Chapter Forty-Eight: Caught Lying

"Great!"

Zhong Xixi put the noodle bowl on the table, leaned over to look at the quilt, and suddenly his eyebrows were crooked.

The stitch thread is neat, there is no extra thread, and the cotton is soft and warm after beating.

If later generations want to buy such a handmade quilt, the price is not cheap.

Zhong Xixi felt that he had earned it, and his smile became happier and happier, his eyes were like crescent moons, and the dimples at the corners of his mouth were a little deeper.

He Quhao was stunned for a moment, and the god wanted to reach out and poke it.

"Help me, thank you, grandma.

Zhong Xixi stretched out his hand to hold the quilt and walked into the house, and when he came out, he inadvertently saw He Quhao staring at the bowl of noodles on the table for a few seconds, and only retracted his gaze after seeing her come out.

Zhong Xixi didn't know if she was mistaken, anyway, she saw He Quhao's Adam's apple sliding up and down.

This is, hungry?

Zhong Xixi tilted his head and stood at the door, and said with a smile, "Have you eaten, if you haven't eaten, let's eat some together, just right, there are more in the pot, I'll fill it for you." ”

"Grandma ate first, didn't cook me, so she hasn't eaten yet. I'm not very hungry, so I can just go back and deal with two mouthfuls. ”

He Quhao raised his head, his face had returned to normal, but he just said go, and his foot didn't move at all.

"People are iron, food is steel, you work a lot all day and night, and we have ready-made ones at home."

"That'...... All right! ”

He Quhao thought carefully and seriously for three seconds, and finally sat down.

Raw and cooked twice, unconsciously, his skin has become thicker.

"Then you eat the bowl on the table first, and I'll make the rest right away."

Zhong Xixi turned around and went to the kitchen again, today's noodles are hand-rolled, and I made more ones at one time, ready to serve breakfast tomorrow, there are many marinades, and it is not troublesome to make a bowl of noodles.

Outside, He Quhao and Zhong Mumu stared wide-eyed.

Little by little, the aroma of the noodles drilled uncontrollably into his nose.

Zhong Mumu sneered, blinked his eyes, and looked at He Quhao seriously.

"Brother He, my sister's cooking is very delicious."

So I can understand you coming to eat or something.

He Quhao, "......"

The blush that was pierced in the heart flashed.

After a while, Zhong Xixi came out with two large bowls of noodles and pushed a bowl in front of He Quhao.

"You eat more."

After eating and drinking, He Quhao offered to wash the dishes.

He can't do this without just eating and working.

When washing the dishes, He Quhao quietly looked at the residence of the sisters and brothers, there was really nothing, and many daily necessities were not complete.

The tables and chairs are not complete, and many of them are still in tatters.

"The house is empty, it's not like a home, tell me what you want, I'll find a way to help you get it, don't think about it alone, there is a lot of power."

Anyway, grandma said to let him help more, and he will come to work after work then, just in time for dinner.

"No need."

Zhong Xixi said with a smile.

When He Quhao heard this, her heart tightened, and an indescribable emotion came to her heart, she rejected him.

But in the next second, Zhong Xixi was heard to continue.

"I'm already preparing to build a house, and the captain has approved the homestead, which is next to your house, and I have to trouble you to help when the time comes."

Building a house is not something that she and Zhong Mumu can do together, and when the time comes, she can ask He Quhao to help.

He Quhao's eyes lit up suddenly, and they were a little scary.

She said that the homestead was right next to their house?

Wouldn't you see her every day...... Cooked a meal?

"Okay, you can talk about something then."

"By the way, wait for me to go over with you to thank grandma, she made quilts for us, and it was also hard, I went to the black market to change some canned food and came back, so that she could eat some canned food."

Zhong Xixi took two bottles of canned food, held them in his hands, and walked behind He Quhao in a hurry.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that there was still rice on the table, and Grandma He was sitting next to her and looking around at the door, as if she was waiting for someone.

Seeing He Quhao's tall figure from a distance, he began to mutter.

"Why did it take so long to come back, the food was cold."

After Grandma He finished speaking, she saw that Zhong Xixi was behind her, and she was slightly stunned, and then said enthusiastically.

"Miss Zhong, here, have you eaten, come and eat?"

"I've eaten, grandma, He Quhao has also eaten at my house, it's just a matter of time!"

Zhong Xixi glanced back at He Quhao, who was following him, and instantly understood, puffed out his cheeks, and turned his head to look at He Quhao.

This guy dares to go to her house to eat.

"Grandma."

He Quhao's face was slightly red, and he looked up at the sky.

This is an unprecedented lie, and it was also exposed in person.

"Oh, I forgot, the stinky boy told me that I was going to your house for dinner, I am old, my memory is not good, and I forgot it when I turned my head. No, he also made his meal, which was wasted. ”

Grandma He was empowered and hurriedly helped He Quhao to cover.

No wonder this kid just said that he wanted to go over now, just to rub the rice!

I didn't let her know about it.

After He Quhao listened, his face turned even redder, and he went directly to the root of his ear.

This explanation, it's better not to explain, it's difficult to dismantle, but grandma she dismantled it more thoroughly.

"Grandma, don't waste it, he eats a lot, and he will eat it when he is hungry!"

Zhong Xixi doesn't want to expose the mutual cover-up of the grandparents and grandchildren, everyone just knows it in their hearts, and it's not a big deal.

Rubbing rice just shows that her cooking skills are good!

"Miss Zhong came just in time, come here, I'll measure your body, there is still a lot of cloth left, just enough to make two new clothes for you and Mu Mu. Stinky boy, you go and call Mu Mu over too. ”

Grandma He felt that if she didn't speak again, her grandson might be like that mouse, and she would make a hole in the spot and find a reason to open it.

"Grandma, why don't you take a two-day break before you do it, it's not the New Year yet, and the new clothes will take some time."

Looking down and seeing Grandma He's gray hair and the furrows on her face, Zhong Xixi felt a little distressed.

It's not easy for the elderly either.

"It's okay, if you don't find me some work to do, I'm still depressed, I've worked all my life, and I can't be idle when I'm old!"

Grandma He's movements were orderly, and after measuring it, she drew a line with white stone on the cloth, which was neat and tidy.

"You don't know, when I was young, my female workers were first-class and good, and many girls of the same age loved to ask me for advice......"

After measuring the clothes, Zhong Xixi pointed to the cans on the table and said.

"Come, grandma, I brought you canned food, eat more for your health, the doctors in town said. I'll give you something else next time to replenish your body. ”

"Canned food is enough, don't send me anything, it's a waste of money, it's not easy for young people."

"Grandma, if it's okay, I'll go and get busy first, and I'll deal with the herbs, and promise to give a batch of plasters to the family in two days."

After saying goodbye to Grandma He, Zhong Xixi took the guy up the mountain.

The mountains of this era are good, undeveloped, herbs are everywhere, and of course, there are many poisonous snakes.

To be on the safe side, she still brought a packet of sulfur powder with her, and sprinkled some on the edges of her shoes, so as not to be bitten by a snake if she was cold.

"Earth Dragon!"

"Nightshade!"

In addition to the herbs used as plasters, Zhong Xixi also picked some others, dried them, which can boil soup, clear heat and relieve heat, and also put down the fire.

Before you know it, the sun is about to set.

Zhong Xixi packed up his things and walked down the path.

Now that the problem of herbs is solved, there is only a pot left, which is a problem......
