After clanging in the kitchen for a while, he came out with a bowl of things, and said to Xiao Zixuan, who was still standing in the yard: "Hurry up and bring it to your eldest brother, let him drink it while it's hot and sweat." ”

It's still May, and although it's summer, I jump into the river early in the morning, and I still squat by the river to wash my clothes.

Xiao Zixuan hurriedly said yes, and entered Xiao Yu's room with the bowl.

Xiao Yu had just changed his clothes and walked back and forth a few times before his body began to warm up. Just as he was sitting down to read a book, Xiao Zixuan came in: "Big brother, sister-in-law boiled brown sugar water for you, let you drink it while it's hot." ”

A large bowl of brown sugar water was placed on the table, along with chopped ginger on top.

Xiao Yu's heart warmed, and his face did not move: "You woke up your sister-in-law?" ”

"No, it was my sister-in-law who got up by herself, and then asked you if there was something wrong, and I told her what happened by the river." Xiao Zixuan said matter-of-factly.

Xiao Yu frowned: "She...... Did you say anything? ”

Xiao Zixuan shook his head: "No, my sister-in-law heard that you were soaking wet, so she immediately went to the kitchen to cook ginger brown sugar water, and told you to drink it while it was hot and sweat." Sister-in-law, she's worried about you! ”

Xiao Zixuan said seriously.

It was the first time he saw his sister-in-law's solemn expression, obviously worried about his eldest brother.

Xiao Yu's brows stretched, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes looked like a painting.

"Zixuan......" Xie Yuluo's voice came from outside again.

Xiao Zixuan hurriedly ran out, and saw Xie Yuluo coming over with a basin of hot water, which was the basin usually used for foot soaking. There was more than half a basin of water in it, and two or three slices of ginger floating on it.

"You bring it to your eldest brother and let him soak his feet." Xie Yuluo admonished.

Xiao Zixuan sighed and went in with a wooden basin.

"Big brother, sister-in-law asked you to soak your feet." Xiao Zixuan passed Xie Yuluo's words again.

The wooden basin was placed under the desk, so that it was convenient, and it could soak your feet without delaying reading, so Xiao Zixuan sent it in and went out.

Xiao Yu took off his shoes and socks and put his feet in the hot water.

The water was a little hot, Xiao Yu raised his feet again, put it on the edge of the basin on the side, and put it in after a while.

The ginger brown sugar water on the table exuded bursts of heat, as well as the smell of ginger and brown sugar, Xiao Yu picked up the big bowl, and the hot bowl conveyed warmth from the palm of his hand to him, and the whole person was warm.

While it was hot, Xiao Yu took small sips of ginger brown sugar water.

Xiao Yu didn't like to eat sweet, but his mouth was full of sweetness, Xiao Yu felt for the first time that this sweet and delicious food was very good, and people were like soaking in sugar.

From the outside to the inside, it's all sweet and warm.

After drinking the brown sugar water while it was hot, Xiao Yu put his feet into the wooden basin, the water was already cold, not hot, he soaked his feet, and remembered what Xie Yuluo's grandfather had said before.

He said that Xie Yuluo is a person who can't take care of people, but now, he is wet, and she is brown sugar water and soaks her feet to make him sweat, is this called not taking care of people?

It's obviously taking care of people too well.

Xie Yuluo took the time to catch up on sleep in the morning, and now she is naturally alive again. Because it was still early and there was no need to make lunch now, Xie Yuluo was fine, and went back to her room to sort out the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" she had written.

The next volume of "Journey to the West" has been written, and I haven't had time to send it to the town, seeing that it's late May, and it's going to be sent over these days.

After sorting out the manuscript, Xie Yuluo carefully locked it in the cabinet. Xiao Zixuan wrote two pages and gave Xiao Yu to check.

"Big brother, how about you look at what I wrote?"

Xiao Yu read it and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I will continue to write seriously." ”

Xiao Zixuan smiled and nodded: "Well, I will write it seriously." ”

After writing two pages and getting a compliment, Xiao Zixuan went to clean up his desktop and planned to go out, he couldn't stay here all the time and disturb his eldest brother reading.

"During the days when the eldest brother is away, do you and Ah Meng also have to write every day?" Xiao Yu asked.

Xiao Zixuan nodded while packing up his things: "Yes, my sister-in-law is very strict with me, she asks me to write two pages every day, if I don't write well, she will discipline me." ”

At the beginning, I was always scolded, but after I wrote well, I was scolded less, and then I was always praised.

"How does she teach you?" Xiao Yu asked curiously, Xie Yuluo herself is illiterate, how did she teach her two children, can she see where the writing is not good?

Xiao Zixuan said triumphantly: "Big brother, don't underestimate your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law's handwriting is much better than yours." ”

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Zixuan seriously, his eyes full of doubts.

It was obvious that he was suspicious of what he had just said.

Xiao Zixuan realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, I still have some business, I'm going to help my sister-in-law prepare lunch, I won't disturb you reading." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Yu to leave him, he ran away, just like a ghost chasing after him.

The words written by my sister-in-law are much better than those you write!

Xiao Yu was sure that he heard correctly, Xiao Zixuan said this.

Can Xie Yuluo write?

Moreover, it looks better than the words you wrote?

Xiao Zixuan can't lie, and there is no need to say big things like this, he must have really read what Xie Yuluo wrote, so he will say such things with certainty.

But Xie Yuluo is illiterate, and she doesn't know a few words in Douda, how can she write!

Doubts are like vines that sprout in the bottom of my heart, growing longer and longer.

I don't know how long he thought about it, anyway, he didn't read a few words, and he didn't even remember when the water under his feet was cold.

Xie Yuluo put away the dried honeysuckle, put it in the jar, mashed it to take the flower juice, washed and boiled the pig pancreas, added some soap, mixed the smashed flower juice, and then quietly waited for them to solidify. Seeing that the time was almost up, Xie Yuluo began to prepare lunch, brushed the rice under the pot to cook rice, and Xiao Zixuan was responsible for lighting the fire.

Yesterday's watermelon skin was not eaten yet, Xie Yuluo took it off, cut off the melon skin and red flesh with a knife, washed it after cutting, cut it into thin slices, and salted it to make water. Two fish were fished, and the scales were scraped to remove the internal organs. Thinly smeared with a layer of salt and marinated.

Beat three eggs to make hometown egg soup, and picked a plate of chili peppers in the backyard to make tiger skin green peppers to eat.

Xiao Zimeng woke up and snuggled in Xiao Zixuan's arms in a daze, and the little face of the fire in the stove was flushed.

After two quarters of an hour, three dishes and one soup are ready.

Braised fish, watermelon skin, tiger skin green pepper, hometown egg soup, all the color, flavor and flavor, just smelling the saliva will flow three feet long.

"Call your eldest brother to dinner." Xie Yuluo set up the dishes and chopsticks and said.

Xiao Zimeng and Xiao Zixuan both ran away, and after a while, Xiao Yu came over.

I don't know what the three brothers said, they laughed all the way, Xie Yuluo added a bowl of soup for each of them, and when she heard footsteps and laughter, Xie Yuluo raised her head and looked at them.

Xiao Yu walked in with a smile and met Xie Yuluo's gaze.

Usually the eyes of the two meet, either Xiao Yu takes the initiative to avoid it, or Xie Yuluo avoids it, this time, no one takes the initiative.

Xiao Yu didn't avoid it, and Xie Yuluo forgot to avoid it.
