Lu Yunkai didn't have enough hot baths at home, so he took song Xintong to a hot bath. When she came out of the house again, her cheeks were as red as thick rouge.
"Sister, why are you so red?" Also soak a hot bath twins puzzled asked, "hot?"
Lu Yunkai beside meaningful said: "the water is too hot."
Xiaobao quickly said, "hot red face."
Song Xintong glared at Lu Yunkai angrily, tried to pretend to be natural and twins, and said: "you two haven't finished your homework today. Go to the room and write it. After that, give it to your brother-in-law to check."
"Oh." Xiao Bao is so tired that he has to write his homework. It's so annoying.
"Daya went to wash the pheasant she picked up at noon. I'll go and have a look. You'll stare at them." Song Xintong stopped, "you are not allowed to come out."
"Why?" Lu Yunkai asked softly.
"I see there are several girls living in the yard. Don't bump into them." Song Xintong was worried that other girls would take a fancy to his own scholar. After removing the scar on his side face, his other side face was very beautiful. What if someone just liked this kind of incomplete beauty?
"Good." Lu Yunkai didn't tear her down. "It's raining hard outside. Be careful."
"I'll walk under the eaves. It's OK." After Song Xintong's advice, he went out of the door and went to the kitchen, where only the woman was washing the dishes.
Looking at Song Xintong, the old lady said, "is the lady going to use the room?"
Song Xintong nodded: "you have eaten?"
"Yes, you can use it after I wash it." After a pause, the old lady pointed out that there was still more than half of the firewood left. "Do you want firewood or not? We bought a big bundle and couldn't use it up at all."
Song Xintong's clear smile.
"If you do less, just give me two Wen." The old lady said with a smile.
Song Xintong looked at the rest of the firewood, nodded: "into."
After waiting for the woman to clean, she did not rush away, but sat and chatted, "where are you from, lady? Where are you going?"
"To the state." Song Xintong steamed the rice and soaked a jin of noodles. With Daya, the king of big stomach, he never had to worry about leftovers. He just worried that she would not have enough to eat.
"Where are you going?"
The old lady said, "when we go to the capital, the master of our family does business and goes to the capital. If we don't take over the ladies, young masters and young ladies, we will live there."
"That's amazing. I've never been out of Lingnan state before." Song Xintong said with a smile.
"It's said that the capital is more lively than Lingnan. I don't know if it's true." Said the old woman.
"I think so." Song Xintong said, Daya came in from the outside. She was carrying a pheasant with a laparotomy in one hand. The two pheasants almost had the appearance of more than four Jin.
"Oh, you go out with chickens?" She exclaimed.
"Pheasant caught on the road." Song Xintong asked Daya to kill the pheasant. She put it into the water and blanched it. Then she began to fry the pheasant in oil. When it was almost finished, she added water to put all the vermicelli in, covered the pot and cooked.
"You've got everything ready. You've got a guy with you." Said the old woman.
"Our carriages are slow and stop and stop. We are afraid that those who are not in front of the village and behind the shop will not be able to eat, so we take them by ourselves." Song Xintong put the used seasoning in a cage and asked Daya to move it back. She sat by the hall and watched the fire.
It's not hot or cold. It's very comfortable to sit here.
The old woman said, "it's a good way for you. I'll talk to my wives tomorrow. If this happens, you can still cook some porridge instead of eating dry cakes."
Because song Xintong was wearing loose clothes and couldn't see her big belly, so she didn't find it and believed it.
"No, hurry up and slow down. It's all the same. It's better to make yourself comfortable." Song Xintong said.
"That's right."
In less than two quarters of an hour, it was ready. Song Xintong asked Da Ya to take the food back to her room. She said goodbye to her mother-in-law and went back to her room. Five people sat around the square table for dinner.
Some of the pheasant meat is old and not easy to chew. Song Xintong doesn't like it very much. After eating a few pieces of leg meat, he doesn't want to eat it. After drinking some green vegetable soup, he is full.
The twins and Daya are eating very hard, but they look a little ugly.
Song Xintong and Lu Yunkai sat by the window, watching the incessant rain in the yard, and occasionally there was a dull thunder, "the woman just said that the rain might have to last until tomorrow morning. Fortunately, you didn't listen to me to build a shed, otherwise you might have to sleep in the shed this evening."
"I was negligent. This morning, I heard the old man in that village say it's raining today, but I didn't pay attention to it." Lu Yunkai took a look at the rain flowing into the culvert outside and blamed himself.
"We don't know how to grow crops, and we can't understand the sky. In the morning, when I look at the big sun in the sky, I still think they are joking." Song Xintong comforted Lu Yunkai, "well, I don't know if there are books like this in the bookstore. If we can go out in the future, we won't be afraid of rain."
"Certainly not in the bookstore." Lu Yunkai said: "the only people who can understand the weather are special warlocks and experienced farmers."
"Then let's go back and ask mother-in-law Qiu to sum it up for us. We won't be afraid to go out in the future." Song Xintong said.
Lu Yunkai said, "let's go back then."
"Will you be able to get to Lingnan city in the future?" Song Xintong asked in a low voice, looking at the continuous rain outside.
Lu Yunkai said, "if it clears up tomorrow morning, you can get to Lingnan city the next day."
Song Xintong counted the days. "Finally, we can arrive. We start on the second day of junior high school. Now it's July 17. We've been walking for half a month. I don't know if it's OK for my mother to be at home alone?"
Lu Yunkai: "when we get to Lingnan city and write to my mother, it's only two days."
"Well." Song Xintong turned to look at Daya who had finished a big pot of food and said with a smile, "Daya is full?"
The big Ya was embarrassed and nodded, "girl, I'm going to wash the dishes now."
"We have already eaten rice now, but fortunately we still have two or three jin of flour." Song Xintong said and stood up: "I'll make the noodles. We'll get up tomorrow morning and steam the steamed bread."
The flour was bought by song Xintong the day before in a small town they were passing by. They bought a little as a spare, but they didn't expect to use it.
"Baorou baozi." Xiao Bao, who was lying on the table, suddenly looked up and said.
"No meat." Said Dabao.
Xiaobao blinked: "can't you buy it?"
"There is no meat shop here," Dabao said
"Where did those people get their meat?" Xiaobao asked curiously.
Dabao thought, "they must have gone to the market to buy it in town."
"Is it?" Xiaobao asked song Xintong, "sister, is that so?"
Song Xintong said: "I don't know. Ask your brother-in-law. He has passed here several times. He must know."
The twins looked at Lu Yunkai: "brother in law?"
"Dabao guessed right. There are towns dozens of miles ahead." Lu Yun said, "they should have a cellar here and store a lot of meat. They don't have to go to town to buy it every day."
"So it is." The twins giggled, "we also have cellars, like ours?"
Lu Yunkai gave a faint glance at the two people who still wanted to speak. He asked in a light voice, "is silence over?"
As soon as he said that, the twins immediately stopped talking, quickly made the rules, buried themselves in silent writing, and went back to the room to sleep earlier.
