Chapter 184: Like an old husband and wife
During this period, he noticed that although Gao Xiaoxiao's figure was similar to Gao Xiao's in Fu Zong, his more skillful movements when helping to collect those dried autumn chrysanthemums and chili peppers were completely different from his understanding, and he had never gone out much, and the eldest lady who stayed in Fu Zongzong with ten fingers that did not touch the spring water was completely different.
"Could it be that I'm really suspicious...... Zhuo Xiu muttered, temporarily withdrew his gaze, took out the positioning talisman placed in his cuff, and looked at the glowing gold pattern on it, very puzzled.
"But how can this puppet doll prove it?"
The puppet doll he made can't be transferred twice, and even if it is transferred, only the owner of the contract with the puppet doll can call it.
Gao Xiaoxiao didn't know that Zhuo Xiu's imagination had diverged to this point, and after helping Aunt Wang put away another dustpan of dried chili peppers, she wiped the sweat on her forehead.
"Little lady of the juniper family, you look at the thin skin and tender meat, I thought you were not very good at doing this kind of rough work, but I didn't expect you to do it, and your hands and feet are more neat than Lao Li, an old guy who often does rough work!"
Regarding Aunt Wang's compliment, Gao Xiaoxiao first scratched her face embarrassedly, and then replied half-truthfully: "I have helped the elders of the family at home before, so I am more skilled, but compared to Uncle Li, I am definitely still far behind." ”
Between the words, Gao Xiaoxiao found that the light around him had dimmed a lot, so he didn't delay any longer, and walked to the back room with the chili peppers that had been put away in the cloth bag.
There, Zhuang Hui was helping Uncle Li unfold the big cloth bag for Qiu Ju and help pack the dried Qiu Ju.
At this time, the autumn chrysanthemums and red peppers that were placed in the dustpan and placed in the courtyard and on the tiled house for drying were all put away, and they had to be bagged one by one.
Gao Xiaoxiao's front foot had just arrived at the place where the big cloth bag was placed at Zhuang Hui's feet, and his back foot heard the sound of ticking rain falling on the eaves, and the autumn rain was pouring outside.
As soon as the rain came, the wind, which had been mild and warm, quickly cooled down.
After Gao Xiaoxiao helped Aunt Wang bag Qiu Ju, she couldn't hold back two sneezes.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang said that she would send her a pot of ginger tea after Gao Xiaoxiao and Zhuang Hui entered a clean and tidy room with potted bouquets.
It is said that ginger tea drives away the cold, and you can feel much better if you drink it, so as not to suffer from the cold for helping them collect things, that is their sin.
Gao Xiaoxiao couldn't resist Aunt Wang, so she had no choice but to reach out and take it.
The house that Zhuo Xiu wanted to rent and Gao Xiaoxiao were next to each other, and there was only a wall in between.
The rented house is indeed as Uncle Li said, and it has been specially decorated and cleaned up by them.
The furniture and bedding inside are all new, and not only that, but the contents are also clean and shiny by them.
When Gao Xiaoxiao opened a small gap in the window to ventilate the air, he barely felt any dust.
She brought in the pot of chrysanthemums that were wet with rain but still bloomed, and after placing them on the windowsill, Fang cleaned her hands and went to drink the ginger tea that Zhuang Hui had used a spoon to help her cool down.
"I tasted the ginger tea for you, it was a little spicy, so I put some brown sugar on you, can you taste it and see if the taste is acceptable?" If it still doesn't work, I'll put more for you. Zhuang Hui said, picking up a dry handkerchief and carefully wiping his hands for Gao Xiaoxiao.
Outside, there was the sound of crackling rain dripping on the ground, interspersed with the sound of whistling wind and the cacophony of chickens and ducks.
Although it sounded more chaotic, Gao Xiaoxiao combined this voice and looked at the young man in front of him who was doing things for her seriously, and suddenly a strange kind of peace and satisfaction suddenly arose in his heart.
It's as if she really told Aunt Wang and Uncle Li that she and Zhuang Hui are already husband and wife, and they are living the most ordinary married life at this time.
Zhuang Hui wiped her hands for her, and when she raised her eyes, she found that she had not used ginger tea, but stared at him in a daze, reached out and flicked her forehead with her index finger, and said in a gentle voice: "Why are you stunned?" If you don't drink this brown sugar ginger tea, it will be cold. ”
In this way, Gao Xiaoxiao retracted her ridiculous delusion, reached for the soup bowl on the table, picked up the spoon and scooped it into her mouth.
As soon as Jiang Chafu took her mouth, it was indeed so spicy that she felt that her tongue and throat were hurting together.
Although it was supplemented by the sweetness of brown sugar, it was still so unpleasant that the corners of her eyes were red, and she spit out a piece of her tongue and fanned the wind, trying to relieve the pungency.
"It's too spicy....... It tastes so good......."
Zhuang Hui didn't expect her reaction to be so strong, and after being stunned, he poured a few more pieces of brown sugar into the brown sugar cubes that he put aside for backup, and then made peace with a spoon.
After the color of the ginger tea had almost completely turned to the crimson of brown sugar, he picked up the soup bowl and took a sip of it himself.
This time, the spicy taste is still there, but it has faded a lot.
He nodded with satisfaction, and handed the improved ginger tea in his hand to Gao Xiaoxiao's lips: "Let's drink it again this time." ”
The taste Gao Xiaoxiao didn't want to try it a second time at all, and when he saw this, he waved his hand and stepped back, and said with a bitter face: "Don't drink it, don't drink it, the one I just drank is enough." ”
Zhuang Hui twisted his eyebrows when he heard this: "You just drank less than a tablespoon of ginger tea, so how can you?" If you don't say anything, you have to drink half a bowl. ”
When I heard that I was going to drink half a bowl, Gao Xiaoxiao's eyebrows frowned tighter, and her face was full of resistance: "No need, I didn't catch a cold much....... Sneeze!! ”
Before she finished speaking, an uncontrollable sneeze came out of her mouth, making her blush in an instant, and her little head hung down in embarrassment.
"I ...... I'm sleepy, I'll go to bed and sleep for a while, it's the same with couch covering. ”
Ginger tea, whether in her previous life or after entering the world of "Chivalry", she didn't like it very much.
But the taste of the ginger tea she drank in her previous life was still bearable, but the one she drank now could almost rush to her Tianling's ginger tea, and she really drank it for the first time.
Seeing her stubborn clothes on the couch, Zhuang Hui looked at the ginger tea that was still steaming in his hand, pursed his lips and followed it.
Gao Xiaoxiao thought that she would be able to escape the ginger tea when she went to bed, but she didn't think that soon after the couch was sunken, she was forced to be fed a large mouthful of ginger tea by Zhuang Hui in the way of a mouthful, and her eyes were even redder, and her face was confused.
"I'm not saying I don't drink...... Hmm......."
She couldn't finish her sentence, and was forced to take another big mouthful.
After waiting for most of the bowl of ginger tea, Zhuang Huicai got up with a faint expression, glanced at the girl with a messy expression, and got up to put the ginger soup bowl.
He discovered that sometimes when he treats her, he can't be too indulgent, so he needs to be stronger.
But the consequence of this was that when he turned back, he received an angry girl who wrapped herself in a futon and turned her back from looking at him.
