Chapter 7 Uninvited Guests

Unconsciously, two months have passed, and it is the spring of another year, Xiao Zhouyu is very happy, because she can take off her cotton jacket to grow vegetables, she is now a little expert in growing vegetables. Today, my brother went to the market to sell the basket that was not sold out yesterday, she didn't go with it, and bought a lot of rapeseed and vegetable seedlings yesterday, including peppers, eggplants, cucumber seedlings and water spinach seeds, she has to plant them today, and she has to water them in the evening.

Jin Wuzhu went well this morning, and soon sold out the basket, and he bought a pot for cooking rice, in the past, Zhou Yu used to stew rice in a large pot and then stir-fry vegetables, and then use this pot to cook rice in the future, and he could eat hot rice at once, thinking of this, he was very happy, and his steps were brisk.

It was almost home, Jin Wuzhu imagined his sister's surprised expression when she saw the pot, and went to the kitchen in three steps and two steps.

"Sister, come and see, the pot I bought." Just as Jin Wuzhu was calling his sister, a particularly fragrant smell poured into his nose.

"Brother, come on! We have pheasants to eat today. Zhou Yu, who heard Jin Wuzhu's voice in the kitchen, said happily.

"Is this our new pot? It's beautiful! Waiting for Jin Wuzhu to enter the house, Zhou Yu hurriedly took the pot in his hand, which was an iron pot used to cook rice on a firewood fire, and the bottom was an inverted cone, in order to increase the area of the fire, and there was a handle on it. Zhou Yu hurriedly took it and put it on the shelf made by Jin Wuzhu, just enough to put it down.

"Sister, how did you catch a pheasant?" Jin Wuzhu saw the fragrant chicken on the table.

"Brother, come and eat, I'll tell you slowly." Zhou Yu took out a bowl of rice from the cauldron and handed it to his brother.

With Zhou Yu's narration, let's take a look at what happened in the morning.

**

In the warm sunshine of the morning, Zhou Yu planted pepper seedlings while thinking about how they would grow up and be full of peppers, and a smile naturally appeared on her face.

After squatting for a long time, she was a little tired, she straightened up and rested, only to find that a young man was staring at her curiously. After looking at her, the young man was a little embarrassed. I didn't know what to say for a while.

"May I ask if this brother wants to ask for water?" After a while, Zhou Yu spoke first.

"Yes." The boy didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to nod.

"Wait, I'll pour it for you." Zhou Yu ran away as soon as she slipped away, she first went to the creek to wash her hands, and then went to the kitchen to pour water.

"Give." She brought the water to the boy.

"What are you planting here?" After drinking the water, the boy finally spoke.

"This is a chili pepper seedling, and it can produce a lot of chili peppers in the future." Zhou Yu said angrily.

"Can I help you?" The teenager asked.

"Okay, come, I'll teach you." Zhou Yu picked up a seedling and handed it to the young man, demonstrating as he spoke. The boy followed her.

"This root must not be bent, it must be straight." Zhou Yu said while helping to correct it. The boy followed very seriously.

"What's your name?" Journeyman Zhou Yu asked while doing it.

"My name is Jin Yuanyi, what about you?" The teenager who was studying seriously waited until he finished planting a seedling before answering.

"My name is Zhou Yu."

Zhou Yu did it skillfully, Jin Yuanyi was not used to the small flying insects in the ground or something, and rubbed it with the back of his hand when he felt itchy. When the seedlings were planted, the two straightened their waists at the same time. But when Zhou Yu saw Jin Yuanyi, she bent down again, and this time she couldn't straighten up with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Jin Yuanyi also smiled with her, but she was confused.

"Come, I'll take you to wash." Saying that, Zhou Yu took Jin Yuanyi's hand and walked to the stream.

Jin Yuanyi looked at Zhou Yu's muddy hand holding his also muddy hand from behind, feeling a little kind and a little embarrassed, except for his family, no outsider has ever been so close to him.

Zhou Yu led him to the big rock of the stream, put her hands in the water, she quickly washed her hands by herself, and quickly ran to get her own little towel.

"Give you a towel to wash your little flower cat face." Zhou Yu said while laughing.

Jin Yuanyi will only know why she is smiling, he took a picture of his face in the water, and it was really a flower cat face. After washing his face, he returned the towel to Zhou Yu, and said with a smile: "Thank you!" ”

"No thanks." Zhou Yu said sweetly.

Walking from the creek to the floor, Jin Yuanyi pointed to the stacked bamboo and asked, "What is this bamboo used for?" ”

"You can make up a lot of things, come, I'll show you what my brother made up." Zhou Yu took Jin Yuanyi into the kitchen.

"You see, this bamboo table was made by my brother." Zhou Yu touched the table as he spoke, and told Jin Yuanyi that the table was very smooth.

"And this chair, these bamboo bowls, bamboo chopsticks and bamboo baskets, all made by my brother!" Zhou Yu said proudly.

"Your brother is so capable!" Jin Yuanyi said with a thumbs up.

Seeing Jin Yuanyi's brother Yang, Zhou Yu became even more energetic, although it was only a few steps from the kitchen to the bedroom, she still took Jin Yuanyi's hand and couldn't wait to run over.

"You see, this bamboo bed was also made by my brother! My brother is amazing, right? ”

"Well, that's amazing!" While Jin Yuanyi was praising her, she also saw the tattered quilt on the mattress, and there was only one bed, did she still have to squeeze a bed with her big brother?

After the introduction, Zhou Yu and Jin Yuanyi walked out together.

"How old is your brother?" Jin Yuanyi asked curiously as she walked.

"It's about the same as you!" Zhou Yu approached Jin Yuanyi and said in front of him.

"Pretty much the same as me? That's it? ”

"yes, and it should be smaller than you."

