Chapter 139: A Temporary Quiet Life

Carefully took three ginseng whiskers, finely chopped them and put them into the porridge that was boiling over a slow fire in front of him, and adjusted the size of the fire.

I quickly took out the handkerchief from the basin and began to wipe the furniture in the house for the third time today.

"Xinglin has a habit of cleanliness, and everything in the house can't have a trace of dust or a little mark, otherwise it will affect her mood."

This is what Aunt Shen Liu's request made to me, and I did it meticulously, even after sweeping the floor twice and dragging it twice, I knelt down to wipe it myself.

At this time, it was morning, and it was not strange that it was cloudy in winter, and I rubbed my somewhat sore waist, hoping that a sunny day would make me feel more cheerful.

But I didn't dare to delay for too long, such as tidying up the house and making Shen Xinglin's private breakfast, these things were very time-consuming.

Shen Xinglin is very picky, there is something wrong with breakfast, and he will ask me to redo it.

Aunt Shen Liu, who came to inspect the house, was even more harsh, and there must not be a trace of dust in the corners, otherwise she would have to do it again according to her requirements, on the grounds that everyone was moving around the house, so naturally there were more marks, so they should be cleaned together.

For this reason, I missed several times to go to the cafeteria for lunch and had to wait hungry for dinner.

But there are things that need to be busy in the afternoon and evening, such as washing Shen Xinglin's clothes, tidying up her garden, preparing picky afternoon tea for her, desserts, and occasionally supper fruits, etc., the worst time, I didn't eat all day.

Quan dang lost weight, I told myself like this, maybe after Shen Jingyun came back, he would think I was more beautiful when he saw that I had lost weight? I can still laugh when I think about it.

Of course, what makes me happiest is that despite all the difficulties and harshness, I still survived, and time is like flowing water, and it has been 27 days in the blink of an eye.

This was the last time I wiped the house, and I finished wiping it carefully, and I was filled with a sense of accomplishment when I looked at the whole room that was so neat that it was a little shiny.

It's still early, but it's 9 o'clock in the morning, but Shen Xinglin usually asks for breakfast at 9:10, I don't dare to have a little rest, so I hurry to the kitchen and continue to boil ginseng porridge for her.

She also has a lot of requests for this porridge. It is necessary not only to boil out the essence of ginseng, but also to add some auxiliary materials appropriately to reconcile the excessive yang fire of ginseng.

I don't have this ability to kill her, but fortunately she has her own recipe. Although there is a recipe, it is also difficult to boil, the slightest mistake can not achieve the effect she wants, a few times she almost spilled the hot porridge on my body, fortunately I dodged quickly.

The porridge was almost ready, steaming hot, and all kinds of side dishes and snacks were ready, so I turned off the heat and began to load them into large trays and put them on the table.

Shen Xinglin had a request, and when she walked to the dining table, the breakfast had to be set in a certain order.

"I don't know if the emperor's daughter has this treatment and can eat such a breakfast?" I often have this question, but how can a most ordinary girl like me imagine the life of a princess? It's just that Shen Xinglin's life has already amazed me.

Breakfast was set, and there were still two minutes to 9:10. At this time, Aunt Shen Liu had already gotten up and was inspecting the house decently, she always had this ability, and within ten minutes of me finishing cleaning, she jumped up and carefully inspected the house I had cleaned, she didn't mind starting to pick on the thorns early in the morning.

My heart is quite calm, at this time, even if she picks a thorn, it will not delay my lunch time, in order to avoid the situation of not eating at noon, I usually get up at 4:30 in the morning to clean.

And this routine, I even miraculously adapted to it, sure enough, people are forced out, not to mention that I don't feel more tired than my previous work.

Aunt Shen Sixth hasn't checked out anything wrong with me so far, but Shen Xinglin has already gotten up over there, and as usual, she can't see any arrogant face, and she sat down at the table without saying a word.

Seeing that Shen Xinglin had already gotten up, Aunt Shen Liu hurriedly ended her inspection and ran to the table to wait for Shen Xinglin.

Shen Xinglin ate her breakfast lightly, and from time to time would hand over a snack or something to Aunt Shen Liu, and then asked, "Is the house cleaned?" ”

"Barely able to pass the eye, Xinglin, we can't be too harsh, we have to ask her according to my cleaning standards. Otherwise, it's not good for others to say that we abuse our companions. "Aunt Shen Sixth has always spoken like this, elevating Shen Xinglin and herself everywhere and belittling me. Just get used to it.

Shen Xinglin didn't answer, just silently ate his breakfast, his face expressionless.

I was a little apprehensive in my heart, I have been getting along with Shen Xinglin for more than 20 days, I can't say that I know much about her, but I also pay more attention to observation on weekdays, I found that when she was expressionless, she usually had a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart, and she was thinking about something.

