Chapter 82: Eyes (Happy New Year's Day)



"Tang Lingzi, I found it, it's inconvenient to be blind in the black light, put this bowl of dumplings in a place out of reach of mice, hide it first, and wait for tomorrow when it dawns, you will brush the pot and wash the dishes and heat it again."

Yang Ruoqing said, her eyes lit up when she looked at a small wooden barrel with a lid over there.

Luo Fengtang also saw the wooden barrel and said, "Then put it in this wooden barrel, this is used to hold rice, and mice can't get in!" ”

"Howler!" Yang Ruoqing responded, and took out the bowl of dumplings from the basket sideways.

Luo Fengtang bent down and just lifted the lid of the barrel.

Two mice swooped out of it, it wasn't Yang Ruoqing who let it go fast, one of the mice was about to rush into the dumpling bowl in her hand!

"Oh mom, it's dangerous!"

Yang Ruoqing breathed a sigh.

Luo Fengtang blushed, picked up the barrel and took a look, there was a hole underneath!

"I just said that this rice was eaten so quickly, it turned out that a rat had bitten a hole!" He muffled.

The rat grinds its teeth, and the base of this wood pain is not very thick, but I didn't expect it to be burrowed by the rat so quickly.

"Fat girl, I'm sorry, I scared you."

He stood in front of her like a child who had done something wrong, his head hanging and his hands not knowing where to put them.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head and handed him the basket in her hand: "Help me get it." ”

Luo Fengtang instinctively reached out and took it, and then saw Yang Ruoqing roll up her sleeves, walked to the stove, grabbed a handful of dry pine hair, and scratched it with a flint.

The lit pine hair was stuffed into the stove, and she grabbed another handful of firewood and threw it in, so that the fire was hot.

"Fat girl, what are you doing here?" Luo Fengtang asked.

Yang Ruoqing buried her head in adding firewood to the stove, and said without raising her head when she heard the words: "Boil hot water, brush the pot and wash the dishes." ”

Used dishes and chopsticks soaked in water for a long time are easy to breed all kinds of bacteria.

Luo Fengtang came back to his senses, hurriedly ran to the stove, and squatted down beside Yang Ruoqing: "How can I ask you to do this?" I'm coming, I'm coming! ”

The small stove was more and more crowded because of his sudden arrival.

"This is the work of the woman's family, what you are doing is not good, let me come, it will be good for a while!" Yang Ruoqing said.

"There is no distinction between men and women, fat girl, I'll come, you can rest and catch your breath." Luo Fengtang said.

Seeing his insistent look, Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Cheng, then you help me stuff firewood, I'll wash the dishes, we are men and women, and we won't be tired of working!" ”

"Hmm!"

Luo Fengtang nodded and squatted to the stove.

Yang Ruoqing had already stood up, came to the pot table, and began to clean up this mess......

The firewood at the stove crackled, and the firelight jumped, reflected in the boy's dark eyes.

While he buried his head in firewood, he occasionally sneaked a few glances at the pot.

The girl was washing and scrubbing, rubbing and wiping.

She first carefully wiped the dusty cupboard, and then divided the dishes and chopsticks in the pot into several batches, one by one.

After washing, stack the bowls together, scoop out the dirty water from the pot and pour it into the swill bucket next to it, then lean over and scoop the clean cold water from the water tank into the pot, cover the pot and burn.

Taking advantage of the heat of the water, she swept the rice grains and wild vegetable residues on the pot table into the swill bucket next to her.

Then he picked up a big broom and swept the floor of the stove, and swept the dirty things into the dustpan.

The boy's eyes kept following the girl's figure, and in the dimly lit small stove room, the girl's figure was not slender, and even a little bloated.

However, when she got to work, she was surprisingly sharp.

Two braids dragged behind her, and as she bent over, the braids hung down to her chest, jumping and jumping, reflecting the preoccupied face.

Luo Fengtang looked at it, his face turned red, and his cheeks were hot for a while.

This fat girl is really attractive, the more you look at it, the better it looks!

Why didn't you find out before? What did you do in the past?

Luo Fengtang fell into confusion.

"What are you looking at me doing? I don't have any flowers on my face, hurry up and add firewood! ”

Yang Ruoqing turned around and found that the kid was staring straight at herself, and she couldn't help but glance at him.

"Hmm!"

Luo Fengtang responded in a muffled voice, quickly staggered his gaze, grabbed a handful of firewood and stuffed it into the stove, looking panicked as if he had been caught as a thief.

Soon, the water in the pot was boiling and steaming.

Yang Ruoqing felt the temperature of the water, put the dishes and chopsticks that had been washed once into hot water to cook, and used high temperature disinfection to sterilize.

While doing this, she didn't forget to teach Luo Fengtang: "It's best not to stay overnight with dishes and chopsticks, all of them are pressed in the pot, and you always attract mice...... The weeds stuck to the bowl can't be picked off......"

Luo Fengtang stood up, stood by the pot with his head down, listened and watched very carefully.

"Before eating, it is best to scald the dishes and chopsticks with hot water, and the disease will enter the ...... from the mouth."

"Hmm." Luo Fengtang nodded.

"Alright, this time is in a hurry, so I can only clean it up like this. If I'm free another day, I'll come back and help you pick it up! ”

Yang Ruoqing put the last bowl into the cupboard, put down her sleeves, turned around, and looked like she was done.

"Come, put the dumpling bowl in the pot, make sure the rats can't come in!"

Yang Ruoqing sat the dumpling bowl at the bottom of the pot, covered it with another bowl, and then covered the pot with a lid.

Luo Fengtang's eyes looked around, and he didn't know this place anymore.

On the pot table, it was clean, in the cupboard, the dishes and chopsticks were placed neatly and orderly, and the floor was also cleaned.

"Fat girl, you are really good! I'm not used to this stove room. Luo Fengtang scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.

Yang Ruoqing covered the lid of the pot, turned around when she heard the words, glanced at Luo Fengtang, and sneered.

"Hey, the mud doesn't make it up to the wall. Well, I should go too, and you should rest early. ”

Picking up the empty basket, Yang Ruoqing walked towards the door of the stove room.

"I'll send you!" Luo Fengtang said.

"No need, a villager, you can find your way back with your eyes closed." Yang Ruoqing waved her hand at him without looking back.

Walking out of the courtyard of the old Luo family, Yang Ruoqing turned her head and asked Luo Fengtang who was following behind, "Why did you come out?" I said I don't need to send it. ”

"It's dark, you're a girl doll walking at night, it's not good." He said.

Yang Ruoqing hooked her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, it's okay, you go back and do yours." ”

"Hmm." Luo Fengtang responded sullenly, and stood still in place.

Yang Ruoqing walked forward for a short while, and her intuition told her that the kid behind her still followed.

She turned her head, and there was no one behind her.

She walked again, and the feeling of being followed came out again.

Hey, this kid is like a goose, this temperament is really not ordinary stubbornness!

said that there was no need to send it, but it was necessary to send it alive or dead, and sent it secretly.

That's it, then let him send it!

In this way, the feeling of being followed did not disappear until Yang Ruoqing turned into the small alley next to her and pushed open the small side door of her house.
