The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a rare and lively time of the year, and Li Qingyou used to go to see the lanterns every year, but this year I am afraid that I can't go.

You can't leave your brother at home alone.

Compared with the loss of not being able to see the lanterns, Li Qingyou feels more sorry for his brother, children like to be lively the most, but this child can't go out of this house, let alone go around the county.

"Sister, what are we going to eat tonight?" Ah Di watched Li Qingyou make a pot of noodles and shook his teeth, shook the flour on the ground, and the basin was also a mess of flour.

Li Qingyou was also confused, she remembered that Mrs. Li used to make dumplings like this, but why wasn't that the case when she came here?

"Tangyuan?" The corners of Ard's mouth twitched.

After a while, Li Qingyou put down the basin and hesitated for a while: "Why don't we change to steamed sugar buns?" ”

Brother, "......"

"Okay, okay, the sugar buns must be delicious." Ah Di tried his best to show a bright smile, the difference between sugar buns and sugar steamed buns is probably a few more pleats...... Right?

Steamed buns are different from glutinous rice balls, which are made of loose noodles, and steamed buns should be filled with water and noodles.

As a result, Li Qingyou forgot to pick out the sugar cubes in the noodles, poured a scoop of water into it, and the sugar melted away, and the water was poured too much, so he had to add noodles to it, and as a result, there were more noodles, and then the water was released......

Seeing that the basin of noodles was changed from a small basin to a medium basin, and then to a large basin, Ah Di expressed a little worry, but looking at Li Qingyou's words, he was very empathetic and made a look that no matter what Sister Qingyou did, it was delicious.

Li Qingyou's face was a little feverish, but she still had to pretend to be calm immediately, she was an older sister, and she couldn't be embarrassed in front of her sister.

"Aren't you tired of eating sticky bean buns lately, just so let's make more noodles and bring out the portions of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Li Qingyou tried his best to hide his weakness and said with words.

Speaking of which, she can also cook, but it is limited to simple home-cooked meals, and she can't handle it with a slight increase in technical difficulty, which she also said is very painful.

"Okay, my sister is the best." Adipo gives face.

Seeing that there were too many noodles in the basin, Li Qingyou decided to break it into pieces, put some of them into a small basin, and tinkered with them again.

The sugar was all used up before, but I thought about cutting a cabbage again, chopping some meat filling in it, and the sugar bun became a vegetable bun.

By the time the steamed buns came out of the pot, it was already dark.

Anyway, a pot of steamed buns was finally steamed, but as soon as the buns were taken out and not ready to eat, there was a knock on the door outside.

Ah Di returned to Xili as fast as possible, and Li Qingyou went out to see that it was Zhang Tieniu coming, and he was still holding a wooden box in his hand.

"Sister Qingyou, what about cooking?" Zhang Tieniu's eyes were shining and he looked at the smoke curling in the chimney, and he couldn't hide his longing, he hadn't eaten the food cooked by the Qingyou girl.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Li Qingyou's face, "Brother Tie Niu, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhang Tieniu came back to his senses, handed over the box, met Li Qingyou's clear eyes, his heart suddenly beat wildly, his ears suddenly turned red, scratched his head and said, "What's that, it's for you." ”

The workmanship of the box is relatively rough, but in terms of Zhang Tieniu's salary, this is already very good.

Li Qingyou was holding the box, but it seemed to be holding a hedgehog, Zhang Tieniu knew her thoughts, but when she thought of his mother's attitude......

Li Qingyou was at the gate, Zhang Tieniu wanted to go in but was embarrassed, after all, her father and mother were gone, and the lonely man and widow had a bad reputation for her, but he didn't want to leave.

"What's delicious?" Zhang Tieniu didn't have anything to say, his eyes were aimed at Li Qingyou from time to time, but when she looked over, he quickly dodged away and looked into the courtyard.

Li Qingyou reluctantly pulled out a smile and made something to eat casually.

For Zhang Tieniu, Li Qingyou's mood is a little complicated, this era is not as free as modern marriage and love, and the family affairs are all based on the words of the matchmaker on the orders of her parents, she knows that she should keep her distance from Zhang Tieniu.

But the death of the old couple of the Li family was obviously killed by someone, and the matter of the elder brother also needs to trouble Zhang Tieniu, she can't use his feelings when she knows that the two have no results.

But she couldn't find anyone else to help but him.

"You, why don't you take a look at what's inside?" Zhang Tieniu scratched his head, looking at Li Qingyou with anticipation, and even more looking forward to her surprise when she saw the silk flower.

Qingyou girl definitely likes it.

"I ......" Just when Li Qingyou was hesitating whether to return the box to him, a shy and timid voice suddenly sounded in front of him.

"Brother Zhang?"

It was Qin Xiu who spoke, even though the sky had darkened, she could still feel the warmth in her eyes.

"Brother Zhang, I lost a purse on the street just now, can you ask Brother Zhang to help me find it?" As he spoke, Qin Xiu had already come to him, and he didn't know whether he was intentionally or unintentionally separated between Li Qingyou and Zhang Tieniu.

His gaze fell on the box in Li Qingyou's hand, Qin Xiu's eyes darkened, and then he looked at Zhang Tieniu with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Zhang Tieniu didn't notice the resentment in the girl's eyes, he was a catcher in the yamen, and it was his duty to find the lost property, so he nodded when he heard the words, "Cheng, tell me what your purse looks like, where you lost it, and I'll help you find it." ”

Qin Xiu's dim eyes lit up instantly, and when he looked at Li Qingyou again, he had a hint of pride, "It's over the East Street, let's go over now, maybe we won't be able to find it if there are too many people later." ”

There are lanterns on the street tonight, if she directly asks him to accompany her to see the lanterns, she can't say it, she wants to go to see the lanterns with Zhang Tieniu, but she doesn't want to lose her reserve, so she came up with such a way.

Qin Xiu felt that she was simply extremely smart.

"Sister Qingyou, why don't you go out for a walk too?" Zhang Tieniu looked at Li Qingyou reluctantly, originally he wanted to invite her to see the lanterns together.

Li Qingyou couldn't see Qin Xiu's careful thoughts, and she hadn't figured out how to face Zhang Tieniu and the younger brother in the house, so naturally she couldn't go.

"I'm not going, it's a little uncomfortable, you guys go play." Li Qingyou politely refused.

"Uncomfortable? Is it cold, why don't you go to Lang Zhong to take a look? Zhang Tieniu immediately forgot about the others, and Qin Xiu on the side was furious.

"It's okay, I just didn't sleep well last night, I'll just sleep well later, you guys go." After Li Qingyou finished speaking, he closed the door, and Qin Xiu's urging could still be heard through the door panel.

I couldn't help but sigh and turned around and went into the house.

Ah Di was already sitting at the table, looking at the bun with a complicated expression, and when he saw Li Qingyou coming in, he hurriedly beckoned her to come over for dinner.

His eyes touched the box in her hand, and he immediately guessed who gave it to him, and then looked at Li Qingyou's thoughtful eyes, and silently handed the bun to her, "Sister, eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold later." ”
