Chapter Seventy-One: Breaking the Ice
There was no doubt that the fish pond not far from the house was frozen, and by the next morning, after another night of winter snow, the ice on the surface of the fish pond was quite thick.
At first, Li Mu was worried that the purple shrimp under the ice would not be able to withstand this low temperature, so he also took a hammer and wanted to break the ice, but when he came to the fishing boat and watched the dense purple shrimp under the ice swimming around flexibly, how could he feel a little uncomfortable, so he let go of his thoughts.
"Woohoo."
Outside the house, Gojo suddenly shouted, there was no malice in the voice, Li Mu knew that it was Qin Xin and the others who came, so he went out to greet them.
Sure enough, Qin Xin drove a BMW with a crimson body and slowly stopped outside.
As soon as the car stopped, the rear door was opened, and then a series of cheerful laughter came into Li Mu's ears, one laughter was hoarse and vicissitudes, and the other was crisp and immature, Li Mu knew that it was Qin Lao and Xiao Man's voices at a glance.
A group of four people got out of the car, it was really old and obscene, and the woman was beautiful.
I saw that the big man in the Chinese literary world was curled up in a thick cotton green military coat at the moment, and the old face covered with knife and frost marks was grinning with five or six yellow teeth at this time, and the laughter was indescribably obscene. Li Muzhi listened to it with a cold hair.
The other three are really charming, Xiao Man was the first to jump out of the car, as cute as ever, dressed in a cute style, the purple down jacket was chubby, and her innocent and pretty face was more fair and immature.
Xie Lingshan is wearing a black windbreaker, with the cold temperament she has cultivated as a criminal police officer all year round, she is really heroic.
And Qin Xin is extremely rare to wear a black leather coat, with her hair curled on the top of her head, although the leather coat perfectly sets off her beautiful figure, but it is a little incompatible with her usual intellectual temperament, however, Li Mu glanced twice, but found that the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but feel a turmoil in his heart.
Several people were already familiar with Li Mu, and they greeted each other casually, and followed Li Mu into the house to drink tea. But Xiao Man is a master who can't be idle: "I'll go to the fish pond to have a look." "Apparently thinking about the noon meal.
Inside the house, because there was no air conditioning, Li Mu specially took an iron basin and burned some charcoal fire to heat the house, but it didn't seem to be effective, and the temperature in the house was still a little low.
"Let's make a fire."
Li Mu padd the edge of the iron basin with a rag and put it on the table, Qin Lao was old, and his body was the worst of the few, so he was the first to sit on the edge of the table when he heard this, stretching out two dry hands like bark to rub them for warmth.
"Oh, Li Mu, your heating method reminds me of decades ago, when there was no air conditioning and no thermal underwear, even the house was leaking, and it snowed in winter, that taste, now I think about it, it is incredible to be able to stick to it at that time."
"That's how Old Qin kept warm at that time." Xie Lingshan glanced at Qin Lao, with respect and admiration in her eyes, "Just so I'll try it today." ”
"It's not comparable, now the global greenhouse effect, it's also winter, and it's much colder than now." Qin Lao laughed 'haha', and he was in a very good mood.
Li Mu was afraid that the fire would be too small and freeze Qin Lao, so he went to the kitchen to get some black charcoal and threw it into the iron basin, and the red flame only dimmed for a while, and then burned violently again.
Li Mu hurriedly closed the door again to block the cold wind, and the room was finally a little warm. He went back and poured the tea, without stopping for a moment.
Qin Lao looked at the busy Li Mu, his eyes were full of banter and satisfaction, and Xie Lingshan also glanced at the calm Qin Xin strangely, and then looked away.
It turned out that in the car before, Qin Lao joked about Qin Xin, and the old tune was to give her Zhang Luo's lifelong event, which was nothing more than arranging a blind date, and Qin Xin pressed the horn helplessly, and finally Xiao Man, a foodie, because he usually eats purple shrimp, is the so-called short mouth of eating people, so he helped Li Mu speak at that time, saying that he wanted to match the two first, Qin Lao was stunned when he heard it, and said yes, but he was suddenly stunned after laughing, because he did not wait for Qin Xin's resolute opposition.
