Chapter 44: White Snow

"Knock Knock"

"Ziyu, are you still there?" Mingluo stood panting in front of his door and knocked on his door for the first time.

"Here we go!" There was a muffled sound in the room.

"Squeak"

"During the time you left, I helped you clean up a little, I hope you are satisfied..."

Mingluo's ears moved, and he could hear that Ziyu's breathing was a little disordered, it seemed that he had just exercised not long ago, this Nizi, could it be that she had cleaned up a small room for so long?

Mingluo opened the door and curtain, but he was stunned when he looked at it.

When did your house become so spacious?

There are actually wooden planks on the wall that are wedged up with bamboo, and some of his difficult bottles and cans are all placed on them at the moment.

The bed also changed its position, and Mingluo had long been aware of that the sun in the early morning could not shine, but the scorching sun at noon and afternoon was okay, but it was too troublesome to move and had not been put into action.

And all of this, just after a day of farm work, was all reasonably planned by this girl?

"You're just... It's a fairy..."Mingluo watched the changes in the house dumbfounded, and he dared to say that there was no house in the village that was cleaner than his current house.

"Just... I did what I could... I was also worried that you would get angry because you weren't used to it. Listening to Mingluo's exaggerated admiration, Ziyu pursed her lips shyly, but there was a smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Ha, it's really worth half my hard work." Mingluo smiled and took out the hands that had been behind his back, "Look what I brought you?" โ€

"Crucian carp! Rabbit! Ziyu looked at the two things hanging high in Mingluo's hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Tell me, do you like to eat roasted rabbit stewed crucian carp, or do you want to eat roasted crucian carp stewed rabbit meat?" Mingluo asked with a smile.

"I... I ......" Ziyu almost drooled, "It's all right!" โ€

"Haha, little glutton." Mingluo lifted a bluestone slab about three feet square on the ground, revealing a small narrow space below.

"Wow, what is this?" Ziyu looked at the dark pit below and asked curiously.

"Where the pot is buried." Mingluo smiled proudly, "Bury firewood here, cover it with a bluestone slab to cook on it, and if you uncover the slate and put it on the grill, it can also be used for roasting." โ€

"See, there's a string over there that I dug up, it's a flue, a small chimney that leads to the outside of the house, there's a small hole here, you can ventilate, winter is coming, and it won't be extinguished when you light firewood." Mingluo pointed to the small black hole and introduced.

"You made it yourself, you're amazing." The small mouth of the fish is open in a circle, and the eyes are full of small stars.

"Did your father and your mother teach you?"

"My dad and my mother?" The smile on Mingluo's face froze, and he looked at Ziyu suspiciously, and after a while, he rubbed his temples as if he had a headache, "Hey... I don't remember either, I can't seem to remember. โ€

"Daddy... Mother..."Mingluo muttered these two somewhat awkward words, looking in a trance.

"Hey, how do you make grilled crucian carp, what do you need to prepare?" Ziyu poked Ming Luo with his elbow and shook him.

"Huh? Well... Yes! Mingluo looked at Ziyu as if he had just reacted, "Were you talking to me just now?" โ€

"yes, I ask you how to make grilled fish." Ziyu smiled.

"Hey, let me tell you, this is a good practice." Mingluo regained his smile, and while cleaning up the fish in his hand, he gushed endlessly: "The fish scales are wrapped in batter and fried, the fish head and tail are stewed in soup and drunk, and the fish internal organs are dug out for fertilizer, this fish meat, of course, is sprinkled with salt, minced ginger, and some wild tea spicy, that taste, tsk......tt"

Ziyu was drooled by what he said.

"Hehe, not only grilled fish, but also stewed fish." Ming Luo saw that the fish secretly swallowed saliva funny tight, laughed in his heart, and introduced: "Fry this fish on the bluestone slab, and then go to the head and tail, boil the water below, and put the head and tail of the ginger fish head and tail together, and then put the fish body and tofu salt into the pot, and stew it for half an hour. โ€

"Goo..."

In the quiet room, there was an extremely loud sound of swallowing.

"Poof... Hahaha! Mingluo couldn't hold back and laughed out loud, this little girl is so cute.

"You... You are not allowed to laugh. Ziyu bit his lip and twisted his body angrily, with a touch of sunshine straight to the root of his ears.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it, seeing that you like to eat stewed fish, then roast rabbit meat, you wait, I'll go to Uncle Qin's house to get some tofu and some pancakes." Mingluo stood up and said.

"Hmm!" Ziyu nodded vigorously, after a busy day, she was really hungry.

"Bang"

The wooden door creaked open and slammed shut, and Ziyu sat in the silent room with his knees crossed, the smile on his lips gradually disappeared.

The sky gradually darkened, a touch of the moon pierced through the clouds, hanging obliquely on the black but not black ceiling, Ziyu saw that the moonlight was translucent, so he opened the paper window and looked out, but when the window lattice was moved, a white paper, but drifted out along the blowing wind.

"Hey!" Ziyu panicked, so he reached out to grab it, but only touched the piece of paper with his fingertips, not only did he not catch it, but pushed it out.

"I don't know what was written on that piece of paper." Ziyu lay on the edge of the window dejectedly, looking at the white paper floating away in the wind, lifeless, like a butterfly with half of its wings folded.

This row of households, including Mingluo, all built their houses against the cliff, Ziyu leaned against the window, and in addition to the bamboo fence wall in the backyard, only the green trees in the distant col remained.

"Huh? Is that... Snow? Ziyu suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring at the large white that rolled in the wind at the extreme eyesight.

"There shouldn't be snow this season." Ziyu muttered, but the white patch was like a fallen leaf rolled in the wind, whistling and rushing in the mountains and forests.

ใ€ŽBellใ€

The sound of snapping the knocker.

Ziyu, who was immersed in his own world, was summoned back to his senses by this sudden voice, and hurriedly stood up, saying as he walked: "Come on, come on." โ€

When the door opened, I saw Mingluo smiling with a big bowl of fish soup stewed with tofu and about four or five pancakes.

"It's time to eat! Hey. โ€

"Huh? Already done? Didn't you say there was a soup here? Ziyu looked at the fragrant bowl of fish soup in Mingluo's hand and wondered.

"Hey, I was left by Uncle Qin, the fish soup he stewed with his own hands is much better than what I made." Mingluo carefully brought the fish soup into the house, for fear of spilling a little, "Hungry, you eat first, I'll roast rabbit meat for you!" โ€

"So... Not good. Ziyu pursed his mouth embarrassedly and swallowed his saliva quietly.

"What's wrong?" Mingluo put the fish soup and pancakes on the table, and then pushed them to the side close to Ziyu, "You are new here, you are not familiar with the place, if you don't have the slightest warmth, how can you stay here." โ€

Mingluo said seriously, with a cynical smile on the corner of his mouth, "Look, I give you some love, are you particularly willing to work for me?" You've cleaned up the house so neatly today, I don't want to let you go all of a sudden! โ€

"I want to teach you more, spinning, bamboo, sowing, and harvesting. In the future, all the work will be done by you, won't I be idle? As Mingluo spoke, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but expand.

"Right?"

"Poof..."Ziyu laughed, "You are stupid, just tell me so clearly, how did you succeed?" โ€

"Poof... Hahaha. Mingluo finally couldn't help laughing.

"Giggles..."Ziyu also covered his mouth and chuckled.
