The autumn rain was dripping, and she could already feel a little chill when she got up early, Chu Ci tightened her collar, she didn't have to go to school today, so she was tired of being by her grandmother's side, watching her make breakfast, and moved her little feet in the direction of the stove, and the firewood burning at this time made her throat let out a comfortable sigh.

Mrs. Chu squinted at this warm little granddaughter, turned the spoon in her hand intently, filled a bowl of millet porridge and handed it over, "You little gluttonous cat, eat it"

"Thank you milk" The aroma of rice porridge made Chu Ci speechless, swallowing in his throat, and the action of swallowing was accelerated, and the compliments came smoothly, "Milk, the porridge you boiled is really fragrant, and the porridge you boiled is not as tasteful as the porridge you boiled, but it is delicious"

Chu Ci raised his lips and looked at the old lady who was always looking at her with a straight face and a little bluffing, and while saying sweet words, she also blinked her eyes, looking like she was a well-behaved and innocent person.

The appearance of the little granddaughter amused the old lady, "Isn't it just a pot of porridge, and it can still be boiled out of the aroma of meat."

The corners of Mrs. Chu's mouth pressed down, looking even more mean, if she were other children in the family, I am afraid that she would have been scared away by the old lady's change of face, but Chu Ci was not afraid.

"It's really more fragrant than meat, the porridge you make is particularly soft and glutinous, every millet bud has been boiled and flowered by you, and it doesn't get stuck in your throat at all when you drink it, and it is fragrant, you taste it"

Mrs. Chu took half a bite of this granddaughter's spoon, this porridge is the same as usual, probably because the little granddaughter's mouth is sweet.

"Milk, I'm going out to play"

Chu Ci successfully mixed a bowl of millet porridge in the kitchen for breakfast, the big girls outside were already picking up eggs, starting from this month, the three chicks began to lay eggs, thirty hens, four roosters, if the situation is good, more than 20 eggs, and Chu Ci also hired the big girls to take care of the chicken farm, and paid them four eggs a day as a reward.

Since then, a plate of scrambled eggs, steamed eggs, and boiled eggs can appear on the Chu family's dining table every once in a while.

And her goose was very competitive, and she fed five goose babies at once, and Chu Yun lay outside the chicken farm every day biting her fingers and looking at the meat inside and drooling.

After the autumn rain, the scattered unpicked wheat in the field grew green seedlings, Chu Ya got some wheat seedlings back, she planned to make a pot of maltose, but it takes time to boil the sugar, and the pot milk at home will definitely not be allowed to move, so it is really impossible to get a stove again, and it will be convenient to do anything at that time.

But before Chu Ya could speak, she was blasted out by milk, and she had no choice but to go to Chu Ci.

"The third sister means to build the stove?"

"Little sister, do you know maltose, it's the kind of sugar that is very sweet and sweet, it's delicious, when I'm ready to give it to you, you just need to be coquettish and let the milk build a stove, okay?" Chu Ya really had no choice, the adults in the family always treated her as a child and played around, and they didn't care about her.

"Okay, yes, what do you pay me?" Chu Ci's eyes rolled, and he suddenly had an idea.

Chu Ya choked, "It's just for you to say it, and you have to be rewarded" She has collected a lot of dry goods during this time, and her pocket is cleaner than her face.

"My sister settles accounts, don't you need to pay me for my work?" Chu Ci raised his face and looked at her expectantly.

"Is that ten cents okay?" Chu Ya pitifully took out all her money, which was all her savings.

Chu Ci didn't take it, "Third sister, if I remember correctly, you haven't given me the money for the salted duck eggs last time?" ”

Chu Ya's smile froze on her face all of a sudden, "I don't have any money now, I will definitely pay it back to you in the future, okay?" ”

Chu Ci smiled and said, "I want most of the maltose."

"Okay, yes" Chu Ya, who finally heard the little sister's agreement, breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding the needs of the Chu family's good treasure, Mrs. Chu looked at her with special doting, and muttered slightly, "It's okay to build a stove, turn around and rebuild the whole stove in the back of the yard."

