It was not the first time that Su Jinyao had taken the initiative to kiss him, but every time it made Gu Xuebin ecstatic. The work under his hands is even more swift, and he wishes that Su Jinyao could lie on his lap for a while longer.

Su Jinyao saw that Gu Xuebin's children were waiting for sugar rewards to hurry up and work, and she was amused in her heart, but she couldn't help but like it from the bottom of her heart. Silently helped him and asked him to clean up the duck as soon as possible, Su Jinyao also quickly adjusted the ingredients, smeared the seasoning on the inside and outside of the duck, and then put it aside to wait for marinating.

The longer the marinating time, the better, and if the duck (ròu) is too long, it will not taste good, and it will be very chewy and chewy. This is also the reason why Su Jinyao didn't marinate the duck directly last night.

Everything was ready, it was still early, Su Jinyao lit the fruit wood in the oven, adjusted the heat and slowly warmed the stove.

Gu Xuebin went to find a lot of hay and spread it in the sunny place outside the cave, and then sat down and stretched out his legs, waiting for Su Jinyao to lie down.

When Su Jinyao was ready, she walked over and sat down next to Gu Xuebin's (shēn), lay down obediently, and rested her head on his lap. Then he smiled and asked, "Don't you think I'm too heavy this time?" ”

"Actually, what I said was against my heart, I wish you could eat more and gain more weight." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he smoothed Su Jinyao's hair, and then gently patted her cheek and said, "Okay, don't talk much, you can sleep well." When the time comes, I'll call you. ”

"Hmm. When the sun rises on the top of that tree, you will wake me up. Counting the time of baking, I have to hurry to Xiaozhang Village. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she closed her eyes with peace of mind. Even if she can't sleep, she can't live up to Gu Xuebin's kindness.

Sometimes, two people in phase (ài) not only have to care for each other, but also provide each other with an opportunity to take care of you and care for you. Whether it's a man or a woman, you can't be too strong all the time, and occasionally you can show weakness by saying a little weakness, which is also a good opportunity for the other party to protect (yù).

However, Su Jinyao didn't expect that she really fell asleep on Gu Xuebin's legs. The weather is getting warmer, and the morning sun is just (rè) on the morning sun, not to mention how comfortable.

Until Gu Xuebin gently twisted Su Jinyao's earlobe and kissed her on the cheek, trying to wake her up.

Su Jinyao opened her slightly worried eyes, and the morning light shone from the top of the mountain on one side, shrouding Gu Xuebin Zhou (shēn) in a halo, with a soft and beautiful face and full of doting, which made Su Jinyao feel the beauty of "opening your eyes and seeing you and the sunshine".

"I slept as heavy as a piglet, but I didn't snore, I just drooled." Gu Xuebin scraped Su Jinyao's face, and it turned out to be a shame on her.

Su Jinyao was stunned, and her face turned red as soon as she "soared". She really didn't know that she would drool when she slew, but pillowing on a pillow is not the same as pillowing his legs, maybe she drools when she presses her cheeks!!

"Huh? It's so easy to deceive. Gu Xuebin suddenly laughed, pinched Su Jinyao's nose and said: "Jinyao, your shy appearance is also good, and your angry appearance is very (jiāo) anger, usually when you speak, you are so gentle, but you are powerful and full of heroics, I really don't know which one you are the real you, or these you are your real appearance, which can make me feel fresh and interesting every time." ”

"So you lied to me." Su Jinyao raised her small pink fist and beat it, and while beating it (shēn), she glared at Gu Xuebin and went to see the fire in the stove.

In fact, it took more than an hour from the time she fell asleep to the time she got up, and the duck began to roast at this time, and it could be baked in about forty minutes. Then she hurried away, she planned to let Zhao Dadong's family in the cyclamen house have a big "surprise".

The fire is at the peak of the charcoal fire, the temperature is high and there is no open flame, so there will be no smoke to blacken the ducks. Su Jinyao went to get the pickled duck, hung it with an iron hook, sent it to the stove, and then covered the lid and sat back.