Just when Jin Yuanyi was surprised, they heard a gunshot. was so frightened that Zhou Yu fell to the ground.

"Don't be afraid, that's my uncle hunting." Jin Yuanyi hurriedly squatted down and helped Zhou Yu up. But he noticed that she was still trembling, so he took her in his arms and patted her on the back with his hand. Slowly, she quieted down.

"Little sister, why are you so afraid of gunshots? And it's so far away. Jin Yuanyi asked him softly.

"I~" The cheerful Zhou Yu chose to be silent this time, she seemed like she couldn't explain it herself.

"Let's go and see if my uncle has a catch, okay?" Jin Yuanyi didn't want to embarrass her, so she didn't ask any more. He naturally took Zhou Yu's hand and walked out, so naturally that he didn't even notice that he was holding someone else's hand. He whistled three times as he walked, and after a while, three whistles responded, and he took Zhou Yu in the direction of the whistle.

Soon the whistle owners met, and the expressions of the three people when they met were very different, Jin Yuanyi saw that his uncle was carrying a pheasant in his hand, he took Zhou Yu's hand and walked over happily, wanting to see how big the prey was, Zhou Yu hid behind Jin Yuanyi when he saw the man with the gun in his hand, and his steps slowed down. Jin Yuanyi sensed her fear, turned to her and said, "Come, don't be afraid, he is my uncle, we went out to hunt together, let's go see if his pheasant is big." ”

This tall bearded man who was called his uncle by Jin Yuanyi opened his eyes wide when he saw Jin Yuanyi, is this still the Jin Yuanyi who has a habit of cleanliness? There is a lot of mud on his body, even in his hair, is this still the usually cold Jin Yuanyi? He was actually holding a little girl's hand! This kid is so abnormal today, but strange as strange, he still hasn't said anything.

Jin Yuanyi took the pheasant in the man's hand and said, "Well, the weight is not light." Then he turned to Guan Zhouyu and said, "This chicken is given to you for lunch, will you kill it?" ”

"I won't, I haven't killed." Where did Zhou Yu have the money to buy chickens to eat, so he didn't do it.

"Will you?" Jin Yuanyi asked the bearded man.

"I will."

"Okay, please teach us!" Jin Yuanyi said to the bearded man.

This time the beard is so strange that his eyes are about to fall, Jin Yuanyi wants to learn to kill chickens, no! You still want me to teach, no! He blew his beard and followed them with a chicken in his hand.

"Let's go to the kettle and boil the water first!" After arriving at Zhou Yu's house, the bearded man was surprised again, because in his opinion, this place was too simple.

Following the instructions, Zhou Yu went to boil water, and Jin Yuanyi came to help. After the water was beaten and the fire was started, Jin Yuanyi squatted next to Zhou Yu to watch her burn the fire, she burned the bamboo tips and bamboo leaves that could not be used, and the bamboo crackled when it burned, Jin Yuanyi watched curiously from the side. Suddenly, a large bamboo node exploded, and the sparks splashed towards Jin Yuanyi, Zhou Yu reacted quickly, and immediately swept the sparks on his legs with his hands, Jin Yuanyi pulled her hand away, and quickly stood up and shook off the sparks on her body.

"Let's go." Jin Yuanyi picked up Zhou Yu and quickly ran to the creek and soaked his hands in the water.

"Why are you so stupid, I will shake off Mars myself, how can I sweep it with my hands?" Jin Yuanyi blamed Zhou Yu.

"I'm afraid I'll burn you." Zhou Yu pursed his mouth and said.

"Not next time, let me see your hands." Jin Yuanyi took out Zhou Yu's hand and looked at it, it was okay, a little red, but not powerful. He put her hand back in the water.

"You soak your hands here, I'll go and light the fire." Jin Yuanyi said and went to the kitchen.

"How long will it take?"

"Fifteen minutes."

When Jin Yuanyi boiled the water, Zhou Yu's hands were soaked for more than ten minutes, and the bearded man began to perform killing chickens. The chicken was placed in a basin, and the bearded man lifted boiling water and poured boiling water on the chicken, and then instructed the two children to pluck their feathers.

"How can you pull it out when it's so hot?" Jin Yuanyi asked puzzled.

"Figure it out yourself, it's hard to pull it out when it's cold." The bearded man said.

Zhou Yu grabbed a chicken wing and quickly plucked the feathers while constantly changing fingers.

"No, it'll burn you." Jin Yuanyi hurriedly snatched the chicken wings in Zhou Yu's hand, but he was hot enough.

"It's still a little girl who can work!" The bearded man said with a smile.

The bearded man turned the chicken over with bamboo, and when it was not so hot, the three of them worked together and plucked the hair. Everything that follows is done by the bearded. When the chicken nuggets were stacked, he said, "Learn a little, but there is no next time." ”

"Thank you, uncle, you all eat together at noon, okay?" Zhou Yu warmly invited.

Jin Yuanyi looked at the bearded man and asked for permission with his eyes.

"No, you forgot that there are classes in the afternoon." Seeing that Jin Yuanyi wanted to stay, the bearded man once again suspected that this kid was possessed by something today.

"Little sister, I'm sorry, we have something to do in the afternoon, you and your brother can eat, I'll come to see you next time." After speaking, Jin Yuanyi reluctantly left.

"Goodbye then, thank you." Zhou Yu waved his hand to watch Jin Yuanyi leave.

**

"Are you sure they're all good people?" Jin Wuzhu said when he finished listening to his sister.

"Surely good guys." Zhou Yu nodded and said.

"You still can't be home alone in the future, what if a bad guy comes?"

"No, brother, very few people come here."

The siblings cherished a small portion of the chicken and left most of it for tomorrow.
