Chapter 142: The Kitchen Encounter

I don't know how to describe the excitement, but if it was at the right time, it would be understandable.

And on such a cold winter day, it always feels a little weird.

It's like letting people celebrate the Spring Festival when it's not the Spring Festival, how can it not make people feel weird?

Moreover, it is just to welcome a guest, no matter how prominent the status, how can it be greeted with a feeling of joy? Perhaps, the world of cultivators is really difficult for ordinary people to understand, right?

I looked out the window at the busy and lively crowd for a moment, and then began to bow my head and concentrate on embroidering the cross-stitch in my hand.

In the past two days, I have been particularly leisurely, except for the hygiene in the house, I occasionally went to see the medicinal herbs, and I didn't have to care about anything, because Shen Xinglin hadn't returned to the house these days, and even Aunt Shen Liu was often haunted.

In this afternoon, I heard that the big man was coming, but I didn't know where Shen Xinglin and Aunt Shen Liu went? I was only told that if there was nothing special to do these days, I would have to stay in the house obediently and not go out.

I understood that the implication was that I couldn't meet that big man.

I don't care, this news is already great news for me, but I am a little worried about Xiaohe, thinking that I will not see him for a few days.

"Quick, Aunt Shen Liu, help me take a look again, am I good-looking?" Just when I lowered my head and was embroidering seriously, Shen Xinglin's exaggerated voice came from the room.

When did she go back to the house? I don't know at all, but I'm not going to be bored at this time.

"Ouch, don't say that our apricot forest is dressed up, even if you don't dress up, who in this village dares to compare with you?" is as exaggerated as Shen Xinglin, it is Aunt Shen Liu.

To be honest, Shen Xinglin is not ugly, but she is definitely not a beauty, at least in the village, I have seen several more beautiful than Shen Xinglin, I can't help but think that Aunt Shen Sixth is so exaggerated, in case Shen Xinglin is hit, how can she take back her words? However, in this village, who would dare to attack Shen Xinglin?

The sound of praise outside the house was still there, and it was loud as if a horn had been released.

I couldn't calm down and embroider, so I just put down the embroidery and looked out the window.

At this time, I saw that the village was actually pulled up with strings of colored lights, and even the sides of the road were lined with various decorations, and the road was even more extravagant with red carpets.

I dragged my chin, and the more I didn't want to be curious, the more I couldn't help but think, what kind of big guy is he?

Outside, I heard Shen Xinglin's hurried footsteps, it seemed that he was trotting out of the house, and Aunt Shen Liu followed behind, until I was about to open the door, I suddenly heard Aunt Shen Liu say: "Xinglin, if you are really fancied, I will be helpless in the village." ”

"Don't worry, Aunt Shen Liu, where do I go, and I will not be allowed to bring a grandmother?" Shen Xinglin's voice was a little impatient.

"I want to follow Miss Xinglin, but my little treasure he..."Aunt Shen Liu's words were a little hesitant here.

"Xiaobao? Naturally, I'll let my grandmother take care of it. Shen Xinglin replied casually, then opened the door and went out, Aunt Shen Liu heard this, and actually cried loudly and said "Thank you, Miss", I don't know if Shen Xinglin listened to it?

However, this conversation made me suddenly understand in my heart, there are no evil people in this world for no reason, why Aunt Shen Liu would be so malicious to me, it seems that everything is related to Shen Xinglin.

But why did Shen Xinglin target me so much? I still haven't come up with a very reliable reason for standing up.

In the past, I didn't care too much about Shen Xinglin's reasons for targeting me, but now, I am very eager to know, because only by knowing the reasons can I find a way to resolve this targeting... The future is so uncertain, a month has already made me tremble, not to mention two months to survive?

As for that big man, I don't think it will bring any changes to Shen Xinglin's life, it's not that Shen Xinglin's appearance is not outstanding, but I haven't heard that the big man is going to choose a wife here or something, Shen Xinglin's calculations are obviously trying to climb up to that big man.

I'm used to seeing the right and wrong in the workplace, and I think it's not so easy to weigh it carefully, there are many reasons for this, I think Shen Xinglin, a cultivator who is delicate but has not experienced complicated interpersonal relationships, should not understand.

I thought about it, but I didn't know who was shouting in the village, coming, coming! ... So, the whole village exploded.

I was startled by the sound of firecrackers, and before I could come to my senses, I heard the joy of blowing and playing... Then the people of the village ran out of the house and rushed towards the entrance of the village.

I couldn't help but laugh at this excitement, and I don't know where the big guy came from, like this style? This kind of formation is not like greeting anyone, but like marrying a daughter-in-law.