It's not the first time that Qin Lao has arranged this kind of thing for his granddaughter, but every time he either refuses sternly, or plays the emotional card, the last time is the same as just now, he doesn't speak, but he expresses his dissatisfaction and unwillingness by honking the horn, but now?
It's strange, Qin Xin didn't have any reaction, didn't she hear it?
Qin Lao then talked about Li Mu, and praised him a lot, and finally concluded that he was a good man, very suitable for Qin Xin and so on, but the expected opposition still did not appear, Qin Lao finally understood something now, he even stared at the rearview mirror in the car with wide eyes, just in time to see the driver, that is, Qin Xin's eyes and eyebrows, I saw that those eyes were full of overwhelm and a little bit of very secret happiness, or happiness.
This was the particularly obscene laughter of Qin Lao when he got out of the car before.
"Li Mu, Li Mu is not good."
A few people sat in the house and chatted for a while, Xiao Man rushed in, as soon as she opened the door, the cold wind of 'whirring' poured into it like no money, until the old man Qin was so frozen that he couldn't wait to shrink his head into the military coat.
"Close the door, close the door." Li Mulian greeted and handed over Xiao Man's cup of hot water.
Xiao Man turned around and closed the door, took the steaming hot water, and then took a few sips before saying, "Li Mu, your fish pond is frozen, why don't you break the ice." ”
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and replied: "It's okay anyway, it's fun for me to watch, so I didn't smash it." ”
Xiao Man put down the cup, pointed at Li Mu's nose with one hand and pointed at Li Mu's nose with one hand, and said hatefully: "You are embarrassed to raise shrimp, don't you know that after the fish pond freezes, the fish and shrimp under the ice will be starved of oxygen." ”
Li Muleng paused, then reacted, patted his head, and said with a wry smile: "Blame me, blame me, I forgot these simple common sense." ”
Xiao Manyou was puzzled, and pulled Li Mu to walk out: "Go and smash the ice, go quickly." "I can't wait.
"Haha, I'll go see the excitement too." Old Man Qin was not old-hearted, and even held the hot teacup, shrunk and followed out.
Xie Lingshan immediately followed, for fear that the old man would fall into the fish pond by accident.
Qin Xin also stood up, but he didn't go out, he was interrupted by his grandfather and Xiaoman with Li Mu before, she didn't know what expression to use to face Li Mu now, and he hadn't said a word to her since just now, and he was inexplicably annoyed in his heart.
She sat back on her stool in distraught, watching the flames rise and fall in the cold wind, illuminating her face uncertainly.
Outside the house, Xiao Man jumped directly into the fishing boat like a tomboy, but the old man was so frightened that he almost threw the hot teacup in his hand.
"Li Mu, there is a hammer here, you smash it quickly, quickly."
Looking at Xiao Man's excited appearance, Li Mu understood that if it weren't for the fact that she couldn't hold the big hammer, it was estimated that she would have smashed it alone just now.
"Why don't you stay away?"
Li Mu went down to the fishing boat, picked up the twenty-kilogram hammer very easily, and made a gesture to throw it into the frozen fish pond.
Xiao Man was so frightened, not only did he not hide but also came to the side of the fishing boat very excitedly, stretched out his head to look at the purple shrimp swimming under the ice, his saliva was about to flow out, and he urged again and again: "Smash it, smash it." ”
…… Some readers at the beginning said that the last few chapters are garbled, and I want to say that I haven't written hh, so it shouldn't be mosaiced. If it really affects reading, anyway, the starting point and creation are one family, and it's okay to run through the door once in a while. In addition, I looked at the chapter at the starting point and there seemed to be no garbled characters.
