Looking at Liu Shuangli's figure running away briskly, the old man's heart suddenly touched, and there was a sour feeling in his throat, so he hurriedly reached out and took the water cup that had just been placed on the table, took a sip, and suppressed the sourness that suddenly surged in his throat.

When he drank the water and looked up at the door again, the child's figure was gone.

Archie sighed in his heart, thought about it for a while, but still couldn't let go, stood up and followed him to the kitchen.

Since Qin Siyang entered the house, he has been sitting in the house, watching the interaction between the old and the young, while inspecting the simple house.

This is the main house directly north of the small courtyard, and it looks like it is also the usual living place of the old man, but the whole room only has one bed, one box and one table, and two small stools brought back by the old man from his stall.

The beds, boxes and tables are very old, and people 'gurgle' as soon as they touch them.

It can be said that the furnishings of the main house can no longer be described by simple words, but should be classified into the category of cold.

Is this the life of an ordinary family? Qin Siyang sighed in his heart, his mother and teacher had never told him that the life of ordinary people was so hard!

Seeing that the old man got up and followed Liu Shuangli to the direction of the stove room, Qin Siyang couldn't stay alone in the house anymore, so he stood up and walked out with the old man.

The utensils in the kitchen are also shabby, and when Liu Shuangli came in, he saw that there was only one stove and one pot in the kitchen, which was still a bit large. On the stove were a pair of bowls, knives and spoons, as well as a small glass of oil and a small piece of salt.

Although it is shabby, it has all the things that should be there. It's just that in the big room, there is only a water tank missing.

If there is no water, how can you make a fire for cooking? Liu Shuangli was in a dilemma, turned the stove, and saw that under the stove against the inner wall, there was a large wooden basin with a cracked edge, and a small water cup hung in the corner of the basin, and there was a small half of water in the basin.

Because the stove was a little high, and the wooden basin was too low, she didn't see it when she first entered the kitchen.

Looking at this small wooden basin, Liu Shuangli smiled again. Looking again, I saw a small shelf on one side of the wooden basin, and on the shelf was a small basket containing a few carrots and a large cabbage that had been most plucked.

Wow, there is not only water but also vegetables, which is very good, Liu Shuangli smiled even more happily. When I looked back again, I saw a bamboo basket hanging on the wall in the corner of the door. The bamboo basket was hung very high, and with her current height, she couldn't reach it with her feet stretched out.

However, no matter how high it is, it is difficult for Liu Shuangli to leave, she performed light skills, and took down the bamboo basket on the wall with a flying body. Then he looked into the bamboo basket and saw a burlap bag in it, and when he touched it, it was some coarse flour.

Hey, it's flour, not rice, Liu Shuangli sighed helplessly, she really wants to eat rice now! It seems that she can't eat it at Mr. Chen's house, if she really wants to eat it, she has to pay for it herself.

But the flour is flour, Liu Shuangli smiled, resigned himself to the small bowl on the stove, scooped up some flour into the bowl, and stirred up the flour from the wooden basin.

In the past, there were many brothers and sisters in the division who were northerners, and she also learned to make pancake trowels in the north, so today she will use this flour to make two cakes.

While stirring the flour, Liu Shuangli took some water from a water cup, cleaned the iron pot on the stove, and then turned to the corner of the courtyard outside the door and came in with some firewood.

When Chen Qiqing came to the kitchen, he saw Liu Shuangli skillfully striking the fire with a flint to ignite the fire, and then burning firewood under the stove.

Skillfully collecting the fire and blowing the wind, and then looking at Liu Shuangli's technique of picking and chopping vegetables, he is not a beginner. Chen Qiqing only looked at it for a moment, then handed over the kitchen to Liu Shuangli with confidence, turned around and left the stove room.

He knew that this little brother named Liu Shuangli would never be a son-in-law who came to open his mouth for food and stretched out his hand for clothes.

Chen Qiqing left the stove room, turned around and walked towards the utility room in the west corner of the courtyard, Qin Siyang saw that Liu Shuangli didn't need his help, so he also followed the old man to the utility room.

Coming to the utility room, Chen Qiqing looked back at Qin Siyang, who had not spoken since they met. Although Liu Shuangli said that they were brother and sister, the old man who had lived for most of his life and read countless people could still observe that the relationship between these two babies would never be as simple as brother and sister.