Just when I was happy to watch the excitement, there was a knock on the door outside the house, how dare I slack off, I was afraid that Shen Xinglin or Aunt Shen Sixth would come back, so I quickly got up and ran to the door to open the door, but I didn't want to open the door, but it was a stranger.

I don't know why, after staying in this village for a month, I have become more sensitive to everyone's aura, just like the person in front of me, I can immediately feel that he is a cultivator, and I can also feel the faint flow of energy in his body, which is slightly weaker than Shen Xinglin.

"What are you doing?" The visitor was a little dissatisfied, and there was also a trace of impatience, and from time to time he would turn his head to look at the lively place at the entrance of the village, and it seemed that he also wanted to show his face in front of the big man or something.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me? "In this village, as long as you are a cultivator, you must not be able to offend me, I quickly asked respectfully. As for the feeling that was too real just now, I wasn't sure about anything, and there was no Shen Jingyun by his side to ask, so I could only skip it.

"Went to the kitchen in the village to help. This is the order of the patriarch. The person who came simply threw this sentence at me and was leaving.

I quickly stopped him and said, "It's definitely no problem to help, but does my Miss Xinglin know?" "I don't want to leave Shen Xinglin and Aunt Shen Sixth any handle, so I have to ask quickly, after all, they specially ordered me before that I was not allowed to go out.

"This is the order of the patriarch, and your master will certainly not say anything. Besides, no matter how big it is, when I see her, I will naturally make a ward. The man said with a frown.

I was a little hesitant, if Shen Xinglin wanted to punish me for this reason, she could also use the patriarch's order to make a fuss, and this person might not be able to help me speak or anything at that time.

The man urged: "The companions of the whole village, everyone will go." Do you want to be special just because your master is Shen Xinglin? As he spoke, there was anger on his face.

But this sentence naturally made me no longer hesitate, the companions of the whole village, everyone had to go, and Shen Xinglin couldn't pretend to be confused when the time came.

I nodded and immediately agreed. After locking the door, I hurried towards the village kitchen, but I had a poor free time.

By the time I got to the kitchen, it was already busy, and one of the supervising cultivators didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and when he saw me coming, he casually threw me a task of washing and chopping vegetables, and then ignored me.

I didn't say much, silently walked to the desk of the super large kitchen in the village and began to clean the vegetables, and I definitely didn't dare to be sloppy. Because there are people guarding in front of the desk, the washed dishes must be clean, and the cut dishes must be beautiful and neat.

It's an exaggeration, a hundred and ten people are busy in the kitchen, even if a few hundred people are invited to a banquet in the countryside, it won't keep so many people busy.

I only dared to think about this idea in my heart, soaked my hands in the cold water, and began to carefully wash the cabbage in my hands one by one, and the "team leader" roared on the side: "Rough leaves and the like, don't do it, don't look like we are stingy." Only the most essential parts of any dish are taken, and today's business is done, and everything is easy to say! If it doesn't work, if anything goes wrong..."

I buried my head in washing the dishes, I didn't bother to listen to this kind of threat, and I felt that this so-called cultivator village seemed to like to threaten people like this.

But while I was washing the dishes, a figure squatted beside me, I was slightly startled, and when I looked up, I saw a slightly familiar face, I couldn't remember it for a while, but I saw a little yellow bag deliberately exposed on her apron.

Isn't that the bag of cookies I gave to Xiaohe? When I saw this, I immediately remembered this slightly familiar but ordinary, even a little old face, isn't it Xiaohe's mother?

"You'reβ€”" I said in surprise, wanting to say hello to her.

In this whole village, I like Xiaohe the most, I really like him, so it is also kind to meet his mother.

But I didn't want to, his mother made a silent gesture to me, and then while bowing her head to wash the vegetables, she said to me in a small voice that only I could hear: "Thank you for being so good to my son, he has grown so big, and he is very happy to eat cookies for the first time." ”

"What's that big deal? You're welcome. Seeing that she was so cautious, I also lowered my voice to a very low level, and whispered to her as well.

"I want to thank you, there is no human touch in this village. I really appreciate that you can truly love my son. She continued to whisper to me.

I didn't know what to say, but after a simple two-sentence conversation, I felt that Xiaohe's mother was an understanding person.

"Sister Xiaoshuang, I deliberately adjusted to work with you, just to take this opportunity to chat with you. I speak, you just listen. But before I do that, I want to ask you a question. Xiaohe's mother was washing the vegetables naturally, and in the noisy environment, if she wasn't very close to us, she wouldn't have noticed her talking at all.

"What's the problem?" Although she was chatting, I was nervous by her vigilance.

"Isn't it bitter that you are doing a companion in Shen Xinglin?" Xiaohe's mother asked me such a question.

I was stunned for a moment.