But knowing that she sat down again, Gu Xuebin still maintained his previous posture and did not move. In fact, when Su Jinyao beat him just now, he didn't move.

Su Jinyao asked him curiously, "What's wrong?" Leg numbness? ”

"Well, it's the same as the pins. Jinyao, you quickly rub it for me. Gu Xuebin's face was pitiful, seeking the same (qíng).

Su Jinyao actually cooperated and reached out and rubbed his leg twice, the force was very gentle, the little hands were very soft, and there was a smile on her face, looking like a little daughter-in-law serving her husband.

The beauty in Gu Xuebin's heart, the beauty is about to bubble. smiled and said, "It's so good to knead." ”

"yes. Hehe, I massaged a few times in the (xué) position, which is more comfortable. Su Jinyao smiled and continued to rub, rubbing the inside of Gu Xuebin's knee, and suddenly pressed hard twice in a certain (xué) position.

Gu Xuebin suddenly felt that the numbness he had just recovered was strong all of a sudden, and his legs were as if he had bitten a few bites from thousands of ants at the same time, which was painful, itchy, numb and weak, and he almost cramped.

"Ahh Gu Xuebin hurriedly begged for mercy, while pinching his knees, calves, and thighs with his hands, trying to relieve the unbearable symptoms of numbness. But he couldn't find the (xué) position, so he pressed it indiscriminately, and as a result, both legs trembled slightly.

"See you're still lying to me and drooling? Look at you, and let me rub your legs. Although Su Jinyao was ruthless, she couldn't bear to really let Gu Xuebin suffer, so she quickly reached out and relieved him of the sour numbness in the (xué) position.

"Whew, the little girl is really powerful, if this (xué) kung fu is combined with internal force, it will be even more powerful." Gu Xuebin breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Su Jinyao to the side of (shēn) with one hand, hugged her and said, "But I asked my uncle, and he said that the internal martial arts we practiced were not suitable for you. Because men are yang and women are (yīn), we practice the internal force of the most rigid to the yang, if we teach you, it is estimated that after you have practiced for a while, you should grow a beard. ”

"Well, I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it after studying medicine. If it's not suitable, maybe I can meet a master and learn a higher level of internal skills. Su Jinyao knew that Gu Xuebin was for her good, so of course she wouldn't be reckless.

Gu Xuebin scratched Su Jinyao's nose, rubbed his legs and said, "Actually, you don't have to practice internal strength, I found that the moves you use now are very special, and you can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and restrain me." And you can climb up and down without doing light work, and that's enough. You don't always want to be a martial arts master, do you? ”

"I'm not a martial arts master." Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "I am inspired to be the richest master." In this sentence, Su Jinyao said with full self-confidence.

"Okay, then I'll help the master to see if the roast duck is cooked, do you need to turn it over?" Gu Xuebin stood up and helped Su Jinyao watch the roast duck.

Su Jinyao told him with a smile: "You have to turn over, but pay attention to your hands, don't burn them anymore, but there is no roe deer oil for you." ”

"How can you be so stupid, you won't get hot every time." Gu Xuebin said, went to lift the lid of the stone and flipped the roast duck, closed the lid and came back to report: "Master master, the color of the duck has changed, and the fragrance has also come out, it is estimated that it will be cooked in one more meal." ”

"Okay, got it. Now let's go find the leaves, and when I come back, I'll pack the ducks as soon as they're ready, and I'll be on my way. Su Jinyao also stood up (shēn), and together with Gu Xuebin, went to find a large number of leaves, washed and braided a few thin straw ropes, and the roast duck was almost cooked.

Gu Xuebin volunteered to take out the duck, and this time the roast was also very good. It is smeared with a honey-like caramel color and exudes a burst of human aroma (yòu).

Su Jinyao hurriedly packed the duck with leaves, and wrapped three layers of leaves in order to keep it as hot and oil-proof as possible. Then he said to Gu Xuebin: "Okay just now, I'll go directly to Dazhang Village to take a ride, and you can go home from here." Can't be disobedient anymore. ”

"Evening ......"