Obviously, Aunt Shen Liu knows Shen Xinglin better than me, and when she saw Shen Xinglin's appearance, she became more and more careful. Her eyes rolled, it seemed that she wanted to find something wrong with me and make Shen Xinglin angry, but I already understood their routines, how could I make them find fault so easily? Therefore, Aunt Shen Liu had no choice but to sneer, which was quite unwilling.

After a while, Shen Xinglin had already finished breakfast, and I hurriedly stepped forward to carefully pack everything.

According to the rules, I washed the tableware for breakfast, my morning work was almost here, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and I was careful that there were no accidents until now, it was really a rare happiness in the day. And between now and lunchtime, I'll have an hour of my own time, which is very precious.

These trivial details made my heart happy, but at the same time, thinking of Shen Xinglin's gloomy and expressionless face just now, my mood became a little heavy.

Obviously, judging from Aunt Shen Liu's behavior of trying to make trouble for me, Shen Xinglin is already dissatisfied with me being able to spend the past few days "easily", and she must feel that she has not cleaned me up like this. She put on her face like this, which was nothing more than a reminder to Aunt Shen Liu to hurry up and find a way, and it was also a manifestation that her emotions had not been vented.

After cleaning up the kitchen and checking that there were no omissions, I went to say hello to Shen Xinglin and Aunt Shen Liu, and returned to my room.

Whenever this time of the day, Aunt Shen Liu always inevitably sneered, but today, she rarely said anything, just waved me away impatiently. It's just that Shen Xinglin looked at me, and he had unabashedly revealed boredom and an indescribable emotion.

I was relieved that I had fled back to my room.

It's just that when I sit on the chair in the room, my whole body is still a little sore, and I look out the window into the distance, and some farmers are already busy, plowing the paddy fields, plowing out the nutritious soil under the fields, to make some preparations for the early spring sowing of the next year.

Looking at the busy scene outside the window, my mood is a little better.

No matter how cold the winter is, spring will always come, and the days here, no matter how difficult they are, still survive another morning.

I don't understand why Shen Xinglin hates me so much, and wants me to live uneasy here, but there is no point in delving into this, because the intersection with her may be limited to these few months in the village, and there will be no intersection after that, so what she thinks has nothing to do with me at all.

After a little rest and a glass of water, I stood up and moved my sore limbs.

Although the days are hard, the accommodation conditions in this village are not bad, and the room that Shen Xinglin gave me casually is also bright and clean, and the bed is soft, and the door is closed, which can also give me a small rest space.

Feeling less tired, I leaned against the head of the bed, first took out my phone, and looked at it for a while.

On the mobile phone, there is a photo of me and Nanfeng, and a side face of Shen Jingyun that I once quietly photographed, looking at the two of them every day is the greatest comfort to me and the biggest motivation for me to support here.

However, when I think of Nanfeng, I feel a little guilty in my heart, after she came back from Thailand, she immediately looked for me, but I have already come to this village. I didn't tell her the real situation I was here, I just told her that what I was experiencing now had become complicated, and Shen Jingyun had no choice but to find an absolutely safe place for me to hide from first, while he went to deal with some dangerous things.

Nanfeng naturally wanted to inquire about where I was, but I excused myself on the pretext that this place would involve secrets, and I couldn't say that I pushed it off.

Because I know Nanfeng, I haven't seen me for so long, she must want to see me as soon as possible, if she knows where I am, she will definitely come to see me, and then she finds out that I live like this, according to her temper, I don't know what I will do?

But fortunately, she was very respectful of me, and since I didn't want to say where I was, she followed her habit and didn't ask too many questions, just reminded me to keep in touch at all times, and if I couldn't find anyone on the phone one day, she would be very worried.

Thinking of this, a warm current swelled up in my heart, in this world, I never doubted that Nanfeng's concern for me was fake.

And she, after returning to China for convenient communication, the phone calls every once in a while greatly warmed me at this uncomfortable time.

It's just that... I couldn't contact Shen Jingyun, and since he left, his phone has been in a very strange state of not being in the service area.

I've been worried, but I can't do anything about this situation, I just pray that Shen Jingyun can be safe.

After looking at their photos for a while, I carefully put away my phone.

Then, I took out a cross-stitch from my suitcase and began to embroider it, this cross-stitch was originally a small gift from Nanfeng on my birthday this year, just because I said at that time that the TV at home was broken and the days were boring, so she bought this and let me pass the time.

As a result, it took so long that I didn't have time to touch it, just a gift from the south wind, and I was used to carrying it with me.

Now, it's a good thing for me to pass the time.

I thought that this morning, I should be able to spend this kind of tranquility, but I didn't want to, the door of the hut was pushed open by the people at this time, and when I turned around, it was Aunt Shen Liu's smiling face.
