There was a sound of rubbing footsteps in the wooden house, it seemed to be the footsteps of a very old man, Gu Qingan was a little nervous for some reason, the footsteps gradually approached the door, Gu Qingan quickly took a few deep breaths.

There was a creak, and the door to the hut opened.

An old woman appeared at the door. The wrinkles on the old woman's face were as deep as ravines, her hair was no longer visible black, her facial skin was wrinkled and drooping, her body was slightly rickety, and she was wearing cloth clothes and shoes from the last century.

Only a pair of eyes, as sharp as a goshawk.

Gu Qing'an was taken aback, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, and after calming down, she bowed slightly to the old woman and said, "Mother-in-law, hello, I ......" Gu Qing'an was about to explain her intention directly, but suddenly paused, thinking that it would be rude for her to directly say that she wanted to borrow something? Just thinking about how to express it euphemistically, first greetings, the old woman glared slightly, and scared Gu Qing'an and said directly: "Mother-in-law, I came to borrow green onions and soy sauce, is it convenient?" Thank you in advance! ”

After speaking, I was annoyed that I was scared and spoke too fast, will my mother-in-law not hear well when she is so old, and I didn't hear clearly behind my ears or something, so I heard an old voice and said slowly: "Come in." ”

Gu Qing'an reflexively complied, followed the old woman into the house, there was no shoe rack or anything like that at the door, and it is estimated that there was no custom of entering the house to change slippers before, or no one usually came at all. The house is surprisingly clean and tidy, and it is very bright. Gu Qing'an was about to take a look, when he heard the voice say again, "Close the door." ”

"Okay, okay." Gu Qing'an replied in seconds, and she didn't know why she was so in awe of this old woman. Gu Qing'an turned around and closed the door, the room was very tidy, there was no peculiar smell, the furniture was very old, almost all wooden, like the orange light of the sunset outside the window shining into the room, there was a warm feeling.

When Gu Qing'an was in a daze, the old woman had already turned a corner and entered the kitchen, and then quickly came out, holding a small bottle of soy sauce and a small handful of green onions in her hand. Gu Qing'an hurriedly greeted him, thanked him repeatedly, and said that he would return it to the old woman when he used it, but the old woman kept looking cold and didn't answer, which was a tacit acquiescence. Before going out, at the end, Gu Qingan still couldn't hold back and asked: "Mother-in-law, don't you live here alone, aren't you lonely?" ”

Seeing that the old woman looked at herself with the sharp eyes of a goshawk who looked at her prey, Gu Qing'an hurriedly threw down a sentence: "Thank you, mother-in-law, I'll go first." He opened the door and ran away.

Gu Qing'an ran back to the place where the tent was set up in one breath, panting and complaining about Su Jingyun, who was looking at the lively smiling face, and said, "This is called a pleasant face? Brother Jingyun, are you lying to me! That mother-in-law is just terrifying! ”

Su Jingyun still smiled and replied, "How can there be." She is 'very preferential' for girls. If the mother-in-law opens the door and sees that it is a boy, she will be directly given a 'knock on the door' discount. ”

Gu Qingan was skeptical: "Really? Why? ”

Su Jingyun explained: "It is said that it is because a few good boys have played tricks on the mother-in-law before, and since then, the mother-in-law has not welcomed boys. ”

Why are you playing tricks on that old woman? She's already pathetic, isn't she? Gu Qing'an didn't ask this, and for the first time, Su Jingtian was extremely quiet and didn't say anything.

Su Jingyun glanced at him and changed the subject: "Oh, I'm so hungry, Xiaotian, up!" My delicious dinner is up to you. It was rare that Su Jingtian didn't refute Su Jingyun, but silently went to find something to make a fire.
