"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at her in amazement.

Although Lin Xiaozhu has always been the focus of everyone's attention, he has always had a sweet smile on his face. But she is still calm and quiet a lot. If no one takes the initiative to talk to her, she always stays quietly in a corner, listening to everyone chatting and talking, or quietly thinking about her thoughts in front of the trees and the sky. I didn't expect there to be such a time when emotions were exposed and joy was revealed.

"Is it a problem with horse teaching, you have figured it out?" It is still Su Xiaoshu who knows her best. Although Lin Xiaozhu came back and hadn't told her about tonight's dinner, she still guessed with Lin Xiaozhu's expression.

"What is it? What is it? Let's hear it. Under the propaganda of Wu Caiyun's caring person, everyone knows that Lin Xiaozhu was embarrassed by Ma Jiao in the cooking class. Seeing this at this time, I couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lin Xiaozhu stuck out his tongue and pretended to be pitiful to everyone as if begging for mercy: "I have a little idea, and I don't know if it's right." If it's not right, wouldn't it be a shame to shout that you know everywhere? Don't ask, okay? ”

Everyone laughed when they saw her cute face. Someone couldn't help but twist her face and said, "If you don't ask, don't ask." But you have to tell me, why did you sign up for a cooking class? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was very curious. In their opinion, Class 3 is the best and most suitable for girls. Zhou Jiaoxi was so fond of Lin Xiaozhu that he took the initiative to recruit her in. But Lin Xiaozhu categorically refused without thinking about it. This makes everyone very confused.

"Because I like to eat." Lin Xiaozhu smiled and perfunctory a few words to everyone, and quickly excused herself to take a bath and get rid of everyone's interrogation of her.

There are some things that you can just understand. There's no need to take it out and tell others. She didn't get to that point, and she didn't know whether her choice was right or wrong, so why bother influencing others? Besides, although these girls have a friendship with her, they are far from the point where she will tear down Yuan Tianye's platform and oppose Yuan Tianye for them. She Lin Xiaozhu herself is still stuck in the mud, where does she still have the strength to pull others? How much ability and how much to do has always been her principle in life.

It's time to get the bath water outside the bath. Lin Xiaozhu suddenly remembered that tonight, Yuan Tianye didn't ask her to carry water for those water tanks!

Wouldn't it be because she was admitted to the cooking class, so she won't have to carry water in the future, right?

As soon as this idea came out, Lin Xiaozhu was not happy but worried. Exam in a month. That's the real thing. In the time of a pillar of incense, the pot is filled with multiple layers of sand; How many times to turn the spoon and how high to turn it; The sand that comes out can't be more than much. There are certain regulations. Only when this requirement is met can you pass the exam. And she's still far, far from that goal. It's almost impossible to achieve it easily in a month. So. The matter of carrying water, even if Yuan Tianye does not ask her. She couldn't give up either.

Thinking of this, she no longer rushed to take a bath, but picked up water by the well. When no one was around, the water was lifted and released; When there are people, she takes the initiative to help carry water. I kept mentioning that there were a few more barrels than before, and then I stopped.

Because of long-term exercise, she no longer has the feeling of soreness after lifting water, and her clothes no longer have to be washed by Su Xiaoshu. After taking a shower, I washed my clothes, went back to the dormitory, and listened patiently to everyone's chat. Only then did she begin to practice the exercises that the old man had taught her. Fortunately, you don't need to meditate in this exercise, you can lie down. Otherwise, there are so many people living in one dormitory, if others haven't slept for a long time. Or sleep for a while and wake up to see her sitting alone in the dark. You have to scream in a fuss!

His mind was on the dantian, breathing according to the method taught by the old man, although there was no reaction and feeling in his body, Lin Xiaozhu still did not give up, and insisted on practicing for about an hour, and then he relaxed and fell asleep.

The next day, everyone got up early to practice as usual, and Lin Xiaozhu cleaned the yard and rinsed the bath room as usual. After breakfast, I went to the cooking class for the first time in the cooking class.

This subject is the easiest for Lin Xiaozhu. There are many ingredients, some of which she knew in her previous life, and what Old Man Xue told her. In addition, her memory is very good, and Yu Jiaoxi can remember it once she says it, so it is very easy to learn.

"Lin Xiaozhu, what are you going to do?" After class, seeing Yu Jiaoxi's figure disappearing outside the courtyard gate, Xia Shan, who had always been taciturn, turned to Lin Xiaozhu worriedly.

Lin Xiaozhu raised his eyes and looked at him and asked, "What do you think I should do?" She wondered how the silent teenager would persuade her.

"Ma Jiaoxi asked you to cut meat, it shouldn't be deliberately embarrassing you, maybe there is some deep meaning. You'll have to figure out the problem of cutting meat. Xia Shan frowned.