Not to mention that the appearance and temperament are not the same, just the way they get along, the elder brother's care for this sister, is not like the care and love of ordinary brothers and sisters at all. But most of them look like they are, being a brother who is very helpless and resigned to his fate, careful and extremely worried, and is maintaining this girl with a cold face.

Will such a relationship be brother and sister?

If you want to talk about people who open their mouths for food and stretch out their hands for clothes, this young lady who never speaks looks more like.

Although the young lady never spoke, the old man knew that he would be able to understand them.

In front of the utility room, Chen Qiqing stopped, turned around and signaled that Qin Siyang didn't have to go in with him, because it was too dirty inside.

What Chen Qiqing said was true, because as soon as the door opened, Qin Siyang, who was standing by the door, sucked in the dust that came to his face.

The dust is very heavy, and I don't know how many years it took to reach the amount. Qin Siyang stretched out his hand to shake away the dust, coughed low and took a few steps back.

But the old man was not driven out of the utility room by the dust.

Qin Siyang clearly heard the old man's heavy coughing in the room, and also heard the sound of him constantly churning things.

The dust was still pouring out of the utility room, but the old man still didn't come out, and the sound of coughing and turning of items kept coming out. Qin Siyang stood outside the door a little worriedly, not knowing what the old man was looking for, and he didn't know if he should go in to help.

After a long time, the churning sound in the utility room finally subsided, and the dust was still swaying, but it was not as raging as before.

The coughing stopped, and Qin Siyang heard the old man's slow footsteps walking towards the door.

"Found it, baby girl, take these bowls. Chen Qiqing's slightly withered face appeared at the door, and his thin and dark hands passed several dusty porcelain bowls of different sizes.

Taking the porcelain bowl, Qin Siyang saw that the old man was still holding a handful of bamboo chopsticks that were also dirty.

It turns out that the old man is here to rummage through the dishes and chopsticks!

Qin Siyang covered his eyes and nose and thought, how many years has this been useless, and such a thick layer of dust has accumulated in the house?

When Liu Shuangli fried the pancakes, the old man Chen Qiqing and Qin Siyang had just washed the dishes and chopsticks that had been turned out.

"I don't have enough water, so I have to go to the well and get some. The old man muttered as he looked at the water in the tub, which was so low that it could not cover the palm of a hand.

"Mr. Chen will pick it up yourself?" Liu Shuangli was scooping up the fried pancakes and putting them in the bowl, when he heard the old man say this, he hurriedly asked.

"The old man is thinking, but the old man's body is really bad. The old man said helplessly, "In the past two years, seeing the old man lonely, it was the kind neighbors from all over the world who took turns to help the old man pick up the water. ”

"Well, I can't lift anything too heavy, but I can walk a long way and carry half a bucket of water. Liu Shuangli said attentively.

"You don't have to worry about this. Chen Qiqing poured the wooden basin and poured the last bit of water in the basin into a water cup, "The old man has thought about it, and the deed written for Song Ye today has left Zhang Dasheng's family on the street with no place to live." The old man didn't want to go, so he wanted to bring their family to live here, first, everyone had a care together, and secondly, he also felt guilty for the old man's heart. ”

"Well, that's for the best. Liu Shuangli smiled, "Mr.'s family has three rooms, and now only one is used, and when my little sister and I come, we will only use one, and it is a pity that one is empty, so it is just right for their family to come and live." Moreover, I wrote the robber contract, and I am also guilty, so I should help more. ”

Chen Qiqing patted Liu Shuangli's shoulder, with a kind look in his eyes: "Although the baby is young, she is an understanding person. ”

Liu Shuangli smiled happily again, smiling brightly and comfortably, as if no matter how troublesome things were, they were also dissolved by her smile.

For dinner, in addition to frying a few baked cakes, Liu Shuangli also cooked a small pot of radish soup, which was just enough for three of them, one old and two young, one bowl per person.

During dinner, the three of them set up a small table in the courtyard, and the table was also found by Chen Qiqing from the utility room.

In a peaceful atmosphere, three people who had met for the first time had dinner together in the small courtyard.