"If you can't answer it, can't you be obedient once?" Su Jinyao glared at Gu Xuebin again. However, after glaring, he came over and hooked his neck, pecked him playfully on the lips, and coaxed: "Okay, go home and rest." I can do it alone. Go early and come back early, if you come back before dark, I will go to the bamboo forest to see you and send you the medicine. ”

"Still don't." Gu Xuebin was full of joy after being kissed, but he shook his head and refused: "You are tired after running for a day, so you don't need to go to see me." Let's just go home and rest. If you're okay tomorrow, come here, I'll be waiting for you here. ”

"Well, okay, I see. Goodbye, I'm gone. Su Jinyao waved her hand, smiled at Gu Xuebin and walked briskly.

She knew that she was reluctant to leave, and Gu Xuebin would not go before her. After the work of the sober (xìng) is done well, it may be too late to go to the bamboo forest to see him when he comes back.

Gu Xuebin watched Su Jinyao's brisk steps leave, her back was slender and exquisite, but she was full of heroic posture. I can't help but look a little stupid.

Su Jinyao went down the mountain and hurried as soon as possible, firstly, it took too much time to roast the duck, and it was later than the usual time to go out; Second, she also wanted to rush to the city as soon as possible, so as not to affect the taste of the roast duck if it was cold.

Su Jinyao also didn't think that if the conditions were allowed, she should really build a big oven in the city, and the taste of the roast duck would definitely be even better than this at that time. But as she said, being a cook is not her goal, these two roast ducks are actually the stepping stones for her to earn her first pot of gold, whether she succeeds or not, it depends on how she does it (cāo).

Su Jinyao's physical strength is much better now, and her steps are not slow. So it was not too late to come to Xiaozhang Village. But when she arrived at the place where she usually sits, she only saw Uncle Wang's carriage, but she didn't see the carriage of the second bolt waiting for her here.

Su Jinyao hurriedly walked over and asked, "Uncle Wang, can't the second bolt wait to leave now?" I agreed with him that I was going to charter a bus to the city today, and I didn't come much later than usual. ”

"No, no, no." Uncle Wang hurriedly shook his head and said, "The second bolt has a leg pain and is resting at home." Yesterday, I asked his daughter-in-law to come and tell me that these guests who were going out would wait for two days, and he would get out of the car when he was better. Girl, if you want to go out of the city, just wait, his leg is old, he can't tell when he will have a seizure, it will hurt for days, and he really can't catch the car. If you sit in the car for a day, your legs can be swollen and shiny, and you will really suffer. ”

Su Jinyao became anxious when she heard this. Her roast duck is ready, and the back (rì) is also arranged, so she can't go back now because there is no car.

Now Su Jinyao feels that it is really inconvenient to have no cars and horses. Even if she had a bicycle, she could ride it to the city. But now I have to walk on two feet until it gets dark.

Su Jinyao had to ask, "Uncle Wang, can I charter your car?" After speaking, Su Jinyao glanced at the two guests in Uncle Wang's car again, and said, "It's okay for me to give some compensation to your guests, I'm really in a hurry to enter the city." ”

Before the two guests could speak, Uncle Wang shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't agree, it's not that the guests don't talk well, it's because I'm not familiar with that road." The two bolts and I were pulling the guests on the side, and we were all familiar with our respective routes. If you make a mistake on the road, it's still a waste of time. ”

"I know the way, can I show you the way?" Su Jinyao has a super good memory, and she will never forget the road she has walked once for several years.

Uncle Wang said: "This road is not familiar, it doesn't mean that you show me the way, tell me whether to go east or west in front." There are potholes on the road, and you should be familiar with the hard soil and rocks in some places. Otherwise, this long-distance run down, and expensive and expensive, may be unfamiliar and trapped in the pit, when the time comes to find someone to lift the car and repair the car, but at night can not come back. ”

Hearing Uncle Wang say this, Su Jinyao knew that he really couldn't pull it, so she had to sigh and feel even more anxious.

