Luo Li was carrying a bag of melon seeds, bulging, weighing about five or six catties, and the people in the village smiled when they saw him, greeted him warmly, and the whole village chief was full of heating.

"Big baby, why did you come back so early today?" As soon as he entered, the big yellow dog greeted him, wagging his tail happily, and pounced on the melon seeds in him.

He raised it higher, successfully avoided it, and said with a smile: "There are many guests in the morning, and I want to rest in the afternoon." ”

The woman did not suspect him, and stared at his object, "What are you buying melon seeds for?" ”

Luo Li smiled: "My little sister goes to school hard, and there are no snacks at home, so I will buy her some food to satisfy her hunger." ”

The woman nodded, "Hang it up." ”

"Hmm." The man put the melon seeds in the basket, pulled the rope, and the bamboo basket was suspended in the air to prevent rats from stealing food, tied the end of the rope, he lowered his head and sniffed the sweat on his body, and stepped towards the stove.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yulian, who was the woman before, wondered.

"I'll take a shower." He poured water into the pot in his house, not noticing the woman's strangeness.

Chen Yulian stopped choosing vegetables, her eyes were a little strange: "It's not dark yet, what are you taking a bath?" I sweated for a while, and I got dirty. ”

Luo Li covered the pot and lit a fire: "It's been a busy day, and my body stinks." ”

"I've never seen you so particular before."

He didn't answer, but picked up the branch and threw it into the stove, and the orange flames danced under his eyes like elves.

Chen Yulian didn't care about him anymore, lowered her head and quietly chose vegetables.

There was silence between the two.

The only sound in the stove room was the crackling of dry wood being burned, and the growing sound of boiling water.

As the white gas drilled out of the cracks, he lifted the lid of the pot, and the water droplets dripped back into the pot from the edge of the lid, and poured out a lot of white bubbles.

After Luo Li took a bath happily, the red sun had already sunk more than halfway to the west, and he remembered one thing...... He doesn't know how to cook!

Luo Ying hadn't finished school yet, and it was obviously even more impossible to let Chen Yulian do it, so this rough man tried to cook for the first time, and the result was ...... Paste a pot.

Chen Yulian smelled the smell and ran over, feeling distressed about the half-pasted rice.

"Big baby, what are you cooking! Where can I eat rice at night? And some porridge is enough! She looked at the half-battered rice in the pot and muttered.

Luo Li touched his nose and said with a smile: "Mom, I've done everything, you can stir-fry some more vegetables and make do with it." ”

It's a pity to throw it away, Chen Yulian thought that it was only like this, so she washed the selected green vegetables, cut some tofu, added some oil and salt, and fried them in the pot.

The stove room was filled with oil smoke, the roof was full of smoke, and the white mist was fluttering, Luo Li helped to light the fire, squinting at the sky, and his heart was a little anxious.

As soon as the dishes were cooked, as soon as Chen Yulian left, he couldn't wait to fill a box of meals, found a paper bag in the house, and stuffed half a bag of melon seeds with him.

"Where are you going?" The woman finished drinking the water and came out of the house, her eyes fixed on the bag in him.

Luo Li's back stiffened, and he turned his head back: "I'll pick up my little sister." ”

"What are you doing with her? The school is in the south, close to our house, you come back early today, repair the roof on the east side of the second floor, your father's waist can't do it. She approached and pulled the bag and looked, "Big baby, what are you doing with food?" ”

Luo Li was silent for a while, and said, "Give it to others." ”

"Someone else? Who? ”

“…… Teacher Xi. ”

The cicadas chirp slightly, the branches sway, and the ground is mottled with light and shadow.