"Huh!" Lin Xiaozhu's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't expect Xia Shan to be so smart and get to the point at once. It seems that there are a lot of smart people!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. She has more than 20 years of life experience, hundreds of thousands of years of knowledge and experience than Xia Shan, and she is more intelligent, but she can only see the essence of things clearly under the advice of Yu Jiaoxi and Yuan Tianye. It seems that the original kind of arrogant, complacent, and self-righteous thinking is really unacceptable! No wonder, Ma Jiao Xi would want to hit her hard.

"I didn't think about cutting meat last night. Why don't you avoid a class and wait until you think it clearly before you do your homework? Xia Shan said again.

Lin Xiaozhu laughed: "No need. After a while, I apologized to Ma Jiaoxi, and I also thought about some of the problem of cutting meat, so I don't know if it's right or not. ”

"Got it?" As soon as Xia Shan heard this, his frowns furrowed, and he laughed, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, which stunned Lin Xiaozhu. Xia Shan has clear facial features, and when he smiles like this, it is like the sky washed by rain in autumn, unusually clean and unusually translucent.

"Ah, Brother Xia Shan, you have to smile like this in the future." She quickly came to her senses and teased with a grin. Today's Xia Shan not only said a lot of words for the first time, but his always expressionless face even bloomed with such a good-looking smile, all because he cared about her, Lin Xiaozhu's heart was warm.

Xia Shan turned his face awkwardly, his face red all the way to the base of his ears.

Yang Yu glanced at Xia Shan lazily, turned his face to Lin Xiaozhu and said, "It would be nice if I was like you, I was kicked out by Ma Jiaoxi without being punished at all." ”

Lin Xiaozhu's heart froze, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

Although she doesn't admit it, there is always an objective thing about contradicting the teachings. Yuan Tianye, who has always been the most important and insists on rewarding her and punishing her if she is wrong, didn't even say a word of reproach to her, this phenomenon is too abnormal. There were too many things in one day yesterday, and she was very happy that she was not punished, and she relaxed her mind and did not think about this problem.

After Yang Yu's reminder, a wave of uneasiness surged in her heart. I always feel that Yuan Tianye's handling of this matter is strange.

But before she could sort out her thoughts, Zhou Yuchun hurriedly ran in from outside and said, "Lin Xiaozhu, Ma Jiaoxi is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Jiaoxi walked in, as if he didn't see Lin Xiaozhu and the others standing in the yard, and went directly into the kitchen.

"Go." Su Xiaoshu pushed Lin Xiaozhu. Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly put aside the question, followed quickly, and knelt down straight before Ma Jiaoxi opened his mouth to announce the class, and then kowtowed heavily, and said loudly: "Ma Jiaoxi, Xiaozhu was wrong yesterday, you shouldn't misunderstand Ma Jiaoxi's heart of teaching, self-righteousness, no words, and ask Ma Jiaoxi for forgiveness." This mistake will never be made again. ”

It's not that she wants to be a kowtow worm, but in fact, the kowtow of this era is a more solemn etiquette than a modern handshake. It is necessary to show respect or confession. Follow the local customs, and you have to abide by what you should observe.

Ma Jiaoxi stretched his face and looked coldly at Lin Xiaozhu who was kneeling on the ground, and was silent for a long time. Lin Xiaozhu already knew his intentions at this time, and he also knew that he had contradicted him yesterday, which greatly damaged his prestige. If this is not the case, there can be no more prestige. So she knelt on the ground, motionless, honestly afraid, and not half dissatisfied in her heart.

The air grew heavier. The kitchen was so quiet that even a pin could be heard.

Xia Shan was in a hurry and was about to kneel down to plead, but Su Xiaoshu pulled his sleeve and shook his head gently. This is what Lin Xiaozhu told in advance, no matter what, don't make a pleading.

After a long time, Ma Jiaoxi opened his mouth, his voice was still cold, without a trace of temperature: "I am a villain with a narrow belly and a coercion for personal gain, where can I afford your apology?" Get up and get out! When he finished speaking, he turned around.

"Xiaozhu already knows that Ma Jiaoxi took the test for Xiaozhu, not to embarrass Lin Xiaozhu, but to let Xiaozhu know, don't be self-righteous, don't think you know everything......" Lin Xiaozhu knew that he wanted him to speak in public, so he sincerely admitted his mistake, and then said, "Jiao Xi said, only by understanding how the meat is cut, Xiaozhu can learn knife skills." Xiaozhu has a little gain now, I don't know if it's right or not, and I ask Xi to judge. ”

Although Ma Jiaoxi turned his back to her, he did not go out or give a lecture immediately. When she had finished speaking, she took a piece of meat from the hanging basket on the wall and threw it on the cutting board next to it. Although she still didn't say a word, the meaning of that was most clear was to let her cut the meat.

Lin Xiaozhu kowtowed again, got up from the ground, scooped water and cleaned his hands, then walked to the board, lifted the knife, but was not in a hurry, but turned his head and asked Ma Jiaoxi: "I don't know what Jiaoxi wants to do with this piece of meat?" (To be continued)
