"The roof is leaking."

Just when Qingyuan was asleep listening to the story and heard that Shubai had put a list on his body and was about to close his eyes, Zhang Xin suddenly came up with such a sentence, which startled Shubai.

"Huh?"

"I saw the starlight."

"Ahh

"I am a martial arts practitioner, and my eyesight is stronger than that of your scholars."

"Oh."

Shubai didn't reply, and after a while, Zhang Xin turned over, bent his long legs, put on a more comfortable position, closed his eyes and fell into a dark and sweet dream, but Shubai had insomnia.

In order to show the glory and nobility of the scholars, he took out the bottom of the house and covered it with tiles, instead of using the thatched roof used by most people in the village.

The green tile roof is magnificent, but it is troublesome to maintain, and it is more expensive, and the thatched roof can be mowed and braided and pressed by itself, as if it was moved over separately and asked someone to pick up the tile once, and this time it has not been repaired for several years.

Is it because it hasn't leaked in the past few years? No, it's leaky, when it rains outside, the house is ticking, only after the separation of Shubai and his mother Ji have been sick, they don't have the strength to climb on the roof, and they don't have the spare money to ask someone to pick up tiles, as for grandma and the second room...... Don't mention it.

There has been no rain after the Chinese New Year this year, so Shubai has not thought of repairing the house at all, now Zhang Xin mentioned, Shubai immediately kept this important matter in mind, these two days to set the materials first, and so on Zhang Xin left, the house has to be repaired immediately, after the drought is difficult to say whether there will be a big flood, can not wait until the rain to come to repair.

This night, Shubai thought about his thoughts for a long time before falling asleep, and he couldn't help getting up late in the morning, and Zhang Xin opened his eyes on time, and then heard a strange rustling sound, he looked at the brothers who were sleeping soundly on the side of the kang, slowly opened the list and got off the kang, and quietly opened the door and slipped out.

He stood at the door and looked around, there was an oil lamp on the kitchen, and the dim light reflected a petite figure, the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose in him, and then he went to the well to wash up and then entered the kitchen.

"Cousin, it's so early, what are you doing?" Zhang Xin asked.

"Good morning, cousin, I'm grinding soy milk." Li Niang raised her smiling little face, and her subordinates kept pushing the stone mill.

"Cousin has never seen a stone mill like this, has he? This is my brother specially asked the old stonemason in the town to order, yesterday only pulled back, this head is small, I can push a small body like this, unlike other people's are so big a grinding plate, and you took a bath last night bath plate is the size of the bath, that has to be an adult or a donkey to push it. ”

Li Niang said with a small mouth, her voice was soft and glutinous, like a feather gently plucking a string in Zhang Xin's heart, and there was a strange emotion fermenting in his heart, making him feel numb and crispy.

He moved his neck a little uncomfortably, reached out to hold the stone grinding handle, and said in a rough voice: "I'm coming!" ”

The big hand touched the small hand below, what a strange touch, both of them were shocked, Li Niang took the lead in withdrawing her hand and retracted it, Zhang Xin's fingers tightened, and she pushed up the crank as if nothing happened, but it was also decent.

People want to help, Li Niang has to admit this feeling, free her hands to add beans and water to the mill in time, for a while the two did not speak, one person pushed the grind and one person added, and the cooperation was good.

In the end, the man has great strength, Li Niang sighed and added the last spoonful of soybeans, if she came by herself, she couldn't finish it in two quarters of an hour.

"Okay, it's over, cousin sit down and rest."

"What's next?"

Are you still addicted? Li Niang glanced at Zhang Xin in surprise, "Next, we need to filter the bean dregs, then put the filtered soybean milk in the pot and boil, and then half of the soy milk is kept for drinking, and half of the soy milk is marinated and pressed into tofu." ”

"You grind so much soy milk, can you finish it? Want to pull it out and sell it? ”

So cautious? Li Niang glanced at him again and said with a smile: "If you can't finish eating tofu, you can put it in the cellar to make frozen tofu, and I will make you frozen tofu and roast meat at night, it's delicious, and eating more soy products is good for your body's recovery." ”

Turned around and handed him a bowl of warm brown sugar water, "The Lingzhu water has been soaked, cousin drink it first, if there is any discomfort in the body, you should tell us in time, if not, please ask Dr. Li to come over, don't shy away from the doctor, his old man is a good person, his only son is a county magistrate in another county, and he usually takes care of our family, cousin and rest assured, what to say and what not to say, his old man knows it." ”

Zhang Xin took the Lingzhu water, slurped and drank it all, listened to every word she said in his ears, and then said a good word, and continued to help her work, everything related to her he wanted to touch, and he didn't know the words of the gentleman's cooking.

Shubai led Qingyuan out of the door, his eyes widened like a ghost, what did he see? The dignified British prince is actually setting the dishes and chopsticks?!

"Cousin is early, Qingyuan is early, go wash up, breakfast is ready." Zhang Xin pursed his lips and smiled, in front of outsiders, this is already his limit, the days of laughing and making trouble unscrupulously have long been gone from him, and only occasionally when he is alone with Du Li can he let go of himself for a short time.

Qingyuan sniffed, and pulled his brother who was in a daze, "Big brother, go wash up, I want to drink tofu brain." ”

Shubai, who was pulled out of the house by his younger brother, still didn't come back to his senses, don't think that his eyes would be broken if he read too much, he obviously saw Zhang Xin put four sets of dishes and chopsticks.

What does this mean? Does Zhang Xin want Li Niang to eat at the table? As an older brother, should I let her go?

Shubai is entangled and dead, not only wants his family to eat with Meimei, but also doesn't want his sister to be slandered and innocent in the future, as for whether he will offend the British prince? He said he hadn't thought about it.

Wait until Shubai finishes washing and returns to the main room, he doesn't have to worry about it, Zhang Xin and his sister have already been on the table, they are sitting opposite each other, one is the main and the other is lower, the expression is called a calm, Shubai pressed his chest, a little sad, he was worried about it for a long time in Nabai, look at these two heartless, or simple and ignorant children, alas, the brother is not easy to be.

Sweet soybean milk, salty tofu brain, soft Erhe noodle steamed buns, as well as crispy fried dried fish, refreshing cucumber strips, delicious breakfast makes people forget their troubles for a while, the four of them quickly and elegantly eliminate the food, the three brothers and sisters behaved well in the dining rules, even Zhang Xin was secretly surprised.

After the meal, Shubai's injured little liver was quickly cured, because Li Niang quietly told him that she was asked by Zhang Xin to eat at the table, and he said that he is now a cousin, and everyone naturally has to get along with the family, and pay attention to every bit of it, so that it becomes natural to get used to it, and if outsiders come to the house, they will not be suspicious.

The word outsider, Zhang Xin is very clever, and he was really ignored by the brother and sister, Zhang Xin stood under the eaves and looked up at the blue sky, secretly giving himself a thumbs up, he can do a lot, there is really a lot, don't rush, take your time little by little.
