Looking at each other, Xu Wenlan raised her eyebrows, seeing that her brother was still glaring at her, she couldn't help but squint, and was about to speak, but Bai Shengwen, who was in front, had already taken a step back, blocking between her and her brother.

"Sister......" called out with a smile, Bai Shengwen had a good temper, and took his younger brother to glance at him, he was still laughing.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he took his brother without saying a word, hugged the dog and turned around and went back to the west wing.

This attitude—

Xu Wenlan snorted unbearably.

Growing up in an orphanage, he was not protected and pampered, and he rolled in the society for many years, and he also relied on his own hands and mouth, Xu Wenlan did not bow his head, but he was not affected by ordinary anger.

Whether it's a classmate or a colleague, if you endure it again and again, people won't think you're kind, they will only bully you even harder, just like this brother.

Seeing that Xu Wenlan was unhappy, Bai Shengwen touched her with a smile: "Let Shengwu help you get ......"

"No!" Xu Wenlan glared at him with her eyes and thought: If your temper is too lively, you will wait to be bullied!

Bai Shengwen was not annoyed, but just leaned closer and whispered: "My sister's temper - actually, she has a good heart......"

Hah-

Xu Wenlan rolled her eyelids and crossed Bai Shengwen into the stove room.

The main house says it is four rooms, but it is actually four and a half rooms. Four living rooms, plus half a stove room.

As soon as I entered the stove room, I first saw two stoves facing the door, sitting side by side, two large iron pots, one with the lid uncovered, steaming.

To the left of the stove is a tall cabinet with pots and pans and a small basket for chopsticks. When I got closer, there were five or six small jars under the cabinet that reached the crook of the adult's legs, sealed and pressed against stones, probably pickle jars.

Originally, Xu Wenlan wanted to open the cabinet and put the vegetable basin in, but when she swept it away, there was still a small copper lock on the cabinet door.

"Put it up." Bai Shengwen hurriedly said something, and whispered again: "The sugar in the cabinet is something, the milk is afraid of attracting rats......"

The corners of her mouth curled, and Xu Wenlan turned her head to stare at Bai Shengwen.

Also a mouse? How nice this is to say, I'm afraid that this lock is not an anti-mouse, but a person-proof, right?

Being stared at by Xu Wenlan, Bai Shengwen turned his head, and his face was a little red.

Xu Wenlan pursed her lips, stopped looking at Bai Shengwen, and turned her head to stare at the big water tank on the side.

The two big water tanks are almost as tall as she is now, and with the lid covered, she can't see the inside clearly, Xu Wenlan tiptoes to look inside.

Bai Shengwen was clever, and when he saw Xu Wenlan, he went over and lifted the lid, and reached out to scoop half a scoop of water from it: "Want to drink water?" ”

Shaking his head, Xu Wenlan only stared at the scoop: "This, gourd scoop?" ”

Bai Shengwen nodded, and he didn't know what Xu Wenlan was excited about.

In modern times, not to mention scoops, even water tanks are rare, that is, there are water tanks in rural areas, and most of them are plastic scoops, where is there a gourd scoop? Most of the gourds have been made into handicrafts and hung on the wall.

Raising his head, a basket fell from the beam against the wall, and I don't know what was in it.

Turning his eyes again, there are five large vats along the root of the wall on the right, four of which are not covered, they are pressed with large stones, and there is a sour smell, and you don't need to go over to look at it carefully, you know that it is pickled sauerkraut.

There was another big vat with a sealed mouth, Xu Wenlan's eyes swept away, and Bai Shengwen said: "Sauce jar." Turn around and ask your mother to fry egg sauce for you to eat. ”

Xu Wenlan nodded, and then looked at the stove next to the mouth on the right. It's still on fire, and I don't know what it's still simmering.

Bai Shengwen smiled and didn't introduce it.

It happened that Bai Shengwu drilled into the stove room, looked at Xu Wenlan, and beckoned with a smile: "Come here." ”

"Shengwu ......," Bai Shengwen scolded.

Xu Wenlan had already walked over.

Seeing her approaching, Bai Shengwu lifted the wooden lid of the pot, and an indescribable hot breath came to his face, Xu Wenlan covered his nose and subconsciously took two steps back.

What is this?!

There is a smell of vegetables, the smell of cornmeal, and something, anyway, this smell is too mixed, and it smells really bad.

Seeing her like that, Bai Shengwu laughed, threw away the cover in his hand, and pointed at Xu Wenlan: "Fool, I haven't even seen pig food!" ”

"Shengwu-" Bai Shengwen yelled, Bai Shengwu turned around and ran, still laughing outside the house.

Bear kids! I won't beat you one day!

Xu Wenlan was ruthless in her heart, touched her nose, and still felt disgusting.

Bai Cao'er in front of the stove turned her head and kept looking, I don't know if she was teased by Bai Shengwu, or Xu Wenlan's expression was too interesting, and at this time, she also laughed out loud, but just after laughing, she covered her mouth.

Wang turned his head and glanced at her with disgust, and then talked to Zhu with a smile: "Wen Lan, this child, at first glance, is from a big family, and he can say something that we don't understand. Not to mention this, I think this kid has a really good heart - sister-in-law, you are going to be blessed this time. ”

Zhu pursed his lips and smiled, glanced back at Xu Wenlan, and smiled a little more: "Wenlan, this kid, is really good......

Coincidentally, Xu Wenlan turned around and answered with a smile: "That's because you like me, so you think I'm ...... everywhere" After a pause, Xu Wenlan opened her mouth, but she still hung her head embarrassedly.

Although I think that the Zhu family is good and wants to stay in the Bai family, this "mother" is not so easy to speak.

Fortunately, Zhu didn't pay attention to it, just looked at her with a smile, and raised his hand to brush the broken hair on her head: "It's also you who are so good, I like you." ”

What a beautiful thing to say! Xu Wenlan smiled and squinted, and pulled her sleeves: "I'll wash it, you can take a rest - wash - ah, I mean I wash ......" This Qing Dynasty has no washing spirit!"

The water in the pot should have been poured into the pot after the stew was finished, and it was still slightly shiny when scooped into the wooden basin. Although it is not too oily compared to later generations, how can it be washed off like this?

Xu Wenlan looked over and saw Bai Cao'er sprinkling some white powder into the water.

"What is this?" Xu Wenlan was curious.

Bai Cao'er smiled, although she didn't speak, she raised the paper bag in her hand in front of Xu Wenlan.

Xu Wenlan took a little finger and put it into his mouth.

It's so astringent - ah, it's alkaline noodles, right?

"Is this alkali? Take it to wash the dishes? ”

Zhu Shi nodded, and looked at her with a smile: "This soda is the best to use to wash dishes, I heard that it was shipped from Mongolia, one ingot after another, bigger than silver, we are now knocking down and grinding from the ingot alkali." ”

It's right to wash the dishes with alkali, it's slippery, but this alkali -

Xu Wenlan frowned: "How much is this burning?" Hand—" Xu Wenlan almost bit her tongue. Where are there rubber gloves these days?

After swallowing the second half of the words, she moved to the right position and squeezed Zhu's: "I'll wash ......"

Zhu grabbed her hand: "Go out and play!" I don't need your help. ”

Wang was also busy helping: "That is, Wen Lan's hands are as tender as tofu, but he doesn't dare to do more rough work - grass......"

Bai Cao'er answered and started washing the dishes.

Xu Wenlan only felt that her face was burning in a panic, and she wanted to get started, but she was directly pushed out by the Zhu family.
