Chapter 050: You Take Care of the Lazy
Kou Juncheng watched Xi Menglan's excited hands and dances, and he slowly had expectations for the soul ladder in the Eagle Ditch.
"There must be a story in the second uncle's body, and it's not small."
Xi Menglan looked at Kou Juncheng and said a word with deep meaning, she strongly felt that this soul ladder must be real, even if he didn't say it.
"Second Uncle doesn't even dare to drink water here, I'm afraid that you will ask questions, but now it's okay, do you still want to ask?"
Kou Juncheng looked at Xi Menglan with a serious face and asked.
Xi Menglan sat next to her, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she didn't speak, what was revealed in her eyes was that she was completely sure.
"I have my own way to do this, you and the second uncle can build a pigsty with peace of mind, don't worry, I won't embarrass the second uncle."
After Xi Menglan finished speaking, she patted the soil on her body and walked into the house.
Kou Juncheng looked at her figure, wanting to stop her and ask carefully, but then he thought about it.
The second uncle arrived at 8 o'clock in the morning and left at 6 o'clock in the evening every day, and on the third day, the pigsty wall was waist-high, and he looked at it from a distance, like the kind of pigsty he wanted.
While the two of them were busy, Simonlan prepared the dishes and put them aside, and then left the house.
With her familiarity with this place in the past few days, Xi Menglan walked to a few older people's houses, asking about Eagle Gully and Soul Ladder, and I don't know why, I asked a few families if they hadn't heard of it, which made Xi Menglan very confused.
Looking at their age, they are not younger than the second uncle, and it stands to reason that they should have heard a little about what the second uncle has experienced.
After asking a few families to no avail, Xi Menglan, who was full of expectations, had a disappointed face on her face.
Walking aimlessly on the road, looking at the children chasing and playing in front of her, with smiles on her faces, she couldn't help but be infected by this smile, and looked at them and laughed.
"Isn't this the new daughter-in-law of the Kou family?"
Just as Simonlan was fascinated by the group of children, three or five women sat under the roots of the big willow tree, waving their hands towards Simonlan.
Xi Menglan couldn't walk away from the left and right, so she had to grin at the corners of her mouth.
"Ladies and aunts."
Xi Menglan doesn't know whose family it is, she only knows that her generation is very young, and she is called Aunt Auntie wherever she goes.
"Aren't you busy building a pigsty at home, what's going on?"
"Very good...... Hey hey"
"It's really capable, how old is this, and you can raise pigs."
"Okay...... Hey hey"
"Isn't it almost over, I seem to have seen your second uncle come for three days, right?"
"Uh-uh...... Yes"
Facing you and asking her one by one, Xi Menglan looked at them with a smile on her face, and always felt that the muscles on her face were sore.
"Lan Lan."
Kou Juncheng called Ximenglan from afar, Ximenglan nodded and smiled with them, turned around and rushed towards Kou Juncheng, it was not an exaggeration at all, it was just rushing away.
"You're my savior!"
Xi Menglan took Kou Juncheng's arm and said excitedly.
"As soon as I saw you there, I knew that you couldn't get out, so I quickly called you back, what is the place under the roots of the big willow tree, the place where the aunts and aunts in the village are gathered, and the parents are gossiping non-stop, I am not at ease when you are there."
Kou Juncheng knew how terrible the gossip of the women in the village was, commonly known as pulling the tongue of the wife, three or five got together, after talking about the east family, the west family, and the south family and the north family, in short, he would not talk about his own family.
Kou Zhenge watched Ximenglan enter the courtyard, his eyes involuntarily avoided it, Ximenglan could see it clearly, but he didn't say anything, looked at him and smiled.
"The pigsty is completed, Lan Lan came to take a look, do you still like it?"
Kou Zhenge threw the stone in his hand into the pile of stones next to him, pointed to the pigsty behind him and said with a smile.
Xi Menglan didn't mention anything else, just lay down on the position of the pigsty door and looked inside, nodding constantly, no matter the size or height, it was the kind she liked.
"Second uncle's craftsmanship, absolutely!"
Xi Menglan gave Kou Zhenge a thumbs up and praised it.
"Well, with Lanlan's words, the second uncle has been tired for three days, go and fry a few dishes for the second uncle, and when I get the chicken pen ready, I will have two drinks with Juncheng today."
Kou Zhenge looked at Ximenglan and didn't see outside, looking at her as she spoke.
Xi Menglan nodded and smiled, frying a few dishes is a trivial matter, from the beginning of sifting sand to now forming, it was all helped by the second uncle little by little, there was no salary, just asked to cook a meal, which is not too much.
"Then I'll go."
Xi Menglan watched Kou Zhenge finish speaking and walked to the kitchen, but was stopped by Kou Juncheng halfway.
"Alas, Lan Lan, do you know how to cook, so you agreed?"
Kou Juncheng looked at Xi Menglan with a nervous face.
Xi Menglan glanced at Kou Zhenge, who was busy behind her, and raised her eyebrows again when she looked at Kou Juncheng, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked.
"I said, what are you two muttering about, don't you even eat your meal?"
Kou Zhenge looked at the two of them muttering, looking at the two of them with the things in his hand and asked.
Xi Menglan said no, pushed Kou Juncheng to the side, turned around and went into the kitchen.
Kou Juncheng was still a little worried about looking at Xi Menglan's side, if it wasn't for Kou Zhenge's half-heartedness in reprimanding him, it is estimated that he would be able to watch Xi Menglan while working.
Xi Menglan stood in the kitchen, looking at the dishes she had prepared, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she had been here for so long, Kou Juncheng didn't know that she could cook, and she had to show them a hand to say anything today, so that they would be surprised.
Just do it, can these dishes still be difficult to get my Ximonlan?
Simalan put on her apron, rolled up her sleeves, and began to take charge.
Within five minutes, she couldn't open her eyes with the fumes, and she didn't even calculate that there was no range hood at home, and cooking was not so comfortable at all.
Coughing several times in a row, her eyes were choked red, a few dishes were finally fried, seeing that Kou Zhenge and Kou Juncheng were still busy, she washed her face with the warm water next to her, changed into clean clothes, put the food in place, and sat next to them and waited for them.
This stove is used for the first time, and there is no range hood, Xi Menglan looked back at a few dishes, and she couldn't tell the sourness.
In less than ten minutes, the two of them finished the chicken pen, patted the soil on their bodies, walked to Ximonlan's side, and cleaned it briefly.
Kou Zhenge looked at the dishes on the table, with meat and vegetables, and couldn't help but be shocked.
"This is all Lan Lan's craft?"
Simonlan lifted her chin triumphantly, nodded, and looked at him and smiled.
"You can cook?"
Kou Juncheng washed up, and threw an incredible look directly at Ximenglan.
"I never said I wouldn't cook, I just had you to take care of me, so I was just lazy."