"Then can you build a wall behind the stove, I will make snacks in front of me, let others go behind the wall to make a fire, it would be better if I could make a chimney" Chu Ya looked at the milk expectantly, if this can be successful, she can be regarded as truly out of the sea of suffering, and she can do whatever she wants in the future.

"Cheng, when you finish eating, your father will let them go to the mountain to build a stone stove" Mrs. Chu comforted Chu Ci with a smile, and raised her eyes and glared at Chu Ya viciously, you have a lot of.

Chu Ya was used to Mrs. Chu's extinction face that thundered and didn't rain, shrugged her shoulders, and left the hall, anyway, her purpose had been achieved.

After eating, Mrs. Chu said to a room of men, "You go back and immediately get stones and clay, build a stove in the backyard, remember carefully, the stove is set up in the middle of the house, and a wall is built on the side where the stove is facing......"

Mrs. Chu said a few words, and the whole family was busy.

I have to say that Mrs. Chu's action is very good, Chu Ci and Chu Ya thought that it would take more than ten days to get a stove room again, but as a result, early the next morning, Chu Ci was still asleep, and he was woken up by his cousin Chu Yun.

The stove has been built.

Chu Ya was also completely dumbfounded, she still underestimated the influence of her little sister in her heart.

"Third sister, you can make candy"

Chu Ci was thinking about the snacks Chu Ya made, and Mrs. Chu also walked out of the hall with a number of explanations, successfully solving Chu Ci and Chu Ya's confusion.

The reality is extraordinarily skinny, and the reason why the group of people in the Chu family moved so quickly was entirely because the old lady had seen their perfunctory attitude from yesterday.

So, by the time of lunch last morning, the old lady had reduced the original ingredients by one-third, and by the evening, she had reduced them by a little more, which was almost half of the original amount.

It's all the hard-working old men who can fight hunger, and if they do, they don't need to say anything, they work all night.

The process of boiling sugar is very boiling, Chu Ci woke up from sleep, the air was full of sweet smells, Chu Ya was directing the second brother to boil sugar, the sweet syrup in the cauldron, no matter how much hard work it was, it was worth it.

Especially for children, maltose is eaten casually, and it is as happy as the New Year.

It was almost cool, Chu Ya filled four jars, of which Chu Ci took away two jars, and when he was still distressed, he saw that the remaining sugar jars were taken away by the milk and left.

didn't care about the pot, Chu Ya threw down the spatula and ran over, "Milk, I made this maltose"

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Chu didn't stop, and neatly stuffed the sugar jar into the cabinet, clicked the tower, and locked it.

Looking back at Sanniu, I know you made it, but didn't the sugar at the bottom of the pot leave you a little, as for whether it is enough to eat, it is no longer in her consideration.

Chu Ya was like being struck by lightning, it's over, in this family, Mrs. Chu's strange degree is obvious to all, what was taken away by it, she didn't want to come back.

At this time, no matter how much Chu Ya regretted it, she couldn't get back the maltose that she never returned, through the window, Chu Ci covered her mouth and snickered, and the third sister seemed to be a little bit unremembered.

In the school.

"Chu Ci, look at my two words, how are they written?" Taking advantage of the rest, Chu Mingxuan immediately took out the best two of the few words he wrote last night, walked up to Chu Ci, and handed them over.

The three Chu Qingzhi brothers who were playing on the side, took a look at the scene they were used to and continued to play, there was a studious Chu Mingxuan in the classroom, and there was one more genius Chu Ci, now they were forced by these two people, studying every day, and the time for playing was constantly decreasing, and now they could only rest for half an hour, and they also wanted to take the opportunity to relax.

"It's very well written" Chu Ci stretched out his hand to take it, looking at the handwriting on it, it was almost exactly the same as what she wrote, his own obviously had his own unique style, compared to the dog-crawling font of his brothers, the young man in front of him could be called a genius among geniuses, and it was not an exaggeration.

However, Chu Ci noticed that his naked and exposed wrists were a little red and swollen, and he should practice all night, "However, you don't have to be too anxious, it's cold now, take a break after practicing for a while, otherwise it will be easy to hurt your hands."

