, you can tell me to do whatever you need to do."

Jin Weiwei's heart warmed when she heard this. As expected, she didn't love him for nothing. This Tao Xiaoqing was definitely a good child who knew how to repay favors.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I'm just used to taking a walk before sleeping to check the sheepfold. If the door to the pigsty is closed, it will prevent any wild beasts from sneaking in at night. "While we're at it, let's see if these sheep and pigs have a rest."

"If Big Sister Boss trusts me, leave this kind of investigation to me at night to me. I guarantee that I will carefully inspect it every night!" Tao Xiaoqing patted his chest and said very seriously.

Jin Weiwei looked at his serious expression and smiled, "You've already patted your chest. How can I not trust you? "Then I'll go back to my room to rest, and leave the inspection to you."

Tao Xiaoqing stood at attention and answered solemnly, "Sister Dong, don't worry. I will do it well!"

This Tao Xiaoqing was truly diligent. Ever since Jin Weiwei had made him two new sets of clothes, he seemed to have treated her like his own sister, and was worrying about everything.

In the morning, before dawn, Tao Xiaoqing got up and started to make porridge. When Jin Weiwei had finished washing up, steaming hot porridge had already been served overnight.

Afraid that she would be tired from walking, Tao Xiaoqing deliberately went to the back of the mountain to find a suitable tree branch after closing time in the butcher shop. He diligently polished and polished it to give it to Jin Weiwei as a walking stick.

Usually, whenever he saw Jin Weiwei raise her hand to grab something, he would shout out, "Big sister, leave me alone!"

Jin Weiwei really liked Tao Xiaoqing the more she saw him, and she was extremely happy in her heart. From time to time, she would praise him for his ability. However, every time she praised Xiaoqing, she would discover that little Fugui had a long face and was silent, with a displeased look on his face.

"Hey, look at how capable Little Qing is. He can wash clothes and cook. "Since you don't know anything, it's fine if you just eat and drink for free, but you're still trying to put on a cold front in front of him. Who are you trying to scare?"

Little Fugui looked up at Jin Weiwei, but didn't respond to her question. Instead, he lowered his head and continued to calculate.

Unsatisfied with little rich kid's attitude, Jin Weiwei walked to his side and poked his shoulder with her finger.

"Didn't you hear me speak up for you? In the future, you should treat Xiao Qing better. Don't put on a face in front of him all day and smile merrily, otherwise, if you scare off my good buddy, I'll only ask you! "

It just so happened that Tao Xiaoqing walked in from the outside and heard Jin Weiwei's words. He quickly smiled and said, "Sister Dong is so good to me. No matter what happens, I won't leave you."

Jin Weiwei was overjoyed when she heard this. She covered her mouth and giggled. "Our family's Xiaoqing really knows how to talk. No wonder all those aunts like to buy meat from you."

Tao Xiaoqing was somewhat embarrassed by her words and gave a bashful smile.

Xiao Fugui didn't seem to like the two of them joking around. He forcefully closed the account book, stood up and left.

"Hey hey, have you finished counting today? Why did you leave just like that? "

Jin Weiwei watched as the little rich kid left without looking back. She was a bit puzzled, just what was wrong with this guy? Why was he so angry these days?

The next day, Jin Weiwei was waiting for Tao Xiaoqing to call her for breakfast as usual. But she couldn't wait any longer. Rubbing her stomach that was growling with hunger, Jin Weiwei ran to the kitchen herself.

Before they even got to the kitchen, Jin Weiwei choked on the cigarette smoke in the room, and her eyes started to tear up. "Hey, Little Qing, what are you doing? Are you trying to burn my kitchen? "

"He went to the butcher's."

Jin Weiwei gave a start. This wasn't Little Qing's voice.

She forcefully waved away the smoke in front of her and upon closer inspection, she immediately burst out laughing.

He saw the little rich boy squatting beside the stove, quickly adding some hay. For some reason, his face was covered with black dust, and his whole face was like a big cat.

"What are you doing?" Jin Weiwei couldn't help but laugh when she saw his sorry state.

"Boil the porridge." Little Fugui didn't seem to know that he had changed his face.

"Boiled porridge?" Is there anyone who can cook porridge like you? " Jin Weiwei was laughing so hard that she could barely stand up. "Come quickly and let me see what kind of delicious porridge you're cooking that can cause the entire kitchen to be filled with smoke and miasma."

After saying that, Jin Weiwei walked to the side of the wok. She lifted the wok lid to take a look, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Heavens, don't tell me you've poured all of our rice into the wok? Are you treating me like a pig?" Jin Weiwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at the full pot of rice.

This little rich kid clearly didn't know how to cook. Why did he suddenly want to cook porridge on a whim?

What he was doing now was a complete mess. He filled a pot with rice and only put a little water. The fire in the stove was obviously not completely lit yet, but he was still stuffing hay inside, causing the entire kitchen to be filled with smoke.

How could little Fugui not hear that Jin Weiwei was teasing him? He put down the poker in his hand, stuck his head out of the pot and looked at the rice. "Too much?"

Nonsense, of course!

Jin Weiwei rolled her eyes at him helplessly. "Go get a basin and scoop up the excess rice to dry."

The little rich kid obediently took out a large basin. Jin Weiwei scooped out three quarters of a meter and filled it up with water. "We'll have enough porridge to drink for a few days."

Then she pulled little Fugui to the stove, squatted down, and took out all the dry grass from the stove. "Also, this fire has to be done meticulously, so you can't tuck it all together. Look, you stuffed so much hay inside, suppressing the flames, and it's all smoke."

After emptying the stove, Jin Weiwei picked up a few pieces of thin firewood, broke them into pieces, and placed them in the stove. "Come, let me teach you how to heat the fire."

She then picked up a handful of hay and gave it to Fugui. "First, use the fire piston to light it up, then use it to ignite the firewood inside, and then keep fanning it. You must wait for the firewood to completely burn up, then continue to add more firewood.

Xiao Fugui took the hay, and seriously followed Jin Weiwei's instructions, step by step. Soon, the fire in the stove began to blaze.
