Chapter 60: Cousin

In less than half an hour, the sneak attack insects were eliminated, Ji Yuan shouted loudly, commanded the immortal farmers to clean up the mess in a very orderly manner, and asked the immortal army to check the dead corners to search for the insects that had slipped through the net, and after the arrangement, the immortals scattered to carry out their tasks, but he came to the wooden house.

Li Niang opened the door, there was an indescribable disgusting smell between heaven and earth, Ji Yuan strode in, and said with a smile: "Isn't it very smelly?" It won't stink after a while, I don't think there's anything going on in your field, so it's better for you to go home early and come back tomorrow to work. ”

After being frightened, Li Niang also felt very tired, and she was not polite to Ji Yuan at the moment, saying that she would see her heavens, and then touched the ring and returned home.

She stood in the dark for a while, heard someone next door whispering, knew that it was Zhang Xin coming, and didn't dare to let go of her hands and feet, carefully and slowly wiped her body with the prepared water, changed into clean clothes and went to sleep on the kang.

I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep, but I didn't know that I smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms, and I slept until dawn as soon as I closed my eyes.

After getting up, he touched the peach blossom talisman on his chest and was stunned for a while, thinking that this was really a good thing, Qingyuan was wearing a rabbit talisman on his body, and he should have slept well.

Hearing the squeak of the door opening, Li Niang hurriedly dressed and combed her hair, and came out of the house, her brother was already cooking porridge on the fire.

"Brother, you stay up late, go to sleep for a while, and I'll cook the food."

"You stay up late and work harder, you go to sleep, brother cooks."

"No, brother, I didn't stay up late, I went to bed early, by the way, brother, did Qingyuan have a nightmare last night? I don't think I heard him cry? ”

"No, he slept soundly, and he didn't even open his eyes when I peed on him in the middle of the night."

"Hehe, that's good, it seems that the talisman is really effective, brother, you have to wear it closely, the effect of calming the mind is really good."

"Brother is wearing it."

Shubai pulled out the bamboo talisman around his neck and shook it towards Li Niang, his gentle smile was like a bright sunshine shining into her heart, and the last trace of uneasiness disappeared.

The door of the main room sounded again, Li Niang looked over, and a thin figure walked out, she was blessed in the past, "Good morning, I haven't got food yet, in fact, you can sleep a little longer." ”

"Well, it's time to get used to it." Zhang Xin's voice was a little hoarse, in fact, he was only eighteen years old this year, and he had just passed the voice change period, and he did not have the thick magnetism of a mature man.

Li Niang didn't know how to deal with such a big man, she thought for a while, "Then, I'll give you water to wash?" Are you used to using cold or hot water? ”

"Don't bother, you're busy, I'll go to the well to wash up." Zhang Xin said and glanced at Li Niang, "In the future, I will have to trouble Miss Mo to take care of it, for the sake of safety, we don't need honorifics, I call you cousin, you call me cousin." ”

Cousin? Cousin? What's going on?

Li Niang blinked her eyes wide, indicating that she didn't understand.

The corners of Zhang Xin's mouth curled slightly, and he said slowly that this was what he and Shubai had agreed to, usually he was recuperating in the house, and if someone bumped into him, he said that he was found by the Ji family, the son of Ji's sister, and the family was in trouble, so he came to run.

"From today onwards, I changed my name to Du Feng, remember." Zhang Xin said.

"Du, Du Feng?" Li Niang was so frightened that she was sweating.

"Yes, Mu Tudu, sharp edge, recognizable?" Zhang Xin looked at Li Niang with interest, why did she have such a frightened expression? This name was chosen by him temporarily, and his maternal uncle's family did not have this name, so he would not repeat it, where had she heard of it? This can be checked.

"Oh, it turned out to be this Feng, I thought it was ......" Li Niang's heart and liver fell back to the same place, and the person was also a lot easier.

"Why do you think so?"

"It's nothing, that, cousin, you go to exercise, I'll go to the barn and get some dried fish and fry it for you to accompany the porridge."

"Okay, hard work cousin."

"It's not hard, it's right to take care of your cousin, you can do it yourself."

Li Niang opened the door of the west wing, lifted the cover of the corner and entered the cellar, Zhang Xin stood in place for a while and then walked to the open area and slowly punched, Shubai retracted his stretched neck, looking at the flames in the stove hole thoughtfully.

Qingyuan woke up and found that there was an extra cousin at home, but he didn't think about why he didn't say it was a cousin when he came yesterday, Xiaowa was both surprised and excited, Shubai told him not to tell outsiders about his cousin, he agreed, Li Niang felt that his brother was thinking too much, Zhang Xin was here these days, Qingyuan definitely couldn't let go of the door, where did he get the opportunity to leak the secret.

Sometimes the elder brother does love to nag, the eldest brother is the father, and he has to worry about everything in the family.

There is one more person at the dinner table, he is still a foreign man, Li Niang is reluctant to eat on the table, Shubai is with her, you can eat in the kitchen or go back to her room to eat, and he is not happy that his sister has more contact with Zhang Xin.

And Zhang Xin didn't seem to care about this, he had a great interest in Qingyuan, a three-year-old baby, you can eat by yourself, you can pick up a pen and write, you can't find such a smart doll in the capital, he remembers that half-brother Zhang Ji, when he was three years old, he was still lying in the nurse's arms to breastfeed, and he didn't stop eating until he was five years old.

Smart child, coupled with a sweet mouth, Zhang Xin is very tolerant of Qingyuan, who loves to pester him to play, teaching Xiaowa to read without speaking, and promising to teach him boxing, saying that the scholar does not have a good physique, and he is sick at both ends in three days, and he will not be able to do things well for the court and benefit the people when he becomes an official in the future.

Shubai also listened to this, and in the evening, when Zhang Xin taught Qingyuan to box, he also studied with him, Li Niang cleaned up the kitchen and fed the chickens to watch, and then found that Zhang Xin was perfunctory to Qingyuan, but he taught his brother very carefully, and every action was very demanding.

Either way, she had to admit it.

At the end of this day, the four of them got along well, Zhang Xinzhen, who didn't put on a show, was like a big brother next door, he took care of Li Niang and Qingyuan, and he also respected Shubai, and he also brought cotton clothes, dressed exactly like an ordinary peasant boy.

But some things are innate, his extravagance can't be hidden, people are idle to that station, there is a majesty emanating, even if thin, it is also a sick tiger, fierce and ruthless is always inadvertently revealed.

So Shubai advised him to stay at home with peace of mind, observe the people's feelings or something, and talk about it later.

Li Niang snickered in her heart, and she also observed the people's feelings, obviously wanting to go out to play.

At night, Li Niang added some brown sugar to the soaked Lingzhu water and served it to Zhang Xin, he took a sip and squinted slightly, Li Niang felt that he liked it, and added sugar to him every day after tomorrow.

After Li Niang took the bowl and left, Shubai closed the door and took off his coat on the kang, Qingyuan threw himself into his brother's arms, his clean eyes flickered, "Brother, tell a story." ”

Shubai frowned a little embarrassed, "Ming'er will talk about it again, your cousin Feng is not in good health, let's not disturb his rest." ”

"It's okay, I want to hear my cousin tell me a story." Zhang Xin said and lay down at the end of the kang, put a list on his belly, smelled the fragrance of straw, and felt unprecedentedly calm.
