Chapter Twenty-Three: Neighbors
Ming Yueqing originally thought that the matter between her and the Shen family would be over.
She helped Shen Lingxi, and Shen Lingxi gave her a bow and arrow to show her gratitude, and everyone returned to you and never communicated again.
It's just that she didn't expect that things would develop completely beyond her expectations.
In just a few days, on the hillside next to her small yard, a fenced yard was quickly built, with black tiles and white walls.
Simple but not shabby, there is a lot of farmhouse fun everywhere, as if it were originally here.
However, no one in Qingshan Village knew who the owner of this courtyard was, not even the village chief, only that a tea merchant had bought the land, built a courtyard, and would live here in the future.
In contrast, the villagers of Qingshan Village are not repulsive.
After another three days, when Mingyue got up early in the morning to stretch in the yard, she heard a few dog barks from the yard next to her.
She was a little curious, turned her head to look, and saw a little milk-white dog scratching the fence wall with its little paws, trying to get out.
The bright moon is happy, this little dog has pure white fur, and its ears are like fox ears, isn't this Samoyed!
Just as she watched little Satsuma smile, a clear voice made her can't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Morning, Qingqing!"
It's Shen Lingxi.
He was dressed in azure straight, his hair was tied up high, his figure was slender and straight, and he was looking at her with a smile.
"Why are you here?"
"From now on, I will be Qingqing's neighbor, and I will live here."
Ming Yueqing looked at him, and then at Xiao Satsuma, who was still scratching the fence, and was a little suspicious: "You are what the village chief said, the tea merchant?" But what are you doing in Castle Peak Village? ”
There is no tea in Aoyama Village.
"Let's survey the terrain!" Shen Lingxi opened his mouth with a smile, obviously in a good mood, he squatted down and picked up the puppy and walked over.
"Qingqing, look, isn't it cute?"
Ming Yueqing likes small animals, she couldn't help but touch them, they were soft, fleshy, and cute.
"It's so cute!" She looked up, "You raised it?" ”
"It was given to him by my father's friend, and he didn't want to raise it, so he gave it to me." Shen Lingxi looked at her and asked her.
"I haven't raised small animals either, Qingqing, would you like to raise them with me? I'm afraid I won't be able to raise it alone. ”
Mingyueqing was stunned, looked at him, and then looked at the puppy, but it was just a pet, so it should be no problem.
She nodded, "Okay! ”
Shen Lingxi raised his eyebrows: "Then, Qingqing, since we want to raise it, why don't we give it a name?" ”
"Well, I'm going to take a name." Ming Yueqing looked at him, "You can get it." ”
Shen Lingxi thought about it with his eyebrows, and was a little embarrassed: "Qingqing, it's better for you to pick it up, I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think of any suitable name." ”
Ming Yueqing thought about it when she heard this, and looked at the puppy that was fluttering in her arms, and the corners of her mouth curved again.
"This little dog has a snow-white coat and no impurities, so if you don't go, it's called stepping on the snow!"
"Okay, it's called snow treading." Shen Lingxi nodded hurriedly, stretched out his finger and tapped Treadsnow's nose, "From now on, if you have a name, it will be called Treadsnow, remember!" ”
Ming Yueqing chuckled.
She glanced at the small courtyard and asked, "What about Chaoge, didn't he come with you?" ”
"I'm alone."
"Do you really want to live here? Alone? ”
Ming Yueqing was a little skeptical, can a young master be self-reliant? No, can you live alone?
No matter how you look at it, she thinks it's unlikely.
Shen Lingxi seemed to know what she was thinking, he nodded, and his tone was firm: "Yes, I will live here alone, so ......"
He looked at Ming Yueqing, smiling brightly, soft and cute, "Please take care of Qingqing in the future!" ”
“…………”
Ming Yueqing had a feeling of being pitted.
"Qingqing, have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet, I just got up."
"That's right, I made breakfast, let's eat together!"
Mingyue Qingqing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "You made breakfast?" ”
Shen Lingxi smiled shyly and expectantly: "Well, do you want to try it?" ”
After a pause, he said, "The first time I did it, I didn't control it well, I made a little too much, you can eat it together, don't waste it." ”
Ming Yueqing was still a little incredulous, she nodded: "Okay." ”
Shen Lingxi grinned.
Looking at this newly completed courtyard, although it is also the courtyard of the Shen family, it does not have the magnificence of the courtyard of a large family, and the inside is the same as the appearance of the courtyard, simple and natural.
The layout is also simple, similar to Ming Yueqing's home.
A table was placed in the courtyard, Shen Lingxi handed the snow to Ming Yueqing, turned around and went into the kitchen.
"Breakfast is coming."
After a while, he came out with a tray.
Breakfast is very simple, multigrain porridge, steamed buns, and crisp and refreshing side dishes.
"Wow, you can still steam steamed buns!" Ming Yueqing was surprised, "I haven't learned it until now, it's too complicated." ”
Shen Lingxi blushed a little, but his eyes were bright: "Qingqing, you taste it." ”
"Okay."
In his expectant eyes, Ming Yueqing first drank a mouthful of porridge, then took a bite of a steamed bun, and took a chopstick side dish, which was so comfortable.
Ming Yueqing swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at him suspiciously.
Shen Lingxi was a little nervous: "How is it?" ”
"Ling Xi, your real identity can't be a cook, right?"
"Huh?"
"It's so delicious to cook! I don't even see it! ”
Shen Lingxi understood, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the smile in his eyes was about to overflow.
Ming Yueqing was really surprised, after all, the last time he lived in her house, he ate a bowl of noodles with relish.
"This steamed bun is soft and delicious, better than Aunt Lin'er's cooking, this porridge is fragrant and soft and glutinous, and this side dish is a pickled cucumber, it's so crisp!"
After Ming Yueqing finished speaking, she took another bite of the sour cucumber, which was sour, crunchy, and a little spicy, very delicious, and crunchy in her mouth.
"If you like it." Shen Lingxi watched her eat, looking satisfied.
Ming Yueqing didn't see his expression, she was studying the sour cucumber, she had also done it, but unfortunately it was not as delicious as Shen Lingxi's cooking.
"You eat it too!"
"Okay."
On a late autumn morning, in the warm courtyard of the farmhouse, the two had breakfast in the courtyard.
Ming Yueqing looked at the disc in front of her and sighed with emotion: "Hey, I didn't expect you to have the hidden skill of cooking, this neighbor is good!" ”
Clapping her hands, she stood up, "Okay, since we've had breakfast, I'll wash the dishes!" ”
Shen Lingxi also stood up, as if he wanted to stop it, but as if he thought of something, the outstretched hand paused, and he nodded.
"That's the hard work cleared."
"Eat and drink enough, nothing hard." Ming Yueqing didn't care, "By the way, what do you eat when you step on the snow?" ”
"I left porridge for it."
"That's okay, you take care of the snow, I'll wash the dishes."
Seeing Ming Yueqing happily enter the kitchen, Shen Lingxi showed a big smile.
From today onwards, they are neighbors.
