Chapter 119: Boil Water (Ask for the First Order)
As soon as Zhao Yuanchao heard Li Mei say that he wanted hot water, he took the basin that Li Mei took and went to the stove room to get hot water without saying a word. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Big brother, do you want to fetch water?" Liu Hongmei asked when she saw Zhao Yuanchao coming in with a basin.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanchao nodded. Then he asked, "Is there hot water in the pot?"
"Just now, the second sister-in-law called all the hot water in the pot to wash her parents' faces. If you want hot water, wait a minute and boil it for you. "Now the hot water in the house is basically cold for everyone else in the family, except for a few children. So just now Li Meilai washed her face and feet with cold water, and Liu Hongmei didn't feel strange. After all, boiling hot water also costs firewood.
The reason why there is hot water today is that this hot water is mainly boiled to wash pots. In the past, I was reluctant to put more oil in the dish, but this bowl can be washed naturally without hot water. Today is different, today these bowls are greasy and greasy, and they can't be washed without hot water.
However, what made Liu Hongmei a little puzzled was that in the past, this eldest uncle also used cold water to wash, why did he have to use hot water today? No matter how much Liu Hongmei was puzzled, as a younger brother and daughter-in-law, she naturally didn't care much about this.
When Zhao Yuanchao heard Liu Hongmei say that he would boil water alone later, he was afraid of bothering others, so he quickly shook his head and refused, "Don't bother, forget if you don't have hot water." ”
This hot water was specially asked for by Li Mei, and Zhao Yuanchao naturally would not disappoint Li Mei for this little thing. You can't trouble others, it's the same if he helps Li Mei boil a little hot water himself.
When Li Mei saw Zhao Yuanchao coming back with an empty basin, she asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Yuanchao nodded, afraid that Li Mei would be disappointed, and quickly explained, "The hot water at home has run out, and the third brother and sister are still washing dishes in the stove room, and I will boil water for you later." ”
"Then I'm bothering you. Although this is a trivial matter, Li Mei still feels that it is quite troublesome. If she was still at her own house, she would have boiled the hot water directly, and she wouldn't have to trouble others at all. But now the Zhao family, who is not familiar with everything, can only trouble Zhao Yuanchao for help.
"No hassle. Zhao Yuanchao shook his head, and then asked, "By the way, how much hot water do you need?" ”
When Zhao Yuanchao asked this, Li Mei's face couldn't help but turn red. This little blushed and turned red, she still told Zhao Yuanchao the amount of hot water she wanted to use, "No more, one scoop of water is almost enough." ”
Zhao Yuanchao didn't know what Li Mei wanted hot water for, but when he saw Li Mei's face, he suddenly turned red like a monkey's buttocks, and his face turned red all of a sudden. Although he still didn't know what Li Mei wanted this hot water to do, but looking at Li Mei's blushing face, Bacheng could guess that this hot water was used for more private things, otherwise Li Mei's face would not suddenly turn red like this.
Li Mei saw that Zhao Yuanchao's face also turned red, she was more and more embarrassed, she didn't dare to look up at Zhao Yuanchao.
"Ahem. Zhao Yuanchao coughed dryly twice to resolve the embarrassment, "I'll go and see if they wash the dishes properly." After saying that, he ran out without looking back. It was as if something was chasing him from behind.
As soon as Zhao Yuanchao left, Li Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she immediately patted her cheeks with both hands, she is a handful of old people, what has happened to you, but now what are you shy about here?
When Zhao Yuanchao ran to the stove room, Liu Hongmei and the others had already cleaned up the stove room, and everyone had already gone back to the room to rest.
Zhao Yuanchao scooped up the water and cleaned the pot on the stove again. Only then did he scoop two scoops of water into the pot, although Li Mei said that one scoop of water was enough, but Zhao Yuanchao thought that it was better to boil more, so as not to have enough water.
Zhao Yuanchao lit it with a matchstick, and suddenly Tang Nengzhen got in. "What are you doing with a fire? Don't you have enough to eat at night?"
When Tang Nengzhen saw Zhao Yuanchao burning the fire by the stove, his first reaction was that he wanted to cook something to eat. That's why I asked.
"No, I'll boil some hot water. "Even if they didn't have enough to eat in the evening, they didn't have to cook something right away.
"What kind of hot water? It's not very cold now, it's not the same to wash in cold water. Zhao Yuanchao didn't cook something to eat, which made Tang Nengzhen breathe a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Zhao Yuanchao would cook something to eat, if this mouth was opened, anyone would come to cook and eat if they were not full in the future, so that the food at home could afford to be so wasted.
While breathing a sigh of relief, he felt that Zhao Yuanchao was wasting firewood by boiling hot water. And she knew who it was for when she thought about it with her toes. In the past, when Zhao Yuanchao was at home, he didn't use cold water that day, but as soon as his wife entered the door today, she wanted to boil hot water. It's not for his wife, it's for whom. This mother-in-law is very hypocritical, and she also needs hot water. If she wants to boil hot water every day, let her go and collect firewood. Otherwise, I don't know how hard it is to collect firewood.
Tang Nengzhen said, but Zhao Yuanchao's fire had already burned, and she couldn't go up to extinguish the fire, so she had to let him go. However, it was Li Mei who was remembered again in his heart. When she returns to the door tomorrow, Tang Nengzhen is ready to let Li Mei pick up firewood. As long as she knows how hard it is to collect firewood, she won't need hot water every day.
However, her plan has not yet been implemented, and it can be expected that she will not succeed. For the sake of her own health, picking up some firewood or something is nothing to Li Mei at all. Therefore, Tang Nengzhen's plan to pay attention to the end of failure.
Zhao Yuanchao covered the pot and boiled it, and there was not much water in the pot, so the water soon became hot. Zhao Yuanchao used the basin that Li Mei gave him to pour hot water into it.
As soon as Li Mei saw that the water was boiling, she hurriedly jumped down from the bed and took the basin in Zhao Yuanchao's hand. I tested the temperature with my hands, and the water temperature was just right.
The water temperature was right, so Li Mei took out her small basin for washing her buttocks, poured some water into it, and cleaned the basin again. When she did this, she had already forgotten all about Zhao Yuanchao. When she washed the basin and was about to take it out to pour water, she just happened to see Zhao Yuanchao looking directly at the basin in her hand.
Li Mei saw that he had been staring at the basin in her hand, "What are you looking at, what's so beautiful?" After speaking, she didn't forget to glare at Zhao Yuanchao.
Zhao Yuanchao was glared at by Li Mei like this, and couldn't help touching his head with his hand. The reason why he kept staring at this pot was because he really couldn't figure out what this wooden basin Li Mei was used for, because this wooden basin was so small.
Wash your face with water, but it's too small. It seems to be a little too big for rice. If Li Mei knew about the basin she used to wash her ass, Zhao Yuanchao guessed that it was used to hold rice, and he would definitely beat him.