During this period of time, Chu Ci and Chu Mingxuan were already very familiar, so he took out the malt candy in his pocket and said, "Please eat candy"

"En~, thank you" Chu Mingxuan has never accepted gifts and shares from others, just this Chu Ci's hand bit the maltose, sweet and silky, and the taste on her body is the same.

"It's delicious, my third sister made it"

"Delicious" Chu Mingxuan nodded slightly, two blushes floated on his face, if it was usual, he would have left now, but now he suddenly didn't want to go so much, he was his father's only child, but there were many cousins, they looked rough and unhygienic, he didn't like it.

No one knows that he has always wanted a delicate and fluffy sister.

Therefore, when he returned to the village for the first time, he saw a beautiful little girl being held by an adult at first sight, her eyelashes were long and thick, her eyes were clear, her cheeks were red and pink, and her lips were also cherry and peach-colored, and she looked particularly delicate and lovely.

But it's a pity that the girl who echoes all his fantasies about his sister is not his sister, so he has always been a little jealous of her three brothers, who can have such a beautiful, cute and well-behaved and sensible sister.

Chu Mingxuan didn't expect her to come back to the school, he was surprised and didn't know how to get along, he had always been very confident in his studies, but Chu Ci's appearance shattered his self-confidence, she was smart and clever, her handwriting was good-looking, and her memory was better than his.

The boy always refuses to admit defeat, especially those who are younger than him and smarter than him, he can only make up for the shortcomings with double diligence, and as a gentleman, Chus is happy to compare his students with his studies, but he will not stop it, after all, this is a good thing.

"This is the snack I brought back from outside" Chu Mingxuan's eyes softened, but his face was very handsome, cold type, and he couldn't see any softness when he was forcibly tense at the moment.

Chu Ci stared at his face for a while, looking at the lotus-shaped dim sum in his hand, he hadn't eaten it, but it seemed to be delicious, a little greedy, but it should be very expensive, she was not embarrassed to take such a valuable dim sum, and deliberately reserved "Thank you, I don't eat it"

Suddenly rejected, Chu Mingxuan's tone was a little cold, "I don't like to eat either"

But the young man appreciated Chu Ci even more in his heart, she was so well-behaved that she was embarrassed to ask for a piece of snack.

Hearing Chu Mingxuan say this, Chu Ci immediately took the dim sum, took a bite of a petal of lotus dim sum, it was crispy and refreshing, his eyes lit up, the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile was very cute.

"Do you like to eat?" Chu Mingxuan looked at her, and his tone softened.

Chu Ci nodded, ate his snacks, and spoke a little sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Mingxuan"

Such an ordinary and casual title made Chu Mingxuan's breath suffocated, and his heart trembled slightly, as if he really had a younger sister, watching her eat dim sum with both hands little by little, eating all the crumbs that fell on her fingertips, and subconsciously said, "I still have a pack of dim sum, do you want to eat it?" ”

For Chu Ci, who has been in ancient times for six years and only has hard candy and berries in his mouth, it is really difficult to refuse the temptation, confusion, and heartbeat, looking at him, shaking his head, "I can't take such a valuable thing from my brother"

The more Chu Ci didn't want it, the more Chu Mingxuan wanted to give it to her, if it weren't for the dim sum bag being a bit big, he would have wanted to give it to her now, the young man couldn't wipe his face because of the meager self-esteem in his heart, and he looked quite cold on the surface, "I don't like to eat this kind of dim snack, if you don't want it, I'll throw it away"

Seeing him say this, Chu Ci agreed with his subordinates, Zhen'er Zhen Zhen stuffed the dim sum bag into the small package she carried, looked at him with a pair of clear and bright eyes, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, and her chubby little finger grabbed the sleeve of the little brother, "Brother, thank you"

Chu Mingxuan pressed it for a long time, and he didn't press down the corners of his lips, his side face was cold and handsome, but at the moment he was a little contradictory, Chu Ci smiled secretly, what a proud little boy.

didn't see that when she lowered her head, the roots of the young man's ears were slightly red.