After thinking for a while, Su Jinyao asked again: "Then is there anyone else here who has a carriage?" Can I borrow one? ”

"No, just me and the two carriages of the second bolt can pull guests, other people's old horses can pull plows and grinds at most, and then there are ox carts, which are slower." Uncle Wang shook his head and said after speaking, and suddenly said, "Girl, why don't you go to Erzhuo's house to borrow a car." If you can catch a car yourself, borrow a car from him. ”

"That's right. Where do the two bolts live? Su Jinyao asked the location of Erzhuo's house and hurriedly walked towards his house.

The second bolt house is not far from the place where the guests are usually picked up, and it is said that they are walking along the village road, and the third family that turns the corner after thirty steps is it.

Su Jinyao walked in the direction that Uncle Wang told, and as soon as she turned around, she saw a carriage in front of a house. It's the car I was in before. Walking past the fence, you can see this family, and the big black horse (tǐng) spirit is tethered to the stable in the backyard, still chewing grass.

"This is Erzhuo's home, right? I'm here to borrow a carriage. Su Jinyao shouted as she knocked on the door.

"Here we are." A female voice agreed, and then saw a woman come out of the house and asked Su Jinyao, "Where are you?" What are you borrowing a carriage for? ”

Su Jinyao said: "Sister-in-law is good. I'm not from this village, I'm a guest in the previous charter. Today I originally agreed to charter a bus to the city, and I have something urgent. ”

After listening to Su Jinyao, the woman said, "Ah, it's the guest of the chartered car." Come in and talk. I am the daughter-in-law of the second bolt. With that, he walked over and opened the door, and said apologetically: "The second bolt also said that he promised to take you to the city today." But his leg was so swollen that he had been lying down for two days, and he couldn't catch the car. Let's see if we can be accommodating, and we can compensate you a little. ”

Su Jinyao saw that Erzhuo's daughter-in-law was easy to talk and her tone was kind, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'm not here to make amends, I also know that his leg is not good, and he can't be strong." So I want to ask, can you lend me your carriage and I can drive it to the city myself? I have promised the guests over there to discuss business today, and if I don't go, the loss will be too great. ”

The daughter-in-law of the second bolt was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and looked back at the house and said, "Otherwise, you go and ask the second bolt." That big dark horse is his treasure, and I don't count. ”

Su Jinyao knew that the livestock of the farmer's family were the same as the population of the family, and they were all treasures. He nodded and said "thank you" and followed the woman into the house.

The house is clean (tǐng), and it can be seen that Erzhuan and his daughter-in-law are nimble. Two little boys were squatting on the floor of the outhouse, playing with a few wooden boards, which were supposed to be their toys.

The second bolt's daughter-in-law kept leading Su Jinyao to the inner room, and said, "I'm sorry, the house is messy, the house is even more messy, and there is a doll crying on the kang without breaking (nǎi)." Don't be surprised, guest. ”

After speaking, he shouted to the inner room: "Second bolt, the little proprietor who chartered the car is here." ”

"Hey, please come inside." The sound of the second bolt came. His daughter-in-law lifted the curtain and invited Su Jinyao in.

The house is actually clean, that is, the place is small, and the furniture is old. As soon as the big kang is passed, the second bolt sits flat on the kang, and there is a little girl who is less than a year old crawling back and forth on the side (shēn), and the second bolt is probably watching the child.

Seeing Su Jinyao coming, the second bolt hurriedly moved out, and said apologetically: "Dongjia, I'm really sorry, my leg is sick again." Your knees are so swollen that you can't bend them, or I'll send you to the city." ”

Su Jinyao said politely: "Uncle Wang has already told me that you have an old leg disease, but I am really in a hurry to go into the city today, and the business that I have already said last time cannot be delayed today." So I wanted to ask if you could lend me your carriage and I would drive to the city myself. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao hurriedly added: "I'll give you the car money, and it's okay to give more." You also know that there is really no other carriage in your little Zhang village. ”

The second bolt was also embarrassed when he heard this, and said: "Little owner, look at my family, the three children have to eat and drink, and I can't work in the field if my legs are not good, so I rely on my daughter-in-law to be busy." I can only make some money by driving a carriage, and if this carriage breaks, my family's livelihood will be ruined. ”
